All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

On my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to see an authentic hula dance show, so I booked this VIP course. I was excited as soon as I walked on the red carpet, and the welcome drink followed by dinner at the VIP seats was delightful. The lobster, along with the main steak and salmon, was satisfying in both volume and service. It was also great to be smoothly guided through the VIP entrance.

The show started with a surprise when a man was lowered upside down right in front of us (even though I had heard about it beforehand). The hula and Polynesian dances were of outstanding quality, and I was captivated by the professional performances. The dancers were incredibly sharp! The impersonations of Elvis and Michael were very well done, and the songs were perfectly suited to our generation (in our 60s), allowing us to enjoy the show from start to finish. The fireman show, where they handled flaming torches, left me in awe—how could they hold those?! I was overwhelmed the entire time.

I also purchased a photo taken with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to come back to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

初めてのハワイ旅行で、本場のフラダンスショーを見てみたいと思い、こちらのVIPコースを予約してもらいました。まず通されるレッドカーペットに気持ちが盛り上がり、ウェルカムドリンクからの、VIP席でいただくディナー。ロブスターをはじめ、メインのステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームもサービスも満足いくものでした。VIP用入り口からスムーズに案内していただけたのもよかったです。
ショーは、まず目の前に降りてきた逆さ吊りの男性に驚き（事前に聞いていたのに）、
フラ、ポリネシアンダンスはクオリティが素晴らしく、プロのパフォーマンスに釘付けになりました。ダンサーのみなさんの身体のキレがすごい！ エルビス、マイケルのモノマネも、非常に上手く、また私たちの年代（60代）にがっちり合った曲ばかりで、最初から最後まで楽しめました。 火のついたたいまつを操るファイアーマンショーは、目の前で見ても、何故あれを持てるのか！？ 終始圧倒されました。
マイケルと一緒に撮った写真も購入して、とっても良い思い出になりました。また、ハワイに来る際には観にきたいと思います。

The shuttle bus staff were friendly and good!
The activity staff were cheerful and good!
Despite such a beautiful beach, it was never crowded, which was good!
The lunch included in the package was satisfying and good!
Next time, I want to try a different activity!

送迎バスのスタッフも気さくな方でGOOD！
アクティビティのスタッフも明るくてgood!
あんなキレイなビーチなのに混雑とは皆無でgood!
セットに入ってるランチも満足でgood！
今度は、違うアクティビティをやりたいなぁ〜

Very interactive - they do a wonderful job of showing you how things were done back then. You get to help cook some foods (I wish we could have eaten) and get a good look at how they lived! Cousin Billy was funny and very informative, even during our ride from Waikiki to Waimea Valley. The food and drinks did not disappoint either! After dinner the entertainment is second to none - they put on one heck of a show!

We booked VIP and loved sitting up close, but there is not a bad seat in the pavilion.

Our only complaint is that the Toa Luau ruined our other Luau. We attended Toa on Monday and then went to Diamond Head Luau on Thursday and it wasn't even close!!!

Thank you Toa Luau for one of our most memorable experiences while in Hawaii!!

The whole crew was great and the variety of activities made this a great value. Snorkeling reef was a lot of fun. Even on a rainy day this is a great trip.

Well organised excursion to see the Arizona Memorial with sightseeing of Honolulu surroundings. There was also an option to add on more to this trip eg the Missouri ship. A little more time at the Pearl Harbour centre would have been better, however the short time at the actual Arizona Memorial was as per the rules of the memorial, and not set by the tour itself. The film before the trip to the actual memorial was excellent. I am mobility impaired and was using a walker, and found my needs amply catered for, and was made to feel valued and welcome.

I thoroughly enjoyed Germaines Luau especially since it was on the beach.
The food was very good, the show was outstanding.
This has been by far the best luau that I have attended and would
come back and do it again.

All I can say is it was exactly what we wanted. Great Great and Great!

It was really great. There were a lot of dishes, but it was a bit difficult to line up. The show was wonderful.

