All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I participated in October, and it wasn't cold, so I didn't need to rent a wetsuit. The bus ride to and from the location might have been colder due to the air conditioning. The seawater felt a bit cooler than Waikiki Beach.

I attended with my mother, who is in her 70s, but it seemed like we inflated her life jacket too much, causing her to float on her back and not be able to snorkel properly. There was a stick-like flotation device on the boat, and I thought we should have borrowed that from the beginning.

Also, the vegetable wrap for lunch came with sauce, but it was filled with tasteless beans, which was quite disappointing.

That said, we were able to see a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, and above all, we enjoyed the magnificent scenery. The staff were cheerful and kind, and the singing and dancing were fun; I especially found the male hula dance interesting since it was my first time seeing it.

However, it was unfortunate that the floor wasn't very clean and the restroom had a persistent odor.

10月の参加でしたが寒くなく、ウェットスーツは借りなくて大丈夫でした。行き帰りのバスの方が冷房が寒いかもしれません。海水はワイキキビーチより少々冷たい感じでした。
70代の母と参加しましたがライフジャケットに空気を入れすぎたのか浮力でくるくると上を向いてしまってうまくシュノーケリングできませんでした。
船に棒状の浮き具がありましたので、それを最初からお借りすればよかったと思いました。
あとお昼のベジタブルラップはソースはついているものの無味の豆が沢山入っていて何とも微妙でした。。
ともあれイルカの群れもウミガメも見れましたし、なにより雄大な風景が楽しめました。
スタッフの方も明るく親切で歌やダンスも楽しく、特に男性フラダンスは初めて見たので面白かったです。
ただ床があまりきれいではなかったのとトイレが終始匂っていたのは残念でした。

The pick up from he hotel was seamless and boarding the cruise ship was quick. Table service was slow but the food was excellent. The sunset and following fireworks was a great experience and I would recommend this adventure

This was well worth the money, amazing place, beautiful rainforest, you will get a little wet, and muddy, bring water, our driver Mathew K was great, got us there safe, had water for us at the end, would definitely do it again.

I didn't have high expectations due to the half-price campaign, but I was overwhelmed by the performers' professional skills. I thought there would be many songs I wouldn't know due to the age range, but the structure kept me engaged, and the Hawaiian hula and fire dance lifted my spirits.

It was even more impressive when I met the performer Michael J at McDonald's the night after next.

半額キャンペーンであまり期待していませんでしたが、演者さんのプロの技術に圧倒されました。年代的にも知らない曲が多いかと思っていましたが飽きさせない構成とハワイらしいフラやファイアーダンスに気持ちが高揚しました。
翌々日の夜のマクドナルドでマイケルJの演者さんに会ったのがより印象的でした。

From our pick up in Waikiki to drop off our trip was wonderful!
The team on the catamaran was friendly , knowledgeable & fun.
We will definitely book again next time we are back .

I had always wanted to see this, and it lived up to my expectations! The performance is themed around a unique aspect of Hawaiian history!

ずっと観てみたいと思っていまいしたが実現、期待通りのパフォーマンスでした！他とは違うハワイの歴史をテーマに演出されています！

The hospitality with free drinks before entering the venue, the solo guitar before it started, and the entire experience from beginning to end was very moving and created the best memories! I want to see it again!

会場に入る前のフリードリンクなどのおもてなし、始まる前のソロギター、最初から最後までとても感動的で最高の思い出になりました！
もう一度観たいです！

Everything about the day and evening was terrific ☺️

The sunset was also atmospheric, and the performances, music, and food were delicious. You can also see fireworks before returning to port. I recommend it for newlyweds and couples.

サンセットもムードありますし、演奏や音楽、食事も美味しかったです。帰港前には花火も見られます。新婚さんやカップルにはおすすめです。

It started to rain after we got on the boat, and even though it cleared up, the view wasn't very beautiful. I felt like the time went by shorter than I expected. The staff were kind, which was nice.

船に乗ってから雨が降ってきてしまって晴れたけどあまり綺麗に見えなかった。。
思ったより時間が短く感じた。
スタッフの方は優しくてよかった。

I thought the cheapest seats might be far away, but that wasn't the case at all. It was very easy to see and I really enjoyed it. There were laughs and touching moments, and I'm glad I went! I highly recommend it.

1番安い席で遠いかなぁと思ったけれど、全然そんな事はなくてとても観やすく楽しめました。笑いあり感動ありで観に行って良かったです!!おすすめです。

At the snorkeling spot provided, there are always turtles, and you can capture photos of them. The coral itself isn't very beautiful, but encountering turtles is a rare experience in Japan, making it worthwhile. You can also enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but this time the water depth wasn't suitable for a sandbar, so it might be necessary to choose the right season.

