All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I participated with my 2-year-old. We joined in the morning, but despite that, the sandbar was already covered by the tide and we couldn't see it. I wonder if we needed to take an earlier tour? However, my child seemed very satisfied floating in the waves with a float. It was a beautifully sunny day, and the ocean was incredibly clear.

For lunch, we had burgers with charcoal-grilled patties. They were absolutely delicious! Since my child can't eat hamburgers yet, I brought rice balls.

We were lucky enough to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays up close! In the end, after playing a lot, they provided warm drinks for our chilled bodies, which was very satisfying. The staff were kind, and it was reassuring that they spoke Japanese. I would love to participate again.

2歳児連れて参加しました。
午前中に参加しました。にも関わらず、サンドバーはすでに潮が満ちてきていて見れませんでした。もっと早いツアーじゃないとダメだったんでしょうか？ですが、子どもは浮き輪で波に揺られて、大満足だったようです。良く晴れた日で、海がとっても綺麗でした。
お昼ご飯は炭火で焼いたハンバーグを挟んだバーガーでした。最高に美味しかったです！
子どもはまだハンバーガーを食べられないので、おにぎりを持参しました。
ウミガメはもちろんのこと、ラッキーにもマンタが間近で見れました！
最後はたくさん遊んで、冷えた体に、暖かい飲み物も出してくれて、大満足です。
スタッフさんも優しくて、日本語なので安心でした。また参加したいと思いました。

The sandbar tour, which can only be seen at low tide, was wonderful thanks to the friendly staff, and we had a great time. The weather was nice, we got to see the sandbar, and we enjoyed swimming around the anchored boat, where we spotted natural sea turtles multiple times.

Additionally, we had a snorkeling plan included, but we ended up retiring from that. Instead, we were able to borrow kayaks and floats, and we also had the opportunity to experience stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Although it was for a short time, we also enjoyed cruising on the cruiser, so thank you for that.

Thanks to the staff's fun conversations and attentive service, we had a lovely time. However, for those participating, since it involves snorkeling and a vacation at sea, I hope everyone prioritizes safety, follows the rules, and enjoys themselves responsibly. It was a fun and wonderful experience.

干潮時のみ、見る事の出来るサンドバーのツアーですが、スタッフさんの対応が良く、楽しく素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。お天気も良く、サンドバーも見れて、係留されたボートの周りを何度も泳ぐ自然なウミガメも見られて楽しく時間を過ごすことができました。
また、今回シュノーケルプランもついていましたが、私達はリタイヤしてしまいましたが、代替アクティティー
として、カヤックや浮き輪を貸して頂いたり、ＳＡＰ(スタンダップパドルボート)の体験もさせていただいた上に、少しの時間でしたが、クルーザーによるクルージングも体験させていただき、ありがとうございました。
スタッフさんの楽しいトークときめ細やかな対応で素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。ただ、参加される方についてはシュノーケルや海でのバカンスという事もあって、安全を最優先に考えてルールをしっかり守って自己責任で、管理した中で、楽しんでいただきたいなと思います。楽しく素敵な時間で良かったです。

The sandbar was very beautiful, but it was about waist-deep and was more ordinary than I had imagined... It might have been better to consider the tide times before going. The sea turtle watching was amazing; I was able to swim very close to the sea turtles, and it was an emotional experience!

サンドバーはとても綺麗でしたが、腰くらいまで深さがあり、想像していたより普通の海でした…潮の満ち引きの時間を考えて行った方が良かったのかもしれません。ウミガメウォッチはとても近くでウミガメと泳ぐことができ、感動しました！

I participated in the morning tour. It was a bit early, but the lunch buffet was delicious and I was very satisfied! I can't swim, so I gave up on snorkeling, but just playing around on the board was enough fun. Next time, I want to join the afternoon tour... next year? The year after? I will definitely choose Captain Bruce again!

午前のツアーに参加しました。少し時間は早めだったけど、ランチブッフェも美味しくて大満足！泳げないのでシュノーケリングは諦めましたが、プカプカとボードで遊ぶだけでも、十分楽しめました。今度は午後からのツアーに参加したいなぁ…来年？再来年？また絶対にキャプテンブルースを選びます！

The weather was great, and I really enjoyed the sandbar! The staff were all cheerful and entertaining, which made it a lot of fun.

天気も良く、サンドバーを満喫出来ました！
スタッフの方も明るく面白い方ばかりだったので楽しかったです。

The show featured performances that closely resembled those of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a two-in-one experience as we could also enjoy hula dancing. There was a great sense of unity between the performers and the audience, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Additionally, the meals were luxurious and served in generous portions that were more than enough to eat. Thank you for allowing changes to the standard menu. The welcome experience was also impressive, with hula dancing at the entrance, along with welcome drinks, snacks, and a variety of desserts. It was a very meaningful and fun time. I believe it's a show that you can watch multiple times without getting bored.

