All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I participated with my 6th and 4th grade children! All the slides were fun. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to go again!

小学6年と4年の子どもと参加しました！スライダーはどれも楽しかったです。お昼のハンバーガーも美味しかったし、また行きたいです！

I made a reservation before my trip because I really wanted to ride this catamaran that I saw in Waikiki before. The cruising experience was just as pleasant as I expected, but I was a bit disappointed that there was no sailing.

However, the wind, sea, and sun made it absolutely wonderful.

以前ワイキキで見た、このカタマラン、今回は是非乗って見たいと出発前から予約しました。
予想通り気持ちのいいクルージングでしたが、一点、セイリングが無かったのが残念でした。

でも、風と海と太陽と、気持ち良さは最高。

We enjoyed the event. Our driver Patrick was very pleasant and knowledgeable. For the price you can’t go wrong! I would recommend for those that want to experience Pearl Harbor and Honolulu in an efficient yet enjoyable way.

The day after the wedding, eight family members from both sides (ages 21 to 65) participated. The weather was nice, and we enjoyed walking slowly along the sandbar together. We took a lot of photos, and the staff were kind and helpful, which we appreciated.

For snorkeling, we were told we would swim in a spot where our feet wouldn't touch the bottom for 20 minutes. Since both mothers from each family were not confident, I decided to stay back as well. However, we were able to rent a boat and snorkel in shallower areas, which was a lot of fun. We even got to swim with sea turtles in the shallow water! By the way, my 65-year-old father really enjoyed snorkeling too (laughs).

The BBQ lunch was buffet-style, and the meat was tastier than I expected! There were also desserts. The staff were attentive and asked if we wanted more juice, which made us very satisfied!

結婚式翌日、両家の家族8人（21～65歳）で参加しました。
天気もよく、サンドバーをゆっくりみんなで歩いて楽しかったです。写真もたくさん撮っていただいて、スタッフのみなさんも優しくてありがたかったです。
シュノーケリングは20分間足がつかない場所で泳ぐとのことで、両家の母親が自信がないと残ったので私も残ったのですが、ボートの貸し出しや浅い場所でのシュノーケリングをさせていただき、とても楽しかったです。浅いところでもしっかりウミガメと泳げました！ちなみに65歳の父はしっかりシュノーケリング楽しめたそうです₍笑₎
BBQランチはビュッフェスタイルですが、お肉が思ったよりおいしかったです！デザートもありました。ジュースのおかわりもスタッフの方が気を遣って聞いてくれたりして大満足でした！

The crew were friendly and incredibly accommodating both on the boat and in the water. The guides were great at pointing out the sealife on the reef while we snorkeled. The sea turtles were everywhere! Wonderful trip and well worth the money.

the staff was awesome, had a great time at the sandbar and snorkeling. this was such a unique experience.

I wanted to see the largest living creature up close, and that wish came true. When I participated in a tour in Okinawa before, I could only see a blow, but this time I got to see "peduncle arch," "fluke up," and even from a distance, "breaching." The boat was large, so we couldn't get too close, but it was wonderful to see the humpback whale with the naked eye. I think it depends on the weather, but on the day of the tour, the wind was quite strong on the sea, and there were waves, so I recommend bringing a sweater or jumper for warmth.

現存で生息する最大の生物をまじかで見たい。それが叶いました。
以前沖縄でツアーに参加した時はブローしか観られませんでしたが、「ペダンクルアーチ」「フルークアップ」遠目でしたが「ブリーチング」までサービスしてくれました。船が大きいため、あまり接近は出来ませんでしたが肉眼でザトウクジラを観ることができてとてもよかったです。天候にもよると思いますが当日海上はけっこう風が強く、波もあって寒かったのでセーターかジャンパー等の寒さよけの備えはしていったほうが良いと思います。

I traveled to Hawaii without deciding what to do and made reservations on-site. I booked the Segway and Kualoa Ranch by phone, but it was inconvenient without a local number. However, with Veltra, everything was done via email and in Japanese, which was super convenient...!!!

