All Reviews for Kid Friendly (Ages 5-7)

I was able to make good use of the time from 9:00 to 15:00.

The beauty of the sandbar and the fun of snorkeling were, of course, wonderful, and the cheerful and articulate staff on the cruiser kept the atmosphere lively throughout. There were customers with small children, and I thought it was really lovely to see the couple enjoying snorkeling while the staff kept the kids entertained.

During snorkeling, I even got to see sea turtles underwater, which was amazing!! ヽ（´∀｀＊）ﾉ

9:00～15:00の時間を有意義に使えました。

サンドバーの美しさやシュノーケリングの楽しさはもちろん、クルーザーの上でも愉快で滑舌のよいスタッフの方が始終盛り上げてくれていました。
小さなお子様連れのお客様がいらしたのですが、ご夫婦がシュノーケリングを楽しめるよう子供をずっと楽し気にあやしている姿を見たときに非常に素敵だなと思いました。

シュノーケリングでは海中のウミガメまでみれて、最高でした！！ヽ（´∀｀＊）ﾉ

My daughter has always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, and although it was a bit pricey, I'm really glad we participated because she was so happy‼︎

Not only did we get to interact with dolphins, but we also had the chance to meet seals and many birds, making it a wonderful experience☆

The timing was just right too^_^

娘がイルカと一緒に泳ぐのが夢で、ちょっと高くて迷いましたが、娘がとても喜んでいたので、参加して本当に良かったです‼︎

イルカだけでなく、アシカやたくさんの鳥たちとも触れ合うことが出来て、とてもいい経験になりました☆

時間もちょうどよかったです^_^

There are many attractions like slides, an athletic course, a wave pool, and a lazy river, and my sixth-grade daughter and third-grade son really enjoyed themselves!

The shuttle service timing was just right! I definitely want to go again!

たくさんの滑り台やアスレチック、波のでるプール、流れるプールなど、たくさんのアトラクションがあり、６年生の娘と３年生の息子もとても楽しんでいました^_^

送迎の時間もちょうど良かったです！
ぜひまた、行きたいです☆

The breakfast was decent, but I was very moved to see the whales. There were many announcements in English on the ship, but everyone moved in the direction of the whales, so I didn't have any particular difficulties.

朝食はそれなりですが、くじらを見られてとても感動しました。
船内の案内は英語が多いですが、くじらのいる方向にみなさん動くので、特に不自由ありませんでした

This is by far one of the best thing s I did in Hawaii, and the tour was well planned, on time. Our driver was amazing!! Such a brilliant day!

We saw a family of whales on our trip! It was a good day out although I think it would be better to see them on another island....

On the last day of our first trip to Hawaii, my wife, who has a fear of heights, wanted to try this, so we ordered it. The staff were very good and we had a great time. I definitely want to challenge myself to 150 meters next time. The driver who picked us up was funny.

はじめてのハワイ旅行最終日前日に高所恐怖症の嫁がやりたいとの事で注文しました
とても良いスタッフの人達で楽しかったです
ぜひまた今度は150mにチャレンジしてみたいです
送迎の運転手のおじさんが面白かったです

I used to scoff at parasailing, but I listened to my wife's wish to try it and took on the challenge for the first time! It was easier than I thought, and once I was up there, I could enjoy a surprisingly peaceful moment with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the blue ocean all to myself. It was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! But if it were a bit cheaper, I would do it twice a day!

パラセーリングなんて？！ってバカにしていたけどどうしてもやりたいと言う妻の希望をきいて初チャレンジ！思ったより簡単で、いざ上に上がってみればそこからはダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチと青い海を独り占め出来る驚くほど静かひととき。最高！是非またやりたい！けどもうちょい安ければ１日２回でもやるんだけどなあ。

My first sandbar!
To be honest, the weather wasn't great and it wasn't in the best condition, but the boat was beautiful, the guide was wonderful, and we got to see sea turtles and manta rays, which really lifted my spirits!
The sandbar was absolutely amazing!!!
When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to come back here!

初めてのサンドバー！
正直天気が悪く最高の状態ではなかったけど、船はキレイ・ガイドさんも素敵・ウミガメ・マンタも見れこれだけで気分は上々！
サンドバーはとにかく素晴らしかった!!!
再度ハワイに行った時も必ずここにはきたいですね！

We watched a Japanese video at the shop beforehand and then headed to the beach. It was quite tiring, but since it was a longboard, I managed to stand up and ride the waves properly. Everyone was able to ride the waves. Paddling is extremely exhausting. They lend you rash guards and boots. They also burn the images taken at the shop onto a CD and sell them. If you like them and want to buy, it's a good idea to bring some money.

