All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I first visited in November 2017 and returned again in October 2018. This time, things seemed different; it looked like the number of cast members had significantly decreased. Even after huffing and puffing up the stairs to the slide, I encountered closed signs (crying). This happened frequently, which made it hard to enjoy myself. The morning pickup was also about 30 minutes late, and I felt that the price for four and a half hours was a bit high. It was disappointing that the children's slide was closed as well.

Overall, it was disappointing.

2017年11月に初めて来て、今回2018年10月に再び訪れました。初回とは様子が変わっていて、キャストがかなり人数が減っているみたいで、スライダーの階段をはーはー言って登ってもクローズの看板(泣)そんな事がしばしばあって楽しめませんでした。朝のピックアップも30分程遅れてくるし、4時間半でこの値段は高いかな？と思う内容でした。子供用スライダーもクローズで残念でした。

全体的に残念でした。

It was supposed to be a guided tour with a Japanese guide, but the bus guide only spoke Japanese for jokes and didn't inform us about when to get off or the order of disembarking, so I almost missed my stop. The boat staff were good, but unfortunately, the weather was bad and it was cold on the ground. It might be better to check the tide times before booking.

日本人ガイド付きとなっていましたが、バスのバスのガイドさんは冗談だけ日本語で帰りは途中で下車し、降りる順番とかも教えてくれなかったので危うく乗り過ごすところでした。船のスタッフさんは良かったですがあいにくの天気で地上は寒かったです。潮の時間を調べて申し込んだ方が良いかもです。

Great trip got to see lots of turtles. The lunch was good and the staff (Mike, Jenner, Ken) were excellent- thank you.

It seems everyone was able to see it, but I couldn't. What a pity!

The food was just okay, but the three-story ship was great! The first floor had dining, the second floor was a live music bar, and the third floor had a deck and bar, which made for a fulfilling experience! Above all, the sunset was beautiful to see!

料理はまぁまぁでしたが、3階建ての船で1階でご飯、2階が生演奏バー、3階はデッキ＆バーと充実して楽しめました！
とにかくサンセットが綺麗に見えて良かった！

I went on the last night in Honolulu.
All the dishes were very delicious, but the meat and foie gras were especially amazing. Personally, I found the final coffee to be very tasty, and honestly, I'm not good with coffee, but this time I felt it was delicious for the first time.
The portion sizes of the dishes were just right.
Also, the service was great; I didn't have to wait for the food, and they brought the next dish right after I finished, so I was able to enjoy my meal smoothly.
I would like to use this place again.

ホノルル最終日の夜に行きました。
どの料理もとても美味しかったのですが、肉とフォアグラは特に最高でした。あと個人的には最後のコーヒーがとても美味しくて、正直コーヒーが苦手なのですが、今回初めて美味しいと感じました。
料理のボリュームもちょうど良かったです。
あとサービスも料理は待たされることなく食べ終わったら次を持ってきてくれたのでスムーズに食事ができてよかったです。
また利用したいと思います。

I participated on September 28. The hotel pickup was about 15 minutes late, and I was contemplating whether to call for inquiries when a large bus arrived. We were the last pickup. However, it was reassuring that the pickup location and the contact number for inquiries in case of delays over 10 minutes were clearly stated at the time of booking. There were only two of us Japanese; the rest were from Australia and the United States. The guide on the bus spoke Japanese, which was helpful.

The seating on the boat was basically free. There were round tables for six. Since the boat was spacious and the tables were large, we could enjoy our meals without worrying about the people next to us. It was a buffet style, and there was plenty of food, which was satisfying. The pineapple among the fruits was particularly delicious, and I ate quite a bit of it.

We could move freely between the second and third floors, so I went to the front to take pictures of Diamond Head while it was still light. Then I went to the back of the boat to watch the sunset. Finally, it was time for the fireworks. The display lasted about five minutes, but it was a satisfying fireworks experience. The weather was good, and there were no waves, making it a comfortable viewing of the fireworks from the boat. The weather and waves depend on luck, so all we can do is pray for good conditions.

