All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

You might be asking yourself if a sunset Cruise is worth it. I asked myself the same thing. I went with my wife and some family and had a great time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was really good and had lots of options. The shows were very entertaining and some where quite funny thanks to the performers. Then the sunset was great. We went on a Wednesday and it was not many people. Felt almost like we had the entire ship to ourselves. Super fun experience overall.

I appreciated the audio guidance in Japanese available on the shuttle bus and inside the cruise ship. Unfortunately, the real-time announcements regarding whale sightings and the sea conditions that day (explanations from the captain and guides) were difficult to understand without knowledge of English.

During the whale watching, we moved to the deck where we could watch the whales in sync with the surrounding movements. Thanks to the three-story large ship, the deck and interior were windy and choppy, but it didn't sway as much as I expected. When a whale surfaced and spouted water, there was a cheer, and everyone got excited beyond words. It was truly moving to see a whale up close.

I think even someone like me, who only understands a bit of English, can manage just fine. It was a very enjoyable experience.

行きの送迎バスの中やクルーズ船内でも一通りの音声ガイダンス日本語案内があり、ありがたかったです。
残念なのは、鯨の出没の際の説明や当日の海の状態などリアルタイムの案内（船長とガイドの説明）は、英語が理解できないと何を言っているのかよくわかりませんでした。
鯨ウォッチングのタイミングの時は周りの動きに合わせて鯨ウォッチングできるデッキに移動しました。
デッキや船内は３階建ての大型船のおかげで風が強く波立っていましたが思ったより揺れませんでした。
鯨が潮を吹きながら頭を出した際は歓声が上がり、言葉を超えてみんなで盛り上がりました。鯨を目の当たりにできたのはとても感動です。
私のように片言英語しかわからない状態でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。
とても楽しい体験ができました。

I was able to see whales.

It all depends on the whales and luck, but I was able to see them jumping in the distance and swimming nearby.

If I have the opportunity, I would like to participate again.

クジラを見ることができました。

全てはクジラ次第で時の運ですが、遠くでジャンプ姿、近くで泳ぐ姿を確認でした。

機会があればまた参加したいです。

We were blessed with clear weather and boarded the boat with the guarantee of seeing whales, but all we caught a glimpse of was a faint black object in the distance, and we couldn't tell if it was a whale or not... However, we did encounter a pod of dolphins! It seems that we still get to say we "saw" something. Since it's nature, it can't be helped, but I recommend participating with the mindset of "it would be lucky if we see something" rather than having too high expectations.

晴天に恵まれ、クジラが見られる保証付きということで期待して乗船しましたが、遠くの方に微かに黒い物体がチラッと見えただけでクジラかどうかも分からず…その代わりにイルカの群れに遭遇することはできましたが！
それでも一応は「見えた」という扱いになってしまうようです。自然のことなので仕方ないですが、期待し過ぎず「見えたらラッキー」くらいの気持ちで参加することをお勧めします。

I was worried about seasickness, but I took some motion sickness medication and participated. I also bought a wristband that claims to help with seasickness, which was sold on the boat for $20, and wore it! I enjoyed myself without feeling any seasickness at all! The sandbar was deeper than I expected, with water up to the waist of an adult. It started to rain partway through, but even so, as we continued swimming, the rain eventually stopped. The beauty of the ocean's blue color was not affected at all by the rain or clouds! They also provide wetsuits, which are definitely necessary during the rainy season. It was quite cold. On the way back, I returned in my wet swimsuit, feeling very cold from the wind, so wearing a windbreaker was just right. I also participated in snorkeling, and to my surprise, a sea turtle swam close by! Many beautiful fish came around, and I even spotted a large pufferfish! After snorkeling, we had a BBQ lunch, which was very delicious, making it the best day ever!

