All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

During the meal, there was a live ukulele performance that took requests, and there were also plenty of activities like hula and hula lessons, making it a truly enjoyable time. The food was even more delicious than I had imagined. On stage, I was able to see hula and Tahitian dance, and the performers who looked so much like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson brought back nostalgic memories. Despite being sleepy from jet lag, I was treated to an amazing performance. I definitely want to come back and see it again next time. Thank you very much!

食事の時ウクレレ生演奏でリクエストにも応えて頂き、またフラやフラレッスンなど盛りだくさんで本当に楽しいひと時でした。
ご飯も想像以上に美味しかったです。
ステージではフラやタヒチアンダンスも見れたしエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンがすごーく似てたし曲やダンスも懐かしいし時差ぼけで眠かったにも関わらず最高のパフォーマンスを見せていただきました。
また来た時には絶対見に来たいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

We were able to relax and enjoy the show from a very good seat with our family. We were also satisfied because we could see the fireworks perfectly. The food was quite tasty as well.

とても見やすい席で家族でゆっくり観ることができました。
花火もばっちり見れて満足です。
ご飯もそれなりに美味しかったです。

We had a great time on the movie tour and delicious lunch and a beautiful catamaran ride seeing some turtles

The strength, delicacy, and captivating beauty of the human body... the story enhanced by the visuals... it was an impressive stage performance. Not only was the thrilling performance enjoyable, but I also learned about Hawaiian traditional culture and laughed at the comedic skits, losing track of time while having fun.

強靭で、繊細で、魅入ってしまう人体の美しさ…映像が盛り上げるストーリー性…圧巻のステージでした。スリリングなパフォーマンスはもちろん、ハワイの伝統文化を学んだり、コミカルな小芝居に笑ったりしながら、時間の経つのを忘れて楽しめました。

It was stated that there would be staff available who could speak Japanese, but after the initial greeting, everything was in English. There were no staff members who understood Japanese.

日本語対応可能スタッフがいると記載があったが、最初の挨拶以降は全て英語。日本語がわかるスタッフはいませんでした。

The banana cake served on board was delicious! There were paper captain hats and coloring pages available for the kids, which made our time on the ship enjoyable and meaningful. Additionally, thanks to the staff's encouragement, we were all excitedly focused on the directions where we might see something, and when we finally spotted it, we all celebrated together. It was a wonderful experience.

船内で提供されるバナナケーキがおいしかったです！子ども用に紙の船長キャップや、塗り絵が用意されていて、船内での時間を有意義に過ごすことができました。また、スタッフの方の声かけで、見える可能性のある方向をわいわい注目して、見えた瞬間にみんなで喜べたことがとても良い時間でした。

The crew will kindly guide you to the directions where you might see the best views! I was very satisfied to see the spouting and jumping, and at the end, two whales crossing paths.

クルーの方が、親切に見える可能性のある方向を教えてくれます！潮吹きやジャンプ、最後には2頭のクジラが交差するところをみられて大満足です。

After setting sail in nice weather, we waited while enjoying pineapple banana cake and coffee as we approached the point. The crew provided explanations about whales, but it was disappointing that I couldn't understand the English. Just when I was starting to give up thinking we might not see any whales today, they finally made an appearance, so I felt lucky.

お天気が良い中の出航後、パイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒーをいただきながらポイントへ近づくのを待ちます。クルーの方から鯨についての説明もありましたが、英語がせっかくのお話が分からなかったので残念。なかなかクジラが現れずに今日はダメかな？と諦めかけた頃にやっと姿を現してくれたのでラッキーでした。

The weather was nice, and I thought I would encounter whales, but they didn't show up... However, the view of Waikiki from the sea was amazing! The staff's service was also polite and great 🎵 I hope to see them next time!

天気も良くクジラに出会えると思ったけど姿を現してくれなかった｡｡
でも海からのワイキキの景色見れて最高でした
またスタッフの対応も丁寧で良かった🎵
次回は会えますように！

I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil in Japan recently, so I enjoyed it in Hawaii. The venue is compact, so there aren't many big tricks, but there is a sense of unity. It also has a Hawaiian vibe, making it enjoyable for everyone. The location is also easy to access around Waikiki.

最近日本でシルクドゥソレイユを見ていなかったので、ハワイで楽しみました。
会場はコンパクトなのであまり大技はありませんが一体感はあります。
ハワイ感もあってどなたでも楽しめる内容だと思います。
場所もワイキキ界隈で行きやすいところです。

It was absolutely wonderful. The venue was very small, and you could see well from anywhere, which made it very impressive. I was very surprised by the high level of performance. It was really great.

