All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

Amy our guide was great! Neat to see all the 5-0 locations while getting a cool tour of the island. Highly recommended!

The crew was very cheerful, and I never felt bored even when participating alone. I did suffer a bit from seasickness due to strong winds that threatened the event, but joining the tour was definitely the right choice. If you're participating in January, I strongly recommend bringing a thick windbreaker, as just renting a wetsuit for a fee won't be enough to prevent freezing on the boat after the first snorkeling session. Additionally, motion sickness medication is essential, especially for children.

クルー皆さんが非常に陽気で、ひとりで参加しても退屈することはありませんでした。開催が危ぶまれるほどの強風の影響で多少船酔いに苦しみましたが、ツアーに参加したことは正解でした。１月参加の場合は、有料のウェットスーツを借りたぐらいでは、１回目にシュノーケリングした後に船上で凍える羽目になるので、厚手のウインドブレーカー等を持参することを強くおすすめします。加えて酔い止めの薬は必須です。（特にお子様）

This was the first tour we took on our first trip to Hawaii in April of 2016. It was absolutely amazing. We had a good time on the Star of Honolulu except it was rather windy that day. Had a blast, regardless! There were several whale sightings but, not close enough to see them which was disappointing. The breakfast was fantastic. We spent time walking about the ship taking some wonderful photos. We would definitely book another cruise when we return again.

All family members were satisfied and it became a good memory. I think being able to choose three activities at this price offers great cost performance. The staff were also kind; they accommodated us by switching us to the same tour bus as our friends who had made a separate reservation, which was very nice.

This time, I chose the movie tour, jungle tour, and fish pond tour. Actually, I couldn't choose anything else. Among the four activities, the cruise was closed on Sundays.

I believe it would be beneficial for future participants if the breakdown of selectable activities were clearly stated in advance. The buggy and horseback riding fall under the experience category.

よい思い出になったと家族全員満足しました。3つ選べてこの価格はコストパフォーマンスがいいと思います。またスタッフのかたも親切で、別で予約した友人と一緒の園内ツアーバスに代えてくれたりなど、融通を聞かせてくれ、とても良かったです。
今回は映画ツアー、ジャングルツアー、フィッシュポンドツアーを選びました。というかそれ以外選べませんでした。4つあるアクティビティのうち、クルーズは日曜はお休みでした。
選べるアクティビティの内訳が事前に明記されていると次に参加される人にとって有益だと思います。
バギー、乗馬はエクスペリエンスというくくりです。

This was the first tour I took on my first trip to Hawaii. It was absolutely amazing.

It was January, winter, with low temperatures and strong winds, along with occasional rain. It was just cold. When it rained like a downpour, it was a hellish scene. Nothing was enjoyable. I wasted both time and money. I should have researched the timing and weather properly. I recommend making reservations on-site based on the weather.

However, I have set a goal to definitely seek revenge on my next trip to Hawaii.

時期が1月と言う冬で、気温が低めでかつ天気は強風&時々雨。
とにかく寒い。スコールみたいに降った時は地獄絵図でした。
何も楽しくなかったです。時間とお金を無駄に浪費しました。
時期と天気はしっかり調べるべきでした。
天気を判断して、現地で予約をオススメします。

しかし次回のハワイは絶対リベンジしようと目標は決めれました。

I saw the whales' spouts and backs, but I felt a bit of a gap compared to the image I had in mind. However, considering it was a morning cruise off Waikiki, I think it was still quite enjoyable.

クジラの潮吹きや背中は見えましたが、イメージしてるクジラの姿とは少しギャップを感じました。ただ、朝のワイキキ沖クルーズと思えば十分アリかなと思います。

This was my second time participating. We were the only Japanese people, but even if you can't speak English, they can communicate in simple Japanese, and if you're not allergic to English, I think you can manage with gestures (laughs). I will upload a photo taken when we arrived at the snorkeling point after heading out to sea. The water and sky were both very beautiful and soothing. Life jackets and snorkeling sets (without fins) are included in the cost and are provided for free. This time, we were lucky enough to see three sea turtles! It was late December, but since I was wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, I didn't feel cold and enjoyed it. After snorkeling, free water and snacks (like chips and cookies) are distributed. I had two cups of sparkling water (I think it was $3 each). Payment is made all at once after arrival (I paid $10 including tips). On the way back, the boat rocked so much that it felt like a banana boat, which entertained the passengers (laughs), but the inside of the boat was flooded. There were about two people who seemed to be seasick and were feeling exhausted, but the staff kindly helped them by letting them smell some aromatherapy. I had a great time again. I will definitely participate next time I go to Hawaii!

