All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

If you go on this tour, ask for bus 738. Patrick was our driver and guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgable and showed us a lot of interesting things and explained to us what we were being shown. When it came time for the tour Patrick had a handle on the process and made sure we knew what was expected during the actual memorial tour. Great job Royal Star!

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing...the most beautiful & picturesque sunset I have ever experienced in my life!
The buffet dinner was very nice, the fish was so fresh and just melted in your mouth, there were also pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, salad, veges and from memory Im sure there was rice. Unfortunately we did not experience the Hawaiian show nor the dessert (as the sunset captivated us for the time until the fireworks viewing!). My daughter (13 yrs old) and I thoroughly enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise.

First let me say that this cruise, the crew, and the food and drinks are all amazing, and that you should not hesitate in booking! I was looking for something fun for my husband and I to do for our 3 year anniversary, and I'm glad we picked this. Going through the process of actually ordering the tickets was a bit of a pain. We live here, but the website kept asking about our flights and hotel, so that was a bit annoying. But, we finally got our voucher for the sail and it was confirmed very quickly. The company even called a few times to make sure we were all set. When we got onboard the crew was fantastic and started serving up the drinks and food immediately. Woohoo! The water was absolutely beautiful, and I got to see some marine life that I haven't seen before in my 4 years as a Hawai'i resident. The crew was also very good about making sure we were safe at all times, which made us feel like we were in good hands. All in all, it was a great experience and we would happily pay to go again.

This time, I entered early. Thanks to that, I was able to ski a lot without waiting! By around noon, there was a line, so I was glad I managed my time well.

今回はアーリータイムで入場しました。おかげで待たずにたくさん滑れました！昼くらいには行列ができていたので時間を上手に使えて良かったです。

My boyfriend and I came across this website while vacationing in Oahu. We were looking online for snorkeling tours, but most were out of our budget. When we came across this website we were excited that we had found a good deal. The process was super easy! All we did was input the date we wanted to go and purchased our tickets. When we arrived at the boat harbor we had no problem presenting our online confirmation and getting right on the boat. The crew on the boat were very hospitable and made sure we had a memorable experience. The snorkel spot was breathtaking! Especially vein so close to the endangered green sea turtles. We saw well over a dozen of them and sometimes they came rather close to us. After snorkeling for a little over an hour we hopped back on the boat and the crew served us lunch and drinks (including alcohol). There was no charge for anything on the boat, including the alcohol. We then went for a scenic sail around Diamond Head and relaxed out on the front of the catamaran. This was one of the best days of our vacation! We would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Oahu and looking for some great snorkeling!

I had learned about the sandbar from magazines and television, and I was really looking forward to visiting it at least once. Initially, I had signed up with a different tour company, but since it was fully booked, I switched to this tour, and it was the right decision. The sandbar, with its white sand emerging from the marine blue sea, was even more beautiful and mystical than I had imagined. It felt very strange to be walking on the water. The sea turtles swimming leisurely were adorable. Above all, the crew made a strong impression. They were friendly, cheerful, energetic, and had wonderful smiles, just like the sun and sea of Hawaii. There was an old man with white hair and a bald head among us guests, and they seemed to feel sorry for him, treating him with care. Thank you, Yukiko. I will come to see you again, so please remember me.

雑誌やテレビでサンドバーを知り、一度は行ってみたいと思っていましたのでとても楽しみにしていました。当初は別のツアー会社に申し込みましたが満員ということでこちらのツアーに変えたのですが、大正解でした。サンドバーはマリンブルーの海の中に白い砂が現れて想像以上に美しく神秘的、海の上を歩いている感じがとても不思議でした。ウミガメはのんびりと泳いでる姿が愛らしかった。なんといっても印象的だったクルーのみんな。フレンドリーで明るくて元気、笑顔がとても素敵な、ハワイの太陽と海のようなクルーたちでした。私たちゲストの中で浮いていた白髪とはげのおじさん、かわいそうに思ったのでしょう、介護してくれるように接してくれました、ゆきこさんありがとう。また会いに行きますので覚えていてくださいね。

The staff were friendly, and I was able to have a great time. I enjoyed both the sandbar and snorkeling. Thank you.

スタッフがフレンドリーで楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。
サンドバーも、シュノーケルも楽しめました。
ありがとう。

Not only did they take us to the beautiful Angel's Sea, but the tour guides also kept the atmosphere lively with their talks during the cruise, which made it so much fun. Snorkeling in the stunningly beautiful sea was an incredible experience! Next time, I want to try a tour that allows for even more marine sports!

