All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I made a reservation for my mother, who loves hula. The weather was favorable in early April, and it was comfortable at first, but as the sun went down, it became chilly, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The show was of high quality, and I was satisfied to be able to show her authentic hula. This time, I chose the Golden Seat, but since we arrived late, we ended up with seats on the edge, which was disappointing. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the Diamond Seat and see it up close.

今回フラの好きな母のために予約しました。
４月上旬天候にめぐまれ最初快適でしたが、日が落ちると
やはり肌寒く上着を持参すればと後悔しました。
ショーは完成度が高く、本場のフラを見せてあげることができて
満足しました。今回はゴールデンシートにしましたが遅めに到着したため
端の席になり残念でした。次回はぜひダイヤモンドシートで予約し
間近で見たいと思います。

We participated as a family. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there was a wide variety of delicious dishes.

家族で参加しました。スタッフの方たちは笑顔で気配りもよく、料理の品数も豊富でとても美味しかったです。

I participated with my husband, who is prone to seasickness, but I was relieved that he didn't get sick at all. Depending on the season, after snorkeling, wet hair and a wet body can feel a bit cold with even a slight breeze. If possible, it might be better to bring all your underwear and clothes rather than just something to throw over your wet swimsuit. I finished snorkeling early and changed using a towel from the pool in the less crowded area of the boat.

船酔いしやすい主人と2人で参加しましたが、全く酔わなかったので安心しました。
時期的な問題なのか、シュノーケルの後の濡れた髪濡れた体は少し風が当たると寒いです。
出来れば、濡れた水着の上に羽織るものよりも全ての下着、洋服を持参で臨んだ方が良いかも。私はシュノーケルを早めに引きあげて人の少ない船内でプールで使用するタオルを使って着替えました

This was my second time participating in the dolphin tour, and during the last one in summer, I saw many more dolphins! It was also quite cold, as everyone had to rent wetsuits! There were quite a few people who looked uncomfortable because they got seasick.

However, this time we were able to see many honu (turtles) down below. The staff worked hard to keep everyone engaged and excited. It's a fun tour if you don't get seasick, so taking motion sickness medication is a must!

イルカツアーの参加は2回目で前回は夏でしたが、夏の方がたくさんのイルカが見られました！あとは全員の方がウェットスーツを借りていたくらい寒かったです！酔ってしまって終始辛そうな方も結構な人数いました。
ただ今回は下の方でしたがホヌ（亀）がたくさん見ることができました。
スタッフの方はみなさん盛り上げようと頑張っておられました。
酔わなければ楽しめるツアーなので、酔い止めは必須です！！

We had a blast with Captain Bob’s crew! Kaneohe sandbar is spectacular, a must do activity on Oahu. The picnic was well organized, great food, amazing crew and plenty of time to relax on the sandbar, they helped us in taking our pictures and also plenty of time snorkeling. Clean snorkel equipment, bathrooms onboard and the crew was very helpful to everyone! We loved the sandbar, saw lot of turtles and fishes....it is a once in a lifetime experience! Will definitely do this again if we return to Oahu! Highly recommend this! Shoutout to Captain Bob’s crew!! You guys are awesome!

From start to finish the whole experience was phenomenal, prompt pick up from our hotel, safety briefing then off we went, the cab to the helicopter was nice and cool, be sure to wear dark clothing as recommended in the pre flight info, failure to do so will result in you being given a dark t shirt to put on over your clothing.

The music and commentary accompanying the flight really made it special. Our pilot ensured that there were plenty of photo opportunities and ensured everyone on board got a great view.

I would definitely recommend this trip, it was great seeing Oahu from the sky and would do it all over again if I could! Thank you Blue Hawaii Helicopters for an unforgettable experience! Mahalo

This luau show was a bit different from what I've seen before, and as expected from Hilton, it was great! I had a very good seat in the front center. However, since the venue is relatively small, I think the experience would still be quite impressive from any front row seat, not just the center ones.

今まで見たのとは少し違うアレンジされたルアウショーでさすがヒルトン！！
前方中央席でとても良かったです。
ただ、会場が割と狭いので中央席じゃなくても前方席なら迫力も対して変わらないかなと思いました。

I was able to see sea turtles three times! I was so moved to see them up close, especially since I can't swim. It was super lucky to see them so closely.

