All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I usually watch the Polynesian show, but this time I chose the show at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I really enjoyed it.

いつもはポリネシアンショーを見てたのですが今回はロイヤル　ハワイアンセンターのショーにしました
なかなか楽しめました

We went in late February. Since we went as a family, we all wore matching aloha shirts, and the women wore aloha dresses. However, everything from meals to shows was outdoors, so even in Hawaii, it was cold in February. We needed jackets, like hoodies or jumpers.

But from the moment we got on the bus, we practiced clapping and learned about the origins of the words, which made the trip enjoyable. Of course, everything was in English, but the guide worked hard to speak in Japanese and used gestures, so even if we didn't understand much English, we were able to have fun!

私達は2月の下旬に行きました。
家族で行ったので、全員でアロハシャツを揃えて、女性はアロハのワンピースで行きました。が、食事からショーからすべて外だったので、いくらハワイでも2月は寒かったです。上着、普通にパーカーやジャンパーが必要なぐらいでした。

でも行く時からバスの中で手拍子の練習や、言葉の由来などを教えてくれて、楽しみながら行けました。
もちろん全部英語でしたが、ガイドさんが頑張って日本語で話してくれたり、身振り手振りを入れてくれるので、あまり英語が分からなくても楽しめました！

It was a bit cold, but I had a great time! I was satisfied that I could do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

少し寒かったですがとても楽しかったです！サップやシュノーケリングもでき満足です。またハワイに行った際には参加したいです。

I participated in early February. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales and just ended up cruising. I was really hoping to see whales, so it was disappointing. They did issue a free boarding ticket for the next time, but it only covers the boarding, and you have to pay for the trip to the location yourself. Due to scheduling conflicts, I had to give up on it. I think those who are planning to participate should consider their schedule in case they don't see any whales.

2月上旬に参加しました。クジラは見れずただクルーズして終わりました。
クジラを見たい！との思いで参加したので残念でした。
一応、次回乗船無料券の発行がありましたが、これ乗船のみで、現地迄は自腹との事。スケジュールの都合もあるので断念しました。
これから参加の方は見れない時の為の考慮して日程を組んだ方が良いと思います。

I read in the reviews that it could be far away or hard to see, so I planned the next day as a backup just in case I couldn't see anything. At first, the blowhole was far away, and I couldn't really understand what I was supposed to be looking at, but while I was eating, I saw a whale very close by. When I hurried outside, a mother and calf showed themselves to us. On the way back, I also saw a turtle, which was very lucky. I chose not to use the shuttle service and got off at Kakaako on the high bus and walked, but the breeze felt nice, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was great.

口コミに遠かったり見られない事も多いと書いてあったので、見られなかった時の為に次の日を予備日として、計画をたてました。
はじめは潮吹きも遠く、言われたところを見てもよくわからなかったのですが、ご飯を食べていたら、すぐ近くにくじらが見えて、急いで外へ出たら親子で姿を見せてくれました。帰りにはカメも見られて、とてもラッキーでした。
送迎なしを選んで、ハイバスのカカアコで降りて歩いていきましたが、風が気持ち良くて時間も有効利用出来たので良かったです。

Tour is exactly as described. Our tour guide Larry was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He went out of his way for us. We chose this tour because it’s convenience of time, where most tours went all day.

It was a bus pickup at Hilton Grand Vacations. The woman who confirmed the reservation didn't understand any Japanese at all. We managed to grasp the meaning through some words, but those who only understand Japanese seemed confused. For tours with many Japanese reservations, it might be reassuring to have someone who can speak even a little.

Since the pickup time for the tour was a bit late, by the time we arrived at the boarding area, all the spots with a good view outside were taken. However, since it was a bit cold this season, we took seats indoors on the second floor and had lunch before going outside to take a look.

They also make announcements in English when a whale approaches, so you can stick to the glass window and watch (laughs). This time, it was a smaller whale, so we couldn't see it clearly, but we were able to see it nonetheless.

