All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

This time, we came to Hawaii as a family for a wedding. We thought about doing some family activities, so we participated in a tour with Dolphin and You. I was a bit anxious since we had my 4-year-old nephew with us, but he was very happy to ride in a kayak and see dolphins up close, which relieved me!

There were many dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish swimming nearby, and it was very moving. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making it a really enjoyable activity. The BBQ burgers they grilled on the boat were also very delicious. The hula lesson was a lot of fun too. I highly recommend this tour for anyone going to Hawaii.

Additionally, they offered to sell a DVD and a photo CD-ROM, and when I got home and looked at the photos, they turned out beautifully, which was truly moving again.

今回は結婚式のために家族でハワイにきました。何か家族でアクティビティーが出来ないかと思い今回ドルフィンアンドユーさんのツアーに参加しました。4歳の甥っ子もいたので少し不安でもありましたが、カヤックに乗せてもらって近くでいるかも見ることが出来とても喜んでいた様子でほっとしました！

近くでイルカや海がめ熱帯魚もたくさん泳いでいてとても感動しました。またスタッフの方もとてもフレンドリーでこまめに気を使っていただきとても楽しいアクティビティーとなりました。船の上で焼いてもらったBBQバーガーもとっても美味しかったです。ﾌﾗのレッスンもとても楽しかったです。
ハワイに行かれる方にはかなりおすすめのツアーでした。

あと、DVDと写真のCD-ROMを販売していただけたのですが、家に帰って写真をみてすごくきれいにうつっていてまた改めて感動しました。

I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour on September 17. This was my first time on the tour to Kaneohe, and I had been a bit anxious since I had never had good weather before. However, the weather was really nice on the day of the tour. The water depth at the sandbar was about knee-deep (which is normal for this time of year), but the colors and clarity were truly beautiful. I wasn't expecting much from the staff's service or the BBQ, but both the variety and taste were of high quality for this type of tour. Snorkeling was optional. Knowing that there aren't many types or numbers of fish, we enjoyed the colors and clarity of the sea around the boat. Just swimming with goggles was fun! You can request a DVD for an additional fee. We were the only ones who ordered it, but I'm glad we did (the first photo I posted is one they took). It was $45. I think it's worth seeing the colors and clarity of the sea at least once. By the way, you can only see sea turtles from the boat, so if your goal is to see sea turtles, you might want to consider another tour.

9月17日に午後のBBQツアーに参加しました。カネオヘへのツアーは数回目でしたがこのツアーは初＆今まで天気に恵まれた事がなかったのでチョット不安。でも当日は本当にいい天気でした。サンドバーの水深は膝程（これはこの時期の普通だとか）でしたが、色と透明度は本当に美しかったです。スタッフの対応、BBQも期待していなかったのですが、種類、味共にこの手のツアーとしては質が高かったです。シュノケールは自由参加。もともとあまり魚の種類、数は多くないのを知っていたので、私達は船の回りで海の色と透明度を楽しんでいました。ゴーグルつけて泳いでるだけでも楽しいです！別料金でDVD作成が頼めます。頼んだのは私達だけでしたが頼んでヨカッタです（投稿写真1枚目は撮ってもらったものです）。＄４５でした。1度見ておいて損はない海の色と透明度だと思います。ちなみに海亀は船から見るだけなので、海亀目的ならば他のツアーがいいかも。

Very interesting learning abouth the other islands. Everyone should make a trip there. Great food at the luau. Great Horizon night show.

I was able to see wild dolphins swimming gracefully in the vast ocean up close, and I was excited beyond my years. Additionally, the hamburger made by the captain was incredibly delicious. I can't forget that taste! (*^^*) On the boat, there was a live ukulele performance, and the staff were friendly and engaging, making it a lot of fun. The relaxing atmosphere was soothing. I also enjoyed hula for the first time, and under the cheerful guidance of the instructor, it was truly delightful.

広い海の中で悠々と泳いでる野生のイルカをまじかで見ることが出来て年甲斐も無く興奮しました。と、共に・・・船長さんが作ってくれたハンバーガーはとてもおいしかったです。あの味が忘れられません(*^^*)！船上では、生のウクレレ演奏があったり、スタッフさん達が気さくに話しかけてくれたりカメラマンさんとても楽しくって。リラックスの出来る雰囲気に和みました。初めてのフラも、陽気な先生の楽しい指導のもと、すご~くなごみました~。

On September 15th (Monday), my spouse and I participated in the afternoon BBQ course. We became very interested after seeing a post on Alan1.net and decided to sign up.

On the day of the event, we were picked up on time, and after going to about four or five pickup locations, we had to wait for about 30 minutes at the last pickup spot, possibly due to a mix-up with other participants, but we departed safely. The driver seemed a bit irritated and didn’t say a word until we arrived, but there was a radio broadcast introducing the sandbar, featuring a lively young woman who enjoys entertaining participants.

