All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The instructor was very energetic and made it a lot of fun! It was unfortunate that the temperature was low and it rained the whole time, but I was super excited to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling! I was also able to watch it swim, and the barbecue for lunch was delicious♡ I want to try again on a nice day!!

インストラクターの方がテンション高くて、たくさん楽しませてくれました！
気温が低くて、ずっと雨が降っていたのが残念だったけど、シュノーケルのときに海ガメを生で見る事が出来て大興奮！泳いでる様子もウォッチングできて、おひるのバーベキューも美味しかったです♡
天気の良い日にリベンジしたい！！

I've been on this tour many times. This early morning cruise did not have activities. Normally there is lei making, hula dancing and ukulele lessons.

Whales are hit or miss. I've seen some fantastic activity from this cruise!

Recommended for all, but be warned the morning cruise will not have the additional activities.

My mom and I are seasoned travelers to Hawaii. We enjoy whale watching but this was our first time on this Waikiki Whale Watch Sail.

Our driver picked us up on time and was courteous and professional.

We sailed on the Honi Olani. It is a 45 passenger boat but for our tour there were only a dozen or so guests. We were given safety instructions and then we headed out to search for whales!

Captain Chad seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about the humpback whales and their patterns. He knew how long they would be down and which direction they were headed.

We spotted 2 whales and stayed with them most of the tour. The whales dive down and then come back up every so often for air. We saw the other large whale watching boats but we were closer than them and able to turn quicker and get to the whales when they popped back up.

We also saw green sea turtles, spinner dolphins and flying fish.

The boat has bathrooms on board and snacks were provided. There was fresh orange and apple, chex mix and granola bars. There is a covered area in case of inclement weather. The drinks were free for sodas and $1 or $2 for alcohol.

The crew was great. Chad, Jacob and Chad were more than happy to talk to you about the beautiful Hawaiian Islands and all they have to offer.

Our tour lasted a few minutes longer than expected because we came upon the pod of spinner dolphins. Nobody on board had conflicting plans so we were able to prolong the tour a bit.

Upon arrival to Waikiki our drive was able to drop us at a different location to do some shopping! It wasn't far from our hotel yet it saved our tired feet and legs.

I do recommend this tour to others. It would be great for any age. There were senior and young children alike on our sail. The little ones enjoyed the nets in the front of the boat. And the seniors were able to sit in the covered area to rest. I'll definitely be going out on the boat again on my next visit to Waikiki.

I've been to Oahu many times. This trip is a must. Snorkeling with the green sea turtles is amazing! They pop up right under you and you have to back up a bit. There is nothing quite like being one with nature.

I would recommend this to any age group.

This is a tour where you can experience the much-talked-about sandbar. The itinerary includes hotel → port → turtle watching → sandbar → snorkeling → lunch.

Even though I can't swim at all, I was able to fully enjoy the benefits of the life jacket on this tour. After swimming for a while, we had a simple meal on the boat, and the sandwiches were surprisingly delicious.

While snorkeling with tropical fish, kicking your legs is strictly prohibited. Not only does it stir up sand and make visibility poor, but it also cruelly kicks up the people behind you. If you don't move using just your hands, you might end up like me, with bruises on your face and injuries from your nails. For those participating, please make sure not to kick your legs!

各所で噂のサンドバー体験ができるツアーです。
ホテル→港→ウミガメウォッチ→サンドバー→シュノーケル→ランチといった流れのツアーになります。
まったく泳げない私ではありましたが、ライフジャケットの恩恵を存分に味わえるツアーでした。
ひとしきり泳いだ後の、船上での簡単な食事、サンドウィッチが食べれますが、非常に美味しく感じられました。

熱帯魚と泳ぐシュノーケルですが、バタ足は厳禁です。
砂塵が舞い見えなくなるどころか、後ろの人を無情にも蹴り上げまくります。
手だけで進まないと、私のように顔に青タンや爪による負傷者が続出します。
参加される方は、是非ともバタ足だけはしないようにしましょう。

I decided to try this popular optional tour. A sea turtle was right in front of me, and I was able to swim with it, which was a very memorable experience. The hamburger for lunch was also juicy and delicious.

