All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We had such a great time! The captain and his helpers are so friendly they truly make you feel like you're part of their family, great boat with great food would recommend 10/10.

the food was really good, we had such a great time loved every show, but our favorite was the fire one, definitely recommend!

An hour out, we were all (including crew) worrying we wouldn’t see any whales. Crew had seen 1 in the morning.
Into the 2nd hour 2 beautiful hump back made their appearance. They put on an amazing show for us, with multiple breaches. It was truly a memorable tour!
Crew was so positive, friendly, and informative. They were as happy as we were, with such a stunning “show”.
Bummed my videos wouldn’t load, but you get the gist.

Excellent crew. Trained, attentive, patient with all participants. Useful tips and talented cook.
My super -day 11/21/2022

The meal included delicious options like pork, roast beef, and was very filling! It was great that we could enjoy a variety of meats, fish, and vegetables. The juice was also tasty! During the meal, we were able to watch an aloha dance, and the music created a wonderful atmosphere while we ate! The show featured a whirlwind of dances to various songs, allowing us to really feel the essence of Hawaii, and I was extremely satisfied! It was especially exciting when songs I knew played, which doubled the fun!

ご飯は豚のお肉に、ローストビーフ、美味しいものばかりでボリュームも満点でした！お肉にお魚に野菜に満遍なくいろんな種類を取れるところもよかったです。ジュースも美味しかったです！またご飯の時も、アロハダンスが見られて、音楽がかかって良い雰囲気の中で、ご飯を食べる方ができました！ショーは怒涛の流れでいろんな曲の踊りが見られて、たくさんハワイを感じられて、大満足でしたっ！特に知ってる曲が流れた時には楽しさ倍増でした！

I and my family attended this activity on December 1, 2022. We had a great experience. The food and drinks were delicious. The service was great. Everyone was nice and friendly. The show was outstanding. All the staff and performers did a fantastic job to ensure we had a great time. We enjoyed the experience very much. We recommend this activity to anyone who is thinking about attending a luau in Oahu. The location of this activity is in Waikiki which is very convenient for us. If you are staying in Waikiki, you should definitely give this activity a try.

It was my first time visiting Hawaii and I wanted to watch a hula show. After doing some research, I chose Rock-A-Hula among others because of the location. It was located in the heart of Waikiki so I didn't have to worry about driving and another parking fees. The show is overall great, but I can't really say the same about the sound quality. It's not about the performance quality, but more of a sound system they have in the theatre. I'm a musician myself and may be little sensitive than musician, most people wouldn't tell the difference. (In fact, my parents really loved it). You could see many talented dancers and singers perform and it was the bomb. I highly recommend it!

The week before was said to be cold, but the day I participated had great weather, perfect for activities! The emerald green clarity of the sea was incredible, and depending on the day, the tide was different, so the sandbar was not knee-deep but waist-deep. However, the calm sea allowed for marine activities, and during snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see many fish and a sea turtle near the coral reef, which was amazing. The participants were from various countries, and although the explanations were in English, Jamie, a half-Japanese sister, was fluent in Japanese and helped by providing explanations in Japanese. The half-day tour was so much fun and went by in a flash! I definitely want to participate in this tour again! There were free snacks provided, including drinks, snacks, and fruit. The hotel pick-up was also on time.

前の週は寒かったそうですが、自分の参加したい日は天候が良くて、絶好のアクティビティ日和でした！海のエメラルドグリーンの透明度が半端なくて、その日によって潮の満ち潮が違うので、サンドバーはひざ丈ではなく、腰の高さはありました。でも静かな海と、マリンアクティビティができて、シュノーケリングでは、珊瑚礁近くに沢山の魚と、海ガメをラッキーにもみることが出来て、最高でした。参加者は色んな国の人達で、英語の説明ですが、ハーフのお姉さんジェイミーが、日本語がペラペラなので、説明も日本語でしてくれて助かりました。とても楽しく半日のツアーがあっという間でした！また是非参加してみたいツアーです！！軽食が無料で付いていてドリンクと、スナックと果物と食べられました。ホテル送迎も時間通りでした。

The food was amazing for a buffet. The welcome cocktail was delicious. I would recommend getting the fish and the pork. The desert was also delicious!

