All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

In the morning, when I went out to the hotel entrance before the pickup time, the shuttle bus was already there. After confirming my name, they wrapped a paper with the return bus number and time around my wrist. The guide seemed to only speak English and informed us that there would be an explanation from a Japanese-speaking guide once we arrived. The pickup time was 9:35 AM, and the bus departed at 9:43 AM. We arrived smoothly around 10:25 AM without getting caught in traffic.

Upon arrival, a guide who spoke Japanese provided explanations. They checked names in order while handing out tickets for entry. Although they said the e-voucher was not necessary, it was confirmed, so it was smoother for those who had it, even though some did not.

At the entrance, they checked our bags, and it seems that no food or drinks were allowed except for one unopened bottle of water per person. The day was enjoyable and passed by in no time.

朝、ピックアップの時間前にホテルの玄関に出ると迎えのバスはもう着いていました。
名前を確認してもらい、帰りのバスナンバーと時間が印刷された紙を手首に巻いてくれました。このガイドの方は、英語しか出来ないようで、着いたら日本語のガイドさんから説明がありますよというようなことを教えてくれました。ピックアップ時間が9時35分 バス出発が9時43分でした。現地までは、渋滞に巻き込まれることもなく、スムーズに10時25分くらいに到着しました。
到着すると日本語の出来るガイドの方が説明をしてくれました。名前を順番に確認しながら、チケットを受け取って中に入場しました。eバウチャーはいらないということでしたが、一応、確認されますので、持っていない方もいらっしゃいましたが、持っていた方がスムーズにいきます。
入り口で荷物の中を確認されますので、未開封の水（一人一本）以外は、飲食物は持ち込めないようです。
一日中、楽しくあっという間に終わりました。

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.

I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

The guide was only in English, and there were no other Japanese people besides us. During the sailing, we were able to listen to the guide's fun stories and see sea turtles. My 3-year-old daughter got a little seasick due to the slight rocking of the boat, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was amazing.

英語ガイドのみ、周りのお客さんも私達以外日本人はいませんでした。
セーリング中はガイドさんの楽しいお話を聞けたり、ウミガメを観れたりしました。船の揺れが少々あったため、3歳の娘は少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、海から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした。

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter. Of course, the trainer spoke English, so I was worried about my limited listening skills, but they kindly taught us using body language, which made it a lot of fun. It might be reassuring to have some basic swimming skills. The dolphins were truly adorable, and both my daughter and I were captivated. Although it was only 25 minutes, I think it was just the right amount of time for a 6-year-old in terms of physical stamina. The next day, my daughter seemed to have the best memories, as she didn't want to leave the dolphin lagoon at all.

６歳娘と参加しました。
もちろんですがトレーナーさんは英語ですので、私のつたないリスニング能力では心配でしたが親切にボディランゲージで教えてくれたのでとても楽しめました。
軽い泳ぎの能力はあった方が安心かもしれません。
イルカは本当に可愛くて、娘も私も虜になりました。
２５分ですが６歳児には体力的に丁度良かったと思います。
次の日イルカのラグーンから全然離れないくらい娘には最高の思い出になったようです。

It was so much fun with many famous people like Michael and Katy! The food was also great and suited the Japanese palate!

マイケルやケイティなどたくさんの有名人が出てノリノリで楽しかったです！！
ご飯も日本人の口に合うもので、最高でした！！

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. The customer service was also polite, and the staff were cheerful. Plus, I was able to see the whales up close. It was the best trip ever.

正直、あんまり期待してなかったが、予想以上に楽しめた。接客対応も丁寧で、スタッフさんが明るい。そして、クジラもとっても近くで見ることができた。
最高の旅でした。

It was one of the neatest places I have ever been and i can't wait to start planning a trip back

This was my second trip to Hawaii, and this time I was excited to add my son for our first family trip to Hawaii. I quickly signed up for the Rock-a-Hula show. To be honest, I was anxious about what kind of show it would be and whether the meal would be satisfactory, but those worries were completely unnecessary. It was truly the best show and dinner, creating wonderful memories.

