All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The crew, the experience and the other people on board from around the world!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

This was my second experience.

This time there were waves, and many people got seasick. Thank you to the crew for handling the situation.

Unfortunately, despite the captain's search efforts, we weren't able to see any dolphins. Last time, we were able to see dolphins multiple times... But it's nature, so it can't be helped. However, the ukulele live performance and dance on board were very lovely.

I look forward to the next time!! (^^) Thank you! (The next time is undecided...)

二回目目の体験でした。

今回はうねりがあり、船酔いの方が続出でした。
アロハを処理するクルーの皆さん、ご苦労様でした。

キャプテンの捜索努力も実らず、イルカに会うことはできませんでした。
前回は何回もイルカと会うことができたのですが・・
自然相手ですから仕方ないですね。
でも、船上でのウクレレライブとダンスはとても素敵でした。

次回に期待します！！（＾＾）
ありがとうございました！
　（次回は未定ですが・・・)

I was anxious about whether I would get to see dolphins, but I was very happy to encounter not only many dolphins but also a whale! Since it was January, it was so cold that I had to wear a wetsuit to enter the sea, so I thought it would be good if the rental fee for the wetsuit, which is $10, was included from the start. The water was very clear, and I also got to see beautiful fish. From the boat, we even spotted a sea turtle!

After meeting the dolphins, we enjoyed activities like slides and snorkeling, making the most of our time in the ocean! For lunch, we had delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain! We all had a great time singing and dancing together, and the staff really made the experience lively and fun. Since I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon, I wanted to participate in something memorable, and I'm glad I did!

Lastly, I paid $60 for the photos, but I was a little sad that there were only two types of photos from underwater ( ; ; ) I wish they had offered a bit more variety (laughs).

イルカに会えるか不安でしたが‥実際にたくさんのイルカにはもちろんのこと。クジラにも出会えてとても嬉しかったです！！1月なのでとてもウェットスーツを着なければ海に入れない寒さでしたので、料金の中に最初からウェットスーツレンタル代の10ドル込みで良いのでは？！と思いました。海の中はとても透き通っており、綺麗な魚にも出会えました。船の上からはウミガメにも出会えました＊
イルカに会った後は滑り台やsap等のアクティビィティも行え、海遊びを堪能できました！！
お昼ご飯はキャプテン手作りのチーズバーガー、美味しかったです！！みんなで楽しく歌ったり、ダンスをしたり、
スタッフの方々がとても盛り上げて下さり、とっても楽しい時間が過ごせました。今回、ハネムーンでハワイに行きましたので、何か思い出に残る体験がしたいと！思いから参加しました。参加して良かったです♡
最後に‥写真代60ドルを払ったのですが‥海の中の写真が2パターンのみというのが少し悲しかったです（ ; ; ）もう少しアピールをすればよかったです（笑）

I couldn't find any areas of dissatisfaction; I think it's a very good tour. They speak Japanese, and both the pickup bus and the crew are easy to talk to. They also respond kindly to seasickness. However, the prices for motion sickness medication and GoPro rentals are a bit high (not compared to other companies).

不満な部分が見当たらず、非常に良いツアーだと思います。日本語は通じるし、迎えのバス、船員さん共に話しやすいです。船酔いにも優しく対応してくれます。ただ、酔い止め薬や、ゴープロの貸し出し値段はちょっと高いかな(他社との比較ではない)

I had an amazing time!
It was easy to catch the waves!
The slides were also a lot of fun.
I wanted to play even more.
There were quite a few Japanese people, so we chatted about whether we rode this or that.
The surfing experience seemed difficult.

すんごく楽しかった！
簡単に波に乗れた！
スライダーもとても楽しかったわ。
もっともっと遊びたかった。
日本人が結構いたので、コレ乗りました？とか話しながら。
サーフィンの体験は難しそうでした。

Excellent Crew involvement, Breakfast was good. No Whale sighting due too choppy water and high winds.