The show was awesome and the drinks during the show were strong. I really liked the music and the performers! There is not a bad seat in the house! The Elvis impersonator was awesome! He should be in a Vegas show! Michael Jackson could of been a little bit better but he was still good.

Our server Kyle was excellent and was awesome during the show!

They do have an after party with good music that goes late into the night.

I would recommend getting their early to get a better seat and to be able to get food first.

This is the best luau on Oahu and would recommend this show to everyone. We will definitely be back for the great food, awesome entertainment and superior hospitality.

Aloha!

Great tour! My husband and I really enjoyed it. He doesn’t typically get i to the water from any boat but he did at the sandbar. I loved the snorkel part for myself. The food was great and good selection of alcoholic drink options. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!!!

I made a reservation to see a hula show on my last night in Hawaii. The venue was just the right size, and I was able to see it up close. There were hula performances by different age groups and special appearances by celebrities, which made it very enjoyable. The food was plentiful, with lots of meat! The fruits and desserts were also delicious.

ハワイの最後の夜にフラのショーを見たくて予約しました。
会場もちょうど良い規模感で目の前で見れました。
年代別のフラのショーや有名人の演出などなどありとても楽しかったです。
お料理もお肉がたくさんでボリューム満点！
フルーツとデザートも美味しかったです。

This is a cruising experience around Waikiki from the beach in front of Sheraton Waikiki. The interaction between the captain and another crew member creates an extraordinary cruising experience.

シェラトンワイキキ前の ビーチから ワイキキを 一周するクルージングです。キャプテンともう一人の クルーの掛け合いと 異次元に感じる
クルージング感激です。

It was great to have a personal tour with Travis. He was an excellent guide and driver. Showed us such great sights and his knowledge of Oahu was fantastic. The ocean around Oahu is so breathtaking. The colors are amazing. Good food trucks also. Travis knows all the hot spots. Definitely 5 stars.

The food was delicious, and I felt that the tasty dishes were truly enjoyable. The chicken and pork had strong flavors, but I found them to be delicious! Since it was a buffet, I could take only what I wanted, which was just right. The desserts were especially tasty and featured Hawaiian-style cuisine. During the buffet, the dancers kept the atmosphere lively, which was fun. We moved to a hall in the same building for the show, where we enjoyed an authentic hula while reflecting on Hawaii's history. There were some songs in the impersonation show that I didn't quite understand, but each song was short, so I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. I experienced this with my husband on our honeymoon, and we both had a great time! However, since the seats are close together, it's necessary for everyone to take their own infection prevention measures. Also, the indoor areas in Hawaii are air-conditioned, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes. I found a light cardigan to be just right! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

食事はおいしいものはおいしいと言った感じです
特にチキンや豚は味が濃いですが私はおいしかったです！
バイキングなので欲しいものだけ取ることができたので丁度よかったです
特にデザートが美味しく、ハワイらしい料理でした
バイキング中もダンサーさんが盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです
ショーは同じ館内のホールに移動してハワイの歴史を振り返りながら本格的なフラを見ました
モノマネショーはよく分からない曲もありましたがどの曲も短く飽きが来なかったので楽しく見ることができました
今回ハネムーンで夫と体験しましたが2人とも楽しめました！
ただ席が近いので感染対策は各自で行う必要があります
あとハワイの室内はエアコンがきいているので羽織るものを持参した方がオススメです
私は薄手のカーディガンが丁度よかったです！
楽しい体験をありがとうございました

I participated in a tour with Captain Bruce. Half of the participants were Japanese, and there were both a Japanese guide and an English guide, providing thorough explanations without any difficulties. Although it was low tide and the water level was about waist-deep, unfortunately, we couldn't see the beach. However, the weather was nice, and during the final snorkeling session, we encountered a honu! It was a very satisfying tour.

