All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I went last week. This was my second time, but since I went by rental car last time, it was easier and smoother this time with a tour, and we arrived on time. I felt like we got a bit of a bonus because we were allowed to enter the park first. With three kids, it was great that everyone could play in different areas, with the younger one in the toddler pool and the older ones in the wave pool. Additionally, I was satisfied because the wave pool had waves with a force that you don't find in Japanese pools.

This time, one child was free for each adult, so it was more economical than using a rental car.

My eldest son's comment: The various slides and the wave pool were great.

My daughter's comment: The lazy river and the wave pool were great.

It seems like we'll be coming here every time we visit Hawaii.

先週行って来ました。今回で2回目ですが、前回はレンタカーで行ったので、今回は行き帰りが楽でしたし、時間通りでスムーズでした。今回はツアーで行ったからか最初に園内に入れたので、ちょっと得した感じです。子供3人なので、下は幼児用プール、上は波のプールで、というようにみんながいろいろな所で遊べてよかったと思います。また、波のプールでは、日本のプールにはないような勢いの波が体験できたので、満足しています。

今回は、大人一人に付き、子供一人無料だったので、レンタカーを利用するよりお得でした。

長男のコメント
様々なスライダーと波のプールがよかった。

長女のコメント
流れるプールと波のプールがよかった。

ハワイに来るときは、毎回来ることになりそうです。

We participated as a family of four, with two parents and two children (a third grader and a kindergartener). We were picked up by a large bus, and after arriving at the location, we had about four hours of free time. It felt a bit short. We chose a package without lunch. The kids forgot to eat lunch while playing, so I think that was the right choice. The $8 combination plate (beef, chicken, corn, rice) sold at the shop next to the entrance was very satisfying. I highly recommend it! The park isn't very large, and even though it was Sunday, it wasn't too crowded. After experiencing all the attractions, I felt like that was enough, but my younger daughter seemed very satisfied with Hurricane Bay.

親２人、子供２人（小３、年長）で参加しました。大型バスでピックアップ、現地到着後、およそ４時間ぐらいが自由時間となります。少し短い気もします。我が家は昼食無のパッケージとしました。子供たちは昼食を食べることを忘れて遊んでいたのでこれが正解だったかなと思います。売店横で売っていた＄８のコンビネーションプレート（ビーフ、チキン、コーン、ライス）は大満足です。これはお勧め！園内はさほど広くはなく、日曜でしたが、そんなに混雑していませんでした。私は一通りのアトラクションを体験したら、もういいやという感想でしたが、下の娘はハリケーンベイが大満足みたいでした。

We went as a family. We visit Hawaii every year, but it was our first time in Kailua. I thought, if you just stretch a little, there are such beautiful places. I encourage everyone to definitely check it out.

家族で行きました。ハワイは毎年行きますが、カイルアは、初めてです。少し足を伸ばせば、こんなに綺麗な所があるんだなーと思いました。皆さんも、ぜひ行ってみてください。

We participated with our family of four at the end of March. First of all, the pickup time was precise. I was impressed that the coordinator's cute child was able to help out properly. The park was spacious, with a variety of attractions, and the kids enjoyed themselves despite the cold. The benefit of free admission for children made us feel like we really got our money's worth. If we have the opportunity again, we will definitely use this service.

３月末に親子４人で参加させていただきました。
まず、お迎えの時間が正確でした。
コーディネーターさんの可愛いお子さんもきちんとお手伝いができて感心しました。
パーク内は広く、色々な種類があり、子供たちも寒さにめげず楽しんでいました。
子供が無料という特典は、本当に得した気分で満足です。
また機会がありましたら、利用させていただきます。

We went!! Since there were a lot of people on the bus, we went directly from the hotel. We arrived by 10 o'clock. The kids were thrilled, especially with the wave pool, where they spent most of their time playing. There are wave pools in Japan too, but the ones there had stronger waves and felt like they lasted longer. The slides were exciting because the staff would push you from behind, giving you a great speed!! The wait time was about 10 minutes, so we were able to go on multiple times. For lunch, we only had burgers, and without a break, we went back to the pool… I brought strong sunscreen, but I still got sunburned! The next day it wasn't too bad, but they still said it hurt. I regretted not having them wear T-shirts… a lesson learned… I heard there were floaties available at the pool, so we didn't bring any, but there were so many people that there weren't enough, and several kids were searching for floaties. If someone really needs one, it's better to bring your own. Just be careful, as there might not be an air pump available. Four hours flew by, and on the way back, we relaxed and slept soundly. The kids said it was the most fun they had in Hawaii. Thank you, Alan!!

Lastly, I have a request: I didn't know where the bus stop was and waited at a different location at first. There was a place where sightseeing buses were coming and going, and when I asked, that was the right spot… There were a few people who also didn't know the location, and the staff was looking for them. I would appreciate it if you could provide a map of the bus stop.

I want to go to Hawaii again. I'm already planning to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center next time. I hope to rely on you again then! Thank you!!