人気のオプションツアーだったので頼んでみました。ウミガメがすぐ目の前にいて一緒に泳ぐことができとても思い出に残りました。ランチのハンバーガーも肉がジューシィーで美味しかったです。

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii for the first time. I was able to enjoy various slides, which was great. Unfortunately, the return bus was delayed by 45 minutes due to traffic congestion... I wish I could have played a bit longer.

初めて、ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイに行きました。
色んなスライダーを楽しむことが出来て、良かったです。
残念だったのが、帰りのバスが交通渋滞で45分も遅れたこと。。。
それなら、もう少し遊んでいたかったです。

I enjoyed the various slides! As a participant, here are a few things I noticed:
- Walking barefoot is quite hot!! But it's more efficient (laughs).
- There is free rental for floaties, but the clear floaties in the lazy river and wave pool seem to be first come, first served... Of course, you can also rent another floatie for about $10.
- The all-you-can-drink plan is great, but ordering juice takes quite a bit of time, so it's best to drink heavily when it's not crowded!
- Carrying the large floaties for the slides requires quite a bit of stamina (laughs).
If you join an optional tour, there are time constraints, so please enjoy it as efficiently as possible!

色んなスライダーが楽しめて良かったです♪
体験者として、いくつか気づいたことです。
・裸足で歩くとかなり暑い！！でも、裸足の方が効率的（笑）
・浮き輪の無料レンタルとありますが、流れるプールと波が出るプールにある透明の浮き輪は早い者勝ちのような感じです。。。もちろん10ドルくらいで、別の浮き輪を借りることも出来ます。
・飲み放題プランですが、ジュースを頼むのも結構時間がかかるので、空いてる時にガッツリ飲むのが、BEST♪
・スライダーで使う大きい浮き輪を運ぶのはかなり体力がいります（笑）
オプショナルツアーで参加すると、時間に制約があるので、なるべく効率的に楽しんでくださいね♪

This was an excellent day out for the two of us. Unfortunately I had difficulty snorkelling but was not pressured by the staff to keep trying. My boyfriend saw some amazing sights while snorkelling and snuba-ing, including a turtle (see photo). We received complimentary drinks (including alcohol) and lunch was either a chicken or pulled pork sandwich which was lovely. Cameron the snuba instructor was very nice and informative and tried his best to give us an enjoyable trip.

My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The crew were attentive, and made sure we were good at all times. I would definitely do this again. Date night!

Enjoying Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii with bus transportation included. I had a decent time. There’s a play area for small children, and although I didn’t try it, there’s a super scary roller coaster as well. However, I rented a float for a fee, but there were also free floats available, and the explanation about that was a bit unclear... Still, it was fun, so I might go again next time.

バスの送迎付きで楽しむ、ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ。
それなりに楽しみました。小さい子供用の遊び場もあるし、体験しなかったけど、超怖そうな
ジェットコースターまがいもあり。ただ、有料で浮き輪を借りたんだけど、無料の浮き輪もあり、その辺の説明がいまいち不親切で、、、。でも、楽しかったから、次も行くかも。

My entire family including my dad and sister's children really enjoyed the dinner. It was good start for our family trip in Hawaii.

This was a great beach day at Kailua Beach! We were picked up by mini van right at our hotel and taken to a small plaza containing the water sports store sponsoring the activity. The people in the store were pleasant and showed us the lockers and gave us our vouchers for the included lunch. Also included was the use of boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach is a short walk from the plaza so keep in mind that you will need to carry things with you. Towels not included so be sure to bring your own! The beach itself is gorgeous and clean with that beautiful blue iridescent water! We set up shop under a tree and were happy there all day. There are facilities at the beach. While the food places were open at 10:00 AM, we chose to wait until 12:30 to eat. We opted for the pizza and drink. The pizza was the closest to true NY style we had in Hawaii...we were very impressed! It says one slice however the slice is actually a quarter of a very large pie and they cut it in two for you so it is two good sized slices! At the end of the day we headed back to the store and turned in our beach things we had borrowed and browsed the gift shop. A great day!

