All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The wind was strong, so the boat swayed more than I expected, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster! The scenery was also very beautiful, and it was a valuable experience. However, when I got off the boat, I found that the stroller I had left at the reception (or rather, I was told to leave it there and it was propped up at the reception) had been stolen. It was careless of me to bring it along.

風が強かったので、想像以上に船が揺れて、ジェットコースターにでも乗ったような感覚でした！景色もとても素敵で貴重な体験だったのですが、船から上がると、受付に預けていた(というか、ここに置いておいてと言われて、受付の所に立て掛けていた)ベビーカーが盗まれていたという。。持って行ったのは不用心でしたね(>_<)

It was the best sailing experience, enjoying a Mai Tai in hand! Shortly after departure, we were able to see turtles swimming.

This time, I participated with my mother, but it seems like it would be perfectly fine to join alone as well. There were just under 40 people on board, with only two other groups of Japanese participants. Most of the attendees were not Japanese, which added to the overseas atmosphere and made it even more enjoyable. It's completely fine if you don't understand English. Before boarding, we took a group photo, which can be purchased for $20 after disembarking for those who wish to.

You do get quite wet when boarding and disembarking. Those at the front of the boat (the side where you get on and off) got splashed directly by the waves and were pretty soaked. The sun was strong on the boat, but once we set sail, the wind felt really nice. As long as you apply sunscreen properly, sunburn shouldn't be an issue.

The boat does sway quite a bit during the trip, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some motion sickness medication to ensure you can enjoy the experience. A few people were struggling with seasickness.

It was so much fun and felt great, so I would like to participate in the sunset sailing next time.

マイタイ片手に楽しめる最高のセーリングでした！出航してまもなく亀が泳いでいるのを見ることができました。
今回は母と2人で参加しましたが、1人でも問題なく参加できそうです。
乗船人数は40人弱で他の日本人参加者は2組。日本人じゃない方がほとんどなのも、海外に来ている雰囲気をより味わえて楽しいです。英語はわからなくても全く問題ないです。乗船前にグループごとに記念撮影をし、希望者は下船後に20ドルで購入できます。
船に乗り降りする時に結構濡れます。また船の前方(乗り降りする側)にいた人達は波が直接かかるのでかなり濡れていました。船上は日差しが強いですが、出航してしまえば風がとても気持ち良かったです。日焼け止めをしっかり塗っておけば日焼けも問題なかったです。
船は途中結構揺れるので、船酔いが気になる方は酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が確実に楽しめます。何人か船酔いに苦しんでました。
とても楽しくて気持ち良かったので、今度はサンセットセーリングにも参加したいと思います。

Good point
- The lunch is very delicious.
- Drinks are free (alcohol is extra).
- The sea is beautiful.
- I got to see a sea turtle!

Disappointing point
- Since the tour arrives in the afternoon, the sea was high tide and the sandy beach was not visible. It might be better to think that this tour is not one where the sandy beach is exposed.

Good point
・lunchがとても美味しい
・ドリンクも無料（アルコールは別）
・海が綺麗
・ウミガメに会えた！

残念point
・午後に到着のツアーなので海は満潮で砂浜は見えませんでした。このツアーでは砂浜が顔を出すツアーではないと思ったほうがいいかもしれません

The tour was conducted with two boats, one of which gathered Japanese participants and provided guidance in Japanese. The guide was a Japanese person who was always smiling and very attentive.

When we arrived at the sandbar, we spotted two sea turtles, and several more came by afterward.

Next, we moved to the snorkeling point, where we were able to see about five sea turtles from the boat.

The snorkeling point didn't have strong waves, so if you can swim reasonably well, I recommend trying it without a life jacket!

The deeper areas had more fish and were beautiful! Additionally, I was able to find a sea turtle resting in the coral, and I managed to take an amazing photo! I had to dive about 4 meters, which was quite challenging, but it became my best memory in Hawaii.

I want to go again!

2隻の船でツアーを行い、1隻に日本人を集めて日本語でガイドを行ってくれました。
ガイドをしてくれたのは日本人の方で終始笑顔で丁寧な対応をしてくれました。

サンドバーに着いた時にもウミガメが目視で2匹確認できて、その後もサンドバーに何匹か来ていました。

その後はシュノーケリングポイントに移動するのですが、船から5匹くらいのウミガメを見つけられました。

シュノーケリングポイントは波もそこまで強くないので、泳ぎがある程度できる人はライフジャケット無しでチャレンジしてみてください！

深いところの方が魚も多くて綺麗でした！
また、サンゴの隙間で休んでいるウミガメを見つけられて最高の一枚を撮ることができました！
4mくらい潜らなければならなかったので、結構大変でしたがハワイで1番の思い出になりました。