On Saturday morning, I wanted to go to the farmers' market featured in the manga "Chatterbox After Breakfast," so I reserved the afternoon barbecue lunch option.

Basically, wearing a swimsuit is fine. I wore a bikini-style swimsuit that looked almost like clothes, along with a cover-up and a T-shirt, and most people around me were dressed similarly.

Depending on the weather, the day I went was not great, and it was really cold. I passed by the morning group at the dock, and everyone looked cold, but aside from that, it was really good.

- The barbecue lunch was a buffet style on the boat, and surprisingly delicious.
- I encountered a sea turtle. It came close to the boat as if the captain was keeping it. It swam right next to us.
- The snorkeling was fun with high visibility.
- For those who want to try stand-up paddleboarding, it's available! I didn't do it, but I regretted not trying.
- Hot coffee and tea were also available.
- Photos can be downloaded from the web later.

They also lend wetsuits for free to those who want them. Onboard, they sell waterproof disposable cameras, beach shoes, rash guards, T-shirts, and anti-nausea bands. The prices aren't excessively high compared to the market, so it might be worth buying. They also offer rentals for waterproof digital cameras.

What I was glad I brought was a waterproof case for my phone. Depending on the time and season, the day I went had quite a bit of water, and there weren't any beautiful dry sandy beaches like in the guidebooks. The water level was consistently around chest to shoulder height. A regular phone would definitely get submerged.

I brought a regular-sized towel, but a slightly larger one or even a bath towel would have been better since it was cold.

I want to try again on a nice day!

ハワイで、なにをするかも決めずにバタバタと渡航して、現地から予約。セグウェイとかクアロアランチは電話予約したのですが、現地の番号がないと不便でしたが、ベルトラからだとオールEメール、オール日本語でめっちゃ便利....!!!

土曜、午前中は、漫画「おしゃべりは朝ごはんのあとで」のハワイ編でも紹介されていたファーマーズマーケットへ行きたかったので、午後のバーベキューランチ付きの方を予約。

基本的に水着を着てけばオーケー。わたしはビキニタイプのほぼ洋服みたいな水着に、はおりもの＋Tシャツでいきましたが、周りもほとんど同じような感じです。

天候によりますが、わたしが行った日は天候に恵まれず、すごく寒かったです。。
船着場で午前便の人たちとすれ違ったのですが、皆さん寒そうでファンになりましたが、寒い、という以外はすごくよかったです。

-バーベキューランチは船上でビュッフェすたいるなんだけど、以外と美味しい。
-ウミガメ遭遇しました。キャプテンが飼ってるんじゃないかというくらい船に寄ってくる。リアルに横を泳ぐ。
-シュノーケルも透明度高くて楽しかった
-Supやりたい人は体験可能！これやらなかったんだけど、やればよかったと後悔。
-飲み物はホットのコーヒーとお茶もある
-写真は後日一枚、ウェブからダウンロード可能

ウェットスーツも希望者に無料で貸し出してくれます。
船上での販売物として、写ルンです(防水)、ビーチシューズ、ラッシュガード、Tシャツ、酔い止め防止バンドなどあります。相場より並外れて高いというほどではないので、購入してもいいかも。防水デジカメの貸し出しもあるそうです。

持って行ってよかったのは携帯の防水ケース。時間と時期によるのか、わたしが行った日はだいぶ水があって、ガイドブックに載ってるような干上がった美しい砂浜はなかったです。常に胸下から肩くらいまでの水位。普通の携帯なら確実に水没します。

タオルは普通サイズのタオルでいったんだけど、少し大きめか、いっそバスタオルがよかったかも。寒かったから。

天気いい時にリベンジしたい！

My family had a fantastic time! Thanks for an enjoyable experience. Seeing the dolphins was the highlight! We would do this again.

