All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).

The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.

I enjoyed a traditional luau and beautiful hula. Since the trip was all private plans, the activities were also individually arranged. I splurged a bit and reserved seats in the front center, which were close and had a great view. To my left and right were couples and families from Australia, New Zealand, and the mainland United States. It was fun to talk to each other and share snacks. After the show, we took the escalator down to the first floor and went straight to our room! It was very convenient. The welcome drink was a Mai Tai, which had me feeling a bit tipsy, and for my second drink, I had orange juice to refresh myself! The professional dancers were impressive; both the luau and hula were very captivating.

伝統的なルアウと美しいフラで楽しめました　旅行はすべてプライベートプランのためアクティビティも個人エントリー　ちょっと奮発して座席は前方中央席を予約　近くて迫力ありました　左右向かえはオーストラリア　ニュージーランド　アメリカ本土からのカップルと家族連れ　話しかけたり、話しかけられたり　おつまみのスナックを分け合ったりして楽しかったです。ショーが終われば、エスカレーターで1Fに降りそのままお部屋に！　とっても楽です。ウエルカムドリンクはマイタイでほろ酔い気味　2敗目はオレンジジュースでさっぱりと！　さすがはプロのダンサー　ルアウ　フラともに見応え十分です

This luau is in a perfect location for anyone staying in Waikiki. If you don't want a long drive to and from your luau, book this one because it's walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki.

Another great thing about this luau is the food. Of all the luau I've attended, this is only the second one to offer a dish with tofu. Any luau that has good vegetarian/vegan options rates very high in my book. My friends were also very pleased with the meat selection.

The entertainment was enjoyable and impressive. I especially enjoyed the fire knife dancing. I also enjoyed how each of the dance routines represented a different Polynesian island. So you get to learn a little about the culture and history of the island nations that populated Hawaii.

I highly recommend this activity if your staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.

It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

There are some things I'm a bit unsure about (like whether you get a lei or not), but it should be a fun experience. Also, once the show starts, it becomes difficult to go get food from the buffet, so I think it's better to grab a good amount during the initial food pickup. If you take a little and think you can just go back if you need more, you might find it hard to go again and end up regretting it.

ちょっとどうかなぁ、と思うところもありますが（レイが貰えたり貰えなかったり）、楽しい経験になるでしょう。なお、ショーがスタートするとビュッフェの料理は取りに行き難くなりますから、最初の料理ピックアップの際に、シッカリ取っておいた方が良いと思います。少なめに取って、足りなければ、また行けばよいや、と思っていると、なんか行き難い雰囲気になって後悔するかも。

I was optimistic when I booked a tour for just $39 that would take us out to sea and back, but the weather was nice, the waves were high, and the combination of the captain and the crew made it an entertaining experience with jokes and skilled navigation (though I can't explain it). It turned out to be a fantastic tour lasting an hour and a half, and I was very satisfied as I got to bond with all the passengers.

We went sailing with sea turtles and surfers, and although I was a bit worried about the drinks, I was able to enjoy two cans of Budweiser for just $3 each without any concerns.

What I regret is that Japanese people don't understand the tipping culture, and I didn't put a tip in the glass jar placed at the bottom of the stairs when disembarking. I feel sorry for the staff who made us so happy, and I am embarrassed about it. I also purchased some photos.

たかが39ドルのツアーで、沖まで行って帰ってくるコースと日本で予約したときに楽観していましたが、天気よく、波高く、船長とサポーターのコンビでジョークと船の操船の巧みさ（説明はわからない）で盛り上げ、乗客皆様と仲良くなり大満足の最高のツアー1時間半でした。
　ウミガメ、サーファーと一緒にセイリングを行い、飲み物がいくらか不安でしたが、ビール3ドルでバドワイザー2缶を安心して飲むことができました。
悔やまれることは、日本人はチップ文化が分からず、下船時に階段手前に置かれてあるガラス瓶にチップを入れなかったことです。これだけ喜ばせてくれたスタッフに対して申し訳ありません、恥ずかしい思いしております。で写真を購入しました。

It was a bit windy, but the sky was clear! The sandbar wasn't out, but there was a tour schedule, so it couldn't be helped. However, walking in the sea feels great! You can encounter honu while snorkeling! Other tours have boat entries, but Captain Bruce's tour allows entry from the sandbar, snorkeling right above the honu's habitat! The staff's support was also very satisfying, and I highly recommend it!