また行きたいです！

We had a fabulous day on this tour. You do need staying power as it starts early and ends late but it is worth it. The bus tour of the Volcano Park was interesting but it was the helicopter ride that made the day. The professionalism of the company chartered for our ride was outstanding and our pilot had everyone feeling safe, secure and excited for the whole flight. Flying over the volcanos was amazing, even without any red lava on our day.
The one thing that was missing from the day was a little bit of time to explore Hilo itself - it looked so interesting and non touristy that we would have loved half an hour there.
This is not a cheap day, but certainly a once in a
lifetime experience we won’t ever forget and worth every cent.

Entertaining evening enjoyed by whole family. Plus bonus swim in waterfall during the day. Hard to beat.

The turtles came to visit, and I was able to see so many of them! The guides were very kind, and the lunch was delicious too(^^) I want to participate again!!

カメさんが会いに来てくれて、たくさん見ることができました！
ガイドの方々もとても親切でしたし、ランチも美味しかったです(^^)
また参加したいです！！

The weather was great, and the strong wind created the perfect conditions. However, the meeting point was very hard to find, and we wandered around the Sheraton multiple times. Among the participants, we were the only Japanese. The waves were high, and the strong wind splashed water on us, which felt refreshing. It was nice to see the backside of Diamond Head and to spot sea turtles.

天気も良く、風も強く最高のコンディションでした。ただ、集合場所が非常に分かりにくく、何回もシェラトンの周りをウロウロ。参加した人の中に日本人は私たちだけでした。波も高く、風も強く水しぶきがかかり、気持ち良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側が見られ、ウミガメも見られて、良かったです。

I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran with my wife, eldest daughter, and grandchild (2.5 years old). During the approximately one and a half hour cruise, everyone was thrilled with the wonderful scenery, the crew's entertaining talks, and the many splashes of waves. Next time, I hope to enjoy it with the whole family.

Also, the meeting point (registration) can be hard to find, so I recommend checking it in advance.

私、妻、長女、孫（2.5才）を連れてマイタイ・カタマラン号に搭乗しました。
およそ1時間半のクルージングの間、素晴らしい景色とクルーの楽しいトーク、そして多くの波しぶきにみんな大喜びでした。
次回は、家族全員で楽しみたいと思います。

なお、集合場所（受付）が分かりにくいので、事前に確認することをお勧め致します。

We couldn't ask for a better way to spend our last day in Oahu.
This tour was so relaxing and fun. Everyone was so friendly including staff and other participants.
The Sand bar was so exciting, and the turtles were cute. and snorkelling amazing.
Everything is well organised.


One advice to people who go on this tour -
Go to the bathroom before boarding the ship,
since the bathrooms are not that convenient.
but they are there if you need them :-)

The sandbar was disappointing because the water level was high, but snorkeling was great as I got to see sea turtles and schools of fish. Additionally, I had the opportunity to try stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, which made for a very fulfilling experience. The staff were all kind and entertaining, which was wonderful. Thank you very much.

サンドバーは水位が高くて残念だったけど
シュノーケルは海ガメにあえたり、魚の群れに
出会えたりしてとっても良かったです。
その他にSUPを体験させてもらえたり
カヤックを体験させてもらえて、とっても
充実した時間がすごせました。
スタッフも優しくおもしろい人ばかりで
よかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was a shame that the weather wasn't clear on the day, but I had a wonderful time with a cheerful guide! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate when the weather is clear and the tide is low. Thank you!☆

当日は快晴でなかったのが残念でしたが、愉快なガイドさんとともに楽しいひとときを過ごさせてもらいました！
またハワイに行く機会があったときは、快晴＆潮が引いてるときを狙って参加したいです。
ありがとうございました☆

I encountered sea turtles, had a great time snorkeling, and was entertained throughout the journey. I think it was a very well-organized tour. Thank you very much.

海ガメにも遇えたし、楽しくシュノーケリングが出来たし、道中ずっと楽しませてくれたし、とても完成度の高いツアーだと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

It was amazing.
It was my first experience, and I was continuously moved.
The beautiful sea, the cute sea turtles, and the fun staff.
The snorkeling had clear explanations and safety considerations, which made me feel very secure.
I don't get to go to Hawaii often, but this is one activity I want to experience again next time.
Thank you very much.