すごく良くよかったです。料理は沢山ありましが、並ぶのが少し大変でした。ショウは素晴らしいものでした。

When being picked up by the shuttle bus, we had to wait quite a while because someone who was supposed to get on at a certain hotel didn't show up by the scheduled time. I was getting frustrated, thinking, "What if we miss the pool opening time?" but we managed to make it just in time.
The attractions offered a mix of thrilling rides and relaxing experiences, and we had a great time. Even though we were a couple of middle-aged folks, we unabashedly returned to our childhood, squealing with joy.

迎えのバスにピックアップしてもらう際、あるホテルで乗るはずの人が予定時刻になっても現れずずいぶん待たされてしまいました。「プールの開園時間に遅れるのでは…」とイライラしましたが、どうにか間に合いました。
アトラクションはスリル系あり、のんびりゆったり系ありで十分楽しめました。当方アラフィフのおじさんおばさんでしたが、恥ずかしげもなくキャーキャーと童心に帰っちゃいました。

The crew was kind and all very fun, which was great. This was my third time participating, and the lunch was very delicious. I was also able to take pictures of the sacred turtles in Hawaii. It was an activity I definitely want to do again next time.

クルーも優しくて、楽しい方ばかりでとても良かったです。
今回3回目の参加で昼食もとてもおいしくて、ハワイでは神聖なカメの写真も撮ることができました。
次回も是非行きたいアクティビティでした。

I had hoped for a morning tour, but since there were no openings, I joined the afternoon tour instead. I was worried about the water depth, but there was indeed water up to my knees at the sandbar. Still, I was able to see the boundary between the deep blue sea and the clear light blue water, and the scenery was very beautiful. It seems that the encounter rate with sea turtles on this tour is high; they came close to us not only while snorkeling but also when we were in the shallow water. In addition to snorkeling, we could also do activities like stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing. For those who are anxious about snorkeling, it seems there are other activities available to enjoy. As for the meal, we were served Leonard's malasadas right after boarding. They were freshly baked and still warm, so they were very delicious. The barbecue was also served buffet-style, allowing us to eat as much as we wanted. The food was tasty, so I recommend going with an empty stomach. The guides were all very friendly, and I had a great time.

午前のツアーを希望していましたが、空きがなくて午後のツアーに参加しました。水深を心配していましたが、やはりサンドバーでも、膝まで水がありました。それでも、 青く濃い海と澄んだ水色の海の境界は見ることができ、景色はとても良かったです。また、こちらのツアーでのウミガメの遭遇率は高いようで、シュノーケルの時はもちろん、浅瀬にいた時にもカメの方から近寄ってきてくれました。 アクティビティは、シュノーケルの他、SAPやカヌーもできました。シュノーケルに不安がある方は、他のことをして遊べるようです。食事は、乗船してすぐにレナーズのマラサダが配られました。まだ温かい焼き立てをいただけるので、とても美味しかったです。バーベキューもビュッフェ形式で好きなものを好きなだけ食べられます。味も美味しいので、お腹を空かせて行くことをオススメします。ガイドさんもみなさん感じが良く、楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The timing was early November. It was cloudy with no sun, and it was cold. If there had been wind, I would have frozen to death. The tour guide said the sea was peaceful with almost no waves, but I still felt a bit seasick.

The biggest mistake was not considering the high tide times. (I think it would have been good to have a prior explanation when making the reservation.) I participated in the morning tour, but it coincided exactly with high tide, and even in shallow areas, the water was up to my chest. I couldn't walk on the sandy bottom as seen in the photos.

It was cold when I got in the water, and I felt seasick when I got back on the boat, so there was no escape. If there had been sandy areas, it would have been better...

In any case, since it's an activity involving nature, whether you can take great photos depends on the weather. It was nice to see sea turtles, and I enjoyed the stand-up paddleboarding as well.

