All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

What an amazing day, full of many unique experiences and very friendly staff.

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.

The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.

The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

I will be recommending this experience to my family and friends.

The catamaran was a lot of fun, but I couldn't see any whales. I did receive a free change ticket, but since I'm scheduled to return home the next morning, I can't use it. I don't have any plans for my next trip to Hawaii, so I might not be able to use this ticket. I wonder how long it is valid for.

カタマラン号はとても楽しかったのですが、鯨は見ることができなかった。フリーの変更チケットはいただけたのですが、次の日朝には帰国予定のため使えず。次回のハワイ行きの予定が今はないのでこのチケットは使えないのかも。有効期間はいつまでなのかー。

Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in this event. It often appears in guidebooks, so at first glance, I wasn't particularly interested. However, when I saw that it was being held on Christmas, December 25, I thought, "Why not go for dinner?" and went without much expectation. As a result, I had a great time! Very much so! We had a leisurely dinner starting around 6:30 PM, and the show began around 8 PM. When you think of Hawaii, you think of hula, and there were impersonators of Elvis and Michael. I didn't know much about Elvis due to my generation, but I was drawn into the entertainment and really enjoyed it. During our visit, I noticed that there were fewer Japanese guests than I expected, and there was a wide range of ages among the audience. The food was standard, but I enjoyed it. Being seated in front of the stage allowed us to feel close to the performers, and I personally recommend this seating.

ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、こちらは、初めての参加でした。ガイドブックなんかにもよくでているので、パッとみて、特に興味がなかったのですが、クリスマスの12月25日に催行されているのをみて、夕食がてら一度行ってみるか！と最初は、あまり期待せずにいきました。その結果、楽しかったんです。とても！ステージ前の席でまず６時半頃からゆっくりディナーをいただいて８時頃からショーが始まりました。ハワイといえばフラ、そしてプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんが登場しました。世代的にプレスリーほとんど知りませんでしたが、エンターテイメントに引き込まれて、とても楽しめました。お客さんは、私たちのときは、日本人の方は思ったより少ないという印象と、幅広い年代の方がいらっしゃってるなという感じでした。お料理は、標準的なものでしたが、おいしくいただきました。やはりステージ前は演者の方を近くに感じることができて、こちらのお席、個人的におすすめです。

Recently, I was told by someone who went to this show that my parents would love it, so I went! I didn't know much about Presley, but my mom, who initially wasn't interested, was super excited‼️ On the way back, she couldn't calm down and kept asking to take and enlarge photos! I couldn't take my eyes off the hula, and I had a wonderful time, which made me very happy! They also gave us plenty of time, so I was extremely satisfied. I was able to do a great job of being a good child to my parents!

先日、こちらのショーに行った方に、両親が喜ぶよ！と言われ行って来ました！わたしはプレスリーは分かりませんでしたが、はじめは乗る気もなかった母が大興奮‼️帰りには写真撮って引き伸ばしてー！と興奮冷めやらず。わたしはフラに目が離せなく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来幸せでした！時間もたっぷりやっていただいたので、大満足です。良い親孝行が出来ました！

I was able to see three sea turtles. According to the captain, it's possible to see sea turtles most of the time.
Although drinks are available for a fee, the scenery while enjoying them is fantastic. We also had the opportunity to stop and jump into the sea, which was very satisfying.
I would love to come back again.

ウミガメ三匹に会えました。船長さんによると殆どウミガメを見ることができるそうです。
有料ですが良心的な価格の飲み物を頂きながらの景色は最高。途中で止まって海に飛び込むこともできて大満足でした。
またお世話になりたいと思います。

First, you have to take off your shoes before boarding, but this was not communicated in advance. I was told to wait at the front of the deck to see the whales, and then I got completely soaked from a big wave! This was also not mentioned beforehand. I participated last year and didn't see any whales, so I tried again this time, but there was no sign of them at all. Other tours have been operating since January, but I participated at the end of December. Is it really possible to encounter whales at this time? The chances of seeing them seem almost zero. I won't be participating again at the end of the year.

まず、乗船するまえに、靴をぬがなくては行けない。が、その事は、事前連絡なし。
クジラを見れるとデッキの前にでてと言われて、待機していたら、大波で、びしょ濡れに！それも事前に伝えてもらえず。
昨年も、参加し、クジラが見えなかったので、
今回リベンジしましたが、見える気配さえありませんでした。
他のツアーでは、
1月からの催行になっていますが、
12月末の参加で、実際に本当に
クジラに遭遇できるのでしょうか？
見える確率は、ゼロに等しいのではないでしょうか？
年末にはもう、参加しません。

Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.

Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.

Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..

It was my first dinner cruise in high waves and strong winds. Ten minutes after departure, I immediately got seasick... I ended up stuck at the back of the deck, feeling miserable the whole time. Because of that, I decided to buy a commemorative photo, but I forgot to pick it up, so I just ended up paying for it. I think it was distributed at the seats, but I wish I had received a notification... I will never go again.

波が高く風も強い中、初のディナークルーズでした。
出港して10分、即船酔い…結局ずっとデッキのうしろで地獄絵図…
そんなこともあり、記念写真を購入したのですが受け取るのを忘れてしまい、お金を払っただけになってしまいました。
多分、席に配られていたと思うのですが連絡欲しかったです…
もう二度と行きません。

Thanks to your great service, we could enjoy a lot today!
The pick up/off ,tour guidance, lunch servise and equipments for activities were very good.
I was happy to hear "Okaeri" when I came back from the tour. I really appreciate all of your big smile and kindness.

We had dinner first, and then watched a show in the hall, which was quite elaborate. There was even a fire dance, despite being indoors. The venue was in an area with many hotels, making it very convenient.

食事を先にして、その後ホールでショーを見たのですが、なかなかに凝ったショーでした。ちゃんとファイアーダンスもありましたし。室内なのに。
会場はホテルが多く立ち並ぶエリアで便利は良かったです。

I participated alone. There were just under 50 people on the bus, and I was the only Japanese person. Since it was close to Thanksgiving, most of the attendees were from the mainland United States or Canada. The guide on the bus enthusiastically encouraged everyone to introduce themselves to those sitting around them, which allowed me to connect with the people in front of me, behind me, and next to me (thanks to this, I became friends with an elderly Canadian couple sitting behind me, and on the way back, I sat next to the husband and we had a lively conversation).

We were able to experience hula, tattooing, and fire-starting, which I think kids would also enjoy. The fire dance was so intense that we could feel the heat even as audience members; it was spectacular and thrilling. The excitement from the audience was incredible, and just being there was fun! There was a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and everyone in the venue celebrated together, creating a wonderful sense of unity. I think it's especially great for those on their honeymoon or celebrating anniversaries to create memorable experiences.

I believe you won't fully enjoy it unless you understand English to some extent, but if you want to fully experience the foreign atmosphere, I definitely recommend it!

1人で参加しました。バス５０名弱でしたが、日本人は私1人でした。サンクスギビング近かったのでholidayできているアメリカ本土の方やカナダの方がほとんどでした。バスの中からガイドさんがノリノリで周りの席の人と自己紹介し合いましょうと言われ、前後、隣の方と交流を深められました(お陰で後ろの席のカナダ人老夫婦と仲良くなり帰りのバスはそのご主人と隣に座って会話盛り上がりました)
hulaの体験や、タトゥー体験、火起こし体験もでき、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ファイヤーダンスは客先でも熱風を感じるほどで、迫力満点、素晴らしかったです。観客の盛り上がりもすごくてその場にいるだけで楽しかったです！結婚60周年というご夫婦がいて会場皆でお祝いしてとても一体感がありました。ハネムーンや記念日の方は特に良い思い出作りができると思います。
英語がある程度理解できないと充分楽しめないと思いますが、外国の雰囲気を存分に味わいたいなら是非オススメです！

Beautiful views of Honolulu at night from the ocean, lovely food, and great, friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.

From the time we were greeted to the final good byes it was a perfect day. everyone was so kind and gracious. Our guide Raff was outstanding and is considered ohana to us. He was very knowledgeable and took care of us so well we didn't want the day to end.
Next time we return to Hawaii we will come back to Polynesian Cultural Center.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I rented a car to get there. There were fewer people, so I was able to enjoy almost all the attractions without much waiting. There weren't many Japanese people, but there were a few here and there. There weren't many places to eat. It was a bit disappointing that we had to carry our own floaties and such.

