All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

This is my third time participating.
It has become a tradition to have this made every year on the way back.
I’m really happy that I can see the memories of this trip right after returning, accompanied by Hawaiian music.
Since coming back, my children and I have been watching it almost every day.
I want to cherish these memories with this DVD until I go to Hawaii again next year!

今回で3回目の参加になります。
毎年　帰りにこれを作って頂くのが　恒例に　なってしまいました。
ハワイアンの音楽に会わせ　今回の旅行の　思いでが　帰ってすぐにみれるので　とっても　うれしいです。
また　帰ってきてから　子供と一緒に　毎日のように　見ています。
また　来年ハワイにいくときまで　このDVDで　思い出にひたりたいです！　

I participated with my 60-year-old mother and my two children, aged 8 and 4. The blue sky and blue sea were incredibly refreshing. As soon as we boarded, the captain pointed and said "Honu!" and there was a sea turtle. The kids lay on the net, looking into the water to see what else they could spot. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any dolphins. The captain and staff were very friendly, speaking to the kids in simple Japanese and even taking them to the cockpit for photos, which was a lot of fun. I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

60歳の母と私　8歳と4歳の子供の4人で参加しました。
青い空　青い海　す~っごく気持ちよかったです。　乗ってすぐ　キャプテンが　ホヌ！と指をさす方向に　ウミガメがいました。　子供達も　他に　何がみえるか　ネットにねっころがり　ずっと　海のなかをみてました。が　残念ながら　イルカなどには　会えませんでした。　キャプテンやスタッフの方は　とても　フレンドリーで　かたことの日本語で　子供に話しかけてくれたり　操縦席に連れて行って写真をとらせてくれたりと　とても　楽しかったです。　また　機会があれば　参加したいです。

This was my first time visiting. A large tour bus picked us up, and we arrived at the location! I participated with my 60-year-old mother and my 8-year-old and 4-year-old children, making a group of four.

There were so many things we wanted to do, but time flew by, and I wished we could have stayed a little longer. My 8-year-old loved the wave pool and wouldn’t leave it. The waves were incredible, far beyond what you find in Japanese wave pools. The next day, for some reason, my mother and I both had muscle soreness! The bodyboarding lesson was also a lot of fun. It was our first attempt, but the staff member helped us ride the waves skillfully, and we were very satisfied.

The lunch buffet had a modest variety and selection, but the meat was cooked medium, tender, and very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time.

However, there were some people who were over 30 minutes late for the return bus, which was very inconvenient. They ended up being left behind, but I wish they would consider that there are others waiting in the hot bus who arrived on time and had to wait for more than 30 minutes.

今回はじめて　行ってきました。大きな観光バスでお迎えがきて　現地到着！60歳の母と8歳と4歳の子供の4人で参加しました。
とにかくたくさんやりたいことがあるのですが　あっという間に時間になってしまい　もうちょっと長くいれたらな~　なんて思いました。8歳の子は波のプールが気に入ってしまい　そこからはなれませんでした。とにかく　すごい波　日本の波のプールはめじゃないです。次の日　なぜか　母と二人　筋肉痛になっていました！　ボディーボードレッスンもとっても楽しかったです。私も8歳の息子も　初挑戦でしたが　スタッフのお兄さんに　上手に波に載せてもらい　大満足でした。　お昼のビュッフェも　品数　種類は　質素な感じでしたが　お肉は　ミディアムで　柔らかく　とてもおいしかったです。
次回も　是非参加したいです。
帰りのバス　集合時間を30分以上たってもこないかたがいて　とても迷惑でした　その人達は　結局おいて　出発しましたが　熱いバスの中　時間通りにきて　30分以上も待たされる人がいるということを　少しは考えて欲しいです。

First, regarding the departure, a dedicated park bus will pick you up. You'll be sharing the ride with other foreign guests. The air conditioning inside the bus is very strong, so it's essential to bring a jacket. It's fine to wear swimsuits on the way there and back. Upon arrival, a Japanese guide will be waiting for you, but the explanation inside the facility is done using a pamphlet, which is quite general, and I would have preferred more specific information.

