All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We participated as a family.

The crew members were all kind, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, which eased my worries since I had an elementary school child with me. They seemed to have a lot of fun seeing the sea turtles.

Thank you very much.

家族で参加させていただきました。

クルーの方、皆さん親切で日本語スタッフの方もいて、小学生の子供がいて心配でしたが、海亀見れてとても楽しそうでした。

ありがとうございました。

We went all the way to Diamond Head and anchored for a long time near Waikiki Beach. They said there were whales, but even after anchoring for almost an hour, we couldn't see any. It's said that whale breathing lasts 20 to 40 minutes, so if they were nearby, we should have been able to see them... I felt the same while looking from the hotel at Waikiki Beach. From this point, it seems like you could see them with a telescope from places like the Hyatt & Beach or Sheraton.

ダイアモンドの先まで行き、ワイキキビーチ行きで長く停泊。クジラがいるということでしたが、1時間近く停泊したが見えなかった。
クジラの呼吸は20〜40分と言われているため、近くにいるなら見えるはずだが…。
ワイキキビーチ沖ではホテルから眺めても同じと感じた。　このポイントならHYATT&Beachやシェラトンなどからなら望遠鏡で見えそうです。

It was my first time snorkeling, and I'm really glad I experienced it! The ocean was beautiful, and I even encountered a sea turtle!

初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、本当に体験してよかったです！
海は綺麗で、ウミガメにも出会えました！

On the first night of my first trip to Hawaii, I attended a buffet and show. After arriving in Waikiki, I quickly went shopping and got my outfit ready before heading to the buffet. The food was delicious, and it was fun to be invited by the staff to dance together at the end.

After the meal, everyone was excited about the diverse show. I felt moved by the professionalism of the performance, but I hesitated to share too much about the content to avoid spoilers.

On the way back, I was able to take commemorative photos with the dancers, making it a valuable experience. It really immerses you in the spirit of Hawaii!

初ハワイの初日の夜にビュッフェ&ショーを持ってきました。ワイキキに入ってから早速ショッピングに出かけて、衣装も揃えて先ずはビュッフェへ。料理は美味しくて、最後はスタッフより声を掛けられて一緒に踊るのも楽しかったです。
食後は多彩なショーにみんな大盛り上りでした。内容に触れるとネタバレ的になるとどうかな？と思うので、プロ意識の高いショーに感動を覚えました。
帰りにはダンサー達と記念撮影もできて、価値ある体験だったと思います。
一気にHawaii 化しますよ。

I had a great time! The fire was impressive and amazing! The food was delicious and there was plenty that the kids could eat!

とても楽しかった！
ファイヤーも迫力があって凄かった！
ご飯も子供達が食べれるのばかりで美味しかったです！

Activité à ne pas manquer! Chaque site était extraordinaire, beaucoup d’informations , très culturel! Le spectacle en fin de soirée à lui seul vaut le prix du billet, à couper le souffle

Je le recommande a tous

A dinner show is something you definitely want to experience at least once when you come to Hawaii. This time, I went to "Rock-a-Hula"!

When I arrived at the venue, the staff greeted me with a smile and placed a lei around my neck, instantly putting me in a Hawaiian mood. There was a hula lesson, and even beginners can easily learn some simple steps. Dancing together creates a sense of unity and is so much fun!

Additionally, there was a time for each group to play the ukulele. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it enjoyable even for those who are trying the ukulele for the first time.

The staff primarily speak English, but when I mentioned I was Japanese, they responded with a friendly "Hello!" in simple Japanese. The menu also had Japanese options, and there were quite a few Japanese guests, which made me feel at ease.

Dinner was served buffet-style, and the meat they grilled right there was particularly juicy and delicious.

After the meal, it was finally showtime! The show was a fusion of rock and Hawaiian music, and the performance of Michael Jackson was astonishingly similar to the real thing! The recreation of his dance moves and gestures was impressive, and there were loud cheers from the audience.

Moreover, the fire show was thrilling and kept everyone on the edge of their seats! The energy from the stage was palpable, and it was incredibly exciting.

