All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The day before, there was heavy rain, so they kindly lent us bicycles for free since we couldn't swim at Kailua Beach. We were originally planning to go to Lanikai Beach, so this was a great help. However, unlike in Japan, the bicycles didn't have brakes; they used the pedals for braking, which was a bit scary at first.

Additionally, the tour included mats and snorkeling, so there were no inconveniences.

前日が大雨でカイルアビーチで遊泳できなかった為、自転車を無料で貸し出して下さいました。元々ラニカイビーチに行く予定だった為、とても助かりました。けれど、日本と違い自転車のブレーキがなくペダルを用いてのブレーキだったので初めは怖かったです。
他の点としてツアーの中に、ゴザやシュノーケリングも含まれていたので不便な点はありませんでした。

There were only two Japanese groups on this day, and the rest were international tourists. You can see the streets of Waikiki from angles that are usually not visible. It was cloudy, so I didn't feel it much, but when it's sunny, the sunlight can be quite strong, so it would be good to have a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Also, if you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take some medication beforehand. (There were about two people who got sick, haha.) If you go in the morning, you can return by early afternoon, making it easy to plan your schedule afterward and allowing for a relaxing time, which was really nice.

日本人は少なめでこの日も2組のみであとは海外の観光客でした。
普段見れないところからのワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。
曇りだったためあまり感じませんでしたが、晴れていると日差しがかなりくるので帽子やサングラス・日焼け止めがあったほうがよさそう。あと、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがよさそうです。
(2名ほどリバースしてました笑)
午前中からならお昼過ぎにはもどってこれるのでその後の予定も組みやすくのんびりと過ごせとてもよかったです。

The day after arriving in Hawaii, I participated in a tour. The boat was three stories high, with the second floor being an indoor area with snacks and sofas, and the third floor being an open area with just tables and chairs. Even though I boarded a bit late, there were relatively many seats available on the second floor, but the air conditioning was too strong, so I moved to the open area on the third floor. There was also coffee, tea, and water available for self-service.

After departing, we quickly moved to the points of interest, visiting several spots. At first, it took a while for anything to appear, and I thought it might be a disappointing day, but then I heard cheers from a group of foreigners and saw a spout and a tail! After that, the whales appeared several times, and all the passengers gathered on one side to take pictures. Eventually, it was time to return to the port.

I was able to see the beautiful blue ocean and whales for the first time, and personally, I was very satisfied with the tour!

While moving at high speed, the boat swayed quite a bit, so I recommend bringing motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness. Also, the day I participated was mostly clear with hardly any clouds, but even so, the wind and air conditioning indoors made it a bit chilly, so having a light jacket that you can put on quickly would be a good idea.

ハワイに到着した日の次の日に参加しました。
船は３階建ての船で、2階は軽食やソファーが置いてある屋内タイプ、3階は机や椅子があるだけのオープンタイプの船でした。
乗船したのが遅めでも2階は比較的席が空いてましたが、空調が強すぎたんで3階のオープンタイプの階へ。
ここにもコーヒー、紅茶、お水は置いてあったんでセルフサービスでいただきました。
出航してしばらくはポイントまで高速で移動し、いくつかあるポイントを回る感じでした。
はじめはなかなか現れず、もしかしたらはずれの日かなぁって思っていたら、外国人グループの歓声とその方角を見ると潮吹きと尾びれが！！
その後もたびたび現れては乗客みんなが片側に集まってカメラを構えるのが何度か続き、時間になって港に戻りました。
綺麗な青い海と初めて鯨を見ることができ、個人的には大満足のツアーでした♪

高速移動中は船がかなり揺れるんで酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参することをおすすめします。
あと参加した日は雲がほとんどない快晴でしたが、それでも移動中の風や空調のきいた屋内は肌寒いので、すぐにはおれる上着があるといいと思います。

On the first day, I couldn't see any whales and it was just a boat trip, but on the day I was able to go back for free, I got to see them up close. It was really moving.
Everyone around was foreign, and since Japanese wasn't understood, those who are not good at English might have a hard time with communication. The crew members were very polite.

