First of all, for those going in March, it can get really cold when the wind blows, so I definitely recommend bringing hotel towels. As someone from a competitive swimming background, I regret only bringing a chamois (laughs).
Also, lunch consists of really basic options like a single slice of pizza or a hot dog, which might not be enough for adults. However, you're only allowed to bring one unopened bottle of water into the park, so there's not much you can do about that. You don't have to rent a cabana since there are free shaded chair areas available, so I think it's fine to skip that option. But if you're not going right when the park opens, it might be safer to rent one. Most of these tours include transportation and usually arrive before the park opens, so you can generally secure a spot anyway, so I guess there's not much to worry about (laughs).
Also, not all attractions are open, so be aware of that. Flip-flops are recommended over water shoes. (However, since you'll be going barefoot on the attractions, if you're worried about walking on hot surfaces, aqua shoes are a good idea.)
Additionally, each attraction has height restrictions, and usually, they don't measure you, but sometimes there are staff members (those in polo shirts, beige shorts, and holding walkie-talkies) at the attractions who will measure your height very strictly, and if you're even a little short, they'll make you get off (laughs). When I went with my first-grade daughter, the first time we rode was with a part-time worker who didn't measure her height at all, but the second time, we were caught by that staff member who said she was a bit too short and made her get off. Even when I explained it was our second time, it didn't help.
There is a small pool for little kids, but even though it says "Not Ice," it's still pretty cold (laughs). There’s also a mini water slide, but you basically have to go down alone, so for kids who can't slide by themselves, it might just be cold for them. The prices are not cheap either, so I probably wouldn't go again. There are coin lockers available for free access, but they cost between $15 and $20, and there are showers, but they only have cold water. You might as well think that there are no hot showers anywhere in Hawaii. Given that, I think the pool might be a bit harsh for small children.
まず、3月に行く方は風が吹くとめちゃ寒いため、必ずホテルのタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。競泳出身者なので、セームのみ持っていったことに後悔(笑)
また、昼食は本当に簡易的なピザ1ピースかホットドッグのため、大人は物足りないかも。ただ、園内への持ち込みは、未開封の水1本なので仕方ないかな。ガバナは借りなくても無料の日陰付きのチェアエリアに行けるので選択しなくても良いと思います。ただ、オープンと同時に行く人で無いなら借りておいた方が無難。でも、大抵こういったツアーは送迎付きでオープン前には現地についているので、大抵は場所取り出来るのでやっぱり心配ないかな(笑)また、アトラクションは全てやっているわけではないので注意。マリンシューズよりもビーサンの方がおすすめ。(でも、裸足でアトラクションには乗るので、歩く場所が裸足で暑くて心配な方はアクアシューズがおすすめ。)
あとは、それぞれのアトラクションには身長制限があって、大抵は測られないで行けるんだけど、たまに本部の人?(ポロシャツ着て、ベージュの短パン履いてトランシーバー持っている人)がアトラクションに居ると、めっちゃしっかり身長測られて少しでも足りないと容赦なく降ろされます(笑)小1娘と乗ったときも、一回目はバイトのお兄ちゃんだったからか何も身長測られずすんなり乗れたのに、2回目はその人に捕まって少し身長が足りないからと降ろされた。2回目だと言うことを伝えても無理でした。
後は、小さい子には小さい子用のプールがあるけど、「Not Ice」って書いてあるけど普通に寒い(笑)また、ミニウォータースライダーがあるけど、基本的には1人で滑らないといけないから、逆に1人で滑れない子はただただ寒いだけかも。値段も決して安くないし、2回目はないかな。コインロッカーはあって出し入れ自由だけど15ドル~20ドルが必要なのと、シャワーはあるけど水のみです。むしろ、ハワイで温水シャワーなんてどこも無いと思った方が良いかも。そうなると、やはり小さい子には酷なプールかなと思います。