ハワイに来たら一度は体験してみたいディナーショー。今回は「ロック・ア・フラ」に行ってきました！
会場に着くと、スタッフさんが笑顔でレイをかけてくれて、気分が一気にハワイアンモードに。
フラレッスンがあり、初心者でも簡単なステップを教えてもらえます。みんなで踊ると、一体感が生まれて楽しい！
さらに、グループごとにウクレレ演奏の時間もありました。初めてウクレレに触れる人でも気軽に楽しめる雰囲気です。
スタッフさんは基本英語ですが、「日本人です」と伝えると「こんにちは！」と簡単な日本語で対応してくれました。メニューも日本語があり、客層も日本人が多めだったので安心感があります。
ディナーはビュッフェスタイルで、特にその場で焼いてくれるお肉がジューシーで美味しかったです。
食事が終わると、いよいよショータイム！
ロックとハワイアンが融合したショーで、特にマイケル・ジャクソンのパフォーマンスは驚くほど本人にそっくり！
ダンスや仕草の再現度が高く、客席からも大きな歓声が上がっていました。
さらに、火を使ったショーは迫力満点で、ハラハラドキドキの連続！ステージの熱気が伝わってきて大興奮でした。

The way this show was organized and put together was amazing. We enjoyed every aspect of the show. They made it feel like you were a part of the performance the entire time. The only reason I gave the good rating was because the photographer didn't take enough time arranging our family of 17 so you could see everyone in the photo. Also she quickly snapped the two pictures before we were ready so eyes were closed in both pictures. We also wanted individual family photos and she wouldn't do it for us. She would have made more money by all of us buying a photo package. The food was OK, it was a little cold and the pork was dried out.

It included transportation, but since it didn't stop at our hotel, we walked to the hotel across the street. The large bus arrived on time and took us to the boarding area!

As soon as we got off the bus, we boarded the boat and took some commemorative photos! Later, a staff member came around to show us the pictures they took! We decided to purchase one as a keepsake (laughs). Then, we enjoyed the breakfast we had been looking forward to. The morning coffee was really great!

Inside the boat, the air conditioning was on, so I think short sleeves might feel a bit cold.

We received an explanation about the whales from the captain and headed to the deck! The blue of the ocean was something you can't feel in Japan, and the view of Waikiki getting farther away! Plus, Diamond Head was clearly visible! I was already satisfied with just that.

And on that day, we were able to see whales! In fact, multiple times!!! We even encountered a mother and baby whale! There is a limit to how close you can get, so they were a bit far, but we could still see them!

The captain announced the direction of the whales, so everyone moved in unison to follow the report. Even if you don't understand English, you'll be fine just following everyone!

Before we knew it, it was time to disembark, and we took the bus back to the hotel.

Personally, I thought it was really great! It was nice to relax on the boat in the Hawaiian sea, and seeing the whales was truly moving! Since it was a large boat, I don't think you would get seasick (but it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case).

There were plenty of restrooms! They weren't super clean, but it was totally fine! I want to go again!

送迎付きでしたが、自分たちのホテルには止まらなかったので向かい側にあるホテルまで歩きました🌴時間通りに大型バスが迎えに来てくれて、乗り場まで連れてってくれました！

バスに降りてすぐに船に乗り、まずは記念撮影！後ほど、係の人が回ってきて撮った写真を見せてくれます！私たちは記念に購入しました（笑）そして、楽しみにしてた朝食をいただきました🍍朝のコーヒーがめちゃくちゃよかったです☕️

船の中はクーラーがかかっていたので半袖は少し寒いと思います。

船長からクジラの説明を受け、デッキへ！
日本では感じられない海の青さ、遠くなっていくワイキキの街並み！そしてダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見える！これだけで満足でした😆