９月２８日の参加です。ホテルピックアップが約１５分遅れ、問い合わせの電話をしようかと迷っていたところへ大型バスが到着。私たちが最後のピックアップでした。ただ申し込み時に、ピックアップの場所と１０分以上遅れた場合の問い合わせ先も明記してあったので安心でした、、、。日本人は私たち２人だけ。あとはオーストラリア、アメリカから。バスに添乗していたガイドさんが日本語の話せる方でしたので、助かりました。船の席は基本自由。６人掛けの丸テーブル。広い船内と広いテーブルでしたので、隣の方を気にすることなく食事ができました。バイキング形式でしたが、量もふんだんにあり、満足でした。フルーツではパイナップルがとても美味しかったのが印象的でした、、、かなり食べました、、、。
２階３階へは移動が自由でしたので、明るいうちにダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に収めるため先頭へ。夕日を観るため船尾へ。そして花火の時間。打ち上げは５分ほどでしたが満足の花火観賞でした。お天気が良く波もなかったので快適な船からの花火観賞でした。お天気と波は運次第ですね。祈るしかありません。

Unfortunately, when I went, it was high tide, so I couldn't see the sandbar and the water level was up to my waist, but it was still incredibly beautiful and moving! When I went snorkeling around the coral reef, we were lucky enough to have a sea turtle come close to us, and we were able to swim together very closely! The staff were also great at creating a fun atmosphere, and on the way back, they played the ukulele and sang for us, making it a truly wonderful memory! I want to go again!

残念ながら私が行った時は満潮でサンドバー見れず腰くらいまで水位がありましたが、それでもとってもきれいで感動しました！
サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリングした時も、運良く私達の近くにウミガメが来てくれてとっても近くで一緒に泳ぐことができました！スタッフさん達も盛り上げ上手で帰りは船でウクレレ弾きながら歌ってくれたり、最高に素敵な思い出になりましたっ！また行きたいです！

At first, I had low expectations, but the entertainment was of very high quality and I really enjoyed it. One downside was that the spacing between the tables in the VIP section was narrow; I would have liked a bit more room.

最初はあり期待をしていませんでしたがエンターテイメントしてクオリティが非常に高く楽しめました。ちょっと残念だったのがVIP席のテーブル間隔が狭かった事、もう少し隙間がほしかった。

This was a great adventure. My wife and I had a wonderful time.

The day started with a bus picking us up from Waikiki to get to Kaneohe Bay. It was short 25 min drive to get there. Once we got off the bus, we headed over to the boat area to join the crew. A tour guide (both Eng and Jpn) was present to walk us through the process the whole time. She walked us through some safety cautions and basic procedures, and the whole crew was very pleasant to be around the whole time.

The boat ride was a few minutes to get to the sandbar. That day, the water was up to our waist. Very refreshing experience to be out in the ocean and have sand to walk on. My wife practiced snorkeling while I walked around, explored, and took pictures. It was a gorgeous sight. Some of the other guests played volleyball in the sand/water, which looked like a lot of fun too.

Soon after, we went back onto the boat and were treated to good ol' barbecue lunch. Cheeseburger, beans, and pineapple. Nothing crazy, but it was nice and filling after an hour of excursion out in the sandbar. We then started traveling to the private reef. During the transit, we were able to witness few turtles and manta rays that swung by to say hi to our boat!

Once we got to the reef, we got basic snorkeling gears and were given about an hour to explore the reef. A little scary at first, but after getting in the ocean, it was a blast. The fishes are not afraid and they come very close to the swimmers. We were lucky enough to catch a turtle while we were swimming too. It was such a beautiful and refreshing experience.

All in all, I definitely recommend the experience to anyone that's visiting Hawaii. For first-timers, it's definitely a beginner friendly experience and you really get a variety of joyous adventures.

Unfortunately, I didn't check the low tide times, so I couldn't experience the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to do my research before going.
The BBQ lunch meat we had on the boat was very delicious!! I would love to eat it again!
The staff were very kind and it was great.

残念ながら、干潮時間を調べて行かなかったので砂浜を体験することができませんでした。次回はしっかり調べて行きたいと思います。
船上で食べたBBQランチのお肉がとても美味しかったです！！また食べたいと思いました！
スタッフの方はとても親切で良かったです。

I had made a reservation for an early morning tour, confirming that the tide would be low at that time. However, due to some trouble, I couldn't participate in the early tour. Thanks to the quick thinking of VELTRA, I was able to join a later morning tour. Although I couldn't walk on the sandbar, I was satisfied to encounter sea turtles.

