All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

On the day we participated, it was cloudy with some wind and a bit chilly until we boarded the boat and headed out to sea. However, by the time we reached the sandbar, the sun was shining, and we had a great time swimming. The water level was deep enough to reach our waists and shallow enough to reach our knees. There were no areas where the sandy beach was visible. The brunch on the boat was very delicious, and we were able to relax. The photos taken can be downloaded with a password after returning home, but I'm embarrassed because the swimsuit photos will be visible to other participants.

参加した日は、船に乗って沖へ進むまで、曇りで風もあり、少し寒かったのですが、サンドバーに着いた頃には日も射して、泳ぐこともでき楽しかったです。
水位は深くて腰、浅くて膝、くらいでした。砂浜が現れているところはありませんでした。
船上でのブランチはとても美味しく、のんびり過ごせました。
撮ってくれた写真が、帰国してからパスワードでダウンロードできるのですが、水着の写真が他の参加者にも丸見えになるので、はずかしいです。

Wonderful experience. Disappointed that we didn't get to go on memorial due to maintenance but overall loved it. Bus driver should get a raise. My favorite part of whole week there was listening to her talk about the culture and her family. Loved it.

The shuttle service was on time and the check-in was quick. The wave pool was not functioning properly, so we were able to play park golf for free. I would like to use this service again next year.

送迎・・・時間通りで受け付けも迅速でした。
プール・・・波のプールの調子が悪いということで、パークゴルフを無料でプレーできました。
また来年も利用したいです。

The tour was excellent! Our driver Michael was very knowledgeable and pointed out plenty of landmarks. Adequate time was allotted for each part of the tour. Highly recommended!!

If you're going to Oahu, you definitely want to visit the sandbar! There were various tour companies, but I made a reservation here after seeing the good reviews. I read in the reviews that the bus could be cold, so I wore a long-sleeve hoodie, and it was just right! The sea was about knee-deep since I checked the interference time for that day. It seems it wasn't the time of year when you could see the sand, but I was very satisfied with this! However, it was a bit windy, so the sandbar might be a little chilly for the ladies. After that, I got to eat a hamburger, and it was so delicious! They grilled the patty for you, and you could add your favorite toppings to make your burger! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but it was tasty! I also got to see sea turtles during the watching session and took some great photos! The tour guide was super funny, and it turned out to be more than I expected! During the last snorkeling session, we moved to a spot with deeper coral. They explained everything carefully, and even though I’m quite scared, I was able to swim with the beautiful fish in the sea. After getting out of the water early, there was a lovely warm drink service, which was great! I was able to chat and bond with the other participants, and I'm really glad I joined! The tour guide was fun and a great person! Mahalo! It was a bit cold, but definitely worth swimming!

オアフ島に行くならサンドバーに行きたい！と思い、いろんなツアー会社がありましたが、口コミが良いのを見てこちらで予約しました。口コミにバスの中が寒いと書いてあったので、長袖のパーカーを羽織っていきましたが、ちょうど良かったです！海はその日の干渉時間を調べて行ったので、膝下くらい。砂が見えるところまではいかない時期だったらしいので、これで大満足♡でも風がありちょっとサンドバーは女子には寒いかも？そのあとハンバーガーを食べさせてもらったのですが、それが美味しすぎ！ハンバーグを焼いてくれていて、好きな具を挟んでハンバーガーに！正直期待していなかったのですが、美味しかった！ウミガメウォッチングでもばっちし見れて写真も撮れました！添乗員の方がすっごく面白くて思っていた以上のツアーになりました！最後のシュノーケリングでは、少し深い珊瑚のある所へ移動します。丁寧に説明もしてくださり、すごく怖がりの私も海の素敵な魚とたくさん泳ぐことができました。
早めに海から上がると嬉しい暖かいドリンクサービスがありました♡
他の参加者の方とも仲良くお話出来て、本当に参加して良かった！添乗員の方がみんな楽しく良い人でした！mahalo！
少し寒いですが、泳ぐ価値あり！

Was a totally awesome experience and Pilot Jeanette was great as well. Loved it.