After departing, there was an introduction of the crew, and the captain was a former sumo wrestler from the Higashi-Kan room who had to retire due to a serious injury. Our guide was Eri, who humorously referred to herself as the "Iijima Ai of Hawaii." She looked youthful and energetic, not at all like someone with a high school-aged child, and it turned out she was the same woman introduced on the radio.

We arrived at the sandbar in about 15 minutes, and the color of the sea was unlike anything I had ever seen, truly resembling "heavenly waters." We quickly entered the water and strolled along the sandbar. I thought walking over coral might be painful, but it felt just like walking on a sandy beach and was not bothersome at all. After about 30 minutes of walking, those who wished to participate could go snorkeling. When we moved to a depth of 20 meters, we could see various fish through our goggles.

When we returned to the boat, a barbecue was prepared to satisfy our hunger after all the activity. There was an all-you-can-eat option, and the amount provided was more than we could finish. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the foil-grilled asparagus was especially excellent.

After the meal, we set off for turtle watching. Eri guided us to a spot with a 99.9% guarantee of seeing turtles, and the boat was filled with excitement when we spotted them swimming.

I am grateful to Eri, who kept the atmosphere lively throughout the trip and didn’t mind my bad jokes. Thank you so much, Eri! This was my sixth visit to Hawaii, but I had no idea such a wonderful place existed. I definitely want to participate again next time.

９月１５日（月）午後のＢＢＱコースに夫婦で参加。Alan1.netの書き込みを見て大変興味がわいて申し込んだ。
当日は予定時間どおりにピックアップされ、その後４~５ヵ所ピックアップ場所を回ったが、最後のピックアップ場所で参加者との行き違いだったのか３０分程待たされたが無事出発。
ドライバーさんは、いらいらしていたのか着くまで一言も話さなかったが、車内のラジオでサンドバーを紹介したＦＭ放送が流され元気の良いお姉さんがいて参加者を楽しませるのが趣味との紹介もあった。
出港後現地に着く間クルーの紹介等があり、キャプテンは元
大相撲の東関部屋で力士の経験者で現役中に大怪我をしてやめたとの事。案内してくれるのはエリさんで自称ハワイの飯島愛と言う位で高校生のお子さんがいる年齢には見えない若々しく元気の良いお姉さんで、ラジオで紹介されたお姉さんはエリさんであることが判明。
１５分程でサンドバーに着くが、今まで見たことのない海の色で、まさに「天国の海」そのものである。
早速海に入りサンドバーを散歩するが、珊瑚の上を歩くという事で痛いかと思ったが海岸の砂浜のようにぜんぜん気にならない。約３０分程散歩の後、希望者はシュノーケリングに参加。深さ２０メートルの場所まで移動するといろいろな魚が眼鏡越しに見られる。
船に戻るとバーべキューが用意されており動いた後の空腹を満たしてくれる。当然食べ放題であるが、食べきれないほどの量が用意されている。肉も柔らかく味もそこそこで特にアスパラガスのホイル焼きは最高であった。
食事後は海がめウォッチングに出発。エリさんが９９．９％
保証付きの場所に案内されると海がめの泳ぐ姿に船内は騒然となった。
出港から戻るまで終始しゃべりどうしで船内を楽しませてくれたエリさんに感謝するとともに、私の駄洒落にもいやな顔せずつきあってくれたエリさん、本当にありがとうございました。
ハワイは今回で６度目ですが、こんな素晴らしい所があるとは知りませんでした。次回も是非参加したいと思います。

Excellent tour guide. Made trip enjoyable and informative while being very helpful.
The PCC itself was very educational with presentations and shows excellent. Not really a luau, but more of a buffet. Food was just OK, with some things excellent and others not so good.

The scenery was very beautiful, and I was impressed. The BBQ had a lot of variety, and I was full! I thought it would have been even better if I could have seen more fish.

とっても景色はきれいで感激しました。
ＢＢＱも盛りだくさんの内容でおなかいっぱい！！
お魚がもっとたくさん見れればもっとよかったかなぁと思いました。

This was our first time and we really had a good time, the last show was great, the only thing we were not real fond of was the luau dinner, very simple and I wanted to really see how the pig was cooked in the sand. Dinner was not very good. The people there were very very nice to work with. Our driver Chris was also very nice and gave us a lot of information while on the drive.

Would recommend this tour to everyone we had a ball of a time a special thanks to Cousin Leon for making our day special.

Wonderful tour. Guide on the Missouri - "Toby" was great. He served on Mighty Mo and was very knowledgeable of every detail of the ship. Will do it again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trips aboard the Makani (so good we did it twice)!!