最高でした。
初めての体験でしたが、感動の連続でした。
綺麗な海、可愛いウミガメ、楽しいスタッフ
シュノーケルも分かりやすい説明と安全面の配慮がとても安心でした。
なかなかハワイ行けないけど、次回も体験したいアクティビティのひとつです。
ありがとうございました。

I participated in a family trip for both families that also served as a wedding ceremony. There were relatively few Japanese guests, which allowed me to enjoy the feeling of being abroad. The weather was nice, and the views of Waikiki from the ocean, as well as the sunset and night scenery, were very beautiful and enjoyable. The food wasn't particularly delicious. The variety of drinks wasn't extensive, but the prices were reasonable and not high. The main fireworks were farther away than I expected, which was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend attending just for the purpose of watching the fireworks.

It was a memorable experience.

結婚式を兼ねた両家の家族旅行で参加しました。
日本人客は比較的少なく、海外に来た感が楽しめました。
天気が良かったのでワイキキの街を沖から見た風景やサンセットや夜景はとても綺麗で楽しめました。
ご飯は美味しいわけではありませんでした。
ドリンクの種類はさほど多くありませんが、料金は高くなく、良心的でした。
メインの花火は思っていたより遠くて、残念でした。花火を見る目的で参加するならばオススメしません。

思い出にはなりました。

Everything went smoothly from the pickup time to arrival. Renting a bicycle for $10 was a great decision. We quickly got takeout from Kimo's Pancakes. We shared it and ended up very full. The staff were kind, and we had a wonderful time at Kailua Beach. For lunch, we had plates at the hotel.

迎えの時間から到着まで順調にいき
自転車を＄１０で借り正解です。
キモズ　パンケーキも時間かからずテイクアウト
できました。二人でシェアして食べましたがお腹いっぱいになりました。
スタッフの方々も親切で
とても充実したカイルアビーチを過ごせました。
ランチはプレイトにしてホテルで食べました。

Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.

I participated in the Dolphin Encounter where you can swim with dolphins. The explanation was in English only, but they spoke slowly with gestures, making it easy to understand. Above all, the dolphins were adorable, and it was a lot of fun. I now have another wonderful memory from Hawaii.

イルカと一緒に泳げる　ドルフィン・エンカウンターに参加しました。
説明は英語オンリーでしたが、身振り手振りでゆっくりとお話ししてくれたのでわかりやすかったです。
何よりイルカが可愛くてとても楽しかったです。
ハワイでの良いおもいでがまた一つ増えました。

I was hoping to see whales jumping, but I only caught a glimpse of a tail, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were very kind, and the view from the deck was beautiful, making it a lovely cruise. The guidance was mainly in English, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese at key points, which made it easy to understand. The deck was quite windy, so it's a good idea to have something to wear. While searching for whales, the waves were high, and I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up feeling nauseous in the second half. The staff applied menthol oil, which is effective for seasickness. On the way back, I was told that I could walk to Iolani Palace, so after disembarking, I separated from the group and visited Iolani Palace and other places before taking the bus back.

クジラがジャンプする姿を期待していましたが、しっぽが少し見えたのかな？程度で少し残念でした。
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、甲板からの景色もよく素敵なｸﾙｰｽﾞでした。
基本英語での案内ですが、要所は日本語のできるスタッフの方が教えてくれわかりやすかったです。
甲板は風が強く羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。
クジラを探しながらのｸﾙｰｽﾞで波も高かったためか酔い止めを飲んでいましたが後半は酔ってしまいました。スタッフの方が船酔いに効くとメンソールオイルを塗ってくれました。
帰りには歩いてイオラニ宮殿に行けるとのことで、船を降りてから離団しイオラニ宮殿等に行きバスで帰りました。

Thank you very much. I had a great time. I look forward to seeing you again. The weather was also very nice.

ありがとうございます。楽しかったです。
また是非よろしくお願いいたします。
天気もとてもよかったです

It was like heaven for my 5-year-old son. Having transportation for pick-up and drop-off makes it easier for parents. Driving after swimming is tiring... Although the plan didn't include meals, it's not a problem since you can buy food inside the park!

5歳の息子にとっては天国のような場所でした。行き帰りの送迎はあった方が親は楽ですね。泳いだ後の運転は疲れます、、、。特にご飯は付いていないプランでしたが、園内で買えるので問題ないです！

Although the visibility of the sea wasn't great due to the rain the day before, the emerald green and cobalt blue waters sparkling in the sunlight were truly beautiful. We encountered many sea turtles, and my husband even had moments where he swam close enough to them while being careful not to touch! Our guide, Yukiko, was also impressive just to watch, and she is a big reason why I want to join this tour again and meet her!