ちょっと風か強い日でしたが空は晴れ晴れ！
サンドバーは出ていなかったけど、ツアーのタイムスケジュールがあるから仕方がないね。
でも、海の中を歩くって気持ちいいよ！
シュノーケリングではホヌに出会える！
他のツアーはボートエントリー、だけどキャプテンブルースはサンドバーからのエントリーで、ホヌの住処の真上をシュノーケリング！
スタッフのサポートも大満足で、是非おすすめです！

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.

The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

I participated with my elderly mother and husband. The food was very delicious, and the show was wonderful. In particular, the host's talk was entertaining, and we were enveloped in laughter and emotion. The guide was also kind and spoke slowly in easy-to-understand English for Japanese people, which was reassuring. After the show, we immediately got on the bus, so I thought it would be good to use the restroom after finishing the meal. The return bus had quite strong air conditioning, so a jacket is definitely necessary.

高齢の母と主人と3人で参加いたしました。食事もとても美味しくショーも素晴らしかったです。
特に司会の方のトークが面白くて笑いと感動に包まれました。ガイドの方も親切で、日本人にはわかりやすい英語でゆっくり話してくれますので、安心です。ショーが終わったらすぐにバスに乗りますので、食事が終わったところでトイレに行っておくといいと思いました。帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきいていますので必ず上着が必要です。

This is the 4th time our family has done this tour. It does not get old! Free pick up in Waikiki. Trip to the biggest sand bar in the world. Cheeseburger (or vegetarian!) lunch. Turtle watching. Snorkeling on private reef. Excellent hosting (with Jenner on the guitar). Great value. DO
IT!!!

I went whale watching in early February 2020. The weather was nice, but we couldn't see any whales. I thought maybe it was a bit early in the season since they apparently don't jump until after giving birth. The hotel sent a bus to pick us up, but it arrived more than 10 minutes late, which made me anxious that we might have gone to the wrong meeting place. Once the bus arrives, they call out names, so there's no need to worry while waiting. I opted for the breakfast option, but there wasn't much time, and the menu was quite limited, which was disappointing. The good thing was that the sea was beautiful! I hope this helps you.

2020年2月初旬にホエールウォッチング。天気良かったけれど、クジラは観れず。子供を産んだ後でないと飛び跳ねないらしく、ちょっとシーズン早かったのかなっと思った。ホテルにバスが迎えにきてくれたが、10分以上遅れてバスが到着。集合場所を間違えたのかと不安になってしまった。バスが来たら名前で呼んでくれるから心配せずに待ってればいい。朝食付きの物にしたが時間が少なく、またメニューもかなり少ないので残念。良かったのは海が綺麗だったってことですかね！参考にしてもらえればと思います。

I visited on the last night of my stay in Hawaii. Since I was in Hawaii, I made a reservation with the motivation to see a hula show. The buffet, where everyone enjoyed Hawaiian music under a large tent, was delicious. The whole roasted pig, in particular, was a highlight with a photo opportunity that got everyone excited.

After dinner, we moved into the theater for showtime. The performance, which expressed Hawaii through hula across different eras, was wonderful. There were also impersonators of big stars. I’m not from the generation of those stars and don’t have much knowledge about them, but their appearance naturally brought a smile to my face. They truly are stars!

The final fire show was incredibly impressive. It was a great experience and a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii.