The venue is located in the heart of Honolulu, inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, so we arrived without getting lost. When I showed the voucher at the reception, they gave me a backstage tour pass to hang around my neck. At the entrance, the performers welcomed us with hula. The backstage tour was about to start. The manager himself passionately explained the costume room and dressing rooms (in English, but I could understand it somehow!).

They took us to Elvis's dressing room, where we enjoyed a welcome drink and snacks. While we were there, Elvis made an appearance! He took individual photos with us. The commemorative photos taken here are given to you at the end along with a mount, so make sure to take a picture in your favorite outfit with a smile!

After finishing the backstage tour, it was time for dinner. We were guided to seats right in front of the stage, and I was immediately impressed by the location. There were already dinner-only guests seated, but our seats were in a prime location closer to the stage. I was worried about the quantity and taste of the dinner, but both the volume and flavor were excellent. Even my wife, who isn't fond of American steak, finished her meal without any issues. Around that time, guests who were there for the show only were being seated in the stand. Being a few steps closer to the stage than them gave us a slight sense of superiority. Soon, the show began. First was Elvis, then MJ, and finally Katy Perry, with a seamless flow of dance and song that showed they had practiced well. I also got to know the people sitting next to us, and we had a great conversation. By chance, an elderly couple was sitting next to us, and when I talked to them, I learned that they visit Hawaii almost every year and come to see the Rock-a-Hula show each time. They mentioned that the performers and the lineup change every time, so they never get bored.

Before I knew it, the show was over, but as we headed to the exit, the performers came to see us off and happily took photos with us. The manager also casually chatted with us, and I could really feel that all the staff were dedicated to ensuring that the guests were satisfied. I don't know when I will be able to come again, but I definitely plan to return the next time I visit Hawaii.

人生２度目のハワイ、今回は息子を加えての初の家族でのハワイ旅行に気合を入れ、早々とロック・ア・フラショーに申し込みをしました。正直、どんなショーなのか？ 食事は満足できるのか？ 不安を抱えて当日を迎えましたが、全くの無駄な心配でした。本当に最高のショー＆ディナー、素晴らしい思い出になりました。
会場はホノルルの中心、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中なので迷うことなく到着できました。受付でバウチャーを見せるとバックステージツアーのパスを首からぶら下げてくれます。入り口ではパフォーマー達がフラで出迎えてくれます。いよいよバックステージツアーのスタートです。バックステージツアーは支配人自ら衣裳部屋や楽屋など、熱弁で説明してくれます。（英語ですが、何となく伝わってきます！）
エルビスの楽屋に連れて行ってくれ、そこでウェルカムドリンク＆お摘みをいただきます。と言っている間に、エルビスが登場！ 個々に記念撮影をしてくれます。ここで撮影した記念写真は最後に台紙とともにプレゼントしてくれますので、お気に入りのファッションと笑顔で撮影してもらいましょう！
バックステージツアーを終えると、ディナーの開始です。ディナーはステージ目の前の席を案内され、まずはその場所に感動します。
バックステージツアーには参加されないディナーオンリーのお客様がすでに着席されていましが、彼らよりステージに近い特等席です。ディナーの量や味も不安でしたが、ボリュームも味も文句なし、アメリカンなステーキが苦手な奥さんも難なく完食です。そのころ、スタンド席にショーオンリーのお客様が案内され着席されていきます。彼らより数段ステージに近い私達は若干の優越感を感じます。程なくショーのスタートです。まずはエルビス、そしてMJ、最後にケイティペリーという構成、全く間を開けずにダンス＆歌、よく練習されている感じが伝わります。隣席の方々とも仲良くなり話も弾みます。今回はたまたま隣席にご年配のご夫婦が居られましたが、話を聞くと毎年のようにハワイに訪れており、その都度ロック・ア・フラショーを見に来られるそうです。毎回出演者や構成が変わるので、飽きることは無いそうです。
あっという間にショーも終わってしまいましたが、出口に向かうと出演者がお見送りしてくれ、写真も快く一緒に撮影してくれます。支配人も気さくに声をかけてくれ、兎に角スタッフ全員が来場者に満足してもらおうという気持ちを物凄く感じました。また次にいつ来れるか、わかりませんが次にハワイに来た時にも必ず来ようと思いました。