そしてこの日はクジラを見ることができました！しかも何回も！！！🐳親子のクジラにも遭遇しました！近づける範囲が決まってるので若干遠くはありますが見える！！！

船長が◯時の方向だよとアナウンスしてくれるので、みんなその報告を受けて一斉に移動📢英語がわからなくてもみんなについていけば大丈夫です！！！

あっという間に下船になり、バスに乗ってホテルへ戻りました。

個人的にはめちゃくちゃよかったです！とにかくハワイの海で船に乗りながらのんびりできたのもよかったし、クジラも見れて感動しました！大きな船なので船酔いもしないかなと思います！（一応酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が🙆‍♀️）

トイレもたくさんありました！すごく綺麗なわけではないですが、全然大丈夫です！また行きたいです🌴🤙

I was a bit worried because it rained the day before, but on the day itself, it was sunny and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea. Thank you very much.

前日が雨だったので少し心配してましたが、当日は晴れていてとってもきれいな海を楽しむことができました。
ありがとうございました。

It was a bit cold due to the strong winds, but I was able to encounter sea turtles. The cute Japanese staff member explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel at ease and allowed me to enjoy the experience. Thank you very much! ^_^

強風で少し寒かったですが、しっかりウミガメにも遭遇できました。日本人スタッフのかわいいお姉さんがしっかり日本語で説明してくれるので、安心しながら楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました^_^

I felt the desire to experience a different culture at least once during my trip, so I made a reservation. The venue was located inside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which was easily accessible, and I was able to find it without getting lost! Before the show, we enjoyed a buffet with a wide variety of dishes, including some very large pieces of meat, which left us extremely satisfied! During the meal, we could also watch the dance performances, and those who wanted to join in could dance along, which was a lot of fun!

We were able to sit in the front row in the center for the show, and I was moved by the powerful performances. It was a memorable show that I highly recommend!

旅行中に１回は異文化に触れたいと感じ予約をしました。会場はロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内でアクセスしやすく、迷うことなくたどり着くことができました！ショーの前にビュッフェをいただきましたがお料理も種類豊富で非常に大きなお肉もあり大満足でした！食事中もダンスをみることができ、希望者は一緒に踊ることもできたので楽しかったです！
ショーも真ん中１列目でみることができ迫力ある演目に感動しました。
思い出になるショーでおすすめです！

The venue was compact, so the stage was close and had a powerful impact. I was captivated by the Hawaiian-themed performance, and it became a wonderful memory of my trip.

会場がコンパクトなので舞台が近く迫力がありました。ハワイらしい演出に魅了され、旅の良い思い出になりました。

Upon entering, I simply presented the voucher at the reception, and I was guided without any issues. The dishes were just the right amount—not too many, and certainly not too few—and I enjoyed the familiar flavors as always.

入店時にバウチャーを受け付けで提示するだけで、問題なくご案内いただけました。
お料理も多すぎることなく、もちろん少なすぎるわけでもなく、いつもながらのお味で楽しめました。

I participated with excitement, knowing that whales come to the waters off Hawaii only during the winter months for calving and raising their young. I was able to see the baby whales a few times! However, they were far away and small, and it was just for a moment, so if I could wish for more, I would have loved to see them even more. Nevertheless, the weather was great, and the cruise itself was very comfortable, allowing me to have the best time. Thank you to all the staff!

鯨が出産、子育てにハワイ沖に来る冬の時期だけということで、ワクワクしながら参加しました。
赤ちゃんを何度か見ることができました！でも遠くて小さい、しかも一瞬なので、欲を言えばもっともっと見たかったです。
ですがお天気もよく、クルーズ自体がとても快適で、最高の時間を過ごすことができました。スタッフのみなさん、ありがとう！

I participated in a meeting that started in the afternoon around December 20th. There were two groups of Japanese people, including us, and the rest were other Asian individuals. The person who spoke Japanese was wonderful, so it wasn't a problem that we couldn't speak English. The weather was perfect for December, with no wind, and we could see the clear sea! After playing with the SUP and ball for about an hour, we all went snorkeling together. We saw about five sea turtles, and it was difficult not to get too close because we saw so many! The guides were fantastic!