付属のシュノーケリング場所には必ず亀がいて写真に納めることが出来ます。
サンゴ自体は綺麗ではないけど亀に出会えるのは日本ではなかなか無いので良い経験です。
SUPも楽しめますが、今回はサンドバーとは言えない深さの水深でしたので時期を選ぶ必要はあるかもです。

I made a reservation for a day I could go, so I wasn't quite sure where the sandbar was since the sea was quite deep, but the scenery was dreamily beautiful, and I was very satisfied to see sea turtles! Even if you get tired from swimming, you can take a break on the boat, and you have quite a bit of freedom to enjoy your time on-site. There were light snacks provided, which gave it a picnic-like excitement. Since the food was available at any time, we ate when we came back to the boat for a break. The driver who picked us up also gave us a tour of the area while driving, making the journey enjoyable! I want to go again!

行ける日にちに予約したのでけっこう海が深くてどこがサンドバーなのかよくわかりませんでしたが夢のように美しい景色が広がっており、ウミガメも見れたので大満足です！
泳ぎ疲れても船で休憩したり、現地では割と自由に過ごせます。
軽食がついており、ピクニックのようなウキウキ感がありました。
いつでも食べられるようになってるので私たちは休憩に船に上がって来た時に食べました。
送迎のドライバーさんも周辺を案内しながら送ってくれるので道中も楽しく過ごせました！
また行きたいです！

I was worried about the pickup location, but I confirmed it the day before, so I was able to arrive on time. The shallow sea was amazing; I could see beautiful fish underwater while standing, and it wasn't scary at all.

ピックアップ場所が心配でしたが、前日に確認したので遅れずに行けました。
遠浅の海で、足が付いた状態でも海中にいる綺麗なお魚が見えて怖くなくて最高でした。

Unfortunately, I'm not good at English and can hardly speak or understand it, but my desire to see a powerful luau won out, and I decided to participate! I'm really glad I joined. The spectacular show was breathtaking! The staff were considerate of us, who struggle with English, and even though we were late returning, they kindly called out to us at the nearest bus stop. I was able to feel the Hawaiian atmosphere and culture, and it became a wonderful memory. ^_^

残念ながら英語が苦手で、話すことも聞き取ることもほとんどできないのですが、迫力のあるルアウが観たい気持ちが勝り、参加を決めました！
参加して本当によかったです。
迫力満点のショーは圧巻でした！
スタッフの方が英語が苦手な私たちを気遣ってくれ、帰りは遅くなりましたがバスも最寄りで声を掛けてくれるなど最後まで親切でした。ハワイらしい雰囲気や文化を感じることができ、とても良い思い出になりました^_^

I don't speak English, but I had no problems with the pick-up and drop-off. I had requested a life jacket via email the day before, so it was smoothly provided. The timing for playing at Hanauma Bay was just right.

私は英語ができませんが何も問題なく送迎してもらいました。ライフジャケットも前日にメールでお願いしていたのでスムーズに貸してもらえました。ハナウマ湾で遊ぶには時間も丁度いい感じでした。

The sunset, the night view of Waikiki, the food, the gathering of people from around the world, the singing and performances, the staff's service—everything was great. Since it was Friday, there were also fireworks. I received a commemorative photo, so I want to share this story with my family while showing them the picture.

夕焼け、ワイキキの夜景、料理、世界の人が集まっている状況、歌と演奏、スタッフのサービス、すべて良かった。金曜日だったので花火もあった。記念写真をいただいたので、家族に見せながらこの話をしたいと思います。

The sandbar was very beautiful, and I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle. Those who had booked the same time as us were split into two boats, and we enjoyed snorkeling and free time at different times.

After receiving an explanation about snorkeling, my mother asked, "Is it okay for me to go since I can swim?" and was told firmly, "We can't know if you can swim or not. You have to decide for yourself." This made her anxious, and she decided not to go. Since this trip was meant to be a way to show appreciation to my mother, seeing her sad face after being spoken to so coldly made me really sad.

Everyone else went snorkeling, so while we were waiting, a staff member from another boat came over and said that if she could swim, she could join the snorkeling group. They also offered paddleboards and floaties, but all of that was from the other boat. There was no encouragement from the staff on my boat for those who weren't going snorkeling at that time.

I understand that they need to be strict to prevent accidents and that they can't take responsibility, but I wish I could have experienced it with the staff from the other boat who communicated in a kinder way. It was disappointing.