Pickup at the Hilton Hawaiian Village was smooth; the bus filled up just from our location, allowing us to head straight to our destination without stopping at other hotels. We were able to line up near the front of the gate, making entry seamless.

The wristband we received when boarding the bus clearly indicated the bus number for our return, as well as the numbers for the lunch and drink pickup locations on the map, which was very helpful.

The lockers require a check-in process at the counter rather than using coins, so if you delay, you might end up in a line. It's also a good idea to secure shaded deck chairs early.

The slides had almost no wait time, with the longest one, RAGING RIVER, taking about 15 minutes. We were able to enjoy all the slides except for the children's and those that were closed.

The BBQ lunch was delicious, and since we could eat at tables in a covered area, I felt it was a great choice.

After 3 PM, the women's changing room (with partitions and curtains) gets crowded. Many people seemed to be changing in the restroom stalls, so if you want to use the changing space, it's best to go with some extra time.

宿泊先のヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでピックアップ、ここだけでバス1台がいっぱいになり、他のホテルに寄ることなく目的地に直行、ゲートの先頭近くに並ぶことができ、入場までスムーズでした。

バス乗車時に付けてもらったリストバンドに、帰りのバスの番号、昼食場所やドリンク受取場所の、案内図上の番号も書いてあり、わかりやすいです。

ロッカーは、コインを入れるタイプではなく、カウンターで手続きをしなければいけないので、出遅れると行列になります。日陰のデッキチェアも早めに確保したほうが良いです。

スライダーは、ほとんど待ち時間無しで、一番長かったRAGING RIVERで15分ほど。子供用と休止中以外のスライダー全てに乗れて、満喫できました。

BBQランチも美味しく、屋根付きスペースで、テーブルで食べられるので、このコースにして良かったと思います。

3時過ぎから、女性用の更衣室（仕切りとカーテン付）は混みます。お手洗いの個室で着替えている方も多かったようですが、更衣スペースを使いたい方は、時間に余裕を持って行ったほうが良さそうです。

The weather was unfortunate, but the crew really lifted our spirits, and we had a great time despite the bad weather! I would love to participate again.

あいにくの天気でしたが、クルーのみなさんが盛り上げてくださり、天気が悪くてもかなり楽しめました！また参加したいです。

Since it was a weekday, there was no waiting time, and we fully enjoyed the water slides! I was thrilled by the exhilarating four-person and two-person boats, as well as the slide where you go down in a forward-leaning position, which you can't experience in Japan! There’s also a kids' pool and a wave pool, so both children and adults had a great time. I want to go again when I visit Hawaii!

平日だったのもあり、待ち時間もなくウォータースライダーを満喫！日本では味わえないスリル満点の4人乗りボートや2人乗りボート、前傾姿勢で滑るスライダーに感激しました！
キッズプールもあるし、波のプールもあるので子供から大人まで楽しめました。
またハワイに行ったら行きたいです！

It was a unique experience to be standing in the sea with almost all sand visible. Snorkeling was also amazing; it felt great to be swimming alongside the fish.

ほぼ砂が見えている状態だったので、海の中で立っているという非日常的体験が良かった。
シュノーケルも、魚と一緒に泳いでいる気分が最高だった。

First of all, the one-way free shuttle from the airport was appreciated, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales. The captain changed locations several times and made an effort, but it just didn't happen. I had high hopes since they said they saw them multiple times the day before. However, I did receive a free ticket for the next time, but I didn't see any whales on the second trip either.

まずは空港から片道無料送迎付きは有難かったのですが、クジラには出会えませんでした＞＜　　船長さんも幾度も場所を変え、挑戦してくれたのですがダメでした。前日は何回も見れたとのことだったので期待大でした。でも次回の無料参加チケを貰ったのですが２回目もダメでした＞＜

I highly recommend this event, particularly as a Super Ambassador. The private tour guide and reserved seating were definitely worth the extra pennies. We partaked in lots of activities, saw all the best shows in best seats and generally had an amazing day. I can't recommend this event enough.