The boat is modern and very roomy. The crew without equal (especially canine "Captain" Pal)! On our first sail, we were treated to a fantastic show by a large school of dolphins. Pal (all 9 pounds of him) dove off the stern to swim with his "buddies". Not expected, but nonetheless unforgetable.

The scenery, crew, and value of this adventure are unmatched anywhere on the island in our opinion. Thanks, John, for the great times. We'll be back soon!

I was VERY impressed with our tour to the Polynesian Cultural Center. From the pick up in Waikiki, lunch, tour of the 5 island groups, dinner, the evening show and the return to Waikiki, all was done perfectly. This tour is definitely a MUST to learn more about the Polynesian Culture!!!

This was our second time to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and we still found it highly entertaining and informative.

The Dinner Cruise was fine. We did the City Lights tour afterwards and it was a complete rip off. What little naration there was, was delivered in Japanese. Don't waste your money. Unfortunately it soured our entire evening.

This time, I signed up for this tour because I wanted to meet dolphins. It was my parents' first trip to Hawaii (their second overseas trip), and my mother was nervous because she couldn't swim, but the staff were very kind and made it enjoyable for us. Their attention to detail was excellent, and both my parents and we had a great time. My father was moved to see dolphins and many colorful fish up close while snorkeling. We were also very happy to see our parents enjoying themselves!!

We had experience diving and swimming with dolphins before, but meeting dolphins is something we can enjoy no matter how many times we do it! The cheeseburgers made by the captain were also very delicious.

今回、イルカに会いたくてこのツアーに申し込みました。両親も始めてのハワイ旅行(海外2回目）で、母は泳げず緊張していましたが、スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しませてくれ、心配りも最高で、両親も私たちもとても楽しむことができました。父は、イルカやシュノーケルでたくさんのカラフルな魚を近くで見て、感動していました。私たちもそんな両親の姿をみてとてもうれしかったです!!
私たちはダイビングをしたり、イルカとも一緒に泳いだ経験がありましたが、イルカに会うのは何度経験しても楽しめるものでした!!船長さんが作ってくれた、チーズバーガーもとてもおいしかったです。

I visited Adventure World for the first time in Hawaii, a place where kids can play to their heart's content. It felt surprisingly smaller than what I had seen in photos, but there were various pools, and it was fun. The tour price was a great deal, and I was satisfied, but I was concerned about the many dead leaves in the pool.

ハワイで子供たちが存分に遊べるところというところで
初めてアドベンチャーワールドにいきました。
写真でみていたより意外に小さく感じましたが、
いろいろなプールがあって楽しかったです。
ツアー代金もお得で満足でしたが
プール内の枯葉が多かったので気になりました。

I had only moderate expectations for this tour, wondering if I would even get to see dolphins. I apologize for underestimating it!

From the moment we boarded, the staff was energetic, and after a brief prayer for our journey, dolphins appeared almost immediately! My 6-year-old son, who was snorkeling for the first time, dashed down the boat's stairs and jumped into the sea. We saw dolphins spinning on the surface, and underwater, there was a dolphin right in front of us... doing its business?! Before we knew it, our child had paddled far away in a kayak.

The clarity of the water, the proximity and number of dolphins, the variety of fish, and the staff's service (not just energetic but also kind and attentive) were all top-notch!

I participated in a snorkeling tour at a different location on another day, but none of those experiences could compare to this one. The hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious. Even the "hula lesson," which I thought would be just a bonus, turned out to be quite enjoyable. My swimsuit dried nicely too!

It's undeniable that this trip created the most fun memories for our entire family.

イルカに会えるかな~、程度の期待だったこのツアー。
軽くみてました　ゴメンナサイ（#^_^#）

乗船からノリノリのスタッフ、旅立ちの祈りもそこそこに
もうイルカが出現！！
シュノーケリング初体験の6歳の息子まで、船の階段を駆け下りて海に飛び込んでました。
海面では複数でイルカスピン！！海の中では目の前でイルカがウンチ？？
子どもは、いつの間にかカヤックではるか彼方に・・・。

水のキレイさ、イルカとの距離の近さ・数、魚の種類の多さ、スタッフの対応（ノリだけじゃなく、親切でいきとどいてました）
どれをとっても最高ヾ(＠⌒∇⌒＠)ノ

別の日に異なる場所でのシュノーケリングツアーにも参加しましたが、上記のいずれも点数は下がります。
船の上でいただいたハンバーガーの美味しかったこと。
おまけ程度に考えていた「フラレッスン」も、結構楽しめました。水着も乾いたし♪

家族全員が、この旅行で一番楽しかった思い出となったのは間違いありません。

I participated with the company staff. It was quite challenging, but this kind of experience is hard to come by elsewhere. The hamburger was also delicious. I will participate again.