We took this tour to honor fallen military as we were all veterans. Also it was my brothers 40th wedding anniversary. It was very moving at Pearl Harbor and the drive up to the Punchbowl Cemetary was the icing on the cake. So much history on such a small island!!

It was the original scenery of Hawaii.
The nature is abundant, and I was able to enjoy authentic hula dancing in the fern cave.
It was a wonderful experience.

ハワイの原風景、そのものでした。
自然が豊富で、シダの洞窟では、本場のフラダンスも堪能できました。
素敵な体験でした。

Loved it!!! Most Perfect wedding ever! The staff was amazing, dinner, everything was wonderful. Highly recommend this. Thank you so very much, loved it all. Cheryl

I was fortunate to be surrounded by friendly staff, and I was able to visit the beautiful Heaven's Beach. It was a place I had wanted to go for a long time, and it truly was wonderful.

気さくなスタッフの方たちにも恵まれて、とっても幸せな天国の海に行くことが出来ました。天国の海には前から行ってみたくてやっと行けた場所が本当にすてきでした。

My first sandbar experience.
I researched the low tide periods in Japan and went during that time.
I think the conditions were really good.
It's amazing that such a shallow area can form offshore; it's something that wouldn't happen artificially, and nature is incredible.
It was great to be able to experience snorkeling so close by.
I was also able to take some nice photos that I can use for next year's New Year's card.

初めてのサンドバー。
日本で干潮の時期を調べて行きました。
すごく条件が良かった方だと思います。
沖合いにこんな浅瀬が出来るなんて　人工ではまず出来ないし自然は凄い。
シュノーケルもすぐ近くで体験出来良かったですね。
来年の年賀状にのせられる様な良い写真も撮れました。

We participated as a three-generation family. The sandbar was truly beautiful, and I felt like I could have looked at it all day, making it hard to leave. We were also able to see many sea turtles, which made the children very happy. However, since we participated in February, it was colder than expected, and the water was chilly, so we gave up on snorkeling. Even so, it was truly a tour that I’m glad we participated in.

家族3世代で参加しました。
サンドバーは本当に綺麗で1日中見ていたい気分になり、
帰るのが惜しかったです。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、子供たちも大喜びでした。
ただ、参加時期が2月だったので思ったよりも寒く、水が冷たかったので、
シュノーケリングは諦めましたが、それを差し引いても本当に参加して良かったと
思えるツアーでした。

Clear skies! The ocean is so beautiful!
I was worried about whether I would see a sea turtle, but I did!
Everyone on the tour was friendly and really fun!
My husband participated in snorkeling, and since I can't swim, I didn't join, but during that time, they took care of those who couldn't participate by taking us on a cruise, which was really enjoyable!
When a sea turtle came close to the boat, we could freely get off the boat to see it, and other participants took pictures for us, making it a very fun time!
The BBQ lunch was also very delicious!
They talked with us until the end, and it went by in a flash!

快晴！海もとっても綺麗！
海ガメと会えるか心配でしたが、会えました(^^)
ツアーの皆さん、気さくでとっても楽しい方でした！
旦那さんはシュノーケリングに参加し、私は泳げないので参加しませんでしたが、その間、参加出来なかった人達をクルージングに連れてってくれたりと気遣ってくれて、とっても楽しかったです(^^)
海ガメが船に近付いてくると船から自由に降りて見に行けたり、他の参加者さんが写真を撮ってくれたりと、とても楽しい時間でした！
BBQランチもとても美味しかったです！
最後まで色々な話をしてくれて、あっという間でした(^^)

The food was good, the music was great, the entertainment was great, but I wish I would have purchased the better package. We were in an area with a bunch of younger tourists and we felt out of place.

We participated with our family of four, including elementary school students. We were worried about seasickness, but it was quieter than we expected, and we were totally fine. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and at the snorkeling point, there were many beautiful fish! The water at Angel's Beach came up to our knees, but it seemed like the kids were able to practice snorkeling, which was great. For lunch, the kids happily made their own hamburgers. However, it was cold when we got out of the water. But we warmed up with the hot cocoa that was provided. I recommend bringing a thick hoodie and a bath towel.

