All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I was very satisfied! First, they gave us a wake-up call at 5 AM, which was kind of them. Since it was cold, they recommended renting a jacket and mentioned to bring the rental fee if we decided to use it. The pickup was at 5:55 AM from a location close to the hotel we stayed at. Bright and cheerful staff welcomed us, which was a relief. On the bus, they explained what was to come, and after arriving, we had a bathroom break because the restrooms on the boat were quite limited. Soon after, we boarded the boat, and the staff introduced themselves. Everyone was cheerful and made us feel excited. We prayed on the boat and threw flowers into the sea.

Once we reached the area where we could see dolphins, everyone jumped into the water, and after three attempts, we finally spotted a pod of dolphins in the distance! They kept getting closer, and there were more than ten of them! They swam right beneath us! Although we couldn't touch them, I was thrilled to see dolphins up close, something I never expected! After swimming with the dolphins, we had free time to enjoy snorkeling or slide down the slide they provided. After that, we had cheeseburgers, potato chips, and cold pineapple, which made me very happy. The staff danced the hula, enhancing the Hawaiian atmosphere, and it was a moment when I truly felt the essence of Hawaii. I would love to go again. The group photo at the end was a luxurious touch. Mahalo♪

満足でした！まず朝5時にモーニングコールをくださいました。親切です。寒いのでジャケットレンタルをオススメされ、もし使用する場合はレンタル料金を持ってきてくださいとのことでした。朝の5:55にわたし達が宿泊したホテルから近い場所でのピックアップです。明るい元気なお姉さん達がまず出迎えてくれ、ホッとしました。バスの中ではこれからの説明などをしてくれ、到着後は船のお手洗いは大変とのことでお手洗いタイムがありました。その後すぐに船にのり、スタッフさんの自己紹介。皆さん明るくてわくわく気分にしてくれます。船の上でおいのりをして海に花を投げました。
イルカが見える場所についてから、みんな一斉に海に飛び込むこと3回目でようやくいるかの群れを遠くに発見！！と思ったらどんどん近づいてきて、
10匹以上はいました！そしてなんと私たちの真下を悠々と泳いでます！触れる距離ではありませんでしたが、イルカをこんなに間近で見ることが出来るだなんて思ってもなかったので興奮してしまいました！イルカと泳いだ後は各自自由にシュノーケルを
楽しんだり、用意してくれた滑り台を滑ったりなどなど。その後はチーズバーガーを食べ、ポテトチップスを食べ、冷たいパインを食べて幸せでした。スタッフさんたちがフラダンスを踊って、ハワイ気分をもっと高めてくれたので、ハワイの実感が湧いた瞬間でした。またいきたいと思います。最後のグループごとで写真撮影も贅沢でした。mahalo♪

This is my second time participating in a wild dolphin snorkeling tour (^O^)
It was my first time with this tour company!
In a word, it was very fulfilling.
Not only did we swim with wild dolphins, but there were also many entertaining performances on the boat that kept us laughing the whole time (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

We joined the morning tour!
The meeting time was early at 6 AM, but it was reassuring!
First, we received a morning call, which was a nice touch d(ﾟ∀ﾟd)!
And since it was in perfect Japanese, there was nothing to worry about!
We took a bus for about 45 minutes to our destination ʕ•̫͡•ʔ.
Then we headed to the dolphins' habitat, which took a bit of time ( .. ).
However, the content was packed with activities that kept us entertained ٩( 'ω' )و!
We sang songs together while offering flowers and praying,
and there were explanations on the bus to confirm safety precautions.
Then we started snorkeling with the wild dolphins (^O^).
A dedicated photographer took lots of wonderful pictures for us!
We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn’t request their service,
but it seems you can get a USB with about 300 photos for $55 if paid in advance, or $60 if ordered later (^^).
After seeing the dolphins, we went snorkeling, and then there were boats and a slide for us to enjoy in the sea (*´罒`*).
We even got to eat hamburgers (♡´艸`).
And on top of that, they performed a hula dance for us!
It was a fun tour filled with laughter from start to finish ( ¨̮ ).
At the end, we took a group photo (^O^).
They send the pictures to your phone, which is a nice service!
If I go snorkeling with dolphins again, I will definitely choose this tour ( ¨̮ ).
*As a note, it can be cold on the boat and in the bus, so be sure to prepare a bath towel and a jacket!
Also, if you get motion sickness, it can ruin everything, so be sure to take motion sickness medication!!

Enjoyed the cruise! Although short, it was delicious, all you can eat crab legs, and there is some fun entertainment at the end! Fun times!

