All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

Enjoyed it very much. Saw several sea turtles and were given a nice catamaran cruise. Well organized and led.

Whether the sand appears on land depends on the timing and the state of the low tide that day, so whether you can see a scene like the one in the photo is a matter of luck. During our visit, it was after the peak of low tide in the afternoon, and the water was up to our shins, so it wasn't the sandbar like in the photo, but it was still very beautiful and satisfying.

I recommend seeing a sandbar at least once when you come to Hawaii.

砂が陸に出てくるかどうかは時期やその日の引き潮の状態次第なので、写真のような光景が見れるかどうかは運次第です。私たちの時は、引き潮のピークが過ぎた午後からで、スネあたりまでは水に浸かり、写真のようなサンドバーではなかったですが、それでも大変綺麗で満足しました。
ハワイに来たらサンドバーは一度は見ることをお勧めします。

The guys running the catamaran were friendly and fun, and the cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing (once you get used to the movement of the boat). Was very easy to chat with other people and make friends on the boat. If I ever get back to Waikiki, I'll absolutely be on the Holokai again! Thanks for a fun time!

The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!

I watched this show when it first opened with another friend, and it seemed that some of the cast had changed, but I still enjoyed it. The friends I traveled with this time were visiting Hawaii for the first time and said they were happy and had a great time.

このショーが オープニングしたばかりの時にも 別の友人と見ましたが
出演者？も 多少入れ替わったようでしたが 変わらず楽しめました。
今回 同行した友人達は ハワイ初めてで 喜んで 楽しかったと言っていました。

I borrowed a bike and rode south to the farthest part of the beach. It was secluded from everyone which made time more enjoyable. Less noise, more ocean. I snorkeled most of the day and relaxed. Again, very enjoyable.
However, the business and its employees is different story. They were wonderful, helpful, attentive, whatever other synonym out there that reflects on how a business should be.

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. It was a morning-only tour, but I didn't feel that the time was too short. In fact, it was great to have a focused experience and make good use of the afternoon. The guide was entertaining, and the crew members were very kind.

The sandbar itself appeared up to my ankles, so I was very satisfied with that. I was able to take some great photos. The snorkeling gear was in good condition, and the life jacket was easy to use. I also brought a rash guard and a beach towel for warmth.

If I had known how good this was, I would have experienced a sandbar tour much earlier. I definitely want to participate again next time.

数回ハワイに行っていますが、サンドバーのツアーには初めて参加しました。
午前中のみのツアーでしたが特に時間が短いとは感じませんでした。むしろ短期集中で午後を有効活用できて良かったです。
ガイドさんのしゃべりも面白くクルーの皆さんも大変親切でした。
肝心のサンドバーはくるぶしくらいまで出現してくれましたので、こちらも大満足です。
良い写真も撮れました。
シュノーケリングセットも状態が良く、ライフジャケットも使いやすかったです。
寒さ対策でラッシュガードとビーチタオルも持参しました。
こんなに良いものならもっと早くサンドバーのツアーを経験しておけば良かったです。
次回も是非参加したいと思います。

Good food, had all you can eat crab leg and steak. Great music and entertainment. Perfect sunset and view of the city. Well worth money. I would do it again

This was my first time participating in the tour. I checked the weather and tide conditions in advance to choose the date, but I was too optimistic. On the day, it was cloudy and quite cold for mid-May! For those deciding on a date in the future, it's definitely better to check the forecast specifically for Kaneohe, as the weather can be quite different from Honolulu.

To be strict, I think the tour organizers should limit the dates to sunny days and when the sandbar is accessible (knee-deep) to ensure higher satisfaction. As it stands now, the photos and reality are too different, and I believe participants may feel dissatisfied. Even if it's difficult to limit the dates, it would be good to include photos from cloudy days and provide clearer information about what to expect on days with bad weather.

● Customer Service
Everyone was very good. They were friendly and approachable.

● Sandbar
It doesn't look beautiful when it's cloudy, and it appears murky. It's also cold even in May.

● Snorkeling
It was cold, but once I got used to it, it was fun.

● Food
We had hamburgers, fries, stewed beans, pineapple, and drinks. The taste was just okay. The lemonade I chose honestly wasn't very good! I thought the hot drink after coming out of the sea was a very nice service!

● Restrooms
There were two on the boat.

That's all. Thank you.

