All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

The Captain and her crew were beyond friendly! The whole experience was amazing, from the cruise to the sand bar, the food, the turtle watching and the snorkeling. Absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this experience!

It was my first show. I didn't have high expectations, but it was surprisingly fun and a great show. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

初めてのしょうでした。きたいはしていませんが思った以上にすごく楽しくて良いショーでした。また機会があれば行きたいです。

- The guidance from the female staff was delightful and enjoyable.
- I was able to see sea turtles at the sandbar, which was amazing.
- Snorkeling might have been the most fun; it felt like swimming inside an aquarium, and it was incredibly enjoyable to be so close to the fish.
- The BBQ on the boat was about what I expected, but the service was attentive and good.
- It was a tour I would like to join again next time.

・女性担当者の案内が愉快で楽しかったです。
・サンドバーではウミガメも見れたし最高でした。
・シュノーケリングが一番楽しかったかも、まるで水槽の中を泳いでいるよう　で、魚が手に取れる感じで非常に楽しかったです。
・BBQは船の上なのでこんなもんかな、という感じでしたが接客が丁寧でよ　　かったです。
・次回も参加したいツアーでした。

I felt very safe with the Japanese staff at the center. The locals were also kind and communicated in English, so I was able to enjoy everything without any inconvenience, even though I only speak Japanese! The hamburger on the boat was the most delicious I had on this trip (^ ^). There was plenty of free time, and they clearly communicated important information, so I was able to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful sea! I was lucky to swim with a sea turtle. There was a shuttle to the Alohilani Hotel, and on the way back, they guided us as well.

日本人が中心でとても安心しました。現地の人も英語で優しく対応して下さったので、日本語しか分からない中、何も不自由なく楽しむことができました！
船上でのハンバーガーはこの旅行で1番美味しかったです(^ ^)
自由な時間が多く、注意事項等もしっかり伝えてもらえたので
ゆっくりくつろぎながらきれいな海を満喫できて最高でした！運良くウミガメと一緒に泳げてよかったです。
アロヒラニホテルまで送迎があり、帰りはガイドもしながら送っていただけました。

It was amazing! We saw quite a few turtles and I got some awesome pictures of them. The crew was great and very accommodating. The ride with the sails up was totally a great experience. This excursions was the highlight of our vacation! I would recommend it to everyone!

Michael's dance show was amazing. The hula show was also authentic and powerful. Everyone is saying it was great to have the VIP seats.

マイケルのダンスショーが最高でした
フラショーも本物で、迫力ありました
ＶＩＰ席でしたがこちらにして良かったとみんな言ってます

Last time, we enjoyed the sunset on the same boat during the "Sunset Sailing," but this time we experienced the "Full Sun Sailing." This is Hawaii! This is Waikiki! We thoroughly enjoyed it on board. It was just right for the silver couple.

前回は同じ船で「夕陽セーリング」でサンセットを楽しみましたが、今回は「太陽がいっぱいセーリング」、これぞハワイ！これぞワイキキ！を船上で満喫しました。シルバーカップルには程よかったです。

This is my second time participating. Last time, I was satisfied with snorkeling, but this time, after a delicious meal, I also tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The staff were kind and supportive, and I was able to stand up somehow.

2度目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングで満足でしたが、今回は美味しい食事の後、SUPにも挑戦しました。
スタッフさんが優しく支えてくれてなんとか立つことが出来ました

The weather was clear! I was picked up near the hotel and took a bus to the location. The crew members were very kind and there were many happy people, which made it enjoyable! The lunch on the water was amazing!!! The sandbar we aimed for was breathtakingly beautiful. It was about thigh-deep, but that was no problem! We also saw many sea turtles before heading out to snorkel. It became a wonderful memory!!

天気も快晴！ホテル近くでピックアップしてもらいバスに乗って現地へ。
クルーの皆さんはとても優しくハッピーな方がたくさんで楽しめました！水上でのランチ最高です！！！
お目当のサンドバーには息を飲むくらいの綺麗さ。太ももくらいの高さでしたが問題ありません！ウミガメもたくさん見かけたりしてからシュノーケルへ。 最高な思い出になりました！！

We were blessed with great weather, and it turned out to be a wonderful day!! We walked along the sandbar surrounded by sea turtles!! The staff were very friendly, and above all, the lunch was incredibly delicious ^_^!!!