時期は11月頭。曇りで太陽が出ず、寒かった。
もし風があったら凍え死んでた。波はほとんどなくpeacefulな海だとツアーガイドは言っていたが、それでも少し酔った。
一番失敗したのは、満潮の時間を考えなかったこと。（予約時に事前説明があっても良かったと思う）午前ツアーで参加したが、満潮の時間とちょうど被り、浅い所でも胸の深さまであった。写真で見るように砂地を歩くことはできなかった。
海に入ると寒いし、船に上がると酔うしで逃げ場がなかった。砂地があればまだ。。。

いずれにせよ自然相手のアクティビティなので、映える写真が撮れるかどうかも天候次第。
ウミガメが見れたのは良かった。SUPも楽しめた。

I attended Rock-A-Hula for the first time this past week and it was really entertaining! I went with a couple friends and we chose the Green Room Tour. With this package we were sat at a stage-level table so we were closest to the performers. The three course meal included lobster, beef tenderloin, salmon and was completed with a yummy mac-nut pineapple gelato. The cocktails were really good, my favorite was the lychee martini! It was really fun to be able to take photos with Michael Jackson before the show and they also offered us a complimentary glass of champagne. The show was very exciting and entertaining; my favorite performer was the local artist Meliana. All of the dancers, musicians, and singers were very talented and seemed like they all had a ton of fun up on stage. Overall, it was a great night and I would recommend it to anyone on vacation wanting a fun and entertaining night out.

I was able to see sea turtles quite closely, and the ocean was very beautiful and moving. During snorkeling, I couldn't find many sea turtles.

海ガメがかなり近くで見れましたし、海もとてもきれいで感動的でした。シュノーケルの時はあまり海ガメを見つけれませんでした。

First, before entering the venue, I enjoyed stylish drinks and snacks. I was surprised by the luxurious atmosphere from the start!

During dinner, I was delighted to have dishes like lobster and coconut ice cream that made me feel like I was in Hawaii. At the show, I got to see the hula dance performance I was looking forward to, along with songs from a rock singer. The hula dancers each showcased their unique and captivating styles, which was a lot of fun. The most memorable and exciting part was the songs and dances of Michael Jackson. On the way back, I even got to take a photo with Michael Jackson!

I was very satisfied with the luxurious dinner and show! I highly recommend it if you come to Hawaii!

まず、会場に入る前におしゃれな飲み物とおつまみを楽しめました。初めから豪華でびっくりです！
ディナーでは、ロブスターやココナッツアイスなどが食べられ、ハワイを感じられる料理で嬉しかったです。ショーではお目当てのフラダンスショーに、ロック歌手の歌を聞くことができました。フラダンスでは、ダンサー1人ひとりの個性ある魅力的なダンスを見ることができ楽しかったです。また、一番印象に残り、盛り上がったのはマイケルジャクソンさんの歌とダンスでした。帰りにマイケルジャクソンさんと写真も撮ってもらいました！
豪華なディナーとショーで大満足です！！ハワイに来たらとてもおすすめです！

We participated with our child! At first, my son was scared, but thanks to the staff, he ended up having a great time in the sea! They prepared a floating carpet on the water for the kids to play on, provided toys, and for those who didn't go snorkeling, they offered a small boat tour, making it a really enjoyable program! The food was delicious and fantastic too!

Above all, the staff was kind! We are grateful for their consideration in making sure both us and our child had fun! It was amazing to see sea turtles too!

子連れでの参加でした！が心配なく、初めに怖がっていた息子もスタッフさんのおかげで最後には楽しく海での時間を過ごしていました！！子ども達が遊べるように海の上に浮かぶじゅうたんのようなものを用意してくれて、その上でおもちゃを用意してくれたり、シュノーケリングをしなかった人には小さなボートで周遊してくれたり、すごく楽しめるプログラムでした！ご飯も美味しくて最高でした！！
とにかくスタッフが親切です！私達や子どもにまで楽しめるよう配慮して下さり感謝しています！ウミガメも見れて最高でした！

Since there are good options available, I think it would be better to include the details on the tour page.