ただ天使の海へ連れて行ってくれるだけでなく、クルージング中も添乗員の方々がトークで盛り上げてくれてとっても楽しめました。綺麗すぎる海でのシュノーケリングは楽しすぎて…！！次回はもっとマリンスポーツを楽しめるツアーにチャレンジしてみたくなりました！

We had so much fun on this snorkel sail. Actually the day before the sail was supposed to happen the company called and said there was an issue with the boat and that that particular cruise was not going to be running that day. I had no other day that we could do it as it was a birthday surprise for my friend and our schedules were way too busy after that day to fit it in. They quickly offered to change our reservation for the dolphin snorkel sail that same day with no charge to us. It worked out perfect! The crew was totally awesome and we got to snorkel so close to dolphins. THe entire vibe on the boat was so much fun with jokes from the crew and their service was great. AMazing lunch and breakfast. I would definitely go again!

Five adults were very satisfied (^o^)
It was three times more fun than we expected!
Next time, I want to ride during the sunset ^_^
We couldn't jump in because it was full on the day, so making an online reservation was definitely the right choice ^_^

大人５人大満足(^o^)
予想の3倍楽しかったですよ！
つぎはサンセットで乗りたいです^_^
飛込みは当日は満員で無理でした。ネット予約して大正解でした^_^

This is my fourth time in Hawaii, and I've used this service three times. I recommend it for the afternoon of the first day. It's a large catamaran, so there's not much rocking, which makes it安心 (safe).

ハワイは4回目ですが　内3回利用しています　
初日の午後にお勧めです
大型のカタマランですので　揺れもさほどなく
安心です　

Originally, I wanted to join a private charter boat tour, but I couldn't make a reservation, so I participated in this tour instead. However, the boat for this tour was larger, which meant it had a restroom and we could take breaks during snorkeling. Since I was with my children, I ended up thinking it was a good choice. For lunch, I enjoyed a hamburger that was grilled on the boat, customized with my favorite toppings. The burger I made was delicious, and I was very satisfied. The scenery was, of course, amazing, and swimming with sea turtles made it the best tour ever.

本当は、貸し切りのチャーター船ツアーで参加したかったんですが、予約出来ずこちらのツアーで参加させて頂きました。
でも、こちらのツアーの船の方が、大きい船だったので、トイレもあり、シュノーケリングの途中でも、休憩出来たりと、子供達との参加だったので、結果、良かったなと思いました。
お昼ご飯には、船上で焼いてくれたハンバーグを自分の好みの具と一緒に挟んで頂きました。
自分で、作ったハンバーガー美味しくて大満足でした。
景色は、もちろん、海ガメと一緒に泳げたりと最高のツアーでした。

We participated with our 4-year-old and 7-year-old children, as a couple in our 30s. The 7-year-old was able to enjoy many large attractions. There were plenty of thrilling slides that are perfect for kids who love roller coasters. The 4-year-old also had a great time without getting bored, thanks to the wave pool, lazy river, and a pool specifically for small children.

I noticed that the lifeguards were very strict, blowing their whistles loudly to warn against even minor dangerous behaviors (like small children going into deep areas). It seemed that a life jacket was mandatory for the 4-year-old in slightly deeper areas, and they were scolded for not wearing one. I think this contributes to fewer accidents (although it was a bit scary).

As for the slides, I usually struggle with roller coasters, but I rode some that were quite powerful and thrilling, and they were over in an instant (laughs). There wasn't even time to feel scared.

Since the sun is quite strong, I think it's especially important for small children to wear sunscreen and rash guards, or they could get burned (my husband had a tough time with sunburn afterward). Overall, it was a very good experience.

４歳と７歳の子供と、30代の夫婦で参加しました。
７歳の子供は、たくさんの大きなアトラクションに参加することが出来ました。
ジェットコースターなどが好きなお子様には、ぴったりのスリル満点の滑り台などが多かったです。
４歳の子供も、波のプールや、流れるプール、小さな子供専用のプールがあったので、退屈せずに楽しめました。
気がついたことは、プールの監視員がとても厳しく、少しの危険行為でもピー‼︎と大きく笛で注意していました。(小さな子供が深い所に行くなど)
４歳の子供も、少し深い所ではライフジャケットが必須のようで、怒られました。
その分、事故が少ないんだろうと思いました。(多少怖かったですが…)
滑り台も、普段ジェットコースターなどが苦手ですが、かなり迫力とスリルがあるものに乗りましたが、一瞬で終わるほどのスピードでした(笑)
怖さを感じる時間もありませんでした。
日差しがやはり強いので、日焼け止めやラッシュガードを着ていないと、火傷をしてしまう位ですので、小さなお子様は特に注意した方が良いと思いました。(主人がその後日焼けが大変でした)
総合的に、とても良かったです。

We signed up as a family of four with our 4-year-old and 7-year-old children. At Angel's Beach, the water was shallow enough for our 4-year-old to enjoy safely. The clarity of the seawater was so remarkable that it showed clearly in our phone photos.

