All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

At first, I was nervous.
Snorkeling was fun, just like sailing. There were many turtles, and I was able to observe them up close.

最初、緊張しましたが。
シュノーケルは、セーリングとも楽しかったです。亀さんか、沢山いて、身近で眺める事が出来ました。

We really enjoyed the day and had an excellent guide - JJ. Her beautiful smile was refreshing as was everyone's who worked there. Seemed like they all enjoy their job and are proud of the PCC.
So much education, impossible to see and grasp in one day. Beautiful scenery, wonderful entertainment. Was a little too warm, could have used a little AC here and there but no complaints!

Initially, we hoped for a sunset cruise, but it was fully booked even a week in advance during summer vacation. However, the daytime cruise was available even two days prior. My parents in their 70s and my elementary school-aged child were able to enjoy the views of the Hawaiian sea and the sea breeze unique to sailing. The scenery might be better during the day. My middle school son is prone to seasickness and felt quite exhausted, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're susceptible to it.

There were many foreign tourists, but it wasn't a problem at all. You can order drinks, but I didn't see many people doing so. We had our photos taken before boarding, but I had no idea when they were selling them, and my limited English made it difficult to confirm. Also, when boarding and disembarking, we had to take off our shoes and walk in the water or up the stairs of the boat, which was challenging for my mother with foot issues, but the staff were very helpful. We had heard we might see dolphins or sea turtles, but unfortunately, we didn't. Overall, we were satisfied.

当初サンセットクルーズを希望していましたが、夏休みで一週間前でも満席でしたが、こちらの日中のクルーズは前々日でも大丈夫でした。70代の両親も小学生の子供もハワイの海からの景色と帆船ならではの海風を楽しんでもらうことができました。日中の方が景色はよく見えて良いかもしれません。中学生の息子は元々船酔いしやすく、グッタリしていましたので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いです。
外国人観光客も多かったですが、特に問題ありませんでした。飲み物を注文できますが、頼んでいる人はあまり見かけませんでした。また、乗船前に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、販売をどのタイミングでしていたのか、全くわからないまま、英語力もないので確認できませんでした。また、乗船時と下りるときは靴を脱いで海の中を歩いたり船の階段を上りますので、足の悪い母は大変でしたが、スタッフの方も助けていただきました。イルカやウミガメに会えるかもと聞いていましたが、残念ながら会えずでした。でも全体的には満足しております。

On the way to the sandbar, I was able to see sea turtles multiple times while snorkeling. It was a wonderful experience.
The scenery at the sandbar was very beautiful and impressive, but there were gravel and stones on the ground, which were quite painful to walk on barefoot, so I strongly recommend wearing water shoes.

サンドバーに向かう途中、シュノーケリング中など何回もウミガメに会うことができました。とてもいい経験になりました。
サンドバーは景色がとても綺麗で感動的でしたが、地面に砂利や石があって裸足だとかなり痛いのでマリンシューズを履くことを強くお勧めします。

At the sandbar, the water level was up to my knees. It's not possible to time your visit perfectly for low tide, and based on past comments, it seems it was deeper at times, so I thought those who could stand on the sand were quite lucky. However, while snorkeling, we encountered a honu swimming by us. Additionally, we found three resting under the rocks, so it's worth keeping an eye out for them. The footage taken by the staff with my GoPro while diving turned out to be the best shot of this trip.

サンドバーでは膝上までの水位がありました。ちょうど干潮を狙っていくことはできないし、過去のコメントを見ると、もっと深かったというのもあったので、砂の上に立てる人はかなりラッキーなのでは？と思いました。
でも、シュノーケリングでは私たちのそばを泳いでいくホヌに会えました。また、水中では、岩場の陰で休んでいるのも3匹も見つけたので、注意して探してみるといいでしょう。持って行ったGOPROで、スタッフの方が潜って撮ってくれたものは、この旅行のベストショットとなりました。

I was unsure whether to go alone by bus, but I decided to join the round-trip shuttle bus tour. The pickup location was not at my hotel, but it was within a few minutes' walk. After riding a mini bus for about 30 to 40 minutes, we arrived at the facility near Kailua Beach. Several Japanese staff members were waiting to explain the services.

I rented a bicycle for $10 and went snorkeling at Lanikai Beach, which was about a 15-minute ride from the facility. It was a bit chilly and rainy that day, so I couldn't snorkel for long, but the sea was beautiful, just as I had heard, and the beach was not crowded. I took photos with the Mokulua Islands in the background. I then rode my bike to Kailua Beach, which took about 5 minutes (be careful of the hill).