船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。酔い止めになると言う船内で20ドルで販売しているリストバンドも購入して、着用！全く船酔いもすることなく楽しめました！サンドバーは思ってたよりも深く、大人の腰ぐらいまでの水深で、途中で雨も降って来たのですが、それでも泳ぎ続けていると、やがて雨も止みました。雨でも曇りでも海の青さ綺麗さには全く問題ありません！ウェットスーツも貸してくれるので、雨季には絶対にあった方がいいです。なかなかの寒さでした。帰りも濡れた水着のまま、風に吹かれて帰るのでとても寒く、ウィンドーブレーカーを羽織って帰ってくるぐらいでちょうどよかったです。シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、なんとホヌが近くまで来て泳いでいました。綺麗な魚もたくさん寄って来てくれて、大きなフグも見かけました！シュノーケリングが終わるとBBQランチをいただきましたが、これがとても美味しくて、最高の1日になりました‼︎

The weather was nice and very beautiful! There was a Japanese instructor who really got everyone excited. First, we anchored the boat in shallow water (about knee to waist deep) and had some time to take photos and practice snorkeling. After that, we moved to a larger coral reef area (a spot that was a bit deeper and had a faster current) to snorkel. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles. When diving into the sea, they provide bread as bait. If you hold that, a lot of fish will come close, so it's a great photo opportunity! The day after heavy rain, the water was a bit murky, but it was still very beautiful.

天気が良くとっても綺麗でした！
日本人インストラクターの方がいて、盛り上げてくれます。
まず浅瀬(膝から腰くらいまで)に船をつけてくれ、写真を撮ったりシュノーケルの練習をする時間があります。
その後に移動し、大きいサンゴ礁のところ(若干流れが早く深い場所)に行き、シュノーケルをします。運が良ければ亀と泳げます。
海に潜る際には餌としてパンを渡してくれます。
それを持っているといっぱい魚が寄ってくるので、シャッターチャンスです！
この日は大雨の次の日だったため、少し水が濁っていましたが、それでもとっても綺麗でした。

It was a bit cold, but I was able to enjoy the sandbar, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding thanks to the wetsuit they lent me. I even got to see a sea turtle. The staff were all smiling and really made the experience enjoyable.

少し寒かったですが、ウェットスーツを貸してもらい、サンドバーやシュノーケル、サップなど楽しむことができました。海がめにも会えました。スタッフの方は皆さん笑顔で盛り上げてくれていましたよ。

I chose a plan that includes transportation to a nearby hotel. The meals are not part of a BBQ plan, but there were quite a few options, including a substantial hamburger set, from six different choices. It might be fine to share one with the kids, so not having a meal might be okay.
We spent the whole day playing in the kids' pool and the wave pool. It was a lot of fun. The wave pool has quite high waves, which made me a bit anxious, but the lifeguards were attentive, so I felt safe.
My daughter was too scared to play in other areas, but even just these two activities were enough.

近くのホテルまで送迎が来るプランを選びました。食事はBBQのプランではありませんが、結構な量のハンバーガーセットなど、6種類から選べました。子供と一つでもいいかもしれないです。なので、食事なしでもいいかも。
子供用のプールや、波のプールなどで1日中遊んでました。とても楽しかったです。波のプールは結構高い波があるので、不安でしたが、監視員の方がちゃんと見ててくれるので安心でした。
その他は、娘が怖がって遊べませんでしたが、この二つだけでも十分でした。

On the day we went, there was seawater at the sandbar, but we had a great time. The water was a bit cold, but I think it's nice that they provide wetsuits for free. The lunch, especially the meat, was delicious. In the afternoon, we also had Leonard's malasadas, which were tasty. During snorkeling, we were able to see several sea turtles. The visibility wasn't extremely good due to the sand, but it was sufficient for snorkeling. The person who assisted us was kind, which was great!