事前にお店で日本語のビデオを見て、ビーチへ。
結構疲れますが、ロングボードなので何とか立てて、ちゃんと波にも乗れました。
全員がちゃんと波に乗ってました。
パドリングが滅茶滅茶疲れます。
ラッシュガードとブーツは貸してくれます。
お店で写した画像をCDに焼いて売ってくれます。気に入って購入する場合もあるので、お金を持って行った方が良いです。

Well needless to say this was a great experience, however id like to take the time to brag personally on our girl...she not only waited for our flight to come in which was over 45 min late coming in. ..but she was soooo sweet and just very helpful in getting us to our shuttle...just a great experience all around!

We got great enjoyment from para sailing.
Crew was absolutely splendid. Instructions
were clear and easy to understand.

It was amazing! The ocean was beautiful, and I really had a great time!! I want to go back and jump again when I visit Hawaii!

さいこうでしたぁー！
海も綺麗だし本当に楽しかったです！！
ハワイに行ったらまた飛びたいとおもいます！

In the early morning, still feeling sleepy, the bus from Dolphin University came to pick us up at the hotel. Once we got on the bus, the morning assembly began, and I felt a sense of focus.

When we arrived at the port, dawn was breaking. I was anxious before departure, but it was a relief to be able to rent a wetsuit. We prayed before setting off, and then we were on our way.

We headed towards the area where the dolphins were, and before long, we saw a large group of dolphins. My excitement grew, and I jumped into the sea. There were so many dolphins around! There were also other groups of dolphins. Even from a distance, we spotted a whale swimming! I was overwhelmed to see two sea turtles swimming as well!

On the way back, our guide, Julie, said, "I hope you don't forget to smile when you return to reality." Her words really touched me. It might be difficult, but I want to keep that in mind!

早朝、眠気が残っている中、イルカ大学のバスが
ホテルにお迎えに。バスに乗り込むと朝礼が
始まり気が引き締まります。
港に到着すると夜が開けてきて
出発前は不安だったけどウェットスーツを
レンタルできて助かりました。
出港前にお祈りをしていざ出発。
イルカのいる場所に向かうのですが
しばらくするとイルカの群れがたくさんいます。
気持ちが高まり海に飛び込みます。
するとたくさんのイルカの群れがいました。
他のイルカの群れもいます。
さらに遠くからなんとクジラが泳いでいました！
ウミガメも2匹泳いでて感無量です！

帰りに担当のジュリさんが
「帰国して現実に戻っても笑顔を忘れないでほしいの。」
という言葉にぐっときました(;_;)
難しい事かも知れないけど
そう出来るように心がけたいと思います！

I attended with my mother in her 70s (who speaks almost no English). There was a guide assigned to our large hotel shuttle bus, and even with few Japanese people around, they made the journey comfortable and checked on us at the venue, which was very reassuring. At the show venue, the robust performers guided us with smiles, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

We were seated in the center front row, and across from us was a pair of older white individuals who seemed to be a mother and son, so it was easy to chat and we felt relaxed. There were also younger white groups in the back who were lively, but for us, being small, the Royal Plan was great as we had a clear view of the stage.

As soon as we were seated, we were hit by a heavy rain for about ten minutes. We put on the raincoats provided on the table to take cover, and when we returned to our seats, the salad and drinks that had already been served were soaked. The main dish was protected with a lid, so we managed to eat it. After the first few songs of the show (before the real dancing began), they came to clear our plates while we were still eating, so I thought it wise to finish quickly.

The main male performer was truly entertaining, very skilled at engaging the audience and bringing people on stage, far surpassing typical comedians. His interactions with the lively middle-aged Japanese group in the audience were particularly exquisite, making me feel a bit embarrassed to be Japanese, but he managed to involve the entire venue in laughter.

On the other hand, he also shared touching stories about family and couples' love, making it a heartwarming show. At the end, we all held hands with the cool performers and other guests, singing and dancing together, creating a sense of full participation.

My mother understood most of the meaning and laughed along with everyone at the same timing, expressing her joy and desire to come again. I would definitely like to participate again if the opportunity arises! I would be happy to know the name of the main performer!

　70代の母（英語はほぼ不可）と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
　席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
　着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると（本格的な踊りが始まる前に）、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
　メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
　最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
　母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
　また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！
　あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです！

Helpful driver(young man but forgot name..sorry). Mosquito repellent and walking stick. Thought about taking bus, but the last stop is a bit of a distance from trailhead. This shuttle expedites the process. Picked up and dropped off at Waikiki hotel. If you have limited time on the island I would definitely recommend this tour. The hike itself is not overly demanding in dry conditions. Wife and I are in 50's and in so-so condition. I thought this was easier than Diamond Head hike, which wasn't difficult either. Probably an entirely different story if wet and rainy. Get off the beach and experience another aspect of the island. Enjoyed it.