キャプテンブルースさんのツアーに参加しました。
半分は日本の方々で、日本語ガイドさんと英語のガイドさんがおり特に不自由なく、丁寧な説明がありました。
干潮の時間帯ではありましたが、腰くらいの水位で残念ながら砂浜は見れませんでしたが、天気も良く、最後のシュノーケリングではホヌと遭遇!
とても満足できるツアーでした。

I participated in my honeymoon trip. The explanation for the order of going to the buffet was a bit unclear, but I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. The food was delicious. By the way, there were mostly international guests, and I was a bit anxious about the few Japanese participants, but a dancer with ties to Japan was very considerate.

We were seated in the second floor, but we were only about 10 meters away from the stage, so we had a great view. The show featured performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, and the final fire show was incredibly impressive.

It turned out to be the best trip to Hawaii!

新婚旅行で参加しました。
ビュッフェを取りに行く順番の説明が少し分かりにくかったですが、色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。料理は美味しかったです。ちなみに、ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、日本にゆかりのあるダンサーが気遣いをしてくれました。
ショーは２階席でしたが、ステージから10メートルくらいしか離れておらず、とてもよく見えました。ショーにはプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンも出てきましたし、ファイナルのファイヤーショーは迫力満点でした。
最高のハワイ旅行になりました！

It became a great memory! However, the sandbar was mostly underwater, so that was a bit disappointing since it was just nature.

いい思い出になりました！
ただサンドバーがほとんど海だったので
そこだけが自然相手なので仕方ないですが
残念でした(꒦ິ⌑꒦ີ)

My wife and I are in Honolulu for our honeymoon and we cannot have picked a better Luau. The dinner and show is conveniently located in Waikiki, central to all the shopping and hotels. We were happily greeted by the staff right from checking in and the performers, hosts, servers were also very nice. They go above and beyond to make sure that every guest has a great experience. The buffet dinner had a lot of variety of foods that cater to everyone. After dinner, we headed into the theatre for the show. They took us through the history of Hawaii with music and dancing which was very entertaining. All the performers were truly talented. Especially the fire dancing! We would highly recommend this to our friends and families.

A fabulous experience from beginning to end! Our Captain Crystal was knowledgeable, fun, professional and made the excursion one of our biggest highlights of our vacation! Thank you Crystal!!!

This sunset dinner cruise was a truely amazing experience for myself and my partner.
The three course dinner was ok, the appetiser and dessert were nothing special, but the main meal was incredible!!! We both couldn’t get enough of the crab!
The dancers were all very talented and was great entertainment onboard.
The singer and his niece also provided great entertainment in between meals.
The fireworks towards the end was also an amazing experience I will not soon forget.
One thing that stopped this from being a 5-star experience was that we were sat opposite a random couple on the same table as us, making this ‘date night’ a lot more awkward than we had expected.

It was a full moon and low tide, which should have been about 1 ft, but when I got there, the water level was up to an adult's waist. It turns out that achieving a perfect low tide with white sand is quite miraculous.

The ocean in Hawaii in November was colder than I expected, and Japanese tourists quickly got back on the boat. It seemed like Westerners stayed in the water a bit longer since they tend to have lower body temperatures.

When we arrived, it was gloomy due to the rain, but about 20 minutes after reaching the heavenly sea, the sun came out. You really can't know what Hawaii's ocean is like until you experience it.

There is a staff member who speaks Japanese, so it's okay if you don't understand English. As others have mentioned, on the way back, they stop by the famous malasada food truck "Leonard's." While there's a long line at the store on the Waikiki side, you don't have to wait here, which is great!