ハワイ滞在の最終日の夜に訪問しました。折角のハワイだからフラショー見たいね、という動機で予約しました。
大きなテントの中でハワイアンミュージックを聞きながら皆で食べるビュッフェは美味しかったです。特に豚の丸焼きは記念撮影タイムもあり、盛り上がりました。
そして、ごはんが終わるとシアターの中へ。ショータイムとなります。時代ごとにハワイをフラで表現している演出が素敵でした。大物スター（そっくりさん）も登場。私はスター達について世代でもありませんし、大した知識もありませんが、登場すれば自然と笑みがこぼれました。さすがスター！
ショーのファイナルのファイヤーショーは迫力満点でした。
ハワイ旅行の記念に良い経験となりました。

Before the show starts, you can interact with the dancers during the greeting. The buffet dinner is served with great care. The buffet had a wide variety of delicious options. Once the show began, the dancers you interacted with during the greeting took center stage and shone brightly. Having connected with them made me want to cheer for them even more, and their expressions and dancing were wonderful. I was captivated from start to finish, and it felt like time flew by. The production and lighting were impressive as well. The performances of Michael and Elvis were outstanding, and I became a fan all over again. I can't remember her name, but the female singer's vocal ability was amazing. In the end, I was very satisfied to take photos with the cast.

ショーが始まる前のグリーティングで、ダンサーさん達と交流できます。ビュッフェディナーの配膳も丁寧にしてくださります。ビュッフェは種類が豊富で美味しかったです。ショーが始まると、グリーティングで交流したダンサーさんたちが、ショーの中心となって、輝いていました。グリーティングで交流したこともあって、更に応援したくなったし、表情やダンスもステキで、最初から最後まで夢中になり、あっという間に感じました。演出や照明もすごかったです。マイケルとエルビスの演出も最高で、改めてファンになりました。名前は忘れましたが、女性歌手の歌唱力が素晴らしかったです。最後は、キャストの方々と写真を撮れて、大満足でした。

During our first trip to Hawaii with our 7-month-old daughter, there weren't many activities we could do, but I heard that there were participants as young as 0 years old in this sandbar tour, so we decided to join. I was really anxious before participating, but the tour staff were very cheerful and kind, which made it a lot of fun. Since I couldn't go snorkeling, my husband and I took turns holding our daughter while doing stand-up paddleboarding, which was enjoyable as well. Our daughter didn't sleep on the flight there, so I was tired, but the beautiful scenery was enough to make me forget that fatigue.

今回7ヶ月の娘との初ハワイでなかなか出来るアクティビティが無かったのですが、このサンドバーツアーは0歳でも参加されてる方がいたとの事で参加しました。
実際に参加するまではすごく不安でしたが、ツアーのスタッフさんがとても明るく親切にして下さってとても楽しめました。シュノーケリングが出来ない代わりに夫と娘の抱っこを交代しながらSUPが出来たのでそれも楽しかったです。
行きの飛行機で娘が寝てくれなくて疲れてましたが、その疲れも吹っ飛ぶくらい素敵な景色でした。

I attended with two female friends.

First, we had a buffet to fill our stomachs before the show. The whole roasted pig was impressive. Personally, I found the roast beef to be delicious. Since there were so many options and large portions at the buffet, I, being a bit careless, piled everything onto my plate at once, resulting in a tragic mix of meat sauce, bread, and cut fruits. It would have been nice to have dividers on the plate, even if just for convenience. During the meal, we enjoyed the lovely hula dance performed by the hula girls along with Hawaiian music.

After finishing our meal, we moved to a different location, and the Rock-a-Hula show finally began. I love hula dancing, Tahitian dance, and fire dancing, and I had been watching Japanese shows back in Japan, but the expressiveness and physique of the local Hawaiian performers were truly different. It was very captivating and moving. The show featured performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, and I was entertained throughout without getting bored. At one point, Elvis came around to the audience with a hula girl, giving out leis and red cloths while doing cheek kisses with the guests. I was sitting at the edge of the second floor, and Elvis came to my side! It became a very happy memory.

Since the venue is located within the Royal Hawaiian Center, it was also appealing that we could easily go there right after shopping or sightseeing. I highly recommend participating for anyone interested in hula dancing or rock music.

