All Reviews for Recommended for Kids 2-4

Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, sharing many great behind-the-scenes stories!

The atmosphere was full of aloha spirit, with performers who you can tell take so much pride in sharing the history.

We were a family of seven with 3 teens. We loved both tours, the ranch and catamaran cruise beautiful scenery and educational
Would highly recommend

I participated because I wanted my children to play in the beautiful sea. We gathered in the morning and were taken by microbus; on the way back, we were dropped off directly in front of our hotel from the port. During the journey, we were introduced to famous restaurants in Hawaii, and since my Japanese is quite good, I had no worries.

At the dock, we took care of restroom needs and prepared ourselves. The restroom on the boat is very small and inconvenient, so it's better to use the facilities here. Since it was a weekday, the boat wasn't overcrowded, allowing us to relax.

Each person received one spam onigiri, and other snacks and drinks were free. It might be a good idea to have a decent breakfast beforehand to enjoy the day with full energy.

On the way to the sandbar, we stopped at a spot to see sea turtles, and we were able to see many from the boat. I thought we might see some at the sandbar too, and we actually did!

The water level that day was about waist-high for adults; if it's too shallow, we might not see anything. Conversely, if it's deeper, children might get scared. When the wind is strong, it can get chilly, and the waves can make activities like SUP a bit challenging.

You can rent SUPs, masks, fins, and boogie boards that allow you to see underwater. However, personally, I thought it might be better to bring my own mask since the size might not fit well.

I think it would be quite difficult to change clothes on the boat, so it's a good idea to prepare a towel that can thoroughly dry you off and a rash guard to wear over your swimsuit.

綺麗な海で子供を遊ばせてあげたくて参加しました。朝集合場所に行きマイクロバスで送って貰います、帰りは港から直接滞在ホテル前に送って貰いました。道中でハワイの有名な飲食店等紹介して貰いながら目的地へ向かいます、日本語が達者なので不安等はありませんでした。

船着場でトイレ等済ませて準備します、船のトイレは非常に狭いし不便なのでここで済ませた方が吉です。船上では平日だった事もあり超満員じゃ無かったのでゆったり過ごせました。

スパムおにぎりは一人1個、他のスナックやドリンクはフリーでした。事前に朝食をそこそこしっかり食べた方が体力満タンで楽しめるかも知れません。

サンドバーへ向かう途中ウミガメのスポットに立ち寄ると船上から沢山のウミガメを見る事が出来ました、ひょっとしたらサンドバーにもいるかもと思っていたら本当に会えました！

この日は大人の腰位の高さの水位でした、余りにも浅いと会えないかも。逆にこれ以上深いと子供が怖がるかも知れません。
風が強いと身体が冷えます、波も少し立って、SUP等は流されます。

SUP、マスク、フィン、水中が見えるビート板等は借りれます。ただ個人的にはマスクはサイズ合わないかもなので自分で準備した方が良いかもと思いました。

船上で着替える事は中々難しいと思うので、しっかり水気を拭き取れるタオルと、上に羽織れるラッシュガード等を確実に準備したら良いと思います。

I participated because I wanted to meet the lucky honu in Hawaii, and I was able to see them. Although it was a bit rainy and cloudy in the morning, by the time I arrived, the rain had stopped, and I enjoyed everything, including snorkeling and standing on the board.

ハワイの幸運をもたらすホヌと会いたくて参加しました、会えました。朝が少しの雨と曇りだったけど着いた頃雨も上がりシュノーケーリングも立って乗るボードも何もかも楽しめました。

For our first activity in Hawaii, we chose Dolphin University. On the two-story boat, we could enjoy cruising on the upper deck while feeling the wind before meeting the dolphins. Unfortunately, it was cloudy with light rain, but there were plenty of dolphins. Dolphins have the second-largest brain size after humans, and they swam around the boat, seemingly aware of us. Along the way, the kids got a bit seasick, but overall, we were able to finish the trip in good spirits. I would love to try again on a sunny day!

Also, it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes. There are warm water showers on the boat, and it takes about 40 to 50 minutes by bus from Waikiki. However, they turned off the air conditioning on the way back, which was reassuring.