2回目の参加です。日本人は私達だけですが英語が話せなくても簡単な日本語は話してくれますし、英語アレルギーが無ければ身振り手振りでも何とかなると思います（笑）。沖まで出てシュノーケルポイントに到着した時の写真をアップロードします。海の中も空もとてもキレイで癒されました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルセット（足ひれ無し）は費用に含まれているので無料で配布されます。今回は運が良くウミガメ３匹を見る事ができました！12月下旬でしたが長袖のラッシュガードを着ている事もあり寒さを感じる事無く楽しめました。シュノーケル後は無料でお水やお菓子（チップスやクッキーなど）が配られます。私は有料のスパークリング（3ドルだったかな？）を2杯もらいました。支払いは到着後まとめて払います（私はチップ込で10ドル払いました）。帰りはバナナボートかと思うくらい大きく揺らして乗客を楽しませてくれたので（笑）船内は大洪水でした。2人位船酔いのようでぐったりしている方がいましたがスタッフの方がアロマを嗅がせたり優しく対応をしていました。今回もとても楽しめました。次回ハワイに行く時も、必ず参加します！！

The overall cruise was extremely disappointing because throughout the entire cruise we saw a single whale spout either 4 or 5 times as it exhaled and a brief cloud of mist was observable for about 2 seconds. Because the spouts were so brief, I only actually saw 2 of them. However, technically, we did see a whale and were not eligible for a free re-booking.
I don't blame Star of Honolulu for the lack of whales - they are wild animals! But, I did expect more from them and am disappointed that seeing mist from a whale for a total of less than 20 seconds in a multi-hour cruise at least 100 yards away is considered a whale sighting.
Other than the lack of seeing whales - which was the entire point of going on the cruise! - the cruise itself is actually pretty good. The employees were very friendly, the food was better than expected (bring your own coffee though), and the views of Oahu from the ocean are gorgeous.
The ship is a bit dated and worn around the edges, but it was clean and offered a lot of indoor and outdoor viewing options. Because there are 4 decks, I never felt like it was crowded even though there were a lot of people on board.

This was a really great experience. Uncle Dave-the captain, Shane, and Rider all made the trip educationall, fun, and really put us all at ease. I was amazed at how many sharks we saw!

This was one of the best experiences of my life!

I wanted to participate in the program where you can swim with dolphins, but since I was pregnant, I joined this program that allows participation during pregnancy. There was a Japanese interpreter, although their Japanese was basic. Only one person gets to touch the dolphin a little. You can stroke its back and feed it (not everyone gets fish), and if you wish, you can touch its teeth a bit. You can definitely see them up close. However, since I went to Sea Life Park, I wonder if it would be better to change into a swimsuit and join a program where you can interact more? I can't say for sure since I haven't participated in that one.

They take one photo per adult. They don't take a photo of the whole family. Children can take as many photos as they want with an adult. In the end, I ended up buying two photos: one with me and the child, and one with my husband and the child (sales strategy? lol). One photo costs about $18.

I had my meal at the snack shop near the entrance. There were no Japanese menus, and the staff didn't speak Japanese. Besides the program, there are shows and aquarium-like attractions, but compared to Japanese aquariums, the quality is a bit lower.

In the end, since my child was happy, I consider it a success!

イルカと泳げるプログラムへ参加したかったのですが、妊娠していたため、妊娠中でも参加できるこちらのプログラムに参加。
片言ですが、日本語の通訳さんもいました。イルカに触れるのは１人ほんの少しです。背中辺りをなでなでして、エサあげて(全員に魚をくれるわけではないです)、希望であれば歯を触る程度。
間近で見られるのは確かですが。せっかくシーライフパークへ行くのであれば、水着に着替えて触れあえるプログラムのほうがいいのかなー？と思います。そちらは参加したことないので、なんとも言えませんが。

大人１人につき一枚写真を撮ってくれます。家族全員では撮ってくれません。子どもは、大人と一緒に何枚でもOK。結局、私と子供、主人と子供の二枚買ってしまいました(営業戦略？笑)一枚確か、18ドルぐらい。

食事は、入り口付近の売店で済ませました。日本語メニューなどもなく、店員さんも日本語は通じません。プログラム以外にも、ショーや水族館的なものはありますが、日本の水族館と比べると、クオリティは低めかな？

結果、子供が喜んでくれたのでヨシとします！

A pod of dolphins came by twice, and we could hear their calls. We also saw a whale's back and a sea turtle. It was amazing. The cheeseburger that the captain made was delicious too.