I checked the low tide times and participated in a tour with my parents and my husband that included a BBQ lunch. My brother-in-law and his wife, who went with a different tour company the day before, mentioned that the water level was up to their thighs, so I was a bit anxious about what to expect. However, on the day of our tour, the water level was only up to our shins, so it was fine.

The sandbar was even more beautiful than in the photos, and as soon as we arrived, my dad, who was really excited, jumped right in (laughs). My mom, who had said she didn't want to get in the water, ended up swimming before we knew it (laughs). It was that beautiful!

After playing a lot, I can confirm what everyone else has said: the hamburgers were really delicious. Be careful when eating outside if it's windy; things can fly away. We were also able to see many sea turtles from the boat, which was very satisfying. The directions like "12 o'clock" and "9 o'clock" were easy to understand.

All the staff were very kind, and I truly felt like a child playing all day. We took a lot of family photos, making it the best way to show appreciation to my parents. Thank you very much!

However, it can get cold on the way back, both on the boat and the bus, so it's better to have a thick jacket. I brought a light hoodie, but it was still cold. Because the wind was strong and the sea was murky, we didn't see many fish, so I would like to participate again.

干潮時間を調べ、BBQランチがついたツアーに私の両親と主人と４人で参加しました。
前日違うツアー会社で行ったと行っていた義理兄夫婦は太ももぐらいまで水位があったそうなので、どうなるかなーと不安でしたが、当日は膝下ぐらいの水位で大丈夫でした。
サンドバーが写真でみるより綺麗で着いた瞬間、テンション上がった父が飛び込んでました（笑）海には入りたくないと言っていた母もいつの間にか泳いでいました（笑）
それぐらいキレイでした♡
たくさん遊んで疲れたからなのか、皆さんが書いている通り、ハンバーガーが本当に美味しかったー。風が強い時は外で食べるのは要注意です。飛んでいきます。
ホヌも船上からたくさん見ることができ、大満足でした。
１２時の方向、９時の方向など分かりやすかった。
スタッフさんがみなさん優しくて、ほんとに1日子供のように遊べました。
たくさん家族で写真も撮ってもらい、最高の親孝行ができました♪
ありがとうございました。
ただ、帰りは船もバスも寒いので厚手の上着があった方がいいです。
薄手のパーカー持っていきましたが、それでも寒かったです。
風が強く、海が濁っていたため魚はあまり見れなかったので、また参加したいなと思ってます。

I was skeptical about whether we would really see whales, but we encountered many of them. The whale tails visible from the sea were truly adorable.

本当に鯨が見られるか半信半疑でしたが、沢山の鯨たちにあえました。
海から見える鯨のしっぽは本当にかわいかったです

We attended as a family while also celebrating my daughter's wedding. The people who took care of us captured many memorable family photos. The food on the boat was delicious as well.

娘の結婚式のついでに家族で参加。お世話してくれた方々が、家族の思い出に残る写真を一杯撮ってくれました。船上の食事も美味しかったです。

Unfortunately, the weather was unstable with cloudy skies, occasional sunshine, and rain... The tour staff and the captain were very cheerful and kind. The sandbar was a bit high due to the tide, but it was nice to have some sunny moments then. However, it rained intermittently, making it a bit chilly, so we decided to skip snorkeling. I think weather is just a matter of luck! I’ll aim for a comeback next time.

生憎の曇り時々晴れ時々雨な不安定な空模様…
ツアー同行スタッフさんや船長さんはとても元気で良い方でした✩
サンドバーは満ち潮気味でしたが、その時は少し晴れ間で良かったです。
しかし雨が途中降ったりで肌寒く、私達はシュノーケリングはやめておきました。
天気は運なので仕方ない！と思い、次の機会にまたリベンジします。

As soon as we arrived at the bay by bus, it started to rain and the wind was blowing, making it cold. It would have been wonderful if the weather had been good.

バスで湾についたとたん雨が降りだし風も吹いていて
寒かったです。天候が良ければ素晴らしかったはずです

Royal Star motorcoach provided top notch transportation and Patrick, our driver and guide, provided superior service. The motorcoach was impeccably clean and modern and Patrick was friendly, funny, and completely knowledgeable about everything Hawaiian that all of us asked him. I particularly liked that Patrick kept track of us at all times and was at all rendezvous sites at Pearl Harbor on time. It was great to know that he was looking out for us and took a personal interest in all of us. Patrick is a wonderful ambassador of your company and of your motorcoach and guide services. By the way, I'm not related to Patrick, but I am a former motorcoach bus captain myself for several years in Virginia. Patrick is a man worth keeping happy; you do not want to lose this gem to a competitor! We were very glad we found VELTRA online for our Pearl Harbor and Honolulu transportation and tour on 11/27/2015.