The photos and videos were $79. Groups that opted for this option wear special rubber bands, which allows them to receive priority for photos. I was satisfied with the results. However, picking up the USB at the office near DFS the next day was a bit of a hassle. It would be nice if they could send it to Japan for an additional $15.

The wetsuit was $10. I tend to get hot, but it was a good decision to wear it. The seawater was quite cold.

せっかく良いオプションがあるので、
詳細をツアーページに記載した方がよいと思います。

写真&動画は$79でした。
このオプションを申し込んだグループは専用のゴムバンドを身に着けます。
そうする事で優先的に写真をとってくれます。出来栄えは満足です。
ただ翌日以降にUSBを
DFS付近のオフィスに受け取りにいくのがちょっとめんどう。
+$15で日本に送ってくれるような・・・

ウエットスーツ
$10でした。
暑がりですが着ておいて正解でした。
結構、海水が冷たかったです。

The content of the show was diverse and very enjoyable without being boring.

When you arrive at the reception, you need to obtain a printed paper with a barcode. Just to be safe, I arrived around 16:40, and there were only about two groups ahead of me in the general line. Since you sit in a vertical line, if you arrive late, you might end up behind tall people, making it hard to see, so I recommend arriving early. Those with priority definitely get in before the general admission, so there is quite a wait between entry and the commemorative photo session. Even after being seated, you have to wait for those who arrived later, so it can feel long while holding a drink. With the buffet-style food, you can only go around once, and because there are many people, you will have to wait. I recommend taking a larger portion of food. If you don’t mind waiting, it’s not a problem, but since it’s in a foreign country with English all around, it can feel like you're waiting longer than the time spent watching the show. However, surprisingly, there were no children throwing tantrums, perhaps because they understood it was a special place.

ショーの内容はバラエティ豊かで飽きずにとても良かったです。

受付に到着したら、バーコードが印字された紙の発行が必要です。念のため16：40ごろに到着したら、一般では前には2組ほどしかいなかったです。縦並びに座るので遅くくると背の高い人の後ろになって見にくくなるので、早めがオススメです。一般より上の方が断然優先なので、入場から記念撮影の間がとにかく待ちます。着席しても、今度は後ろに並んでる人から遅めにきた人まで待つのでドリンク片手に長い。1周しか取れないブュッフェスタイルのフードを取るにも、人数が多いだけあって待ちます。フードは多めに取ることをお勧めします。並ぶのは苦じゃない方ですが、異国で英語が飛び交う中なので、ショー見てる時間より長いんじゃないかって感じてしまいます。でも、子供は意外にも特別な場所ということが分かるせいかぐずってる子はいませんでした。

Chief's Luau was such a fun experience. The chief was such a funny person and made me laugh the entire time during the luau. The show was very intriguing, the Chief likes to have the audience take part in the show which made the experience personal. The weather was great the day I went so there was no rain at all which helped make the experience more enjoyable. The food was okay it wasn't something extraordinary but it was still good. My favorite part of the luau was when the chief had a special segment where he recognizes couples on their honeymoon and couples who have been married for a long time. The chief also helped someone propose to his love. He really acknowledges family and makes sure that everyone has a good time while they are at the luau. I would definitely recommend this luau to families and couples. 

This was my second time. This time I participated with my family. It would be perfect if the weather is nice; I would like to consider the timing and try again next time.

今回2回目
今回は家族で参加でした。天気が良ければ最高ですね、時期を考えて次回再チャレンジしたいと思います。

I participated at my sister's request to see dolphins!
We had an early departure, so I was very sleepy, but the kind and cool staff, along with the sweet and lovely team, made the time on the boat enjoyable.
We were able to swim with both dolphins and turtles safely!
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you so much.
I am truly grateful to all the staff led by Shota.
If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.
The pineapple we ate together after coming back from the sea and the warm drinks were also very delightful.