12月20日ごろの午後スタートの会に参加しました。
日本人は私たち含め、2組であとは他のアジア系の方でした。
日本語が話せる方が素敵な方なので、英語が喋れなくても問題ないです。
天候は12月では最高のタイミングで、風もなく、透明に海が見えました！
1時間くらいはSUPやボールで遊んだらしたりしたあと、みんなでシュノーケルをしました。
ウミガメも5匹くらい見て、接近しないようにするのが難しかったくらい、たくさん見れました！
ガイドさんたちが素敵です！

This was my third trip to Hawaii, and for the first time, I participated in a solo trip. The large bus arrived right on time at the Sheraton hotel 🚌. This time, the tour was made up entirely of international guests.

When we boarded the Star of Honolulu, the captain welcomed us. There was a photo opportunity with the crew as we entered the ship. Later, the crew developed the photos and offered them for sale. I think it was around $26. Many people chose not to buy them, but I purchased one as a keepsake. By the way, they only accept credit cards.

Once on board, I quickly enjoyed some drinks and light snacks. There was a booklet with explanations about whales in Japanese, which I skimmed through, followed by an explanation from the captain about the whales. As the ship set sail, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was absolutely wonderful.

After a while, the captain announced over the intercom, "There are whales at the direction of ◯ o'clock (in English)," and everyone hurriedly pointed their cameras to look. Fortunately, we encountered a mother and calf whale. It was a bit disappointing that we only saw them spouting water and didn’t get to see any larger movements, but just being able to encounter them was great. I made sure to capture it on video.

We were blessed with beautiful weather, making it the best cruising experience!

ハワイ渡航歴3回目にして、初めてひとり旅で参加。シェラトンのホテルまで大型バスが時間きっちり到着🚌
今回は海外の方ばかりのツアーでした。
スターオブホノルル号乗船の時に船長が出迎え。
船内に入る際にクルーから記念撮影があります。
後でクルーが現像してくれて販売してくれます。たしか26$だったかな。
買わない人が多かったですが、私は記念に購入。
ちなみにクレジットカードのみです。

船内に入って早速飲み物と軽食をいただきました。日本語のクジラの説明などが書いた冊子がありさらっと読んだ後、船長からクジラに関する説明。
船が出航し、海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドがとてもよかったです。

しばらくすると、船長が船内放送で「◯時の方向にクジラがいます(英語)」と放送されるとみんな慌ててカメラを向けて探します。
運良く親子のクジラに遭遇できました。
今回は潮吹きだけで、大きい仕草を見れなかったのは残念でしたが、遭遇できただけでもよかったです。
しっかり動画に収めました。

お天気にも恵まれ最高のクルージングになりました。

Cirque du Soleil Hawaii put on a masterful show of graceful acrobatics and other tricks accompanied by beautiful island music. Well done.

There were thrilling action-packed shows and entertaining performances that made me laugh, and I had an amazing time.

手に汗握るアクション的なショーもあり、笑ってしまうようなエンターテイメントもあって、最高な時を過ごせました。

We booked the Captain Bobs experience and it was 10/10. We played volleyball, went snorkeling and had a BBQ lunch. The crew was super sweet and professional!!!

Although it was a small space, I was captivated by the dynamic performances and composition, losing track of time while enjoying it. I'm looking forward to the next performance in Japan!

こじんまりした空間ながら躍動感ある演技と構成に魅了され時間を忘れて楽しめました。次回日本での公演楽しみにしています！

We didn’t see much through the glass bottom areas but were able to see lots of fish and even turtles swimming next to the boat! My daughter was too young to snorkel and this was the perfect option for us.

I was anxious about whether we would be able to see anything, but the captain explained everything in detail, and we were all moved to be able to go see it together. The banana coconut cake was delicious, and the kids were satisfied after eating it and seeing the whales. I thought it might be expensive, but we were satisfied with the boat, the cake, and the coffee, and we made wonderful memories in Hawaii.