最初の日はクジラに会えず、船旅だけでしたが無料で振り返えさせてした日はすぐに近くで見る事が出来ました。凄く感動しました。
周りは外国人ばかりで日本語は通じませんので、英語が苦手な方は振り返る連絡など苦労するかと思います。クルーの方は凄く丁寧です。

We would recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center to everyone, all ages. Everyone there was very eager to share their unique cultures, they were so friendly, knowledge and fun.

The weather was bad, so we couldn't go to the sandbar we were looking forward to, but I was happy to see the turtles!

The snacks were really delicious, and it felt like a great deal!

天候が悪く楽しみにしていたサンドバーに降りれませんでしたが
亀が見れて嬉しかったです！

軽食がとっても美味しくて
お得な気分でした！

I was surprised to see a bus accident on the way, but I'm glad it was a minor one. I enjoyed the cruise!

行く途中でバス同士の事故があったりでびっくりしましたが、小さい事故で良かった。
クルーズは楽しめました！

何回も訪れているハワイですが、バックステージツアーまで付いていると言うのでとても楽しみにしての参加でした。
以前ショーだけ拝見させて頂いていたので雰囲気は解っていたのですが、楽屋裏が解っていると、又楽しさ倍増でした。
お出迎えの時からVIP待遇で、フラダンス&ウエルカムドリンク&おつまみ&何より素敵な控え室です。
当日は私達夫婦の他に5人のアメリカの方々でした。
カッコイイマネージャーが色々な説明をしながらバックステージを直接案内してくださり、その間スタッフの方々もフレンドリーにご挨拶、ショーで使われる衣装なども直接身に付けて写真を撮ってくださるなど、普段経験出来ない事にテンションが上がりました。
お食事もロブスターやステーキなどコースで美味しく頂き、充分な量で満足！
勿論、最前列での鑑賞でしたので出演者の表情まで楽しむ事ができました。
夢の様な時間が流れ、記念写真のプレゼントまで。
ちなみに、お隣のテーブルの方は25ドルの料金で記念写真をお買いになっていましたよ。
ハワイの特別な夜を過ごしてみようと思われる方には、少し奮発しても是非お勧めのコースです。
帰国してからの思い出の時間になると思います。

The combination of the rainy season, a thunderstorm a few days ago, and cloudy weather left the sea murky, so I was disappointed that I couldn't go when the conditions were at their best. However, I was thrilled to encounter a manta ray!

雨季と、数日前の雷雨と、くもりの天気の条件が重なって、海のにごりが残ってて、ベストの状態のときに行けなかった残念さはありましが、マンタに出会えて、テンション上がりました‼

If you come to Hawaii, you definitely want to visit a sandbar at least once! February can be quite chilly, so I signed up for an afternoon plan. On the day of the trip, I enjoyed the grandeur of being in the middle of the vast ocean with the water at about shin height. In the latter half, we went turtle watching. The BBQ lunch had a generous portion. The sea turtles came close, attracted by the food. They allocated enough time for us, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves.

ハワイに来たら一度はサンドバーに行きたい！
さすがに2月は寒いので午後からのプランに申し込む。
当日は脛ぐらいの位置の海面で広大な海のど真ん中で雄大さを楽しむ。
後半はウミガメウォッチ。
昼食のBBQは十分なボリューム。
餌目当てにウミガメが近寄ってきます。
充分な時間を配分してくれる為、ゆっくりできました。

I went in mid-February, and since it wasn't the peak season, it was really empty, allowing me to enjoy all the pools and slides! The temperature was just right, and I personally think this is a great time to visit.

What stood out the most for me was how friendly the staff were! I was hesitant to ride a U-shaped steep slide because I was scared, but the staff humorously encouraged me, saying it wouldn't be scary, which calmed my nerves and helped me go for it. They continued to check in on me afterward, took photos with me, and were just incredibly friendly!

Perhaps because there were many Japanese tourists, they were very engaging, and I had a lot of fun!