エルビスやマイケルジャクソンのショーがそっくりに演出されている上に、フラも見れるという一石二鳥のショー内容でしたが、出演者と観客との一体感もあり、
大変盛り上がって良かったです。また、食事も豪華な上、食べきれない程のボリュームもあり、食事内容も、スタンダードメニューからの変更も可能にしていただきありがとうございました。また、ウェルカム時のおもてなしの入り口でのフラダンスやウェルカムドリンクとスナックやデザートのサイドメニューも充実しており、大変有意義に、楽しく時間を過ごすことが出来て良かったです。何度見ても、飽きないショーだと思います。

We were the only Japanese people there, but it felt completely natural. The staff were great with small children, and those with experience studying abroad in Japan were very kind!

日本人は私たちだけでしたが、全く違和感なく、小さな子どもの対応も良く、日本に留学経験ありのスタッフも親切でした！

I went on a Saturday in October, and it was relatively empty, so I was able to ride without waiting. It was smaller than I imagined, but compared to places like Nagashima Spa Land, it was still American-sized and large. The shuttle service plan included a cheerful Hawaiian driver who picked us up.

10月の土曜に行ったが比較的すいていた為並ばずにすぐ乗れた
想像よりかは小さかったがナガスパとかに比べるとやはりアメリカンで大きい
送迎付きプランでお迎えのおじさんも陽気なハワイアンでした

The number of participants was too high compared to the size of the cruiser, making it difficult to find a place to sit during the cruise and at lunchtime, forcing us to stand the whole time. Additionally, the safety of snorkeling was entirely left to the individuals, with no supervision. Despite there being dangerous areas with depths over 10 meters, there were no staff monitoring the situation, nor were there any lifeguards available. It’s concerning that an accident could happen at any moment.

クルーザーの大きさに比べて参加人員が多く、クルージングの道中も昼食時も座るスペースが確保できず立ちっぱなし。またシュノーケルの安全面は全て本人任せで放置。水深が10メートル以上の危険箇所があるにもかかわらず、監視するスタッフもいなければ、ライフセーバーの用意もない。これではいつ事故が起きてもおかしくない。

It was a truly wonderful tour that created amazing memories. There was an American honeymoon couple, and we had a great time during meals. The setting sun was a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. However, I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant crew didn't engage with Japanese people as much compared to others. I wondered if they thought we didn't understand English or if they assumed we wouldn't tip. The tour was fantastic!

とても素晴らしい思い出になるツアーでした。
アメリカ人のハネムーンカップルもいて食事の時も盛り上がりました。
刻々と沈む太陽は一生の思い出になります。
ただ少し残念だったのは、レストランクルーが、他の国の人とくらべ日本人に対しあまりこえかけをしてくれませんでした。
英語がわからない人種と思われてるのか、はたまたチップを渡さない人種と思われたのか
少し気になりました。
ツアーは最高です！

I went with the Royal experience with my husband and 2 year old son. It was the first time Luau as a family. We absolutely loved it!!! The chief was very funny, and the show had a lot of audience engagements when the chief and his crews welcome audience up on the stage for dance and couple anniversaries. Food was very good and of course, the Mai Tai was amazingly tasty! Also, the activities before the show were really fun!!! My 2 year old son loved watching dances especially the last fire dance! He did not blink at all! I would totally recommend to everyone who has not experienced Luau but also to who wants more family oriented Luau experience.

Thank you, Chief and the crews for amazing Luau experience!!!

I was thrilled by the colors of the sea that I've never seen before and the beautiful location. During snorkeling, I even got to see a sea turtle, and I had a blast paddleboarding.

What impressed me the most was how bright, fun, and friendly the staff were.

There are no changing rooms or showers, so it's best to go in clothes suitable for entering the water and just throw on something over your swimsuit for the return trip. I was a bit worried about that, but I didn't feel sticky or uncomfortable after getting out of the water.

It was a wonderful tour where I experienced the best of Hawaii's stunning location and the warmth of its people.

見たことない海の色と美しいロケーションにテンション上がり続けました。
シュノーケリングでは海ガメとも会え、サップでおおはしゃぎしました
何よりスタッフの方皆さんが明るく楽しく気さくに対応くださったのがとても印象的です。

更衣室やｼｬﾜｰはないので、海に入れる服装で行き、帰りも水着の上に服を羽織る感じでした。
少し心配でしたが、海から上がったベタベタ感などはなかったので特に不快感なく過ごせました☺️

ハワイの最高のロケーションと人の温かさを感じる素敵なツアーでした

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.