The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious.

The friendly staff assisted us with beach volleyball, and even though I wasn't very good, I had a great time.

It got cold at the end, but I was glad there were hot drinks available. They were delicious.

ウミガメ3回も見れました！
泳げない私が、間近でウミガメを見れて感動しました。間近で見れたのは、めちゃラッキーでした。

船上で食べたハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

ビーチバレーも気さくなスタッフさんがアシストしてくださり、下手くそでも楽しめました。

最後に冷えて寒かったのですが、ホットドリンクが用意されてて良かったです。美味しかったです。

This is my second time. I became a repeat visitor just to see Michael. The Polynesian show is also very impressive. It has become one of my favorite activities in Waikiki.

今回で二回目です。マイケル観たさにリピーターになってしまいました。ポリネシアンショーも見応え十分です。ワイキキでの楽しみの一つになりました。

It was my first sandbar tour, and I was glad that there was always someone who spoke Japanese from pick-up to drop-off. The sandbar had a higher tide than I expected, but it was very beautiful!

The staff members were all really nice! Even though I was waiting on the boat and not snorkeling, they were considerate and I was able to wait for about 30 minutes without getting bored.

It seems that the snorkeling was a bit murky due to sand swirling around.

The sea turtles were friendly and came to visit multiple times. They didn't run away even when I got close; they just swam around me.

I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was really delicious! Everything was tasty, and I went back for seconds! (laughs)

初めてのサンドバーツアーでしたが、
送迎〜解散まで日本語が話せる方が常にいらして良かったです。
サンドバーは思っていたより潮位が高かったですが、とってもキレイでした！

スタッフの方々がとにかく良い人ばかり！
シュノーケリングをしないため船で待つ私にも
気を使ってくださり、30分ほどありましたが退屈することなく待てました。

シュノーケリングは砂などが舞い
水が濁ってみにくかったみたいです。

ウミガメはなついていて
何度も来てくれました。
近づいても逃げたりせず、人の周りをくるくるするくらい。

ランチはあまり期待していなかったのですが
とっても美味しかったです！
どれも美味しくておかわりしました！笑

The walk on the sandbar lasted about an hour. There was a sandbank offshore, and the scenery was very beautiful. After that, we explored for sea turtles, and we were able to see them three times! It seems that if you make a wish, it will come true. Then we had BBQ hamburgers, which were quite tasty. Finally, we went snorkeling. We circled around the coral reef, but I was really tired afterward. As noted in the tour guidelines, be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and clothing. It gets really cold after entering the water, and the wind is chilly. It’s a good idea to bring warm clothing. I want to go again next year.

サンドバーの散歩は１時間くらいありました。沖合いに砂洲があり景色がとても良かったです。その後ウミガメを散策、なんと３度も見ることができました。お願い事すると叶うらしい。（？）。そしてＢＢＱハンバーガー。普通に美味しかったです。最後にシュノーケリング。さんご礁の周りをぐるっと一周しましたが、さすがに疲れました。ツアーの注意点にもありますが、帽子、日焼け止め、服。特に海に入った後はすごく寒いです。風が冷たいです。厚手の服を持っていったらよいです。来年もまた行きたいです。

My 9-year-old daughter participated in the experience. It was raining from the morning, and since she was attending alone, I had some concerns about how it would go until it started. However, once it began, she seemed to enjoy the experience. The story about the turtles was explained in English, but it was easy to understand, as they occasionally included Japanese words and used photos and models, so she seemed to grasp most of it.

Although she participated alone, there were Japanese children in the same group, so she quickly warmed up to them and chatted happily. She was able to interact with the dolphins much more than she had expected, and she looked very satisfied.

9才の娘が体験。
雨も朝から降っていて、一人で参加の為、どんな風になるのか始まるまで、不安も少しありましたが、始まると楽しそうに体験出来ていました。カメのお話も英語での説明ですが、分かりやすく時々日本語単語を交えて、写真や模型なども使ってくれて、だいたいは理解していたようです。
一人で参加でしたが、同じグループには日本の子どもたちがいたこともあり、すぐに打ち解けて仲良く話したり、イルカとも思っていたよりたくさん触れ合えて子どもは大満足の様子でした。

There were almost only Japanese people. It ruined the feeling of being on an overseas trip.