ヒルトングランドバケーションのバス駐車場ピックアップでした。
予約確認の女性は、全く日本語わかりません。
私たちは、単語などでなんとなく意味わかりましたが日本語しかわからない方は、戸惑ってました。日本人の予約が多いツアーは、少しでいいから話せる方だと安心できるかもと思いました。
ツアーの方は、迎えの時間が遅めのため
乗り場に着いた時は、外の眺めのよさそうなとこは全部埋まってました。
でも、この季節は、寒めなので二階の室内で席を取って昼食も食べてから
外に出て見に行っても大丈夫です。
ホエールが近づいたら放送もしてくれるので(英語)
ガラス窓にピタッてくっついて見ても見れます(笑)
今回は、小さめなのではっきり見えませんでしてが一応見ることできました

We had the best day! Travis is an outstanding tour guide with extensive knowledge of the local area. His genuine aim to please made this tour of the island the highlight of our visit to Oahu. We would highly recommend this tour and Travis.

Since I went to Hawaii in February, I decided to go whale watching, which is something you can only do during this time of year.

I read many reviews saying that people didn't see any whales, so I boarded the boat with a mindset of "Well, it would be nice to see a whale if we do." However, my skeptical expectations were wonderfully betrayed, and I was able to encounter a mother and calf whale multiple times!! Their synchronized swimming was truly moving, and I absolutely recommend it! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!

It was a valuable tour. Thank you!

ちょうど2月にハワイに行ったので、この時期しか見ることの出来ないホエールウォッチングに行く事にしました。

クジラに会えなかったという口コミもたくさん読みましたので、「まぁクジラが見れたらいいか」みたいな気持ちで船に乗り込みましたが…。
私の半信半疑の期待は見事に裏切られ、何度もクジラの親子に遭遇する事ができました！！
並んで泳ぐ姿は心から感動しましたし、絶対オススメします！
本当に素晴らしい経験をありがとうございました！

価値のあったツアーでした。ありがとうございました！

I was wondering if I wouldn't be able to see it until halfway through, but I was able to watch it towards the end. I'm glad I could see it because they searched for it until the very last minute. I can hardly speak any English, but the staff were kind, and I had a great time.

途中まで見れないかな？と思ったのですが、最後の方に見ることができました。時間ギリギリまで、探してくれたため、見ることができてよかったです。英語がほとんど話せないのですが、スタッフは優しく、楽しめました。

I participated on my honeymoon. It rained along the way, which brought my mood down, but while my husband and I were doing SUP, a sea turtle came close to us, and we were able to see it up close! Although we couldn't go snorkeling, being able to see the sea turtle and the friendly staff on the boat who talked to us a lot made it a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

ハネムーンで参加しました。途中雨も降り、テンションが下がってましたが、旦那とSUPをしていたらウミガメが近寄ってきてくれて、間近で見ることができました！シュノーケリングはできなかったですが、ウミガメを見れたことや船の上で担当の人がフレンドリーにたくさん話しかけてくださり、最高の思い出となりました。ありがとうございました！

It was really cold, but I was able to see three sea turtles, and I didn't expect to see them so up close, so I was moved. I would like to use this service again when it's warmer. Thank you very much.

すんごく寒かったけど、ウミガメにも３匹会えたし、あんなに間近で見られると思ってなかったので、感動しました。
また暖かい時に利用したいです。ありがとうございました。

You can enjoy activities like SUP and canoeing in addition to snorkeling! The lunch was a buffet, so it was great to be able to eat as much as I wanted. You can also freely choose from cold and hot drinks. I was also happy that transportation was included!

シュノーケリング以外にもSUPやカヌーなどのアクティビティを楽しめます！
ランチはビュッフェだったので、好きな量食べられるのがよかったです。
ドリンクも冷たいものと温かいものから自由に飲めます。
送迎付きなのも嬉しかったです！！

I signed up for my two sons who love sea creatures! We were able to see a whale right after we set off. I think we were very lucky to see it as a family. The kids were also thrilled, so I'm glad we participated!