I visited around August during Obon. Our seats were in a place where we could see the street outside, allowing us to enjoy the sparkling night view and the people passing by. The dishes were beautifully presented in elegant plates, giving it a feel similar to a Japanese Italian restaurant. While it didn't have a Hawaiian vibe, both the taste and portion sizes were satisfying. The staff were friendly, and it was enjoyable to choose drinks and ask about the dishes, but since they didn't speak Japanese, I think it's a good idea for those who are not confident in English to use a translation app on their smartphones. There were no Japanese customers either.

8月のお盆の頃にいきました。お席は外の通りが眺められる場所でしたのでキラキラした夜の景色や行きかう人を眺めながら頂けました。お料理は見た目が美しい器に盛られていて日本のイタリアンレストランのような感じでした。ハワイらしさはありませんが、味も量も満足できるものです。お店の人は親切で、相談しながらお酒を選んだり、料理の内容を聞いたりするのが楽しかったのですが、日本語は通じないので英語が苦手な人はスマホの翻訳アプリなどを使うといいと思います。お客さんも日本人はいなかったです。

The sandbar was very beautiful! Even though I was in the middle of the ocean, standing on the sand felt strange. I was able to see several sea turtles. Regarding snorkeling, the water was a bit murky, but it was nice to see the fish swimming. The breakfast sandwich was delicious.

サンドバーがとても綺麗でした！海の真ん中にいるのに、砂の上に立っていて、不思議な気持ちになりました。ウミガメも何匹も見ることができました。シュノーケルに関して、少し海は濁っていましたが、魚が泳いでいるのを見ることができ良かったです。朝食のサンドイッチ美味しかったです。

The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy... Our first trip to Hawaii! Leaving our eldest and second daughter in Japan, it was a trip for just the four of us: Dad, Mom, our eldest son, and our youngest daughter.

Being a sporty family, we first got hooked on beach volleyball, and while Dad took photos, there was a flurry of high-fives between us! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious—though we tried to recreate them at home and were disappointed that they didn't taste the same.

Seeing sea turtles up close had our high school senior son and middle school junior daughter in a frenzy! This two-shot at the beach was also refreshing!

Dad and Mom are determined to live long lives! We definitely want to go back again. Nature is amazing. The only downside was that the round-trip bus took way too long to arrive.

天気は晴れたり曇ったり・・・初めてのハワイ！長女・次女を日本に残し、パパ・ママ・長男・三女の４人旅。
スポーツ一家はビーチバレーにまずはまり、パパさんが写真を撮る中、親子でハイタッチの嵐！
お昼のハンバーガーも美味しかった～（家に帰ってチャレンジしたけど、同じ味にはならずガッカリ）
ウミガメを目の前にして高校３年長男と中学３年三女も大騒ぎ！海でのこのﾂｰｼｮｯﾄも新鮮！
パパとママも長生きするぞ！
また、絶対行きたいと思っています。自然って凄い。
ただ、往復のバスがあまりにも来なくて、それだけが難点でした。

On this day, there were many clouds, and they were reflected on the water's surface, but I was still able to observe a lot of sea turtles. The sandbar is not completely dry land, but it feels very strange to think that there is a shallow area about ankle-deep offshore. The mountains of Kualoa Ranch visible from the sandbar were very beautiful and left me in awe.

この日は雲が多くて水面に雲が映っていましたが、それでもウミガメをたくさん観察できました。
サンドバーは完全な陸地ではありませんが、沖に足首くらいの浅瀬があると思うととても不思議な感じです。サンドバーから見えるクアロア牧場の山がとても綺麗で感激しました。

I participated because I wanted my parents, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, to experience what Hawaii has to offer. Starting with traditional hula, the spectacular fire show was breathtaking, and my parents were thrilled. I definitely recommend participating in the premium seating. You can really see everything up close!

The meal was served buffet-style, and we all lined up together to serve ourselves. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and they were very colorful. For drinks, I exchanged the drink tickets I received at the reception at the bar, but friendly waiters also came around to take orders at our seats.

I considered the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we had a great time here. Given the location and the food, I think I would choose this place again for my next visit.

