All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

This time, I participated with my 6-year-old son, and he decided not to go snorkeling. I thought I would have to skip snorkeling too to stay with him, but the tour staff member kindly said, "Don't worry, I'll look after your son. You and your partner can go ahead!" My son ended up having lunch on the boat and playing around it. I really appreciated that! We also got to experience stand-up paddleboarding, which was incredibly fun. Along the way, a sea turtle even came by and passed right next to my son! It was a great experience.

今回6歳の息子を連れての参加で、息子はシュノーケリングを断念。私も息子に付き合ってシュノーケリングは出来ないかと思いきや、ツアースタッフのお兄さんが息子を見ていてあげるからパパさんママさん行ってきて良いよ！と送り出してくれました。息子は船上でランチしたり、船の周りで遊んで貰ったりしていたそうです。本当に有難い！アクティビティではSUPも体験でき、最高に楽しかったです。途中、ウミガメもやって来て息子の真横を通過！良い体験でした。

I was excited when I saw the map, wondering if I could explore everything, but when I got there, it was surprisingly small, and I completed a lap in no time. The staff were all friendly, but it felt a bit sparse, as one person was watching multiple slides, and the food area called a café was completely closed. I appreciated the water and fruit service at the cabana. Since it was a tour, I had to stay until after 3 PM when the pickup came, which felt like a waste of time when there was nothing to do. I think it would be better to have a rental car next time so I could leave whenever I wanted.

地図で見た時は全部回れるかな〜？とワクワクしてましたが、行ってみると意外と狭くて、あっという間に一周しちゃいました。
スタッフは皆さん愛想のいい方ばかりでしたが、人手不足なのか、一人で複数の滑り台を見ていたり、カフェと名がつくフードエリアが全て閉まっていたり…閑散としている感じがしました。
カバナのお水とフルーツサービスは嬉しかったです。
ツアーなので迎えが来る3時過ぎまでやることないのにいなきゃいけないのは時間の無駄でした。次回行くとしてもレンタカーなどで好きな時に帰れた方がいいなと思いました。

This activity is AMAZING! My children who were 12 and 9 at the time, had such a good time learning about the different cultures. It was almost set up like a theme park where there were various places and activities to be apart of. The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. There's so much to see and do, you will literally spend ALL DAY there!

The sandbar on the day we participated had water up to our thighs, which was a bit disappointing! I think it would be good to check a site that provides tide information before making a reservation.

The hamburgers we had on the boat were surprisingly delicious!! Although there was a bit of murkiness in the water for snorkeling due to rain the day before, there were many sea turtles nearby, and we were able to swim with them. It was so much fun!

参加した日のサンドバーは太ももあたりまで水が上がっていて少し残念でした！潮位を調べられるサイトがあるみたいなので予約する前に参考にした方がいいと思います。
船上で食べるハンバーガーはびっくりするぐらい美味しかったです！！シュノーケリングも前日に雨が降ったため少し濁りはありましたがウミガメが近くに沢山いて一緒に泳ぐことができました。すごく楽しかったです！

The weather was a bit unpredictable with rain coming and going, but the conditions on the day turned out to be quite good. The contrast of the rainbow with the planes taking off from Honolulu Airport and the view of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea was very uplifting. The open sea had surprisingly high waves, and everything from my clothes to my belongings got soaked, but the pleasant climate made it feel like being sprayed with water at Disneyland. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but we received a pass to ride again for free within the season, so I felt quite satisfied. A couple in their 50s who could only speak basic English like "Thank you" somehow joined a tour that only had an English-speaking guide (there were about 20 participants, and only one other Japanese group besides us), but even without understanding the language, we had a pretty good time. Just keep in mind that there are no life jackets, so any activities outside the boat are at your own risk.

雨が降ったり止んだりで天候に気を揉みましたが、当日の天気はまずまずのコンディションでした。虹とホノルル空港から離陸した飛行機のコントラスト、海上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みは、とっても気分を高揚させます。外海は意外に波が高く、服から何から‘べしょべしょ‘に濡れましたが気候も良いので、言ってみればディズニーランドで放水を浴びているようなものですね。鯨は残念ながら見れなかったけど、シーズン内ならもう一度無料で乗れるパスも貰えるし、満足感は十分ありました。「Thank you」ぐらいの英語しか喋れない５０代夫婦が何を血迷ったか英語ガイドしかいないツアーに参加しましたが（２０組ぐらいの参加者のうち日本人グループは我々ともう一組だけでした）、言葉はわからないなりに結構楽しめますよ。ただ救命胴着はありませんので船外の行動は自己責任となります。

Prompt service to and from the pick up site! Driver even called to confirm I was present. Wow! Great host and service. Thank you for your time and insight in the journey!