My husband and I went on a North shore / O'ahu tour a week ago with Aloha Island Expedition. We had a wonderful time and we got to see and experience a lot of unique sites throughout the day. It was the best day we've had in our 3-weeks visit to Hawai'i. Our guide was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable and he really customized the day's activities based on our interests. He went out of his way to make sure that everything went smoothly and that we had the best time. We saw so much in 8-hours! Some of the highlights of our tour were: the Royal Mausoleum, the Green World coffee farms (such good coffee!), the many beaches along the North Shore, the Byodo-Inn temple, the Nu'uanu pali and (my personal favorite) the Ulupo heiau. Our lunch of Huli-Huli chicken and Garlic shrimp was also ono! There was nothing negative to say about the tour. It was all around wonderful. We would highly recommend it to anyone interested in seeing O'ahu in a more "authentic" light as well as people trying to see all that they can see in a day. We will definitively book another tour through Aloha Island Expedition the next time we come back to O'ahu. Mahalo nui, guys, for a job very well done!

The Japanese guide and all the staff were very cheerful and made the experience enjoyable! However, the weather was bad with rain and wind, and it was very cold, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery at all... Everyone was shivering... It made me want to go home early. There's nothing we can do about the weather, though. This is part of the nature experience. Towards the end, they served us warm drinks, which was a relief. To be honest, I wish they had served them a bit earlier.

日本のガイドさんもスタッフ皆さんも、とても明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて良かっです！
しかし、天気が悪く雨と風でとても寒く、綺麗な景色も全く見れず…
みんなブルブルガクガク…
寒いから早く帰りたくなりました。
天気ばかりは、どうしようもないですね。
これも、自然体験。
最後の方に温かい飲み物を出してくれてホッとしました。もう少し早く出して欲しかったのが本音。

It was quite a hard tour starting at 5:30 AM, but we got to see dolphins, whales, and sea turtles! The staff had great energy, and there was time for fun. I was very tired, but it was so much fun!

朝5時半集合でなかなかのハードツアーでしたがいるか、くじら、海ガメも見れました！
スタッフのノリも良く、遊びの時間もありとっても疲れましたがとっても楽しかったです。

The weather was nice, so I made an online reservation the day before. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales as I booked the whale watching at the last minute, but the lunch was more luxurious than I expected, and soft drinks were free. Considering it was a lunch cruise, it was fantastic. As soon as we boarded, we were told we could start eating, so I thought I could have had a lighter breakfast. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket and sunglasses were necessary. My 9-year-old and 4-year-old also enjoyed it.

お天気も良かったので、現地で前日にネット申し込みしました。ホエールウォッチングも最終段階での申し込みで、残念ながら見れませんでしたが、ランチが思っていた以上に豪華で、ソフトドリンクは無料で
ランチクルーズと思えば最高でした。
乗って直ぐに、食べてもいいと言うことでしたので、朝は軽めに済ませても良かったなと思いました。
クーラーもガンガンのため上着とサングラスよいどめは必要です。
9歳4歳の子も楽しめました。

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit chilly, but we were able to secure our usual chairs in front of the wave pool. When we went to buy lunch, we found a menu that wasn't there last year. It was a bento box with rice. I believe it had fried chicken, and the rice with furikake was cheaper than the other menu items, like hamburgers. And it was delicious! We always rely on Veltra for transportation and admission fees, so this bento was a pleasant surprise.

あいにくのお天気で少し肌寒かったのですがいつものように波のプール前のチェアをとることができました。お昼ご飯を買いに行った所、去年行ったときにはなかったメニューがありました。ご飯が入ったお弁当です。確かから揚げとご飯にはふりかけがほかのメニュー、ハンバーガーよりも安かったと思います。そして美味しい！いつも送迎と入園料だけでベルトラさんにお世話になっているのでこのお弁当はうれしかったです。

This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide David was great. Best value for all the stuff. Transportation to and from hotel to the tour bus it’s self.

This was my 4th time here but 1st time for my girlfriend. Just as entertaining the 4th time as it was the first. Very educational and beautiful at the same time. My package included the Luau and that was good too. Not like the other ones I've been to but still was good. The evening show was excellent and very well performed. I highly recommend going to the Polynesian Culture Center to everyone who comes to Hawaii.