ハワイは初めての両親に、ザ・ハワイなるものを体験してほしいと思い参加しました。
伝統的なフラから始まり、大迫力のファイヤーショーは圧巻で両親は大喜び。
是非、プレミアムシートでの参加をお薦めします。本当に目の前で見られます！
お食事はブッフェ方式で、みんなで仲良く一列に並び順番に取り分けて食べました。
ハワイアン料理がたくさんあり、とても鮮やかでした。
ドリンクは受付時に貰ったドリンクチケットと交換でバーでオーダーしましたが、お席へも気さくなウェイターさんが聞きに来てくれます。
ポリネシアンセンターのルアウと悩みましたが、十分楽しめました。やはり立地・お食事共に次回も参加するならこちらかなと思います。

We boarded a large bus at the Sheraton Waikiki bus center and set off. As expected from a popular tour, the bus was nearly full. It was a comfortable ride towards Kaneohe. Since it was early in the morning, I thought I would try to sleep, but I found myself captivated by the beautiful scenery outside the window until we arrived. We then boarded a nearly motionless boat from the port and set off. On the way to the sandbar, we enjoyed some sea turtle watching. The turtles peeked their heads out from the beautiful emerald green sea, and each time, there were cheers of excitement.

Upon arriving at the sandbar, we took a stroll towards it with our cameras in hand. Everyone enjoyed taking photos, and after a while, we returned to the boat to drop off our cameras and put on our snorkeling gear to head back to the sandbar. We had a great time snorkeling there.

After encountering many fish, we returned to the boat, where delicious sandwiches and drinks were waiting for us. The boat smoothly made its way to Kaneohe Bay.

I truly had a wonderful time in the beautiful sea. Thank you very much.

シェラトンワイキキのバスセンターで大型バスにのり、出発。さすが人気ツアー、ほぼ満席でした。カネオヘにむかい快適なバスの時間。朝早かったので、寝ようっと思っていましたが、窓からみえる素敵な景色に見入っているうちに到着。港から揺れのほぼない船にのり出発。サンドバーに到着するまでに、海亀ウォッチング。キレイなエメラルドグリーンの海からぽこぽこといたるところから顔を覗かせる海亀たち。その度に歓声があがりました。
サンドバーに到着すると、カメラ片手にサンドバーに向けお散歩。おのおの撮影をたのしみ一旦カメラを船におきにかえり、シュノーケルを付けて、もう一度サンドバーに。そこからシュノーケリング楽しみました。
たくさんのお魚に出会い、満足して船に帰ると、美味しいサンドイッチと飲み物が用意されていました。船は揺れることなくカネオヘBAYへ。
ほんとに、綺麗な海で素敵な時間をすごさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。

The week I went to Hawaii, there was a Hawaiian storm, and the weather was very unstable. However, miraculously, the day at the heavenly beach was sunny, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea! The staff were all very interesting and kind, and I had a great time. Beach volleyball was fun, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious ♥ I was very satisfied with the optional tour where I also got to see sea turtles!

私がハワイへ行った週は、
ちょうどハワイアンストームがきていて、
とても天気が不安定でしたが、
天国の海の日は奇跡的に晴れて、
とてもキレイな海を味わうことができました！
スタッフの方もとてもおもしろく良い方ばかりで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ビーチバレーも楽しかったし、船上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかった♥
ウミガメも見れて大満足のオプショナルツアーでした！

I used a one-day pass. I arrived a little early by rental car. Even when the time came, I couldn't find anyone from Veltra, so I waited for a while. When I asked someone nearby, I was told to present the voucher at the reception, and from there I was able to enter. I thought the deck chairs and floaties would be prepared in advance, but it turned out to be first come, first served, and I felt like I completely missed out.

As for the pool, it was just as the reviews said, with many slides and plenty of lifeguards, so I was able to enjoy myself safely. The wave pool was much deeper and had stronger waves than in Japan, and even adults seemed like they could almost drown. I was a bit anxious about going to a pool while in Hawaii, but unlike in Japan, there weren't long lines for the slides, and I had a great time.