天気にもめぐまれとても素敵な一日になりました！！
ウミガメにかこまれながらサンドバーを歩きました！！
スタッフの方々もとても気さくで、なんといってもランチがすごく美味しかったです^_^！！！

With a variety of shows including hula dance, fire dance, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley, I thought this price was a great deal, especially with the large buffet included. You can also take photos as long as you don't use flash.

フラダンス、ファイアーダンス、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリーと盛りだくさんのショーに加えて、大ボリュームのビュッフェがついてこのお値段なら安いと思いました。また写真もフラッシュをたかなければ撮影出来ます。

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.

Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

I was supposed to be picked up at the hotel, but since no car arrived at all, I called customer service. They said they left because they couldn't meet me at the designated spot. I was told to take a taxi, but I was informed that it was too late and asked if I could change the date instead. I was at a loss for words due to their attitude, especially since I was looking forward to the fireworks.

It's puzzling why we couldn't meet at the designated spot, which was just the hotel parking area and not that large. The hotel staff had also told me that it was fine to wait on this bench, so I wasn't late for the meeting time.

I was able to change the date and board the boat the next day. The scenery and the food were both very good.

ホテルにピックアップに来てくれるはずが、全然車が来ないのでカスタマーサービスに電話したら、待ち合わせ場所で会えなかったから行ってしまったとのこと。タクシーで来てください、あーでももう時間が間に合わないですね、日にち変更できますけど？と素っ気なく言われました。花火を楽しみにしていたのに、向こうの対応に言葉が出ませんでした。
待ち合わせ場所はホテルの駐車スペースでそんなに広い場所でもないのに、なぜ会えなかったのか不思議でたまりません。ホテルのスタッフにも、このベンチで待っていればいいよと言われたので、こちらが待ち合わせの時間に遅れたわけでもありません。
翌日に変更してもらって船に乗ることはできました。景色も料理もとてもよかったです。

After being picked up at the hotel in Waikiki, we traveled for about an hour in the van to the North Shore. If you're worried about motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand.

Once we arrived, we were guided to the sandbar by a humorous guide and crew members.

If you wish to go snorkeling, you'll receive a brief lesson and wear a life jacket before walking a few meters from the sandbar and swimming out into the ocean.

It was enjoyable to see sparkling fish and turtles swimming leisurely around the sandbar. During the boat ride to and from the location, we learned about the history of the sandbar and Hawaii, which was very educational.

If I have the chance to travel to Hawaii again, I would love to participate in this activity once more.

ワイキキのホテルでピックアップしてもらったあとにノースショアまで行くのでおおよそ1時間くらいはバンに揺られます。
心配な方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのが良いかと思います。

現地に着いてからはユーモラスなガイドとクルーの方にサンドバーを案内してもらえます。

シュノーケリングを希望する場合は簡単なレッスンを受けて救命胴衣を着用した上でサンドバーから数m歩いて沖を泳ぎます。

キラキラとした魚やサンドバーを悠々と泳ぐ亀を見ることが出来て楽しかったです。
行き帰りの船上ではサンドバーが産まれた経緯やハワイの歴史を説明して貰え、勉強になりました。

次にハワイに旅行することがあってもまた、参加させて貰いたいなと思います。

We participated as a couple. Since it was an afternoon tour, the water level seemed a bit high, reaching about waist height. It was sunny and beautiful, but... We spotted turtles several times as they were being fed. The lunch was a buffet style and delicious.

夫婦で参加しました。午後のツアーだったので、水位は少し高かったみたいで、腰くらいありました。晴れててキレイではありましたが。。亀は餌付けされているので、何度も目撃ました。お昼ご飯は、バイキング形式で美味しかったです。

Overall, it was a fun tour that really got everyone excited. The duration was short, so you can make the most of your day. Of course, the view from the sandbar was amazing.

全体的に盛り上げてくれるツアーで楽しかった。
時間も短時間なので、１日が有効に使えます。
もちろん、サンドバーの景色は最高でした。

This is Hawaii time! My first impression is that I will come back! This is my fifth year in Hawaii. This time, I'm staying for three weeks, so I'm challenging myself to snorkeling, something I've never done before. My wife can't swim at all, so she has been practicing at a nearby pool for a year, but in reality, she hasn't been able to go much and still can't breathe properly while swimming. The day before the tour, we practiced just the arm movements of the breaststroke at the hotel pool (saltwater pool). Is this level okay??? Both my wife and I are 70 years old. The large bus at Sheraton Aloha Landing was full, which shows its popularity. The rain stopped, and the cloudy sky was a relief. Water volleyball was more difficult and fun than I expected. We watched turtles, ate delicious BBQ hamburgers, and went snorkeling for the first time. My wife held onto me while colorful fish swam within reach. We quickly got used to snorkeling, and it was a blissful time.