午前中の早い時間であれば潮が引いていると確認してその時間に合わせて予約を入れていたのですがトラブルがあり早い時間のツアーに参加できませんでした。ベルトラさんの機転で午前の遅い時間のツアーに参加することが出来ました。サンドバーを歩くことはできませんでしたがウミガメと遭遇でき満足です。

I was very satisfied because there isn't a large water park in my area. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the beach, but I was able to enjoy a different kind of fun.
I attended with my mother, but I got the impression that there were many couples. I felt a bit awkward sharing a four-person slide with couples. Haha.
However, I was disappointed that the water slide I was looking forward to was closed for maintenance or due to a malfunction, so that's something I'll regret. Therefore, I would like to come back here again when I visit Hawaii!

私の住んでる地域には大きいプールパークが無く、とても満足しました。ハワイと言えばビーチですが、いつもと違った楽しみ方ができました。
私は母と参加しましたが、カップルが多い印象を受けました。4人乗りのスライダーでカップルと一緒になるのはなんだか申し訳ない気がしました。笑
ただ、楽しみにしていたウォータースライダーが点検や故障でやっていなかったので、そこが心残りです。なので、ハワイに行った際はまたここに遊びにきたいと思います！

I booked this for the fireworks, but the sunset was amazing, and the fireworks were fantastic as well. The view from the sea was unobstructed, with Diamond Head shining in the sunset and the hotels in the background, making it a spectacular sight. It was a tour I would love to join again.

花火を目的で予約しましたが、夕日は最高だし、花火も最高でした、海から見える景色は遮るものもなく、夕日に輝くダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテル群、見ごたえがありました。
また参加したいツアーでした。

Was expecting more glass, more drinking, and more swimming. But it was still a great time. The guides were great and knowledgeable. And we saw turtles!

The sandbar had water up to my waist to chest due to the tides, but I still enjoyed walking around. It was great to practice snorkeling as well.

For snorkeling, there were many participants, so the instructions were thorough, but the basics were left to the participants, which might not be very enjoyable for those who are inexperienced. When I went snorkeling in other countries, the staff would swim alongside us, so some people might find that aspect disappointing.

サンドバーは潮の関係で腰から胸あたりまで水がありましたが、それでも楽しく歩けました。シュノーケルの練習もできてよかったです。
シュノーケリングは、参加者が多かったせいか、丁寧に説明してくれましたが基本はほったらかしなので、できない人はあまり楽しくないかも。他の国でシュノーケリングをした時は、スタッフがついて泳いでくれたりしたので、人によってはその辺りを残念に思う人もいるかもしれません。

It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.

今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち二人で後は外人ばかりでしたが、魚が沢山いたうえに、ウミガメとあんなに近くで一緒に泳げたのは、初めての経験でした。
渡ハ何十回めにしての感動ものでした。

Best thing I did in Hawaii. Crew were amazing! Cornbin was my favourite (dude with the shredded 6 pack and sweet smile). The perfect way to see some beautiful turtles. Also great opportunity to sale the crystal clear waters. 10/10.

The “booze cruise” as we called it(bachelorette party) definitely was amazing! The bride enjoyed it most(out of all the other activities we did that weekend) and that’s all that mattered. The boat crew were surprisingly interactive during our activities and even joined in our sandbar volleyball match. So much laughs and the scenery/water/weather was breath taking. Although we are from Maui and experience a lot of boating and time in the water, to the crew that worked September 29th, 2018(I didn’t get names) YOU ALL WERE FABULOUS!! Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!

Purchased our VIP package from the outset it was a great night good food fantastic entertainment and a very lovely waitress all made it a very special evening. The costumes were amazing and singers and dancers excellent a true taste of Hawaii and its culture along with a lot of happy memories of different musical stars we have

Great boat and friendly crew, relaxing morning and turtles easily spotted. Highly recommended

I participated in the tour for my wife, who loves hula. The location was convenient, being close to the hotel and having a shopping mall nearby. Above all, the entertainment from the show was excellent.

フラ好きの女房の母親の為にツアーに参加しました。
場所がホテルから近くショッピングモールも有り便利でした。
何よりショーのエンターテイメントが最高でした。

The contrast of blue, the mysterious experience of standing in the sea, and encountering many sea turtles made for a truly wonderful experience. The crew was very attentive to ensure that all participants enjoyed themselves, which was great. Thank you! The hamburgers were juicy and very delicious. Although the boat goes out to sea, it hardly sways, so even for someone like me who gets seasick easily, it was fine. At the snorkeling spot, there were many colorful fish, and I felt it was a highly satisfying tour. I think you will definitely get sunburned, so sunscreen is a must! I forgot to apply it on my calves and ended up very red, haha. For those participating, be careful with your calves and the tops of your feet. That said, I’m really glad I participated. I highly recommend this tour.