It was a light rainy day, but we had a great time! We enjoyed driving while taking in the surrounding scenery and animals, and we were able to stop at various points to take memorable photos. You can drive with a valid driver's license, and up to two people can drive, but the roads are quite steep and you go at a considerable speed, so I think it's not suitable for inexperienced drivers. Your face and clothes will get muddy, so wearing a mask and clothes you don't mind getting dirty is a good idea!
当日小雨日和でしたが充分楽しめました!
周辺の風景や動物たちを観ながらの走行や要所要所で止まって記念撮影などあとになって思い出に残る写真もたくさん撮れました!運転は免許証持ってれば二人まで運転できますが、険しい道を体感的には結構な速度で走り抜くので、ペーパードライバーは無理だと思います。顔や服は泥まみれになるので、マスクとか汚れてもいい服装が良いかと!

We participated as a family of five in a buggy, with my husband driving. Our kids, a 12-year-old boy, a 10-year-old girl, and an 8-year-old girl, were thrilled to see the filming locations from the Jurassic Park series, which they love. We were given helmets and goggles, so our eyes stayed clean, but afterward, our mouths were covered in dirt (laughs). The kids who had McDonald's on their faces managed to avoid getting dirty.
Since there were many Japanese people upon arrival, it was helpful that the Japanese staff handled the check-in for all the Japanese guests in advance. They also provided explanations for all the activities in Japanese. After arriving, we took about 30 minutes to relax before heading to the activity venue. Our activity ended at the same time as the bus departure, so we were in a bit of a rush without changing clothes, but it wasn't a problem since we didn't get too dirty (my husband drove carefully to avoid splashing in puddles). If we had been dirtier, we might have hesitated to get on the bus.
Our activity started at 10:45 and ended at 12:45, and we left without buying souvenirs or exploring. The bus departure time will be communicated on-site. Since we didn't plan to buy souvenirs and only intended to participate in the experience, it worked out well. However, for those who want to take their time exploring or buying souvenirs, I recommend arriving earlier than 10:45 or considering an afternoon visit.
一台のバギーに家族5人で乗り、主人が運転で参加しました。(子供は12男児、10女児、8女児)ジュラッシックパークシリーズの映画が大好きな子供達は、各ロケ地を見て喜んでいました。ヘルメットとゴーグルを渡されるので、目の周りは汚れませんが、終わった後、口周りが真っ黒になってました(笑)砂が口に入るので、マックをつけた子供は汚れを回避できていました。スケジュールでは、到着時日本人が多いので、まとめて日本人のスタッフさんが受付等を日本人客みんなの分を前もってしてくれていたので助かりました。また各アクティビティ場所も全て日本語で説明してくれました。到着後は30分ほどゆっくりしてアクティビティの会場に行きました。私達は、アクティビティ終了時間と帰りのバス集合時間が同じだったので、帰りは着替えもせずバタバタでしたが、そこまで汚れなかったので問題なかったです。(水たまりなどを、跳ねないように主人に運転してもらいました)汚れた状態だったら、バスに乗るのは躊躇するかもです。私達のアクティビティ開始時間は10時45で、12時45分終了でした、お土産等も買わず散策もせずに帰りました。帰りのバス集合時間は現地で教えられます。特にお土産購入予定も無く、体験のみでの参加しか考えてなかったので良かったのですが、ゆっくりと散策したい人やお土産を買いたい人は10時45分ではなく時間を早めるか、または午後からなどをお勧めします。

I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.
The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.
I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.
バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。