行った日はサンドバーは海水がありましたが、楽しめました。
水は少し冷たかったですが、無料でウエットスーツも貸してもらえるので
いいと思います。
ランチも特にお肉が美味しかったです。
午後はレナーズのマラサダもついていました。美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメを何匹か見ることができました。
透明度は砂があるので、ものすごく良い訳ではないですが、シュノーケリングで見るには十分でした。
担当してくれた方も親切で、良かったです！

Dinner was buffet style, but it was so delicious that it didn't feel like a buffet at all. I was able to enjoy a cute original Mai Tai. There’s also a non-alcoholic Mai Tai available, so those who don’t drink can feel comfortable.

While eating, we got to watch hula dancing, and in the second half of dinner, there was a hula lesson, which made for a wonderful experience. The show was from the second-floor seats, but we were in the middle and had a great view. The performers even came right up to us, and I was moved to receive a towel from them.

I would love to go see it again. Highly recommended!!!

Dinnerはビュッフェスタイルでしたが、ビュッフェとは思えない程の美味しさで最高でした。
お酒も可愛いオリジナルマイタイが飲めました。ノンアルコールマイタイも飲めるので、お酒が飲めない方でも安心です。
また食べながらフラダンスも見れて、
Dinnerの後半にはフラレッスンもあり、とてもいい体験になりました。
ショーは、2階席でしたが真ん中でとてもいい席でした。またパフォーマーも目の前まで来てくれて、タオルもいただき感動です。
また観に行きたいと思いました。
オススメです！！！

It was a two-hour cruise, and we encountered whales. I was a bit surprised because it was not far out at sea, and we could see the hotels in Waikiki. We saw a mother and baby whale, and the baby seemed to be practicing various things, surfacing and diving repeatedly. The mother whale appeared to be swimming alongside, and it was very heartwarming to watch. It was wonderful! ♬

２時間ほどのクルーズでしたが、クジラに出会えました。
そう遠い沖ではなくワイキキのホテル群が見えるようなところだったので、少し驚きました。
出会ったのは親子のクジラで子クジラが色々と練習しているようで何度も何度も顔を出しては潜っていました。お母さんクジラは伴走しているようでとても微笑ましく見入ってしまいました。よかったです♬

I upgraded to the ambassador package and this allowed More time to check out the exciting performances. Chesser made our tour fun and interesting. Had a great overall experience visiting for the first time. Really enjoyed the HA theatrical performance with the amazing fire dancers.

I had a great time spending it with the fun crew and captain. My partner is not fond of cheese, and when we requested a cheeseless hamburger, they kindly prepared it separately, which we really appreciated. I would love to participate again. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales!

クルーやキャプテン楽しい皆さんと一緒に
過ごせ楽しかったです。
パートナーがチーズ苦手でハンバーガーチーズ抜きを依頼していたら、ちゃーんと個別にしてくまさったり、そんな配慮も嬉しかったです。
また、参加したいです。
イルカに亀にクジラに運よく見れました〜

Yes, I was actually brought to tears by seeing these amazing animals so close. I unfortunately didn't get any photos of the whales themselves because I was so mesmerized by them. This Majestic whale watch cruise did a great job of spotting whales and getting closer to them (but not too close). We were able to have amazing sightings of these graceful creatures, even though weather and ocean conditions weren't ideal. I'd do this every single day if I could!

After arriving at the sandbar, we had some time to explore the ocean, but the weather suddenly turned bad, and we got caught in a downpour, which was freezing and terrible. I wish there had been a suggestion to wait since the weather seemed like it was going to get worse.

However, the subsequent sea turtle watching, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding experience were really great, and I was satisfied.

There was a time at the beginning for various explanations, but the Japanese instructor spoke very quickly. When I was struggling with putting on the wetsuit, there were comments like, "You're not listening at all!" which was a bit unpleasant. I recommend wearing a wetsuit.