So much fun! We enjoyed every aspect of this. Our guides took time after snorkeling to show us whales and dolphins. It was great!

This was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this. To start with, the pick-up and drop off provided was punctual and hassle free. The driver and guide on the bus were very informative and friendly. On arrival communication was perfect and our day went amazing. The Luau dinner was fantastic and definitely worth it adding to the day. The Night Show was the best thing we did while in Hawaii and the seats were great.
The guide we had for the day got us through all the main attractions and was absolutely amazing.
The only advice I would give is to allow extra time to return the following day (additional entry is provided) as there is just so much to see there.

There are various thrilling slides that are very American, and even adults can enjoy them. Also, you can't slide while wearing flip-flops, so they're not needed in the park. The paid lockers are convenient as you can open and close them freely. Outside food is not allowed, but you can bring in water.

Unfortunately, it was quite windy and cold during this visit, so I couldn't enjoy it to the fullest. Next time, I want to go on a warm day.

アメリカらしい迫力があるスライダーが色々あって、大人でも楽しめました。
また、ビーチサンダルは履いて滑ることができないので、園内では不要です。
有料ロッカーは開閉自由なので便利でした。
食品は持ち込み不可ですが、水は持ち込めます。

今回はあいにく風が強くて寒かったので、めいっぱい遊ぶことができなかったのが残念です。。
次回行くときは、暖かい日に行きたいです。

The tour was wonderful due to Larry's knowledge of Downtown. He was a pleasure to listen to and a good sense of humor. Very organized tour. Thank you

Shortly after setting sail, we could see the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head, and we enjoyed the view from the sea. The ship was large, and there was no rocking, so there was no worry about seasickness.

For lunch, we were served turkey sandwiches and roast beef sandwiches, which were delicious.

At that moment, we were able to see four whales about 5 meters from the ship.

出航 してから間もなく、ワイキキのホテルやダイアモンドヘッドが見えて、海からの景色も楽しむことが出来ます。 船も大きく、揺れもありません。船酔いの心配ありません。

ランチで用意されていた。ターキーサンドとローストビーフサンドは、美味しいです。

そんな時に、4頭のクジラが船から5m ぐらいのところで観ることが出来ました。

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon and participated as a couple. We chose the timing that matched the lowest tide during our stay, but the water level was still a bit higher than our ankles. It was unfortunate that it wasn't a day when the sandbar fully appeared, but it was great that we were able to visit during a clear time after it had rained in the morning.

The day's flow was as follows:
- Picked up from the hotel
- Moved by boat (we had malasadas, and the view of Kualoa Ranch was beautiful)
- After docking, walked to the sandbar (the water level was about waist-high at first; wearing reef shoes is reassuring)
- Photo time at the sandbar (group photos were taken, and individual photos are also available for a fee)
- Returned to the boat for a meal (delicious, with seconds available, and the coffee was great!)
- Snorkeling (some groups had their meals afterward; there were plenty of fish, but the visibility was just okay. We could borrow wetsuits for free)
- Remaining time for marine activities (though it was brief, we could do stand-up paddleboarding)
- Returned to the port (a rainbow appeared)
- Transferred back to the hotel by bus.

Since there were mostly Japanese tourists and the guide spoke Japanese, we were able to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you very much.

