All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I wanted to visit Sandbar after seeing it introduced by Higashi MAX on the TV program "Another Sky." What I saw on TV was truly a place surrounded by the ocean, but on this tour, we were brought to a spot close to the land. Huh? It was just a shallow area. I’m not sure if it was just beautifully portrayed on TV or if this tour was a letdown...

Since I participated in the afternoon, the water came up to about my chest. It didn't feel like a sandbar at all. The itinerary included a sea turtle spot, but there was no guidance about it, and when the boat got a bit noisy, it was just because a sea turtle was there. Plus, I could only see it for a brief moment...

We also went snorkeling, but honestly, the sea and the fish were not beautiful at all!!! It was no different from Waikiki Beach.

I participated in the recommended plan with a barbecue lunch, but I would recommend the early morning plan with a snack breakfast instead. The snorkeling felt like it was just added on to raise the price, and I felt like I lost out.

Since the sunburn was intense, I highly recommend taking thorough precautions against it.

ＴＶ番組アナザースカイで東ＭＡＸがサンドバーを紹介していてどうしてきたかったサンドバー。
ＴＶで見たのは本当に全面海、という場所でしたが
このツアーで連れてこられるのはふつうに陸地も近くです。あれれ？ただの浅瀬じゃん。
ＴＶが綺麗に映していただけなのか、このツアーがはずれだったのか・・・わかりませんが。

お昼に参加なので胸くらいまで水がきてました。サンドって感じはしなかったなぁ。
日程にウミガメスポットが含まれていますが、そのような案内はなく、船の中がざわついたなと思ったらウミガメがいたという感じです。
しかもほんの一瞬しかみれませんでした。。

シュノーケリングにも行きましたが、正直ぜんぜん海も魚も綺麗じゃないです！！！
ワイキキビーチと変わらないですよ～。

おすすめプラン・バーベキューランチ付きに参加しましたが、早朝プラン・スナック朝食付きをおすすめします。
シュノーケリングは本当に無理やり付けて値上げした感があって損したきぶんです。

日焼けがはんぱないので念入りに対策をおすすめします。

It was very refreshing to experience a place like this outdoors, as there are none like it in Japan. However, there were some concerns compared to Japanese pools. There were quite a few leaves and insects floating in the pool. There are areas where you walk barefoot, but the floor was quite hot. The lunch was a buffet, but it wasn't delicious. The all-you-can-drink containers were honestly difficult to hold and inconvenient.

I would like to go again if I have the chance.

野外でこのような形式の所は日本にはなくとても新鮮でした。
ただ所々、日本のプールと比べると気になるところがありました。
落ち葉や虫がそこそこプールに浮かんでいる。
裸足で歩く所がありますが、床がかなり熱い。
お昼はブッフェでしたが美味しくありませんでした。
飲み放題のドリンク容器は正直持ちづらく不便でした。

機会があればまた行きたいです。

I was picked up around 8:30 AM. Unfortunately, we couldn't land at the sandbar because it was close to high tide, but we walked about 100 meters, and the staff took many commemorative photos for us. Since most of the participants were Japanese, I felt quite at ease. The coral was very beautiful, and snorkeling, where we also got to see sea turtles, was a lot of fun! (*^^*)

朝8：30ごろピックアップしていただきました。サンドバーは満潮に近い時間だったため、残念ながら上陸はできませんでしたが100メートルほど歩いて行き、スタッフの方が記念写真を沢山撮って下さいました。殆どの参加者が日本人だったため、安心感がかなりありました。また珊瑚がとても美しく、ウミガメにも会えたシュノーケルはとっても楽しかったです(*^^*)

I was able to see whales! I participated with my 5-year-old daughter, but she didn't seem very impressed, perhaps because of the distance to the whales. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly, so my husband and I had a great time.

The boat hardly rocked, so I don't think anyone would get seasick.