I planned to swim at Kailua Beach, but I gave up because the rain got stronger. I decided to return to the facility for lunch. The tour included free rentals other than bicycles, and I could eat lunch at the facility's restaurant or a nearby pizza place. When I returned to the facility around noon and went to the nearby pizza place, I found out it opened at 1 PM, so I had to give up on that. I was disappointed because I wanted to eat pizza.

I rode my bike to Kailua town, which took about 15 minutes. There was a lot of traffic, so I had to be careful while riding. After having lunch in town, I enjoyed shopping at stylish shops and had some delicious dessert before returning to the facility to take the mini bus back to the city.

It was a fulfilling tour without any wasted time. It's a pity it wasn't sunny, so I plan to try again next year.

単独でバスで行くか迷ったが、往復シャトルバスツアーに参加。
ピックアップ場所は、滞在先ホテルではなかったが、徒歩数分圏内。
ミニバスに乗り30〜40分でカイルアビーチ近くの施設へ。
日本人スタッフが数名待機して、サービスの説明。
自転車を$10でレンタルして、ラニカイビーチまでシュノーケリング。

カイルアビーチで泳ごうと思ったが、雨が強くなった為、断念。
施設へ戻りランチをすることに。ツアーには、自転車以外のレンタル品は無料で施設内のレストランか近隣のピザ屋？でランチが食べられる。
12時頃に施設へ戻り近隣のピザ屋へ行くと営業は13時からとことで断念。
ピザが食べたかったので残念。自転車でカイルア市内へ。15分程度。自動車の交通量が多いので運転に注意。市内でランチを済ませ、オシャレなショップで買物三昧。美味しいデザートを食べて施設へ戻り復路のミニバスで市内へ。
無駄のない充実したツアーだ。快晴ではなかったので残念。来年再チャレンジ

The tour crew was warm, kind, and made it possible for us to spend a wonderful time in the long-awaited paradise of the sea. While the weather is important, I truly felt that the smiles and friendly responses from the crew were essential to the tour experience. Thank you very much!

ツアーのクルーの皆さんも温かく、優しく、楽しい時間を念願の天国の海で過ごすことが出来ました。
天気も重要ですが、クルーの方々の笑顔や気さくな対応が本当にツアーにとっては重要だなと感じたクルーズでした。
有難うございました！

Since it is located in the Royal Hawaiian Center, I made a reservation at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, and after dining, we went for cocktails and the show. I went with my daughter and my grandson, and although my daughter belongs to a generation that doesn't know Elvis, she enjoyed it as she recognized some of the songs. My grandson also had fun doing the hand movements from Michael's "Thriller." Of course, I belong to the generation that grew up with Elvis and Michael, so I had the most fun. The hula was great too, and the fire dancer was impressive. After the show, I purchased a photo with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中にあるため、ウルフギャングステーキを予約していたので、食事した後カクテルとショーのみで予約して行きました。
小学校低学年の孫と娘といきましたが、娘はエルビスは知らない世代ですが、聞いたことのある曲もあるということで楽しんでいましたし、孫もマイケルのスリラーの手の振りなどして、楽しんでいました。
もちろん私はエルビスとマイケルどんぴしゃの世代なので一番楽しかったです。ほかにもフラもよかったし、ファイアーダンスの男の人も圧巻でした。
終わってから、マイケルとの写真も購入しいい思い出となりました。
またハワイに行ったら行きたいです。

I was able to make a great reservation that included a shuttle bus to Tantalus Lookout. Since it was the day of arrival, I could relax at the hotel until just before the reservation, and it was nice that it was only about a 5-minute walk from the hotel (RYHW). The appetizers, pasta, main course, and dessert were all delicious, and I was able to get a refill on the bread, making my first day in Hawaii very enjoyable. I was told that those who came without a reservation would have a table available after three hours, so it was definitely the right choice to book early.

タンタラスの丘へのシャトルバスもついて、お得に予約出来ました。
到着日だったので、予約直前までホテルでのんびり休んでから行けたこと、ホテル(RYHW)から徒歩5分くらいと近かったのも良かったです。
前菜、パスタ、メイン、デザートどれも美味しく、パンのおかわりも頂け、ハワイ初日を満喫しました。
予約なしで来店された方は3時間後ならお席が用意出来ます！と言われていたので、早めに予約をして正解でした。

This is my second visit! It was disappointing that the Ohana was under maintenance, but the slides and wave pool were thrilling and fun. The shuttle service was right on time, and I was able to sleep soundly both going and coming back.