海の生き物が大好きな息子二人のために申込みました！出発後すぐにくじらに会えました。
親子で見れたので、とてもラッキーだったと思います。子供たちも大喜びだったので参加してよかったです！

I was able to see a mother and baby whale together, with continuous spouting and jumping! The boat was also large, so it was comfortable to spend time on!

クジラが親子でいたのか、連続して潮吹きとジャンプが見れました！船も大きい為快適に過ごせよかったでふ！

I waited for the bus on the first day, but I was left behind. I left a voicemail, but I didn't get a response... I'm glad I was able to participate the next day, but I couldn't see the whales as well as I wanted from the photos. However, I felt good about the cruise! I thought it might be better if the duration was a little shorter.

バスに1日目待ってたのに、おいてかれてしまいました。
留守電いれたけど、連絡なく。。
翌日参加できたから良かったけど、、
クジラは写真見たいにはみれません。
クルーズするのは気分が良かったです！
時間もう少し短くても良いかなと思いました。

This was my first time in Hawaii, so I wanted to see a show on the main street! Plus, I had a coupon for a second person free, so I made a reservation.

For dinner, we had a buffet featuring a whole roasted pig. They brought it right in front of us, which was quite impressive! We enjoyed our meal while watching live ukulele music and hula dancing. The one-drink service was also a nice touch.

After enjoying quite a bit of hula, the show began. The professional performance from the stage was truly wonderful. We were seated in the second floor, but it was very close, which was great.

The dancing by Elvis and Michael was a highlight! Personally, I found the fire dance to be the most entertaining. ^ ^

今回初めてのハワイなので大道にショーも見たいよね！というのと、2人目無料クーポンがあったので予約しました。
夜ご飯のビュッフェは豚の丸焼き。
目の前まで持ってきてくれたので迫力満点！
生のウクレレとフラダンスを見ながらの夕食。
ワンドリンクサービスも嬉しかったです。　
もうフラをだいぶ堪能してからのショー。
でもやはり舞台からの本格的なショーは素敵でした。
2階席からでしたが、とても近くてよかったです。
エルビスとマイケルのキレキレダンスは見ものでした！
個人的にはファイヤーダンスが1番面白かったです^ ^

Larry with Royal Star handled our tour.... if you find a way to replicate him, you will be well served (as well future attendees). He was knowledgeable, fun, affable and a perfect fit for the thread that ties these parts of the tour together.
Cemetery was humbling and very moving - at the very time we drove through, military was preparing for an internment that day.
Downtown tour was just right - highlighting both historical and current buildings and sharing information for possible additional visits later.
Arizona Memorial - website information helped us prepare well (clear bags allowed us to bring cameras and other items). The presentations at the visitor center were informative, and the video presentation was very moving. Little was said on the transport to the memorial, and our time there was memorable -- anyone who visits and is not moved by the sacrifice and losses is missing something.
Missouri was very interesting as well. Self-guided touring allowed for us to take the time needed to explore areas we found interesting. We did not see the Air Museum (but it's on the list next time). Transfers to and from Ford Island were well timed and operated - then it was time for Larry to take us "home".
ONLY complaint - our visit at both the Arizona and Missouri seemed a little rushed. We had about an hour before our tickets for the video, then seemed to have only ten minutes at the memorial (I understand might have been time for lunch for the tender captains?) and then ten minutes before our bus to Missouri (and find time for lunch). At Missouri, we had at most 90 minutes from drop off to time to board return bus back to the visitor center. Even another fifteen minutes at each memorial would have allowed for a more relaxing and reflective visit.

We participated as a family!
It was everyone's first time whale watching, and we had a wonderful experience encountering humpback whales jumping up close!
Thank you very much! ^_^

家族で参加しました！
みんな初めてのホエールウォッチングでしたが、間近でジャンプするザトウ鯨に出会う事ができ、素敵な経験になりました！
ありがとうございました^_^

In February 2015, I participated in a tour and completely forgot to leave a review.