First, about the lockers: they are smaller than typical Japanese lockers, so it might be difficult for two people to use a small one. You can either rent a large locker or minimize your belongings to use a small one. The lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. While there is some grass inside the facility, most of the walking is on concrete, so moving around barefoot could lead to burns; I recommend wearing sandals.

For lunch, I heard it would be a BBQ, but it turned out to be an all-you-can-eat selection of salad, rice, chicken, beef, and fruit. The taste is not bad, but the variety is limited, so I was a bit disappointed given the price.

As for the attractions, some become available at specific times or may temporarily close, so not all attractions are accessible at all times. A good tip is to experience the attractions that are open first to avoid wasting time. For popular attractions, the wait can be up to 30 minutes. The attractions are all unique and not found in Japan, so I hope you can experience as many as possible. Surprisingly, a popular attraction is located on a mountainside, and you have to lift and carry a giant inflatable ring yourself, which requires some stamina. Therefore, it can be challenging to keep riding consecutively.

You can bring underwater cameras on all attractions. It's fine to take off your sandals before riding, but towels can be a hassle since you need to go back to the locker to retrieve them, or they might get stolen. The changing rooms, restrooms, and showers are all in the same area and were reasonably clean.

まず、出発ですがこのパーク専用バスが送迎してくれます。外国人の人たちとも同席です。車内はクーラーがんがんにきいてますので上着は必須。行き帰りは水着を着用されていても大丈夫です。現地に到着すると日本人ガイドさんが待機してくれていますが館内説明がパンフレットを用いてして下さるのですが大まか過ぎてもう少し具体的な内容がほしかったです。まずロッカーですが日本のロッカーより一回りも小さいサイズなので小を2人で使用するのは困難でしょう。大を1つレンタルするか荷物を最小限にして小を1つ利用するかですね。ロッカーは何度も開け閉め可能です。館内は芝生も一部ありますがほとんどコンクリートの上を歩くので素足で移動すると火傷を起こしかねないのでサンダルで移動する事をおすすめします。昼食はBBQと聞いていましたがサラダ、米、チキン、ビーフ、果物の取り放題となっており味は悪くないですが種類が少ないので値段の割にはがっかりでした。
あと各アトラクションですが物によって時間で利用可能になったり一旦、中止にしたりと常に全てのアトラクションがいつでも利用できる訳ではないのでこつとしては開いているアトラクションから体験すると無駄な時間が省けますよ。人気のアトラクションでは最大30分待ち程度でした。アトラクションは日本にはない物ばかりで是非1つでも多く体験してもらいたいと思います。意外に人気アトラクションは山肌にあり巨大な浮き輪も自力で持ち上げて運ばなくてはならないので体力はいりますね。なのであまりがんがんと続けて乗る事は困難です。どのアトラクションも水中カメラは持っていても大丈夫です。サンダルは乗る前に脱ぎ置きしても大丈夫ですがタオルは使用する時に面倒ですがロッカーまで取りに行かないと盗まれます。更衣室、トイレ、シャワーは同じ場所にありますがまずまずの奇麗さでしたよ。

I visited at the end of May a little while ago. Even though it was the rainy season, I didn't get caught in the rain, so I didn't feel cold. Just a short run away, there's a beautiful sea, and the inflatable slide was really fun. Since my husband and the locals are of BIG size, riding together was thrilling as I felt like I was being tossed around and almost thrown off. I'm sure kids would absolutely love it. It can get quite cold during this time when there's shade or a breeze, so even on cloudy days, I recommend buying a rash guard at places like Walmart to prevent sunburn. The UV rays are very strong, and it's refreshing, so you might find yourself wanting to be in the sun. To avoid ruining your trip by getting too burned, you can purchase one starting from $15, just for your reference!