イルカの群れが2回も来てくれて、鳴き声も聴こえました。クジラの背中もウミガメも見れました。サイコーでした。船長さんが作ってくれたチーズバーガーも美味しかっです。

It's best to make reservations at the hotel tour desk, but I casually thought it would be fine. However, this hotel was under renovation and didn't have a tour desk, so I ended up booking through this site at the last minute. On the day of my reservation, it was stated that instead of showing the reservation screen on my phone, I must bring a printed copy, so I arranged for the hotel to receive a fax as instructed. When I checked with the hotel front desk, they replied, "We haven't received it." I hurriedly opened the sending screen again and resent it, and that night I was able to successfully receive the fax from the front desk. If you already know what you want to do while in Japan, I recommend making reservations in Japan and printing them out at home.

I had prepared for the pickup car to be quite late, as mentioned in the reviews, but when it was 7-8 minutes late, the office called the hotel front desk in Japanese to say, "We are delayed due to traffic. We apologize."

The length was 120 meters, and it was a very pleasant and wonderful experience. The boat swayed quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. The staff were friendly and kind. Initially, I thought a tip of $5 per person would be fine, but in the end, I gave $10 per person. The photos were $30, but since we couldn't take them ourselves, we bought them (SD card). It seems it's better to mention upfront that you intend to buy them. The group before us didn't communicate that, so when they checked at the time of purchase, they hadn't taken many photos, which was unfortunate, as mentioned by a Japanese lady in the office. That said, it felt okay not to buy them if you didn't like the photos upon checking.

The driver for the shuttle was very chatty and kept telling us that there would be fireworks at the beach nearby today (Friday) and that we should go see them! We actually went to see the fireworks at night, and it was really great.

ホテルのツアーデスクで予約すればいいや。と気軽に考えていたら、今回のホテルは改装途中でツアーデスクがなく、急遽こちらのサイトで予約しました。
当日は携帯の予約画面を見せるのではなく、プリントアウトしたものを必ず持参するようにと書いてあったので、指示通りホテルにFAXが届くように手配し、ホテルのフロントに確認したところ、「届いてないよ。」との返答。
慌ててもう一度送信画面を開いて送信し、その日の夜に無事フロントからFAXを受け取ることができました。
日本にいる時点でやりたいことが決まっている方は日本で予約して自分の家でプリントアウトすることをオススメします。

迎えの車がかなり遅れると書き込みにあったので、覚悟していたのですが、7〜8分遅れた時点でオフィスからホテルのフロントに日本語で「渋滞で遅れています。申し訳ありません。」という電話がきまし
た。

長さは120mでしたが、とっても気持ちがよく素晴らしい体験ができました。
船はかなり揺れますので、酔い止めは必須。
スタッフも気さくで優しく、最初チップは1人5
ドルでいいかなー。と思っていたのですが、結局1人10ドル渡しました。
写真も30ドルですが、自分たちでは撮れないので買いました。（SDカード）
買うつもりの方は最初に買うつもりがある。と言っておいた方がいいみたいです。
私たちの前の回の方は、それを伝えていなかったので買う時点で確認したらあまりたくさん撮ってくれてなくて可哀想だった。と事務所にいる日本人のおばさまが言ってました。
とはいえ、写真を確認してあまり気にいらなかったら買わなくても大丈夫な雰囲気でした。

送迎のドライバーさんがとーってもおしゃべりで、今日（金曜日）はこの辺のビーチで花火があるから見た方がいいよ！と私たちにも何度も言ってくれました。
実際夜花火を見に行ったのですが、とてもよかったです。

During this trip to Hawaii, I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time and, feeling adventurous, I booked this tour online while I was there. As mentioned in other people's experiences, we had a great time with our cheerful guide (a Japanese woman). We were able to spot sea turtles multiple times. The main area, the ocean of heaven, had water up to my waist, but it was shallow enough to walk, so it was fine. There were mostly newlyweds, and since the guide was taking pictures for them, my husband and I also had some taken. There were comments about the sandwiches being meager, so I’ll post a photo. American sandwiches are usually like that, but they were filling and delicious. I would like to join again, aiming for low tide.