When we departed, the weather was bad and very cold, but we were able to see sea turtles from the boat. By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had improved, and we enjoyed beautiful scenery. Since the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, it's good to have a light jacket. Although it was a short tour, we had ample time for snorkeling and taking photos, and we were able to return to the hotel for lunch, making effective use of our time. The staff were very high-energy, which made it enjoyable.

出発のときは天気が悪くてとても寒かったですが、ウミガメを船の上から見れて、サンドバーに着く頃は天気も回復し、きれいな景色を堪能できました。ハワイは天気が変わりやすいので羽織ものがあるといいですね。短いツアーですがシュノーケリングの時間、写真撮影の時間をしっかり取ってもらえた上にランチタイムにはホテルに帰ってこられたので時間を有効活用できました。スタッフの方がとてもハイテンションで楽しめました。

There were two boats, one for Japanese speakers and one for English speakers. Since there were many Japanese participants, we boarded the English-speaking boat. The sea was very clear and beautiful. We could see swimming sea turtles from the boat, and we encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling and were able to swim together. It was much larger than I had imagined from the boat. The sandbar also had water at knee height, so we enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately, there were many Korean tourists on the English-speaking boat who did not understand English, leading to several instances of poor etiquette, such as standing on the coral while snorkeling. If there are many Koreans on board, it might be better to provide the rules in Korean as well.

船２隻で日本語と英語の分かれ、参加日は日本人が多かったので、私たちは英語の船に乗り込みました。海はとてもクリアで綺麗でした。船からも泳ぐウミガメが見れましたが、シュノーケルのときにウミガメに遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。船から見て想像していたよりもとても大きかったです。サンドバーも膝下位の水位だったので、堪能できました。残念なことは、韓国人の観光客も多く、英語の船に乗っていましたが、英語を理解できていなかったので、シュノーケルの際に珊瑚の上に立ったりとマナー違反が多数ありました。韓国人も多く乗船するのならば、韓国語でルール等を記載したほうが良いのでは？

Henry was an awesome tour guide. The circle island tour was fantastic. All the activities at the Polynesian Cultural Cdnter were fantastic including the luau and night show.

Maita'i Catamaran is an easy cheap way to enjoy a short sail off the coast of Waikiki. Their location is walkable from just about anywhere in Waikiki (which is only about 1.5 miles from east to west), and my family did a quick 90 minute sail. They allow 0-3 year olds on for free, so for my wife and son and I it was a real bargain.

Most boating trips pad your cost by including free booze (which can make you seasick, or might have disappointingly little effect if you are from higher altitudes), so I was glad to see it sold a la carte here (quite cheaply).

Crew was friendly and approachable, and we got to be on a boat in paradise. They use their motor to get to and from shore efficiently, but most of the time the motor is off and they are just sailing, which is ideal. We saw a dolphin and 2 sea turtles too.

I just feel bad that between making sure my 3-year old got off safely and remembering all of our things I totally forgot to tip them. Hopefully this review will help. Book them now!

Great and terribly convenient to get picked up on time, oriented to the experience and put your head under the water to see lots of fish...our driver Kevin was informative, on time and was great conversation for our family group of 8. Would go back any day any time...

I liked the interior of the boat and the dining room was very elegant. Our photographer took our picture and we started the cruise off with a drink. They have excellent virgin lava flows and coffee! The boat was swaying to the nice jazzy tunes of the singer. I enjoyed the variety of songs and the musician was a talented ukulele and guitar player. Our waiter was attentive and they placed lightly sweetened iced tea and water in carafes at the table. Sodas and juices are complimentary but you have to order them from the waiter. I liked the salad, teriyaki chicken, cut fruit, and the coconut cake. They have an observation deck that is fantastic so be sure to bring your camera. Overall the cruise is a good value for the price and I recommend going especially on Friday nights to see the fireworks!