If you rent a car and go by yourself, it can get quite expensive. I highly recommend taking advantage of the "☆Group Discounts!☆ With Shuttle Service" campaign on this site. It seems that even-numbered groups get 25% off. I went with the "Standard Plan for 2 Adults." The plan doesn't include meals, but soft drinks are all-you-can-drink! So you don't need to bring your own drinks. Also, the fries at Windjammer Food Court are the best! Definitely order them as a single item. The portion is astonishing. They are loaded with cheddar cheese and bacon. Start with one and then decide if you want more based on your appetite!

Lastly, if you have shuttle service, the hotel pickup is around 9 AM, but since it opens at 10:30, it will be a leisurely drive until then. The bus is kept very cold, so please make sure to bring a jacket or something to protect against the wind. Please note that the facility is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from June to August.

ちょっと前になりますが5月最終週に行ってきました。
雨季なのに雨に降られなかったので寒い思いはしませんでした。
ちょっと走れば、きれいな海ですが、浮輪系のスライダーが本当に楽しかったです。主人や現地の人たちがBIGサイズなので、一緒に乗ると振り回され、ほおり出されそうになるスリルが本当に楽しかったです。きっと子供は大喜びだと思います。日陰や風が吹くとこの時期寒いので、曇りでも日焼け防止もかね、ウォルマートとかでラッシュガード買っておくのもお勧めです。紫外線が非常に強く、さわやかなのでついつい日向に出たくなります。焼き過ぎで旅を台無しにしないためにも、$15~から購入できますのでご参考に！
レンタカーを借りて自分で行くと、かなり高いお値段になります。
是非とも、本サイトの「☆グループで行くとお得なキャンペーン！☆ 送迎付き」を活用してください。偶数人が25%OFFのようです。私も「大人2人スタンダードプラン」で行きました。
食事は無しのプランですが、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題！だから飲み物は持参しなくても大丈夫ですよ。また、ウインドジャマー・フードコートのポテトが最高！単品で是非頼んでください。驚きの量です。チェダーチーズとベーコンがゴッテリのっています。まず1つ他のでから、お腹と相談して追加しましょう！
最後に、送迎付きの場合、9時ぐらいにホテルピックアップですが、10:30OPENなので、それまで、ゆっくりなドライブになります。バスの中はキンキンに冷やされますので、パーカーなど風除けは必ず持っていてくださいね。
6月~8月以外は、火・水が休館日なのでご注意ください。

You will be seated with people from countries other than Japan at each hotel. The air conditioning in the car is quite strong, so bringing a jacket is essential. After arriving at the site, a Japanese person will give a brief tour of the facility, but I found it a bit too simple, which made me a little anxious. The lockers cost $7 (with $2 refunded), but unlike in Japan, they are small, so if you want to take off your sandals, you'll need to put them in a locker, so I think it's better for each person to have one. Since it's expensive, those who are hesitant might want to minimize their luggage. Additionally, the lockers can be opened and closed multiple times. The park is made of concrete, so there's a risk of burns, so I recommend wearing sandals. There are slides that you won't find in Japan, and riding on any of them gives you an amazing feeling. Photos are taken on all the slides, and you can see them at the souvenir shop on your way back. However, since all the photos from the slides can only be viewed in one place, there tends to be a long line, so if you want to see your images, it's important to wrap up your fun and head there at least an hour before the meeting time. Lunch was described as a BBQ lunch, but it was just a buffet with salad, chicken, beef, fruit, and rice. Drinks were unlimited, but there were only about four types, so it was a disappointing lunch considering the price. Also, not all attractions in the park are open all the time; some are temporarily closed, and others open later, so I recommend not giving up if the attraction you want to try is closed and instead experiencing the ones that are open. The changing rooms and shower facilities were decent.