今回のハワイ旅行で、初めてスノーケリングを楽しみ、調子に乗って、現地でネットで今回のツアーを申し込みました。
他の方の体験談にもあった通り陽気なガイドさん(日本人女性)に乗せられて、楽しく過ごせました。
ウミガメも何回も目撃に成功しました。
メインの天国の海は腰まで水があったのですが、歩けるくらいでしたので、良しとすべきでしょう。
ほとんど新婚さんで、ガイドさんに写真を撮ってもらっていたので、私たち夫婦も負けずに撮ってもらいました。
サンドイッチが貧相だったという意見もあったので、写真を投稿します。アメリカのサンドイッチはあんなもんですが、ボリューム満点で美味しかったですよ。
また干潮をねらって参加したいと思います。

There were nearly 40 participants in the early morning tour, which felt quite large. The pick-up time was perfect. We received explanations in Japanese from a very friendly staff member, and upon arriving at the port, we received rental gear and changed into wetsuits. About 10% of the participants were foreigners, with the majority being Japanese.

As soon as the boat set off, the staff introduced themselves, and we encountered dolphins! However, in a good way, we were not allowed to touch or chase the dolphins. It was more about observing the pod swimming from the water.

When there are many people from other tours nearby, it creates a significant number of humans spread out in the water, making it hard for the dolphins to come close. While this is understandable, I felt that for those who are satisfied, it could be a very rare experience. Honestly, I couldn't shake the feeling of swimming closely with the dolphins as I had imagined. Perhaps my expectations were too high. If you want that experience, a private tour might be necessary, as nearly 40 people felt like too many. While it might be necessary for efficiency, I wished for a smaller group to approach the dolphins without startling them.

We dove twice, and during the first dive to get close to the dolphins, we spent about 30 minutes in the water, which left many women feeling quite groggy. There were many beginners in snorkeling, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication or purchasing and wearing a motion sickness band. There were quite a few people on the boat who looked exhausted, so please make sure to prepare adequately for warmth.

早起きの部で、合計４０名近くでのツアー参加者が居ましたがこれがとっても多いんじゃないかなと感じました。。
送迎時間はピッタリ。とても気さくなスタッフさんから日本語で説明を受け、港に着いたらレンタルグッズをもらいウェットスーツに着替えます。海外の方は１割程度とほぼ日本人。。
船が出向してすぐにスタッフさんの自己紹介を終えるとイルカに遭遇！！

ただし、良い意味でイルカには触ってはいけないし追いかけてもいけません！！あくでもイルカの群れが泳いでいるのをこちらも海中から覗き見るという感じです。

なので他のツアーの方などが近くにいると相当な数の人間が海に広がっているのでイルカもなかなか近寄ってくれません。当然といえば当然かもですが。。。
それでも満足な方であれば非常に稀有な経験ができると思いましたが、正直想像していたよりも近くで泳ぐイルカと一緒に泳げている感覚にはなれませんでした。
ちょっと期待値が高すぎたかなと。それを望むならプライベートツアーじゃないと無理かもしれませんが、４０名近くはさすがに多すぎるように思いました。効率を考えると仕方ないかもしれませんが、本当にイルカを驚かせないように近づいてもらうためにはもっと少人数のツアーだとよかったなと感じました。
２回ダイブするのですが、１回目のイルカに近寄るダイブで３０分くらい海に浸かっているのでこの時点で相当数な女性がグロッキー状態になっておりました。シュノーケリング初心者の方が多かったそうですが、酔い止め薬を飲んでおいたり酔い止めバンドを購入して装着しておくことをお勧めしますよ。船上でもはいてる方やぐったりしている方は多かったので、防寒対策もしっかりとご準備ください。

I was nervous about whether we would actually get to see it, but we were able to see it clearly, and the kids were thrilled! Even if we hadn't seen it, I felt that cruising would have been enough, so I'm really glad we participated.

実際に見れるかドキドキでしたが、しっかりと見ることができて子供も大喜びでした！
見れなくてもクルージングできればいっかという感じでしたので本当に参加して良かったです。

Saw the chief in 1985 at PCC. Loved his wit & charm then. So glad he has come so far. Still as great as ever. Was touched by the couples dancing & Make a Wish kids. Would recommend this smaller luau to everyone!!
Thank you, Chief!