見れるかわからないと不安だったけど、キャプテンが、細かく教えてくれて、みんなで見に行けて感動した。
バナナココナッツケーキが美味しくて、子供達は食べてクジラも見れて満足していた。高いかなと思ったけど、船もケーキとコーヒーも満足でハワイのいい思い出ができた

I encountered a rock and hula show during a peaceful Hawaiian sunset. The passionate melodies of the guitar and the powerful beats of the drums awakened a deep passion within me, creating a moment where the entire audience felt like one, experiencing a miraculous dream. Wrapped in the magic of music, it became the best experience that never got boring, and that moment became a lifelong treasure.

I felt a refreshing fusion of hula dance and rock.

At the buffet before the show, exquisite dishes made from local ingredients were lined up, creating a flavorful experience.

After the show, the expressions of the audience soaking in the afterglow were filled with satisfaction and happiness, making it the best experience etched in my heart.

It's one of the activities I want to participate in again when I come back to Hawaii!

ハワイの穏やかな夕暮れで、ロックアフラのショーに出会いました。ギターの熱い旋律とドラムの力強いビートが、心の奥底に眠る情熱を呼び覚まして、観客全員が一体となる瞬間に、夢のような奇跡を感じました。音楽の魔法に包まれ、飽きのこない最高の体験となり、その瞬間が一生の宝物となりました。
フラダンスとロックの融合を感じることが出来、とても新鮮さを感じました。
ショーの前のビュッフェでは、地元の食材を生かした絶品料理が次々と並び、味わい深い一時を演出していました。
ショーが終わった後、余韻に浸る観客の表情は満足感と幸福で溢れており、心に刻まれる最高の体験になりました。
またハワイに来た際には、参加したいアクティビティの1つです！

It was an emotional experience.
The seat was in the middle of the fourth row on the right side from the stage. I think it was just the right distance from the stage, not too close and not too far.
Every performance was wonderful, and there were also productions happening in the aisles, so I enjoyed it very much even though I wasn't sitting directly in front. In fact, if you sit directly in front, you might not be able to see the productions in the back aisle very well?

感動的な体験でした。
席は舞台から見て右側の4列目の真ん中です。近すぎず、遠すぎず、舞台に丁度いい距離感だと思います。
どの演出も素晴らしくて、舞台だけではなくて、通路にも演出を行なってたので、真正面の席じゃなくてもとても楽しめました。むしろ、真正面ですと、後ろの通路の演出あまり見れないかもしれません？

The participation day was very few, and it was almost like a private charter. The weather was nice, and the sea was so clear that I could see the bottom. I could even see fish resting on the seabed! There were also a few turtles swimming, which was amazing!

The boat has a restroom, but I didn't use it, so I can't say if it's clean. However, I saw a few others using it. You can buy drinks on board (soft drinks and alcohol), and they also mentioned that snacks are available for free. I tried the recommended snacks, and they were truly free.

After the experience, there aren't many places to change out of your swimsuit, but the restroom on the first floor of the hotel where the reception is located was not locked, so I could change there. No one seemed to get seasick during the sailing. Depending on the time, you might see dolphins jumping in the distance, and in February and March, you can also see whales. On the day of the experience, I spotted dolphins and whales a bit far away while sailing!

参加日はとても少なくほぼ貸し切り状態でした。天気ぐ良く海も底が見えるまで透き通っていました。海底で休んでいる魚も見えました！亀も数匹泳いでおり最高でした！
船にはお手洗いもありますが使用していないので綺麗かは分かりません…。他の方は何人か使用されていました。後払いですが飲み物も船上で買えます。(ソフトドリンクやお酒など)またスナック菓子を無料で食べてねと言われます。おすすめを食べましたが本当に無料でした。
体験後、水着を着替えるところはあまりありませんが受付のあるホテルの一階のお手洗いはロックがかかっておらず使用できたのでそこで着替えることも出来ます。セーリングで酔っている方も居ませんでした。時間によってはイルカが跳ねているところが遠くに見えたり、2~3月はクジラも見れたりします。体験日はセーリング中にイルカやクジラが少し遠くに見えました！

It was soo fun the crew members where so nice and kind to everyone and at the end they told us where some things were made in the island that was cool.

