All Reviews for Toddler Friendly (Ages 2-4)

I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience being on a submarine. It was great to see sea turtles. There weren't any surprising events, but you can enjoy a relaxed time.

潜水艦に乗る機会はあまりないので経験できてよかったです。ウミガメが見れたので良かったです。ほかはびっくりするようなイベントは有りませんがゆったりとした時間を味あえます。

On the day of the trip, the weather was nice and the waves were calm, so neither the ferry nor the submarine rocked. The underwater visibility in Hawaii was excellent, allowing us to see far into the distance. By chance, we were able to see three sea turtles, which was great. It might have been coincidental, but during the early hours, there were many Japanese tourists, so the main guide conducted the tour primarily in Japanese. I appreciated that the staff discreetly explained to the few non-Japanese passengers before boarding that the main guide would be in Japanese.

　当日は天気が良く波が静かで、渡し船も潜水艇も揺れませんでした。ハワイの海底は、透明度が非常によく遠くまで見ることが出来ました。偶然にも、海亀を３匹見ることが出来よかったです。たまたまかもしれませんが、早い時間帯は日本人が多いのでガイドもメインは日本語でした。スタッフが日本人以外の少数派に、乗船前にメインのガイドは日本語でやることをこっそり説明しており好感できます。

It was my first sunset cruise. There were not many Japanese people, and there was one staff member who spoke Japanese. The meeting point was near the Tropical Bar at the Hilton. There was a reception there, so I mentioned my reservation name, waited for about 10 minutes, took off my shoes, and then boarded the cruise.

Drinks, including alcohol, were all-you-can-drink, and there was food like bread, pasta, and salad! The weather was nice, so we got to see a really beautiful sunset! The staff were kind, and the atmosphere was very lively, typical of America! (laughs) It was quite windy and cold, so it's definitely better to bring a jacket.

初めてのサンセットクルーズでした
日本人はあまり少なく、日本語喋れるスタッフは1人いました。
集合場所がヒルトンのトロピカルバーの横？らへんでしたそこに受付があるので予約の名前を言って、10分くらい待って靴をぬぎクルーズへ入っていく感じでした。

飲み物もアルコールなど飲み放題で食べ物もパンやパスタ、サラダがありました！
天気が良かったので凄く綺麗なサンセットが見れました！
スタッフの方々も優しく、アメリカのテンションマックスでした！笑
風が強いのと寒かったので上着は絶対持ってた方がいいです。

I'm glad I got to see the ocean in Hawaii! I had the impression that there were many families around, and it might depend on the sea conditions, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish.

ハワイの海の中を見れてよかったです！
家族連れが多いイメージで、海のコンディションによると思うのですが、魚が少なかったのが少し残念でした。

I participated with my wife and two daughters, but it was quite difficult because my wife got drunk. The submarine itself is stable, but the waves while transferring from the shuttle boat to the submarine are quite intense. If you're not confident on boats, it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case. As for the tour, we were able to see sea turtles this time, and the kids were thrilled. What you can see depends on luck, though.

妻と娘二人で参加しましたが、妻が酔ってしまい大変でした。
潜水艦自体は安定しているんですが、送迎線から潜水艦に乗り移る間が水面のうねりが凄いです。
船に自信がある方以外は、念のため酔い止めを飲んで挑んだ方が良いです。
肝心のツアーですが、今回はウミガメも見れて子供達は大喜びでした。
何が見れるかは、運次第ですが。

You have plenty of time on the submarine to fully enjoy the scenery underwater. I was able to see sharks and sea turtles! (Maybe I was just lucky.) The elementary school children also seemed to have fun looking for fish. The boat before switching to the submarine swayed quite a bit, so I noticed a few people feeling seasick before the main event. I recommend taking motion sickness precautions for those who are not confident on boats.

潜水艦に乗っている時間はたっぷりあり、海の中の景色を十分楽しめます。鮫やウミガメも見れました！（運が良かったのかも。）小学生の子どもたちも魚を探したり楽しそうでした。潜水艦に乗り換える前の船が結構揺れるので、メインイベントの前に船酔いしている人もちらほら見かけました。船に自信のない人は酔い止め対策をおすすめします。

Motion sickness medication is a must. The view from the boat is great, and riding in the submarine is fun, but there weren't many fish on the seabed... I thought they had artificially created a fishing ground on the sandy bottom. It's a 45-minute experience of watching the little fish gather there. Since it takes about three hours, please weigh it against other events you want to do before deciding to participate!

