All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I made a reservation from Japan and participated in the trip on the fifth day of my Hawaii vacation. I was relieved that the bus driver was also Japanese. However, as we got closer to the location, the weather became increasingly ominous, and by the time we arrived at the sandbar, it was pouring rain... The rain continued until just before we were about to leave, and by the time we finally saw some clear skies, it was already time to go... I was a bit happy to see a rainbow at the end. I wasn't confident about snorkeling, but when I tried it, I surprisingly enjoyed it! I even spotted a few sea turtles!! The food was delicious!

日本から予約して、ハワイ旅行5日目に参加しました。バスの運転手さんも日本の方で安心しました。ただ、天気が現地に近くなる程雲行き怪しくなり、サンドバーに着く頃には土砂降りに…そして、帰る間際まで雨が降り続き晴れ間が見えた頃には帰る時間に…最後は虹が見えたのは少し嬉しかったです。シュノーケリングは自信がなかったのですが、挑戦してみたら意外にも楽しめました！ウミガメもちらほら見えました！！
ご飯は、美味しくいただけました！

I went with a friend.
This was the cheapest option with transportation included.
There were a lot of slides, and it was fun; it was nice that it wasn't crowded like in Japan.
However, the lazy river wasn't operating, and the slides take turns being closed, so if the timing isn't right, you can't ride them.
It's nice that the lifeguards are relaxed, allowing you to take videos with your smartphone while riding.
I would like to use this place again.

友人と2人で行きました。
送迎付きだとこちらが最安値でした。
スライダーが沢山あって楽しかったし日本みたいに混んでなくて良かったです。
ただ、流れるプールがやってなかったのと、スライダーが順番に休止するのでタイミングが合わないと乗れません。
監視員が緩いのでスマホで動画撮りながら乗れるのはいいです。
また利用したいと思います。

I reserved VIP seats for myself, my 3-year-old child, and my parents. I thought the price for the child was high, but I was surprised that the meals for both the child and the adults were exactly the same. Next time, I would like to see a buffet option as well.

主人、子(3歳)、両親とVIP席を予約しました。子供の料金にしては、高いと思いましたが、子供と大人の料理が全く一緒だったので、驚きました。次はブュッフェでも、いいのでまた見たいと思いました。

It was an experience with professional hospitality. When I jumped off the large boat, I was excited to see dolphins and turtles swimming nearby and along the seabed. For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.

プロのおもてなしをうけた体験でした　大きい船から飛び降りるとイルカも亀も近くや海底を泳ぐのが見えて興奮しました　肉肉しいパテのハンバーガーとパイナップルとスナック菓子、レモネードが軽食で出ました　いつも酔わないのですが　なんか　嫌な感じがしたので食べずに持ち帰りました（酔っていた人もいました）カメラマンも常駐していたので撮ってくれます　売ってます　初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが　何も心配はなく楽しめました　参加して良かったです　おススメします　

It was more thrilling and scary than water slides in Japan, but it was incredibly fun! Since the water pressure is strong, it might be better to wear sandals that won't slip off rather than flip-flops (I wore flip-flops and had to hold them in my hands or leave them at the entrance when sliding). It's recommended because both small children and adults can enjoy it, and there are no lines at all!

日本のウォータースライダーよりも迫力があって、怖かったですが最高に楽しかったです！
水の勢いがあるので、ビーチサンダルよりも、脱げないタイプのサンダルの方がいいかも(私はビーチサンダルを履いていってしまったので、滑るときには手にかかるか入り口に置いていきました)
小さいお子さんから大人まで遊べて、全然並ばないので、オススメです！

The attention and hospitality from the captain and crew were outstanding! They spoke Japanese, and their explanations were both interesting and easy to understand, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. The crew offered to take our pictures, which made us very happy since we were traveling as a couple. We were able to see sea turtles multiple times. My friend, who couldn't participate in snorkeling, was offered alternatives like stand-up paddleboarding and a short cruise, making it a very satisfying tour for both of us. Even during the farewell, they waved goodbye, and on the bus ride back, we heard others saying, "The hospitality is just amazing." I'm really glad we participated.

キャプテン、クルー皆さんの気配り、おもてなしが最高でした！日本語okで、説明も面白くわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。クルーの皆さんが「写真を撮ってあげる！」と声をかけてくださり、二人旅行だった私たちはとても嬉しかったです。ウミガメも何度も見られました。一緒に参加した友人は、シュノーケリングに参加できませんでしたがその代わりにSUPや短時間クルーズに声をかけていただき、お互いに大満足のツアーでした。お見送りも最後まで、手を振って、帰りのバスでは周りの皆さんからも「おもてなしが素晴らしすぎる」と声が聞こえてきました。本当に参加してよかったです。

This is my second time participating, and since the last tour was in the early morning, there were fewer people, and I felt like I could see the sea turtles and fish up close. This time, I could see the sea turtles from a distance, but they didn't come close. It's a shame that the early morning tours are only available until mid-September.