満月で干潮、１ｆｔのはずだったけれど、現地に行ってみたら大人の腰の高さの水位。
やはり、白砂の上がる完璧な干潮は、かなり奇跡に近いことが分かる。
11月のハワイの海は思ったより寒く、日本人観光客は早々にボートに上がってきました。欧米人は体温が低いので、わりと長く海に入っていたように思います。
現地に着いた時は、雨でどよーんとしていたが、天国の海に着いて20分程したら晴れ間が。ハワイの海は行ってみたいと分からないものです。
クルースタッフには、日本語を話すお姉さんがいるので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫。他の人も書いていましたが、帰りにマラサダの名店「レナーズ」のフードトラックに寄ってくれます。ワイキキ側の店舗では買うのに行列ですが、ここは並ばなくて良いので◎。

We saw dolphins and whales. The crew was fun and easygoing.

So much fun . Easy to book and get on the boat. Such a nice staff. Would go again.

I was waiting near the lobby of the designated hotel for the morning gathering, but it seems I was at the wrong location (it was actually next to the lobby, in the parking space on Kaiulani Avenue), so I kept everyone waiting a bit.

On the way to Sandbar, the driver introduced various shops visible from the car window. It seems that malasadas were recommended, and we were able to stop by Leonard's food truck on the way back to purchase some.

Upon arrival, a representative from Captain Bruce's provided a thorough explanation, and there was someone who spoke Japanese as well.

We moved to the boat, and while we were required to take off our shoes, we were allowed to keep our reef shoes on.

The boat had snacks, juice, and warm drinks available, and everyone was free to eat and drink as they pleased.

Everyone started snorkeling at the same time. Since there were many people, those at the front were kicked or bumped into. There is a designated swimming area, but I recommend keeping a good distance from others within that area. The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles several times!

After swimming for a while, I accidentally swallowed a lot of seawater and started to feel a bit unwell. A woman from Captain Bruce's came over to check on me, and I was able to rest on a float, which was a great help. When we returned to the boat, it was really cold. I think it would be good to have a jacket that can get wet and a few larger towels. There are warm drinks available, but you'll want to go to the restroom... By the way, there is one shared restroom on the boat. I didn't use it myself (laughs).

After that, I lightly experienced stand-up paddleboarding, but towards the end, it was so cold that I was huddled on the boat (laughs).

The sea was very beautiful, and snorkeling was fun. The only disappointment was that we couldn't walk on the beach due to high tide.

朝集合の際、指定ホテルのロビー近くで待っていましたが、場所が違ったようで(実際はロビー横、カイウラニアベニューの駐車スペース)少し待たせてしまいました。
サンドバーへ向かう途中、運転手の方が車窓から見える色んなお店を紹介してくれました。マラサダがオススメのようで帰りにレナーズのワゴン車(キッチンカー？)に寄ってくれて購入できました。

到着するとキャプテンブルースの方が一通りの説明をしてくれて、日本語を話せる方もいました。
船に移動し、靴は脱ぐことになっていましたがリーフシューズは履いたままでOKでした。

船にはお菓子やジュース、温かい飲み物が置いてあり、みんな自由に食べたり飲んだりしていました。

シュノーケルから全員スタート。
一斉にスタートしたので人数が多く、始めの方は前の人に蹴られたりひました。泳げるエリアが決まっていますが、その中でもうまく距離を取ることをおすすめします。笑
海がとても綺麗で何度かウミガメを見ることもできました！
しばらく泳いだ後、たくさん海水を飲んでしまい少し気分が悪くなってしまったときに、キャプテンブルースの女性が声をかけてくれ、浮き輪に乗せてもらい休憩することごでき助かりました。
その後船に戻るととにかく寒かったです。持ち物にある濡れてもいい上着、あと大き目のタオルは何枚かあると良いと思いました。温かい飲み物もありますがトイレに行きたくなってしまうので…。
ちなみに船には共有トイレが1つあります。自分は使用しませんでした(笑