前日雨だったため海の透明度はいまいちとのことでしたが、きらきら太陽の光が輝くエメラルドグリーン、コバルトブルーの海は本当にきれいでした♡
ウミガメにもたくさん会え、主人はシュノーケリングスポットで触れちゃわないように気をつけるくらい近くで一緒に泳げる瞬間も！
ガイドのユキコさんも見ているだけでかっこ気持ちよく、またこのツアーに参加して会いに行きたい！と思う大きな一因です。

The day of participation was unfortunately marked by cloudy skies and intermittent rain, but when the sun peeked through for a moment, it was absolutely beautiful! We played beach volleyball, and even though we couldn't communicate with people from other countries, it felt like we connected through sports, making it a really enjoyable time! The hamburger we had for lunch was also incredibly delicious! We were able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! I think it would be stunning on a sunny day, so I would love to participate again!

参加日はあいにくの曇りとパラパラ雨の繰り返しでしたが、一瞬晴れ間がさすと最高にきれいでした！
ビーチバレーをやりましたが他国の方たちと言葉は通じませんが、スポーツで気持ちが繋がった感じがしてとっても楽しい時間でした！
お昼に食べたハンバーガーもすごくおいしかったです！
シュノーケリングもお魚がたくさん見れました！
晴れたら最高にきれいだと思うのでまた参加したいです！

I had a great time!
On a weekday in July, I was able to ride smoothly with relatively short lines.
Since the ground is hot, it's definitely better to wear water shoes.

とても楽しかったです！
7月平日、比較的並ばずスムーズに乗れました。
地面が暑いので、絶対に海用のシューズを履いて行ったほうがよきです。

It was a tour aimed at enjoying the night view, but due to the bad weather and having some extra time, we changed it to a sunset cruise. The planned 20-minute cruise was shortened to just over 10 minutes without notice, which left my family a bit dissatisfied, but we were able to see a wonderful sunset, so I’ll take it as a positive experience.

夜景遊覧が目的のツアーでしたが、天候不順なのと時間に余裕があったのでサンセット遊覧に変更してもらいました。予定の20分の遊覧時間が10分ちょっとに勝手に短縮され、家族は少々不満気味でしたが素晴らしいサンセットを見れたのでまぁ良しとします。

We enjoy had a lot of fun! The kids played very high with every equipment.

I participated with my father and son. It was much more fun than I expected, and I think it's a recommended tour for people who love marine sports!

私の父と息子で参加。思ってたよりもすごく楽しかったようでマリンスポーツ好きの人にはお勧めのツアーと思います！

The weather was nice and the waves were calm, so I was able to enjoy myself without getting seasick. The sea was beautiful, the sea turtles were cute, and the food was delicious, so it was the best experience. I'm really glad I participated!

天気がよく波も穏やかだったので、船に酔うこともなく楽しく過ごせました。
海は綺麗だし、ウミガメはかわいいし、ご飯も美味しかったので最高でした。
参加して本当に良かったです！

I took my daughter and her family to this Luau and I am so glad we bought the Royal package. It was great. We were right in front and the dancing was great and the Fire dancing was fantastic. I also liked the fact the they involved you in different activities. Food was great also. I liked the fact they will stay and take pictures with you at the end with your own camera. Overall I would definitely recommend this Luau to everyone.

I'm a repeat visitor.
The pool is very enjoyable. I highly recommend it. Since I rented a cabana, I was able to relax with my family without worrying about being seen by others. They provide fruit and water bottles.
The staff comes to take food orders, so you can relax without having to line up at the concession stand.
Regarding the shuttle bus, the confirmation screen said that you don't need to bring the voucher (or show it), so I took that at face value and didn't bring it. However, the staff at the pickup insisted that I show it. I explained that I didn't bring it because I was told it wasn't necessary, and after quite a bit of back and forth, I was finally allowed to board the bus.
My name was on the list the staff had, though. Next time, even if it says you don't need to bring the voucher, I won't trust it and will bring it anyway.

リピーターです。
プールはとても楽しめます。おすすめです。カバナを借りたので、人目を気にせず、家族でゆっくりと過ごせました。フルーツと水のボトルがつきます。
食事のオーダーも係の方が取りに来て下さるので売店に並ばなくてもよいのでのんびりできます。
送迎のバスについてですが、申し込み完了画面に、バウチャーは持参しなくても（見せなくて）よいと書いてあったので、真に受けて持参しませんでした。ところが迎えのバスの係員は見せろの一点張り。見せなくてよいと言われたから持ってこなかった、とかなーり粘ってようやくバスに乗せてもらいました。
係員の持っている名簿に名前あるのですがね。次回はバウチャーは持ってこなくてよい、と記載あっても信じずに持参します。