友人と女2人で参加しました。

まずはショーの前に腹ごしらえのビュッフェ。
子豚の丸焼きは圧巻でした。
個人的に美味しかったのはローストビーフです。
ブュッフェは数と量が多いので、ずぼらな私は一気にお皿に取ってしまい肉のソースやパンやカットフルーツが混じって悲劇になりました。
上手く乗せればいいのですが、簡単にでもお皿に仕切りがあれば良いな、と思いました。
食事中は可愛いフラガールのフラダンスとハワイアン音楽を堪能しました。

食事が終わったら場所を移動し、いよいよロック・ア・フラショーの始まりです。
フラダンス、タヒチアンダンス、ファイアーダンスが好きで日本でも日本人のショーを観にいっていましたが、ハワイ現地の方の表現力や身体つきはやはり違います。
とても魅力があり感動しました。
ショーにはプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンも出てきて、ずっと飽きずに楽しむことができました。
途中、プレスリーがフラガールと共に席をまわり、お客さんにレイやプレスリーの赤い布をかけてチークキスをするイベントがありました。
私は二階の端の方の席に座っていたのですが、私のところにプレスリーが来てくれました！
とても嬉しい思い出になりました。

場所がロイヤルハワイアンセンター内なので、買い物や観光を楽しんだ後にすぐ行けるのも魅力的でした。
フラダンスやロックに興味がある方は、ぜひ参加をお勧めします。

I was worried about whether I would really be able to see anything based on the reviews, but from about 30 minutes after departure, I was able to see continuously. I couldn't see the large figure right in front of me, though... I didn't include breakfast, so I went outside early and watched from above. There were English announcements followed by explanations in Japanese, so I think it would be fine for those who don't understand English. Since this ship is large, I think even those who are prone to seasickness would be okay. On the way back, I asked the driver if I could be dropped off at Ala Moana, and I thought he said okay, but in the end, I was just passed by. However, I was able to get off without going to the pickup location, which saved me time for my plans afterward. Next time, I want to go on a slightly smaller ship.

口コミをみて、本当にみられるか心配でしたが、出航して30分くらいからずーっとみれました。
大きな姿を目の前で！というわけにはいかなかったのですが…。
朝食はつけなかったので、早めに外に出て上の方から見てました。
英語のアナウンスに続いて日本語の説明もあり、英語が分からないひとでも問題ないかと思います。
この船は大きいので、酔いやすい人も大丈夫だと思います。
帰りに、アラモアナで降ろしてもらえるかドライバーに聞いたのですが、OKと言ったと思っていたら結局素通りされてしまいましたが、ピックアップの場所まで行かなくても、降りることが出来たので、その後の予定への時間を節約でしました。
次はもう少し小さい船で行きたいと思います。

Overall, it was great! The explanation of the buffet was a bit unclear, but the food was delicious, and the show afterward was wonderful. I've been to Hawaii more than ten times, but this was my first time seeing this show. The Polynesian show with fire manipulation was particularly impressive. It's also appealing to be able to see the show so close to Waikiki. Additionally, it was nice to learn about the history of hula and the musicians.

全体的に良かったです‼️
ブッフェの説明が少し解りにくかったですが、お料理は美味しかったですし、そのあとのショーは素敵なショーでした。
私は10回以上Hawaiiに来ていますが、このショーを見たのは初めてでした。
特に炎を操るポリネシアンショーは圧巻でした。wikikiのこんな近くでショーが見られるのも魅力です。また、フラの歴史やミュージシャンの歴史等が見られるのも良かったです。

I checked the times for high and low tide in advance from Japan and made a reservation. I signed up for a photo plan, and a dedicated staff member was with us, so we could take pictures anytime, and they took a lot of photos for us!

The Angel's Sea was truly beautiful! The water temperature was a bit chilly, but I gradually got used to it. Occasionally, there are stones mixed in with the sand, so I recommend bringing surf shoes if you're concerned about that.