At Japanese pools, you usually have to wait in long lines to enjoy the slides, but here the park isn't too large and it wasn't crowded, so we were able to play one after another right after the park opened. Be careful with the high slides, as you have to carry your own float to the entrance and climb up from the bottom.

This time, I chose a BBQ plan because I wanted to take advantage of the free perks, but I think the entry ticket with transportation is sufficient if you don't use the perks. In fact, we didn't use the soft drinks. That said, the free perks were very helpful, and the park was fun, so I was satisfied.

日本のプールのスライダーは長蛇の列に並ばないと遊べませんが、ここは園内もそこまで広くないですし混雑もしてなかったので開園直後から次から次に遊ぶことができました。高いところにあるスライダーはふもとでその浮き輪を自分たちで持って入り口まで登らないといけないのでご注意を。
今回無料特典を利用したかったのでBBQ付のプランにしましたが、特典利用無しなら送迎付き入場券で十分だと思います。実際ソフトドリンクは利用しませんでした。とはいえ無料特典は大変助かりましたし園も面白かったので満足です。

I heard about the new zipline attraction in Hawaii and was looking forward to it as the main event of my short trip. After driving about 10 minutes from Kualoa Ranch and turning left at a small sign, I found a new facility that still felt fresh.

Thanks to the latest equipment, we checked in and confirmed our agreement to the safety regulations using a touch panel on the wall (in English), stored our belongings, weighed ourselves, and put on safety belts. Our group consisted of 10 guests and 3 zipline staff, and we had a great time throughout. I really felt that if I had been more proficient in English, I could have enjoyed it even more. Being able to speak English would have allowed me to joke around with the staff during the zipline and engage in conversations with the other group members, making for an even more enjoyable experience! However, even without English skills, the attraction is so exhilarating that there's no doubt you'll have fun!!

The zipline allows you to glide while safely suspended by ropes, which may not be suitable for those who are afraid of heights, but it gives you the feeling of being Tarzan in the great outdoors, allowing you to fully enjoy the sea and mountains of Hawaii! The staff also took fun photos during the attraction, which you can purchase later, so it's okay if you forget your camera and still want to participate in the attraction.

If I have the chance, I would definitely like to join again!!

　ハワイで新アトラクションとして登場したジップラインと聞き、今回の短期旅行のメインイベントとして楽しみにしていました。
　クアロア牧場より車でさらに10分くらい行ったところで小さな看板を左折すると、その先に広がるのは、まだ新しさを感じさせる新施設がありました。
　最新設備のため壁に付いたタッチパネルで受付や安全規約への同意確認をし（英語です）、荷物を預け、体重測定をして安全ベルトを装着しました。我々お客10人とジップラインのスタッフ３人が1グループで行動し、終始楽しく遊べました。受付からジップラインの終わりまで「英語が堪能だったらもっともっと楽しめたんだろうなぁ」と痛感しました。英語ができれば冗談を言いながらジップライン中のスタッフとも、一緒になったグループのメンバーとも会話が弾みより楽しい時間を過ごせたと思います！ただ、英語が出来なくても、アトラクションが爽快なので楽しめること間違いなしです！！
　ジップラインは安全を確保された中でロープで吊るされて滑り、高いところが苦手な人は不向きですが、大自然の中でターザンになったような気分でハワイの海と山を満喫できす！
　アトラクション中の楽しいところをスタッフのカメラで撮っておいてくれて、後で購入することもできるので、カメラを忘れてアトラクションに参加しても大丈夫です。
　機会があれば、ぜひまた参加したいです!!
　

I participated with my friend's family, and as we got closer to the area, we were able to see the spouts several times. However, since we were only able to see the spouts from quite a distance, the kids started saying it was "boring."

Just when I thought we probably wouldn't see any jumps like those in the photos, the whales put on a fantastic show.

We were able to see all the whale behaviors listed on the ship, and we were very satisfied. Both the kids and the parents were thrilled to finish the tour. I know that since they are living creatures, it might not be like this every time.

