All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I was worried, but I'm glad I was able to see the whales properly. The explanations in Japanese were easy to understand. I recommend it.

心配でしたが、クジラがちゃんと見られてよかったです。日本語の説明もあって分かりやすかったです。オススメです。

It was amazing!
The clarity of the water, the variety and size of the fish were truly impressive!
I even got to meet a honu and swim with it!

My English is at a basic education level, and that's fine.
The guide speaks slowly to make it easy to understand.
While driving, they introduce recommended shops.
We stopped at a parking area for a location explanation, then had time for a briefing on how to use the snorkel, swimming precautions, and ordering additional rental items.
We rented a boogie board, but other parties rented life jackets.

最高でした
透明度、魚の種類、大きさ本当に見応えがあります！
ホヌとも出会えて一緒に泳ぐことができました！！

英語は義務教育レベルで問題ないです。
ガイドさんがわかりやすいようにゆっくり話してくれます。
運転中はおすすめのお店の紹介。
一旦パーキングに止めてロケーションの説明の後シュノーケルの使い方遊泳時の注意、追加のレンタル品のオーダーの時間がありました。
うちはブギーボードレンタルしましたが、他のパーティはライフジャケットをみんなレンタルしてました。

The show itself was impressive and satisfying, but I was concerned about the cold indoors. It's better to bring a light long-sleeve shirt, even if you tend to get warm.

ショー自体は迫力満点で満足だったが、室内の寒さが気になった。
熱がりでも薄手の長そでを持って行った方が良い。

Originally, it was scheduled for January 30, but I received a call from Veltra the day before, asking me to change the date due to a warning being issued for the next day. So, I participated on February 1.
When I come to Hawaii, Hanauma Bay is an absolute must-visit and one of my favorite places. Although it was an early morning, I was able to enjoy it while there were fewer people. I encountered many fish and was very satisfied. The weather was great, and the view of Hanauma Bay from near the entrance was amazing!
Of course, I want to go again.

当初は1/30の予定でしたが、前日にベルトラさんから電話を頂き、明日は警報が出ているので日程を変更してくださいとのこと。そして2/1に参加させて頂きました。
ハワイに来たらハナウマ湾は絶対外せない大好きな場所。朝が早いけど人が少ないうちから楽しめました。たくさんの魚にも逢えて大満足でした。天候も良く、入場口付近から見たハナウマ湾は最高です！
勿論、また行きたいです。

I participated in the whale watching tour on the Star of Honolulu with a pickup from Waikiki (with snacks and drinks included). There were many participants on the large boat. Even though it was the rainy season in February, we were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the views of the blue sky and the deep blue sea from the boat. We also saw whales multiple times, including some mother and calf pairs, and got to witness them spouting water. It was a very satisfying whale watching experience. If you're coming to Waikiki, I highly recommend you join this tour!

ワイキキ送迎を付けてホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号（軽食＆ドリンク付き）に参加しました。
大型船で参加者もたくさんいました。
雨季の２月での参加でしたがお天気にも恵まれ、青く晴れた空と真っ青な海が広がる船からの景色を楽しめました。
またクジラも何度も現れて潮吹きも何度も見られました。
親子のクジラも現れ大満足のホエールウォッチングになりました。
ワイキキに来る方はぜひ参加してみてください！オススメです！

I participated in a trip with my mother and daughter. We arrived at Aloha Tower right at 8:00, but we couldn't board immediately and had to wait outside. The port's restroom was locked and unavailable for use.

The large ship has four decks, and after boarding, there was an explanation of whale watching in English, along with the offering of pineapple banana bread, coffee, tea, and water. I recommend going to get your food early as there is a line.

It took a while before we spotted any whales, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, making the cruise satisfying. After a while, we saw a whale spouting water, and we could see its tail and dorsal fin. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any big jumps.

The trip was on a Saturday, and we were able to disembark around 11:00, which allowed us to take a taxi to the Kaka'ako Farmers Market.