The large ship was stable with little rocking, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. The pineapple banana bread at breakfast was very delicious.

We were able to see whales swimming several times, and the scenery was wonderful.

The ship's staff were very kind, and although it was a two-hour cruise, we were able to spend it comfortably.

It was a spacious ship, and those in wheelchairs were able to board without any issues, and there were also many families with small children.

大きな船で揺れも少なく、安心して楽しむことができました。
朝食のパイナップルバナナブレッドがとてもおいしかったです。

クジラが泳いでいるのが何度か見れて、景色も素晴らしかったです。

船のスタッフさんたちはとても親切で、2時間ほどのクルーズでしたが、快適に過ごすことができました。

ゆったりした船で、車いすの方もそのままで乗船できていましたし、小さなお子様連れの方もたくさんいました。

The reception started at 8:00, boarding was from 8:45, and the schedule for departure was set, but the reception was quite relaxed, so arriving around 8:30 is safe. Just showing the reservation confirmation email was enough.

The cabin was quite spacious. Seats near the windows are popular, so if you prefer a window seat, it's best to line up early for boarding. The pineapple banana bread that came with the service was really delicious, and I had a second helping. Coffee, tea, and water were also available for free.

As for the whales, I was able to see them more times than I expected! However, they appeared small and far away (due to a Hawaiian treaty that prohibits getting too close to marine life. It's okay if the whales come close to you, and if you're lucky, you might see them up close). So, it's important to listen carefully to the captain's announcements like "You can see a whale in the direction of 〇〇 o'clock."

The captain also announced when sea turtles were swimming by, but I couldn't spot them.

The ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was able to make good use of the morning time, which was very nice.

8:00受付開始、8:45〜乗船、出航のスケジュールでしたが、受付はかなりゆるいので、8:30くらいに間に合うように行けば安心です。予約完了メールを見せるだけでOKでした。

客室内はかなり広いです。窓付近の席は人気なので、窓側がいい方は早めに並んで乗船した方が◎。サービスでついてくるパイナップルバナナブレッドがかなりおいしく、おかわりしました。コーヒー、紅茶、お水もフリーで飲むことができました。

肝心のホエールですが、思っていたより何度か見れました！ただ、船から遠いところで小さめに見えた（ハワイの条約で海の生物に近寄ってはいけないそうです。クジラなどから近寄ってくれるのはOKで、運が良ければすごく近くでみれるかも？）ので、「◯時の方向にクジラが見えます」など、キャプテンのアナウンスをしっかり聞いて見る必要があります。

ウミガメも泳いでいると度々キャプテンがアナウンスしていましたが、私はどこにいるか確認できず見れませんでした。

海がとにかく綺麗でした。朝の時間が有効活用できたのでとてもよかったです。

A new night experience in Hawaii!
I finally got to see the Cirque du Soleil's "O" show (*´艸｀*)
It was absolutely amazing!!
If you print out the special voucher from Japan, it has a QR code that the staff scans, making the process smooth☆
(On the day of the show, there were staff members who spoke Japanese! The drink cups sold at the counter near the entrance that were recommended to me looked cool! There were also soft drinks available☆)
The content was packed and truly wonderful!
Next time I come to Hawaii with my friends, I want to take everyone with me (･ω･)b

新しいハワイでの夜のお楽しみ！
行ってみたかったシルク・ド・ソレイユのアウアナショー(*´艸｀*)
最高に良かったです！！
専用のバウチャーを日本からプリントアウトしていけばそこにQRコードが付いており、それをスタッフの方が読み込んでくれるのでスムーズでした☆
（当日は日本語を話せるスタッフの方もいらっしゃいました！おすすめしていただいた入り口付近のカウンターで売っているドリンクのカップ、カッコよかったです！ソフトドリンクもありました☆）
内容も盛りだくさんで本当素晴らしかったです！
また次回仲間とハワイへ来る際は皆を連れて行きたいなと思いました(･ω･)b