The pickup location at the place we were staying was under construction, so we had to meet at the neighboring hotel, which was quite nerve-wracking. I felt relieved when the bus arrived, but one group was missing... The guide called out for them, but they weren't there, so we left. Even while driving, they were looking for them along the road. This really boosted my impression of the service.

As for the dolphins, they weren't swimming right next to us, but there were plenty swimming at our feet, and they swam alongside the boat while we were moving, which was incredibly exciting.

It was very disappointing not to encounter a honu. The snorkeling was cloudy, and it was different from what I had imagined. The weather is something you can't help, though.

But I was very satisfied. Nothing was as delicious as the malasadas on the boat!

泊まっていた場所のピックアップ場所が工事中で、隣のホテルで待ち合わせでかなりドキドキしました。バスが来たときにほっとしましたが、もう一組がいない・・・ガイドさんが声をかけてもいないので出発してしまったのですが、走っている最中も道路を見ながらいないか探されていました。ここで高感度があがりました。
肝心のイルカですが、近くで泳ぐ！！というわけではないのですが、足元でいっぱいのイルカが泳ぎ、船で走行中も並走して泳いだりしてもう大興奮でした。
ホヌに遭遇できなかったのはとても残念です。シュノーケル中も曇っていて、想像していたシュノーケルの感じとは異なりました。天気は仕方のないことですね。
でも大満足です。船上のマラサダほど美味しかったものはないです！！

We did the early excursion and were happy we did as our group only had 9 people and I felt we were able to see more activity. We rented wet suits since the water was just a bit cooler than our liking, and they worked great. The views on the way to the snorkeling spot are breathtaking as you see the sunrise behind a mountain range. We saw several whales and could hear their chatter in the water, an indescribable experience. We snorkeled with tropical fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. Then, we enjoyed a delicious lunch. Only wish we had more time.

The crew and shuttle driver were great! They even returned our beach towels, which we forgot at Spinner's. This excursion definitely under promised and over delivered.

We paid $50-$60 for the professional photographs, which was well worth it to us as it was impossible to capture everything. Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks!

I have attended many Luaus. This was the best by far. The pre entertainment, the show, the food and the staff were fabulous. Will definitely go again. A must - attend event.

Had a great time!! We were lucky to have lots of whale sightings, one even came up close to the ship!!

Amazing crew and an amazing time! Would definitely suggest to anyone that wants to try parasailing!

Mike was brilliant, guiding us safely down the mountain on the bikes and then staying in the cool ocean until all of us were out of the water and finished snorkelling. Would happily recommend this activty to family and friends. Next time we will also do the hike.

We requested parasailing, which my husband wanted to do on our honeymoon. A wild guy came to pick us up, and we were all excited to join among the international crowd! The crew was cheerful, and we soared high, experiencing the best views! I forgot to say "drive please" and ended up in the sea, but it was incredibly fun! I want to participate again!

ハネムーンで旦那さんのやりたかったパラセーリングをお願いしました。pick upからワイルドなおじさんが来られ、みんな海外の人の中でわくわく参加しました！クルーの方も陽気で、たかーく上がり最高の絶景を感じれました！ドライプリーズと言い忘れ海に浸かったりしたけど最高に楽しかったです！また参加したいです‼︎

Mike, our tour guide was very informative and made the trip exciting for us.

My husband and I did not finish all three activities due to too much sun exposure. It was exhausting. We did not go snorkeling, however, the hike was interesting (I'm not an outdoorsy person) and the downhill bike was the our personal favorite. Next time, we will do it again, but I can go without the hike.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, GREAT FOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SHOW. THE PRICE WAS ALSO VERY GOOD WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE SHOW UP CLOSE. WOULD BOOK THRU VELTRA AGAIN.

This was my first trip to Hawaii. While searching for activities that I could enjoy with my 6th-grade daughter, I came across this tour. When I told my daughter about it, she immediately responded, "I want to go!" It's not every day you get a chance to meet wild dolphins.

I had some hesitation, wondering if I could wake up at 5 AM with the jet lag, if I would be okay since I'm not a strong swimmer, and if I might get seasick. I was filled with more anxiety than excitement. After much deliberation, I decided to go for it and signed up.

On the day of the tour, I was so excited that I woke up earlier than planned. I took my motion sickness medication and boarded the boat. After a few minutes, I heard the staff say that dolphins were nearby, and one by one, we jumped into the sea.