Attractions open at staggered times, causing crowds to concentrate on specific attractions, resulting in long wait times.

Food is not allowed to be brought in. Despite this, there was only one person taking orders at the food court, leading to long lines.

Even though it was a wave pool, there were no waves for more than half the time.

There was no one at the ticket purchase location for the FlowRider all day. When I asked other staff, they explained that it could be handled at the food court. Ultimately, I was able to buy the ticket at the food court, but without English skills, it would be difficult to get there, so the FlowRider was empty. It was too unhelpful.

ほぼ日本人しかいない。海外旅行の気分が台無しになる。

アトラクションが時間差でオープンするため、特定のアトラクションに人が集中し、その結果、長時間待たされる。

食べ物が持ち込めない。その割に園内のフードコートは注文受付が1人しかいなく、これまた長蛇の列ができる。

波のでるプールなのに、半分以上の時間、波が無かった。

フローライダーのチケット購入場所に終日、人が居なかった。他のスタッフに聞いたところフードコート？で対応すると説明される。結果的にフードコートでチケットは買えたが、英語力がないとここまでたどり着けないため、フローライダーはガラガラだった。不親切すぎ。

As soon as we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which made me think we were off to a good start. However, after that, we didn't see anything and it ended there. Given the high expectations, it was disappointing not to see any whales, and the experience ended up being boring. Additionally, since we didn't see any whales, we were given tickets that could be used during the season starting the next day, but I felt there were high hurdles, such as the fact that the tickets were only valid until January of the following year and that reservations could only be made by phone (likely in English), with no option for online booking. I think it would be better if there were options like receiving a gift (such as a whale plush toy) or a re-ticket if nothing is seen.

出発早々、イルカの群れが見えて、幸先良いかと思いましたが、その後、何も見えず、終了しました。期待が高かった分、クジラが見えなかったため、つまらなく終わりました。また、クジラが見えなかったため、翌日からシーズン内で利用できるチケットをもらいましたが、翌日から年1月までであること、電話(おそらく英語)での予約のみでwebでの予約が出来ないなどハードルが高いと感じました。見れない場合、プレゼント(例えばクジラのぬいぐるみなど)か再チケットかを選べるなどあると良いと思います。

I was supposed to go see whales, but ended up only seeing dolphins?! When I asked others, it seems that whales are rarely seen at this time of year. It's a total rip-off, and I want my money back!!

クジラを見に行ったはずが、イルカを見ただけで終わり⁉️他の人に聞いたところ、今の時期は、めったにクジラは見られないらしい。ぼったくりも甚だしいし、お金を返してほしい‼️

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です！

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.

We gathered quite early, and after boarding, we had to wait for over 30 minutes, which was tough with kids. However, we were happy to see a large group of dolphins right after we set sail, although we didn't spot any whales. I really appreciated how hard the captain worked to take us around and how the crew was considerate towards the children; it felt very thoughtful. After disembarking, the return journey was smooth, but I thought it would have been nice to have a little time for shopping.

随分早めの集合なのか、乗船してからぼんやり待つ時間30分以上でした。子連れには辛いですが、、出航してすぐにイルカの大群が見れてハッピーでしたが鯨みえず。
でも船長さんがかなり頑張ってあちこち飛ばしてくれたり船員の方が子供に気遣いしてくれているのはすごくわかり良心的だと思いました。
降りてからはさくさく帰路なんですがちょいとショッピングの時間が取れてもよいかもと思いました。

This was a three-generation trip with ages ranging from 6 to 69 years old. We boarded a catamaran and were very satisfied! The scenery was amazing, and we even saw sea turtles. There were restrooms available (though we didn't use them), which made us feel secure during the ride. Along the way, those in swimsuits could swim in the sea. ^_^

下は6歳〜年長者は69歳の3世代の旅。
カタマラン乗船し、とっても満足しました！
景色は最高、ウミガメも見れました。
お手洗いもあり(使用してませんが)、安心して乗れました。
途中、水着の方は海で泳ぐごとができます^_^

I thought it would be lucky if I could see a whale, but about an hour after boarding, I encountered a mother and baby whale! I even got to see them jump, and they came quite close, which was incredibly exciting.
I also had the opportunity to experience cultural activities like making leis and playing the ukulele, and I was able to participate in two or three of them as time allowed!