レンタカーを借りて行きました。
人は少なめで、どのアトラクションもほとんど並ばずに楽しむことができました。
日本人の人も多くなかったですが、ちらほらいました。
食べるところはそのほどなかったです。
浮き輪等を自分で運ぶ必要があり、その点は少し残念でした。

I thought I didn't need any of the options, so this tour with just transportation and admission tickets was perfect. As I mentioned in the title, there were only children and their families, but I would recommend it to adults who love roller coasters as well. There are sliders with angles that are unimaginable in Japan. However, I almost got whiplash, so please be careful about that.

オプションはどれもいらないと思ったので送迎と入場券のみのこのツアーがぴったりでした。
タイトルに書いたとおり子供とその家族しかいませんでしたが、大人でもジェットコースターとか大好きな方にはおすすめします。
日本ではありえない急角度のスライダーばかり。しかしムチウチになりかけましたのでその点気をつけて下さい。

This was my third whale watching experience. In the previous two, I didn't see any whales. Even this time, when we arrived at the spot, there were no whales, and I thought it was going to be another disappointment. However, on the way back to the port, the staff shouted "Whale!" When I looked up, a mother and calf whale appeared. I was really glad. The staff's response was also very good.

3回目のホエールウォッチング。前回まではクジラが見れませんでした。今回もポイントに着いてもクジラは現れず、今回もダメだったかと思いながら港に引き返す途中で、スタッフがホエールと叫びました。顔を上げると親子のクジラが出現しました。本当に良かったです。スタッフの対応も非常に良かったです。

It seems that various impersonators are performing, and this time it was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

The charm of hula, the power of the drums, and the fire dance, mixed with nostalgic performances of Elvis and Michael Jackson, created a story-filled stage that made the hour and a half fly by. The show, which involved not just the stage but also the venue, was extremely satisfying.

色々なそっくりさんが出演されるようですが、今回は、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンでした。

フラの魅力、太鼓の迫力、ファイヤーダンスに、懐かしのエルビスやマイケルジャクソンをおりまぜ、ストーリーのあるステージは、あっという間の1時間半でした。
ステージだけでなく、会場も巻き込んでのショーは、大満足でした。

I was able to enjoy the sunset and night view in Honolulu, and the food was delicious as well. I think the cost performance is good. However, after the meal, it was disappointing that the lounge on the upper floor was crowded and I couldn't find a seat, so I give it four stars.

ホノルルの夕陽と夜景を楽しむことができる上、料理も美味しかったです。
コスパも良いと思います。
ただ食事後、上階ラウンジに人がいっぱいで座ることが出来ず残念でしたので星4つです。

My daughter hoped for the tour.
It didn't show itself very clearly...
Just when I thought I saw it, it was on the other side.
But I did get to see its tail! ☺️

娘希望のツアー。
なかなか綺麗に姿を現してくれず。。。
見せたと思ったら反対側だったり。
でも、尾鰭は見れました☺️

This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience. MAHALO~♪

個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪

The cruising experience was very enjoyable and beautiful! The food wasn't in a wide variety, but it was tastier than I expected! The view outside was amazing ☺️ However, the air conditioning inside the ship was too cold, and I froze! A jacket is definitely a must!

クルージングはとても楽しく、綺麗でした！
ご飯も種類はたくさんではありませんでしたが、想像よりは美味しくいただけました！
外の景色は最高です☺️
しかし、船内の空調が寒すぎて凍えました！
上着は、必須ですね！

If you're in Hawaii, you definitely want to see hula dancing and fire dancing, so I watched them during a VIP course dinner. The location is the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is conveniently within walking distance from the major hotels in Waikiki.

True to its name, the VIP course had a separate entrance, and I was treated like a VIP right from the start! They served a welcome drink along with delicious snacks and fruits. I was pleasantly surprised right away.

I was seated in front of the stage and enjoyed the dinner course, which included lobster and steak... everything was colorful and delicious. Since the dinner was served slowly, it got a bit hectic just before the show started.

And finally, the show began! It started with hula dancing, followed by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing... everything was amazing! Elvis and Michael even came down from the stage to the audience, which was a great treat! Those who got Elvis's red scarf were lucky!

After the show, the performers from the hula dance, as well as Elvis and Michael, were waiting at the exit for photo opportunities. They were really nice guys and we were able to take great pictures.

This is a show you definitely want to see at least once when you come to Hawaii!!