新婚旅行でハワイに訪れ、夫婦で参加しました。
日時は事前に滞在する期間で一番、干潮のタイミングが合うときを選びましたが、それでも足首よりも少し高い位置の水位でした。完全にサンドバーが現れる干潮の日ではなく残念でしたが、午前中は雨が降っていたので運よく晴れた時間帯に訪れることができてよかったです。
一日の流れは、ホテルにお迎え
⇒船で移動（マラサダ食べる、クアロアランチがきれいにみえた）
⇒停泊後、船を下りてサンドバーまで歩く（最初は腰くらいの水位、リーフシューズがあると安心）
⇒サンドバーで記念撮影タイム（全体で記念撮影、個人写真もとってくれますが有料）
⇒船に戻って食事（おいしい、おかわりもできるし、コーヒーもおいしかった！）
⇒シュノーケリング（食事があとのグループもありました、魚はたくさんいましたが透明度はままあです。ウェットスーツを無料で借りれました）
⇒残り時間はマリンアクティビティ（ほんとちょっとでしたが、スタンドアップパドルもできました）
⇒港に帰る（虹が出た）⇒バスでホテルまで送迎、でした。
日本人観光客ばかりだったのと、ガイドさんが日本語OKなので安心して過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

I took the city bus to Aloha Tower Marketplace (the meeting place). Right next to Aloha Tower Marketplace, there is a boat docked, and the reception is right in front of it. The office opens at 8 AM, but since we arrived early, the reception wasn't open yet, which caused a bit of confusion. For those making their way to the meeting place on their own, I think using the boat next to Aloha Tower Marketplace as a landmark is a good idea.

As soon as we boarded the boat at 8 AM, there was a bit of time (about 45 minutes) before departure. We didn't eat, but you can have breakfast on board.

As for the whales, we were able to see them. When a whale is spotted, the staff will indicate the direction based on the time on the clock. You can see the direction they point to, or others will point as well, so we were able to see the whales multiple times.

However, whales dive quickly, and depending on the location, they can only be seen from a distance, so I recommend bringing a DSLR camera if you have one.

市バス（The Bus)を使って、アロハタワーマーケットプレイス（集合場所）まで行きました。
アロハタワーマーケットプレイスのすぐ横に船が止まっており、その目の前が受付になります。
8時から事務所が開くのですが、私たちは早めに着いていたので、受付が開いておらず少し迷いました。
集合場所まで自力で行く方は、アロハタワーマーケットプレイスすぐ横の船を目印にしたらいいと思います。

8時にすぐに船に乗り込むと、出航までは少し時間（45分ぐらい）があります。私たちは食べませんでしたが、船内で朝食をとることもできます。

肝心のぐじらですが、見ることができました。クジラが見えるとスタッフの方が時計の時間で方向を教えてくれます。その方向を見るか、他の方が一斉に指をさすので何度もくじらを見ることができました。

但し、くじらはすぐに潜ってしまうのと、場所によっては遠くからしか見えないので、一眼レフカメラを持っている方は、持っていくことをお勧めします。

On February 7, 2018, I went on the long-awaited Whole Watching tour with my wife aboard the Majestic. The weather was nice that day, and the voyage was smooth with little rocking. We encountered whales about ten times, which made us very satisfied.

Since we were staying in Ko Olina, we joined the tour at the meeting point, but it was difficult to find Pier 6. We finally arrived after asking a local near Aloha Tower for directions. I think it would be helpful if a map of how to get there was posted on the website. - A 70-year-old man

2018/02/07妻とマジョスティク号で待望のWhole Wachingに出かけました。当日は天気も良く揺れもすくない航海で、鯨も10回程遭遇し満足しました。
コオリナに滞在していた為、現地集合で参加しましたが、ピアー6が判り難く、アロハタワー付近で現地の方に聞いてやっとたどり着きました。ホームページに行き方地図を掲載された方がいいと思います。70歳男性

Since this was our honeymoon, we chose the highest rank course called the Green Room, which allowed us to see behind the scenes and backstage. We received explanations about each dressing room and costume used by the cast, which enhanced our enjoyment of the show with a deeper understanding of the behind-the-scenes aspects. Above all, the special feeling of being in the Green Room, where we were treated to appetizers and sparkling wine, filled us with happiness.