参加2回目です！目玉のオハナが点検中だったのは残念だったけど、スライダーも波のプールも迫力あって楽しかったです送迎も時間ピッタリで、行きも帰りもぐっすり眠れました‍♀️

I participated with my two children.
During the cruise, we encountered many honu (sea turtles)!
There were even baby honu.
The staff pointed out the direction on the clock, so we didn't miss anything.
At the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and practiced snorkeling.
For lunch, we had delicious hamburgers with freshly grilled patties! My kids went back for seconds!
We also enjoyed snorkeling around the coral reefs.
This is a highly recommended tour that even toddlers can participate in without any difficulty.

こども2人連れて参加しました。
クルーズ中には何匹ものホヌに遭遇！
赤ちゃんホヌもいましたよ。
スタッフが時計の何時方向にいるよーとおしえてくれるので、見逃すことなし。
サンドバーでは、ビーチバレーをしたり、シュノーケルの練習。
ランチは焼きたてのパテを挟んだハンバーガー！とっても美味しかったです。
こどもはおかわりしてました！
そしてサンゴ礁のあたりでシュノーケルを満喫。
幼児でも無理なく参加できるおススメのツアーです。

I had so much fun the first time that I wanted to experience it again! This time, the wind was strong and I felt a bit nervous at first, but once I got used to it, it was really enjoyable. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is beautiful, but as the catamaran moves, the changing shades of blue in the ocean are truly breathtaking.

1度目にとても楽しかったので、もう一度体験したい！と思い参加しました。
今回は、風が強くはじめのうちは少し緊張しましたが、慣れたらやっぱり楽しかったです。
海からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵ですが、カタマランが進むにつれて海の青が変化して感動します。

My son wanted to see an authentic fire show, so we participated for the first time.

There were many foreign guests. The bus guide's high-energy talk was in English, and it was enjoyable.

The entire show was well-structured, combining experience, participation, and viewing, and we had a great time. If the food had been a bit tastier, it would have received a "perfect!" rating.

息子が本場の炎のショーを見たいとのことで、
はじめて参加しました。

外国人のお客さんが多かったです。
バスガイドさんのハイテンショントークは
英語でしたが楽しかったです。

ショー全体も、体験～参加～観賞と
上手く構成されていて、十分楽しめました。
ごはんがもう少し美味しければ
『最高でした！』評価でした。

I think it would be smooth to practice snorkeling in your home bath before going. It’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick during the trip. My child got sick on the bus, but we forced him onto the boat to the sandbar. I knew he would be fine once he could stand in the water.

The scenery was beautiful, and I was thrilled to see six turtles while snorkeling. The staff was friendly, and I felt safe and enjoyed myself.

I highly recommend this activity!

シュノーケリングが出来るように、自宅の風呂で練習してから行けばスムーズかと思います。道中は酔わないように酔い止めを飲むと良いと思います。うちは子供がバスの中で酔ってしまいましたが、半ば無理やり船に乗せサンドバーへ。足がつけば平気になるのはわかっていたので。
景色は素敵でシュノーケリング中に亀を6匹見つけたり感動ものでした。スタッフも親切だし安心して楽しめました。
オススメのアクテビティです！

I went in February.
I was very satisfied to see many whales.
It became a good memory.
It was difficult to take photos, but it was fun.

2月に行きました。
たくさんのクジラを見ることができて大満足でした。
良い思い出になりました。
写真を撮るのは難しかったですが、楽しかったです。

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

This sailing experience is reasonably priced, and surprisingly, it takes you out to the ocean, allowing you to enjoy the changing colors of the sea with Diamond Head in the background while viewing the hotels around Waikiki from the water. If you're lucky, you might even spot a graceful honu swimming, which brings a sense of happiness.

However, one point to note: although the duration is short, there is no shade on the water, and the sun can be quite strong, so especially for women, a hat, sunglasses, and a light jacket are essential!