酔い止めは必須です。船からの眺めは良いし、潜水艦に乗るのも楽しいのですが、海底に魚は…あまりいませんでした。
もともと砂地に人工的に魚場を作ったんだなと思いました。そこに集まる小さなお魚達を見つめる45分です。
時間は３時間ほど取られるので、他にやりたいイベントと天秤かけて参加を決めて下さいね！

The transparency of the sea was not great. I was hoping there would be a few more fish, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There weren't enough headphones, and there weren't any available for us.

海の透明度がいまいち。
もう少し魚がいるのかなぁ、と期待していまさしたが、残念でした。
ヘッドホンの数が足りておらず、私たちの分がありませんでした。

The submarine was a bit offshore, and it took about 10 minutes to get there by boat, but the view of Diamond Head and the beach from the boat was amazing. The wreckage of the submarine, along with the remains of ships and walkers that have been sunk to create a reef, was impressive. I also learned about the efforts to protect Hawaii's marine environment, which made me realize once again the importance of preserving nature. While most of the fish were small, we encountered a sea turtle along the way, making it a memorable experience.

潜水艦が少し沖にあり10分程度船で移動しますがその時の船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、ビーチの景色は最高でした。潜水艦も海底に沈めた、船とか歩行器の残骸の漁礁が印象的でした。またハワイの海の自然を守る活動を聞いて努力して維持していること知り改めて自然を守る大切さを感じました。魚は小さいものが中心ですが、途中でウミガメにも遭遇し、印象に残る体験でした。

We took a boat to the submarine, and it felt great to look at Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. However, the submarine experience was more about staring at the blue ocean rather than seeing a variety of colorful fish, which might get boring towards the end. Additionally, the monotone of the Japanese audio guide made me gradually feel sleepy while listening.

潜水艦に乗るところまでは船で向かい、海からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて気持ち良かったです。潜水艦は色とりどりの魚が見られるというよりも、ブルーな海中をずっと見ている感じで後半は飽きてくるかもしれません。さらに日本語オーディオガイドのトーンが単調なせいか、聞いていると次第に眠くなってしまいました。

I went at the same time last year, and it was disappointing that the tour was canceled due to a scheduling conflict with an event, so I'm glad I could participate this year.

I encountered many dolphins, and it was a lot of fun.

The crew was bright and wonderful, and I plan to join again.

去年も同じ時期に行き、申し込みした日が何かのイベントと重なるため、このツアーが中止になってしまって残念だったので、今年は参加出来て良かった。

たくさんイルカと遭遇出来て、とても楽しかった。

明るく素敵なクルー達だったし、また参加しようと思います。

I was glad to see a large giant trevally and colorful fish gathering around the artificial reef. I also got to see a honu (sea turtle) at the end!

大きなギンガメアジをはじめ、カラフルな魚が人工漁礁で群れている姿を見ることが出来て良かったです。最後にホヌも見れました！

Since dinner was light, I was able to focus on the sunset, which was quite nice! The tour guide was cheerful, and the service was excellent. It was a fulfilling two-hour tour! I would love to participate again next time!

夕食が軽食なため夕日に集中でき、
かなり良かったです！！
ツアーの方も陽気でサービスも
ばっちりでした。
充実した2時間ツアーでした！！
また次回も参加したいツアーです！

The Sunset Sailing offered by Hilton is more expensive compared to those from Sheraton or Outrigger, but since I was staying at Hilton, I chose this tour. It was great that the meeting place was close, allowing me to use the time before departure meaningfully. Although the limit was set to two alcoholic drinks, the crew didn't seem to collect the vouchers. As a result, I was able to enjoy as many drinks as I wanted. Perhaps due to the alcohol, I didn't feel the sway of the boat at all. I was also satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. I gave a generous tip as a thank you.

ヒルトン発のサンセットセーリングは、シェラトン発やアウトリガー発に比べ料金が高いですが、ヒルトンに宿泊していたのでこのツアーを選びました。
集合場所が近いので出発までの時間を有意義に使えて良かったです。
アルコールは２杯までとなっていましたが、クルーが引換券を受け取ろうとせず。結果的には何杯でもいただくことが出来ました。
アルコールで酔ったせいか、船の揺れはまったく感じませんでした。
きれいな夕日も見ることができ満足です。
お礼にチップを多めに渡してきました。

We take a boat out to the submarine. We glide past canoes and surfers, enjoying views of Honolulu's beaches and cityscape, as well as Diamond Head from the sea before boarding. We also enjoyed a short cruise. At the bottom of the ocean, there are not only fish but also sea turtles and eels...