In addition to exploring the sandbar, we could also enjoy activities like snorkeling, floating, and SUP, making for a very enjoyable half-day! During snorkeling, we were able to see three sea turtles, which I also recommend.

There were plenty of staff members, so I felt safe throughout the program. Additionally, we could interact with other participants during the program, which I think is one of its attractions.

事前に日本から満潮と干潮の時間を調べて予約しました。
写真付きプランにて申し込みしたのですが、スタッフの方が専任で付いてくれるので、いつでもシャッターを向けていただき、沢山の写真を撮ってもらいました！

天使の海は本当にきれいでした！水温は少しひんやりしましたが、段々慣れてきます。
時折、サンドに石がまぎれてることがあるので、気になる方は、サーフシューズを持っていくことをオススメします。

サンドバー散策の他に、シュノーケリングや浮き輪・SUPなどのアクティビティも行うことができ、とても楽しい半日を過ごすことができました！
シュノーケリングではホヌも3匹見ることができるので、こちもオススメです。

スタッフの方がたくさんいるので、プログラム中も安心できます。
また他の参加者の方ともプログラムを通して交流できるので、そこも魅力の１つだとおもいます。

The weather was nice, and I was able to see two whales. The sea breeze felt good, and it was wonderful to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean, making Oahu look beautiful.

良い天気で、2匹の鯨を見ることができました。
海風も気持ちよく、ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドも見えて海から見るオアフ島も素敵でした。

I think it depends on the weather and luck, but the afternoon of February 13, 2020, was amazing. The contrast of the blue sky, the white sandbar, and the blue ocean was stunning, and even as a beginner in snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle! A turtle came so close that I felt like saying, "Don't come this way!" and I swam right above it. I had seen many turtles basking on the beach in Hawaii Island, but this was my first time seeing one swimming in the ocean. I was thrilled. Additionally, besides the popular restaurant Masala, we had plenty of buffet-style lunch. Not only the Japanese guide but also the foreign staff, including the captain, all made an effort to communicate in Japanese, which made me very satisfied. (It felt more respectful to Japanese customers compared to other tours where foreign staff would say, "I can't speak Japanese" and just speak in English.) I noticed thoughtful details, like the sandals I took off when boarding the boat being neatly arranged when getting off, and towels laid out on the bus seats for the return trip. I thought I would definitely like to participate again when I come back to Oahu.

天気と運次第だと思いますが、2020年２月13日午後は最高でした。空の青とサンドバーの白と青い海のコントラストが最高だったうえに、シュノーケリング初心者の私でもウミガメに会えました！「ぶつかる～。こっちに来ないで。」と言うぐらい近くにカメが近寄ってきたり、カメの真上を一緒に泳いだり。ハワイ島で甲羅干しのカメにはたくさん会いましたが、海の中で泳いでいるカメを見るのは初めて。感激しました。さらに、オアフ島で一番人気店のマサラダの他にビュッフェ形式のランチもたっぷり。日本人ガイドだけでなく、船長をはじめとする外人スタッフも皆、一生懸命、日本語でコミュニケーションを取ってくれ、大大満足でした。（他のツアーで外人スタッフが「日本語しゃべれません」と言って英語でまくしたてるより、サービス業として日本人客に敬意を表してくれている感じがしました。）乗船する時に脱いだサンダルが船から降りる時にはキレイに並べてあったり、帰りのバスのシートにバスタオルが敷いてあったりと、細やかな配慮を感じました。オアフ島に次に来る時も、また是非参加したいと思いました。

The lunch was delicious, and of course, the sandbar was amazing. Even when the wind and tide were strong, making it difficult to move while snorkeling, the support from the many staff members made it easy to enjoy ourselves.

ランチも美味しかったし、言うまでもなく、サンドバーは最高でした。風、潮が強くてシュノーケリングで思うように動けないタイミングでも、多人数のスタッフさんによるサポートがあって、安心して遊べました。

There was a pre-boarding explanation by the Japanese staff, and although it was an English tour, there were no inconveniences at all. We even encountered whales, and the beer on the comfortable boat was fantastic!