The BBQ hamburgers for lunch were well-seasoned, and even our picky eaters enjoyed them, happily declaring them delicious!

Snorkeling took place in quite deep water, but the kids quickly got used to their life jackets, which they were initially scared of, and ended up having a great time. We were also able to see several sea turtles, which was very satisfying.

Since our guide was Japanese, the explanations were very clear, and they provided thorough information about the ocean, which can be intimidating. This was our first time in Hawaii, and we are glad we signed up for this experience.

４歳と７歳の子供と、夫婦の４人で申し込みしました。
天使の海では、４歳の子供でも足のつく位の深さで、十分に楽しめました。
海水の綺麗さは、携帯の写真で撮ってもはっきりわかるほどです。
昼食のBBQハンバーグも、ハンバーグにしっかり味がついていて、ソースなどの好き嫌いの多い子供も、美味しい！と喜んで食べていました。
シュノーケリングは、とても深い所で行われましたが、初めてつけたライフジャケットで、初めは怯えていた子供達もすぐに慣れて、楽しむことが出来ました。
ウミガメも何匹も見ることが出来て、大満足です。
案内の方が日本人の方だったので、とても分かりやすく、怖い海のこともしっかりと説明してくれました。
初めてのハワイでしたが、申し込んで良かったです。

I took my sixth grader with me.

I've been on the Heaven's Sea tour before, but if you want to relax, I think this tour is better! My child seemed to really enjoy snorkeling ^o^

For children under kindergarten age, if they are not very comfortable in the water, snorkeling might be scary and difficult. There were some kids crying, and we also cried when we were little.

It seems that snorkeling in areas where they can't touch the bottom feels frightening.

小学6年生を連れて行きました。

天国の海ツアーにも行ったことがありますが、のんびりしたいのであれば、こちらのツアーの方が良いと思います！
子供はシュノーケリングがとても楽しかったようです^o^

幼稚園以下のお子さんだと、相当水に慣れていないとシュノーケリングは怖くて無理かもしれません。
泣いている子がいましたし、うちも小さい頃は同じように泣いていました。

足が届かないところでシュノーケリングをするのが恐怖に感じるようです。

We had a GREAT day on the water with Hawaii Nautical -- Josh, Barry and Nick. We felt like family -- it was like we'd known the crew for years. Especially great was getting 1-on-1 attention for 7-year old Jack during the snorkeling session -- made Jack feel very comfortable and confident in the big water despite the waves and the massive sea life below!

This tour is "Spectacular". It was way beyond expectation. The views from above are really breathtaking, and well worth the cost. You will not be disappointed!! This was my first helicopter tour and I couldn't be happier with it:)

I was able to easily experience a luau in Waikiki.
The show was very entertaining and authentic.
It became a wonderful memory for the whole family.

ワイキキで気軽にルアウを体験できました。
ショーはとてもおもしろく、本格的でした。
家族みんなのとてもいい思い出になりました。

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

I participated on 8/11 because I heard that there are fewer people on Mondays than on Sundays. That said, there were still quite a few people... but definitely fewer than at Waikiki Beach.

Upon arrival, we received about 20 minutes of explanation regarding lockers, rental equipment, and lunch, and then we were free to explore. The staff was fluent in Japanese, friendly, and had a great attitude, which made for a pleasant experience.

This time, I went with the purpose of enjoying the ocean, so I didn't go into town. (On a different day, I joined a tour to the North Shore and Kailua, where I did some shopping and had Kimo's pancakes.) If you're considering shopping in town, you might find that there's not enough time.

I thought about renting a bike to go to Lanikai Beach, but it became a bit of a hassle, so I ended up staying at Kailua Beach the whole time. However, I didn't have any trouble filling my time; I took naps on the sandy beach and walked along the coast.

For lunch, I had a meat plate lunch. It was simple, but the meat was tender and delicious!

