All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

It was my daughter's debut in Hawaii. It was a trip just for my daughter and me.

As we were traveling with a toddler, I was very worried about how much we could enjoy it and whether the experience would be worth the price. We were picked up at our hotel in a microbus. We went in light clothing, wearing swimsuits and flip-flops, and brought about $20 in cash and coins. We boarded a small boat at the port.

The Japanese staff, the captain, and the female crew members were all very friendly and attentive to us, especially considering I had a child with me. They talked to my daughter a lot, which I really appreciated.

Right after boarding, we were served drinks, cookies, and bread that had a very American taste (laughs). Soon after we set off, we arrived at a spot to see sea turtles. We were able to see two sea turtles swimming, which was thrilling. I enjoyed the sense of unity on the boat while we were searching for the turtles.

It was the rainy season, and there were storm-like winds, so it wasn't exactly a shining sandbar, but by the time we arrived at the spot, the skies cleared a bit, which was a relief. I think it's a good idea to prepare a waterproof camera or a smartphone in a waterproof case if you want to ask the staff to take photos. I opted for a service where they took pictures with a $60 camera, and I was satisfied with the natural, Hawaii-like photos they captured.

The warm drink service on the boat was nice for our chilled bodies from the sea, as well as the light snack service. Since the meal is really just a light snack, I think it's better not to have high expectations. If you don't expect much, you can be satisfied. We had plenty and ended up feeling full.

My daughter couldn't snorkel, so she stayed on the boat, but she had a great time with other families who weren't snorkeling and the crew, and the waiting time passed quickly. During the wait, we enjoyed throwing food to the fish from the boat and watching them gather. My daughter even said "please!" to the crew as she threw food into the sea, which made her happy.

Although the sandbar itself was somewhat disappointing due to the cold and cloudy weather, the rest of the time was very enjoyable, and it seems to have created wonderful memories for my daughter. She says she wants to ride on the turtle boat in Hawaii again.

I definitely want to book this again when we go in the summer!

娘のハワイデビューでした。娘と母の2人旅です。
幼児のため、どのくらい楽しめるのか、内容は価格相応であるかなどとても心配でした。お迎えは滞在先のホテルに、マイクロバスで。水着にビーサン、タオルと20ドル程度の紙幣と小銭といった軽装で行きました。港で小型の船に乗り込みました。
日本人スタッフさんもキャプテンも、クルーの女性も感じがよく、子連れの私に気を配ってくださったり、娘にたくさん話しかけてくださったりと、とてもありがたい気持ちでした。
乗ってすぐのドリンクやクッキー、パンのサービスはとてもアメリカンな味でした（笑）乗船後すぐ、ウミガメのスポットへ。二匹のウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができ、感激しました。ウミガメを探している時の船の一体感が楽しかったです。
当日は雨季、嵐のような風で、輝くようなサンドバーとは言えませんでしたが、スポットへ着く頃には晴れ間も見えホッとしました。スタッフに写真を頼むには、必ず防水のカメラ、もしくは防水ケースに入れたカメラやスマホ出なくてはいけないので準備していくと良いと思います。私は60ドルの一眼で撮影していただけるサービスを申し込みました。自然な感じでハワイらしい写真を撮っていただけて満足しています。
海で冷えた体に船上の温かいドリンクのサービスや、軽食のサービスは嬉しかったです。食事は本当に軽食ですので期待しないほうが良いと思います。期待しなければ満足できます。たくさんいただいたので満腹になりました。
娘はシュノーケルはできないので船上でお留守番をしていたのですが、シュノーケルをしない他のご家族やクルーのみなさんと過ごす時間が楽しく、留守番の時間もあっという間に過ぎて行きました。待ち時間には船上から魚に餌を投げ、魚が集まる様子を楽しみました。娘も「please！」なんてクルーに話しかけて海に餌を投げて喜んでいました。
寒くて曇っていてサンドバー自体の満足度はそこそこなのですが、それ以外の時間が非常に楽しくて、なによりも娘にとって良い思い出となったようです。またハワイでカメのお船にのりたいと言っています。
また夏に行く時には絶対申し込みたいです！

I was hoping to see the whales swimming, but it seems it was still too early for that season, and all I could see was the tail of a whale swimming in the distance. I understand it's nature, so there's not much I can do about it, but I really wished I could have seen them up close.