1日パスの利用でした。
レンタカーで時間少し前に到着。
時間になっても、ベルトラの方が見つからず、しばらく待って
近くにいた別の人に聞くと、受付にバウチャー券を出すよう言われ、
そこから入場。デッキチェアーや浮き輪も事前に準備されているのかと
思っていたら、早いもの勝ちなだけで、キープされていたわけではなく、
完全に出遅れた感じでした。

プールの内容は口コミ通り、スライダーも多く、監視員さんも
たくさんおられ、安心して楽しむことができました。
波のプールが日本よりとても深く、激しい波で、大人でも溺れそうでした。
ハワイにきてまでプール、、、、と少し不安でしたが、日本のようにスライダーに
長蛇の列をなすこともなく、とても満喫できました。

We went as a family of four, including two elementary school children.

The water level at the sandbar was just below waist height. Honestly, I was quite disappointed because I had imagined the sand would be more exposed. That said, the weather was nice, and the clear water and white sand were beautiful.

After returning home, I did some research and found that various conditions are needed for the sand to be exposed, so it seems to depend on luck and timing. I feel there should be a bit more communication that it’s not guaranteed the sand will be visible!

The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers made with patties grilled on the boat. It might be clearer to call it a BBQ hamburger. There was quite a line, so it took a long time, but that’s understandable. We were able to see 2-3 sea turtles during the sea turtle watch, and the kids were satisfied. It was unfortunate that it started to drizzle during snorkeling, and the water became dim. After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I recommend bringing a change of clothes.

Since the rain intensified, I wonder if we returned to the dock early... We were unsure which bus to take and whether any buses were even coming. There was no one to explain, so we had to ask all the drivers. In the end, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive. It was quite comical to see everyone wandering around in the light rain without umbrellas. I think everyone would feel more at ease if they could come to pick us up with a bit more time to spare. Therefore, I give it ★★★.

小学生の子供２人を含めた家族４人で行きました。

サンドバーの海面は腰よりちょっと下くらいでした。
砂が顔を出しているイメージだったのでかなりガッカリしたのが正直な感想です。
とはいえ、お天気も良かったので透き通る海面と白い砂は綺麗でした。

帰国してからいろいろ調べましたが砂が顔を出すのはいろいろな条件が必要な様で
まさに運とタイミングみたいですね。
必ず砂面が見えるとは限らない！ということをもう少しアナウンスがあっても良いと感じてます。

ＢＢＱランチは船上で焼いたハンバーグを使ったハンバーガーでした。
ＢＢＱハンバーガーと書いた方がわかりやすいのでは。
行列になっていたのでかなり時間がかかりましたがこれは仕方ないですね。
海ガメウオッチは２～３頭見ることが出来子供たちも満足していました。
シュノーケリングの頃から小雨が降り出し、海面も薄暗くなってしまったのは残念でした。
海から上がった後は震える程寒く、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。

雨も激しくなってきたので早めに岸壁に戻ったのでしょうか…。
どのバスに乗るのか…そもそもバスが来ているのか…
説明してくれる人も居らず、全てのドライバーさんに聞いて周りました。
結局は迎えのバスが来るまで２０分ほど時間がありました。
誰も傘を持っていない中、戸外で小雨に濡れながら全員が右往左往している姿はまさに滑稽でした。
余裕をもってお迎えに来てもらえると皆安心出来ると思います。
よって、★三つです。

This is the only luau I have attended, but I can't imagine one being more enjoyable than this one. The pick-up service was right on time at the scheduled location and the drive over to Sea Life Park was quick considering the time of departure. The pre-dinner activities were fun and I picked up a piece of local artwork from a vendor that has become my favorite Hawaiian collectible. Dinner was very good and I'm still thinking of how yummy the coconut cake was! Chief was very entertaining and the other performers really put their native pride into the show. I would certainly recommend this luau experience!

I wasn't sure what a sandbar was, but I participated anyway. It was a wonderful place. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles, and snorkeling was fun. It felt like I was in an aquarium with so many fish around. The hamburger that was prepared when I got hungry was also delicious.

サンドバーがどんなものかあまりわからず参加。
とても素敵な所でした。
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができたし、シュノーケルも楽しかった。水族館に入ったかのようにお魚いっぱいでした。
お腹がすいたころに用意されたハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