クジラ見られました！
５歳の娘と参加したましたが、娘はクジラまでの距離があるせいか、あまり感動していないようでした(＠_＠;)
料理も美味しかったし、スタッフの方もフレンドリーだし、夫と私はとても楽しかったです。

船もほとんど揺れないので、酔うこともないと思います。

The shuttle service was very loose with timing. The content was wonderful, and the instructors, staff, and food were all very good. It's a shame that they didn't say anything about the delays in the shuttle service.

送迎時間がとてもル-ズでした。内容は素晴らしく　インストラクタ-、スタツフ　食べ物もとてもよかつた　送迎が遅れても何も言わないし残念。

We love this luau!! The chef was super funny and he interacted with everyone at the luau. It was really personal and everyone was treated like family. We will def go back again. LOL Mahalo!!

We stayed in Oahu for a week and it wasn't enough time visit all the placed that I had panned. The helicopter tour was a great way to see the entire island within an hour. The pilot talked about all the major points of the island. Especially looking down the Pearl Harbor was an experience that I never forget.

Jake, Josh, and Barry took us on a fabulous voyage! They explained what the activity would entail and gave some safety rules.

They they took us put to turtle Bay and as we were making our way to where we were going to anchor the boat, we saw our first Turtle.

We got all geared up and went into the water. Someone on the trip wasn't a sting swimmer and jake provided adsistance so he wouldn't miss out on anything.

We saw several turtles and lots of beautiful fish!

We had a great lunch and a few great cocktails.

It was one of my best experiences while in Hawaii!

For some reason, whenever we think of Hawaii, the kids always want to come here. First, we grab a spot under the umbrella in front of the wave pool, and once we confirm it's available, we head to the thrilling slides as a family. There's a scale for everyone to weigh themselves before getting on, and I strangely dislike stepping on it. In a different way, we had a lot of fun this time too.

なぜかいつもハワイといえば子供達はここなのです。まず真っ先に波のプール前にある
パラソルの下に席を取り、空いているのを確認したら家族で絶叫スライダーです。乗り込む前の家族全員の体重を測る台があるのですがそこに乗る時が妙に嫌です。別な意味で
今回も楽しかったです。

Beautiful scenery... Friendly, courteous guides... Great time.... Too short!

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon, and I booked this show again for my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. We were able to watch the show in an open outdoor setting in Waikiki, and it seemed like my husband enjoyed it. The show is wonderful, but just like last time, the buffet (food) isn't particularly delicious, so it's best not to have high expectations (though the meat was good). We might not go for a third time, but I think it's worth seeing once. Also, please note that buses do not stop at the bus stop in front of the Hilton right now!

新婚旅行でハワイを訪れ、初ハワイの旦那さんのため、以前参加したこちらのショーを申込みしました。
ワイキキで、そして屋外という開放的な場所でショーを見られ、旦那さんも楽しんでいたようです。
ショーは素敵なのですが、前回同様ブッフェ（食事）は美味しいというわけではありませんので、あまり期待はしない方がいいです。（お肉は美味しかったようです）。
3回目はないかもしれませんが、一度観るには良いと思います。
あと今はヒルトン前のバス停にバスが止まらないので要注意です！

This gets any star at all because we enjoyed the water and the sailboat. The ad for it is a total scam. It should say "come aboard our sailboat and let Mother Nature wave you around for exactly one hour and forty five minutes. ". It is a misleading ad as it says they have spared no cost in treating us to a lux cruise on board with Bose sound and large screen tv. Really? I think I may have heard a radio and who wants a tv anyway so why advertise it. They give you a drink ticket and when hmm husband ordered a Heineken she passed him some crappy off brand can. The Heineken was only available for purchase once you redeem your free ticket. The ad also talks about wildlife and don't really count on any. It is not a cruise to a specific place where there are known sea life. So, two stars one for the boat even tho the sail had a big rip in it and one star for the crew who showed us how to use a life jacket. The rest of it is the beautiful nature of the water which all of the scammers are taking advantage of as they steal tourists money.