青のコントラスト、海の中に立っている不思議な体験、海ガメさんにもたくさん出会えてとても素晴らしい体験ができました。^ ^クルーの皆さんも参加者全員が楽しめるようにとても気を配ってくれたので、とても良かったです。ありがとうございました！ハンバーガーもジューシーでとても美味しかったです。船から沖に進みますがほとんど揺れることもないので酔いやすい私でも大丈夫でした。シュノーケリングのポイントではカラフルなお魚もたくさんいて満足度の高いツアーだと感じました。日焼けは多分とてもすると思いますので日焼け止めは必須です！私はふくらはぎに塗り忘れて真っ赤になりました笑笑 参加される方、ふくらはぎと足の甲要注意です。とはいえ、参加して本当に良かったです。おススメのツアーです。

I was wondering if the food wouldn't be good because it's a buffet, but the quality is high! The whole roasted pig and roast beef are really delicious. The show was also amazing, and the venue was lively, it was the best!

ブュッフェだからご飯が美味しくないのかなーと思っていたら、質が高いです！豚の丸焼き、ローストビーフも本当に美味しい。ショーもすごく会場が盛り上がり最高でした！

This is my second time participating, and it was truly fun and amazing. The turtles came really close, and I was able to see many fish. Overall, the view underwater was the best in every direction. I forgot everything else and felt completely recharged. And the delicious BBQ! Thank you, Rika!

2度目の参加ですが、本当に楽しい、最高です
カメさんもものすごい近くに寄ってきてくれたり、たくさんのさかなたちがみれたりと、
とにかく360度海の中での最高の景色
もう、すべて忘れられて、充電完了です
そして、美味しいBBQ
リカさん、ありがとうございました！

This was our second visit to the center and we enjoyed it as much as we did the first time. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and aware of each of our needs. The young performers were excited about their culture and were full of energy and joy as they shared their culture with us. The luau was very good and the show was excellent. A very enjoyable family activity. We would highly recommend thie Polynesian Cultural Center as s part of your Oahu experience.

The entertainment and activities were excellent!!
The young entertainers were very enthusiastic and had so much energy. We enjoyed this luau very much.

At Sandbar Beach, I couldn't see the sandy beach due to the water level being up to my waist on the day of the tour, but I still had a good time. The lunch was plentiful and delicious. I was able to see some sea turtles from the boat as well. I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and overall, I was satisfied.

サンドバービーチはツアー参加日腰くらいまでの水で砂浜は見れませんでしたが、それでもそれなりに楽しめました。お昼もボリュームが満点で美味しく頂けました。ウミガメも船の上からでしたがそれなりに見れました。シュノーケルはお魚もそこそこ見れて、全体的には満足です。

It started with a fun and easy-to-understand explanation from Yuki, who perfectly embodied the image of a Hawaiian sister, complete with laughter. The sandbar only appears at the perfect timing, which is difficult since it's a natural phenomenon. Unfortunately, it didn't appear during our visit. All the other staff members, besides Yuki, were friendly and kind. The lunch was also quite substantial. On the day we participated, the weather was rainy and cloudy, but it miraculously cleared up just in time for the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. As soon as we finished and returned to the port, it started to rain again, so we were really lucky. We were able to see many turtles. It was a lot of fun.

ザ・ハワイのお姉さまっというイメージ通りなユキさんのわかりやすく笑いありの楽しい説明から始まりました。サンドバー自体は絶好のタイミングでのみ砂浜が出てくる事らしく、自然の事なので難しいですね。私たちの時は出現せずでした。ユキさん以外のスタッフの方皆さんも気さくで親切でした。ランチもボリュームありです。私たちの参加日の天気は雨と曇りで、ちょうどサンドバー、ウミガメウォッチング、シュノーケリングのタイミングだけは晴れて、全て終わって港に着いたら雨が降り出し、本当にラッキーでした。ウミガメもたくさん見れました。楽しかったです。

If you want to get out of Waikiki for a quick outing then this Tradewind Sail with Mana Kai Catamaran is perfect! Departing from the middle of Waikiki, it's a beach boarding and all you need is a pair of sunglasses and water. The captain and crew took us towards out the blue ocean and there you are just sitting looking at the iconic Diamond Head.
It's was great to just relax and bake under the sun for one hour!