Got the ambassador pkg and the prime buffet. Most folks didn't get the prime buffet. Really enjoyed our time. For me the ambassador package and prime buffet option was really worth it. Even though I had the rental car I took the bus from Waikiki. I think the bus is a must since it was informative and enjoyable and funny and set the stage for fun. Veltra was awesome. They can easily get you booked and all set to go.

This is a highly satisfying tour.

The honu came right up to us, and we were very pleased! It's definitely a good idea to bring an underwater camera.

The lunch was also very delicious, and I went back for seconds a few times.

One thing to note is that the sandbar has some surprisingly sharp rocks, so it's best to prepare reef shoes.

非常に満足度の高いツアーです。

ホヌも目の前まで来てくれ大満足です！
絶対に水中カメラは持参したほうがいいです。

またランチも非常においしく何回かおかわりもしました。

注意点としてはサンドバーは意外と尖った石があったりするので、
リーフシューズを用意したほうが正解です。

During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, we wanted to see wild dolphins and swim with them, so we decided to join this tour!

To sum it up, it was a very satisfying tour♪

We were able to swim with dolphins twice in the ocean, but unfortunately, both times the dolphins swam quite far below us, so we couldn't get as close as we had hoped. However, according to our guide, there are times when they are much smaller and even difficult to spot, so we were quite fortunate to see them clearly (sometimes they come very close to people). Well, since they are wild dolphins and not domesticated, it's all a matter of luck, and being able to enjoy that aspect is one of the charms of the tour.

Additionally, not only dolphins but also snorkeling at the sea turtle spot is included, so even if we weren't lucky with the dolphins, it was still okay! There are points where sea turtles are almost guaranteed to be present, and we were able to swim quite close to them, so much so that we had to avoid touching them (it seems that touching sea turtles in Hawaii can result in a fine)!

While the main focus is on snorkeling with dolphins and sea turtles as mentioned above, there are also other activities such as singing Hawaiian songs and throwing flowers to pray for a safe voyage, watching the crew's wonderful hula, enjoying paddleboarding and kayaking, sliding from the boat, and eating burgers. It's quite a packed tour, and combined with the friendliness and brightness of the crew, it guarantees a very enjoyable experience♪

Finally, to make the most of the tour, here are a few reminders. First, definitely take motion sickness medication. We were fine, but a few people looked unwell (the guide gives quite a bit of explanation about seasickness beforehand, which might have the opposite effect). Also, it's a good idea to bring local currency. They offer paid options on the bus heading to the ocean, such as wetsuit rentals ($5 per person), photo packages (we received about 600 photos of all participants on a USB), and motion sickness wristbands (around $20, effectiveness unknown).

And the most important thing: if you're participating in the morning, make sure to wake up properly! The departure is around 5 AM, so an early wake-up is required.

新婚旅行でハワイに行った際、野生のイルカが見たい、イルカと泳ぎたいと思って参加しました！

結果から言えば、かなり満足のいくツアーでした♪

海に入ってイルカと泳ぐことができたのは２回で、１度目も２度目もイルカが私達のかなり下の方を泳いでいたため、思ったほど近くを泳げなかったのは残念でしたが、ガイドさんの話ではもっと小さくしか見えない時や、そもそも視認することも難しい時もあるようなので、しっかりと見ることのできた私達はかなり恵まれた方だったのかなと思います（時によってはかなり人の近くに寄ってくることもあるみたいです）。まあそのへんは飼いならされているわけではなく、あくまで野生のイルカなので、運次第ということでしょうし、そういった点も含めて楽しむことができるのがツアーの魅力のひとつでもあります。

また、イルカだけでなく、海ガメポイントでもシュノーケリングできるので、万一イルカ運に恵まれなかった場合でも大丈夫！こちらはほぼ確実に海ガメがいるポイントがあるらしく、私達もかなり近くで海ガメと泳ぐことができ、むしろ近すぎて、下手に触らないように避けるぐらいでした（ハワイでは下手に海ガメに触ると罰金をとられるようです）！

そして、あくまでメインとしては上に書いたようなイルカ＆海ガメとのシュノーケリングですが、これ以外にも、航海の無事を祈ってハワイの歌を歌って花を投げたり、クルーのフラ（素晴らしい）を見たり、パドルボートやカヤック、ボートからの滑り台で楽しんだり、バーガーを食べたりと結構盛りだくさんのツアーですので、クルーの人のよさというか明るさも相まって、非常に楽しいツアーとなることは請け合いです♪