これぞハワイの時間！また来るぞ！と言うのが第1の感想。ハワイ5年目。今回は3週間の長期滞在なので、これまで一度も無かった、シュノーケリングにチャレンジ。家内は全く泳げないので、1年前から近くのプールで練習していたが、現実にはなかなか行けず、まだ息継ぎができない。今回のツアーの前日ホテルのプール(海水プール)で、平泳ぎの腕の動きだけ練習。こんなレベルで大丈夫？？？家内も私も70歳。シェラトンアロハランディングで大型バスが満杯。人気の程が伺える。雨もあがって曇り空が助かる。水上バレーも思った以上に難しく、面白い。カメを眺め、美味しいBBGハンバーガーを食べて、初シュノーケリング。家内は私につかまりながら。色とりどりの魚が手が届くところで泳いでいる。すぐにシュノーケリングにも慣れ、至福の時間。

I visit every year, more than 10 times. Each time, I enjoy the different colors of the sea and the varying water levels. The one thing that never changes is the instructor, YUKIKO. She always greets us with her exceptionally cheerful smile. This year (June 28, 2019), I will go with my sister.

毎年通い詰めて、１０回以上。毎回、海の色と水の量が違い楽しんでいます。
ちっとも変わらないのがインストラクターのYUKIKO。とっびきりのご機嫌な笑顔で迎えてくれます。
今年は（２０１９年６月２８日）おねいちゃんと二人で行きますね。

It was amazing to see the beautiful white sea and the sea turtles swimming gracefully up close. It was my first time being able to see sea turtles that closely. The guide was very lively and made the experience enjoyable throughout.

白い美しい海と、優雅に泳ぐウミガメを間近で見られたのが最高でした。あんなに近くでウミガメを見ることができたのは初めてでした。ガイドの方のノリがたくさん盛り上げてくれて、終始楽しい時間を過ごせました。

This was our first time in Oahu and first time at a Luau. Highly recommend Toa
Luau. We arrived a few hours early since ticket includes admission to the Waimea Valley Gardens and Falls. Bring swimsuits and take a dip into the waterfalls at the end of the valley! We walked back to the Luau in time for the fun activities and 'pre-Luau' events includes crafts. We attended as a couple but this would be wonderful for families. The Luau then began with an amazing show complete with dancing and fire! Cousin Billy our host was entertaining and hospitable--the entire experience has a 'family' welcoming vibe. The food was good with a variety of choices. Because we were on our honeymoon Cousin Bill called up all the anniversaries/honeymoon couples for a special gift and blessing which was so special to us. We would definitely return this time with our family! Great job Toa Luau we'll be back!

The show was very enjoyable! The food was normally delicious, but the time to eat was short, and I ended up leaving a lot. It would have been nice to have a bit more space and time to enjoy the meal.

ショーはとても楽しめました^_^
ご飯は普通に美味しかったのですが、ご飯を食べる時間が短くてたくさん残してしまいました。もう少しゆったりしたスペースで時間をかけて食べれたら良かったかな。

Travel: It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the hotel in Waikiki. Since it can be a bit chilly, it's a good idea to bring a jacket. If you are prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication.
After that, we will board the boat, but Japanese people and Americans, along with others from English-speaking countries, will be on a different boat. It's reassuring that explanations will be provided in Japanese. Soft drinks are free, and alcohol will be paid for collectively after returning from the sandbar.
Impressions: The sandbar is for practicing snorkeling and taking a walk.
We moved to the snorkeling point, and there were life jackets available, so even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a great time. The number of fish when we got into the water was incredible! 😊

移動他:ワイキキのホテルからバスで30分ほど移動します。少し寒いので上着はあった方が良いですね。船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いです。
その後、乗船しますが日本人とアメリカ人他英語圏の方々と別の船に乗ります。日本語で説明いただけるので安心です。ソフトドリンクは無料で、アルコールはサンドバー帰りでまとめて払います。
感想:サンドバーは、シュノーケリング練習と散歩です。
移動して、シュノーケリングポイントに向かいますが、救命胴衣もあり、シュノーケル初めてでもとても楽しめました。海に降りた時の魚の数が半端なかったです(^^)

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

I participated with two younger colleagues from my company.