今回初めてツアーに参加させて頂きました。天気と潮の満ち干きは事前に調べて日を選んだのですが、甘かったです。当日、曇りで5月半ばでしたが寒かった！
これから日取りを決める方は、予報は必ずカネオヘで調べたほうがいいです。ホノルルとカネオヘでは随分と天気が違うからです。
厳しく言うなら、ツアー企画側も、天気が晴れの日とサンドバーが出る時期（膝より下）で日取りを限定すると、高い満足度になるのではないでしょうか。今のままでは写真と現実が違いすぎて参加されたお客様は不満だと思います。
日の限定は難しくても、曇りの日の写真を載せておく、もう少し、天候の悪い日の事を詳しくわかりやすく書いておくと良いかなと思います。

●接客
みなさんとてもよかったです。フレンドリーで、気さくな方ばかりでした。

●サンドバー
曇りだと綺麗に見えないし、濁って見えます。また5月頃でも寒いです。

●スノーケル
寒かったですが、慣れると楽しかったです。

●食事
ハンバーガー、ポテト、お豆の煮込んだもの、パイナップルとドリンクでした。味はまあまあでした。チョイスしたレモネードは正直あまり美味しくなかったです！海から上がった後のホットドリンクはとても良いサービスだと思いました！

●トイレ 船に二カ所ついていました。

以上です。ありがとうございました。

The crew is absolutely great and a very friendly bunch! Highly recommended!

I thought I absolutely had to join the Heaven's Sea tour, and it was definitely the right choice. I got to see turtles, and snorkeling was fun too. The BBQ was delicious!

天国の海は絶対外せないと思い参加しましたが大正解でした。亀も見れましたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。BBQも美味しかったですよ。

We had an excellent time here. We were picked up via motorcoach in Waikiki at 10:20 am. Our bus driver was hilarious and kept us entertained the hour we were on the bus. Beautiful drive there. We arrived at the center at 1145 and the center opened at 12. I would highly recommend a tour guide! There was SO much to do and see and I feel we didn't get to see even 1/2 of it all due to the center being so big and the small events starting at different times. The Ohana Hawaiian luau dinner was delicious! Pig, pulled pork, teriyaki chicken breasts, fresh fruit, poke, salads, fish, desserts, and so much more! The show during dinner was great as well. Ha, the breath of life is worth every penny! We got back to Waikiki around 11pm. It was a very full but very fun day!

I participated in this tour seeking snorkeling and beautiful seas.

The shuttle bus is quite cold, so a jacket is a must. Having a Japanese crew made me feel at ease.

First, we had free time at the sandbar. There was optional beach volleyball, and I enjoyed playing volleyball with people from various countries whom I had just met. Those who couldn't join in could just take photos, so there might be some extra time.

During lunchtime, we had cheese burgers made with grilled meat by the crew on the boat (while docked). Enjoying lunch while listening to the crew's casual guitar and singing created a uniquely Hawaiian atmosphere!

I almost got seasick during the sea turtle watching.

For snorkeling, they took care to ensure that even beginners would be fine. They provided plenty of time, and those who were satisfied could wait on the boat. It was quite cold from this point on, so I think having a T-shirt or long sleeves that you don't mind getting wet would be good.

シュノーケリングと綺麗な海を求めて参加しました。

送迎バスはかなり寒いので上着必須です。
日本語クルーが付いてくれ、安心できます。

まずサンドバーでフリータイム。自由参加のビーチバレーがあり、多国籍・初対面の方々とバレーボールを楽しみました。自分から参加できない方は写真を撮るだけなので時間が余りそうです。

ランチタイムは船(停泊中)の上でクルーの焼いたお肉のチーズバーガー。クルーの気ままなギター&歌を聴きながらのランチはハワイならでは！という雰囲気で楽しめます。

海ガメウォッチングが一番船酔いしかけました。

シュノーケリングは、初心者でも大丈夫なように配慮してくれてます。時間はたっぷり取ってくれており、途中で満足した方は船で待機もできます。
ここからが基本寒かったので、濡れても良いTシャツや長袖があると良いと思います。

After looking at other reviews and some deliberation, I decided to go with this tour, and I was extremely satisfied!!

Since the entire tour is in English, it might be tough for those who only speak Japanese. We participated because we were abroad and wanted to experience it. There’s a lot of fun that can be conveyed through the atmosphere, so if you’re okay with not understanding every detail, it’s totally fine!

The bus guide was very good at keeping the energy up, and even when I couldn’t catch everything, I understood the vibe.