各ホテルから日本人以外の国の方と同席で現地へ。車内はクーラーが効きすぎてるので上着は必須です。現地へ到着後に日本人が館内案内をしてくれるのですが簡単過ぎて少々不安でした。ロッカーは小7＄（2＄返却されます。）ですが日本と違い小さくサンダルを脱ぎたい人はロッカーに入れないといけないので1人１つの方が良いかと思います。高いので抵抗ある人は荷物を最小限にすることが妥当かと思います。あとロッカーは何度でも開け閉め可能です。園内はコンクリートなので火傷する可能性もあるのでサンダルを履く事をおすすめします。日本ではない滑り台ばかりで何を乗っても最高の気分があじわえます。全てのスライダーに写真撮影がされていますが帰りにお土産やの中に写真を見せてくれますが、なんせ全てのスライダーの撮影された物が一か所でしか見れないので長蛇の列ができており自分の画像を見たい人は集合時間の1時間前には遊ぶのをきりあげて行く事がポイントです。昼食はBBQランチとの記載でしたがサラダ、チキン、ビーフ、果物、ライスのみのバイキングでした。飲み物は飲み放題でしたが種類は4種類程度で金額の割には期待外れの昼食でした。また、園内の各アトラクションは常に開いている訳ではなく時間によって一旦中止され、中止されていたアトラクションが開いたりしている物がいくつかあったので、やりたいアトラクションが閉まっているからといって諦めず開いている物から体験する事をおすすめします。更衣室、シャワー室はまずまずの環境でした。

When I thought of Hawaii, I only thought of the ocean, so I had never been before, but I really enjoyed it. There are a lot of attractions, and they are all interesting. The local high school students casually approached me, saying, "It's more fun to ride with a big group, so let's ride together," and they suggested, "Let's race!" on the water slide. It's great to be able to play with the locals. Also, the staff members were very friendly.

ハワイと言えば海！と思っていたので今まで行ったことがなかったのですが、楽しめました。
たくさんアトラクションがあり、どれもおもしろいです。
地元の高校生に「大人数で乗ったほうが楽しいから一緒に乗ろう」と、気さくに話しかけてくれたりウォータースライダーで「競争しよう！」など、地元の人たちと遊べるのもイイものですよ。
また、スタッフの方たちも親切でした。

The staff is friendly, and I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! I was lucky to see manta rays and sea turtles as well. I want to participate again!

スタッフがフレンドリーだし
サンドバーの美しさに感動!
運良くマンタ、海ガメも見れてラッキー☆
また参加したい程です。

excellent loved it.

The food and entertainment was great.

I went on June 3rd when it was sunny. They picked us up at the meeting point with a large bus, and the local staff provided kind and thorough explanations. The bus takes about 50 minutes to arrive. The thrilling water slide here is the best; even adults can enjoy it fully. I signed up for the lunch plan, but I recommend not having high expectations. There are only beef, chicken, salad, rice, and two types of fruit, so I wish there were more variety. The bodyboarding lesson is quite fun, but if you get too excited, it can be really tiring. There’s a hot jacuzzi, which feels great when your body gets cold. I thought the 2:45 PM gathering time was short, but I was able to enjoy each attraction more than twice, which was enough fun.

6月3日晴れに行ってきました。待ち合わせ場所に大型バスでお迎えにきてくれ、現地のスタッフが親切丁寧に説明してくれます。バスは約５０分で到着します。ここの絶叫ウォータースライダーはサイコーです、大人でも十分に楽しめます。ランチ付プランを申し込んだのですが、あんまり期待しない方がいいです、牛肉、鶏肉、サラダ、ご飯、フルーツ2種類しかないですので、もう少し種類がほしいところです。ボディボードレッスンは結構面白いのですが、はしゃぎ過ぎるととメッチャ疲れます。熱いジャクジーがあるので、体が冷えたとき入ると気持ち良いです。2時45分集合で、時間が短いと思いましたが、各アトラクション2回以上回れて十分楽しめました。

On Thursday, June 3, 2010, it was sunny. The large bus arrived at the pickup location five minutes early, and a local staff member who spoke Japanese explained the schedule for the day. Since I had signed up for the deluxe plan, there was unlimited juice (4 or 5 types of Pepsi) and lunch included. The only cost was a small locker fee of $12 (with a $5 refund upon returning the receipt and locker key), which wasn't particularly necessary. However, the lunch consisted of beef, chicken, salad, potatoes, white rice, and fruit, so don't expect too much. The main attractions were incredibly enjoyable. I was able to ride all the attractions more than twice without much waiting, but it was a bit disappointing that some attractions, like Shaka and the one next to it, closed at certain times. Still, these are interesting attractions not found in Japan, and I recommend them for couples and families.