When we boarded the boat, the rain had eased and we were able to enjoy the sandbar and snorkeling without any stress, which was great.

I was worried about my colleagues who couldn't get into the water or felt anxious about snorkeling, but thanks to the staff's consideration, they were transported to the sandbar on a small boat and were taken around to look for turtles, so it seems they really enjoyed the tour.

A special thanks to Jamie for the fun conversations, and to Kaz, who took a lot of photos as a sort of assistant, and to Ebizou from Hawaii, who guided us around on the boat.

The staff and the tour deserve five stars, but since the weather and the tide conditions weren't perfect, I deducted one star... Next time, I hope to aim for a tour that scores 120 points. Thank you for the truly wonderful memories.

会社の若い後輩2人と参加させて頂きました。

船に乗るときには、雨から薄日がさす状態に回復し、サンドバーとシュノーケリングがストレスなく楽しめて良かったです。

海に入れなかったり、シュノーケリングに不安を感じた後輩を心配しましたが、スタッフさんのお気遣いで、小さなボートでサンドバーに運んで下さったり、かめを探しに回って下さったりしたので、ツアーをとても楽しめたようです。

特に楽しいトークのジェイミーさん、あと、写真を沢山撮ってくださった準スタッフ？のカズさん、ボートで回って下さったハワイのエビゾウさん、ありがとうございました。

スタッフさんとツアーは5つ星ですが、天気と干潮の状態が今一歩だったので、星が1つ減りました…
次は120点のツアーを狙って参加したいと思います。
本当に素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

I had a very enjoyable day! The most impressive part was the guide! She was a woman with striking eye makeup and a muumuu! Throughout the bus ride, she entertained everyone with various stories about Hawaii, and at the sightseeing points, she made sure we saw everything! Every place we stopped at during the half-day tour was great. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we had a Japanese student guide who showed us around. It was very spacious and surprising! It was a beautiful place. We also enjoyed the show! A hat is definitely a must!

とても楽しい一日でした！一番印象的だったのは、ガイドさんでした！アイメークとムームーが印象的な女性です！
バスの中ではハワイのいろんな話を、観光ポイントではしっかり見せてくれるなど、終始みんなを楽しませてくれました！
半日観光で立ち寄った場所は、どこもよかったです。
ポリネシア カルチャー センターでも学生の日本人ガイドさんがついて案内してくれました。とても広くてビックリ！！キレイなトコでした。ショーも楽しめました！
帽子が必需品ですね！

From the moment that we first interacted with staff at the shuttle bus pick-up, the whole package was seamless. Staff made the bus ride and boarding so easy that we just had to be swept along and enjoy the experience. The management on the boat was also superb, but kept personal. The Friday night fireworks just completed a beautiful night.

Compared to the dolphin tour, I didn't see as many whales as I expected, only catching a glimpse of them when they surfaced for air. I would like to go see them again.

イルカのツアーに比べて、息継ぎで浮上してくる一瞬のみで思ったより鯨が見えなかった。また、見に行きたい。

Swimming with wild dolphins was AMAZING! We struggled to find spinner dolphins early May 15, but Danielle and the entire crew were patient and determined to spot other types of dolphins. We found spotted dolphins, in deeper waters, which are faster but amazing to see in the wild. The crew including Yogi, Tyler, and a couple others helped our ship of 25 or so passengers stay safe and calm in the water knowing exactly what to do as the dolphins and wild life swam all around us. Making sure the swimmers and dolphins stayed safe was at the forefront of our dive. We relocated to another swim spot to see fish and turtles in shallow waters and we got to play on the slide and use paddle boards the crew provided us with. Jade, the photographer/ videographer, was amazing in capturing our time on the boat and in the water. This crew was fantastic and my fiancé and I would recommend this excursion 10/10 as a MUST DO. The feeling iI got seeing this animals in their natural environment, so willing to let us be close to them , is something I will never forget. We purchase the pictures from Dolphins and You and I can’t wait to get home to upload them!

I was able to see two turtles! The food was delicious, and I had a great time. If I could have taken more photos, I would have wanted to buy a lot! What a shame.

カメが2匹も見れたよ〜〜
ご飯も美味しかったし、楽しかった٩( ᐛ )و
写真撮ってもらえたのが、やすかったらたくさん買いたかったなぁ！残念