Unfortunately, the weather was bad this time with rain and thunder, and we had to cancel part of the trip due to safety concerns. However, the tornado and water slide were thrilling and a lot of fun. I forgot the hat I had just bought on the bus ride back, and I truly appreciate you delivering it to the hotel right away. Next time, I definitely want to go on a nice day.

今回はあいにくに天候で雨や雷が鳴って、途中危険だと中止にもなりましたが、トルネードやウォータースライダーも迫力があり、とても楽しかったです。帰りのバスで買ったばかりの帽子を忘れてしまい、直ぐにホテルまで届けて頂いて本当に有難うございました。次回は是非天気が良い日に行きたいです。

Since it was the off-peak season, there were few people, and I was able to fully enjoy the attractions. However, the all-you-can-eat barbecue was disappointing, as the grilled meat was just left out. There were also rice, fruits, and yakisoba, but the salad vegetables seemed poorly washed, as I could feel the grit of sand.

I think it's sufficient to just enjoy the all-you-can-drink soft drinks and eat the regular food available in the park.

閑散期なので人が少なく、アトラクションは存分に楽しめたのですが
バーベキューの食べ放題のはずが焼いた肉が置いてある残念なものでした。
他にもご飯、フルーツ、焼きそばなどがありましたがサラダの野菜がよく洗ってないのか砂のじゃりじゃりがわかるほどでした。

ソフトドリンクの飲み放題で普通にパーク内のご飯を食べるので充分かと思います。

I was very satisfied that I could interact directly with the dolphins and signal to them. The trainers were also kind and taught us well, making it a great experience.

イルカと直接触れ合うことができたことと
イルカへの合図をしたりできて とても満足できた
トレーナーの方も親切に教えてくれて良い体験が出来た

This snorkeling tour was awesome! We didn’t luck out on the weather, but the crew was amazing! They were so good with kids, and very relaxed! They were also so attentive to making the trip enjoyable for everyone - offering to take pictures, offering fish food, offering drinks, supporting those who didn’t want to snorkel or who were anxious without being pushy. I loved it!

Great time. You have access to all decks. Naturalist answers all question. Plenty of seating. Servers available for sodas and coffee and cocktails. Breakfast is optional at additional charge. Bring your camera for photos of whales and view of waikiki. Enjoyed very much. Tour was wworrth. The money for sure. We did early bird . We were back before lunch time. Bring light jacket for early morning. You will enjoy this ride. Super big ship very stable. Stay on deck for best views. They know exactly where the whales are.

The tour guaranteed front-row seats, so I was able to see everything up close and was extremely excited! Since the entire show was in English, those nearby who didn't understand English seemed to have a bit of trouble, but I think the content was relatively easy to understand. The dancers were all absolutely wonderful; the graceful hula of the wahine was beautiful, the men's dance was really cool, and the fire dance was truly exhilarating! There were also many comedic elements, so I believe it's a show that anyone can enjoy, even if they're not familiar with hula or Hawaiian culture. Time flew by, and I wanted to see more and more! I will definitely use this again!

中央前方席確約ツアーだったため、とても間近で観られて大興奮でした‼︎
全編英語でのMCだったので、お近くにいた英語が分からない方は少しご苦労されていたようですが、比較的理解しやすい内容だったと思います。
ダンサーの方々がみなさんとてもとても素敵で、ワヒネの優雅なフラはもちろん、カネのダンスはとってもカッコよく、ファイヤーダンスは本当に盛り上がりました‼︎
コメディな要素も多くあり、フラやハワイの文化に親しみがなくても、誰でも楽しめるショーだと思います。
時間があっという間に過ぎてしまい、もっともっと観たかったです‼︎
また利用します！

I signed up for this tour despite a busy schedule. The meeting time wasn't too early in the morning, and I was able to make it without any issues after breakfast. The meeting place was also close to the hotel, so I didn't get lost, but it's important to note that there were other tour groups at the meeting spot. It takes just under an hour by bus to reach the boarding location.