I heard that the day before and the day before that, there were strong wind warnings, and the tours were canceled, but on the day I booked, it was held. Fortunately, I was able to encounter a pod of dolphins, which was amazing. However, February in Hawaii is really cold. I tend to get cold easily, and even with a wetsuit rental, the water was too cold. I didn't even have the courage to get in the water except for swimming with the dolphins.

In addition to the cruise, I enjoyed the hula dancing (even though I couldn't do it at all because it was too difficult), and the conversations with the crew were fun, but there was one thing. The pickup time was quite early, which I knew from the beginning, but I was surprised when I received a call to confirm the pickup time while it was still dark outside. While I appreciate the confirmation call, the timing was really too much. Plus, it's rare for the phone in my room to ring while traveling abroad, so it startled me. I wish they had mentioned it in advance if it was absolutely necessary. That's the only thing I still clearly remember even after five years.

2015年2月・・
すごく前に参加してすっかりレビューもせずにおりました。

前日・前々日が強風警報が出てて、ツアーも中止になったとのことでしたが
自分が予約した日は開催されました。
そして運よくイルカの群れにも遭遇出来てすごくよかったです。
ただ、2月のハワイってめっちゃ寒い。
元々寒がりなのもあるけれど、ウェットレンタルしても水が冷たすぎて。
イルカと泳いだ以外、水に入る勇気さえなかったです。

クルーズの他、フラダンスや(難しくてちっともできなかったけど)
クルーたちの会話も楽しかったですが一つだけ。
ピックアップの時間がかなり早かったのですが
それは最初から分かっていたのでいいのですが、それよりも前の暗いうちに
ピックアップ時間の確認TELなどが来たこと。
確認の連絡はありがたいけれど、時間がヤバすぎ。
しかも海外で旅行中に部屋の電話が鳴るってほとんどないのでまずびっくりするし。
必ず必要なら前もって言っててほしかったですね。
それだけが5年経った今もはっきり覚えてます。

The crew couldn’t have been more accommodating and fun! Lunch was delicious. Turtle spotting was fabulous. And the reef snorkel was an adventure to be remembered. Thanks for the memories!

I learned about the history of Hawaii, and the plants were explained in detail. In the long-awaited hula lesson, I was taught by the kumu hula, Brad Cooper, and it felt like a dream. I was also very satisfied with the beautiful lei making.

ハワイの歴史が学べ、植物も丁寧に説明していただきました。
念願のフラレッスンではクムフラのブラッド　クーパー先生に教えていただき夢のようでした。
レイメイクも素敵にできて大満足です。

This was just such a great experience. We got incredibly lucky with active whales during our trip. We saw two set of mothers with their calves. The calves breached multiple times and we even got to see one of the mothers breach! Even just the scenery during the sail up the coast was amazing. The crew was incredibly fun and nice, everyone was very accommodating. I would definitely recommend using this company for your whale tour.

Even in tropical Hawaii, February during the rainy season was still cold. It was nice to relax slowly on the boat. The younger folks seemed to be having a great time with snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding.

常夏ハワイといえど、やはり雨季の２月は寒かった〜
ボートでゆっくりのんびり出来たのは良かった。
若い方達はシュノーケリングやSUPなど元気いっぱいで楽しそうでしたよ

Meeting a large mother and baby whale was truly moving. At the same time, I thought about how the approaching boats must be a nuisance for the mother whale caring for her newborn, which left me with somewhat mixed feelings. What is the ideal way for modern humans to connect with the natural world? While we understand this in our daily lives, we often don’t think deeply about it. I realized that we need to reconsider the power of humans and civilization that has even pushed the largest mammals in Earth's history, the whales, to the brink of extinction.

A beautiful world should remain beautiful.
A wonderful nature should remain as it is.
This tour taught me the preciousness of simply connecting lives.