I had an amazing time. I was impressed by the hospitality of the staff. The kids said it was the most fun among all the optional tours they participated in. I think this tour offers great value for the price.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。スタッフの方のホスピタリティに脱帽。子供たちもいろいろ参加したオプションツアーの中で一番楽しかったそうです。
このツアーはコスパーはとても良いと思います。

After visiting Honolulu many times before, my husband and I wanted to do something fun and unique to celebrate the beauty of Honolulu...beyond the glitzy stores and swanky restaurants. Well, we couldn't be happier with our choice to book a sun-filled excursion on the Honi Olani. The catamaran sail turned out to be fantastic, thanks to the experienced, well-trained Captain and crew. From the confirmation email, hotel pickup and transport to the marina, all of the details worked out as promised. As promised, we swam right next to sea turtles and other fish and truly enjoyed the personal attention and guidance while snorkeling in the water. We swam for over an hour, then sailed along the gorgeous shores of the island. The lunch provided was tasty, as were the cocktails and drinks included in the tour. The friendly crew made the entire tour seem effortless, although we know they were all hard at work serving us every step of the way. Honestly, we felt pampered. This trip definitely is recommended for everyone, including those families with young children who are confident with swimming in the ocean. Flotation vests, high-quality fins and snorkels are provided, and the kids who were on our tour were watched over very carefully and taught the basics of snorkeling. There is something so peaceful about the turtles who live so close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We used the deluxe plan for a family of four. The shuttle bus arrived on time, allowing us to enter the park smoothly, and we were able to enjoy the pool and attractions.

However, when we arrived a bit late for the BBQ buffet during lunch, almost everything except for the grilled meat was gone, and there were no additional replenishments of fruits or salads. In the end, our lunch consisted of just a little rice and meat.

The plan mentioned that we would receive park souvenirs (a souvenir cup), but we didn't receive anything at all. Do we need to request it to get it?

The park itself is a very enjoyable place, and all the shuttle staff were kind, but if we go again, I think we might rent a car and skip the BBQ.

デラックスプランで家族４人で利用しました。
送迎バスも時間どおりに来てくれて、スムーズに入園でき、プール、アトラクションを楽しむことができました。
ＢＢＱバイキングは、ランチ時間に少し遅れていくと、焼き肉以外はほとんど無くなっていて、フルーツやサラダなど追加補充されることなく、結局、少しのご飯と肉だけのランチになってしまいました。
プラン内容にパーク記念品（おみやげカップ）がもらえる旨、書かれていますが、いっさい何ももらえませんでした。申告しないともらえないのですか？
パーク自体はとても楽しめる場所ですし、送迎スタッフの方も皆さん親切でしたが、次に行くとしたら、レンタカーでＢＢＱ付けずに行くかな？と思いました。

On our last day in Hawaii, my girlfriend and I dressed up and boarded a boat, but it felt like a children's summer camp from the movie The Addams Family, with an overly cheerful muscle crew interacting with families and elderly couples in a typically American, broad manner. The food was terrible, mostly fried items that would have been better left unserved. It might be fine for families with children under 13 or elderly couples, but I can't recommend it for couples. My girlfriend felt seasick and became moody, stopping talking altogether. Everyone seemed to be happily enjoying the sea turtles popping up, but I wondered if it was really that fun. This tour, which only goes a short distance from Waikiki Beach, reminded me a lot of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride I took at Disney World in Florida long ago. We boarded a submarine-like attraction that was full with just 15 people, dove only 2 meters, and saw a mechanical octopus that was broken and wouldn't move, with dads exclaiming "Waoooo!!" to their kids. It brought back that atmosphere.

I feel bad for my girlfriend...