2010年6月3日木曜日晴れ、ピックアップ場所には5分前に大型バスが到着、日本語の出来る現地スタッフが、これからのスケジュールを説明してくれます。デラックスプランを申し込んでいたので、ジュース飲み放題（ペプシ系4、5種類）とランチ付きで、お金は小ロッカー代＄１２（レシートとロッカーキー返却で＄５返却）で特には要りませんが、ランチは牛肉、チキン、サラダ、ポテト、白ご飯、フルーツだけで大したことはないので、期待しないように。本題のアトラクションは最高に楽しめました。そんなに待たずに乗ることが出来るので、すべてのアトラクションを2回以上楽しむことができたのですが、時間によってシャカやその隣のアトラクションがクローズになったりしたのが、ちょっと残念でしたが、日本にはない面白いアトラクションで、カップル、家族連れにおすすめです。

I participated in the morning tour. I was amazed by the solitary, pure white sandbar in the middle of the beautiful sea. It was surprisingly easy to see the sandbar so clearly. However, walking on it was a bit painful... But the stunning scenery was mesmerizing.

I also got to see sea turtles, which was a fantastic experience.

The staff were really great, and I had a lot of fun.

I highly recommend it!!

午前のツアーに参加しました。
きれいな海の真ん中にポツンと真っ白なサンドバーに感動。
出ていないのが不思議なくらいきれいにサンドバーを見ることが出来ました。
ただ、歩くとちょっと痛い…。
でも、きれいな景色にうっとりです。

ウミガメも見ることが出来て大満喫でした。

スタッフもとてもイイの方たちで、とても楽しかったです。

おすすめです！！

The entire experience was very nice. It's great! A good trip for anyone. We could have just stayed put and enjoyed the ride, but I did get in the water. They helped me relax and enjoy it. The crew was very helpful. We only had 8 people making it more personal. I have no idea how many they usually have. There is plenty of room to walk around and do your own thing.

~Margaret N. from GA

The crew was wonderful, very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was my most favorite thing about our entire Oahu trip! We loved being able to see the spinner dolphins jump. There were so many fish! My husband loved helping to put up the 450 pound sail. Not a day we will soon forget! We didn't want to get off the boat at the end of our time... we'll definitely be back.

We took the Pearl Harbor tour with the Missouri. Sandy was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Very nice, fun and entertaining, plus knowledgeable. The bus was really big and comfortable (not like most of the yucky shuttles) and Sandy drove around Waikiki effortlessly. Amazing!

The Arizona Memorial is a must-see, although it is not exciting so kids are easily bored. On the other hand, the tour of the Missouri is great for all ages. We did the audio tour with the iTouch device, and my 13-year-old thought it was like an adventure to find the next location. We were able to explore and listen at our convenience.

The Punchbowl was closed for Memorial Day, but Sandy took us to Pal"i lookout, which was a beautiful sight and the drive up was very informational too.

Overall, a terrific tour that we are so glad we did and the price was VERY affordable. Many of the tours I saw were way over-priced, as I cannot see what they could offer over the tour we took.

We were much

It was disappointing that the sea was rough and I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, I had a great time afterwards watching P-chan's hula dance and other fun activities. Next time, I want to swim with the dolphins!

海が荒れてイルカと一緒に泳げなくて残念だった。
でも、その後のピーちゃんのフラダンス等楽しい時間をすごせました。
今度はイルカと一緒に泳ぎたいな。

The weather was great, the beautiful sea was visible, and I was able to swim, so it was GOOD. The staff also helped create a fun atmosphere. The BBQ was delicious.