It was a show that far exceeded my expectations.
The singing and dancing of each individual were amazing!
The level was very high, and it was truly impressive.
I'm glad I went to Hawaii and saw this show.
Elvis's singing and Michael's dancing were captivating.
The content was never boring!
I believe it will definitely be one of the memories of my trip to Hawaii.

予想をはるかに超えるショーでした。
1人1人の歌唱力とダンス！
すばらしい！
とてもレベルが高く、見ごたえがあります。
ハワイに行き、見てよかったと思えるショーです。
エルビスの歌唱力、マイケルのダンス。
飽きさせない内容！
間違いなくハワイ旅行の思い出の1つとなると思います。

I saw it from the very front!!!
I had a towel draped around my neck. It was just draped (laughs).
It was a bit too close, so there were some parts I couldn't see well, but it was fun.

一番前で見ました！！！
タオルを首から掛けられました。かけられただけ（笑）
近すぎて少し見えないところがありましたが、楽しかったです。

I was a bit disappointed that several attractions I wanted to ride were closed. Since I visited on a weekday, there were few people in the facility and the wait times were short, allowing me to ride the slides multiple times. Most of the visitors were tourists, with a majority being Japanese. The only attraction with a long wait time was the FlowRider. There are deck chairs by the central wave pool, but the shaded areas fill up quickly, so I recommend securing a spot as soon as you enter the park.

乗りたかったアトラクションが何個か開いていなかったので少しがっかりでした。
行ったのが平日だということもあり、施設自体は人も少なく待ち時間も少ないのでスライダーに何度も乗ることができた。
来場者は殆どが観光客で日本人が大半です。
唯一待ち時間が長かったのはフローライダーくらいでした。
中央の波が出るプールにデッキチェアがあるが屋根付きで無料の所はすぐ埋まる為、入園後すぐに場所取りしに行く事をおすすめします。

The weather was gloomy all day. The staff spoke to us in Japanese, so I was able to participate without any anxiety. Everyone was kind and taught us well.

It was cold, and I was hesitant to get into the sea. I even thought about skipping snorkeling.

But since I came all this way, I wanted to see the sea turtles!

I bravely went into the water.

As soon as I got in, I saw so many sea turtles!

For lunch, we had freshly made BBQ. It was delightful! The taste was really delicious.

一日どんよりした天気((+_+))
スタッフの方々は日本語で話してくれて不安なく参加できました(^^)/
皆さん優しく教えてくれました(#^^#)

寒くて海に入るのも恐々。。
シュノーケリングもやめようか、と。。

でもせっかく来たのだからウミガメに会いたい！

思い切って海へ。。

入ってすぐ、いっぱいウミガメに会えました♡

ランチも出来立てほやほやのＢＢＱ。堪能しました！
味も本当に美味しかったです♡

I took my parents to Hawaii! I wanted to show them hula dancing and fire dancing, so after researching various options, I found this tour had the best reviews and made a reservation. The hula dancing and fire dancing were amazing, but there were also many impersonators of stars from the past, like Michael Jackson, which made my parents very happy! The satisfaction exceeded my expectations! Additionally, we were seated in the front row of the second floor, and the stage was at eye level, making it very easy to see! If you sit on the first floor, you have to look up. Also, since you'll be viewing from the side, I think it could get tiring.

両親を連れてハワイに行きました！
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスを見せたいなと思いいろいろ調べたところ、こちらのツアーが一番口コミが良かったので予約させていただきました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも素晴らしかったですが、マイケルジャクソンなどのひと昔前のスターのそっくりさんがたくさん出てきて、両親はとても喜んでいました！！
想像以上の満足感でした！
また、2階席の一番前で見れましたが目線の高さにステージがあり、とても見やすかったです！
1階だと見上げる感じになります。
また、横向きにで見るようになるので疲れると思います。

I had plans in the morning and was looking for a tour in the afternoon when I found and booked this one. The guides spoke Japanese and were all friendly. The meal was a simple buffet, but with a 360-degree oceanfront view from the boat. The taste may vary depending on personal preference, but it was a luxurious lunch.