ハワイの最初のアクティビティとして、イルカ大学を選びました。２階建ての船で、イルカに出会う前までは2階で風を感じながらクルージングできます。あいにくの曇りと小雨でしたが、イルカは沢山居ました。イルカは人間に次ぐ脳みその大きさで、なかなか空気を読んでくれて船の周りで泳ぎ回ってくれました。途中で子供達がseasicknessになりましたが、おおむねご機嫌で終わることができました。また晴れの日にチャレンジしたいですね！
あと、着替えはあったほうが良いです。温水シャワー船内にありますし、ワイキキからはバスで40〜50分かかります。でも帰りはエアコンOFFしてくれるので、安心でした。

The whole crew were so nice and professional. We definitely had an amazing experience first time snorkeling.

Bri was amazing! The tour was great . We got to see a little bit of everything & bri made it fun!!

Minako, who attended to us, was incredibly kind! 😍 We got to see so many dolphins, it was the best! 😆😆 I want to go again! ✨

アテンドをしてくださったミナコさん‼︎
めちゃくちゃ親切でした😍
イルカもたくさん見れて最高でした😆😆

また行きたいです✨

If you have time, I think you would enjoy a longer movie location tour instead of a half-day tour, or even horseback riding. This tour has beautiful scenery, but basically, you can only see similar views.

時間があるなら、半日ツアーではなく滞在時間が長い映画のロケ地巡りや、馬に乗った方が楽しめると思います。このツアーも景色は綺麗ですが、基本的に似たような景色しか見れません。

I picked a full day with Lunch, the lunch was good, the snorkel on secret island was amazing lots of fishes to see, some good activities too. Though I would recommend half a day if you are not in a large as many activities require a lot of people to make it fun.

I enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at the beautiful Kaneohe Sandbar. The weather was great, and the water was clear, allowing me to encounter schools of fish and many sea turtles.

On the way back, there was a surprise stop at Leonard's Malasada Wagon, making it a very satisfying activity.

美しいカネオヘサンドバーでシュノーケリングやSUPを満喫、天気も良く水中の透明度もあり魚群やたくさんのウミガメに出会うことができました。

帰りはレナーズのマラサダワゴンに立ち寄るサプライズもあり、大満足のアクティビティでした。

One of the best tours we did on Oahu! Pick up was on time and convenient. We had a great time all day. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable, and we never felt rushed. The buffet was hot and very good. There was always someone to help or answer a question. I would happily do this tour again!

It was fun. The crew was kind, and the ship was comfortable. I was moved to see sea turtles in the water, and they came close to the shallow area. I also saw many fish, and I think it would be enjoyable even for families with small children.

楽しかったです。クルーも親切で、船も快適でした。
海中でもウミガメが見れ、浅瀬まで来ていて感動しました。魚もたくさん見れたし、小さい子供がいても楽しめると思います。

The sea is beautiful, and we had a great time playing in the middle of the ocean at the sandbar, practicing SUP and snorkeling! Guided by the captain, we were healed by sea turtles and beautiful fish; it truly is a heavenly sea! The staff were also bright and friendly, which was the best!

海は綺麗だし、海の真ん中サンドバーでＳＵＰやシュノーケリング練習などして楽しく遊べました！キャプテンの誘導でウミガメさんや綺麗な魚たちに癒されて、ホント天国の海です！スタッフの方々も明るく親切で最高でした！

Before the pandemic, I participated in a different experience plan, and this was my second time joining. There were hardly any Japanese participants, and the staff were engaging with the participants, asking where they were from. I was nervous when it was our turn, but even though I could hardly speak any English, I managed to have a conversation. The explanations were all in English, so I couldn't take notes, but I didn't have any difficulties. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. There was one Japanese staff member at the information center, which was helpful. You can take photos at each location before participating and purchase them before leaving. It was $20. Since it's a popular option, I think it's better to make a reservation before departure. I'm glad I participated.