ハワイ最後の日の思い出にと彼女とオシャレして船に乗り込んだものの、映画アダムスファミリーの子供向け夏合宿のごとく、やたら陽気一辺倒のマッスルクルーがマッスルスマイルで家族連れから老夫婦迄、アメリカ特有の大雑把なくくりで終始対応していた。食事は最悪で出さない方がまだましな揚げ物系ばかり。家族連れの13歳未満のお子様、老夫婦には丁度いいが、カップルにはお勧め出来ない。私の彼女は船酔いもあって気分悪く不機嫌になって喋らなくなってしまった。海カメが顔だしているのを皆まんぞくげに喜んでいたが、そんなに楽しいのだろうか？ワイキキビーチからわずかに遠くに行くだけの本ツアーは、昔フロリダのディズニーワールドで乗った海底2万マイルとよく似ている。15人も入ったら満員の潜水艦型アトラクションシップに乗込み、わずか2メートル潜水して、機械仕掛のしかも壊れて動かないタコがでてきて、お父さんが子供にWaoooo!!というやつ。あの雰囲気を思い出す。

彼女には悪いことしてしまった。。

You can't stay in Honolulu without seeing this magnificent tribute to the fallen military men and women of WWII. After attending a short film that told of December 7, 1941, we were then shuttled by boat to the Arizona. The sunken battleship still has oil that is leaking out of the tanks of the ship which you can actually smell. After this part of the tour, we went by bus to the USS Missouri where the treaty was signed with Japan. This was also very moving. As we headed back to Waikiki, we went by the Punchbowl Cemetery, China Town and got to see the State Building where the statue of King Kamehameha stands in front. This is the first thing that you see in the Hawaii 5 0 show when it starts. This is a great tour, and has all the must sees!

We opted to have dinner as well as the show. We had a great dinner along with a pre-show of hula dancers. After dinner, we were escorted to the show room. These performers were the best. At one point, I had to remind myself that these were impersonators. We saw Elvis, who was one of the best that we had ever seen. Lady Gaga was fantastic and Michael Jackson would have given the real Michael Jackson a run for his money on the moon walk. If you are in Waikiki, don't miss this show. Well worth it!

Was everything that we expected and much more. Good food, great entertainment and a lot of fun. My husband and I went on this fabulous cruise not only for dinner and entertainment but for the beautiful sunset that occurs off the shores of Oahu. Would highly recommend this for everyone...couples, families, and singles!

I had seen the catamaran at the beach for a while. Since I was traveling alone this time, I hesitated a bit, but I'm glad I participated! I had a great time!

There were no dolphins, but I encountered a honu! It was just floating around, and I was thrilled!

During the cruising, I wasn't exactly near the net, but I got pretty wet, haha. The weather was nice, so I dried off quickly and got a nice tan. I enjoyed cruising while sipping on a $5 Mai Tai. Next time, I’ll have fun splashing around near the net with my friends!

以前からビーチで見かけていたカタマラン。今回ひとり旅だったので
少し躊躇しましたが参加してよかった！楽しめました！

イルカはいなかったけど、ホヌに遭遇！普通にプカプカしていて感激！

クルージング中は、ネットのまわりにいたわけでもないけどかなり濡れます笑
天気がよかったのですぐ乾くしいい感じに日焼けできました。
５ドルのマイタイを飲みながらクルージングを楽しみました。
次回は友達とネット近くではしゃぐぞー！

It was an awesome experience for my children and myself....to see the turtles was incredible and I would not hesitate to recommend to other families:)

There are so many fun water slides that I've never experienced before! I played all day long and had a great time♪ However, most of the attractions require you to climb up hills and stairs, and many of them involve carrying large and heavy inner tubes yourself to slide down, so I was completely exhausted, more than during any other part of my trip to Hawaii. It might be tough for those who aren't very fit. But it's definitely worth a visit; I had so much fun!!

今までに経験したことのない楽しいウォータースライダーが沢山！１日いっぱい、遊び通しました。とっても楽しかった♪ただ、ほとんどのアトラクションが坂道＆階段をかけのぼらなくてはいけなく、浮き輪も大きくて重たいものを自分達で運んで滑りおりてくるものがおおいので、ハワイ旅行の中でもダントツでグッタリしました。体力のない人には辛いかもー
でも、一度は言ってみるべきですね、とっても楽しかったです！！

I participated in December. Since it was the beginning of the season, I thought the chances of seeing anything were low, and indeed, I didn't see much. I think I caught a glimpse of a dolphin. The boat was comfortable. For those who didn't see anything, they seem to offer retry tickets valid until April (during this season), but since I can't come to Hawaii that often, I hope they can make it valid for next year as well...