このセーリングはリーズナブルですが、以外と沖までクルーズしてくれるので、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに徐々に海の色が変わっていく様子を体験しながら、ワイキキ周辺のホテル群を海側から見ることができますし、運が良ければ優雅に泳ぐホヌも見かけることがあり、幸せな気分になります。
ただ、１点だけ注意。短い時間ですが、洋上には日陰がなく、日差しが強いので、特に女性は帽子にサングラス、パーカー必須かな⁉️

At Sandbar, the experience on the boat and in the water was more comfortable than I imagined. For lunch, we had burgers with grilled meat prepared on the boat! And the best part is that drinking beer while in the ocean is something you wouldn't think is possible in Japan. We started playing beach volleyball with just 2 or 3 people, but before we knew it, more people joined in, and it became a blast! Snorkeling was also great, as we had about an hour to move freely and enjoy ourselves!

サンドバーでは、想像以上に過ごしやすい船の上と水の中。お昼は、船の上で焼いてくれたお肉を挟んだハンバーガーを！そして、何より海のに入りながらビールを飲んでもオッケーというのは、日本では考えられませんね。ビーチバレーも、最初は2、3人で初めてていましたが、いつの間にか人が増えて盛り上がり、最高でした！シュノーケリングも、約１時間も自由に動けるので、楽しめます！

It was amazing!
There were a variety of slides.
The lazy river didn't flow very much, but I'm glad it was sunny.

最高でした！
スライダーの種類が豊富。
流れるプールはあまり流れなかったけど
晴れてよかったです。

Really nice experience guided by really nice and professional people. Highly recommended.

I was able to encounter a pod of wild dolphins! As soon as we spotted the dolphins, we hurriedly put on our fins and masks. At the captain's signal, we jumped into the sea one after another and swam to the location guided by the staff. When we looked underwater at the signal, we could see dozens of dolphins swimming below us! The water was incredibly clear, providing excellent visibility. It was a great experience.

We raced the boat to the best spot, waited, and signaled; I believe that if any of these elements were missing, the timing wouldn't have worked out. It truly felt like a long-established tour!

Even after getting back on the boat, the pod of dolphins swam alongside us. (This seems to be rare.) At this time of year, there were also baby dolphins, and we were able to see the dolphins jumping, which made for an exciting time.

While the time with the dolphins was wonderful, there were a few things I would like to see improved, which is why I’m giving it one less star.
- I would have liked it to be clearly stated that we needed to swim quickly on our own to see the dolphins. (I had a parent in their 60s who is not a strong swimmer with me.)
- The time we could see the dolphins underwater was very brief. (Once the pod passed by, we got back on the boat and moved straight to the water play point.) I would have liked to have more time to see them in the sea again.
- I purchased photos, but none were taken underwater. (It was the maximum number of passengers on board that day, so perhaps the photographer couldn't manage?) It felt like there were many photos of children. While there were photos taken on the boat, the commemorative photos with the staff were in a conveyor-belt style, so we weren't looking at the camera. It was disappointing, especially since it cost $79.

The staff were cheerful, and the boat was lively with dancing and singing, making it a good experience where I could feel the beauty of Hawaii's nature.

野生のイルカの群れに会えました！
イルカを発見すると急いでフィンとマスクを装着。船長さんの合図で次々に海に飛び込み、スタッフの誘導する場所まで泳ぎます。合図で海中を見ると何十頭のイルカの群れが下を泳いでいくのが見えました！海は透明度抜群で視界もクリア。いい体験ができました。
ベストな場所へ船を走らせ、待機し、合図、このどれが欠けてもタイミングは合わなかったと思います。さすが老舗ツアーだと思いました！
船に上がってからもイルカの群れが船と並走。(珍しいそうです。)時期的に赤ちゃんイルカもいて、イルカのジャンプも見ることができ、ワクワクな時間が続きました。

イルカとの時間は素適でしたが、いくつか改善してほしいこともあり星マイナス1。
・イルカを見るために急いで自力で泳ぐ必要があることは明記してほしかった。(泳ぎの得意でない60代の親が一緒でした。)
・イルカを水中で見れたのは一瞬だった。(群れが通り過ぎたら船に上がってそのまま水遊びポイントへ移動してしまう。)もう一度海の中で見る時間をとってほしかった。
・写真を購入したが海の中で1枚も撮ってもらえなかった。(当日は乗船可能人数maxだったのでカメラマンの手が回らなかった？)子どもの写真が多い印象。船の上では写っていましたがスタッフとの記念写真も流れ作業状態なのでカメラ目線になっていなくて…。79ドルもしたのに残念です。

スタッフも明るく船内もダンスや歌で盛り上がり、ハワイの自然を感じられる良い体験はできたと思います。

This tour is the best way to get the full Pearl Harbor experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our curious and random questions. He did an excellent job of corralling such a large group in time to move from one exhibit to the next. We would have been lost without him. My favorite part of the tour was the boat ride out to the Arizona Memorial. Even though the memorial was closed at the time, seeing the Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri up close out on the water was quite humbling and awe-inspiring. Visiting Pearl Harbor is a top Oahu destination, and this tour is the best way to go!