Honestly, it was a bit scary at first. I struggled to put my face in the water. I desperately searched for dolphins. Then, when I looked down… there they were right below me!! A pod of dolphins! Before I knew it, I was diving down and taking pictures, completely captivated. It was an emotional experience. My daughter seemed to see them well too. Although I joined the tour for her sake, I might have enjoyed it even more (laughs). After that, we also got to see a honu (sea turtle). It was amazing to see it swimming so close!

It was a dreamlike experience that went by in an instant. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them. I've been to various places, but this became my best memory in Hawaii. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.

As many have mentioned, I think it's a good idea for those who are worried to take motion sickness medication. Thank you very much.

初めてのハワイ旅行。小学6年生の娘と楽しめるアクティビティはないかと色々探していたところ、このツアーが目にとまりました。娘に話した所、「行きたい！」と即答。野生のイルカに会えるツアーなんてなかなかありません。
私も行きたいなと思いながらも迷いがありました。時差ボケもあるのに朝5時に起きられるのか。あまり泳ぎが得意ではないのに大丈夫か。船酔いするんじゃないか。期待以上に不安もイッパイ。迷いに迷って思いきって申し込みました。
当日は楽しみで予定より早く起きてしまいました。酔いどめもしっかり飲んで船に乗り込むこと数十分。
イルカがいるというスタッフの方の声を聞いて、次々と海に飛び込みます。
正直ちょっと怖かった。最初はなかなか顔もつけられなくて。必死でイルカを探します。そして、ふと下をみると…真下にいました！！イルカの群れが！気がつくと夢中で潜って写真をとっていました。感動でした。娘もしっかり見れたようです。娘のために参加したツアーでしたが、私のほうが楽しんでいたかも(笑)。そのあとホヌもみることができました。本当にすぐそばで泳いでいてびっくり！！
あっという間の夢のような時間でした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで色々お話できて楽しかったです。
色々な所に行きましたが、ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
またハワイに行く機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。
みなさんかいてありますが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I was thrilled to experience it for the first time! It was a wonderful night where I could really see the difference in the quality of the show. As expected, it was top-notch... I've seen various shows, so I could tell right away (*^-^*). I will definitely come back again!

一度体験してみたかったので感激しました！ショーの格の違いが良く解る素敵な夜でした。
さすがに一流ですね…いろんなショーを見たので直ぐわかりました(*^-^*)
またリピします

Awesome Boat, great crew, good food, spent a lot of time watching whales.

I participated in the activity where you can touch and kiss dolphins. My English conversation level isn't very high, and my mother and children can't speak at all. However, we managed to complete it without any issues. There was only one other group of Japanese people with us; everyone else came from various places. I bought a photo as a souvenir to take home♪

イルカにタッチ&ｷｽのアクティビティに参加しました。
私の英会話レベルは高い方ではないし、母と子どもたちは全く話せません。ですが、難なく終えれました。
日本人は私たちと他一組だけで、あとはみなさんｱﾁｺﾁから来た方々でした。記念に写真を買って帰りました♪

I stayed at the Sheraton in Waikiki for 5 nights and 7 days. I paid an additional fee for the convenience of being transported to the hotel by a large bus. It was very convenient since using public transportation with children is quite difficult, and I didn't rent a car. I was also worried about how much a taxi would cost and whether taxis are safe, even in Hawaii.

I went with my two elementary school-aged sons, my mother in her 50s, and myself, a group of four. There were many slides and a pool with waves, as well as a pool suitable for small children. The kids seemed to have a great time.

There is a bag check, and outside food is not allowed. The locker usage fee is around $13 for a smaller one and about $18 for a larger one, which seemed a bit expensive. We ate hot dogs, cheeseburgers, chicken, and fries. The weather was sunny, and we had a lot of fun! Also, there were lifeguards present, so it felt safe.

5泊7日でﾜｲｷｷのｼｪﾗﾄﾝに宿泊。
表示の追加料金を払いましたが、大型バスでホテルに送迎してくれたので、とても便利でした。
子連れではなかなか交通機関を使った移動は難しいし、ﾚﾝﾀｶｰも借りてないし、タクシーだといくらかかるか、ハワイといえどもタクシーじたいが安全なのか不安なので。
小学生の息子2人、50代の母と私の4人で行きました。
たくさんのｽﾗｲﾀﾞｰや波がでてくるプール。小さな子でも遊べるようなプールもありました。
子どもたちはとにかく楽しそうでした。
バッグの持ち込み検査があるのと、食べ物は持ち込み不可。ロッカー使用料は暗証番号で何度も開閉できるけど、13ドルぐらいの小さめと18ドルぐらいのがあり高いな、、といった印象。
食べ物はホットドッグ、チーズバーガー、チキン、ポテトなどを食べました。
晴天だったし、楽しかったです！あと監視員みたいな人がちゃんといるので、安全です♪