２回目の参加なのですが、前回早朝のツアーだったので人数も少なく、ウミガメも魚も近くで見れた気がします。今回はウミガメは遠くから見えましたが近くまでは来ませんでした。早朝のツアーが９月半ばまでしかないのが残念でした。

After a relaxing time at the beach, my daughter and I joined in, dressed up just a little. (laughs) The dinner was delicious. There was absolutely no stiffness at all. However, I thought it might be a bit disappointing for repeat visitors that there hasn't been any change in the menu for a long time. Also, while it's understandable if the place is full, I would appreciate it if the spacing between tables could be adjusted a bit when there is room available. As for the show, all the performers were wonderful. Presley had a friendly vibe. And above all, the beautiful smiles of the hula dancers, like flowers, always make me feel how amazing it is to come to Hawaii. Michael, who was one of the highlights, sounded just like him from the very first note, and I enjoyed listening nostalgically. The fire dance that appeared in the second half was also full of excitement, making it a very enjoyable time.

ビーチでのんびりとした後、娘と二人で参加しました、ほんの少しオシャレをして。(笑)
ディナーも、美味しく頂きました。堅苦しさなど全くありません。ただ、長い間、全くメニューに変化がないと言うことは、リピーターには少し残念なことなのでは？と思ったりしました。又、満席ならば仕方ありませんが、席に余裕がある場合は、臨機応変に、お隣とのテーブルの間隔を少し広げて頂ければ、有り難いなと感じました。ショーについては、演者の皆さん素敵でした。気さくな感じのプレスリー。そして、何より、フラの方達の花のような美しい笑みは、ハワイに来る度に、素晴らしいなぁと感じています 。
一番の楽しみでもあったマイケルも、第一声からソックリだったので、懐かしく聴き入りました。後半に登場するファイアーダンスも迫力満点で、とても楽しい時間になりました。

I participated in late November.

I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.

I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.

I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.

If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.

11月下旬に参加。

時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。

船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります！
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。

船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。

イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい！という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

I participated with my family of three (my wife, our fifth-grade son, and myself) during the flying stone holiday in October. In the past, I had gone on a company trip to Guam and watched a luau at a certain domestic place, and I wanted to show my family that experience, especially since it included a meal.

◇ Good Points
- About half of the participants were Japanese, which allowed us to somewhat feel like we were abroad in Hawaii.

◇ Disappointing Points
- The show’s production was too tailored to American tastes, making it hard to feel the essence of Hawaii.
- The food was also very American.
* I was expecting luau dishes (like roasted pig), but...
- I opted for the economy course to save money, but the difference in service compared to the higher-tier course was too stark (though this might be due to the price difference).
* In the higher-tier course, seats are closer to the front, and the seating and buffet meal guidance are prioritized. Additionally, leis are given to everyone, making the visual difference between us common folks and others painfully clear and causing unnecessary feelings of inferiority.

◇ Overall Impression
I found the production very disappointing, and the fire dance show I saw at the certain domestic place might have been more impressive. I thought I was paying a decent amount for Hawaii, but I only got one welcome Mai Tai, and I regretted that I would have been better off having a steak outside. Well, my wife and son were happy, so I guess that’s okay...

◇ Additional Note
By the way, there is a bar where you can buy drinks with cash if you want, so parents who enjoy alcohol can rest assured.

１０月の飛石連休の中で家族三人（嫁＋小五息子＋自分）と参加しました
過去、自分だけ社員旅行で行ったグアムと○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）でルアウを観ていて、家族にも見せたいという思いと食事付きという内容により参加しました。

◇良かったところ
・ハワイにしては日本人の参加者が半分位で外国に来た気分が多少味わえました。

◇残念なところ
・ショーの演出がアメリカ人好みの演出すぎてあまりハワイを感じられなかった。
・食事もアメリカン
　※ルアウ料理（子豚ちゃんの丸焼き？など）を期待していたのに・・・
・値段をケチってエコノミーコースを申し込んだのですが、上のコースとのサービスの差が激しすぎる（これは値段の差なのでしょうがないかも）
　※上級コースだと席が前の方というのもあるけど、席への案内も食事（ブュッフェ式）の案内も先。さらにレイが全員にプレゼントされ、我々庶民との差がビジュアル的に一目瞭然で余計な劣等感を感じてしまう。

◇総評
自分としては演出がとても残念だったし、ファイヤーダンスなどは寧ろ「○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）」でみたショーの方が迫力があったかも。
ハワイでもそこそこの値段を払ったつもりなのに、酒 もウェルカムマイタイの一杯だけで、普通に外でステーキでも食べた方が良かったと後悔しています。
まぁ、嫁と小五の息子は喜んでいたからまぁ良いか・・・

◇補足
ちなみに、お酒はバーがあって飲みたければ現金払いでも買えるのでお酒好きのお父さんお母さんはご安心ください。

The shuttle service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました until the end. The waves were so big that I was surprised by the rocking during the meal while we were docked. Several people were feeling seasick, so I think it's best to be prepared if you're going to board.