コロナ前に別の体験プランに参加し今回2回目の参加でした。参加者に日本人はほとんどいなくスタッフさんが参加者にどこから来たの？とか順番に話しかけていてドキドキしながら私たちの番になりほとんど英語は話せませんが何とか会話が出来ました。説明は全部英語なので内容は書き取りできませんが不自由はなかったです。ウミガメに出会えて感激しました。案内所に日本人スタッフが一人いるので助かりました。参加前にそれぞれの場所で写真を撮り帰る前に購入できます。20💲でした。人気なオプションなので出発前に予約したほうがいいと思います。参加して良かったです。

I understand that dealing with natural creatures can be unpredictable, but once on board, it felt quite rushed and not very leisurely. The staff's attentiveness was very good.

自然の生き物を相手にしているので仕方ないと思いますが乗船してからがあわただしくゆっくり楽しむ感じではありませんでした。
スタッフの気配りはとても良かったです。

I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*

会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり！！
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます！！！ありがとう！！！
thank you so much！！！*\(^o^)/*

We gathered before 6 AM 😅, but our bus driver Javier and instructor Fuko were already preparing even earlier, which was a small inspiration as we started. It took about an hour to reach Waianae in the west. Since it was my first time in the west, I felt a bit anxious, but we boarded the Poseidon with Dolphin University and performed a ritual before entering the sea, then headed out to search for dolphins... At the second spot, we were fortunate to find a pod of dolphins swimming beautifully 🐬✨. When I asked Fuko, she said the water was 1,000 meters deep! I was amazed by the depth of the ocean beyond my imagination! Then, we moved to a depth of 10 meters, where I was once again touched by the sight of honu and many tropical fish 🥹. We even slid down the slide attached to the boat, returning to our childhood... It was a tour filled with so much excitement! ✨

朝6時前の集合😅でも、バスドライバーのハビエルさんやインストラクターの風子さんは、もっと早くから用意してるんだよなぁ、と小さい感動をしながらのスタート。1時間ほどかけて、西のワイアナエまで。西は初めてだったので、ちょっと不安でしたが笑　イルカ大学さんのポセイドンに乗船し、海に入る儀式をしてから、イルカを探しに沖へ…2度目のポイントで見事に群れで泳ぐイルカさん🐬達を見つけてくださいました✨風子さんに聞いたら、水深1000メートルと‼️想像以上の海の深さに感動しました！　そして、移動して水深10メートルにて、ホヌやたくさんの熱帯魚にまたまた感動🥹　船についてる滑り台で、童心に帰ったりして…盛りだくさんのツアーでした✨

We learned a lot from the trainers. They gave us factual and interesting information. Dolphin and visitor safety is of the utmost importance to them.

The emerald green sea looked as if bath salts had been added, and it was very beautiful. The water level was up to my waist, but I've heard that it only goes down to ankle depth about two to three times a year. Snorkeling was optional, and my 75-year-old father tried SAP. I floated comfortably on a floatie, and it felt great! The snorkeling group found the outgoing trip easy and enjoyable, but on the way back, they wanted to walk back across the sandbar but were told to turn around. Swimming against the current was very challenging, but they saw a lot of fish, and it was very beautiful and fun.

まるでバスクリンを入れたかのようなエメラルドグリーンの海がとても綺麗でした。
水面が腰の下までありましたが、聞くところによると、足首まで下がることは年に2〜3回らしいです。
シュノーケルは参加してもしなくてもよく、75歳の父がSAPにトライしました。
私は浮き輪でプカプカ浮いてとても気持ちよかった♪
シュノーケル組は、行きは楽で良かったけど、帰りはサンドバーを歩いて帰りたかったがUターンするよう言われ、海流に逆らって泳ぐことがとても大変だったけど、魚がたくさんいてとても綺麗で楽しかったとのことです。

On the day of the trip, the wind was strong and the waves were intense, so I was worried about whether we would see dolphins. However, when we actually went out to sea and arrived at the dolphin spot, we were greeted by an incredible number of dolphins, and the kids were thrilled. The dolphins were friendly and swam around the boat for a long time, which was amazing. We also had the opportunity to snorkel and see sea turtles, which was a series of emotional moments. The staff were all very friendly and made it safe and enjoyable for our children aged 6, 8, and 10. I would love to participate again next time.