サンドバーに到着した後、海を散策する時間があるのですが急に天気が悪くなってスコールにあい、体が凍えて最悪でした。
せめて、天候悪くなりそうなので待ちましょうと声掛けが欲しかったです。
その後のウミガメウォッチングとシュノーケリング、サップ体験はすごく良かったですし満足でした。

最初にいろいろと説明される時間がありますが、日本人インストラクターの方が早口で、ウェットスーツの着方に戸惑っていると「人な話全然聞いてない！」等の発言があり少し不快でした。
ウェットスーツを着用されることをお勧めします。

It was a totally Hawaiian experience from the entertainment to the delicious food!
Just an authentic feel with great music all entwined with guest participation and fun!
And through it all we even learned a lot about the culture and people of the islands!
I highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii because the Chief’s Luau is a must see!
My wife and I will never forget it.
Mahalo!

The conditions on the day were poor, but I was able to see it about three times.

When you go out on the deck, there are considerable waves and sudden rain, so it's a good idea to wear something that can get wet or bring a towel.

If you have binoculars, that would be great.

Onboard, soft drinks and coffee are available for $4, and alcohol (Budweiser, wine, etc.) can be purchased for $8.

It is also possible to change to a breakfast option later, which costs $15 for adults and $9 for children.

Since the pickup is early in the morning, it can be chilly. The outside of the boat is also cold, so it's advisable to bring a long-sleeve shirt.

The wind is strong, so it's a good idea to put your hat in your bag to prevent it from blowing away.

当日のコンディションが悪かったが、約3回は見る事が出来た。

デッキに出ると、かなりの波と突然の雨があるので、濡れてもよい格好かタオルなどを用意して行くと良い。

持っていれば、双眼鏡があると良い。

船内では、ソフトドリンクとコーヒーが＄４、アルコール(バドワイザー、ワインなど)が＄８で飲むことが出来る。

後から朝食付きへの変更も可能で、大人は＄１５、子供は＄９で利用出来る。

早朝に送迎なので、肌寒い。
船外も寒いので、長袖を用意すると良い。

風が強く、帽子は飛ばされやすいので、バッグにしまうと良い。

We watched the show from the golden seats with four friends. The performance, including the kahiko, was really enjoyable. I think it was worth the price. I would have been happier if there were a bit more variety in the food, but I did leave feeling full. I definitely plan to bring my family next time and watch the show again.

友達4人で、ゴールデンシートからの観覧
ショーは、カヒコなどもあり男性のパフォーマンスがとっても
楽しかったです。お値段に見合うだけの見ごたえは、あると思います。
食事が、もう少しいろいろな種類があれば嬉しかったけれど
お腹いっぱいには、なりました。
次、家族を連れてきた時も、ぜひ観覧しようと思います

There were slider-type attractions, wave pools, and pools where you can surf. There were quite a variety of options, and it was a lot of fun. The slider attractions are popular, so there may be lines depending on the time.

Lunch was well-stocked with food, drinks, and alcohol. The food mainly consisted of burgers. It gets very crowded during lunchtime, so I recommend purchasing early. There were lockers available, but I thought the prices were a bit high. The park also had restrooms and shower rooms. It was a lot of fun, so I highly recommend it!

スライダー系や波のあるプール、サーフィンが出来るプールなどがありました。
割と種類も多くてとても楽しかったです。
スライダー系は人気ですので時間によっては並びます。

お昼ご飯は充実してていて
ご飯や飲み物、お酒などの取扱がありました。
ご飯は基本バーガー系が多かったです。
お昼の時間帯はすごく並ぶので早めの購入がおすすめです。
ロッカーも設置されていましたが
料金は割高だったかな？と思います。
パーク内にはトイレとシャワールームも完備されていました。
とっても楽しいですのでおすすめです！

Every aspect of the snorkel, Sandbar, volleyball, crew was amazing. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly, but the crew was very cheerful and entertaining. I felt that I should have paid more attention to the fact that in February, you don't really get the feeling of the tide coming in and out unless it's early in the morning. However, it was a tour with delicious food, malasadas, and a lot of enjoyment for Japanese participants!