Great crew. Great fun and great day! Thank you. Highly recommend. Would do again.

I checked the low tide times in advance and made a reservation. The weather was bad, but the water was really at about ankle height. I was able to see sea turtles up close, and I could go snorkeling as well. The staff were all nice people, and it was a lot of fun.

事前に干潮時間を調べて予約しました。
天気は悪かったけど、本当に海がくるぶしぐらいのとこになっていました。
ウミガメも間直で見られたし、シュノーケリングもできたし、スタッフはみんな良い人で楽しかったです。

It was amazing definitely a must see show the culture was amazing and great to see

The waves were not good, so I was able to switch from bodyboarding to FlowRider, but since it's done one person at a time, there is a bit of tension. If it's your first time, it might require extra skill. This time, there wasn't much of a line, but during the busy season, I've heard that 300 Japanese people come, so it might be better to prepare for waiting times during the summer vacation season to avoid frustration. There are many uphill paths and stairs, so flip-flops are hard to walk in, and I felt sorry for the foreigners whose toes were hurting. Going barefoot is out of the question. So, shoes are definitely recommended! The lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. There are showers in the restrooms. Changing is allowed. The jacuzzi is unsanitary.

波の調子が悪いとボディボード➡︎フローライダーに変更してもらえましたが、1人ずつ行うのでまあまあ緊張感あります。初めてだと余計センスが問われるかも。。今回はあまり並ぶ事も少なかったけどbusy seasonだと日本人だけで300人来るとの事なので、夏休みseasonは並ぶ時間を踏まえ覚悟してた方がイライラしないかも。登り坂、階段多いので、ビーサンは歩きにくいし、親指痛くなってる外人が可哀想でした。裸足はもってのほか。なので絶対シューズタイプがオススメ！ロッカーは何度でも開閉可。トイレにシャワー完備。着替え可。
ジャグジーは不衛生。

This is my second time boarding. It's worth it just to go out to sea at a reasonable price and see the indescribably beautiful cobalt blue ocean. Of course, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from offshore is fantastic. Additionally, it's very convenient to board from the beach next to Sheraton Waikiki Resort.

二回目の乗船になります。リーズナブルな価格で沖へ出て、なんとも表現できないコバルトブルーの美しい海を見るだけでも、十分価値があります。もちろん、沖からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めは最高です。また、シェラトンワイキキリゾート横のビーチから乗船できるのでとても便利です。

Excellent Day, would have liked some more rugged OFF Road parts on trip

The shuttle driver was an expert at driving on tricky roads. It was great having water and a walking stick provided. And of course the scenery and waterfall were breathtaking.

I read the reviews and thought, "This is it!" so I decided to participate. Just like the reviews mentioned, I rented a bike and first went to Kailua town to order pancakes to-go from Boots & Kimo's. During the 30-minute wait, I went to buy some Lanikai soap, then returned to the shop to have lunch with pizza and took a boogie board to the beach. After that, I went back to the shop, grabbed a snorkeling set, and rode my bike to Lanikai Beach. However, traveling with just two women, the boogie board was heavy, and even though I put on the snorkeling gear at Lanikai, I couldn't make it to the rocky areas and didn't get to see any fish. I regretted not just going to the middle of Lanikai Beach instead, so I give it four stars.