クジラが見れたらラッキーだな、くらいの気持ちでいましたが乗船から一時間くらいでくじらの親子に会えました！ジャンプもみられ、かなり近くにクジラがきてくれて大興奮でした。
カルチャー体験もレイ作りやウクレレ、フラ時間の許す限り２個３個と体験させてもらえました！

This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!

My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.

Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.

The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!

Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.

Thumbs up!

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

This was our second time on the cruise, as my child really enjoyed it the first time. The waves are bigger in winter, which might make it more fun with the rocking motion. For those who prefer a calm cruise, summer is recommended. Since you're out on the sea, you can get quite sunburned. I recommend taking extra precautions against sunburn, even more than when you're at the beach. We also saw turtles and dolphins, which excited both the adults and the kids.

以前乗船し、子供が気に入っていたので、2回目の乗船でした。
波が大きい冬場の方が揺れがあって楽しいかもしれません。
穏やかなクルーズを希望する方は夏場がオススメです。
海の上なので、かなり日焼けします。日焼けしたくない方は、ビーチに居る時以上にしっかり日焼け対策をすることをお勧めします。
亀やイルカも見られて、大人も子供も大興奮でした。

Starting from Waikiki Beach, it's convenient if you're staying in Waikiki. You don't need to wake up particularly early.

When I participated in the dolphin tour, the meeting time was early in the morning, which was tough, and the dolphins just zipped by, so it didn't feel like swimming with them. In contrast, the sea turtles swam leisurely close by, which was very soothing. There were also plenty of fish swimming around.

I can't swim in deep water where my feet don't touch the bottom, but they provide something like a life vest, so I just float along.

I went with elementary and preschool children, and although we repeated the experience, they seemed scared of jumping into the sea, so we quickly retreated from snorkeling. Still, the experience of cutting through the wind off Waikiki on the catamaran was priceless.

出発がワイキキビーチなので、ワイキキ滞在であれば便利です。特別早起きする必要もないし。

イルカツアーに参加した時は集合時間が早朝で辛かったし、イルカはビュンビュン通過してしまうのでいっしょに泳ぐという感じではありませんでした。その点、ウミガメさんはゆったりと間近で泳いでくれて癒し度が高い。魚もいっぱい泳いでました。

私は足のつかない深さのところは泳げませんが、救命ベスト(？)のようなのをつけるのでぷかーっと浮きます。

小学生と幼稚園の子供と行きましたが、リピートですが、海にドボンが怖いようで、シュノーケリングは早々に退散。それでもカタマラン号でワイキキ沖の風を切る体験はプライスレスかと。

The meeting point at the hotel is about a 30-minute ride to the boat. When I participated in dolphin watching last time, we traveled quite far, so I wondered if we could see whales in such a city area. However, we spotted one about 30 minutes after departure! Since it was a larger boat, we couldn't get too close, but thanks to the crew's patience in spotting them, we were able to see a mother and baby whale quite closely in the second half of the trip.

The weather was nice, and even when we couldn't see any whales, the views of Honolulu were so beautiful that I didn't get bored. However, the waves were quite high, and there were moments when the boat rocked a lot, so I think anyone prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication. (I was fine, so I had a great time throughout!) The buffet-style sandwiches were also delicious.

When we returned to the hotel after getting off the boat, the bus was waiting in a different location. (By the way, in the morning, we were told to take the bus with the number one sign for the return trip.) Since the sign was held in a place not visible from the boat dock, we couldn't see it, so I thought it would be better if the boarding and alighting locations were the same. (I apologize if this was explained in English!)