最後に、ツアーを最大限に楽しむためにも、いくつか注意喚起です。
まず、酔い止めは必ず飲みましょう。私達は大丈夫でしたが、数人は気分が悪そうにしていました（ガイドさんが事前にかなり船酔いに関する説明をするので、それがかえって逆効果になる可能性も）。
そして、一応現地通貨は持って行きましょう。ウェットスーツの有料レンタル（１人５ドル）や、写真（USBでもらえます。私達の時は全参加者のいろいろな写真含めて600枚ぐらいありました）の申込（５０ドル程度）、酔い止め用のリストバンド（２０ドルぐらい？効果のほどは不明）の販売など、海に向かうバスの中で有料オプションを受け付けています。
そしてこれが一番大切なことですが、朝参加の場合は、きちんと朝起きましょう！朝は５時台出発なので、かなり早起きが要求されます。

Went with my partner and our friend visiting in town, and had so much fun. There was only one other group of 3 on our morning trip so we had the whole boat to ourselves. The crew was really nice and fun to talk to, and the turtles were so fabulous and chill and beautiful and I want them to be my friends. Being out on a catamaran was refreshing too after the noise, tourists, etc. of being in Honolulu.

We had a great time on the sail and the swim with the turtles. The crew was great, you can tell they really love what they do and want to make sure your excursion is a memorable one. We would do it again.

this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D

I participated on November 19, but due to the rainy season, the weather was bad and it was high tide, so I could only see the white sand on the seabed. Also, after about 30 minutes of snorkeling, my body got cold and I couldn't enjoy it much. The hamburger was cold, and I wished it had been warmed up a bit more. I think those who will participate in the future should check the weather and low tide before going. Also, since the boat cuts through the wind, a warm jacket is necessary.

１１月１９日に参加しましたが雨季の為、お天気が悪くしかも満潮でしたので海底の白い砂を見ただけでした。又シュノーケルも３０分もすると、身体が冷えてあまり楽しめませんでした。ハンバーガーも冷えていてもう少し温めてほしいと思いました。これから参加される方は、お天気と干潮を調べて出かけると良いと思います。又船上は風を切って走るので、暖かい上着が必要です。

We had a great time. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. We had a few surprises such as the turtle watching and the snorkeling at the beautiful reef. The food was great and the hot cocoa and beverages were a plus. There was more people than we expected but overall we had a wonderful time. Thank you captain bobs gang ;)

I was worried if the Dinner Plan A course would be okay, but the quality and quantity of the food were wonderful! The selection of wines was also abundant, and the California sparkling wine and Opus One's second label, Overture, made for a fantastic time.

I definitely want to use this again next time.

ディナープランAコースで大丈夫か心配していましたが、料理の内容も量も素晴らしかったです！
ワインの種類も豊富でカルフォルニアのスパークリングと、オーパスのセカンドのオーバーチャーで最高の一時でした。

次回もぜひ利用したいと思います。

Although the weather was unfortunately bad on the day, we were able to see many turtles. The plan mentioned a barbecue lunch, but it was actually a cheeseburger.

当日はあいにくの悪天候でしたが、多くの亀を見ることができました。
プランでは、バーベキューランチと書かれていましたが、実際にはチーズバーガーでした。

We were picked up less than a block away from our Waikiki Hotel for an early morning 6:30am tour with a guarantee to return us back to the hotel no later than 2:00 pm. As we had a scheduled 3:00pm pick-up for transportation to the cruise ship pier from our Hotel, the time schedule was critical. The drive showed up right on time in a luxury Tour Bus. We completed the Pearl harbor tour which included the USS Missouri, the USS Arizona, and the city tour and got us back to our hotel with time to spare. Great Service. Would highly recommend.

The day before, there was a once-in-30-years heavy rain, so the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see corals and cute little fish, and sea turtles also popped up occasionally, which was enjoyable. However, today, unfortunately, muddy water from the mountains started rushing toward the sandbar, and when I tried to escape, it was already right in front of me, and I ended up getting soaked. My swimsuit got quite dirty, so I wish the guide had told us to get out earlier if they had noticed.

この日は前日が30年に一度の大雨という事で、海が濁ってましたが、シュノーケリングではちゃんとサンゴや可愛い小魚を見ることができましたし、ウミガメもちょいちょい顔出してくれましたので楽しめました。
ただし今日は運悪く山からの泥水がサンドバーに向かって押し寄せてきたので逃げようとしましたが、気付いた時には目の前まで来ていて浸かってしまいました。
これで水着がかなり汚れましたのでガイドさんには気付いていたのであれば早く上がれって言って欲しかったですね。

Wonderful day. Outstanding presentation. Highly recommended to others.