母、娘の二人旅で参加しました。
8時ちょうどにアロハタワーに着きましたがすぐには乗船できず外で待ち時間がありました。港のトイレは鍵が掛かっており利用できませんでした。
4階まである大きな船で、乗船後英語でホエールウォッチングの説明がありパイナップルバナナブレッドとコーヒー・紅茶・お水の提供があります。並ぶので早めに取りに行くことをおすすめします。
沖へ出るまでなかなかくじらは現れなかったですが、海から見えるワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドが美しくクルーズとして満足できました。
しばらくすると潮を吹いているクジラがおり、尾びれや背びれが見えました。残念ながら大ジャンプは見られませんでした。
参加日は土曜日で、11時頃には下船できたのでタクシーでカカアコファーマーズマーケットへ行く事ができました。

I have a tendency to get motion sickness, so I appreciated that this boat is large and has minimal rocking. We encountered whales a few times (and dolphins too). They explain which direction to look by comparing it to a clock, which makes it easy to understand. I also thought it was a nice cruise to see Waikiki and Diamond Head. However, since we didn't see the whales up very close, it's better not to have too high expectations in that regard.

乗り物酔いしやすい体質なので、こちらの船は大きく、揺れが少ないのがよかったです
クジラには何回か遭遇できました(イルカにも)
時計に例えてどっちの方角にいるかいってくださるのでわかりやすいです
ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドをみるクルージングとしてもありだと思いました
クジラはすごく近くで見られた訳ではないので、その辺は期待しすぎない方がよいです

The stage was close, and I could feel the breath and tension of the performers right in front of me. As expected from Cirque du Soleil, they skillfully blended Hawaii's nature with acrobatics. There was a sense of unity that brought people from all over the world together. The tall man in front of me noticed my height (156 cm) and kindly switched seats with the woman next to him. I was grateful for his gentlemanly behavior.

ステージが近く、目の前で行っている演者の息づかいや緊張感が伝わってきます。さすがシルクドソレイユ、ハワイの自然とアクロバットの融合を上手く演出していました。
世界中の人々とひとつになる一体感がありました。前の席の方が背の高い男性で、後ろの私(156cm)に気付き隣りの女性とチェンジしてくるました。紳士的行動にありがたかったです。

I think it would be beneficial to check the days when low tide coincides with the tour time, as participating then may enhance your satisfaction. While the dry season is likely the best time to join, I still had a great time even on a cloudy day.

I didn't mind the rocking of the boat. I took motion sickness medication, which seemed to help, and I was able to enjoy myself without feeling sick. The light snack of spam onigiri was delicious. There were also cocoa, miso soup, and snacks available, which made for a fulfilling experience.

In January, the weather was cloudy, so the sea felt cold, but I gradually got used to it. I participated in a swimsuit, rash guard, rash trunks, and reef shoes, which kept me comfortable. Each group received one stand-up paddleboard (SUP), allowing us to enjoy it to the fullest. The water was quite shallow, so there was no worry about drowning. After thoroughly enjoying the SUP, I joined the snorkeling activity. Even for first-timers, the staff provides support, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. I brought a GoPro, so I was able to capture videos underwater. I recommend bringing your smartphone in a waterproof case or a waterproof camera to take plenty of photos and videos. Many Japanese participants joined, and there were explanations in Japanese each time, with all the staff being very kind. Luggage is stored under the chairs by group, so it's advisable to bring a bag that can get wet since there is a possibility of getting splashed. There are no coin lockers, so it's best not to bring valuables like passports and to take only cash for tips and one credit card.

On the way back, the bus stopped at a malasada food truck, which only accepted credit cards, so if you want to enjoy malasadas, it's a good idea to bring a credit card.

I gave tips to the staff on the boat and also to the bus driver on the way back. It would be wise to prepare tips for both.