Once we arrived, there was a brief explanation of the food and drinks, and then we headed to the venue. The venue was outdoors, and it got a bit chilly as the sun went down, so I was glad I brought a light jacket.

There were optional activities and craft corners in Hawaii, and after a little while, the main event started! There was a whole pig roast performance, but I couldn’t get close enough to see it well. The buffet-style food included Hawaiian dishes and cakes, and it was delicious.

The show featured various performances, including hula and fire dancing, so it was never boring. There were also performances that involved bringing audience members on stage, which made it even more exciting. By the way, we were on our honeymoon, and there was a wonderful surprise during the stage performance that truly made us happy. If you’re on your honeymoon or celebrating an anniversary, I highly recommend it!

Overall, I was very satisfied, so I gave it five stars, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this is only for those who are okay with the entire tour being in English.

他の口コミも見つつ、悩んだ末にこのツアーにしましたが、大満足でした！！

基本的に全編英語の為、日本語じゃないと…という方には辛いかもしれません。私たちは折角海外なので…と参加しました。雰囲気で伝わってくる楽しさもありますし、細部まで分からなくても大丈夫という方なら全然ok！

バスガイドさんの盛り上げ方もとても上手で、聞き取れない時も雰囲気で分かりました。

着いたら簡単なご飯とドリンクの説明があり、会場へ。会場は屋外で、日が暮れると少し肌寒く羽織りを持っていて正解でした。

自由参加のハワイの遊びやクラフトコーナーがあり、少ししてから本編スタート！豚の丸焼きパフォーマンスがありましたが、前の方に行けずあまり見えませんでした。
バイキング形式のご飯ではハワイならではの料理やケーキもあり、美味しかったです。

ショーはフラからファイヤーダンス等色々で、飽きません。観客を舞台に上げてのパフォーマンスもあり、さらに盛り上がりました。
ちなみに私たちはハネムーンでしたが、このステージパフォーマンスで素敵なサプライズがあり、本当に嬉しかったです。ハネムーン、記念日の方は是非！

全体を通して、とても大満足でしたので星5つにしましたが、初めに書いた通り、前提として全編英語でも問題無い方に限ります。

I had a great time. However, due to the nearby mountains, we encountered unstable weather, and the trade winds were strong, making it too cold after being in the water. On the return bus, I had to wipe my body and lay a wet towel on the seat, and the air conditioning was too strong, making me feel very cold. Even though I couldn't change, I should have brought a towel jacket or socks to keep my ankles warm.

It seems better to check the shallow times before deciding on the sandbar. We encountered a day where the water was about ankle-deep, but the staff mentioned that it’s rare for it to become completely island-like.

As a side note, the staff were cheerful and kindly took photos for us, which was very helpful. I recommend it. Mahalo!

とても楽しめました。
ただ、山が近い事もありお天気が不安定な日に当たってしまい、貿易風も強く海に浸かった後が寒過ぎました。
帰りのバスでは身体を拭いて濡れたタオルを座席に敷いて帰らざるを得ないところに来て、エアコンが効き過ぎ身体が冷えまくりました。
着替えられなくとも、タオル地の上着や足首を温められる様に、靴下などを持ち込むべきでした。

サンドバー自体は、浅い時間を調べてから決めた方が良い様です。
私たちはくるぶし程度の場所もある様な日に当たりましたが、全くの島状態になる事は珍しいのだとスタッフの方も話してられました。

ついでの様になってしまいましたが、スタッフのみなさんもにこやかで、気さくに写真も撮ってくれたり助かりました。
おすすめです。mahalo！

By far one of the better things done while in Oahu!

Overall, I had an enriching American-style tour experience. As soon as we arrived at the sandbar, we went snorkeling and saw the fish underwater. My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, was thrilled by the colorful fish! After getting down to the sandbar, we played volleyball with a net that was set up. Chasing the ball, passing it, and applauding nice plays created an unexpected sense of camaraderie. The BBQ lunch we had when we got hungry was incredibly delicious. The staff were kind and cheerful, and there were staff members who understood Japanese, which made for a fun and truly memorable experience.