イルカに逢いたいという妹の希望で、
参加しました！
朝早い出発で、とても眠かったですが
優しくてカッコいいスタッフさんと

本当にありがとうございます。
ショウタさん筆頭とするスタッフの皆様には
感謝しかないです^ ^
また機会がありましたら
宜しくお願い致します。
海からあがった後の皆で食べたパイナップル、
あたたかい飲み物もとても嬉しかったです。

I was unsure at first, but choosing the VIP course was definitely the right decision. You can get excited right away at the VIP entrance with the red carpet. The dinner was delicious and the portion size was just right; I was almost completely satisfied except for the drinks being a bit weak. In the VIP seats, the cast comes down to the floor, creating a great sense of connection with the stage. You can take photos as long as you don’t use a flash! I thought it was a show that truly represents Hawaii.

迷いましたがVIPコースで大正解でした。レッドカーペットのVIP入場口でまず盛り上がれます。ディナーもおいしく量もちょうどよく、ドリンクが薄いこと以外はほぼ満足でした。ＶＩＰ席はキャストがフロアまで下りてきてくれるので、舞台と一体感がありますよ。フラッシュ無しであれば撮影もＯＫ！ハワイならではのショーだと思いました。

There were also 2 or 3 sea turtles that we could see, and on the sandbar, the staff actively took photos for us.

It was a lot of fun!

ウミガメも２・３頭いて見ることができ、
サンドバーでは積極的にスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれて

とても楽しかったです。

I was considering a show at the Polynesian Cultural Center located in the northeast of Oahu, but I made a reservation for this dinner show at the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is very conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki. The female singer's vocal ability, the impersonator of Michael Elvis, and the dancers' sharp performances provided an emotional entertainment experience from start to finish. The show also featured hula and fire dancing, allowing us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. The meal included a lobster appetizer and a double main of salmon steak, which was quite substantial. The service staff were also very pleasant.

オアフ島北東にあるポリネシアカルチャーセンターのショーを検討していましたが、こちらのディナーショーはワイキキの真ん中にあるロイヤルハワイアンセンターというアクセスがとても便利なロケーションなので予約しました。女性シンガーの歌唱力やマイケル・エルビスのそっくりさん、ダンサーたちのキレキレのパフォーマンスで最初から最後まで感動のエンターテイメントでした。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも散りばめられて、ハワイの雰囲気もしっかり味わえました。食事はロブスターの前菜とサーモン・ステーキのダブルメインでボリュームたっぷり。サービススタッフも感じがよかったです。

Since it wasn't peak season, the facilities were not crowded, and we were able to enjoy ourselves without any waiting time. However, there were some areas that were busy at certain times. Considering that the shuttle service took some time, it might be more efficient to use a rental car to get there.

ピークシーズンでなかったので、施設は空いていて待ち時間もなく楽しめた。ただ、時間帯によっては空いていない場所もあった。
送迎に時間がかかのでその点を考慮するとレンタカーで現地に行った方が時間を有効活用できるかもしれない。

I ordered show tickets only (with a photo option on a backing card) for my 0-year-old child. We entered as soon as the doors opened and first took some photos. After that, we sat in the free seating area, but it's better to arrive early to get a good spot. Since I had a child with me, I planned to change the diaper in the venue's restroom, but there was no changing table, so be careful. I had to go outside to find a restroom on the same floor. This was my second time at the show, and it was fun because the cast seemed to change frequently. This time, there was Presley, Michael, and a female singer from Hawaii?

0歳の子連れでショーチケットのみ（台紙付き写真オプション）を頼みました。開場と同時に中に入り、まずは写真を撮影します。
そのあと自由席で着席するのですが、早めに行く方が良い場所を取れます。
子連れだったのでおむつ替えを会場トイレでしようと思ったのですがおむつ替えの台がないので要注意、一旦外に出て同じフロアのトイレに行きました。
ショーは2回目ですが、キャストが色々変わるみたいで楽しかったです。
今回はプレスリー、マイケル、ハワイ出身の女性歌手？でした。

Elvis Presley is from a different generation, but Michael Jackson really got the crowd going. It was fun with a mix of hula dancing and fire dancing. I chose to attend the show only without the buffet, and that was enough. Although we were told to gather at 7:30, we had to wait a bit until the show started at 8. I think it would have been nice to enter the venue a little earlier than 8.