その後軽くサップも体験しましたが、最後の方は寒くてずっと船でうずくまっていました(笑)

海はとても綺麗でした。シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
残念だったのは満潮で砂浜を歩けなかったことくらいです。

I was a bit anxious because there were mostly foreign participants and few Japanese attendees, but it was great that the luau buffet menu had Japanese descriptions. I was able to enjoy various Hawaiian dishes. A welcome drink was included, but any additional orders would incur extra charges. The roast beef and pork dishes were carved right in front of us. There were also desserts. Even from the second-floor seating, the show was very visible, but since both the show and buffet prioritize VIPs, I thought it might be worth paying for that. During the show, the Japanese attendees were wearing masks. The impersonations, hula, and fire dance were incredibly powerful and exciting, and I was glad to participate and feel the essence of Hawaii.

ほぼ海外の方で日本人の参加は少なくて不安でしたが、ルアウビュッフェメニューは日本語表記があったためよかったです。色々なハワイ料理を楽しめました。ウェルカムドリンクも1杯ついていて、それ以降注文する場合は別途お金がかかります。ローストビーフと豚料理は目の前で切り分けてくれました。デザートもあります。二階席でもショーはとてもよく見えましたが、ショーもビュッフェもVIP優先の順番になるため課金してもいいかなと思いました。ショー中は日本人の方はマスクをしていました。ものまねやフラ、ファイヤーダンスなどすごい迫力と盛り上がりで、参加してハワイを感じられてよかったです。

I participated once before the COVID-19 pandemic and had a very valuable experience, so I joined again after about three years! On the day I participated, the wind was strong and the waves were high, which reduced the water's clarity. As a result, when the honu dove, it quickly became hard to see them, and I didn't spot them as often as during my previous visit. However, I was able to see a few honu, and just as I was about to head back to the boat, I spotted a large pod of dolphins in the distance. One of them jumped high like in a dolphin show, and I was so excited! Just when I thought the excitement couldn't get any better, the pod of dolphins started swimming towards us, and in the end, I was able to swim with the dolphins too! It was the best experience to encounter both honu and dolphins!

コロナ禍前に一度参加し、大変貴重な体験ができたため、約3年ぶりに参加させて頂きました！
私が参加した日は風が強く波が高かったため、海の透明度が低く、ホヌが潜ってしまうとすぐに見えなくなってしまい、前回参加した際よりもホヌを見える回数があまり多くありませんでした。しかし、何度かホヌを見ることができたため、船に戻ろうとしたところ、遠くにイルカの大群を見つけ、一匹はイルカショーのように大きくジャンプしてくれて、大興奮していました！大興奮していたのも束の間、だんだんとイルカの大群が私たちの方に泳いできて、最終的にはイルカとも泳ぐことができました‼︎
ホヌもともイルカとも出会えて最高の体験でした‼︎

The pickup was on time, and there were no stops along the way to the destination. However, I had booked a transfer and admission ticket package, but the local list only showed the transfer. Since I had printed the voucher and brought it with me, I was able to show it to the local staff and receive my admission ticket, resolving the issue. I will use this service again.

ピックアップ予定時間通りにピックアップしていただけ、途中、立ち寄りもなく目的地への送迎をしていただけました。
ただ、送迎と入場券のコースを予約していましたが、現地のリストでは送迎のみになっていました。
バウチャーを印刷して持参していたので、それを現地係員に見せて、入場券をもらうことが出来て、問題解決です。
また利用します。

Staff was awesome. Boat was comfortabe and accommodating. There were eight of us and we had a great time. Plenty of snacks and food.

It was disappointing that the planetarium was closed, possibly still due to the effects of COVID-19, but there were more exhibits than I expected, and the content was rich. I would like to visit again on a day when there are hula lessons.

まだコロナの影響があるのか、プラネタリウムが休止中で残念でしたが、思ってた以上に展示物が多く充実した内容でした。フラレッスンがある日にまた訪れたいです。

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.