会社のスタッフと参加しました。
なかなかしんどかったですが、
こんな体験、他ではなかなかすることはできません。
ハンバーガーもおいしかったです。
また、参加します。

I went on this cruise with a few of my friends, and it was worth every penny. It was one of the best things that we did in Hawaii. The captain was friendly and knowledgeable and we found schools of both spinner and bottlenosed dolphins. The crew took the time to share their knowledge of these gorogeous creatures and the captain made sure to stay with them long enough that every single person on the cruise got plenty of great pictures. Then came the snorkleing which was both unique and beatuiful. They fed the fish which allowed all of us to see the beautiful sea life up close and personal. We even saw sea turtle. On the way back the food was fantastic and the ride on the boat was just perfect. I would recommend this to anyway. We went on the 11:30 cruise and i think the dinner cruise would be fantastic as well. Great time, and highly recommeneded.

Great time had by all. Tour guide Milo was terrific and upbeat. Very knowledgeable about the Islands and cultures. Food was delicious and thank goodness for the children's buffet since we were with a very picky eater. Thank you for a great memory.

too many tour groups

This was the best times we had in Hawaii. The Snorkeling was great we got to see Sea Turtles and lots of other cool looking fish. After the snorkeling they took the group out sailing and it was even better. We all got drunk and had a awesome time and wonderful day. We to a Cocktail Cruise with them the last day of our trip. Most recommened.

The whole evening was very imformative. From finding out that the very program itself helps educates our young to learning about other places around the world. I have no doubt that the program has and will continue to offer a very unique learning experience for those that are at BYU and to those that attend the Polynesian Cultural Center for entertainment. All the work that was put into the shows to make them both unique and entertaining comes out in every aspect of the center itself. As we will be living here for at least the next 3 years, when we have guests it will be one of the features of Oahu that I recommend.

It was included in the guidebook, and I had signed up for it in case we couldn't play much at the beach, but it was definitely more fun than the beach☆★☆ Unfortunately, my husband ended up drowning in the wave pool (laughs), but it was safe, and the food was delicious, so I definitely want to go again!!

ガイドブックにも載ってて、海であんまり遊べなかった時用に申し込んでたんですが、海より（私たちは）断然面白かった☆★☆主人があいにく波の出るプールで溺れて（笑）しまったんですが、安全で食事もおいしくてまた是非行きたいと思います！！

We went on a family trip to Hawaii for the first time. Unfortunately, my middle daughter had a fever, so my wife and that daughter stayed at the hotel, but I went with my older and younger daughters and a friend. There were many slides, and my daughters were excited, riding various slides over and over again. In Japan, elementary school students are not allowed in large wave pools, which is disappointing, but here, they could play with floaties, and the kids were satisfied. I (the father) tried the shaka, and it was thrilling. The ocean in Hawaii was amazing, but the pool was also a lot of fun!

初めてのハワイへの家族旅行でいってみました。
あいにく、真ん中の娘が熱を出し、妻とその娘は二人ホテルで待機という状況でしたが、上と下の娘と友人と４人でいきました。たくさんのスライダーがあり、娘達は興奮してくり返し何度もいろいろなスライダーに乗っていました。日本では、大きな波のプールには小学生は入れなくて残念がっているのですが、ここでは、浮き輪を浮かべて遊べ、こどもたちも満足でした。わたし（父）はシャカに挑戦しましたが、スリル満点でした。ハワイの海も最高でしたが、プールも楽しかったですよ。

Would do again,also would recommend to a friend.
Drinks very good, but a little pricey if you ran out of tickets...

My husband and I enjoyed this dinner cruise. Food was very good, but we did not care for the salad..
Overall we had a great time....

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー１のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

I visited for the first time, and the staff were very cheerful and entertaining. I had a lot of fun snorkeling and seeing turtles. The sandbar was even more beautiful than I imagined. If only the weather had been nice...

初めて行きましたが、スタッフがとても明るくおもしろかったです。シュノーケルをしたり、亀を見たりととてもおもしろい会見ができました。サンドバーは、想像した以上にきれいでした。これで天気が良ければ・・・。

good shizzle. i liked it . it was very nice and romantic. but i think that there could be a better selection for the lobster, overall though, kudos and good job

Our family had a great time at this water park and my six year old son was able to go down most of the larger water slides after taking a swimming test.

It has the best wave pool ever. Huge waves! And there were several unique water slides from other parks we have attended.

I felt like for the money it wasn't the best deal because the park closed way too early! It doesn't open until 10:30 and at that time, it is a long line to get a locker for your items, so it was closer to 11am before we started enjoying the park, then shortly after that, we had to break for lunch. Then it closed at 4pm and none of us felt like we had enough time at the park. The lines were not long for waiting at the water slides, but most parks I've been to close around 7pm. This just seemed too early for the price we paid.

If I return to Oahu, I'm not certain we would go to this park again......unless my sons insist! :)