I was in a hurry, so I forgot to put on sunscreen when going to town, and I ended up with a bad t-shirt tan (-_-;)

口コミを見て、これだ！を思い参加しましたが、口コミと同じ様に自転車を借り、まずカイルアの街へ行きブーツアンドキモスのパンケーキをテイクアウトで注文し、３０分の待ち時間にラニカイの石鹸を買いに行き、ショップに戻ってランチのピザと、ブギーボードを持ってビーチに行って、その後ショップに戻って、シュノーケルセットを持って自転車でラニカイビーチに行きました。。。。が、女二人の旅では、ブギーボードは重く、ラニカイでシュノーケルのを着けるも岩場までは行く事も出来ず、魚を見る事は出来ませんでした。シュノーケルは諦めて、ラニカイビーチの中央あたりまで行けば良かったと後悔が残りましたので、星4つです。
慌てていたので、街に行く時に日焼け止めを塗り忘れてしまい、しっかりＴシャツ焼けしてしまいました(-_-;)

This was my first trip to Hawaii. I learned that Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach have been chosen as the number one beautiful beach in the United States, and I really wanted to go there. However, it was quite a distance from Waikiki where I was staying, so I used this tour. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I decided not to rent a car or use THE BUS, and I was glad I chose this tour, which took care of the round-trip transportation!

I was able to rent a bike on-site for a fee, so I quickly rented one and headed to Kailua Beach first. The waves were higher than I expected, and the water seemed a bit murky, so I soon made my way to Lanikai Beach! The distance from Kailua to Lanikai was greater than I thought, so having a bike was definitely a plus.

Lanikai Beach had almost no waves, and the water was incredibly clear and beautiful! When I put on the snorkel I rented and went into the water... there were so many cute little fish! It was actually my first time snorkeling, but the calm, shallow water made it easy to enjoy.

After snorkeling, I got hungry, so I rode my bike to Kailua Town! I used a lunch ticket to go to a salad shop. I thought I would be having a salad, but it turned out to be a hearty sandwich. It was delicious, though!

Feeling satisfied, I then headed to Whole Foods Market! I bought granola bars and bulk granola with fruit for breakfast the next day. For those who want to be active, having a bike is definitely recommended!

今回、初めてのハワイ旅行でした。
カイルアビーチ・ラニカイビーチが全米ナンバーワンに選ばれた事のある美しいビーチだと知って、是非行きたいと思ったのですが、宿泊しているワイキキからは結構距離があり、こちらのツアーを利用しました。
初めてのハワイという事で、レンタカーやTHE BUSの利用はせず、往復の交通への心配がないこちらのツアーにして良かったです！
現地で有料で自転車を借りられるということで、迷わず借り、まずはカイルアビーチへ。思ったより波が高くて少し海が濁っているように感じたので、程なくしてラニカイビーチへ！
カイルアからラニカイへは、思ったより距離があったので自転車があって良かったです。
ラニカイビーチは波がほとんど無くて、その分透明度が高くて本当に綺麗‼︎ お借りしたシュノーケルをつけて海に潜ったら…可愛らしいお魚がたくさん‼︎
実は初めてのシュノーケルだったのですが、浅くて波のない穏やかな海だったので安心して楽しめました。
シュノーケルを楽しんだ後は、お腹が減ってきたので自転車でカイルアタウンへ！ランチチケットを利用してサラダのお店へ行きました。てっきりサラダを食べられると思っていたら、ヴォリューム満点のサンドイッチでした。笑 でも、美味しかったです。
お腹も満たされたので、今度はWhole Foods Marketへ！翌日の朝食用にグラノーラバーで、量り売りのグラノーラとフルーツを買いました。
アクティブに動きたい人には、自転車があった方が断然オススメです。

The guide's talk and service were great, and I was very satisfied with the abundant content. The freshly made hamburger and the warm hot chocolate were both delicious and a nice treat for my chilled body. But above all, swimming with the turtles was the best!

ガイドさんのトークもサービスも良かったし、盛りだくさんの内容で大満足でした。焼きたてのハンバーガーも、冷えた身体に嬉しい温かいホットチョコレートも、美味しかったです。でもなんといってもカメと泳げた事がサイコーでした。

The sandbar is a place where a white beach appears due to the ebb and flow of the tide, so it's important to check the low and high tides in advance. On the day I participated, I chose a perfect day after checking beforehand, and the water was only up to my ankles, making it very beautiful. According to a friend who had been there before, the water was up to their waist, and they couldn't see the typical white beach at all. Therefore, it's crucial to research the timing in advance. The tour itself was enjoyable, as there was a guide who spoke Japanese and shared various stories.