集合場所のホテルから船までは30分程度。
前回イルカウォッチングに参加した際は、かなり遠くまで走ったので、こんな街中？で鯨が見れるのかな…と思いましたが、出航して30分程度で発見！
大きめの船の為なかなか近付く事は出来ませんでしたが、クルーの方が根気よく見定めてくれたおかげで、後半かなり近くで親子クジラの姿を見る事が出来ました。
天気も良く、クジラが見えない間もホノルルの景色がとても美しくて飽きませんでしたが、結構波が高くて大きく揺れる事があったので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は薬必須だと思います。（私は平気なので、終始とても楽しかったです！）
バイキング方式でのサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
船を降りてホテルに戻るとき、バスが離れた場所で待機されていたのですが（そういえば朝、帰りは1番の札を掲げたバスに乗って下さいねと言われた）、船乗り場から見えない場所で札を掲げられても私達は分からないので…、それなら乗降場所は同じようにされた方が良いのでは？と思いました。（英語で説明されていたなら、すみません！）

My child was able to ride something that they couldn't due to height restrictions last time, so we enjoyed it even more this time. You can have fun all day! I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii.

子供が前回身長制限で乗れなかったものが、乗れるようになったので前回よりも満喫できました。一日中楽しめます！
ハワイに行った時はまた行きます。

It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done, but I couldn't meet the dolphins on this day... There was a large turtle, though. The staff were bright and friendly. I'm really, really disappointed. I think it would be nice if they could consider a partial refund if we can't meet the dolphins. It's not about the money, but about the feelings.

自然のことだからしょうがないけど、この日はイルカさんには出会えませんでした…。
大きな亀さんはいました。スタッフの方は、明るく親切です。
本当に本当に残念。イルカと会えなければ少し返金、とか考えて貰えるといいかと思います。お金の問題ではなく、気持ちの問題で。

I chose a plan with transportation and brought water with me. Juice can be purchased on-site.
It's better to bring a change of clothes! Since the return trip is by regular bus, it would be difficult to stay wet. The air conditioning is also effective.
Unlike in Japan, there were thrilling slides, so adults could enjoy themselves too.
Additionally, it wasn't crowded, and there was almost no waiting time.
Waiting for just under 30 minutes to enter was tough in the strong sunlight.
Since I had read experiences beforehand, I was able to leave my valuables on a bench without worry.
Most of the visitors were Japanese or locals.
There were pictures of items like hamburgers, so even if you can't speak English, you can manage when ordering.

送迎ありのプランにし、水を持っていきました。ジュースは現地で購入です。
着替えを持参した方がいいです！
帰りも普通のバスの為、濡れたままは難しいと思います。クーラーも効いています。
日本のとは違って、スリル感満載のスライダーがあったりしたので、大人も楽しめました。
また、混んでなく、待ち時間はほぼなし。
入園するまでに30分弱待ったのが、日差しが強い中で大変でした。
事前に体験談を見ていたので、貴重品はほぼ持たずに、ベンチに荷物を置いていても大丈夫でした。
日本人、現地の人？が大半です。
ハンバーガーなどは写真があったりしたので、注文時も英語が話せなくても何とかなりました。

We arrived at the sandbar a little past the time of the lowest tide, so we didn't see the magnificent sandbar we had envisioned. However, we were able to have fun playing in the beautiful shallow waters offshore, even with the deep sea being a bit scary for the kids. During our subsequent sea turtle search, we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles. Furthermore, during the snorkeling, although the visibility was low, the friendly and fun staff helped create a relaxed atmosphere, making it an enjoyable optional tour for all the participants.

サンドバーに到着した時間は、最も潮が引く時間帯を少し過ぎていたようで、描いていたような見事なサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、美しい沖の浅瀬で、まだ深い海が怖い子供とも楽しく遊ぶ事ができました。その後に行ったウミガメ探しでは、沢山のウミガメに出会うことが出来て感動でした。さらにその後のシュノーケリングでは、透明度は低かったのですが、親切かつ楽しいスタッフの方々の盛り上げもあり、沢山いた参加者もリラックスして楽しめるオプショナルツアーでした。

The staff's response is good. It's reassuring that they can communicate in Japanese. I think it's a valuable experience to be able to see sea turtles up close.

スタッフの対応は良い。日本語も通じる為安心できる。ウミガメを近くで見れるため貴重な体験ができると思う。