サンドバーはとても綺麗で運よくカメに出会うことができました。
同じ時間に船を予約してい方が二つの船に別れており、
時間を変えてシュノーケリングとフリー時間を楽しむ形でした。

シュノーケリングの説明を受けた後に、「泳げるから行っても大丈夫かな？」と母が質問したところ「あなたが泳げるかどうかは私たちにはわからないから。自分で決めて。」と強く言われ、不安になってやめました。親孝行で行った旅行だったので冷たく言われ悲しそうな顔をする母を見てすごく悲しくなりました。

私たち以外はみんな行っていたので時間を潰していると別の船のスタッフの方が話しかけてくれて、泳げるなら泳げる人の捕まっていけばシュノーケリングも大丈夫だよ。と案内してくれました。暇そうにしているとサップや浮き輪も案内してくれましたが、全部別の船の方。私が乗った船の方からはシュノーケリングに行っていない人へその時これしてていいよ〜など声掛けはありませんでした。

もちろん事故に遭わないために強くいうことや責任をが取れないことも承知していますが、これなら優しく伝えてくれる別の船の方で体験したかったなと思い残念でした。

I was seated towards the back, but I had a great time. However, I think the seats in the front had more impact, and during interactive parts, being in the front might be more enjoyable. But overall, I had enough fun, and it ended in the blink of an eye.

後ろの方の席だったのですが、とても楽しめました。
でも、前のほうのがもっと迫力があったと思うし、参加型の時は、前にいたほうが楽しめるかも？
でもデモ、充分楽しめましたし、あっという間に終わってしまいました。

Since I was seated at the edge in the front row, I thought I wouldn't be able to see well, but the theater is small, so you can enjoy it from any seat. The performance was truly immersive and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The price is relatively high, but it's definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.

前方のはじっこ席だったので、よく見えないだろうと諦めてましたが、劇場が小さいので、どこの席からでも十分楽しめます。
本当に臨場感あふれるパフォーマンスで終始ハラハラドキドキでした。
料金はそれなりに高いけど十分価値があります。おすすめ。

A beautiful night. Great food. Great entertainment. Saw the spectacular fire works and the skyline night lights of Waikiki. Drinks included in the package was a bonus.

They were so friendly and very engaging you didn’t feel rushed or pressured! It was so relaxing and the guides did a great job pointing out cool animals on the reef we probably would have missed! Definitely worth it!

If you’re worried about this being overly commercialized, crowded, or having a crew that is just going through the motions…you’d be pleasantry wrong! This is a must do.

This luau far exceeded our expectations!
The entire show is very well put together. The ambiance is incredible. The staff was amazing. We were greeted with hospitality the entire time. The food was delicious.
Not only did we get a great show with all the dancers, fire twirling, and music, we also got the history of the culture and people behind it all.
On top of that, they also threw in humor.
It was highly entertaining!
This show is a must see! It does not disappoint!

I looked at various reviews and checked the tide before going. I had a lot of fun paddleboarding and snorkeling. Izumi-san (a Japanese person) explained everything, so it's totally fine even if you don't understand English. About 70% of the participants were Japanese. Since it's a place you can only reach by boat, the price might be reasonable, but since the playtime is only about two hours, it would be nice if it were a bit longer. There was also a simple toilet available.

It was my first time snorkeling, but the water was murky, and there were only black fish that looked like carp. I heard there were sea turtles, but I didn't see any. Some people say it's really beautiful, but I think it's better not to have high expectations.

I only took cash for tips as valuables, but I forgot the bus tip (1 dollar), so it's better to bring both the crew tip and the bus tip.

On the way back, since you return in your swimsuit, it's good to wear something over it.

Having a waterproof case for your smartphone is convenient, but the screen reflects and is hard to see, so the images I took were pretty unclear. At one point, it overheated and I got a warning about high temperatures, so I couldn't use it for a while.

I thought the bus would take me right to the hotel, but the area is large, and the bus stop is hard to find, so it's necessary to check in advance. There’s a waiting area for various tour bus stops, so if you’re not waiting there, they might not find you, so please be careful.