天気が残念ながら少し寒空でしたが、クルーの方々がとても陽気で楽しませてくれました。
2月は午前の早い時間でないと満ち引きで浅瀬に上がる感じがしないことだけ、ちゃんと見ておけば良かったと感じましたが、美味しいご飯とマラサダと日本人がとても楽しめるツアーでした！

While I was on the boat, the wind was quite cold, but once we reached the sandbar, I was so captivated by the scenery that I forgot about the cold! The water was incredibly clear and beautiful, truly like paradise! It was a famous spot featured on TV and in magazines, so I wanted to experience it at least once, which is why I joined this tour! The guide's stories were really interesting and they were very kind, making the time on the boat a lot of fun! When we arrived at the sandbar, I asked for some photos, and they happily took many for me, even teaching me various poses, which made for wonderful memories! After that, we went turtle watching, and they pointed out where the sea turtles were. I was so moved to see wild sea turtles for the first time. Seeing so many floating turtles was incredibly cute! Afterward, we were served a hamburger lunch, and having lunch on the boat while looking at the sea was the best! It was super delicious!!! I also got to see a lot of fish up close while snorkeling, which felt amazing! It was absolutely fantastic! The weather was a bit chilly, so when I got back on the boat from the sea, it was very cold, but they provided warm drinks, which helped a lot. We got to visit the sandbar, see sea turtles, have lunch on the boat, and snorkel, and the staff were all friendly and kind, making it truly an exceptional tour! I was really happy to have so many experiences on my first trip to Hawaii! I definitely want to join this tour again in the summer or when it's warm! Experiencing the kindness of the people in Hawaii and the beauty of the sea was amazing! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii! If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely want to recommend this tour! I was really happy to participate in such a wonderful tour! Thank you very much! I definitely want to join again!!

船に乗っている時は、風が冷たくて結構寒かったのですが、サンドバーについたら、寒さも忘れるくらい景色に見入ってしまいました！水がすごく透き通っていて、とても綺麗で本当に天国みたいでした！テレビや雑誌などで有名な場所だったので一度は行ってみたくてこのツアーに参加させていただきました！ツアーの方のお話もすごく面白くて、とても優しくて、船に乗っている間もすごく楽しかったです！サンドバーについたときには、お願いをしたら、快く写真をたくさん撮ってくれて、ポーズまで色々教えてくれて、とても素敵な記念になりました！そのあと、ウミガメウォッチングも、ウミガメがいる方向を教えてくれました。はじめて野生のウミガメを見ることが出来てすごく感動しました。プカプカ浮いてるウミガメをたくさん見れてめちゃくちゃ可愛かったです。そのあとは、ハンバーガーのランチを出していただき、海を眺めながら船乗って食べるランチは最高でした！めちゃくちゃ美味しかったです！！！シュノーケルも沢山近くで魚が見れてすごく気持ち良かったです！めちゃくちゃ最高すぎました！気候的にも少し寒かったので、海から船に上がった時はとても寒かったのですが、あったかいドリンクを出してくれて、すごくあったまりました。サンドバーにも行けて、ウミガメも見れて、船の上でランチも食べれて、シュノーケルもできて、スタッフさん達もみんなノリが良くて優しくて本当に至れり尽くせりの最高のツアーでした！はじめてのハワイで、ここまで沢山の体験ができたことは本当に幸せでした！また、是非このツアーで、夏とかあったかいときにまた参加したいなと思いました！！ハワイの方々の優しさと、海の綺麗さに触れられて、最高でした！ハワイ旅行の中でも一番の最高の思い出になりました！周りにハワイに行く友人がいたら、是非紹介したいなと思います！本当に、素敵なツアーに参加できてすごく嬉しかったです！ありがとうございました！また是非参加したいと思います！！

I made a reservation to see the whales that can only be seen during this season! Honestly, after reading the reviews, I was a bit anxious because it seemed like there were days when they appeared and days when they didn't, almost a 50/50 chance.
However, on this day, we were able to see many whales, and the announcements in Japanese were clear, so we could spot them right away!
The weather was also nice, and we could enjoy the view of the town from the sea, making it a pleasant cruise overall!
Since I opted for the shuttle service, I was able to board the boat with priority, which was great! There were plenty of buses on the way back, but since I received a sticker on the way there, I was able to get on the return bus without any confusion!