However, if I participate next time, I would like to request the following improvements.

For the program that involves walking down to the beach, please provide marine shoes. A friend cut their foot. (After that, we couldn't enjoy free sightseeing or sports.) I believe entering the sea barefoot is unsafe. I participated with marine shoes (I was the only one).

During snorkeling, there were no fins available for rent. Without fins, it's difficult to move as desired, so it wasn't enjoyable. Also, since everyone was wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive and were just floating.

If these two points could be improved, I would like to participate again next time. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.

P.S. Everyone participating was very nice. Thank you. Thank you to the staff.

天気に恵まれ、美しい海が見れ、泳げましたので、ＧＯＯＤでした。スタッフさんも、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれて楽しめました。ＢＢＱもおいしかったです。
但し　次回参加するとしたら、次の改善をお願いします。
歩いて、ビーチに下りるプログラムでは、マリンシューズの用意をお願いします。友人が足を切りました。（以降自由な観光、スポーツが出来ませんでした）基本的に素足で海に入ることは、安全上ＮＧと考えています。自分はマリンシューズを持って参加しました。（唯一私のみ）
スノーケリングの時、足ひれの貸し出しがありませんでした。足ひれがないと、思うように進みませんので楽しめません。且全員ライフジャケット着用なので、もぐりが出来なく、ただ浮かんでいる状態です。
2点改善していただければ、次回も参加したいと思います。
海がめは、残念ながら見れませんでした。
追伸　参加されている方は、皆さんとても良い感じの方でした。ありがとうございました。
スタッフさんありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and the heavenly sea was very beautiful. The staff was also very fun and attentive. The sandbar had water up to about my knees, but it was really beautiful, and the good weather was a plus. I saw about four turtles. During snorkeling, the first time there were too many people, so I couldn't see well, but those who wanted to could go a second time, and since there were few participants, I was able to enjoy it quite freely. There were fewer fish, but it was enjoyable. The BBQ was just delicious.

天気も良く、天国の海はとってもきれいでした。
スタッフもとても楽しく、すごく気遣ってくれる方たちでした。
サンドバーは膝下くらいまで水がある程度でしたが、本当にきれいでしたし、天気も良くて良かったです。亀も4頭くらい見れました。
シュノーケリングでは1回目は人が多くてあまりよく見れませんでしたが、希望者は2回目に行けて、希望者が少なかったので、割と自由に楽しめました。魚は少なめですが、楽しめます。
BBQは普通においしかったです。

I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...

I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆

ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。

もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old! We got to see sea turtles, and although the water was a bit deep, we were able to go in and even made a DVD (＾-＾). This became the most fun memory of our trip to Hawaii!

Even though my kids couldn't go snorkeling, they were satisfied watching the pufferfish and stingrays that gathered around the boat! The BBQ was delicious, and my daughter, who usually dislikes meat, was devouring it!

My shy and timid daughter seems to have the best memories from this experience (＾＾). Joe?! He was really funny and high-energy♪ I saw him later in Waikiki and tried to call out to him, but he didn't notice me... (Ｔ▽Ｔ). He was running towards someone else (laughs). I absolutely want to participate again!

４歳１歳の子供と一緒に参加させてもらいました！
海がめも見れたし少し深かったですが海にも入れＤＶＤを作ってもらいました（＾-＾）
今回のハワイで１番楽しい思い出になりました！

子供はｼｭﾉｰｹﾘﾝｸﾞはできないものの船に集まってきたフグとエイを見れ満足してました！ＢＢＱもおいしくって肉ｷﾗｲの娘がお肉をﾊﾞｸﾊﾞｸ食べてました！

人見知りでﾋﾞﾋﾞﾘの娘も１番思い出に残ってるようです（＾＾）
ｼﾞｮｰさん？！
ﾊｲﾃﾝｼｮﾝで本当のおもしろかったです♪
あのあとﾜｲｷｷで見かけたので呼んだのですが気づかれず・・・（Ｔ▽Ｔ）
誰かに向かい走ってました(笑）
絶対に絶対にまた参加したいです！