くじらの泳ぐ姿を見られるのかな～と思っていましたが、時期的にまだ早かったらしく、遠くで泳いでいたくじらの尻尾だけしか見れませんでした。
生き物相手なので仕方がないかなと思いましたが、もっと近くで見てみたかったな～。

I was prepared to walk on the sand, but due to the tide, the sand was underwater during the time I participated, so I couldn't walk on it. However, the scenery was incredibly beautiful, and I got to see many sea turtles, making it a fun tour.

砂の上を歩くつもりで準備していたのですが、潮の満ち引きの加減で、参加した時間帯は砂は海の中にあり、歩くことはできませんでした。しかし、景色はすごくきれいだったし、たくさんのウミガメにも会えたし、楽しいツアーでした。

Great staff, nice cat, cheap drinks! Can't compain :)

This tour was just unbelievable! We had so much fun playing beach volleyball on the sandbar, watching turtles, and best of all the snorkeling. Great snorkeling spot to see lots of fishes and beautiful corals. My niece got to see three turtles up close! The crews were really fun to hang out with.

We attended as a couple. It took a long time to be guided to our seats and to the buffet before the show started. However, once the second part of the show began, all of that was forgotten. It was my first time seeing a fire dance up close like that. I was amazed by the intensity and wondered how they could do it—were their feet and mouths okay? It was incredibly powerful. I definitely want to participate again next time!

夫婦で参加しました。ショーが始まるまでは、席への案内や、ビュッフェへの案内もたいへん時間がかかりました。しかし、第2部のショーが始まるとそんなことはどこへやら。特に最後のファイヤーダンスをこれだけ身近で見たのは初めてでした。なぜそんなことが出来るのか？足は、口は大丈夫なの？とすごい迫力でした。ぜひ次回も参加したいと思います！

We participated as a couple. It was a very large ship, and we boarded with many foreign guests. For breakfast, soy sauce was provided, which made us feel that consideration was given to Japanese guests. During our last visit to Hawaii, I heard that whales can be seen in January, so I signed up and was able to see live whales. I was moved by the large tail of the mother whale and the small tail of the baby whale. Next time, I plan to bring binoculars to enjoy the experience even more!

夫婦で参加しました。とても大きな船で、多くの外人客とともに乗船しました。朝食には醤油が用意され、日本人に配慮されていることを感じました。前回ハワイ訪問時、1月はクジラが見れるとのことで参加を申しみ、なまクジラを拝見出来ました。親子クジラの大きな尻尾と小さな尻尾には感動する覚えました。次回はオペラグラスを用意して、見学したいと思います！

A wonderful experience. Especially liked the catamaran trip. Great guide. Want to go again!!

First, you can enjoy a truly VIP experience sitting on luxurious sofas in the green room while being served champagne and pinchos. After that, you can take a commemorative photo with Gaga. Then, an older brother who resembles Ebizo will guide you backstage, where you can see stage costumes and props, including Michael Jackson's glove, and even touch some hula accessories (like pom-poms).

You get to go on stage and take commemorative photos, spending a really enjoyable time. The seats are right in the center of the front row, allowing you to see Elvis, Gaga, Michael, and in between, the hula and fire dance performances, making the time fly by.

This was not just an impersonation or lip-syncing; it was a real singing and dancing entertainment show. The food was plentiful, including lobster, steak, salmon, and more, all delicious.

Finally, at the exit, you can take a commemorative photo with each person and get signatures on the photos taken in the green room before heading home.

まず、グリーンルームでシャンパンやピンチョスなどを豪華なソファーに座ってサービスされ、ホントにＶＩＰな気分を味わいます。その後ｶﾞｶﾞと記念撮影。
その後、海老蔵似のお兄さんに舞台裏を案内され、舞台衣装や装置、マイケルジャクソンの手袋など見せてもらったり、フラの小物（ポンポンなど）を触らせてもらったり…
実際に舞台上に上がり記念写真を撮ってもらい、なかなか楽しい時間を過ごしました。
席は、舞台最前列のど真ん中で、エルビス、ｶﾞｶﾞ様、マイケル・・・その合間のフラやファイアーダンスなど、しっかり見られ、あっという間の時間でした。
物まね・・・という域ではなく、口パクではなく本当に歌って踊るエンタ―テーメントのショーでした。
お料理はボリュームがありロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなどなど有り、おいしくいただきました。
最後に、出口で一人ひとりと記念撮影をし、グリーンルームで撮った写真にサインをもらって
帰りました。

We had a great time on the Waikiki Trolley! It was nice to see all the lights and not have to worry about being the driver. The staff was very helpful and courteous too.