家族4人小学生を連れての参加でした。
船酔いを心配してましたが思ったより静かで全然大丈夫でした。海ガメもたくさん見れたし、シュノーケルポイントでは綺麗な魚がたくさん見れました！
天使の海は膝まで水がきてたけど、子供たちはシュノーケルの練習もでき良かったようです。
お昼のハンバーガー思い思いに作って子供たちは喜んでほうばっていましたね。
ただ海から上がると寒かった。でも用意して下さった温かいココアを飲んで持ち直しました。
バスタオル巻き巻き厚手のパーカーあたりを持って行くことをお勧めします。

The quality of the performers' impersonations was surprisingly high, and the production was excellent, making it an enjoyable show overall. However, the group of guests in the front row was drunk, and it was very unpleasant that they kept crossing in front of me during the show, either to go to the restroom or for other reasons.

出演者のモノマネのクオリティが予想以上に高く、また、演出も素晴らしくてショーとしては十分楽しめました。ただ、前席の団体客が酔っ払っており、トイレに行くのか、ショーの真っ最中に代わる代わる目の前を横切って行くのが非常に不愉快でした。

This tour was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't get to see but one whale. The captain and crew made every effort to locate them. And we did encounter a whale but the whale didn't want to entertain us which is no fault of the crew. The boat ride itself was nice and relaxing. I would definitely do it again.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary last December 17, 2016 aboard the Star of Honolulu Sunset dinner cruise and it was a very memorable experienced we had. The ship was clean, foods were very good, staff are super friendly and attentive and the emcee and dancers are spectacular. Everyone participated either with singing or dancing. It's was just plain AWESOME, Thank You.

I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!

My husband and I participated with our 3.6-year-old. As per the information provided, we brought towels, warm clothing, and motion sickness medication, and boarded the bus without a changing area (the wet suit rental didn't fit). I was worried about getting seasick and snorkeling in deep water for the first time, but the care from the staff completely alleviated my concerns! They said the hamburger was amazing. We swam with dolphins and fish, and also saw a humpback whale and a turtle. I was moved to hear the dolphins' voices in the video! We also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and stand-up paddleboarding, so it was definitely a fantastic experience!

小3.6年と夫が参加しました。情報があったとおり、タオル、防寒着、酔い止め持参して、着替え場所無しでそのままバスにのりました。(ウェットレンタルはサイズ合いません)
酔いやすいのと、初めて深い海でのシュノーケルが不安でしたが、それを吹き飛ばすスタッフさんのケアにに大満足！！ハンバーガー最高と言ってました。イルカ、魚と泳げ、ザトウクジラとカメも見れました。ビデオに、イルカの声が入ってることにも感動！！滑り台、トランポリン、SUPもでき、大満喫間違い無しです！

I participated in the tour during my honeymoon.

Due to the timing, there were about 30 participants in the tour. The guide's explanations were bright, making the tour enjoyable.

Since we were informed in advance to wear swimsuits, we were able to smoothly enter the sea. It was a bit chilly because it was the rainy season, but there were warm drinks available after returning to the boat, which was a relief.

The air conditioning on the return bus was a bit strong, so I recommend changing properly after getting out of the sea.

ハネムーンで参加しました。

時期もあり、30名前後でのツアーとなりました。
ガイドの説明が明るく、つターが楽しくなりました。

事前に水着着用の連絡があったため、スムーズに海に入ることができました。
雨季ということもあり、少々海が冷たかったですが、船に戻ってから温かい飲み物もあり、助かりました。

帰りのバスが、少々エアコンがきいていたので、海に入った後は、きちんと着替えることをお勧めします。

I was glad that I could sign up at the last minute. It was really beautiful. However, I felt a bit disappointed that the day I participated was cloudy, but I was happy to be able to join.