潜水艦に乗る沖合まで船で行きます。
カヌーや波乗りの横をすり抜け、ホノルルのビーチと街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から眺めてから乗船です。短い時間のクルーズも楽しめました。
海の底には、魚のほかにもウミガメやウツボも、、、

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and lots to see on this tour.

There were various happenings before boarding the submarine, which was quite amusing. Exploring underwater in the submarine was very enjoyable, and the children were wide-eyed watching. The fish swarming around the artificial reef and the sea turtles looked very cute. I would love to see it again with my family.

潜水艦に乗るまでに色々ハプニングあり面白かったです。
潜水艦で海中探索とても楽しく子供たちが目を丸くして見ていました、
人工漁礁に群がる魚や、ウミガメがとても可愛く見ていました、また家族で見たいと思います。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎

想像以上に揺れました！そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎

from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun

Coral has settled on the sunken aircraft and ship right in front of me, and colorful fish are swarming around, allowing me to truly enjoy the natural food chain.

目の前に沈んだ航空機や船に珊瑚が住み付き、色とりどりの魚が群れていて自然の食物連鎖がリアルに楽しめました。

We had the most wonderful morning! The boat was clean and the staff was excellent. We even saw dolphins! We will definitely be taking this tour again!

There were few fish, and the only things to see were artificial structures and a sunken ship. I started to feel sleepy. The only time I got excited was when I was on the boat heading to the submarine, feeling the wind... I think it would have been more enjoyable if there had been more marine life. This isn't really the tour company's fault, though...

魚も少ないし見るものと言えば人工的に沈めた枠とか沈没船かな。眠くなってしまいました。テンションが上がったところと言えば潜水艦に向かう船で風に吹かれてるときかな・・・。もう少し生き物がいてくれたら楽しかったと思う。こればっかりはツアー会社のせいじゃないけど・・・。

You don't need to arrive before the reception time since others are quite relaxed about it. It's not a first-come, first-served situation...

Once the submarine dives, it stabilizes, so I didn't feel nauseous or experience any pressure changes. I joined a tour without a Japanese guide, but if you're just looking to enjoy the ocean, it's not a problem.

The handsome guide, Jordan, was hard to understand at all. I found the earphone guide a bit bothersome and took it off halfway through. I was satisfied to see turtles and sharks.

受付時間前に行かなくても他の方がルーズなので大丈夫です。早い者勝ちとかではないので・・・
潜水艦は潜ると安定してるので気持ち悪くなったり気圧が変になることはなかったです。
日本語ガイドがいないツアーに参加しましたが、純粋に海を楽しむなら問題ないです。
イケメンガイドさんのジョーダンが全く分からないくらいです。イヤホンガイドは途中面倒くさくて外してしまいました。亀やサメも見れて満足です。

Unfortunately, the day of the event was marked by on-and-off rain, but once the cruise started, we could see a rainbow over Diamond Head the entire time, and it was truly beautiful!

I participated alone, and since the guide spoke English, I was initially anxious. However, both the guide and the captain of the cruise ship were friendly and charming women who really lifted the atmosphere, making it enjoyable.

Additionally, most of the other participants were older couples from Western countries, and it seemed rare to see a Japanese woman participating alone, so everyone came over to talk to me, which kept me from getting bored, haha.

Next time, I want to invite my mother and join again!

残念ながら参加日は雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、クルーズが始まると終始虹がダイアモンドヘッドに掛かっているのが見えて本当にキレイでした！
1人で参加し、ガイドも英語だったので最初は不安でしたが、ガイドとクルーズ船の船長さんが2人とも気作な可愛らしい女性で場を盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。
また、ほかの参加者はだいたい欧米人の老夫婦が多かったのですが、日本人女性が1人で参加しているのが珍しかったのかみんな話し掛けてきてくれて退屈しませんでしたw
次は母を誘ってまた参加したいです。

This was my first time participating.

Check-in was scheduled for 8:30 AM, so I arrived at that time. It seems that check-in actually started at that time, so it would have been fine to arrive around 9 AM. Since I was the first to check in, I had quite a bit of waiting time. I wish I had played at the nearby beach...

We moved to two submarines located on the sea using a larger boat with a restroom. From there, we split into two groups to board.