The luau combined with the show was a perfect visit to the culture center. We all enjoyed the show! Amazing seats

We enjoyed the blue water views and the warm hospitality of the crew. Great trip!

My grandchildren did enjoy the tour very much. A lot of wonderful history that they really enjoyed

I was able to see whales. Although I couldn't see the whole whale, as they were mostly spouting water or just showing their tails, I was glad to see them multiple times during the cruise. The food was also delicious. There were hardly any Japanese passengers, and the detailed explanations were only in English, but there were Japanese menus and announcements, so it was manageable.

くじら見えました。潮噴いてたり尻尾だけだったりと、なかなか全体は見えませんでしたがクルーズ中何度も見ることができて良かったです。
ご飯もおいしかったです。
乗客にも日本人はほとんどいなくて、細かい説明は英語のみでしたが、日本語メニューやアナウンスもあったので、それなりに大丈夫でした。

The Chief's Luau was fun and culture fulfilled. This was our second Luau and found this better than the Paradise Cove Luau as there was alot more teachings of the Polynesia culture. It was wonderful to hear about the different Polynesian beleifs, markings dancers and so much more. The Chief was a great host and his passion for his culture was lovely. A wonderful night.

At first, I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything, but I encountered a family of whales and was able to see them spouting multiple times while staying alongside them. I didn't get too seasick and had a great time. A tip for not missing the whales is to stay close to the naturalist! The view of the buildings in Honolulu from the sea is also very beautiful. ☻

最初は見られるかどうか不安でしたが、ファミリーに遭遇できて、ずっと並走して、なんども潮吹など見ることができました。
船酔いもあまりせず、楽しめました。
ホエールを逃さず見るコツは、ナチュラリストの近くにいる事！
海側からみるホノルルのビルもとっても綺麗です☻

I was able to see whales, and the scenery was wonderful, so I was very satisfied. I would like to participate again. It became my best memory of my trip to Hawaii.

くじらも見れて景色もすばらしくて、とても満足でした。また、参加したいと思いました。ハワイ旅行の一番の思い出になりました。

The children really enjoyed the tour and history of pearl Barbour and missouri

I participated with my third-grade son, and we had a great time! We had no worries, and even saw sea turtles popping their heads up... We plan to go again this year, so we will participate again!

小3の息子と二人で参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです！不安もなく、ウミガメも顔を出してくれたり…今年もまたい 行く予定なのでまた、参加します！

The sea is beautiful. I didn't go snorkeling, but those who did said it was amazing. However, the BBQ lunch is not very promising.

海がきれいです。シュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、された方によると最高だそうです。
ただ、BBQランチはあまり期待できません。

I was looking forward to seeing whales, but I couldn't spot any. However, I did discover three mantas! I enjoyed a lovely morning cruise.

クジラ楽しみに行きましたが見れませんでした。しかし、マンタ三匹を発見！そして、朝の気持ち良いクルーズ、楽しめました。

Yesturday we had a great adventure!
When my husbund and I went to this trip I thought we will see one or two whales very far away. But thanks Dave and his wonderful crew we saw so many things! We saw dolphins, turtles, fishes and whales of course. There were several points where we saw them. One of the whales jumped out the water many times and it was amasing.
It was like we saw Discovery channal but we saw this with our own eyes. We took so many beautiful pictures! The crew was very polite and nice to everybody. They came to us and other tourists and told us about whales habits, it was really useful and interesting.

This New Year's, I went to Hawaii for the first time! I attended the Rock-a-Hula show by Legends in Concert Waikiki for the second time. The last time I watched from the back of the second floor, I saw people in the front row enjoying their meals while watching the show and thought, "This is how it should be in Waikiki!" I decided that next time, I would sit there for a revenge experience! So, I splurged on a VIP tour that included a behind-the-scenes look.