干潮がツアー時間と被る日を調べて、参加すると満足度が高まるかと思います。乾季の参加がベストかとは思いますが、曇りでも十分楽しめました。

船の揺れは気になりませんでした。酔い止めを飲んでいたのが効いたのか酔わずに楽しめました。
軽食はスパムおにぎりが美味しかったです。ココアや味噌汁、スナック菓子もあり充実しています。

1月の参加で天気も曇りでしたので海は冷たく感じましたがだんだんと慣れてきました。服装は水着+ラッシュガード、ラッシュトレンカ、リーフシューズで参加し、快適に過ごせました。SUPは1グループに1つ配られるので思う存分楽しむことができました。結構浅瀬なので溺れる心配もありませんでした。SUPを十分に楽しんだ後はシュノーケルに参加しました。シュノーケルが初めての人でもスタッフがサポートしてくれるので安心して楽しめます。GoProを持って行ったので海中の動画を撮ることができました。防水ケースに入れてスマホを持っていくか、防水カメラを持っていくと写真や動画がたくさん取れて楽しめると思います。日本人が多く参加しており、日本語での説明も毎回あり、スタッフは全員とても親切でした。荷物はグループごとに椅子の下にしまいます。水に濡れる可能性があるので水に濡れても良いカバンで参加するのがオススメです。コインロッカーはないので、パスポートなどの貴重品は持参せず、チップ分の現金とクレジットカード1枚だけ持って行くと良いと思います。

帰りのバスでマラサダのキッチンカーに寄ってくれて、そこは現金が使えず、クレジットガードのみだったのでマラサダを食べたい人はクレジットカードを持って行くと良いと思います。

チップは船上のスタッフさんに渡したのと、帰りにバスの運転手さんにも渡しました。それぞれ用意しておくのがいいかと思います。

Wonderful time!! Beautiful view of Waikiki and sunset. Also a whale sighting.

It was unfortunate that we encountered wind and rain during the rainy season.

First, everyone freely brought pineapple banana cake, coffee, and tea from the front of the first floor and enjoyed them at their seats. The cinnamon-flavored pineapple banana cake was very delicious.

After that, we listened to an explanation about whales using a translation app on our phones. We were then allowed to move freely up to the fourth floor of the ship, so we carefully made our way to the top observation deck and enjoyed the view.

Fortunately, the rain wasn't too heavy, so we were able to enjoy the scenery of Honolulu. We could see Diamond Head and the cityscape from the sea side. It was particularly meaningful for me since I had hiked up Diamond Head the day before on the same optional tour with Veltra, which took about 30 minutes.

The waves were high, and although we couldn't see the whales, we were able to spot their spouts several times. We saw the spouts relatively close by, and all the passengers were excitedly pointing at them. If the weather had been better, we might have seen even more.

The shuttle service was only available in the morning, allowing us to spend the afternoon leisurely, which was nice.

雨季の風と雨の日に当たってしまったのが残念でした。
まずは各自、自由に一階前方にあるパイナップルバナナケーキやコーヒー、紅茶を持って来て、座席で頂きました。シナモンの効いたパイナップルバナナケーキはとても美味しかったです。
そのあとクジラについての説明を携帯の翻訳アプリを使って聞きました。その後は船の４階まで自由に移動してよいとのことだったので、船の揺れに気をつけながら最上の展望階に上がり、眺めていました。
ただ雨は大半は大丈夫だったので、ホノルルの風景は楽しめました。ダイヤモンドヘッドや街並が海から側から眺められます。ダイヤモンドヘッドは前日同じベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーで、３０分かけて登った後だったので感慨深いものがありました。
波が高く、クジラは姿は確認出来なかったのですが、潮吹きを何度か見られました。割と近くで何度か潮吹きが見られたので、乗船客の皆んなが指を差して盛り上がっていました。天候に恵まれれば更に良く見えたかもしれません。
送迎付きは午前中だけで体験できるので、午後も有効にゆったり過ごせるので楽でした。

The Hawaii version of Cirque du Soleil "AUANA." The performances without safety ropes, high-altitude balancing, juggling, and skating—every performer was truly amazing! The entire show had a structure that made you feel the essence of Hawaii, and the sense of unity, as if all the guests were participating together, was really wonderful.