2月の中旬の頃に行き、シーズンではなかったのかすごくすいていて全てのプールやスライダーに乗ることができました！気温もちょうどよくこの時期に行くのがおススメだなと個人的に思いました。
その中でも、一番思い出に残ってるのはスタッフがすごいフレンドリーだったことです！Uの字型の急降下するスライダーに乗ることになったが怖くて気がすすまないでいると、スタッフが怖くならから乗りなとユーモア溢れる後押しをしてくれ、心が安らぎノリで乗ることができその後も声をかけてくれ、一緒に写真をとってくれたりとすごくフレンドリーでした！
日本人の観光客か多いからか、声をかけてくれたりとすごく楽しめました！

I didn't expect to see many whales, but I was able to see quite a few. When we arrived at the boat via the shuttle bus, there were already many guests on board, but we secured a table on the second floor and enjoyed some coffee as we set sail. After about an hour, we reached the area past Diamond Head, and just when I was about to give up on seeing any whales, we spotted one blowing water and showing its tail. We were able to see it about five or six more times. The outside deck was too crowded, but it was better inside the boat where there were fewer people, making it easy to see out of the windows on both sides. It was a sunny day, and the sun was reflecting off the water, so sunglasses were a must. When I asked the bus driver on the way back to drop me off at Ala Moana, he agreed.

クジラを見ることをあまり期待していませんでしたが、たくさん見ることができました。迎えのバスで船に着くと、船内には既に多くの先客がいましたが、２階のテーブルに席を確保し、コーヒーなどを飲んでいると出航しました。１時間ほどでダイヤモンドヘッドの先につきましたが、クジラが見当たらないのであきらめていたところ、潮を吹きながら、テールを見せるクジラを発見。その後も５-６回見ることができました。外のデッキは人が多くていけませんでいたが、船の中のほうが人が少なく、左右の窓から容易にみられるので、良かったです。当日は晴れて太陽が水面に反射していたのでサングラスは必須です。帰りのバスの運転手さんにアラモアナで降りたいとお願いしたらOKでした。

it could be better, but bad weather caused out helicopter tour be canceled. but the tour provider directly pick us and put us on the land tour. our tour leader and driver, John, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. he share us alot of things about big island. he is indeed a great driver too!

the food was normal, but lots of activity on board that you can participate. quite a great experience.

Take the tour with this company! We were hoping to see some whales and have a great cruise on the ocean. Our cruise turned out beyond expectations. Not just because we saw lots of whales but Captain Amy and her happy crew had the best attitude. They were knowledgeable, very considerate, and made sure we had fun. Despite the downpour of rain at the very end, even this turned out to be a fun adventure!

I was disappointed to only see a glimpse of the whale's back. I participated with breakfast included, but there was a limited variety of ingredients.

鯨の背中が少し見えただけで残念でした。
朝食付きで参加しましたが食材のレパートリーが少なかったです。

The crew members that took us out we not only informative, but they made the trip fun! They took their time to make sure we were having a nice time....

Unfortunately, we encountered a day of heavy rain. Many people got off the shuttle bus from the hotel without umbrellas and boarded the boat. The air conditioning was strong, and we were shivering in our wet clothes. They temporarily turned off the air conditioning after seeing us, but it was soon turned back on. The sea outside was also rough, making it quite challenging.

As for the whales, there was an announcement about their direction, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any and received replacement tickets. My friend who got seasick probably won't go again! (laughs) However, I think the tour itself isn't bad, as weather and whale sightings are a matter of luck.

あいにくの大雨の日に当たってしまいました。ホテルから送迎バスを降りて、傘を持ってなかった人も多くて船に乗り込みました。
冷房が強くて、濡れた服を着た私達は震えてました。その様子を見て一旦冷房を止めてくれたのですが、すぐに再開。外の海も荒れていたので、なかなか辛かったです。
肝心の鯨は、何時の方向にいるとアナウンスが入るのですが、残念ながら見られずに振替チケットをもらいました。
船酔いした友達はもう行く事はないかな？（笑）
でも、天気も鯨も運なので、ツアー自体は悪くないと思います。

I participated thinking I would see whales like in the photos above, but I could only see a spout in the distance and a small tail fin. If you join with expectations like those in the photos, you might feel quite disappointed. I think it's better to have the mindset that seeing even a little would be lucky. However, the tour guides and the view of Waikiki from the sea are fantastic.