とても素晴らしかった。会場がとても狭く、どこからでもよく見えてとても迫力がありました。レベルの高さにとても驚きました。とても良かったです。

I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:

1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.

2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.

3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.

From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.

The price was high, but the seats were in a central and easy-to-see location, which was very good. I was satisfied. I always use Beltora for options.

金額も高かったですが、席も中央で見やすい位置でとても良かったです。満足できました。いつもオプションはベルトラさんを使わせていただいてます。

The Cirque du Soleil performance "Awana" was amazing. I want to see it again. I'm always impressed by the high level of the performers.

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演『アウアナ』は素晴らしかったです。
また見に行きたいと思います。
パフォーマーのレベルの高さにはいつも感心しています。

Convenient, smooth, friendly staff. Easy to book and reserve. Perfect way to start your morning on this sunrise cruise

I watched from the front row. I participated last year as well, and the powerful show was amazing no matter how many times I see it. Since I was able to see it up close, I could also see the expressions on their faces, which was very nice.

最前列の席で観覧しました。昨年も参加しましたが、迫力のあるショーは何度見ても最高でした。
近くで観ることが出来たので、お顔の様子も観ることができて、とても良かったです。

I was really looking forward to it because there was a guarantee that we would definitely see whales, but we hardly saw any. There were announcements that the tail had come up to the surface two or three times, but by the time we went to look, they had already disappeared. I didn't get to see the whales' large forms at all. I came all the way here in winter for this, so I was a bit disappointed.

必ずホエールが見れる保証がついてるのですごく期待していましたが、ほとんど見れませんでした。
2、3回尾鰭が水面に出たと放送があって見に行ったらすでに消えました。
全然ホイホイ大きな姿が見れることがありませんでした。
せっかくこれのために冬に来たのですが少しがっかりしました。

I went with my grandchild. The weather wasn't great, and the sea in January was cold. There was some rocking, and just when my first grader started to feel a little seasick, we spotted a whale, which was incredibly exciting!

The staff had a wonderful atmosphere. I only had a card with me, but I ordered juice anyway... However, they responded with such kindness and excellent service that I want to give back next time.

孫と2人で乗りました。天気がイマイチで1月の海は寒かったです。揺れもあり小1の孫が少し酔い出した頃にくじらが見えて大感動！

スタッフの人の雰囲気がすごく良かった。
カードしか持っていなかったのに、
ジュース頼んじゃって…でもきちんと優しい素晴らしい対応してくれたから、次はお返しがしたいくらいです。

I took my grandchild to Hawaii, and it was our first visit! It surprisingly took less than an hour and a half from Waikiki. My first grader was amazed to experience the cultures of various countries. It was a fantastic experience for both of us adults and the child! The evening show was quite impressive. I would recommend it to everyone going to Oahu. Mahalo!

孫1人を連れてハワイに行くので
初めて訪れました！ワイキキから意外と1時間半弱。いろんな国の文化に触れて小1の孫は目を輝かせていました。すごい良い体験できたし、大人の私たちも素晴らしい経験ができました！
夜のショーはなかなか圧巻。オアフに行く人にはみんなに勧めたいです。マハロ

I had made a reservation for two people, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I participated alone. I was nervous, but the captain and the staff were very kind, and I had a great time even by myself!

It was such a valuable experience to see sea turtles up close like that! There was also a staff member who provided Japanese interpretation, which made me feel very at ease! Everyone was kind, and it was a lot of fun!

2名で予約していましたが
急遽1名での、参加で緊張しましたが
キャプテンとスタッフさんが良くしていただか、一人でもとっても楽しめました！！

あんなにも、近くで海かめを見ることができるなんてとても貴重な経験ができました！
日本語通訳してくださるスタッフさんも、いてとても安心です！
みなさま優しくたのしかったです！

I was moved by the fire dance! At the end, we were able to take photos, which became a nice memory. Since it's at the Hawaiian Center, the location is great, and I highly recommend it!

ファイヤーダンスに感動でした！
最後に写真撮影などもできて、記念になりました。ハワイアンセンターなので、立地もよく、オススメです！

The prologue was cool, and both the music and performances were really good; time seemed to fly by. Even though everything was in English, I could understand the atmosphere, and I was happy that the cast members smiled as they walked past the seats, showing consideration for the audience. ♪

プロローグからカッコよく、音楽も演技もとても良くて、時間はとても早く過ぎた感じでした。
全部英語ではあったけれど、雰囲気でわかるし、団員さん達が席の横を通って行く時にもニッコリしていってくれて、観客に気配りしてくれているのが嬉しかったです♪

I enjoyed cruising the waters of Hawaii. I thought I might be lucky enough to see something, but unfortunately, I didn't.