The show itself was wonderful, creating a sense of unity with the audience, and the food was delicious! While the show alone would be great, if you're participating, I think it’s even more enjoyable to understand the backstage aspects as well. I highly recommend it for those celebrating a honeymoon or a special occasion!

今回ハネムーンと言う事もあり、ステージの裏側、バックステージまで拝見できるグリーンルームと言う最高ランクのコースにしました。
実際にキャストの方が使用する楽屋、衣装等１つ１つ説明して頂き舞台の裏側の事まで把握した上でショーを楽しめました。何より特別感があり、グリーンルームという部屋で前菜また、スパークリングワインのおもてなしを受けられる事が幸福感を満たしてくれます。
ショー自体も素晴らしくお客様との一体感があり、お料理も美味しく頂きました！
ショー単体でも良いとは思いますがせっかく参加されるのであれば是非、舞台裏等の事も理解された上でご覧になられるのもより楽しめるポイントかと思います。
ハネムーンや特別な日でご参加される方はオススメです！

The captain told us, and we were able to see the whale's tail perfectly! There was no rocking, and the wind felt really nice.

船長さんが教えてくれて、クジラのしっぽをバッチリ見ることができました！揺れもなくて、風がとても気持ち良かったです。

I was really worried about whether I would actually see anything, but I was glad that there were plenty of opportunities to see a lot! The operation was smooth, and the explanations on the boat were clear and varied, which made it very enjoyable!

本当に見られるか不安でしたが、実際たくさん見れるチャンスがあり良かったです!オペーレーションもスムーズで、船の上でも分かりやすく色々な説明をして下さりとても楽しめました!

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales. The wind was strong, and it was chilly being outside for a long time. Since I couldn't see any whales, they offered a re-boarding ticket at the end, but I had to decline as I didn't have the time to board again. The meal was average. The ship was nice, and there weren't too many people, so that was a positive aspect.

残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした。
風も強く、ずっと外に出ていると肌寒かったです。
クジラを見ることができなかったので再乗船券を最後に発行してくれますが、日程的に乗船する余裕がなく断念。
食事は普通でした。
キレイな船で、人もそんなに多くなかったので、その点はよかったです。

I checked the low tide days as much as possible and made a reservation. Even in the shallowest areas, the water level reached about my calves.

I rented a GoPro from Japan in advance to participate, and I was able to take really good photos and videos, so I recommend preparing a waterproof camera. I remember that it was quite expensive to rent one on-site for this tour.

The staff were cheerful, fun, and kind, and they took a lot of photos for us.

Breakfast was a buffet, and I didn't have high expectations, but it was delicious.

I joined this tour because I wanted to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, when the boat left the sandbar and returned, I could only see a little bit of a shell from a distance... It was really disappointing... Other than that, it was a very enjoyable and satisfying tour. I want to try again someday!

なるべく引き潮の日を調べて予約しました。
一番浅いところでもふくらはぎくらいまで水位がありました。

予め、日本からGOPROをレンタルして参加しましたがとても良い写真と動画を撮ることができましたので、防水カメラを用意することをおすすめします。
このツアーで当日その場で借りることもできるそうですが、結構料金が高かったこと記憶しています。

スタッフの方々も明るく楽しく親切な方々で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。

朝食はバイキング形式で、あまり期待をしていなかったのですが美味しかったです。

ウミガメを見たかったのでこのツアーに参加したのですが、残念ながら今回は船がサンドバーを離れて戻る時に、遠くからほんの少し甲羅が見れたくらいでした…本当に残念です…
それ以外はとても楽しく満足できるツアーでした。
またいつかリベンジしたいです！

Breakfast is good and we saw probably 5-8 whales!! Highly recommend during whale season

I saw whales. There were mostly large whales with spouts and tails, and I saw a pod of 2 to 3 whales about 4 to 5 times. I couldn't see the baby whales with the naked eye, but it was still a valuable experience.