There were many Japanese participants on the boat, and the guide was also Japanese, making for a friendly atmosphere. We arrived at the sandbar about 20 minutes after departure. This time, the water was only ankle-deep due to low tide, which was surprising to find such a shallow area offshore.

We spent about an hour at the sandbar, enjoying volleyball with the guide and local staff. We had lunch (hamburgers) prepared by the local staff and went turtle watching. From the boat, we were able to see about 3 to 5 turtles. After that, we snorkeled for about an hour. While it’s said that you can occasionally see turtles while snorkeling, we didn’t spot any this time. However, there were various fish swimming around, and time flew by quickly.

I think this is a cost-effective tour.

ハードな日程の中、このツアーに申し込みました。
集合時間は朝早くなく、朝食後でも問題なく間に合いました。
集合場所もホテルの近くで迷うことなく行けましたが、集合場所には他のツアーの人もいるので注意が必要です。
乗船場所まではバスで1時間弱で着きます。
船は日本人参加者が多く、ガイドさんも日本の方で、フレンドリーな方々でした。
サンドバーは出港後約20分ほどで到着します。今回は干潮時で足首ほどの水深でした。沖にこんな浅瀬の場所があることにはビックリです。
サンドバーで約1時間ほどいましたが、ガイドさんや現地スタッフとのバレーボールを楽しめました。
現地スタッフが作ってくれた昼ご飯（ハンバーガー）を食べ、ウミガメウォッチです。船上からですが、3～5匹ほど見ることができました。
その後は1時間ほどのシュノーケリングで、まれにウミガメを見ることができるそうですが、今回は見ることができませんでした。ただ、魚がいろいろと群がっており、あっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。

費用対効果の高いツアーだと思います。

There are other tours to the heavenly sea, but Captain Bruce's tour was great. We were able to encounter relatively shallow areas. It was difficult to find pictures that looked too stylish, but there was about knee-deep shallow water.

天国の海ツアーは他にもあるが、キャプテンブルースのツアーは良かった。比較的浅瀬のところに出くわすことができた。写真のようなオシャレすぎる絵は難しく膝上ぐらいの浅さはあった。

I chose this tour because Captain Bruce's tour can take you to the shallowest spots, and although it was a bit pricey, I wanted to ensure a good experience. I checked the low tide times and made a reservation, but the water was up to my knees. I was disappointed. To reach the shallowest area, you have to wade through water up to your waist, so be prepared to get wet. It was unfortunate that the weather was bad and I couldn't see the views I was hoping for. That's just luck. I didn't want to get my face wet, so I skipped snorkeling, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. I felt that 30,000 yen, including tips, was expensive.

キャプテンブルースさんのツアーが一番浅い場所まで行けるとのことなので、少し値は張りますが確実を狙いたくてこちらのツアーにしました。干潮の時間を調べて予約しましたが、膝下まで水がありました。がっかり。一番浅い所に行くまでに腰まで水に浸かりながら行くので、濡れる覚悟は必要ですね。天気が悪く思っていた景色が見れず残念でした。こればっかりは運ですね。顔を濡らしたくなかったのでシュノーケリングはパスしましたが、サップをさせて頂け楽しかったです。チップ込みで30000円は高く感じました。

I didn't check the local tide chart, and the shuttle bus got caught in an accident-related traffic jam, which caused us to arrive at the port a bit late. As a result, the tide wasn't as low as I had imagined for walking on the sandbar, and the sandbar was submerged up to my knees. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to explore the sandbar. It seems that if you want to get onto the sandbar, it's best to check the tide chart and make a reservation. That said, the BBQ hamburger was exquisite. So delicious. The homemade ketchup and mayo sauce combined with the hamburger were just perfect, and it was worth eating just that. My whole family, including my kids (one girl and one boy, both in elementary school), had double burgers with double patties. The weather was bad, but we saw three sea turtles, and snorkeling in the clear ocean was amazing. My kids and I had plenty of fun just snorkeling. If the weather had been good, it would have been perfect!