On November 14th, I participated in the Heaven's Ocean Tour. The ocean in Hawaii is beautiful everywhere, but the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay was exceptional. I was also able to see many sea turtles. When I went snorkeling near the coral reef, a lot of tropical fish came close and ate bread from my hand. The hamburger I had on the boat was also very delicious. Thank you to all the staff!!

11月14日　天国の海ツアーに参加しました。　ハワイはどこも海は綺麗ですが　ｶﾈｵﾍ湾のサンドバーは格別でした。　また海ガメも沢山見ることが出来ました｡　珊瑚礁の近くでシュノーケリングすると　沢山の熱帯魚が近づいてきて　私の手からパンを食べてくれました。　船上で食べたハンバーガーも大変美味しかったです。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました!!　

Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking

The weather wasn't very good, so I couldn't experience much excitement. It was quite cold... It would have been perfect if I could have gone when the weather and tide were at their best...

あまり天気がよくなかったのでそこまで感動は味わえなかった。寒かったくらいで・・・。天気と潮が一番引くタイミングでいけたら最高だったのだろう・・・。

Since I went on a weekday, I was able to ride the slides with hardly any wait. The lunch was also more delicious than I expected, and I ended up going back for seconds multiple times! I want to visit again when I go to Hawaii!

平日に行ったのでスライダーもほぼ並ばずに乗れました。ランチも思った以上に美味しくて何度もおかわりしてしまいました！またハワイに行った際は行きたいです!

The Friday night cruise food was very good and the dancers and live band were excellent. It was a fun filled evening with an opportunity to meet new friends from around the globe.

I was very moved because I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles up close. I dove into the sea three times in total. The sea turtles were really close, it was amazing! There were about six of them. There were also many dolphins, and I got to see them jump.

I’m not great at swimming, but I managed. (When diving from the boat, there was pressure because people were waiting behind me, so I jumped in. But it was a bit scary. I ended up drinking a lot of seawater, but I was so moved that I didn’t care, and I floated back up on my own.)

I felt that it was very kind of them to call the hotel in the morning to check if I was awake. Moreover, the voice on the phone was refreshing and reassuring.

The new guide was on their first tour, so good luck to them!

If I had to say one thing, it was disappointing that there was only one paddleboard available, so I couldn’t try it! One group had taken it over. The hamburger was delicious, and I also enjoyed the potato chips. There were no fruits available.

イルカも海ガメもどちらも間近で見ることができたのでとても感動しました。計３回海にダイブ。海ガメは本当に間近にいてすごすぎです！６匹ぐらいいました。イルカもたくさんいてジャンプも見れました。
私は泳ぐとこが苦手でしたがなんとかなります。（船からのダイブは後ろに待っている人がいるのでプッレシャーで飛び込めました。でもちょっと怖い。海水も飲みまくりでしたが、感動でどうでもよくなりますし勝手に浮いてきます）
朝ホテルに電話を入れてくれて起きているか確認してくれる所もとても親切だなと感じました。しかもその電話の声がさわやかで安心します。
新人のガイドさんが初ガイドということでした、頑張って下さい！
１つ言うならば、パドルサーフィンが１個しかなかったのでできなかったことが残念！１組が占領していました。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですし、ポテトチップスも美味しくいただきました。フルーツはありませんでした。

I was able to see sea turtles up close in an unreal space, and I had a great time with the friendly staff! Thank you very much! If I have the chance, I would like to visit again.

非現実的な空間でウミガメも近くで見ることが出来たうえ、気さくなスタッフの方と一緒に楽しい時間が過ごせました！ありがとうございました！
また機会がありましたら、リピしたいと思います。

This was my first time attending. I reserved a premium seat. I'm not sure how much of the seating is taken up by the premium seats, but I was guided to the front row on the second floor, directly in front. Therefore, there was nothing to obstruct the show, and I enjoyed it 120%. At the end, Elvis came to our seats and shook hands, which was a fantastic experience as an entertainer.

Additionally, there were authentic performances featuring Gaga, Michael, hula dancing, fire dancing, and more. It was a lot of fun.

初めての観覧です。プレミアシートで予約しました。プレミアシートが席のどの程度を占めているのか分かりませんが、2階の最前列で真正面の位置に案内されました。従って、ショーを遮るものはなく120%楽しめました。ラストの方でエルビスが席まで来て握手をするなど、エンターテナーを満喫しました。
その他、ガガ、マイケル、フラダンス、ファイアーダンス等、本格的なショーでした。
楽しかったです。