While snorkeling, I saw several sea turtles on the ocean floor, and I could see them up close! However, it can be cold in late December if it's not sunny! It's a good idea to have a warm rash guard, bath towel, and a change of T-shirt that you can wear on the boat.

I enjoyed the stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) without any additional charge, but due to safety concerns, the area where we could paddle was quite limited. Standing and paddling would end quickly, and we kept having to turn around and repeat that.

One disappointing thing was that one of the guides threw the leftover juice he was drinking into the sea. I was disheartened to see a guide, who is supposed to protect the beautiful Kaneohe Bay surrounded by coral reefs, throwing juice into the clean ocean.

午前中に予定があり、午後からのツアーを探していたところこちらのツアーを見つけて予約。
ガイドさんたちは、日本語が話せて、みんなフレンドリー。
食事は、簡単なビュッフェでしたが、船の上だと360度オーシャンフロント。味は好みもあるかと思いますが、贅沢なランチでした。

シュノーケルをしていると、海の底にウミガメが何匹もいて、間近で見る事ができます！
しかし、12月下旬の晴れていないと寒いです！
必ず船の上で着られる温かいラッシュガードやバスタオル、替えのTシャツとかがあるといいですよ。

SUPが追加料金無く実施出来て楽しめましたが、安全上の問題で、SUPの出来る範囲がかなり狭く立って漕ぐとすぐに終わり。また、Uターンし、立って漕ぐと終わり。の繰り返し…でした。

残念だった事は、ガイドさんの1人が飲んでいたジュースの残りを海に捨てていた事です。
珊瑚礁に守られた美しいカネオヘ湾を守るガイドさんが、綺麗な海にジュースを捨てるなんてガッカリしました。

We visited three or four hotels before leaving, spending quite a bit of time before arriving in Honolulu. By the time we got there, it was already open, but there was a long line for baggage inspection, and we could only enjoy the pool around 11 AM. We went on December 31, and it probably wasn't too crowded, but we waited over 30 minutes for the first attraction. The next attraction also had a limited number of two-person floats, and we waited about 30 minutes for a float. Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was already 3 PM for the meeting time. If there were single-person floats, we could have gone down three or four times while we were waiting, so I hope they can be flexible with the number and types of floats based on the situation.

The wave pool had strong waves, and I was a bit worried about the kids drowning, but they were having fun.

On the way back, we were dropped off at the hotels in order of pickup, so we arrived 50 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, which allowed us to make good use of the time afterward.

We had reserved a governor for rental in advance. The rental fee is high, so the cost-effectiveness is questionable, but considering the luggage and dining aspects, it was nice to spend our time elegantly.

For those who want to play a lot, the time might feel short and unsatisfying, but for our family, it was just right, and I thought it would be nice to bring them back again.

行くときにホテルを3，4カ所回っていって、ホノルルを出るまでにかなり時間を費やし、到着したらすでにオープンしていて、荷物検査でもかなり行列で時間がかかり、実際にプールで遊べたのは11時頃でした。12月31日に行きましたがおそらくそんなにすいていなかったのだと思いますが、最初に並んだアトラクションで30分以上まち、次のアトラクションも2人乗りの浮き輪の数が少なく、浮き輪待ちで30分ほど並び、並ぶのに時間がかかり、あっという間に集合の3時になりました。一人乗りの浮き輪だと、私たちが並んでいる間に3回も4回も滑れていましたので、状況をみて浮き輪の数や種類など、臨機応変に対応して下さるといいのにな、と思いました。
波のプールは波の迫力が強く、子供が溺れないか不安なほどでしたが、楽しんでいました。
帰りはピックアップされたホテル順におろして頂いたので、ホテル到着予定時間の50分も前に到着したので、その後の時間を有効に使えて良かったです。
今回ガバナを事前にレンタル予約していました。レンタル料は高いので費用対効果は微妙ですが、荷物のことや、食事面を考えると、優雅に過ごせて良かったです。
たくさん遊びたい人には時間が短く物足りないかも知れませんが、我が家にはちょうどよく、またつれてきてあげたいな、と思いました。

Meeting Teacher Dolphin and Professor Turtle was wonderful, and the smiles from Maki and the staff, along with this rainbow! It was the best day ever.