日曜より月曜のほうが人が少ないという噂だったので、8/11に参加しました。
とはいえ、やはりだいぶ人はいましたが・・・。
ワイキキビーチよりは断然少なかったです。

現地に到着、ロッカーや貸出器具、昼食について20分ほど説明を受け、すぐに自由行動。対応スタッフは日本語がペラペラで愛想もノリも良く、気持ちのいい対応でした。

今回は海を目的に行ったので、街には行きませんでした。
（別日に、ノースショア＆カイルアのツアーに参加し、そちらで買い物やキモズのパンケーキを食べました。）
街で買い物も、と考えると、少し時間がたりないかもしれません。

自転車を借りてラニカイビーチまで行こうかとも思ったのですが、ちょっと面倒になり、結局ずっとカイルアビーチにいました、でも砂浜で昼寝をしたり、海岸をずっと歩いて行ってみたり・・・時間を持て余すことは無かったです。

お昼はお肉のプレートランチにしました。
シンプルですが、お肉が柔らかくておいしかった！

We entered at 10:30 and enjoyed all the activities. It was tough to carry the rubber boats, like the Tornado, with everyone, but we went multiple times with our kids, who are in 4th and 1st grade. We went by rental car, and after 3 PM, there were no more tour groups, so we were able to play until nearly 4 PM, past the closing time of 3:30. During that time, there were few customers, and we could enjoy everything as much as we wanted. The Shaka looks scary, but once you try it, you can do it over and over again. We had a fantastic day!

10:30から入場し、すべてのアクティビティを堪能しました。
トルネード等、自分の使うゴムボートを全員で運び上げなければならないのが大変でしたが、それでも小４、中１の子供たちと何度もいきました。
私たちはレンタカーで行ったのですが、15時過ぎになるとツアーできている人がいなくなり、その後、終了時間の15:30を超えて16時近くまで遊べました。その間はお客さんも少なくどれも遊び放題です。
シャカは見た目怖いですが、体験すると何度でもできるレベル。一日堪能できました。

I think the overall experience was very good. The sea was beautiful, and it wasn't inconvenient at all even though I couldn't speak English. However, the waiting times were too long, and since it was a vacation, I hope there will be less time spent just waiting around doing nothing. If it weren't for that, I would be very satisfied.

形態的にはとても良かったと思います。海もきれいだったし、英語も話せなくても全然不便ではなかったです。だが、待ち時間が長すぎて、せっかくのバケーションなので、なんにもなくぼーっと待つ時間が少なくなると良いと思います。それがなければ、満足です。

We love the dancers and the stories! It was awesome!

We enjoyed the time we had on this cruise. The staff, food and boat were great. The only issue we had was with another passenger who would push, shove and step on everyone around him. There were also tons of pictures of him on the available USB for sale and only handfuls of all the other passengers. The cruise we definitely recommend, the rude passenger could have been left on shore.

Very fun. Dinner was amazing. Show was amazing, crew was amazing. Very fun and I will do this again when I come back to Oahu.

Overall, it was not crowded, so the stress from waiting times at each attraction was minimal. However, it's disappointing that the operating hours are only from 10:30 AM to 3:30 PM (with one of the weekends extending to 4:30 PM). I had planned to rent a car and go directly to the site to enjoy the whole day, but it went by in a flash.

Regarding the "Deluxe Plan," although it claims to offer an all-you-can-eat lunch, the variety was extremely limited, and the taste was mediocre. It might be more fulfilling and a better value to order individually. However, the kids seemed very satisfied.

全体的に空いているので、各アトラクションでの待ち時間でのストレスは最小。
ただ、営業時間が10:30～15:30（土日どちらかが～16:30まで）と
限りなく短いのは残念。レンタカー借りて現地へ直接行き、終日楽しもうと思ってましたが、
あっという間でした。
「デラックスプラン」ですが、ランチ食べ放題といいつつも、種類は限りなく少なく、味もイマイチ、個別で注文して食べたほうが充実するしバリューかもですね。
子供には大満足のようでした。

I thought it would be crowded wherever we went, so we participated as a family of four on Sunday. The bus transfer was in English only. We exchanged our voucher for a wristband (with the schedule written on it) when our names were called. It seemed that the bus was just the right number of people, so those from hotels with later boarding times had to share seats, and some family members ended up sitting separately. For those from the farthest hotel, the ride took an hour, and after everyone boarded, there was a DVD explanation in various languages, but the screen was glitchy, and the content was completely unclear. There were no explanations for other attractions. Once we arrived, a Japanese guide explained the meaning of the wristband color, the return boarding time, and the method only.

At the entrance, there was a chaotic line for checking bags for drinks and food (which took quite a while), and everything had to be thrown away before entering. We received a water bottle for drinks, and then we had free time. There are benches with umbrellas only around the children's pool and the wave pool, but they are first-come, first-served. Other than that, there are benches without umbrellas or places to lay out a mat, so there are no resting spots, and you can easily get sunburned. The lines for the water bottles and meals were quite long (15 to 40 minutes), so I was glad we opted for an all-you-can-eat option that allowed us to eat at a shaded table without waiting.