It was a very fulfilling experience! The staff were incredibly kind, cheerful, and attentive. The BBQ was delicious, and seeing the sea turtles made it the best day ever! I was also glad to finally try Leonard's malasadas. My husband, who joined me, had a great time and is already excited to participate in this tour again when we go to Hawaii next time! The only downside was that we didn't see many fish while snorkeling, but they taught us how to snorkel carefully, so I felt safe diving in! Thank you for everything!

とっても充実した内容でした♪
スタッフの皆さんはとても親切＆愉快＆気配りの行き届いた方々で、ＢＢＱも美味しく、海亀も見れて最高の一日になりました☆食べたかったレナーズのマサラダも食べれて良かった☆
一緒に参加した主人は、とにかく楽しかった様子で、次回ハワイに行ったときも絶対にこのツアーに参加する！と意気込んでいました☆
唯一、シュノーケリングはあまりお魚が見れませんでしたが、シュノーケルの仕方も丁寧に教えていただき、安心して潜ることができました！
お世話になりました★

I was half excited and half anxious about whether I could really go snorkeling, but the staff were so nice that I felt at ease. Moreover, they were very kind to the children, and it seems they had a great time. It was a valuable experience.

As for the barbecue, my expectations were a bit too high, so it was somewhat disappointing, but I was glad to have something warm to eat. However, it was cramped, making it difficult to go for seconds or leave. It can't be helped...

Thank you very much.

My child sends their regards to Norio.

楽しみ半分、私にも本当にシュノーケリングできるのか不安半分でしたが、なんといってもスタッフがいい人で安心してできました。しかも、子供に対しても非常にやさしくて大変楽しめたようです。貴重な経験でした。

バーベキューは、あまりに期待が大きすぎていまいちでしたが、暖かいものが食べれてよかったです。ただ、狭くておかわりにいったり、帰ったりが大変でした。仕方ありませんが・・・

ありがとうございました。

子供が、のりお君によろしくとのことでした。

This was a very enjoyable cruise of Oahu's sunset. We enjoyed the food and entertainment. My husband and I saw flying fish which to us was icing on the cake. The sunset was amazing to watch and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The waiter showed us tricks on disassembling our lobster, which was nice, I didn't want to make a mess. I think the Navatek is the best because of the smoothness and to be able to go into open waters and still remain smooth. This is a wonderful cruise and a great way to end an evening.

This was a blast! Also, the crew knows exactly where to go to find tu
rtles - we saw at LEAST a dozen! Then, after everyone was finished snorkeling we went for a sail and had cocktails (the Onolicious is awesome). The crew was wonderful - Thanks Captain John & Rabbit!!!

I went on Monday, and there happened to be a group of local high school students there. It seemed like there are usually not many customers.

More than half of the guests were high school students. There was little wait time for any of the attractions.

However, I wanted to try the FlowRider attraction (which has an additional fee), but it was difficult to do because the locals were constantly using it.

But I was very lucky to run into Mao-chan and Mai-chan, who my wife also loves.

　月曜日に行ったのですが、ちょうど現地の高校生らしき団体が来ていました。多分、普段はお客さんが少ないように感じました。
　お客さんの半数以上が団体の高校生でした。どのアトラクションも待ち時間は少なかったです。

　ただ、ダフローライダーという　アトラクション（別料金）に挑戦したかったのですが、ローカルの人たちがずっとやっているので　やりづらかったです。　

でも、うちのカミさんも大好きな、ｍａｏちゃん＆ｍａｉちゃんに、たまたま会うことができたのでとてもラッキーでした。

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.

On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.

Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.

Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.

It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.

アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。

当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。

また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。

午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。

友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

I recently visited Oahu for the 2nd time. My first luau experience in 2003 was with Germaine's Luau. That was very fun, but I felt it was too "touristy".