現地の潮位表を確認しなかったのに加え、送迎バスも事故渋滞にはまって港に到着するのが少し遅れたこともあって、イメージしたサンドバーで砂洲の上を歩くような潮位にはならず、砂洲は膝下に水没した状態でした。砂洲を散策したかったので少し残念。砂洲にあがりたければ潮位表を確認して予約するのが良いみたい。とは言え、BBQのハンバーガーは絶品。うまい。自分で作るケチャップとマヨのソースとハンバーグがばっちりgoodでこれだけでも食べる価値有り。子供ともども家族全員パテダブルのダブルバーガーにしてもらいました。天候が悪かったけどウミガメは３匹見られたし、透明度の高い海でのシュノーケリングは最高。子供（女×１、男×１、ともに小学生）ともどもシュノーケルだけでも充分楽しめました。天気が良かったら最高だったのにな～。

Loved the show. Very talented performers will definitely recommend to friends

I highly recommend it. It's right by Waikiki Beach, so you can enjoy it without wasting time and be very satisfied! I was surprised to see about five sea turtles up close. This was my first time snorkeling like this, and I was really moved. We also saw whales spouting from a distance while sailing! Plus, it ends at 11:30 (but actually lasts a solid three hours), so you can do other things in the afternoon, which is fantastic. Snacks are all-you-can-eat!

すごくオススメです。ワイキキビーチからすぐの所なので時間が取られることなく大満足できます！
ウミガメさんも5匹くらい普通に見れて結構そばに寄ってくれてびっくりしました☆
こんなシュノーケリングは初めてで感動しました。
セーリングでクジラの潮吹く所も遠目ではありましたが見れました！
しかも11:30には終わるので(でも実際3時間ガッツリ)午後から別の事も出来て最高です♬*ﾟスナックは食べ放題です( ¨̮ )

My daughter, who is now a middle school student, went on her first overseas trip to Hawaii. I wanted her to see a hula show and try kalua pork, so I signed up for this tour. It was also great that the venue was just a 2-3 minute walk from our hotel.

The buffet venue and the show venue were separate, so we had to move between them. The buffet was located in the garden space next to the 4th-floor corridor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, but it felt cramped with tables packed into a small area. There was a small hula show, which might have felt more intimate, but I think it would have been better to have a larger space or reduce the number of guests to about two-thirds for more comfort. The buffet style allowed us to fill our plates with kalua pork, roast beef, salads, and other favorites, which seemed to be enjoyable. The dessert sorbet was surprisingly sour, and both my daughter and I were taken aback by it.

As for the show venue, we were seated in the second-floor section, but it wasn't a very large venue, so we were really close to the stage and could see everything well.

中学生になる娘は初めての海外旅行、初めてのハワイでした。
フラショーを見せてあげたく、カルアポークも見て食べてみて欲しくて、このツアーに申込みました。
会場が宿泊していたホテルから徒歩２～３分だったのもよかったです。

ビュッフェの会場とショーの会場は別で移動が必要でした。
ビュッフェの会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階通路横のガーデンスペースですが、狭いスパースに詰め込んだ感満載のテーブル席でした。ちょっとしたフラショーがあり、身近に感じられてよいのかもしれませんが、もう少し広いところでするか、客数を三分の二くらいにしてゆとりがあった方がよいと思います。
ビュッフェスタイルでカルアポークやローストビーフ、サラダなど、好きなものを好きなだけお皿に入れるのも楽しかったようです。デザートのシャーベットは見た目よりすっぱくて娘と二人でびっくりしました。

ショーの会場は私たちは２階席でしたが、そんなに広い会場ではなかったのでステージまですごく近くてよく見ることができました。

Our driver did a super job of pointing out points of interest and filled us in on local history. We were picked up on time and returned on time.