With lunch included, I felt full both in my stomach and heart.

クジラ見えました。潮吹きと尾びれ大きなクジラばかりでしたが、2～3頭の群れのクジラを4～5回、赤ちゃんクジラは肉眼では見えませんでしたが。とでも貴重な体験をしました。

ランチ付きでお腹も心もいっぱいになりました。

I learned about a pool with a thrilling slide on TV before. I love pool slides, so I made a reservation right away. There were almost only slides, and I was very excited. The staff also taught me how to use the lockers, which was reassuring.
The slides were all unique, unlike anything in Japan, and I couldn't stop laughing.
I want to go again.

以前テレビで絶叫スライダーがあるプールのことを知りました。プールのスライダーが凄く好きなのですぐに予約しました。ほぼ、スライダーしかなくとても興奮しました。ロッカーの使い方もスタッフの方が教えてくれるので安心です。
日本にはなぃようなスライダーばっかりで笑いが止まりませんでした。
また、行きたいです。

Among the many dinner shows, I participated in this one, which is easily accessible from Waikiki! The course starts before sunset, and we begin with the meal. There aren't too many dishes, but it's not a problem. Alcohol is also available at the bar. The view during sunset is simply stunning. After the sun sets, the main show begins. The program is composed of captivating performances that are neither too short nor too long. The final fire dance is breathtaking! It was a program worth participating in.

数あるショーディナーの中から、ワイキキからアクセスも良いこちらのディナーに参加しました！
夕暮れ前からのコースで、最初に食事を頂きます。品数は多くはありませんが、困るほどでは無いです。
バーではアルコールも提供されています。
なんといっても夕暮れ時の景色が素晴らしい。
日が落ちてからショーの本番。
短すぎず長すぎず観るものを魅了するプログラムで構成されてます。
最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻の一言！参加する価値アリのプラグラムでした。

The wind was strong, and after having lunch, my body got cold, so I gave up. The slider was the most fun, sliding on the mat.

風が強くて、お昼食べたら体が冷え
そこで断念しました。
スライダーはマットの上ですべるものがいちばん楽しかったです。

I was looking forward to seeing whales, but in the end, I only saw a little bit of a tail far away towards the end of the cruise. The tour company might consider that a success, but I wonder if that's really enough to say we saw whales... Honestly, I was disappointed.

クジラを見るのを楽しみに行きましたが、結局、クルーズ終盤に遠くに少しだけテールが見えたのみ。催行会社としては、あれでも見れた、となるのでしょうが、あれで見れたとするのばいかがなものかと、、、。正直がっかりでした。

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery during the cruise! I would like to try again next time!

残念ながらクジラを見ることは出来ませんでしたが、景色の良いクルージングをした事は良かったです！次回また、挑戦したいと思っています！

It was tough getting up early, but the ship was luxurious and there was an explanation in Japanese, which was great. However, I suffered from severe seasickness. My friend, who didn't get seasick, said they only saw the whale's tail. The staff were very accommodating, and the person in the hall showed us a video of the whale when it appeared on their phone! This time, I chose not to have breakfast, but the food looked delicious, and I was able to add it for $13 per person.

朝早くからで大変でしたが、船が豪華で日本語での説明もあり、よかったです。ただ、船酔いが酷かったです。船酔いしなかった友人はクジラのしっぽだけは見れたと言ってました。スタッフさんの対応が良く、ホールの方のケータイでクジラが現れた時の動画を見せていただきました！今回、朝食なしを選択したのですが、周りの人が食べているのが美味しそうで1人13ドルで追加できました。