大きなクジラの親子に会えたのはやはり感動がありました
と同時に生まれたばかりの子供の世話をしているお母さんクジラにとってはボートで近づいてくる人間は迷惑なんだろうなと思い、少々複雑な感情にもなりました。
自然界と現代人の繋がりかたの理想とはどんなものなのか。普段の生活では理解していても深くは考えないものですが、地球史上最大の哺乳類と言われるクジラさえも絶滅の危機に追いやってしまった人間の力、文明の威力を改めて考える必要があると実感しました。
綺麗な世界が綺麗なままで。
素晴らしい自然がありのままで。
命をただ繋ぐ尊さを教えてもらったツアーでした。

The diamond seat was very good! We were prioritized for the lei, photos, and buffet, being the first in line! The stage was fun and really lively, and it was a wonderful luau show! The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The alcoholic version was quite strong. Even though it was cold, there were no warm drinks available, so I thought having a jacket would be a good idea.

Also, I had to wait about 20 minutes to exchange the voucher for tickets. After that, I lined up for photos, so for those in general seating, it took about 40 minutes in total. The photos were $50 in cash.

That day was a Sunday, and the fireworks for the Hilton's full occupancy were launched around 8:30 PM! It's such a wonderful environment to be able to see such a fantastic show within the village.

ダイヤモンドシートとても良かったです✨
優先的にレイや写真、バイキングも一番最初でした！ステージも楽しく盛り上げてくれますし、素敵なルアウショーでした！ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールかノンアルコールかどちらか選べました。アルコールの方はしっかり入っててキツめです。寒くても暖かい飲み物はないので、上着はあればいいかなと思いました。
あと、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのに、20分くらい並びました。その後に、写真の列に並ぶので一般席の方は合計40分くらいかかっていました。
写真は50ドル現金でした。
その日は日曜日でヒルトン満室御礼の花火も8時半頃打ち上げられました！ヴィレッジ内で、こんな素敵なショーが観れるなんて、とても素晴らしい環境です

In late February, my husband and I visited Hawaii and wanted to do something Hawaiian, so we participated in this activity!

Most of the participants were Japanese, with a few foreigners mixed in. The boats going to the sandbar were separated into one for Japanese people only and another that included foreigners. Both boats had Japanese guides who were very good at speaking, and the locals were cheerful, making the experience enjoyable from the boat!

When I asked the guide to take photos at the sandbar, they even directed us on how to pose, capturing many wonderful pictures from various angles♡

The guide also helped us look for sea turtles, and we were able to see a lot of them!

During snorkeling, we could see the sea turtles up close! The weather was great, but the water was very cold once we got in.

When we returned to the boat, they had warm drinks prepared, so we could relax and enjoy sunbathing on board!

The hamburgers for lunch were huge, and since we could add our own toppings, it was amazing to customize them to our liking! I'm so glad we could do something truly Hawaiian♪♪

Despite spending about a week on the Big Island in February without seeing a single whale, I had the opportunity to encounter one when I joined this tour during a stop in Oahu before returning home. It's a short cruise of about an hour and a half, but I think it's great because it's easy to join.

２月にハワイ島に１週間ほどいたにもかかわらず、一度もクジラを見る機会はないままでしたが、帰国前にオアフに寄った際、このツアーに参加してみたところクジラに遭遇出来ました。１時間半程度の短いクルージングですが、気軽に参加できて良いと思います。

I had very little experience with boarding a ship, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese, and the other staff were also kind, which made me feel very at ease. There was a wide variety of alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, which was enjoyable. Although the chances of seeing a whale were low, they searched diligently, and I was able to see its tail. I also got to see dolphins up close for a long time, which I didn't think would be possible. It was a very enjoyable plan.

船に乗る経験もほとんどありませんでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいたり、他のスタッフも親切でとても安心して過ごせました。
アルコール類やソフトドリンクも豊富で楽しかったです。
鯨も確率は低いそうですか、熱心に探してくれ、尻尾を見ることができました。また、見れないと思っていたイルカを近くで長時間見れました。
とても楽しいプランでした。

I was satisfied to see them jumping and swimming with their families up close! It would be nice if we could choose items like a ballpoint pen or a T-shirt instead of a revenge ticket. The revenge is quite difficult.

かなり近くでジャンプや親子連れで泳ぐ姿も見れて満足！リベンジ券ではなく、ボールペンやTシャツかを選べると良い。リベンジはかなり難しい。