イルカ先生にカメ教授に出会えたことはもちろん、マキさんやスタッフの笑顔に、こんな虹まで❗最高の１日でした。

I was a bit disappointed; the content wasn't great for the price, and everything was in English without any Japanese interpretation. The guidance was also lacking; Hilton is not good.

少しがっかり、値段の割に内容も良くなく、すべて英語で日本語の解釈もなく
案内も良くない、ヒルトンは良くない。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather for the cruising was perfect, so I felt good.

クジラが見えなかったことが残念でした。しかしクルージングには最高の天気だったので、気分は良かったです。

We attended as a family of three, including my wife and daughter. We chose this place because we love Hawaiian dance and wanted to enjoy a meal while watching the show. Unfortunately, we arrived an hour late, which meant we ended up with seats on the side of the stage, making it feel like we were watching from behind, which was disappointing. Since it was New Year's Eve, the prices were uniformly high regardless of seat location when booking online, which was unfortunate. I recommend arriving early.

It took some time to get our meals, but the food was surprisingly delicious and very Hawaiian! Also, the entire show is in English.

The show was really great!

夫婦と娘の三人で参加。Hawaiiのダンスが好きなので、見ながら食事というのでえらびました。
1時間遅れてしまったので、舞台のサイドの席になってしまい、ショーが、うしろから見るような形になったのがざんねでした。大晦日なので、ネットで予約するときはが座席位置に関係なく一律の高い値段なので、それが残念でした。早く行くことをお勧めします。
食事はとるのに時間はかかりましたが、内容はHawaiiらしいもので意外と美味しい！
あと、ショーは全て英語です。
ショーはとてもよかったですよ！

Highly recommend to use your 3 day pass. So much to do! Not enough time to do in one day. Enjoyed the hands on activities, dancing, and food. No matter where you sit for the luau you have an amazing view. Our tour guide was amazing and we met wonderful people.

We had the perfect day to Watch Whales and go to see several in the bay. Great Cruise and Crew and the Buffet Lunch was pretty tasty.

I used to go every summer, but this time I went in winter for the first time. It was nice that it wasn't crowded, but two of the rides I wanted to go on were closed. On top of that, maybe because there were few staff, some facilities were closed at certain times. Even though I paid a lot of money to go, it was disappointing.

毎年夏には行ってましたが、今回初めて冬に、行きました。
すいてるのは良かったのですが、乗りたかったのは、二つもclosed。
その上、店員が少ないせいか、やってる施設も時間によってclosed。
高いお金を払って行ってもあれでは。

We have been snorkelling a couple of times but this was different. We saw so many turtles and fish. Great fun for our teenage kids. The boat team were fun, experienced and professional. The boat was spotless and well maintained. The sail after snorkelling was a bit rough going out due to the weather but that made it more fun! Coming back was smooth and relaxing. Free snacks on board and drinks reasonably priced.

On January 2nd, I participated in the first day of the whale watching season. The weather was perfect, and I was excited to join, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. It seems that sometimes days like this happen, but if you don't see any whales, you can show a re-participation ticket (issued at the ticket center after disembarking) to get on another boat for free during that season. However, you must make your own way to the boarding area.

Due to our schedule, we couldn't try again during our stay this time, but if you're really eager to see whales, it might be a good idea to plan for a backup day in case you don't see any.

However, we did get to see a pod of dolphins, and the staff were all very kind.

1月2日、クジラウォッチングシーズンの初日に参加。
最高のお天気でワクワクしながら参加しましたが、残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。
たまにはこんな日もあるようですが、見れなかった場合、再参加のチケット(船を降りてからチケットセンターで発行)を見せればその年のシーズン中は再度船に無料で乗せてくれるみたいです。
但し、船乗り場までは自分で来ることが条件です。
私達は今回はスケジュールの都合上、滞在中に再度トライはできませんでしたが、どうしてもクジラを見たい方は、もしも見れなかった時の為に予備日も考えていたらいいかもしれません。

でも、イルカの群れを少し見ることができましたし、スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切でした。

This is my second time participating in this option, and it was still a fun show as always. There was a lot to enjoy, including traditional Hawaiian-style hula dancing, impersonators singing and dancing, and the thrilling fire dance. My favorite was Elvis, and "Blue Hawaii" was the best. Michael was great with his dancing and singing, but he also made us laugh with his microphone performance, which was really enjoyable.