As for the weather and the taste of the beer, it feels incredibly luxurious. Just be careful of seasickness!

上記の写真の様な感じでクジラが見えるのかと？と思い参加しましたが
遠くの方で潮が吹き尾びれが小さく見える程度です。
余りに写真の様な期待をして参加すると”がっかり度”が大きいですよ。
ちょっと見えればラッキーくらいの感じがいいと思います。
ただ、添乗員の皆さまや海から見るワイキキは最高ですよ。

後は天気とビールの味は最高に贅沢な気分になります。
注意はやはり船酔いですね。気を付けて！！

We participated in a dinner and show course for six people in a buffet style. During dinner, beautiful ladies and sexy handsome dancers provided great service and created a very enjoyable dining experience. The whole roasted pig had crispy skin and the meat was very delicious. We were completely full.

After that, we had premier seats, second row from the front and in the center. I was envious of those sitting on the side of the stage and in front who received scarves and leis from Elvis. I was surprised when he descended upside down from the ceiling. The balloons and soap bubbles created a fun atmosphere that united the stage and the audience.

The show was wonderful, with the dancers who took care of us during dinner performing various types of Hawaiian and rock dances with great precision. The singing of Elvis and Michael was also incredibly good, making it a dreamlike experience that passed in the blink of an eye. The fire show was amazing and spectacular. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to go again.

ヴュッフェスタイルのディナーの後ショーを見るコースで6人で参加しました。ディナーで綺麗なお姉さんやセクシーなイケメンのダンサーの方々が場を盛り上げながらサービスしてくれて、とても楽しい食事ができました。豚の丸焼きは皮がパリパリで肉もとても美味しかったです。お腹いっぱいになりました。
その後のショーはプレミア席で前から2番目の中央の席でした。ステージサイドの席や前の席の人はエルビスからマフラーやレイが貰えて羨ましかったです。天上から逆さずりに降りて来たのにはビックリしました。バルーンやシャボン玉はステージと客席が一体となって楽しい演出でした。
ショーは素晴らしく、ディナーの時お世話してくれたダンサーの方たちがキレのあるいろんなタイプのハワイアンだったりロック調だったり、それは素晴らしいダンスとエルビスやマイケルたちの歌も凄く上手で、あっというまの夢のような時間でした。ファイヤーショーも凄くて素晴らしかったてす。ハワイへ又来る事が出来たら、是非又行きたいと思います。

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks. It was exactly what we wanted to do and I loved that it did not take up the entire day so we still had plenty of time to get get lunch and spend the rest of the day on the beach :)

Our initial plan was to do some snorkeling, but at Kailua Beach, the wind was strong, the waves were rough, and the water was murky with sand, so we gave up on snorkeling. Plus, it was very cold! We changed our plans and rented bicycles for $10, allowing us to head into town and enjoy the local atmosphere, which was different from Waikiki, while cycling. We rode our bikes all the way to Lanikai Beach and were amazed by the beautiful scenery. The famous Bob's Pizza was incredibly delicious.

Since you can organize your free time as you wish, I think those who want to spend their time freely will really enjoy it. We had a great time.

There are also a few Japanese staff members, which is reassuring. They provide lockers with passcodes, so you can store your valuables. We received kind assistance from a staff member named Emiko. Thank you!

当初の目的はシュノーケルのアクティビティでしたが、カイルアビーチでは
風が強く波が荒くて砂でにごってるのでシュノーケルは諦めました。しかも、とても寒い！
予定を変更して１０ドルで自転車をレンタルできるので、町に出かけてワイキキとは違うローカルの雰囲気を眺めサイクリングを楽しみました。
そのまま自転車でラニカイビーチまで出かけて素晴らしい景色と出会い
感動。評判のボブのピザはとっても美味しかったです。
フリータイムを自分で組み立てられるので、自由に過ごしたい方は
とても楽しめると思います。私たちはとても楽しかったです。

ショップスタッフの方は日本人の方も数人いますし安心です。
暗証番号付のロッカーを貸してもらえるので貴重品も預けられます。
私たちはスタッフのえみこさんに親切にしていただきました。
ありがとうございます。

The crew members who spoke Japanese were very gentlemanly and it was great.