送迎もバッチリで、日本語が話せるスタッフもいて最後まで安心して楽しめました。
波があまりに大きく、停泊中の食事の最中
から最後まで、揺れに驚かさせれました
何人も酔っている方がいらっしゃったので
覚悟して乗船された方が良いと思います

I had made a reservation for four people in the most expensive area, but when we arrived, there were no available seats for four. We ended up having to ask other guests who were already seated to move, creating a cramped seating arrangement. The location of our seats was only about a meter away from the regular seating area, and it was hardly different from the regular seats. In fact, the regular seats were more spacious and comfortable, which made for a very disappointing situation.

一番高額なエリアの席を事前に4名で予約をしていたのに、行ってみたら4名の席の空きがなく、既に着席している他のお客さんに移動をしてもらって詰め詰めの席をつくる始末。席の場所も、普通の席のエリアと1メートル程の通路を挟んだだけの位置で、普通の席とたいして変わらず、むしろ普通の席の方がゆったり座れるているという最悪の状況でした。

I was worried about getting seasick since I get motion sickness on airplanes, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I didn't feel sick at all! The captain's driving was amazing! During snorkeling, I saw a lot of fish, and a sea turtle even rushed towards us. I was told not to touch it, but it came over to me, so I couldn't help it, haha. The BBQ meat during the meal was very delicious. It's a shame I couldn't eat much because I was worried about seasickness. The staff's conversations were entertaining, and they even took a two-shot photo with us, making it a very fulfilling tour.

飛行機でも酔う程なので、船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めをのんだら全く船酔いしませんでした！船長さんの運転が素晴らしい！！シュノーケリングでは、魚もたくさん見れたし、海ガメがこちらに突進してきてきました。触ってはいけないと言われてたけど、海ガメから触りに来たから仕方ない笑　食事ではBBQのお肉がとても美味しかったです。船酔いが心配だったのであまり食べられなかったのが残念。スタッフの皆さんのトークが面白いし、ツーショット写メも撮ってくれてとても充実したツアーでした。

Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!

We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!

I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.

The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.

I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.

At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^

集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。

船も新らしくて滑り台も付いていたのでとっても楽しかったです。滑り台から滑るときはドキドキしました笑笑

いるかも3回見ることができました。スタッフろ方最後の踊りはとってもまた元気が出る踊りで一緒に踊れてとっても楽しかったです。

最後に体の好きなところに、シールも貼ってくれました^_^

This is my third time, and I was able to see sea turtles. I think there’s no better tour than this, so I definitely recommend participating. I suggest making an early reservation.

3回目ですが、ウミガメにあえました。こんなに良ツアーは
ないから絶対参加した方がいいと思います
早めの予約をお薦めします

We chose a VIP seat with meals for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the venue, we enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks, which was a lot of fun! The meal included a large lobster, meat dishes, fish dishes, bread, and dessert, leaving us completely satisfied! I didn't know how to eat the lobster, but the staff kindly taught me!

Once the show started, there were so many captivating moments, especially Michael and the fire show, which were impressive! At the end, we even got to take photos, making it the best trip to Hawaii ever!!

新婚旅行ということで、食事付きのVIP席にしました！会場に着いたらウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらおつまみも頂けて楽しめました！食事は大きなロブスター、お肉料理にお魚料理、パンとデザートがあり、お腹いっぱいで満足です！ロブスターは食べ方が分からなかったのですが、スタッフの方が親切に教えてくれました！笑笑
ショーが始まったら目の離せない場面ばかりで、特にマイケルとファイヤーショーが印象的です！ラストは写真まで撮って頂き、最高のハワイ旅行になりました！！

It was just a 10-minute program, but I was able to feed the dolphins three types of fish, dance with them using my favorite toy that I chose, and take a lot of photos with the dolphins. I'm really glad I participated in such a fulfilling program!

I think my enjoyment was also due to my complete lack of issues with English. Since communication with the trainers and the reception staff is in English, I imagine that those who lack confidence in their English conversation skills might only enjoy about 70-80% of the experience.