There were four groups participating in this tour. First, we waited in the VIP room, which had free drinks and a variety of delicious snacks that left us very satisfied! After a while, Lady Gaga came to take individual photos with us. Then, a manager who could speak a little Japanese slowly walked us through the backstage for about ten minutes, showing us props and set pieces while explaining everything. Standing on stage and looking out at the audience, I felt like I was Elvis or Michael—it was the best!

We sat in the front row for a full-course dinner, which was quite tasty! Finally, the show began, and being in the front row was completely different from watching from the second floor! We were so close that we could even see the sweat. Our eyes met several times, and it was just amazing! My wife was also really into it and at her maximum excitement level! I'm so glad I decided to splurge! She was extremely happy.

Since we came to enjoy Hawaii, I especially recommend this to couples from the Elvis and Michael generation. How about a surprise gift for your wife?

年末年始、お正月で初のハワイ！
ロック・ア・フラショーbyレジェンド・イン・コンサート・ワイキキは、今回2回目。
前回2階席後方から観た際、最前列席で優雅に食事し観ている人達をみてワイキキはこうでなくては！ 次回はリベンジ？！あそこに座って観よう！と決め、今回VIP待遇の舞台裏まで見るツアーに思い切って奮発し参加しました。
このツアーに参加したのは4組のグループでした。まずはVIPルームで待機。フリードリンクや美味しいツマミが数多くあり大満足！
暫くするとレディガガが来てくれて個々の写真撮影。それから片言の日本語が話せるマネージャーが10分程度舞台裏をゆっくり歩きながら小道具・大道具などを見せてもらい説明を聞きました。舞台に立ち客席を見て自分がプレスリー、マイケルになった気分で最高！
最前列の客席に座ってフルコースディナー。まずまず美味しかったかな！
いよいよショーの始まり、やはり最前列は2階席から観るのとは大違い！汗までも見えるほど近い。何度も目が合い、もう最高！ 妻ものりのりでテンションMAX！思い切って奮発して良かった‼️大変喜んでもらいました。
せっかくハワイにエンジョイしに来たのだから、特にエルビス、マイケル世代のご夫婦にはお薦めです。
奥様にビックリプレゼントとしていかがですか‼️

I didn't expect it to be this much fun. Swimming with sea turtles was highly recommended. They also took photos for us, which we couldn't have done ourselves while on the water, and it was quite a surprising and well-organized tour.

こんなに楽しいと思いませんでした。
ウミガメと一緒に泳いだり、大変お勧めです。
写真も撮って頂き、海の上なので、自分たちではなかなか出来ず、かなりびっくりしたほどよく出来たツアーでした。

I previously enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center, but this time, we had a wedding in Waikiki with a large group of 12 people. We were able to see the luau at the nearby Hilton Village, and my new mother-in-law was truly thrilled to see it for the first time. It was really great. Requesting the premium seats was the right choice. Thank you very much.

以前、ポリネシアン文化センターで鑑賞しましたが！今回はウェディングも兼ねてのワイキキで、12人と人数も多く近場のヒルトンビレッジでルアウを見ることができ、初めて見たお嫁ちゃんのお母様が大感激しておられ　ホントにヨカッタです。
プレミアムシートをお願いして　正解でした。有難うございました。

For a long time tried to choose adventures, that we want to try in Hawaii- and whales watch was one of that we want to see for sure. We choose Waikiki Whale Watch Sailing Cruise (from Kewalo Basin)-and for 100% it wasn't a mistake. Our capital was Dave-really cool cap!)) First of all he told that we'll try to see whales, turtles, dolphins- and he realized all programm! I red a lot about such trips, so we were ready that we wouldn't see whales too close- so my advise- the better optics u have-the better photos ull have. If u have go-pro take it for sure, cause u can make reAlly cool video under the water with dolphins, which were really close to boat). So really want to advise this trip-u ll never regret about it-we never saw whales and it was really great emotions. One more thing-don't take trip on a big boat-our was really comfortable, only 17 people-so it was easy to take pictures and run from one side of boat to another, trying to make good photo))

I was amazed by the blueness and clarity of the sea, which exceeded my expectations. The hamburger for lunch was also exquisite, and it was a tour where I could experience the crew's cheerfulness and kindness.