友人家族と参加しましたが、ポイント付近に近づくとすぐに潮吹きが何度もみれました。
しかし、かなり離れたところからたまに上がる潮吹きを見ていただけなので、子供たちが「つまらない」と言い始めてしまいました。

あぁ、写真で見られるようなジャンプとかはなかなか見られないんだなと思っていたら、クジラの大サービスが始まりました。

船内に書いてあるクジラの行動パターンはすべてみられる事が出来て大満足です。
子供たちも親も大興奮でツアーを終えることが出来ました。
相手は生き物なので毎回こうはいかないと思いますが。

This was so much fun! It felt amazing! It was a coincidence that all six couples on board were honeymooners, with four Japanese couples and one foreign couple (laughs). Since we were there, we asked for some photos. They took a lot of pictures, from the moments when we were flying to the splashdown, and even the view of Waikiki from the sea (laughs). I was unsure about the height but decided on 120 meters. I felt like there wasn't much difference between 120 and 150. In the end, 120 meters was high enough, and I was very satisfied. I think I would do it again next time!

However, the car to pick us up from the hotel never arrived... I got anxious and had the hotel concierge call. In the end, the pickup arrived around the time the boat was supposed to leave... The timing was quite vague. Strangely, the return time was as scheduled, though.

これ、とても楽しかったです！めちゃくちゃ気持ちいい！日本人カップル4組と外国人カップル1組、乗ってる全員がハネムーナーという奇遇でした（笑）せっかくなので私たちは写真もお願いしました。飛んでる時もボチャンする瞬間も、海から見たワイキキの風景まで（笑）たくさん写真を撮ってくれました。高さは迷いましたが120ｍにしました。120も150もあまり変わらないような気がして。結果120mでも充分高く大満足です。次回行ってもまたすると思います！
ただ、ホテルへの迎えの車が全然来ず…不安になって、ホテルのコンシェルジュに電話してもらいました。結局迎えに来たのは船が出る時間くらいでした…。時間はかなりアバウトですね。不思議と帰りの時間は予定通りでしたけど。

Amazing!! A "must do" for any new visitor. Even my spouse who lived here before saw things that he had not seen before.

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to interact directly with dolphins. I was very moved by the feel and sounds of the dolphins. I highly recommend this tour.

イルカと直接触れ合ってみたくこのツアーを申し込みました。
イルカの感触と鳴き声とても感動しました。おすすめツアーです。

This was a Great trip. Everyone at the ranch was so nice. Our guide was awesome and took us on overgrown and harder trails. Would recommend for anyone. The ranch is beautiful.

I didn't see any whales, sea turtles, or dolphins at all. I would appreciate some further explanation regarding the inability to see whales. I believe there was only audio recording, and there were no special announcements. They were distributing tickets for reboarding the next day to those who wanted them, but I couldn't use them due to other plans. Although there is a policy that refunds are not available, I think it would be nice to have some consideration, such as a souvenir, in case we didn't see anything.

クジラもウミガメイルカももいっさい何も見れませんでした。
クジラが見れないことについて何かもう少し解説などあればと思います。
録音の音声だけで、特別なアナウンスはなかったと思います。
翌日再乗船できるチケットを希望者に配布していましたが、他の予定もあるので利用できませんでした。
返金はできないという規定ですが、見れなかった場合には記念品などの配慮があってもよいのではと思いました。

This was a tour that my parents had always wanted to go on. The underwater world was like a different realm, and it became a wonderful memory. The shuttle bus for pickup was also on time and easy to understand, which was great.

ずっと両親が行きたいと思っていたツアーです
海の中は別世界で、とても良い思い出になりました。
お迎えのシャトルバスっも時間通りでしたし、わかりやすくて
良かったです。

- First of all, on the morning of the event, a Japanese staff member made a morning call to our hotel room to inform us again about the meeting time and place, and I was pleasantly surprised by their attentive service.

- The guidance and advice during the bus ride were also excellent and showed a high level of professionalism! They provided important safety tips for being in the ocean (like avoiding contact with sea turtles due to potential fines and bacteria) and suggested not to sleep during certain hours to avoid seasickness, which was very considerate and reassuring. Announcements were made in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.

- Once we boarded the boat, the hospitality of the crew was absolutely amazing! They struck a perfect balance between giving us space and being cheerful and engaging, while also being incredibly attentive and considerate. I believe it's rare to find such high-quality service even in various customer service settings within Japan. (I somehow became a fan, and honestly, I wasn't that interested in dolphins or the ocean, but since returning home, I've been following Dolphin & You's Instagram constantly.)

- We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of spinner dolphins right away! Also, it was my first time snorkeling, but it wasn't too difficult.

- Even if you don't see dolphins, you'll definitely leave satisfied with the crew's dance performances on the boat, activities like the water trampoline and air slide, and the delicious burgers grilled right there on the spot.