ハワイバージョンのシルク・ド・ソレイユ「AUANA」。命綱なしのパフォーマンスや高所のバランス、ジャグリングにスケートなど、どのパフォーマーも本当にすごい！の一言。演目全てにハワイを感じられる構成と、ゲストも全員で演じているような一体感がとても良かった。

The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and helpful. Not all of the slides are operational, but I think you can still enjoy some of them. If you're coming by car, please be aware that the parking fee is cash only.

日本語が話せるスタッフの方がとても親切で助かりました。スライダー系は全てが稼働しているわけではありませんが、一部でも楽しめるかと思います。
車で来る方は駐車料金が現金払いですので気をつけてください。

Premier seat reservation for a family of four.
I was hoping to be seated on the front side, but we ended up on the edge of the front row. I was worried about whether we would be able to see properly, but it turned out to be quite impressive because we were so close (though we did get a little splashed).
I think the theater has good visibility with steps in all the seats, but if you have small children, it might be wise to be careful with your seat selection. If a larger person from Europe or America sits in front of you, you might not be able to see.

プレミアシート予約　家族4人
正面側になれば良かったのですが、最前列の端側でした。ちゃんと見えるかなと不安でしたが、端側でも問題ないどころか近いためかなり迫力があります。(少し水が掛かります)
全ての席に段差があり見やすい劇場かと思いますが、小さいお子さんがいる場合は席の選択を気を付けたほうがいいかも。前の席に欧米のカラダが大きな方が座ると見えないかもしれません。

Good history lesson. Touching. Lots to do and see. Want to go back and see th e air museum

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

I have seen Cirque du Soleil about eight times around the world. This time, I watched it in Hawaii, and it was so moving that I was brought to tears. The precision of the performances was, of course, impressive, but each individual composition was also wonderful. My family who accompanied me was also touched. I highly recommend that whether you come to Hawaii for travel, study abroad, or business, you make sure to see it.

今までシルクドソレイユは８回ほど全世界で鑑賞してきました。　今回ハワイで鑑賞しましたが、涙が出るほど感動しました。　演技のキレはもちろんですが、一つ一つの構成が素晴らしかった。　同伴の家族も感動していました。　ぜひハワイに旅行、留学、ビジネスどれで来ても、鑑賞する事お勧めします。

I noticed the spouting from a distance and was able to see the back and tail fin as well! I happened to be in a spot where I could see it, but there were people on the same shuttle bus who said they missed it, so I wish there were more real-time broadcasts in Japanese.

遠くで潮吹きに気づき、背中と尾ヒレもなんとか見えました！！
たまたま見れる場所にいたので気づきましたが、同じ送迎バスの中で見れなかったと言っていた人がいたので日本語リアル放送がもっとあればいいなと思いました。

I participated in a tour that ended in the morning. The weather wasn't very good, and it was a bit chilly, but I didn't feel as cold as I thought I would when I got into the water. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and I encountered a turtle a couple of times. Additionally, there was a pod of dolphins a little further out, making it a satisfying tour in a short amount of time. Next time I come to Hawaii, I want to recommend it to my friends and join them.

午前中で終了するツアーでしたので参加してみました。余り良い天候ではなく、少し肌寒い気温でしたが海に入ると思ったより寒く感じませんでした。シュノーケリングでは様々な色の魚がたくさんいて、カメさんにも２度程遭遇デキました。更に少し先の方にはイルカの群れがいてたりと短時間で色々と満足デキたツアーでした。次回、ハワイに来た時には友人達に勧めて一緒に参加したいです。

5/5 stars! Celebrated my husband's birthday at Dolphin Quest Oahu and we had an absolute blast! Despite the windy weather, our whole family created unforgettable memories together!