もあこんなもの。
ハワイの海のクルージングを楽しんできました。
運が良ければ見れると思っていたけどやっぱり見れないと残念。

We participated in a tour that included a shuttle service to Hanauma Bay and a snorkeling set, with three people including a 12-year-old child. The pickup time was early in the morning. It was still dark outside, and I was worried about being out so early, but shortly after arriving, dawn broke. We were able to see a wonderful sunrise, which was the perfect start to the day.

Snorkeling was first thing in the morning, and there were plenty of fish. Although there were times during the day when it was cloudy, it didn't matter, and we still had a great time seeing lots of fish.

On this day, there were no other Japanese participants in the tour besides us. However, that wasn't an issue at all.

Additionally, we could borrow life jackets on the spot by asking the tour staff. Please note that these are cash only.

We considered renting a car to get there, but I think it was better to avoid the hassle of reservations and enjoy the convenience.

I would definitely like to participate in this tour again.

ハナウマベイシャトルサービスシュノーケルセットのツアーに、12歳の子供を含む３人で参加。
ピックアップの時間は早朝。
まだ外は暗く、こんなに朝早く？と心配になりましたが、到着して間もなく夜明け。素晴らしい朝焼けを見る事ができて、最高の一日のスタートでした。

シュノーケリングも朝イチで、魚が沢山いました。日中曇りになる時間も有りましたが、
それでも問題なく、沢山のお魚を見ることができて楽しかったです。

ツアーは、この日は、日本人は私達以外いませんでした。だからといって問題はないです。

また、ライフジャケットも、ツアーの方に言えばその場で借りる事ができました。
これらは、現金のみになります。

レンタカーを借りて行く事も考えましたが、
便利さと、予約などの手間が省けてよかったと思ってます。

また、参加したいツアーです。

I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time.
All the performances were moving.
They were powerful, and I was able to watch with excitement and anticipation!
I definitely want to see it again!

初めてシルクドゥソレイユをみました。
全てのパフォーマンスが感動しました。
迫力があり、ワクワク、ドキドキしながら見ることができました！
また絶対に見たいです！

We participated as a family. Since my family isn't very good at English, we were a bit anxious about going out to sea, but my fourth-grade son had a blast and we were able to create wonderful memories. There were staff members who spoke Japanese perfectly, which made us feel at ease. It has become a place we want to visit again. Thank you!

家族で参加しました
英語が得意ではない家族だったので、海に出る事が少し不安でしたが、
小学4年生の息子も思いっきり楽しめて、最高の思い出が作れました。
日本語バッチリのスタッフさんもいて安心できました。
また訪れたい場所になりました。
アリガト〜

I went in December. It was a bit cold, but on sunny days, it was the best! Since it was far from Honolulu, I was unsure whether to use a shuttle bus or a taxi. I decided to take an Uber taxi. It took about 30 minutes from Honolulu.

When we arrived about 20 minutes before the park opened, the gates had English signs, so I was anxious because I didn't know where to line up for the ticket reservation. Then, a Japanese staff member came out and handed us the tickets based on our reservation name. They kindly explained everything I didn't understand, which made me feel relieved. Since it was December, there weren't many lines in the park, and my 10-year-old son was able to enjoy almost everything.

The locker usage was quite complicated, and I had to ask the English-speaking staff multiple times using a translation app. Some slides had deep pools, and my son almost drowned, but there were staff members at each attraction who quickly handed him a float.

Since it was the off-peak season, some attractions were operating from the morning, while others started in the afternoon or were closed all day, so it was necessary to check. On the day we visited, the lazy river was out of service, which was disappointing since it was the attraction I was looking forward to the most.

We had lunch around 2 PM. The fries that came with the pizza set were really delicious. In the end, we played until closing time. I had also booked an Uber taxi for the return trip, but it seemed there was a lot of traffic, and we waited about 40 minutes longer than planned. The return trip took about an hour and a half due to the congestion. I was hesitant about going, but my child seemed to have a great time, and it became a wonderful memory.