たったの10分のプログラムでしたが
イルカに3種類の餌の魚をあげたり
自分の選んだ好きなおもちゃでイルカと一緒に踊ったり、イルカと沢山の写真を撮っていただいて大変身のあるプログラムで参加して良かったです！

ただ私は英語能力に関しては全く問題ないのも楽しめた要因だと思います。トレーナーの皆さんや受付の方とコミュニケーションは英語になるので英会話に自信が無い方は楽しさも7-8割になるのかなぁと想像してます。

This was my second time at Sandbar. I had previously known about Captain Bruce's tours but had avoided them due to the cost. This time, I booked it at the request of my companion, and I received services that exceeded the price. The food on the boat was delicious, and the number of people on the tour was not too large. The staff was kind, and I had a great time.

サンドバーは2度目でした。以前も、キャプテンブルースのツアーは知っていましたが、料金面で避けておりました。
今回は、同行者の希望でこちらを予約しましたが、料金以上のサービスを受けられました。
船上の食事も美味しかったですし、ツアーの人数も多すぎず、スタッフも親切で楽しかったです。

Before the show, we had a meal at the buffet. There was pork, beef, chicken, and white fish. I thought it was quite tasty.
The show was enjoyable with impersonators and fire dancing. It was really great that it ended with the Hawaii Five-O theme song!

ショーを観る前にブッフェ での食事をしました。豚も牛もチキンも白身魚もありました。普通に美味しいと思います。
ショーは、そっくりさんが出てきたり、ファイアーダンスがあったりと楽しめました。最後、ハワイファイブオーの曲で終演したのがとてもよかったです！

We had an incredible guide for the whole day. The extra cost was worth being able to see most of PCC in a day with lots of information about each area! We had no stress as the guide got us around the park in a very well planned fashion. Even with the PCC app we would not have done all that we did if we were on our own without a guide.

Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!

I splurged on VIP seats for Michael, which I was really looking forward to! First, we enjoyed the meal, and then the opening! I was focused on the front, so I was surprised! We had a fantastic time with Presley, a local singer, and of course, Michael, along with hula and fire dancing.

The portion sizes were just right, and the staff was efficient. I think the show is well-adjusted for various age groups, so it would be great for families to experience together. After the show, they are friendly and willing to take photos with you.

マイケルを楽しみに奮発してVIP席を取りました！
まず、食事を堪能してから、オープニング！前方を注視していたので、ビックリしました！プレスリーと地元の歌手の方、楽しみにしていたマイケル、フラ、ファイアーダンスとてんこ盛りで楽しめました。
食事の量も丁度よく、スタッフもテキパキ。ショーの内容は、いろんな年代に広くアジャストするものだと思うので、ファミリーで体験するのも良いのではないかと思います。ショーの後も、気さくに写真撮影に応じてくれます。

We had a great time. Despite Neptune whipping sand up into the water making the clarity poor the crew made up for it and ensured we had a great time. We still saw green sea turtles both below and above the water. We had a great time just sailing the Cat when it was clear that snorkeling conditions weren't great.

I have used this place several times to celebrate my father's birthday. It started with a beautiful sunset, and after dinner, we went up to the cabin to enjoy the amazing night view. Each year, more hotels are being built, making the night view more vibrant.

親父の誕生日祝いに何度か利用させてもらってます。きれいな夕日からはじまり、食後はキャビンに上がって最高の夜景が楽しめました。年々ホテルが増えてきて、夜景がにぎやかになってきてます。

I attended a relative's wedding in Hawaii... aloha

The day before, we had a family dinner and went to see the Rock-a-Hula show, which I had really wanted to see when coming to Hawaii. ☝️

It was the best show where I could enjoy it together with the cast, just as I expected. The staff were friendly, which added to the fun.

Next time, I will go to see it with my friends.

親戚の結婚式がありハワイへ………aloha

前日、会食を兼ね親戚皆で
ハワイに来たら是非観たかった
ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。☝️

期待通りにキャストと一緒に楽しめる最高のショーでした。
スタッフの方も気さくで愉しさが増しました。

次はお友達と一緒に観にいきます。

I attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.

I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.

2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。

新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。

I finally got to see a sea turtle! I was so happy to see it up close, and the guide was bright, fun, and amazing! I was also thrilled that I could do stand-up paddleboarding.

念願のウミガメに会えました！
近くで見ることが出来て嬉しかったし
ガイドさんが明るく楽しく最高でした！
サップが出来た事も嬉しかったです

I was thrilled to see dolphins so clearly! I didn't expect to see them up close, so it was truly moving. The slide activity was incredibly fun!

イルカがばっちり見れて最高でした！
こんなに近くで見れると思ってなかったので感動でした。
アクティビティの滑り台が最高に楽しかったです！