とにかく、アメリカ的で充実したツアーが体験できました。サンドバーに着くなり、シュノーケリングで海中の魚を見ました。色とりどりの魚の姿に、初めてシュノーケリングを体験した夫は大喜び！　サンドバーに降りた後、張られたネットでバレーボールをしました。ボールを追いかけてパスしたり、ナイスプレーに拍手したり、思わぬ連帯感を感じました。お腹がすいて食べたＢＢＱランチはすご～い美味しかった～。スタッフが親切で明るくて、日本語が分かるスタッフもいたので、楽しくてすごくいい思い出ができました。

Shuttle service to Hanauma Bay with inclusion of snorkelling hire + flippers. Some additional hire costs $3 for add on to snorkel deeper without water coming into snorkel. Reliable timing of pick up and drop off. Friendly staff. Booked last minute and was very happy with service.

Wow what a great show. Luau and ledgends so much fun! I highly recomend for the whole family.

Our first scheduled tour was cancelled last minute for unknown reasons, but luckily we were able to reschedule for later in our vacation.
Anyways, it was pretty fun. The jeep was closed-topped and air conditioned; fairly comfortable.
Tour guide was great; laid back and flexible.
We didn't really spend much time at the Dole plantation. We didn't go to a coffee plantation, but did stop at a macadamia shop. We didn't stop at Byodo temple. We skipped lunch, but did stop at a fruit stand. We stopped at several scenic points of interest, but as expected, a lot of the time was spent getting from place to place. We did do a small hike, which I guess I might have missed that in the description as I was unprepared..bring shoes!
Decent tour if you prefer a small group (we were paired with one other couple).

Hubby and I came to Hawaii for our 30th anniversary. Perfect way to spend our Friday night. Views were awesome as was the crew. Enjoyed the food as well.

My family and I went to this tour for the very first and we had fun with our experience. We were able to visit one of this historical sites in Hawaii but also our tour guide named Cody was a very jolly person and entertained us while we are on the bus. I would recommend this tour to my other families and friends as well. :)

I had an amazing time!
I really recommend it (ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)੭✧
I want to go again (♡´ ˘ `♡)
Next time, I hope it's sunny (∩´∀`∩)

めちゃめちゃ楽しかった！
ほんとオススメです(ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)੭✧
またいきたーい(♡´ ˘ `♡)
次は晴れてるときに(∩´∀`∩)

Such a great day out on the boat with the friendly staff. The cocktails were thoroughly enjoyed and the views were incredible. Amazing!
Thanks Ryan and Dave !!

The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but it was very beautiful. The water was up to my waist, and I was truly moved by the scenery that can only be seen in Hawaii! The staff were all friendly, and the cheeseburger was delicious. It was a bit cold on the way back, but I had a great time. Thank you very much.

曇り時々晴れの天気ですがとても綺麗でした。
海面は腰位までありましたが、やはりハワイでないとみられない景色に感動です！！
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーでチーズバーガーも美味しかった。
帰りはちょっと寒かったけどとても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

This is my eighth trip to Hawaii, but this was my first time using this service. I signed up thinking it would be a light sailing experience, but it was even more enjoyable than I imagined. First, we went out to sea with the engine, and after turning it off, we raised the yacht's canopy and sailed using only the wind. It was surprisingly fast and refreshing. The original cocktail made by the staff was also quite delicious. My colleague who joined me was thrilled, and it has become a tour we will definitely repeat. If I go again next year, I would love to participate.

ハワイ旅行は８回目ですが、今回初めて利用させてもらいました。軽いセーリング気分で申し込んだのですが、想像以上に楽しめました。まずエンジン駆動で沖まで出て、エンジンを切ったあとヨットの幌を上げて風のみで航行するのですが、思った以上にスピード感もあり、爽快です。スタッフさんが作ってくれたオリジナルカクテルも中々おいしかったです。一緒に参加した同僚も感激しており、リピート確定ツアーになりました。また来年行くことがあれば、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

We had a great time at the cultural center and love all the upgrades they have done. Our last visit was 6 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the most amazing host ever had just returned 6 months ago, we all remembered her from our first visit. I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong). The show was amazing as well... I definitely recommend the full guided tour for a full day of fun rain or shine.

I boarded the ship alone while my wife saw me off (laughs). The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was incredibly beautiful and moving. I want to go again soon!

一人で乗船、家内は見送り(笑)海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは大変美しく感動しました。また直ぐにでも乗りたいです‼

The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.

Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.

After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)

The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!

サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。

それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。

濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です！(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)

ボートの上で食べるハンバーガーは美味しかったです！

I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.

But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.

Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.

添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。

そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。

まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。