5/5 stars! The Polynesian Cultural Center Tour was a trip highlight! Well-organized, easy to follow, and bursting with energy. The setting was perfection!

I enjoyed a thrilling and exciting time. My son, who is in his third year of middle school, was also happy. Although my reservation was confirmed, the email from Veltra only registered one ticket, so I had to pick up another ticket at the service counter. However, the staff were kind, and even though the two of us couldn't speak English, we were assisted without any difficulty. It seems better to head to the reception early, as there were many people who entered just before the show started. I also remember seeing a note that drinks could only be purchased inside the venue, but it was quite vague. When I asked the staff checking tickets if I could bring in a plastic bottle, they just ignored the question.

ハラハラドキドキの時間を楽しめました。
中学3年の息子も喜んでいました。
予約は通っていましたが、ベルトラさんから送られてきたメールでは1名分しかチケット登録されていなくて、サービスカウンターでもう一人分のチケットを受け取る必要が生じましたが、スタッフの方も優しくて、英語喋れない二人でも苦労なく対応してもらえました。
こういうこともあるので、早めに受付に向かう方が良さそうです。
ただ、ほとんどの方は開演直前になって入場して来られる感じでした。
また飲み物は店内購入以外持ち込めないような記載があった気がしますが、わりとアバウトで、ペットボトル持込可能かをチケット確認のスタッフに聞いたら、スルーでした。

The trolley is decorated for Christmas and Christmas songs are playing, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere than usual. City Lights has displays throughout its spacious grounds, including outside, but I found myself with too much free time. I thought it might have been better to go see it on our own rather than participating in the tour.

トロリーがクリスマス仕様にデコレーションされクリスマスソングが流れているので、いつもと違う雰囲気を味わえます。
シティライツは、外も含めれば広い敷地内にディスプレイがあるものの、時間を持て余してしまいました。ツアーで参加せずとも、自分たちで見に行くのでもよかったかなと思いました。

I watched this during my trip to Hawaii over the New Year. I think it's a show that you can only see in Hawaii. Everything was wonderful.

年末年始のハワイ旅行の際に鑑賞しました
ハワイでしかみることなできないショーだと思います
全てが素晴らしかったです

It was a trip with small children, but we were able to enjoy it without getting bored. It was very fun.

I wanted to see the dolphins a little closer. Thank you.

小さな子どもズレでしたが、
飽きずに楽しむことができました。
とても楽しかったです。

もう少し近くでイルカが見たかったです。
ありがとうございます。

I experienced some seasickness, so medication was essential!

However, it was amazing.
It was a short time, so I didn't get tired and had a great time.
Thank you!

船酔いもあったので、薬必須！

しかし、最高でした。
短い時間だったので、疲れず楽しかったです。
ありがとうございます。

It was authentic and highly entertaining, and my 6-year-old daughter was very happy. It was the best luau I've seen so far. I will go again next year. The food was not something to expect.

本格的でエンターテイメント性が高く、6歳の娘も非常に喜んでました。これまで見たルアウで1番良かったです。また来年も行きます。食事は期待できません。

Due to the tides, we were submerged on the sandy beach. We encountered quite a few turtles, which was great, but the water clarity in Hawaii (Honolulu) wasn't very good, so that was disappointing.

潮の関係で、自分たちは砂浜なは水没していました。
亀にはかなり遭遇できたのでとてもよかったのですが、ハワイ（ホノルル）の透明度はあまり良くないので、そこは残念。

Paseo impresionante, muy recomendable, extraordinaria comunicación, organización y responsabilidad

I saw several Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas, and this one was also great. The venue was compact and had a sense of unity.

ラスベガスでいくつかシルクドソレイユのショー見ましたが、このショーも良いものでした。会場もコンパクトで一体感ありました。