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

There were points where we got splashed by the waves, but the sea breeze felt great, and the view of the city and Diamond Head from the ocean was really beautiful. We were lucky to see a group of sea turtles and dolphins jumping as well.

途中ばっしゃんばっしゃん波しぶきを浴びるポイントもありましたが、海風は気持ちいいし海から眺める街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドもとってもきれいでした。ウミガメやイルカの群れ＆ジャンプも見ることが出来てラッキーでした。

Great snorkeling! We saw tons of green sea turtles, fish and spinner dolphins! The sail after the snorkel was fantastic as well!

The pool is a lot of fun, and the slide is easy to ride. There were times when no one was at the slide start point, which might be due to a lack of staff. It's different from the safety standards in Japan. My 11-year-old daughter found the slide too intense and said she would never ride it again.

I wanted a place to rest, so I reserved a cabana in advance. It came with a private float and water. My daughter got sick from playing too much in the wave pool, and we were able to relax on the cabana bed. We also had lunch in the shade. You can have lunch delivered to you as well. We were able to close the curtains and change clothes too. I'm really glad I reserved the cabana.

プールはとても楽しいし、スライダーもスイスイ乗れます
スタッフが足りないのかスライダースタート地点に誰もいない事がありました。日本の安全感覚とは違うのですね〜
11歳の娘はスライダーの激しさに二度と乗りませんでした。

休憩できる場所がほしくてカバナを事前に頼んでおきました
専用浮き輪も、水等も付いていて♩
波のプールで遊びすぎた娘が酔ってしまい、カバナのベッドでゆっくり休めました。ランチタイムも日陰でとれました。ランチを届けてもらう事もできます。
カーテンしめて着替えも出来ました♩
本当にカバナは予約しておいてよかったです

The sandbar was a bit different from the photos as it was submerged in the sea that day, but I still enjoyed it. The snorkeling afterwards was great as I could freely explore around the coral. I even got to see sea turtles from the boat. Surprisingly, the hamburgers were freshly grilled and very delicious, making for a satisfying day!

サンドバーはこの日は海につかっていてちょっと写真と違いましたが、楽しめました。その後のシュノーケリングも珊瑚の周りを自由に見れてよかったです。船でウミガメにも会えました。
意外？にハンバーガーが焼き立てでとても美味しく満足の1日でした！

Nice folks running the show, met a couple people who are now on my FB friends. Hubby was able to get another burger! Playing Volleyball out in the middle of the Ocean is quite an XP. Plus, we get to see Turtles swimming around. So overall, a success!

The day I participated, it was packed with about 40 people, and there was barely enough room to sit. There were four crew members. I attended with elementary school children, but the explanation for using the snorkeling gear was very brief, and after that, everyone pretty much did their own thing. During sailing, the crew said it was optional to wear life jackets, and since they came around to collect them, none of the participants ended up wearing them.

I was able to see a sea turtle, and I spotted dolphins jumping in the distance, which was great, but I felt it might be more of an adult-oriented tour.

参加した日は40人くらいの満員状態で席もギリギリ座れるという状態でした。クルーは4人でした。小学生を連れての参加でしたがシュノーケリングの使い方はサラッと説明するくらいで、始まってからはほとんど各自で勝手にやるというかんじでした。セーリングの時は救命胴衣は着けても着けなくてもよいと言ってクルーが回収しにきて参加者全員着用してませんでした。
ウミガメは見れたし、遠くでイルカが飛び跳ねてるのが見えたので良かったですが、大人向けのツアーかな？と思いました。

I felt that both the dancers and the hosts were top-notch. The food was also delicious. This time, I had a golden seat right next to the stage, but I think you can enjoy it just as much from the seats further back.

ダンサー、司会者共に一流だなと感じました。
食事も美味しかったです。
今回はゴールデンシートで、ステージ真横の席でしたが、後方の席でも充分見えるし楽しめると思います。