- By the way, I have a terrible tendency to get seasick, so unfortunately, I couldn't stay in the water for long and spent more time on the boat, but I still had a great time. I had the burger after getting back to the hotel when it was cold, but it was still fantastic! It's one of the best burgers I've ever had in Hawaii. The buns are purple, which is surprising, but they taste great without any weirdness (laughs).

・まず、当日の朝、日本人スタッフの方がホテルの部屋に、改めて集合時間や集合場所を知らせるモーニングコールをしてくださって、丁寧な仕事に良い意味でびっくり

・移動のバスの中での案内やアドバイスもプロファッショナリティを感じる素晴らしいものでした！海の中での注意（罰金を取られるしバクテリアもいるから海亀には接触禁止、とか）や、船酔いになりやすくなるから出来れば移動中◯時〜◯時は眠らない方が良いですよ、とかも凄く丁寧だし安心感が持てます。英語と日本語両方でアナウンスがあるので英語に自信がなくても安心。

・いよいよ船に乗り込んでからのクルーの皆さんのホスピタリティが素晴らし過ぎて！ほどよく放っておいて下さって陽気に接してくださるのですが、実は気配り目配り気遣いがすごい！日本国内のあらゆる接客サービスでもこれだけのものはなかなかないと思えるほど。（なんだかファンになってしまって、正直そこまでイルカや海に興味がなかったのに、帰国してからドルフィン&ユーのインスタずっとフォローしてます）

・ハシナガイルカの群れにも運良くすぐに出会えました！また、初シュノーケリングでしたがそんなに難しくなかったです

・たとえイルカを見られなかったとしても、船上でのクルーのダンスや、水上トランポリン&エアースライダーなどのアクティビティ、その場でグリルして焼く絶品のバーガーなど、絶対満足して帰れます。

・ちなみに私はひどい「波酔い」体質で、残念ながら長く海にはいっていられず、船の上にいる時間が長かったのですが、それでも楽しめました。バーガーも船を降りてホテルに帰ってから冷めたのを頂いたのですがそれでも絶品！ハワイで食べたバーガーの中で1、2を争う美味しさです。バンズが紫色でびっくりしますがクセもなく美味しいです（笑）

The staff at the reception and the instructors were very friendly and enjoyable, and I had a great time. My son was also thrilled with his first experience. I definitely want to use this service again when we visit next time. Additionally, thank you to Jamie at the reception for all the advice regarding my son. This time, despite the short notice, you accommodated our request to change the time.

受付の方も、インストラクターの方もとても楽しく親切で、本当に楽しかったです。
息子も初めての経験で大喜びでした。次回、訪れた際にも、ぜひ、利用したいと思います。
また、受付のジェイミーさん、息子のことでも、いろいろ相談にのって頂きありがとうございました。今回は急遽、前日にも関わらず、時間変更にも応じて下さいました。

On the last morning, I went parasailing at 120 meters!! (I signed up during my stay the day before, so it's recommended for those who want to add plans at the last minute.) They pick you up directly at the hotel entrance, which is convenient. The cheerful driver was cracking jokes and saying funny phrases while driving (laughs). The morning parasailing was the best!! We signed up as a family of three, and we were able to experience flying together! (^o^) The other participants were also Japanese, so we all took photos together!! They recommended taking photos for $30, but when everyone declined, the photographer joked around (laughs). When landing, they asked if we wanted to splash into the sea, but when I said I didn't want to get too wet, they just dipped my toes lightly into the sea before landing on the boat!

最終日の朝にパラセイリングの120ｍをしました！！(前日の宿泊中に申し込みしたので、急に予定追加したい方にもオススメです)ホテル玄関に直接お迎え来てくれるので楽です。明るい運転手のおじさんで運転中、お笑い芸人の一言ネタフレーズ言ったりしてました（笑）朝のパラセイリングは最高でした！！私達は家族3人で申し込んだのですが、3人一緒に飛んで体験できました！(^o^)他の申し込みされた方も日本人でしたので、みんなで写真を取り合いしましたよ！！30＄での写真を撮るのをオススメされますが、みんな断わるとジョーダンでスネてました（笑）着地は海にドボンするか聞かれますがあまり濡れたくないと言うと足先だけ軽く海にドボンしてくれてボートに着地させてくれました！

Captain and crew were great. Equipment was well maintained. Easy to find location.