12月に参加しました。
シーズンの初めだったので、見られる可能性は低いと思っていましたが、
やはり見られませんでした。
いるかがちょっと見えたような。
船は快適でした。
見られなかった人には、4月まで（今シーズン中）のリトライのチケットをくれるようですが、
そんなに頻繁にはハワイにこられないので、
来年も使えるようにしてくれるとよいと思うのですが・・・

The sea was not as beautiful as I expected, and there were too many Japanese staff and customers, so it didn't feel foreign at all. However, the staff were kind, and the lunch was delicious.

思ったより海もきれくなくて、スタッフも日本人でお客さんも日本人多すぎて外国感がなかったです。
でもスタッフも優しく昼食はおいしかったです。

I had a great time! In beach volleyball, I was able to assist well and forgot my age while mingling with the young people. I also got to see turtles and there were many beautiful fish, which was wonderful.

楽しめました!!ビーチバレーでは、アシストが上手く若者に混じって年を忘れさせてくれました。亀も見れたし、キレイな魚も沢山いてたし、良かったです。

My 79-year-old mother also participated. Although we signed up after arriving at the location, we were able to make a reservation smoothly. Other than the meeting point being a bit hard to find, there were no problems at all. We were surrounded by beautiful sea and sky, and we had a wonderful time; my mother was very satisfied! Also, the captain was incredibly cool!

79歳の母も一緒に参加しました。現地に着いてからの申込みでしたが、スムーズに予約も取れました。
当日は集合場所が少しわかりにくい他は何も問題もなく、とにかく綺麗な海と空に囲まれ、素敵な時間を過ごすことができ、母も大満足でした！
あと、船長さんはものすごくカッコ良いです！

The experience at the sandbar was precious, but I was surprised when a sea turtle came close while I was snorkeling. I also had a great time trying paddle surfing! Next time, I want to participate with my family!

サンドバーでの体験も貴重ですが、シュノーケリングをして、すぐそばまでウミガメが近づいてきてくるのにはびっくりしました。また、パドルサーフィンの体験もさせて頂きとっても楽しかったです！！今度は家族でも参加したいです！！

From the moment we got on the boat we knew this would be a great trip. We only had 9 people on a boat that holds 50!!!I have been on many Snorkeling excursions that are over crowded so this was quite the treat to have so much room. We had a wonderful time on the trip ! The staff was very attentive and helpful and made you feel very comfortable the whole day. We got to see lots of turtles! The food was great and there was plenty of it to go around. The guys were constantly asking if they could get you anything or do anything to make the trip more comfortable for you. Weather was perfect and the water was nice and warm. It does not get much better than this. I would highly recommend this excursion!

The bus tour guide was great but quite disappointed in the Center. Did not seem authentic Polynesian at all. The best time was the fire dance part of the show. The rest I could've skipped. Didn't feel like I learned anything real about the different cultures which was disappointing.

Don't just settle for the ocean in Hawaii! I was greedy and went to the pool. Since there was a shuttle service, we went straight from the hotel to the pool. Choosing the plan that included meals and drinks on-site was definitely the right choice!

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a large-sized juice holder as a gift, which was great for carrying around. Also, my partner's first bodyboarding experience was hilarious! In the end, they managed to ride the board well (^o^).

I highly recommend this for families with small children. Sunscreen and comfortable beach sandals are essential items.

ハワイの海だけではもったいない！と欲張ってプールへ。送迎付きなのでホテルからプールまで直行。施設内の食事＆飲み物付プランを選んで正解！
なんとラージサイズ以上のジュースホルダーがプレゼントされ、どこへでも持ち運びできるのが良かったです。
また、相方の初ボディーボード体験は爆笑！最後は上手に乗れてましたよ(^o^)
小さなお子様や、家族連れの方には絶対おすすめです。
日焼け止めと、歩きやすいビーチサンダルは必須アイテムです。