口コミを色々見て、
潮位を調べて行きました。
サップしたりシュノーケリングしたり
とても楽しかった。イズミさん？（日本人）が説明してくれるので、英語わからなくても全然大丈夫です。参加してたのも70%が日本人でした。船でしか行けない場所なので、妥当な金額かもしれないけど、遊ぶのは2時間くらいなので、もう少し長くてもいいかな〜
簡易トイレみたいなのも付いてましたよ。

シュノーケリングは、初めてでしたが、
海の中は、濁っていて、黒いフナ？みたいな魚しかいません笑
海ガメもいたみたいですが
わたしは見れませんでした。
すごくキレイと口コミしてる人もいますが
そこは、期待しない方がいいでしょう。

貴重品は、チップの現金しか持って行きませんでしたが、バスのチップ（1ドル）忘れてたので、クルーのチップ➕バスのチップだけ持った方がいいです。

帰りは、水着のまま帰るので、その上から
着られる服で行くのが、いいです。

スマホは、防水ケースがあると便利ですが
反射して画面が見えないので、
撮った画像がさっぱりわからないのと、
途中熱くなりすぎて、
初めて高音注意⚠️みたいになって、
少しの間、使えなくなりました。

ホテルの前まで、バスで来てくれると
思っていましたが、敷地が広くて
バス乗り場が分かりずらいので、
事前に確認が必要です。
色々なツアーのバス乗り場の
待合い室みたいなところがあるので
そこで待っていないと
見つけてもらえないので
気をつけてください。

I was very relieved to have someone who spoke Japanese on the boat. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was surprised. The water was shallow enough to my thighs, so I could play without worry. After putting on a life jacket, I swam in a spot that was about 10 meters deep. I was glad to see several sea turtles.

日本語を話せる方が船にいらっしゃったので、とても安心でした。海がとても綺麗でびっくりしました。太ももくらいの水深だったので安心して遊べました。ライフジャケットを着た後は、水深10メートルくらいの場所を泳ぎました。ウミガメを何匹もみれて良かったです。

It was a performance by superhumans who are truly well-trained, showcasing an incredible series of acts. There was a moment during the transitions between performances where audience participation was involved, and to my surprise, I was chosen to go on stage. I think my performance was a bit clumsy, but the excitement of the crowd made it a wonderful memory. I would love to go see it again!

超絶パフォーマンスの連続でさすがに鍛えられている超人たちの演技でした。
演目のつなぎでオーディエンス参加の場面がありますがまさかの私が指名され
舞台へ。拙いパフォーマンスだったと思いますが観衆の盛り上がりで良い思い出に
なりました。
また見に行きたいなぁ。

Thanks to Jamie, our savior who understands English, we were able to fully enjoy stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling! Especially, when he asked my 14-year-old daughter if she could swim, and she replied that she wasn't very good at it, he made sure to assign a staff member to help her. She was so happy to see a turtle! On the way back, when she felt seasick, he brought her ginger ale, and after drinking it, she felt completely better, which became a great memory as well! Thank you so much!

英語がわからないわたし達の救世主、ジェイミーさんのお陰でsupやシュノーケリングを存分に楽しめました！
特に14歳の娘に対して、泳げる？と聞いてくれ、あまり得意でないと答えるとちゃんとスタッフさんをつけてくれ、娘もカメが見えた！と大喜び。帰り船酔いした時も、ジンジャーエールがいいよ！と持ってきてくれ、それを飲んだらスッカリ良くなったようでそれもいい思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

The theater was beautiful and easy to see, and I was able to enjoy it slowly. Elvis and Michael were really funny! I was out of breath from laughing too much!

劇場も綺麗で見やすく、ゆっくり楽しめました。
エルビス、マイケル、めっちゃおもろい！
息切れしすぎ笑

This is a very enjoyable performance that expresses the history of the gradual transition from the era of indigenous people to modern society, incorporating circus elements. The circus acts range from thrilling to heartwarming and even enchanting, showcasing a variety of genres, making it a lot of fun. I was even invited on stage to participate in the show, which was a wonderful experience and very enjoyable. After the show, another audience member said to me, "Nice Japan!!" If you're an adult, the front row seats can be a bit pricey, but I highly recommend them. You can see the performers' expressions up close, enhancing your enjoyment of the show. For those with children, sitting a bit further back is advisable, as the view of the circus itself may be obstructed from the front.

原住民が活躍していた時代から、徐々に現代社会になっていく歴史を表現しながらサーカスを交えていくとても楽しい舞台です。サーカスの技もヒヤヒヤするものからほっこりするもの、妖艶なものと様々なジャンルが繰り広げられ、とても楽しいです。私は、舞台にも上げていただきショーに参加させていただきました。とても良い経験になりましたし、とても楽しかったです。ショーの後には別の観客の方から「Nice Japan!!」と声をかけていただきました。大人だけの参加であればちょっとお高いですけど最前列（フロントローシート）おすすめです。出演者の表情まで見えてより舞台が楽しめます。子どもがいる方は、近すぎてサーカス自体が見えにくい可能性がありますので少し後ろの席がおすすめです。