For attractions that can accommodate more than four people, when you line up from the stairs, you receive a float when it gets closer to your turn. For everything else, you line up at the end point and receive floats from those who have finished before lining up again (the floats for the wave pool are first-come, first-served). It took some time to understand everything, but that’s part of the experience in a foreign country. The attractions were thrilling, and both sixth graders and high school students enjoyed them. During busy times, there might not be enough time to do everything.

どこに行って混むと考え、日曜日に家族4人で参加。
バス送迎は英語のみ。名前を呼ばれてバウチャーと交換に手首につけるテープ(スケジュールが書いてある）人数ぴったりのバスだったらしく、遅い乗車順のホテルの人は相席になり、家族一人ずつ座る方もいました。一番遠いホテルの人で乗車時間は１時間、全員乗車語に各言語でDVD説明がありますが異常に画面が飛んで内容は全く不明。他にアトラクションの説明はありませんでした。現地に着いたら日本語ガイドがテープの色の意味、帰りの乗車時間と方法のみを説明。雑然と並んで入場時に飲み物と食べ物の鞄チェック(結構並ぶ)をして全部捨てられてから入場。飲み物を入れる水筒をもらい、あとは自由行動。
　子供用のプールと、波のプールの周囲にのみパラソル付きのベンチがありますが、早いもの順です。それ以外はパラソルなしのベンチか、空き地にシートをはるかなどで休憩場所はなく、焼き放題です。水筒も食事もかなり並びます（15~40分）ので、並ばないし日陰のテーブルで食べられる食べ放題をつけてよかったと思いました。4人以上乗れるアトラクションは、階段上からの列に並ぶと乗る順が近づいたら浮き輪を渡されます。それ以外は、終了地点で並び、終わった人の浮き輪などをもらってから並ぶシステムです。（波のプールぬ浮き輪は早い者勝ち）
把握するのに手間取りましたが、それも外国ならでは・・。アトラクションはスリルもあり、小学6年生も高校生も楽しんでいました。混雑時は時間が足りないくらいかな。

One of the places I definitely wanted to visit when I went to Hawaii, so I did some research and signed up for this tour. Since it seemed to be a region where it rains often, I prepared myself for rain, but we were blessed with great weather and were able to enjoy the wonderful scenery.

At Heaven's Sea, not only could we enjoy the views, but there was also a hula dance lesson, which was a lot of fun.

After returning to the boat for lunch, while we were enjoying our meal, a sea turtle swam around the boat, and my child was so excited. As soon as we got into the water, the sea turtle approached us, and we got to touch its belly! It was truly an amazing experience.

My older child (a second grader) tried snorkeling but seemed to get scared when he saw how deep the water suddenly became, so he turned back midway. However, I think it was satisfying enough to enjoy the experience without having to snorkel.

ハワイに行ったら絶対行ってみたい場所の一つだったので、いろいろと下調べをして、このツアーに申し込みました。雨がよく降る地域のようだったので、雨が降ることを覚悟して参加しましたが、天気に恵まれすばらしい景色を堪能することができました。
天国の海では景色を堪能するだけでなく、フラダンスのレッスンがあったりして楽しめました。
船に戻ってランチでしたが、おいしくいただいているときにウミガメが船の周りをぐるぐると泳いでいて、子どもと大興奮でした。すぐに海に降りるとウミガメの方から近づいてきてくれて、おなかにタッチ！本当にすばらしい体験でした。
上の子（小学2年生）はシュノーケリングに挑戦しましたが、急に深くなっている海の中をみて怖くなったらしく、途中で引き返してきました。特にシュノーケリングをしなくても楽しめたので、無理に体験しなくても十分満足できると思います。

The facility was very satisfying for both adults and my two middle school sons.
Regarding the tour details (Deluxe Plan):
1. The Deluxe Plan included two bodyboarding experiences, but we could only participate in the second one at 1:30 PM. The bodyboarding experience was amazing, and both adults and children enjoyed it.
2. There was a baggage check upon entry, which took nearly 20 minutes before we could enter.
3. The departure was at 3:30 PM, but the gathering was at 3:15 PM, so we could only play until 3 PM.
4. The food court had quite a long line. The plan with barbecue had no wasted time for meals, which was great.
5. We went on a Friday, and there were many attractions with lines (about 10 minutes).
Personally, I think if we had an additional 30 minutes, we could have enjoyed it more, but that might have caused traffic on the way back. Therefore, I thought it would have been better to choose a plan for a Wednesday or another day that allows for earlier entry. I would like to choose that plan next time!

施設には大人も中学生の息子2人も大満足です