The buffet before the show started with a Mai Tai welcome drink, and they served a whole roasted pig, along with roast beef, so I was very satisfied with the delicious food.

このオプションへの参加は今回で2回目ですが、相変わらず楽しいショーでした。大昔のハワイアンスタイルのフラダンスやそっくりさんの歌やダンス、そしてハラハラドキドキのファイヤーダンスと盛り沢山。お気に入りはエルビスで、Blue Hawaiiがサイコーでした。マイケルもダンスや歌はもちろん良かったのですが、なんとマイクパフォーマンスで笑わせてくれてとても楽しかったです。
ショーが始まる前のビュッフェもマイタイのウェルカムドリンクから始まり、豚一頭そのままの丸焼きが出てきたり、ローストビーフもあって沢山食べられて美味しかったので大変満足しました。

There was hula, impersonations, singing, and it felt like a mix of various things. For the price, I had the impression of "huh?"

フラあり、ものまねあり、歌ありと、いろいろなもののごった盛りという感じ。値段のわりには、？という印象でした。

I participated on the first day of the season. I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. It was disappointing since the kids were also looking forward to it, but I understand that it's all about luck. If I have the chance to come back in winter, I would like to try again.

シーズン初めての日に参加しました。
楽しみにしていましたがクジラを見ることができませんでした。こればっかりは運もあるので仕方がなかったのですが、子供達も楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
冬に来る機会があればリベンジしたいと思います。

Dolphins swam leisurely right beneath us. We were able to see turtles up close, and at the snorkeling point, the coral was more alive than I expected⭐︎ The staff were kind, and we enjoyed a hula dance as well. I would love to participate again.

One disappointing thing was that, despite the explanation not to use spray sunscreen because it harms the marine environment, there were customers who used it without concern. I hope that users will follow the rules to protect Hawaii's beautiful ocean.

イルカが私たちの真下でゆったりと泳いで行きました。亀も至近距離で見られたし、シュノーケルポイントでは思ったより珊瑚が生きていまいました⭐︎
スタッフの方も親切で、フラダンスも楽しませて頂きました。
また参加したいです。

一つ残念だったのは、海の環境に悪い為スプレータイプの日焼け止めは使わないで下さいという説明があったにも関わらず気にせず使われているお客様がいた事です。ハワイの美しい海を守るため、利用者にはルールを守ってもらいたいです。

After the Viking meal, there was a traditional luau show. The food was delicious and it was fun. However, the show could be a bit shorter.

バイキングの食事の後、フラ、伝統ルアウショー
食事も美味しく、楽しかった。
ただ、ショーはもう少し短い方が良いかも

I had a decent time, but it was a bit disappointing that many attractions were closed. Still, I arrived before the opening and was able to make good use of my time by enjoying the slides in the morning. It wasn't as crowded as pools in Japan. The wave pool is quite intense, so be careful with small children! My child seemed to hit their head on the bottom and was crying. Also, since ID is required for alcohol, it's better to bring your passport.

それなりに楽しめましたが、クローズしてるアトラクションが多く少し残念でした。
それでも開場前に到着し、午前の間にスライダーなどをやって時間を有効に使えました。日本のプールみたいに激混みすることもありません。
波のプールはかなり激しいので、小さなお子様は気をつけましょう！うちの子は底で頭を打ったらしく泣いていました。
あとお酒などでIDが必要なのでパスポートは持って行ったほうがいいでしょう。

I enjoyed the Honolulu Marathon as a memory with my daughter. I'm thinking of coming again next year. I hope my husband can join us next time!

ホノルルマラソンの記念に、娘と一緒に楽しめました。又来年も来ようと思ってます。今度は夫婦来れたらいいな❗️❗️

My son also became my number one memory from the trip to Hawaii. I want to go again when I visit Hawaii. The scale is just different! It's something you can't experience in Japan.

息子もハワイ旅行の1番の思い出になりましたー。ハワイに行ったらまた行きたいです。とにかくスケールが違う！日本では体験出来ません。