想像以上の海の青さ、透明度に感動しました。ランチのハンバーガーも絶品で、クルーの陽気さ優しさにも触れられるツアーでした。

I participated in "Rock-a-Flash Show" by Legends in Concert Waikiki (inside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center) / ☆Members Only Monitor Tour☆ / Green Room Dinner & Show. I am very satisfied with the high-quality show. Here are the details.

First, while enjoying champagne in the VIP room, Elvis came in and took a commemorative photo with us. After that, we had a backstage tour led by a guide who resembled Ebizo, and he explained everything in English, making it easy for us Japanese to understand without feeling nervous. After detailed explanations of the dressing room, lighting, and backstage, we were guided to a table in front of the stage for dinner. The meat was tender, and the shrimp was delicious, leaving us very satisfied.

Although it was a dinner show, Elvis was the first to appear. We could understand the feeling of when he first visited Hawaii through his costume, and even for those of us who are not from that generation, we could appreciate his high level of skill. After that, Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance. Her dance was impressive, but her piano performance and humorous act were very easy for the older audience to understand, creating a sense of unity in the venue. When Michael appeared at the end, the venue erupted with his overwhelming dance skills and singing voice. We were captivated for several minutes by his perfectly recreated dance performance. Being able to see his performance in Hawaii was a precious memory during our seven-day stay, truly living up to the name "King of Pop."

After the show, there was a photo opportunity with all the performers, and we had time for autographs and conversations, which is another reason I recommend this experience. In addition to the first-class performances of the main stars, the local performers dancing hula and the fire dance skills were uniquely Hawaiian and made for a very valuable experience.

I felt that this high-quality show could be enjoyed even by those who do not know Elvis or Michael in real-time. Thank you for the enjoyable time in Hawaii. I would like to visit again on my next trip to Hawaii.

　今回ロック・ア・フラショー by レジェンド・イン・コンサート・ワイキキ （ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内） / ☆会員様限定モニターツアー☆／グリーン・ルーム・ディナー＆ショー に参加して来ました。
　完成度の高いショーに大満足しております。以下が詳細になります。最初にVIPルームでシャンパンを頂いていたら、エルビスさんがVIPルームに来て記念撮影してくれました。その後海老蔵似の案内人によりバックステージの見学しましたが、英語で丁寧に説明してくれたため、日本人の我々にも分かり易く、とても慣れた感じで緊張することなく理解すること出来ました。控え室、ライティング、ステージ裏を細かく説明頂いた後、ステージ前のテーブルに案内されて食事を頂きました。お肉も柔らかく、海老も美味しく大満足でした。
ディナーショーですが、最初に登場したのがエルビスでした。ハワイを初めて訪れた当時の感じが衣装からも理解ができ、世代では無い私達にも彼の技術の高さは理解出来ました。その後は、レディガガがサプライズな演出での登場。ダンスも印象的でしたがピアノ演奏と非常にユーモアのあるパフォーマンスには年配に方々にも非常に分かり易く、会場が一体となっておりました。最後にマイケルが登場した際には、圧倒的なダンス力と歌声で会場は大盛り上がり。完全に再現されたダンスパフォーマンスに数分間見入ってしまいました。まさにKING　OF　POPという名に恥じない彼のパフォーマンスをハワイで観れた事は７日間の滞在の中でも貴重な思い出となりました。ショー終了後にはパフォーマー全員との写真撮影があり、サインは勿論、会話もする時間を設けて頂けるため、間近で彼らに接する事が出来るのもお勧めする理由です。又、主役の方々の一流のパフォーマンスは勿論でしたが、周りでフラを踊っている現地パフォーマーの華やかさや、ファイヤーダンスの技術はハワイならではで大変貴重な経験となりました。
　リアルタイムでエルビスやマイケルを知らない方でも必ず満喫することが出来る完成度の高いショーだと感じました。この度は、ハワイでの楽しい時間をありがとうございました。またハワイ旅行の際には行って見たいと思います。

We had a fantastic time and a great meal. The entertainment was also great. I would recommend this to anyone - couples or famalies.

It was cold and rainy on 12/22/14. Only saw the tail of a small whale while returning to shore. A new trip was offered but not on the same day and couldnot return attend in the future.