当日は風も強く、波も凄かったのでイルカに会えるか心配しておりましたが、実際に海に出てイルカがいるポイントに到着すると凄い数のイルカが出迎えてくれて、子供も大はしゃぎでした。
イルカは人懐っこく、長い時間を船の周りで泳いでくれて最高でした。
またシュノーケルもウミガメと会える事が出来て、感動の連続でした。
6歳、8歳、10歳の子供でも安心に楽しめるようスタッフの皆様の感じの良い方ばかりです。
次回も参加したいと思います。

This show blew me away from the staff to the dancers it was absolutely a top notch show and would go again. I recommend this show to anyone it was absolutely amazing!

The hospitality was amazing and the food was great! Worth every penny!

I made great memories in the best scenery✨ Thank you😊✨
I found sea turtles while snorkeling 🤿 and filmed them, but they didn't show up well, which was disappointing 😢
However, I was able to see many sea turtles with my own eyes, so it was fun‼️ The spam onigiri was also delicious 🤤

最高の景色の中で、良い思い出が出来ました✨ありがとうございました😊✨
シュノーケル🤿で海亀🐢見つけて、動画撮ったけど、あんまり映ってなくて、残念😢
でも、肉眼でたくさん海亀🐢見れたので、楽しかったです‼️スパムおにぎりも美味しかったです🤤

Not only the activities, but we also stopped by Leonard's on the way back!

The guide was great too. We saw a lot of turtles.

アクティビティだけでなく、帰りにレナーズにも寄ってくださった！

ガイドもよきでした。
亀もいっぱい見れました

It was cloudy all day, with occasional light rain, and it felt a bit chilly, so the conditions were not ideal. However, the staff lent us wetsuits, took photos on the boat, helped us find turtles, and really lifted the atmosphere. I had a very enjoyable time, so I would like to visit again on a sunny day.

この日はずっと曇りで、時々小雨もぱらつき、肌寒く、コンディション的にはハズレでしたが、スタッフの皆さんがウェットスーツを貸してくれたり、船上で写真を撮ってくれたり、カメを見つけてくれたり、場を盛り上げてくれました。
とても楽しい時間が過ごせたので、また晴れた日に再訪したいです。

The boat didn't sway much, and I didn't get seasick.
For lunch, we had spam onigiri and miso soup (there were also chips and coffee).
I encountered sea turtles once or twice, but the water wasn't very clear, so I couldn't see them well, and they swam away in no time.
I appreciated that there were announcements in Japanese. It would be easier to go if it were a bit cheaper.

船はあまり揺れず、船酔いもなし。
ランチは、スパムおにぎりとお味噌汁でした。（ポテチやコーヒーもあり）
ウミガメは、1〜2回遭遇しましたが、水の透明度があまり高くないのでよく見えず、あっという間に泳いでいってしまいました。
日本語の案内があるのはありがたかったです。もう少しお安いと行きやすいですね。

There was a Japanese-speaking staff member, so I didn't have any anxiety about communication throughout the tour! I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I was informed that I could join the same tour or a tour from the same company for free within two weeks. After that, there might be a discount percentage, but I'm not sure how much... I don't remember until when it applies.

The experience was very enjoyable, but the weather was a bit bad on the day, and the waves were high, so the snorkeling wasn't in very deep areas. It was fun!

日本語対応の日本人の方がいらっしゃったので終始言葉による不安はありませんでした！イルカが見られなかったので、代わりに2週間以内は同じツアーだったか同じ会社のツアーだったかが無料で参加出来るとの事でした。それ以降は何パーセントoffとか？らしいです、、、いつまでだったかは覚えてないです💦
内容はとても楽しかったのですが、当日少し天気が悪く波が高かったのでシュノーケリングはそんなに深いところではなかったです。楽しかったです！

The sandbar is simply beautiful. It was my first time paddleboarding, and I had a lot of fun. My husband and I rode a kayak surrounded by the beautiful sea and sky, and we felt so happy. During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish and turtles, and the staff who taught us spoke Japanese, making the explanations clear and thorough, which we appreciated. The drinks, snacks, and spam onigiri were all delicious.

とにかく美しいサンドバー
SUPは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったし、カヤックに夫婦で乗り綺麗な海と空に囲まれてhappyでした。
シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚や亀に会うことができて、教えてくれるスタッフの方も日本語が話せて、説明がわかりやすく丁寧でありがたかったです。
飲み物やスナック、スパムおにぎり、どれも美味しかったです。