At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.

Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...

I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.

父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。

最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。

先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…

父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

I was able to go to the Rock-A-Hula Luau green room package. I got to go explore backstage and get a tiny glimpse of how all the action happens. I also got to take a picture with Michael Jackson before the show. The staff and crew members were very kind and made sure that everything was to my liking. I described this show as a Luau like no other because it was a Luau with a twist. All the music were the classics from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the local culture included into the dance routine and into the stage outfits. The show also featured a local girl with a beautiful voice. For those who would like to watch a Luau in cushioned chairs and indoors I would definitely recommend this Luau to you!

It was a best choice to select the above ticket. My hubby was called to come to the main stage during the program. Unforgettable memories !!!

The atmosphere of the cruise felt like being in Hawaii, which was great! If you can speak English, I think it would be fun to communicate with various people.

Since it was Friday, we were able to see an impressive fireworks display.

クルーズの雰囲気がハワイに来た感じがしていいです！
英語が話せれば、いろんな人とコミュニケーションが取れるので、楽しいと思います。

金曜日でしたので、迫力のある花火がみれました。

I splurged a little and made a reservation for a VIP seat by the stage. First, we took photos with the star (playing the role of Elvis Presley), then enjoyed some snacks while sipping Mai Tais at the VIP welcome reception. We entered our seats next to the stage through the VIP entrance, and started our meal from the menu in the attached photo. The show began around the time we finished eating.

We enjoyed performances by Johnny Fortuno as Elvis Presley, Corey Melton as Michael Jackson, and Siena Sousa (a singer-songwriter based in Honolulu), along with hula dancing by Rock-a-Hula dancers. The highlight was the fire knife dance, and we were thoroughly entertained in the best seats, leaving us very satisfied. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after receiving a 10% discount, I was very pleased with the experience and the content.

少し奮発して、ステージサイドVIP席で予約をしました。
最初にスター（プレスリ役）の人との写真撮影、その後VIPウェルカムレセプションでマイタイを飲みながらおつまみをいただき、VIP専用口からステージ横の席へ、添付写真のメニューの食事開始、食事が終わったころにショーが始まりました。
エルビス・プレスリー by ジョニー・フォーテューノ、マイケル・ジャクソン by コーリー・メルトン、シエナ・スーザ (ホノルルを拠点にするシンガー・ソングライター)による歌とロック・ア・フラダンサーによるフラダンス、圧巻は
ファイアーナイフダンスと盛りだくさんで飽きることなく一番良い席で大満足の鑑賞をすることができました。
最初は少し高い思っていましたが、10%割引きしてもらって、内容もよく大満足でした。

My son loves it, and we go every year. This year, Dad joined for the first time. We were able to go all the way to the back during the wave pool, and my son seemed to have a great time.

This year, there were surprisingly many people, and most of the slides were open at the same time, so we were able to enjoy various attractions. Usually, there are fewer staff, and you have to time your visits to the slides when staff are present to use them.

Another downside is that the operating hours are short, from 10:30 AM to 3:00 PM (due to transportation, we can only play for a shorter time than the actual hours).

If we can, I think we'll go again next year!

息子がお気に入りで、毎年行っています。今年はパパも初参加。波のプールの時に奥の方まで行くことが出来て、息子も楽しそうでした。
今年は意外と人が多かったのか、ほとんどのスライダーが同時間にやっていて、色々楽しめました。例年はスタッフが少ないのか、スライダーが時間別でスタッフが居るところを狙って行かないと出来なかったので。
あとは10時半から15時までと営業時間が短い（送迎がるので実際の営業時間よりも短い時間しか遊べない）のがマイナス要因がです。
来年も行ければ行くかな♪

You can have a great time enjoying the pool and slide facilities, but there was only one restaurant available for lunch, which resulted in long lines and felt like a waste of time for the tour participants. Additionally, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was excessively cold, which was tough on our bodies after getting out of the pool. This time, we were unfortunately caught in a long downpour and had to seek shelter, but the kids were very satisfied, so I would like to consider joining again next time, depending on the weather.

プールやスライダー施設で思いきり楽しめますが昼食時のお店が1件しか無く、結果大行列に時間を費やしツアー参加者には時間のロスに感じました。また送迎バスの冷房が異常に寒くプール上がりの身体に堪えました。今回は長時間のスコールに振られ雨宿りも残念でしたが、子供は大満足でしたので次回はお天気と相談して参加したいと思いました

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。