I participated with four adults and my one-and-a-half-year-old nephew. I was hoping for low tide at the sandbar, but it was up to my knees and thighs. Still, the weather was great, and I was amazed at how beautiful it was! My nephew brought a child-sized float and had a blast floating around!

We played and had a BBQ on the boat! The hamburgers were absolutely delicious, and I even finished what my nephew left behind! The meat was freshly grilled, so it was incredibly tasty! My father is quite particular about food, but he keeps saying how good the hamburgers were since we returned home.

It was really delicious! They were considerate of my nephew, making his hamburger early and checking on him to keep him happy. Everyone was so kind to him! After the meal, we went sea turtle watching and snorkeling, which was also a lot of fun!

It started to drizzle a little, but it stopped quickly, and we enjoyed ourselves completely. The crew was fantastic, and it was such a fun tour! I'm really glad we booked this tour! My family is still reminiscing about our memories in Hawaii. Once my nephew is old enough to remember, I plan to book this tour again!

大人４人と１歳半の甥と一緒に参加しました。サンドバーはくるぶしくらいの干潮を願ってましたが、膝上、太ももくらいでした。それでも天気が良くてめっちゃ綺麗でびっくりしました！！甥っ子は、子供用の浮き輪を持参し、ぷかぷか浮かんで楽しんでくれていました！笑
遊んで船の上でBBQ！これまたハンバーガーが絶品で甥っ子の残りも食べてしまいました、、、笑
肉が焼きたてやからめっちゃ美味しかったです！！！！
父も食にはうるさい方なのですが、
BBQで食べたハンバーガーが美味かったと
帰国してからもずっと言ってます。笑
本当に美味しかったです！
甥っ子にも気を遣っていただいて
早めにハンバーガーを作ってくださったり
甥っ子の機嫌とりにきてくださったり
皆さん可愛がってくれはりました！
ご飯の後は、ウミガメウォッチングとシュノーケリングをしました。
これまた楽しかったです！！
この辺りから小雨が降りましたがすぐ止んで全然楽しめました(^○^)
クルーの人達のノリが最高に良く
めっちゃ楽しいツアーでした！！
このツアー組んで良かったなぁ！と
未だに家族でハワイの思い出を語ってます(^○^)
甥っ子が記憶残る歳になったら
またこのツアーを組もうと思います(^○^)

Considering the winter activities, how was it? I participated knowing that visibility might be limited, but I was really disappointed because I could only see a small glimpse of the whales far away, and it wasn't clear enough to capture a photo. Although the whales were hard to see, I thought it might not be a bad tour if I considered it as a walk on the boat.

冬ならではのアクティビティのわりには、いかがなものでしょうか。
見えない場合もあるのは承知の上、参加しましたが、
本当に遠くに小さく、一瞬見えただけで、とても写真におさめることもできず、肉眼ではっきりみえたわけでもないので、がっかりですね。
ホエールは見えにくかったけれど、船の船上散歩と考えれば、悪くないツアーかな？？？と思いました。

Nice city tour with special driver but the memorial just acceptable

On the 1:30 PM cruise, it mentioned that "light snacks" were included in the price. I was expecting something like sandwiches, but it turned out to be just potato chips and cookies. I think it would be better to describe this as snacks rather than light meals. However, the beer was unlimited. Of course, we also saw whales. Ah, I'm so hungry!!!