12月に行きました。
少し寒さはありましたが、晴れてる日は最高です！
ホノルルから遠いので、送迎バスを使うかタクシーを使うか迷いました。
Uberタクシーで行きました。ホノルルから30分くらいでつきました。
開園20分前くらいに着くとゲートも英語表記なので、チケット予約の並びがどこかわからなくて、不安でした。
すると、日本人スタッフの方が出て来て予約の名前でチケットを先に渡してくださいました。
わからない事も丁寧に教えて頂き安心できました。12月なのもあり、園内はそこまで並ばなくても遊べて10歳息子もほぼ制覇できました。
ロッカーの使い方が難しいすぎて、何度も英語対応のスタッフさんに翻訳アプリで聞きました。
スライダーによって、プールが深い場所もあるので、息子が溺れてしまいましたが各アトラクションにスタッフさんが配置されてるのですぐに浮き輪を渡してもらいました。
閑散期だったので、アトラクションも朝から運転してるのもあれば、昼から運転していたり、終日運休しているのもあるので、確認が必要です。私たちの日は流れるプールが運休していて、1番楽しみにしていたのに残念でした。
　お昼は、14時くらいに食べました。
ピザセットのポテトがすごく美味しかったです。
結局、閉園時間まで遊びました。
帰りもUberタクシーを予約していましたが、かなり道が渋滞していたみたいで予定時間より40分くらい待ちました。
帰りは混み混みで1時間30分くらいかかりました。行くか迷いましたが子どもはすごく楽しかったみたいで、いい思い出になりました。

This was my first time participating in a whale watching tour. I requested a hotel pickup, and the pickup location was at the Hyatt at 7:25 AM. We arrived at 7:10 AM. There were various tour buses coming and going, and starting around 7:20 AM, I began asking the drivers of the arriving buses if they were the one we were supposed to take.

The bus finally arrived at 7:35 AM, and I felt relieved. I informed an elderly couple who were also participating and we boarded the bus. However, we didn’t leave right away; it seemed the staff were waiting for other participants who hadn’t arrived yet. The missing participant showed up at 7:45 AM, and we finally departed. However, at two more pickup locations, we waited for additional participants, and we arrived at the port at 8:50 AM. I was impressed by the staff's dedication in waiting for everyone.

After that, we boarded the boat, but it seemed we were the last ones from the bus, as the other participants had already finished their snacks. I looked for an available seat and took a moment to relax, but I didn’t know where the snack area was. I then noticed that others from our bus had snacks, which helped me find out where the snack area was.

The staff at the snack area were very polite, and when I later asked about the restroom, they kindly explained in English so I could understand. We set sail shortly after, and the other participants began heading to the deck, so I hurried to grab a snack and followed them.

Once on the deck, I was amazed by the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the vastness of the ocean. Just that alone made me feel glad I participated. Thanks to the hard work of the captain and crew, we were able to see whales a few times, even from a distance. I would definitely like to do this again.

今回初めてホエールウォッチしたに参加しました
ホテル送迎でお願いして、ピックアップ場所はハイヤットで7:25でした、私達は7:10に到着しました
そこは様々なツアーバスが入れ替わり立ち替わり来ていて、7:20頃から到着したツアーバスの方に当該バスかを尋ねて行きました
7:35に当該バスが到着して、ほっとして、同じく参加される年配ご夫婦にも伝えてバスに乗り込みました、その後直ぐ出発しなくて、どうやらまだ来てないツアー参加者をスタッフが待っているようでした、7:45にその方が来て漸く出発しました、しかしその後の2か所のピックアップ場所で、来ない参加者を待ち、港に到着したのは8:50でした、スタッフの方の懸命に待つ姿に感銘しました
その後、船に乗船しましたが私達バス参加者が最後のようで、他の参加者は軽食を食べ終わっていました、空いている座る場所を探して、一息ついて軽食の場所が分からず、一緒のバス参加されるが軽食持っている事に気づいて、軽食の場所がわかりました
軽食場所のスタッフは丁寧に対応して下さり、その後にトイレの場所を聞いた時も丁寧に分かるように英語で説明して下さりました
その後直ぐ出航したので、他の参加者は、船のデッキへ向かい始めたので、急いで軽食頂いて後に続きました
デッキに上がるとワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドや海の雄大さに感激しました
これだけでも参加して良かったと思いました
船長始め乗組員達の懸命な働きにより数度遠いながら鯨を見る事が出来ました
またリベンジしたいと思います

I signed up for the tour because I wanted to enjoy authentic hula. The hula dance and fire dance were spectacular and very impressive. In the impersonation show, there were performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and since I belong to the generation that grew up with Michael Jackson, it was great to enjoy both his songs and dance.

本場のフラが楽しめるということで、ツアーを申し込みしました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは圧巻でとても良かったです。
モノマネショーではエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんがパフォーマンスをされていて、特にマイケルジャクソンはドンピシャ世代なので、歌とダンスが楽しめて良かったです。