この時期にしか見られないというクジラを見るために予約しました！正直口コミを見ていると、現れる日もあれば、現れない日もあるようでちょうど半々な感じで不安でした。
ですが、この日はたくさんクジラを見ることができ、日本語でのアナウンスもわかりやすかったため、すぐに見つけることができました！
また天気も良く、街並みも海から眺めることができたので普通にクルーズとしても気持ちよかったです！
送迎付きにしていたため、船にも優先的に乗ることができたのもよかったです！帰りもたくさんバスがありましたが、行きにシールをもらっていたので迷うことなく帰りのバスにも乗ることができました！

There were various water slides, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing day. It was fun to experience attractions that are not commonly seen in Japan!

色んなウォータースライダーがあり、1日ゆっくり楽しむことができました
日本ではあまり見かけないアトラクションもあり楽しかったです！

We enjoyed a cruise with our family. We were very satisfied as we were able to see whales multiple times within the allotted time. The shuttle service was also clear and timely, which was great.

家族でクルーズ船に乗って楽しませていただきました。時間内に何度も鯨を見る事が出来てとても満足です。送迎車も時間内でわかりやすく良かったです。

I participated with my husband, two friends, a friend's wife, and their parents, making a total of seven people. The tide was about knee-deep. The captain's wife, who was three months pregnant, was very hospitable! The parents were a bit hesitant about going into the water, so after the BBQ, they asked if we wanted to go for a drive and took us on a small boat to a spot with a heart-shaped coral! This was my third time, and I definitely want to go again!

主人とお友達2人とお友達の奥様とご両親
7人で参加しました。
潮位は膝下位でしたね。
キャプテンの奥様　3人目で大きなお腹でとっても良くおもてなししてくれました！ご両親は海に入るのが少し苦手でBBQの後船に居ると　ドライブどう？
と言って小型船に乗せてくれてサンゴのハートマークが有る所まで連れて行ってくれました！
今回3回めでしたがまた行きたいな！

Polynesian center was amazing. Had a private group tour which took us through the best activities of a few islands. Was not able to see all of the islands like the itinerary stated there just want time. Luau and fire show was included. Also with this package the Polynesian center will give you an additional 3 day pass to
Come back and see anything you missed. Highly recommend!

Boat was nice and lots of room. Found a mom and baby whale and the captain did a good job of keeping us jn the right spot.

Unfortunately, it was held indoors due to strong winds. It's just bad luck. There's no helping it. The indoor setting lacked the excitement. The standard seats were quite far away. The show at a certain indoor pool in Japan was more impressive.

It was helpful that children could go and get the buffet food. Also, it was great to see the fire show, which I thought we wouldn't be able to see indoors.

あいにくの強風で室内での開催となりました。これは運ですね。仕方ないです。室内での開催は、迫力に欠けます。スタンダード席からは遠かったです。日本の某室内プールのショーの方が迫力がありますした。
ブッフェ料理は、子供から取りに行けたのは助かりました。また、室内では見れないと思っていたファイヤーショーが見れたのは良かったです。

I was worried about the rain when I heard it was the rainy season, but it turned out to be a great experience! There were many participants, and we went with two boats—one was just for Japanese people, and the other had participants from various countries (including Japanese), so even those who are not confident in English can enjoy it. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and the hamburgers were very delicious and amazing!

雨期ときいて雨が心配でしたが、それ以上にいい体験ができたツアーでした！参加者が多く、船2隻でいきましたがひとつは日本人だけ、もう一つは国際的にさまざな国から(日本人もok)の参加者の船でしたので英語が不安な方も楽しめます。ウミガメもたくさんみれましたし、ハンバーガーもとても美味しくて最高でした！