日本語スタッフによる乗船前説明もあり、英語ツアーですが、何の不便もありません。クジラにも遭遇でき、心地よい船上でのビールも最高でした！

I think there are many water slides, and it's a place where both thrill-seekers and those who aren't as good with extreme rides can have fun. While there are regular slides, many of them are designed for riding on inflatable tubes, which made for a pleasant experience. The large slides can accommodate four people, so I believe it would be exciting when going with a group.

ウォータースライダーが沢山あって、絶叫系が好きな人もあまり得意でない人も楽しめるところだと思います。スライダーは普通に滑るものもあるけど、浮き輪に乗って滑るものが多いので、気持ちよく楽しめました。大型のスライダーは４人のりのものがあり、グループで行ったときは盛り上がると思います。

I was able to see the whale's spout, but unfortunately, I couldn't see the whale itself, which was disappointing. The crew said that we were lucky to have encountered a whale, but honestly, I think it would be impossible to see one without a lot of luck. However, the staff were kind, which was nice.

クジラの潮吹きは見えたのですが姿を見る事はできなく残念な結果に…。
クルーの方達はあなた達はクジラに会えてラッキーと言ってましたが正直かなりの運の良さが無ければ姿を見るのは無理だと思います。
ただスタッフの方々は親切で良かったです。

The weather was unstable at the time of departure, but it cleared up, and the rainbow was beautiful. I was worried about snorkeling, but I definitely think you should participate if you want to see sea turtles. They provide life jackets, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, it was fun.

Exploring Kailua was nice, but there were few places to change, and the water shower was cold, so I could only take a quick rinse. I was able to shop at a leisurely pace.

出港時は天気が不安定でしたが
晴れてきて
虹も綺麗でした。
シュノーケルは
心配でしたが
ウミガメを見るなら絶対、参加するべきだと思います。ライフジャケットを借りるので
泳ぎが苦手でも楽しかったです。

カイルア散策も良かったですが
着替える場所が少なく、水シャワーは
寒くてサッと浴びるくらいでした。
買い物はゆっくりできました。

The Polynesian dinner show at Hilton was my second time, following Guam, and the food and drinks were just okay. Since it was my birthday, they wished me a happy birthday.

ヒルトンのポリネシアンディナーショーは、グアムに続き2回目で、食事、飲み物はまあまあです。
誕生日だったので、おめでとうを言ってもらいました。

Food was ok but experience was great! Happy we chose to spend our day with this crew

My family was overjoyed, but I was a bit disappointed because the whales were far away. The food was completely different from what I had expected... My cousin had a hard time helping out. The only good thing was that there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, which was a unique experience.

家族は大喜び、私は鯨が遠かったので少し残念でした涙ご飯も期待していたのとは全然違った、、、従姉妹は寄って介抱も大変だった。唯一良かったのはなかなか経験できない経験に、日本語の話せるスタッフがいたことでした。

We did the EarlyBird Breakfast Cruise on Jan. 22, 2020. It was wonderful. Easy to arrive and enjoy some breakfast before leaving. Food and drinks were well worth the price.
Shortly after leaving we saw the whale breaching amd we were all amazed.
Capt. Mike and crew did an amazing job.
Highly recommend!!!

At first, there were no whales, so we enjoyed a leisurely cruise. The weather was nice, and it felt great to relax while taking in the views of the sea and mountains.

In the end, there was a rush of whale sightings! We all reacted to the captain's announcements of "Look in the direction of 3 o'clock!" and moved around the boat together. We were thrilled to see about three whales spouting water and showing their tails as they dove!

初めはクジラが現れなかったのでゆったりクルージング。お天気も良く海や山等、景色を眺めながらゆっくり過ごして気持ちよかったです。

最後にクジラさん出現ラッシュ！
５回くらい船長の「何時の方向に見えました！」と言うアナウンスに反応し乗客みんなで船上を移動。３頭くらいのクジラが塩を吹いたり、潜るのに尾ビレを見せたりする姿が見え感動しました！