エルビスプレスリーは世代が違うのですが、マイケルジャクソンは盛り上がりました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも入り混ざってて楽しかったです。
ビュッフェなしショーのみの観覧を選択しましたが、十分でした。7時半集合との事でしたが、8時のショー開始まで少し待たされました。8時まえに会場入りしてもよかったかなと思います。

On the last day, I joined this tour to find a place to play in Honolulu in the morning. We took a boat from downtown Honolulu to a spot that wasn't too far away. Honestly, I thought it was a bit too close, but I was able to see at least three sea turtles! The water was a bit deep, so it wasn't incredibly clear, but the sea turtles were golden and divine! Moreover, I was able to see them come up to the surface for air, and at that moment, I was truly moved to be swimming so close to the sea turtles!

The cruising after snorkeling was just a slow ride around near Honolulu, so it wasn't particularly exciting, but I was very satisfied because I got to see the sea turtles!

最終日、午前中にホノルルで遊べるところを探してこのツアーに参加しました。ホノルルの中心部から船に乗って、それほど離れていないところまで移動、正直近すぎるポイントだなと思いましたが、ウミガメが少なくとも3頭見れました！少し水深は深いところなので海がめちゃめちゃキレイというわけではないのですが、ウミガメは金色で神々しい！しかも息継ぎに海面に顔を出すところまで見れて、その時にはほんとに間近でウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て感動です！
シュノーケリングした後のクルージングは、ホノルル近くをゆっくり走行しただけなので、それほど楽しいこともなかったのですが、ウミガメを見れたので大満足です！

I went to see it with my mother 25 years ago, and it became a wonderful memory. This time, we decided to go again after a long while. The food was very delicious. The stage performances, with live bands, featured amazing singing and dancing. I was happy to feel like I met the late Michael, and IZ's singing voice was also remarkably similar. Both Elvis and Michael had powerful voices even with their intense dancing, and I thought they were true professionals. There were also hula and Polynesian dances, allowing for a variety of enjoyable elements. This time also became a great memory. The people at the table next to us mentioned it was their second time during this trip. I highly recommend it!

25年前に母と二人で見に行き楽しい思い出になっています。
今回久しぶりに行ってみようと言うことになりました。
お食事はとても美味しかったです。
ステージも生バンドに合わせて歌やダンスが素晴らしかったです。
亡くなったマイケルに会えたようで嬉しかったし、IZの歌声もそっくりでした。
エルビスもマイケルも激しい踊りでもとても声量がありプロだなぁと思いました。フラやポリネシアンダンスもあり色々な要素で楽しめます。
今回もいい思い出になりました。
お隣のテーブルの方はこの旅行中に2回目だと話していました。
おススメです！

Unfortunately, the day of the event was marked by on-and-off rain, but once the cruise started, we could see a rainbow over Diamond Head the entire time, and it was truly beautiful!

I participated alone, and since the guide spoke English, I was initially anxious. However, both the guide and the captain of the cruise ship were friendly and charming women who really lifted the atmosphere, making it enjoyable.

Additionally, most of the other participants were older couples from Western countries, and it seemed rare to see a Japanese woman participating alone, so everyone came over to talk to me, which kept me from getting bored, haha.

Next time, I want to invite my mother and join again!

残念ながら参加日は雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、クルーズが始まると終始虹がダイアモンドヘッドに掛かっているのが見えて本当にキレイでした！
1人で参加し、ガイドも英語だったので最初は不安でしたが、ガイドとクルーズ船の船長さんが2人とも気作な可愛らしい女性で場を盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。
また、ほかの参加者はだいたい欧米人の老夫婦が多かったのですが、日本人女性が1人で参加しているのが珍しかったのかみんな話し掛けてきてくれて退屈しませんでしたw
次は母を誘ってまた参加したいです。