展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。

We participated as a family. There were no Japanese people, and everything was in English. I stumbled a bit there. They were asking various questions to the customers, like "Has anyone done snorkeling before?" but I couldn't quite understand. In the end, another customer helped me with putting on the wetsuit (in English). Still, there were many Japanese families. When we got off the boat into the sea, there was a boy who panicked because he couldn't touch the bottom (of course, he was wearing a life jacket). The crew was throwing floatation devices from the boat and telling him to use them, but it didn't get through. When I asked in Japanese, "Do you want to use it?" he nodded and seemed to calm down. I think it's fine if you have no problem with everything being in English, but sometimes there are troubles...
Then there was seasickness! A few people were really groggy... some were lying down clutching bags, and a group of girls who were so excited at first looked completely exhausted. It was sad to see. My child is also prone to motion sickness, so I gave them anti-nausea candy twice, once before leaving Waikiki and once when boarding the boat, which helped. Anti-nausea measures are essential! Also, bring a towel. It gets cold when you come out of the sea! The wind was strong (while the boat was moving), and the wet body lost heat.
Finally, the kids were thrilled to get tattoo stickers, saying it felt "local"!
I saw a comment saying "no cash needed," so I didn't bring any, but I wish I had. It's a shame I couldn't give a tip to Tittha, who took great care of us. Thank you, Tittha!!

The parasailing I participated in previously in Hawaii took a long time as we had to take a taxi to a distant marina, board a boat, wait on a float, and then switch to the parasailing boat. However, here you can walk to the marina next to the Hilton and board the boat from there, which saves time. The staff was friendly. The wind was strong, the boat was very rocky, and there was some thrilling swaying during the parasailing. I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.
以前ハワイで参加したパラセイリングはタクシーで遠くのマリーナまで行って、そこでボートに乗り、その先でまたフロートで待たされ、パラセイリング用のボートに乗り換えて…と時間がかかりましたが、ここはヒルトンの横のマリーナまで歩いて行けばそこからボートに乗るので無駄なく時間使えます。
親切なスタッフでした。

You can take a two-hour tour around Kualoa Ranch in a five-seater vehicle called the Raptor. At each stop, you can switch drivers. Driving for two hours is quite hard, so it was a good decision to switch. The magnificent scenery is wonderful, and I want the driver to enjoy it too. There’s plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience. Your upper body will get quite dirty, so it's best to wear a dark-colored T-shirt or something that you don’t mind getting dirty. It’s also good to have a change of clothes and a towel to wash your face. You can have lunch at the ranch, and the burgers are delicious. I had a fulfilling day and am really satisfied!
ラプターという5人乗りの自動車でクアロアランチ内をぐるりと2時間かけて周ります。それぞれポイントで止まる度に運転手は交替できます。2時間の運転はまぁまぁハードなので交替して正解でした。壮大な景色が素晴らしいので、運転手も見て欲しい。時間がたっぷりあって、まだある!?というほど堪能できます。靴より上半身が真っ黒になるので、Tシャツなどは色が暗いもの、汚れてもいいものがベストです。着替えや顔を洗うタオルもあるといいです。ランチ内で昼ごはんも食べられてバーガーなど美味しいです。充実した1日が過ごせて本当に満足です!

The umbrellas near the changing room are free, and they provide good shade, so I recommend them. There are paid ones further in, but they let in sunlight, and the restrooms are quite a distance away, so the free ones are more than enough!
The attractions are not too scary, and even elementary school kids can enjoy them. The area is not as large as I expected, making it easy to navigate. It was not crowded, so we were able to ride multiple times, and the kids seemed to be having a great time going around in groups.
更衣室付近のパラソルは無料で日差しも入って来なかったしオススメ。奥に有料もあるが日差しも入ってくるしトイレも色々と距離があったし、無料で十分!

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

The wind was strong that day, and the eastern side of Oahu in winter was particularly rough. A bit disappointing!
I think winter is a good time for a helicopter tour around Honolulu.
Another disappointment was the prohibition on taking photos in front of the helicopter before departure, and even after returning. It seems they want to sell photos taken by the helicopter company.
In the past (with a different helicopter company), I was able to take pictures in front of the helicopter with my own camera, and the pilot was happy to pose for the camera. I understand it's a business, but I wish they would allow us to take at least this kind of photo.

I tried surfing for the first time this time. I'm almost 50 years old and usually don't exercise much, so I was worried, but I chose a group lesson. First, we watched a video with various precautions at the shop. Then we walked to the beach, where I practiced the basic movements repeatedly with the instructor, Mr. Yamazaki. During about an hour, I was able to ride the waves 7 to 8 times while learning the tips and timing for paddling. At first, my waist was too high, and I couldn't ride the waves for long, but I received advice to stand up slowly without rushing, which allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. I requested a drone video and photos during check-in (for $65 plus tax), and I was quite satisfied with the content, which was also well-received by my family.

Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.

I was worried about the lack of transportation, but it wasn't a problem. It took about 15 minutes by taxi from our hotel (Waikiki) to get there. On the way back, we walked to the nearby Ward Center to do some shopping, played at the arcade in the Ward Entertainment Center, and also stopped by the Whole Foods Market next door. I called Hanataxi (they speak Japanese) to pick us up from Whole Foods and take us back to the hotel.

帰りはすぐ近くにあるワードセンターに徒歩で行き買い物をして、ワードエンターテイメントセンターのゲームセンターで遊び、隣にあるホールフーズマーケットにも寄りました。ハナタクシー(日本語でok)に電話してホールフーズに来てもらいホテルに戻りました。
思い切って参加して本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました

It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.
まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. It was truly wonderful to see the spouts multiple times. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。何度も潮吹きなどが見れて本当に良かったですね。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

Since it was a tour just for transportation, I participated in a tour without Japanese language support. There were no issues as a result. I was able to return around noon, so I had a meaningful day!
送迎だけのツアーなので日本語なしのツアーに参加しました。結果問題なしです。
昼ぐらいには帰ってこれますので一日有意義に過ごせました!

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.
On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.
The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

Although it was from a distance, I was really satisfied to see a whale for the first time.
There were several whale watching boats, but I think it was a good choice to select the Star of Honolulu, as the smaller boats tend to sway quite a bit.
遠目ではありましたが初めてクジラを見れてすごく満足でした
数隻ホエールウォッチングの船がありましたが小さい船は結構揺れるのでスターオブホノルル号を選択して良かったと思いました。

We participated as a family of four, including our 7-year-old and 12-year-old children. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but before we even left the harbor, the other passengers started getting seasick one after another. It turned into a situation where some passengers were vomiting inside the boat due to motion sickness. The staff tried their best to lift the mood, but the energy among the other members plummeted, and eventually, the kids also started feeling queasy and expressed a desire to go home early. Fortunately, we managed to get some air while returning to port. It might not be advisable to do this on days with strong swells.
7歳と12歳の子供含めて家族4人で参加しました。事前に酔い止めを服用しての参加でしたが、港を出て沖に出る前に同乗していた方々が次々に酔ってしまい、同乗者達が波酔いで船内で吐いたりしてるなかでの催行となりました。スタッフたちはなんとか盛り上げようとしてくれましたが、他のメンバーはテンションがダダ下がり、次第に子供達ももらい酔いして早く帰りたいと言い出すほどでした。帰港しながらなんとか空に上がる事ができたのが不幸中の幸いでした。余りうねりが強い日にやるものではないかもしれません。

I was able to snorkel while holding the hands of my inexperienced children, which made the parents feel at ease.
Even in the shallow waters, we were able to see many vibrant fish and had a wonderful time!
There was a seal lounging on the beach, which seemed to be quite a rare sight, so we were lucky!
The guiding couple was very friendly, taking photos for us and providing detailed explanations, which was great.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to request their services once more.
不慣れな子供達の手を引きながらシュノーケルしていただいたので、親も安心しました。
浅瀬でも、たくさんの鮮やかな魚が見られてとても良い時間が過ごせました!
砂浜にアザラシが寝そべっていて、かなりレアケースだったみたいでラッキーでした!
ガイドの夫妻は、とても気さくな方で、写真を撮ってくださったり、細やかな説明などもしていただき良かったです。
次
ハワイに行くことがあれば、またお願いしたいです。

This tour was absolutely amazing and so fun. Corey was one of my guides and he was absolutely fantastic. Whoever the girl was that was leading us with him in the back of the group on 3/24/23 at 2:45pm was very stale and honestly seemed like she’d rather be doing something else. She wasn’t very exciting but Corey was!