So on my recent trip to Oahu to visit a friend, we decided to try the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I am sooo glad that we did. The whole experience was amazing. We did the half day late entry package (upgraded to Ambassador). There is so much to see and learn about the Polynesian Islands and cultures. The dinner was seriously the best food, along with real students at the PCC performing a show during the dinner.

Then the "Ha! Breath of Life" show after dinner was so incredible. The story was great and the performances from all the different polynesian cultures were so wonderful. I cannot stress enough how much I am reccommending you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center and take in everything you can while you are there.

Absolutely amazing day, wonderful staff, great meal and drinks and of course the dolphins and turtles were fabulous.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this particular place. As I had heard, it was truly wonderful.

(Good points)
1. The unique location is truly remarkable. Surrounded by beautiful seas and the mountains of Hawaii, with white sand, it was really a mysterious and lovely place.

2. I appreciated how the female staff genuinely cared about making everyone enjoy their time. After all, it's the experiences we create that become memories, so in that sense, it was very good.

3. The lunch in the afternoon was not just a typical tour add-on; it was well-prepared and delicious.

4. Three rays approached the boat asking for food. It was my first time seeing rays up close, and I was thrilled.

(Not-so-good points)
1. The public restroom at the port was a bit... even men would want to hold it in. Since there are no other options, the likelihood of needing to use it is high, so I wonder if something can be done about that.

2. The weather on the day I visited wasn't great, and the sky was quite cloudy. As a result, the sea was also cloudy (reflecting the sky), which diminished the excitement. During snorkeling, it was disappointing that visibility wasn't very good.

3. Similarly, since the weather was not ideal, the women were particularly shivering when they got out of the water. It would be best to prepare bath towels or windbreakers as much as possible.

4. I don't think anyone would compare it to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, but compared to that, there weren't as many fish (during my visit). So, for those who know about it, don't have such expectations...

5. Even though it's called white sand, there are slightly pebbly areas, so it's not completely sandy.

Those who only skim through the not-so-good points might lose their motivation to go, but these are just minor issues. I think it was worth going. Just to be clear.

ハワイは何度も来ていますが今回初めて行きました。聞いていたとおりとても素晴らしいところでした。

（良かったところ）
1.何といっても珍しいそのロケーション。綺麗な海、ハワイの山々に囲まれ、白い砂、本当に不思議な、素敵な所でした。

2.スタッフの女性が本当にみんなを楽しませようと気遣いがうれしかったし、良かったです。所詮人間って場所は当然として、その時の体験で想い出を作っていくと思うのでそういう意味でもとても良かったです。

3.午後のランチは、良くありがちなツァーのおまけレベルではなくきちんとしていて美味しかったですよ。

4.エイがボートに近寄ってエサをねだっていました(3匹）。エイを近くで見たのは初めてだったので感激しました。

（良くなかったところ）
1.港の公衆トイレがちょっと・・・で、男でさえ我慢したくなる程でした。他にないため利用する機会確率が高いのでこれはどうにかならないものかと。

2.行った日の天気があまり良くなくて空は曇りがちでした。そのため海も（空を映すので）曇っていて、感激が半減という感じでした。スノーケリングの時もあまり深いところまで見えにくく残念でした。天候はどうにもならないですが、晴れた時との違いがとても大きいと感じました。

3.同じく、天気がいまいちだったので水から上がった時、特に女性陣が震えていました。できるだけバスタオルか風よけ上着等を準備しておいた方が良いです。

4.オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフと比べる方はいないかと思いますが、それと比べたら魚はそんなに多くいませんでした（私の時）。なので、それを知っている人はそんな期待はしないように・・・。

5.白い砂といっても微妙に小石はあるので完全な砂ではないですよ~。

良くなかったところだけつまみ読みした方は行く気を失せてしまうかもしれませんが、これは”あえて言うなら・・・”というレベルです。私は行って良かったと思っています。念のため。