直前に申し込み可能で助かりました。凄く綺麗だった。ただし参加した日が曇りで少し残念の気持ちがあったが、参加できて嬉しかったです。

The weather was unfortunate.
For women, wearing a bright bikini really stands out in photos. You can take beautiful pictures.
However, during snorkeling, it felt stricter than other tours, as we had to line up and those who struggled with swimming or using the mask were scolded. The visibility wasn't very good either. It's better than in Japan, though...
There were many Japanese people, and since the guide was also Japanese, it felt quite cramped, lacking the sense of openness you might expect abroad. We set sail from Niso, and the other group seemed to have more fun, possibly because they had a foreign guide. It might also depend on luck.

天気が悪く残念でした。
女性の方は明るいビキニにすると写真映えはすごいです。綺麗に撮れますよ。
しかしシュノーケルは列になって進んだり、泳ぎが苦手な方や上手くマスクが使えない方が参加してしまうと怒られていたり、他のツアーよりも厳しい気がしました。透明度もあまりよくありません。日本よりはいいですが…。
日本人が多く、ガイドも日本人だったので、割とキチキチしていて海外の開放感は望めません。二曹で出航し、もう一つの方は外国人ガイドもいたからか、楽しそうでした。運もあるかもしれませんね。

I was worried because it was the rainy season, but the water clarity was the best during the trip, and I was able to see dolphins right in front of me.

Above all, I had a great time from the bus ride there to the return trip. The staff were kind and attentive, yet had a relaxed vibe that suited us perfectly. There were many foreign tourists as well, which really made it feel like we were in Hawaii! It was truly enjoyable.

雨期ということもあり心配していましたが、海の透明度も旅の中で1番良くイルカを目の前で見ることができました。
そしてなにより、行きのバスから帰りまで、ずっと楽しかったです。
スタッフさんが優しいし、丁寧なのに、ある程度ゆるい感じが私達にはぴったりでした。他のツアー客も外国人が多く、ハワイに来てる！って感じで本当に楽しかったです。

I couldn't see the dolphins, and although I was supposed to eat a hamburger on the boat, there weren't enough, so I ended up eating at the port after getting off the boat. We didn't have many photos of ourselves from the purchase, and I felt like I missed out.

イルカには会えず、船上でハンバーガーを食べれることになっていましたが、数がたりないということで、船をおりてから港で食べました。購入した写真も自分たちの写真はあまりなく、損した気分になりました。

I participated in a long-awaited tour to swim with dolphins during my trip to Hawaii. I have snorkeled a few times before, but swimming with wild dolphins was a first for me, and it was truly moving.

The weather was nice, but since it was February, it was a bit cold even with a rented wetsuit. I think it's a good idea to prepare for warmth and take motion sickness medication.

On this tour, I was lucky enough to see not only dolphins but also whales and sea turtles. The staff on the boat made it really fun with music and hula dance shows, so I had a great time. It became a wonderful memory of my time in Hawaii!

I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

今回のハワイ旅行で念願のイルカと泳ぐツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングは今までに何度かしたことはありますが、野生のイルカと泳ぐのは初めてだったので、とても感動しました。
天気は良かったですが、2月だったのでウエットスーツをレンタルしても少し寒かったです。
防寒と酔い止め対策は確りとしておいたほうが良いと思います。
今回のツアーでは運良くイルカだけでなく、クジラやウミガメも見ることができたし、船の中では音楽やフラダンスのショーでスタッフの方々が楽しく盛り上げてくれたので本当に楽しかったです。ハワイでの良い思い出になりました‼
次にハワイへ来るときも是非参加したいと思います。

This time we went with a group of friends, and had a wonderful day - everybody truly enjoyed themselves. We will book again next time in Honolulu. Recommended!!!

This was our second time on the Holokai Catamaran, and again we had a fabulous day. Great crew! We would book again!!!

It was a tour of about two and a half hours. There were explanations about whales in Japanese, and we were able to see whales as well. Since there is a meal included, I think you can enjoy it while taking breaks.

約２時間半ほどのツアーでした。
日本語でのクジラの説明等もありながら、クジラも見ることができました。
食事もあるので、休憩しながら楽しめると思います。

All was good, only thing that could improve is the lunch. Spend at least $10 per person on lunch