ハワイに来たなら、フラダンスとファイアーダンスは見ておきたいと思い、
VIPコースディナーにて、観覧しました。
場所はロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター。
ワイキキの主要ホテルから徒歩で行けるのもうれしいですね。

VIPコースの名のとおり、入口も分けられており、いきなりのVIP待遇！
ウェルカムドリンクも出て、おいしいおつまみやフルーツも。
いきなり期待以上でした。

ステージ前の席に案内され、ディナーコースを頂きました。
ロブスター、ステーキ...彩鮮やかで、どれもおいしかったです。
ディナーはゆっくり運ばれてきたため、ショー開始直前は少しどたばたしてしまいました。

そしていよいよショーが開始！
フラダンスから始まり、エルヴィスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンス・・・
どれも最高でした！
エルヴィスやマイケルはステージを降りて客席まで来てくれる大サービス！
エルヴィスの赤いマフラーもらえた方はラッキーです！

ショーが終わった後、先ほどフラダンスした方や、エルヴィス、マイケルが出口で待っており、記念撮影させてくれます。
とてもナイスガイで良い写真を撮らせてもらえました。

ハワイに来たら一度は見ておきたいショーです！！

This time, I participated with my family!
We chose the all-you-can-drink course with appetizers!
If you like alcohol, I recommend this course!
You can enjoy various drinks like beer, champagne, and cocktails.
The food was delicious too!

I'm glad we chose the fireworks on Friday.
However, the waiting time until the fireworks is a bit long, so it might get boring!
But the cruise was truly a wonderful experience and became the best memory.
Thank you!

今回家族での参加でした！
アピタイザー付き飲み放題のコースにしました！
お酒が好きな方はこのコースはオススメです！
ビール、シャンパン、カクテルなどが色々飲めます^ ^
食事もおいしかったですよ！

金曜日の花火を選択して良かったです(^^)
ただ花火までの待ち時間が少し長いので、退屈するかもしれません！
ですがクルーズは本当に素敵な時間で最高の思い出になりました(^^)
ありがとうございました！

I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!

However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.

It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました！今回もイルカもカメも見れました！スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした！
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
１２月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…？冬で波が高いとかですかね？普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません

●Points of Concern
- The bus arrived a little late compared to the scheduled time.
- The information beforehand indicated that staff would be wearing blue shirts, but the staff were wearing green shirts.
- The park was smaller than I had imagined.

●Positive Aspects
- Perhaps due to the time of year, there were few people, and I was able to enjoy most attractions without waiting in line.
- The attraction called Shaka was very interesting.

●気になった点
・バスが集合時間より少し遅れて到着しました。
・事前情報では青色のシャツを着た人がスタッフだということでしたが、緑色のシャツを着た人がスタッフでした。
・想像していたよりもパークが狭かったです。

●良かった点
・時期の関係からなのか、人は少なくほとんどのアトラクションは並ぶことなく乗ることができました。
・シャカというアトラクションがとても面白かったです。

Since it was my first time participating and I was the first to check in, I was able to sit in the front row on the second floor.
We set off in a great atmosphere while listening to Christmas songs!
After arriving, we had an hour of free time, so I was able to take photos at a leisurely pace.
Although there was a bit of a wait, I was able to take a commemorative photo with Santa, which became a wonderful memory.

始めての参加でチェックインが1番だったので2階席の最前に座ることができました。
クリスマスソングを聞きながらとてもいい雰囲気で出発！！
着いてから1時間のフリータイムがあるので、ゆっくり写真が撮れました。
少し並びましたがサンタとの記念撮影も出来て良い思い出になりました。

Three years ago, I participated with my daughter and had a great time, so this time I joined with friends. The staff were very considerate, taking photos for us and accommodating the two who didn't participate in snorkeling by letting them stay on the cruiser. The malasadas and BBQ were also very delicious, and we even had seconds. We were blessed with wonderful weather and had the best time.

3年前に娘と参加してとても楽しかったので、今回は友人と参加しました。
スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、シュノーケルに参加しなかった二人をクルーザーに乗せてくれたりとても気使って頂き楽しかったです。
マラサダとBBQもとても美味しくお代わりもしました。
とても天気にも恵まれて最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated because of the "second person free" offer. To be honest, I went without much expectation, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was more than enough, and I was extremely full. The show allowed us to feel the history of Hawaii while featuring performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson—truly a fantastic show from the home of entertainment, America. I felt a bit embarrassed that we essentially paid for one person with the second person free offer. It was a great value. If I have the chance again, I would love to see it, and I immediately recommended it to a friend who is going to Hawaii next month.

It's worth going. A must-see.

Thank you.