As expected of the waters in Hawaii. The waves were high, so the boat rocked quite a bit. Please be cautious of seasickness. My wife apparently wasn't in the mood to enjoy the submarine experience due to seasickness.

The submarine itself was very good. We were able to see a sunken ship and a submerged Zero fighter, which was quite surreal.

It seems to be a popular tour, as there were many people.

初めて参加させていただきました。

チェックインが8時30分となっていたので、8時30分に行きました。
これはこの時間にチェックインが開始と言う事で、実質9時頃までにくれば良かったぽいです。
一番乗りでチェックインしてしまったので、結構待ち時間がありました。
近くの海で遊んでいれば良かった、、、。

トイレ付きの大きめの船で、海上にある二隻の潜水艦まで移動します。
そこから、二手に分かれて乗り込みます。

さすがハワイの海。
波が高いので、結構揺れます。
船酔いに注意してください。
妻は船酔いで潜水艦で鑑賞する気分ではなかったらしいです。

潜水艦自体はとても良かったです。
沈没船や水没している零戦などが見ることが出来、とても幻想的でした。

人気のツアーらしく、人数は多いです。

You can see various types of submerged reefs and the creatures swimming around them. There are ships, airplanes, and more. You can listen to a Japanese audio guide through headphones, but when the captain is guiding in English and a sea turtle passes by, he cheerfully shouts "KAME! KAME!" or if there’s a shark, he’ll say "SHARK! SHARK!" When moving to the submarine by boat, if the weather is clear, you can see a beautiful view from Waikiki Beach to the mountains.

海底に沈められたいろいろなタイプの漁礁やその周りを泳ぐ生き物を見ることができます。
船、飛行機など様々です。日本語の音声ガイドをヘッドフォンで聞くこともできますが、キャプテンが英語でガイドしている時にウミガメが通ると「KAME！KAME！」とか、サメがいれば「SHARK！SHARK！」と賑やかに教えてくれます。
船で潜水艦まで移動している時は、晴れているとワイキキビーチから山まできれいに見ることができます。

I thought I would see a lot of fish and turtles since it was a submarine experience, but I might have had too high expectations. Since it's in nature, I think timing plays a role as well. The price is a bit high too. The staff was very enthusiastic and made it enjoyable.

潜水艦ということで、個人的に沢山の魚や亀がみれるとおもったが、期待しすぎていた。自然の中なので、タイミングもあると思います。値段も高いかな。スタッフさんはとても盛り上げてくれました。

My friend and I went on this together and it was the first time for both of us on a submarine! It was really neat getting to see the airplane and ships that were down there as well as getting the chance to see about 4 sea turtles and even a small shark! The crew was very nice and professional and we had a great time.

My friend and I went one night when she was in town visiting and had such an amazing time! The boat is very nice and spacious and we loved having the net lounge seating to hang out on. The crew was awesome and continued to walk around the whole time checking on guests to see if they needed anything. You get an awesome view of Diamond Head as well as an amazing sunset view, I would definitely recommend!

I had my elderly father and mother participate in a tour. On the day of the tour, the tour company made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived an hour early, so they didn't come to pick them up no matter how long they waited. My mother managed to think on her feet and contacted the tour company, allowing them to join the tour that was scheduled an hour later.

The day before, I had provided the emergency contact information to the tour company, yet they decided to mark them as absent simply because "they weren't at the meeting place" without properly confirming. If they had checked thoroughly, they would have realized they had mixed up the times. What would have happened if my mother hadn't contacted them?

After returning from the tour, I reached out to the tour company, but their response was, "If you were able to join the next tour..." It completely ruined what was supposed to be a meaningful trip for my parents.

高齢の父と母をツアーに参加させました。
当日、ツアー会社が集合時間を間違え1時間前のツアーの迎え時間で来てしまい、いくら待っても迎えに来ず…。母が何とか機転を利かせてツアー会社に連絡し、最初に予定していたものの1時間後のツアーに参加することが出来ました。
前日には、ツアー会社に緊急連絡先も伝えておいたのに、「集合場所にいなかったから。」という理由できちんと確認もしないまま不参加と判断するものはいかがかと。しっかり確認していれば、次の時間と間違えていたと気がついたと思います。母が連絡していなかったらどうしていたのでしょうか？？
ツアーから戻って来てからツアー会社に連絡しましたが、「次のツアーに参加できたなら…。」という対応でした。
折角の親孝行旅行が台無しになってしまいました。