午後1時30分のクルーズで、料金に含まれているものの中に「軽食」とありました。サンドイッチくらいでるのかな、と思っていたら、なんとポテトチップとクッキーのみでした。これでは軽食でなくお菓子と記載した方が良いと思います。でも、ビールは飲みほーだいでした。もちろん、クジラも見えました。あー、腹減った！！！

Unfortunately, the sandbar had water levels around my thighs. Because it was cloudy, the water wasn't the beautiful blue color I had hoped for. Sadly, I also didn't see any sea turtles. This tour relies heavily on nature, so there's a strong element of luck involved. I think first-time visitors to Hawaii might enjoy other activities more. If the weather had been good, I believe it would have been an amazing tour!

サンドバーは残念ながら太ももあたりの水かさでした。
曇りだった為、水も綺麗な水色ではなく残念でした。
ウミガメも残念ながら見れませんでした。
このツアーは自然が相手なので当然運要素が強いです。
ハワイはじめての方は他の事を楽しんだほうが良いと思います。
天気がよかったら最高なツアーだと思います！

It was cloudy, not rainy, on the day of the trip. I was happy to see more sea turtles than I expected. I even saw baby sea turtles! I thought the sandbar was a bit disappointing as it was only about waist-deep, making it feel more like an island. However, I was satisfied with the snorkeling and saw a lot of fish. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the sandbar properly and snorkel a bit longer. It was a little chilly that day, so I appreciate the consideration shown.

当日雨ではなく曇りでした。
海ガメが思っていたよりたくさん見る事ができ嬉しかったです。
子海ガメも見れました！
サンドバーは腰に浸かるくらいで島かな？とは思い少し残念でした。
しかしシュノーケルでたくさんお魚見れて、満足でした。
欲を言うならば、サンドバーをきちんと見たかったのと、もう少しシュノーケルしていたかったです。
当日少し寒かったので気を利かせて頂いた事だとは思うのですが。

Upon entering, we first went to put our luggage in a locker. It's located immediately to the left after passing through the gate. The large locker was $18 and the small one was $13. Since there were four of us in the family and we had four bath towels, we opted for the large locker. It was just big enough to fit all our belongings. The payment for the locker is done using a machine in front, which also offers a Japanese language option, making it easy to understand without confusion. However, if you pay in cash, be careful as the machine shows how much change you will receive, and it seems that it won't give more than that amount.

I read in reviews that it's best to have lunch right after entering, so we had lunch first. The staff at the food stand were friendly and kind, confirming our order two or three times, but as others have mentioned, they were quite laid-back. When we passed by during lunchtime, there were more than ten people in line, so I thought it would take a while at that pace.

I noticed that the schedule for each attraction wasn't posted at the entrance, which was a bit surprising, but on the day we visited, all attractions were operating without breaks. Since it was a Monday, it wasn't crowded, and we were able to enjoy unlimited rides smoothly. It was thrilling, and the kids (a 2nd-year middle schooler and a 3rd-year high schooler) were very happy and had a great time.

I personally would love to go again.

入場して、まず荷物をロッカーに入れに行きました。ゲートを入ってすぐ左手にあります。大18ドル、小13ドルでした。私たちは、家族4人でバスタオルも4枚持っていたので大にしました。全部の荷物がギリギリ入る大きさでした。ロッカーの清算は、前にある自販機のようなものでします。日本語も選べて分かりやすく迷う事もありませんでした。しかし現金で払う場合は、お釣りがあと何ドル出るのか表示されていて、それ以上のおつりが出ないようなので気をつけて下さい。
口コミで、入場したらすぐにランチを食べた方がいいと書かれていたので、まずランチを食べました。売店の方は、愛想はよく親切で2、3回注文を確認してくれましたが、みなさんが書かれている通り、のんびりとしていました。お昼の時間に前を通ったら１０人以上は並んでいたので、あの調子だと時間がかかるだろうなと思いました。
各アトラクションのスケジュールが玄関に掲示されてなく、あれ？と思いましたが、私たちが行った日は、全部のアトラクションが休憩することなく行われていて、月曜日ということもあり混雑することもなく、乗り放題で順調に全部のものに乗れました。スリルがあり子供たち（中学2年、高校3年）もとても楽しかったと喜んでいました。
私自身もまた行きたいなと思います。