サンドバーは潮の満ち引きにより白浜が出現する場所なので、事前に干潮満潮を調べる事が重要です。
私が参加した日は、事前に調べておいてばっちりな日を選んだので、足首の辺りまで海水があるくらいでとてもキレイでした。以前に行った事がある友人の話を聞くと、腰の辺りまで海水があり、よく見るような白浜は全然見れなかったようです。なので、時期を事前に調べる事が重要だとおまいました。
ツアー自体は、日本語が話せるガイドさんもいて色んなはなしもしてくれたのでとても楽しめました。

My husband decided we needed an excursion to the big Island to see the volcano. Did a helicopter tour and day trip. Everything was organized, convenient and no stress. Thank you.

The day we went, unfortunately, the sky was cloudy and the color of the sea wasn't great, but it gradually cleared up while we were snorkeling. A turtle also came by, which made us very happy. The crew members were all friendly and fun people. Next time, I want to try again on a nice sunny day.

私たちが行った日は、あいにくの曇り空で海の色はイマイチでしたが、シュノーケリングをした時にはだんだん晴れてきました。カメさんも寄ってきてくれて、大満足です。クルーさん達も皆さんが気さくで楽しい人たちばかりでした。今度はまた、天気の良い日に挑戦してみたいです。

I attended alone because my daughter is pregnant. The weather was cloudy, and unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar as shown in the photos, but we enjoyed snorkeling and had a great time. I recommend bringing something to wear because it gets cold when you get back on the boat.

娘が妊娠中のため、一人で参加させていただきました。
天気が曇りで、残念ながら写真のようなサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、シュノーケリングをしたり、楽しみました。
船に上がった際はさむくなるので、羽織るものを持っていくことをお勧めします。

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful. The white sand stretched on endlessly, and the water was only knee-deep, making it very comfortable. Initially, it felt like we could do anything, like banana boating or beach volleyball, but in the end, only a few people played beach volleyball. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on the spot, so they were delicious. We moved on to the next spot, but I wasn't able to see any sea turtles. Instead, I saw other beautiful tropical fish. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit unstable, and the water was slightly murky, which made me too scared to dive.

サンドバーはすごく綺麗でした。
白い砂がずーっと続いていて海水も膝ぐらいしかなくとても快適でした。最初の説明ではバナナボートやビーチバレー何でもどうぞという感じでしたが結果ビーチバレーを一部の方だけでしていました。
お昼のハンバーガーはその場で焼いて作ってくれましたので美味しかったです。
次のポイントに行きましたが私はウミガメは見れませんでした。その代わり他の熱帯魚のような綺麗な魚が見れました。ちょっと天候も安定してなかったせいか海も少しにごっていて潜るのが怖くて潜れなかったのが、残念です。

I practiced snorkeling and took photos at the sandbar, ate a hamburger, and went turtle watching, then snorkeled around the coral. There were many turtles at my feet! It was fun!

サンドバーでシュノーケルの練習や写真撮影などし、ハンバーガー食べてウミガメウォッチングした後サンゴの周りでシュノーケル^_^
足元にウミガメが沢山いました！
楽しかったです！

The activity was well worth the price as my nephew is a history buff an enjoyed the tour.. There was just one problem, two of the elevators were down on the USS Missouri and my nephew was on crutches and he could not cover the whole ship. My nephew still happy and enjoyed the tour guides knowledge.

This is one activity NEVER come to Wakiki and DO NOT GO TO. Even though we could not board the USS Arizona due to construction We got to go out in Nave vessels close as we could and being a veteran of Vietnam era I find it extremely touching each time I encounter this attraction. In 6 trips I have 6 visits.