行って来ました!!　バスも人数が多かったのでホテルから直行。10時には着きました。子供は大喜びで　特に波のプールがお気に入りで　ほとんどをそこで遊んでました。日本にも波のプールはありますが　向こうのは波も強く時間も長く感じました。スライダーも　お兄さんが後ろから蹴り出してくれるので　スピードがついて迫力満点!!　並ぶ時間も１０分前後だったので　何回ものれました。お昼はバーガーを食べただけで、休憩する間もなくまたプールへ…　強めの日焼け止めを持っていきましたがしっかり焼け!　次の日ひどくはなかったですが　やっぱり痛いと言ってました。Tシャツ着せとけばよかったと後で思いました…　反省…　プールには浮輪があるとのことで持っていきませんでしたが　人がたくさんで足りず　浮輪がなく探し回ってる子が何人もいました。どうしてもいるという人は持っていった方がいいですね。ただエアポンプがない？ので要注意。４時間はあっという間に過ぎて　帰りはゆったり　ぐっすり寝て帰りました。子供はハワイで一番楽しかったと言ってます。ＡＬＡＮちゃんありがとう!!
　最後におねがい　・バス乗り場がわからず最初違う場所で待ってました。観光バスが出入りしてる場所があったので聞いたらそこでした…　やっぱり場所がわからなかった人が何人かて　お兄さんが探してました。できればバス乗り場の地図を載せてもらえるとうれしいです。
　また　ハワイ行きたいです。今度はポリネシアンに行こうと今から予定してます。その時はまたお世話になろうと思ってます。よろしくねお願いしますね!!

I participated in a tour at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park with my 11-year-old and 9-year-old children. It seemed like they were looking forward to it the most during our trip to Hawaii. It was really fun, just as we expected. They were excited about the attractions that we don't have in Japan. We played for the entire time without even having lunch. I wish we had more time. The bus arrived on time, and we received cute souvenirs, so we were very satisfied. I would love to go again.

11歳と９歳の子供とハワイアン・ウォーターズ・アドベンチャー・パークのツアーに参加しました。子供達はハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しみにしていたようでした。期待通りにとても楽しかったです。日本にはないアトラクションに興奮しました。昼食も食べずに時間いっぱい遊びました。もっと時間があったら良いなと思いました。バスも時間どおりに来てくれて、かわいいお土産ももらい大満足です。また行きたいなと思います。

Last week, I participated with my friend's family.

Perhaps because it was spring break, there were a lot of people attending that day.

The guide and staff on the boat were kind and fun, and the food was delicious, so I have no complaints about the service.

On the boat, there were enjoyable and educational conversations, and we were able to walk and play on the sandy bar, and I was satisfied because I saw many sea turtles. When we disembarked, my mother was worried about the guide's throat and handed him throat lozenges. To the guide and the cute captain, please stay healthy and keep up the good work. It was fun. I will definitely go again.

先週、友人家族と共に参加しました。

その日は春休みということもあってか、とてもたくさんの人が参加していました。

船の担当のガイドさんもスタッフさんも優しく、楽しく、食事も美味しくてサービスに文句はありませんでした。

移動の船の中では、楽しい話や勉強になる話もあり、サンドバーの砂地を歩いたり遊んだりできたし、海亀もたくさん見れたので満足しています。
下船の時、母がガイドさんの喉を心配して喉飴を渡してました。ガイドさん、可愛いキャプテンさん、ずっと元気でがんばってください。楽しかったです。またきっと行きます。

We participated as two families. Since I had to take the kids shopping, I made a reservation as a way to atone for it... because there seemed to be so many fun attractions.

I was surprised when we got there!! There were attractions that I had never experienced in Japan, and it was so much fun. Both the kids and adults had an amazing time, forgetting our ages♪

There are many rides that small children can't go on, but if you're in elementary school, you'll definitely enjoy it, and the kids will be thrilled for sure ( *^_^* ).

You should definitely go at least once☆

2家族で参加しました。
子供たちには買い物に付き合わせるので、せめてもの罪滅ぼしのつもりで予約しました・・・。楽しそうなアトラクションが一杯ありそうだったので。
行ってみてびっくり！！
日本では体験したことがないようなアトラクションばかりで、とっても楽しかったです。子供はもちろん、大人も年を忘れ最高に楽しい時間でした♪
小さい子には乗れないものもたくさんありますが、小学生であれば満喫できますし、子供も大喜びすること間違いなしです（*^_^*）
一回は行ってみるべき☆

It felt like a pool in Hawaii, but since I was with my 7-year-old child, I decided to sign up. It turned out to be more fun than I expected. Outside food and drinks were not allowed, so it got very crowded at the ordering area during lunchtime. This can reduce your playtime, so I think it's better to finish lunch early. I didn't have enough time to conquer all the slides, so I want to go again! ♪

ハワイでプール？って感じですが、7歳の子供連れだったので申し込みました。
予想以上に楽しい所でした。
水以外の飲食物は持ち込み不可だったので、お昼時になると注文する所がとても混んでいました。
こうなると遊ぶ時間が減ってしまいますので、早めに昼食を済ませた方が良いと思います。
時間が足りなくて全てのスライダーを制覇することができなかったので、また行きたいです♪

I participated in the afternoon tour. The morning tour seemed lively with many participants, but in the afternoon, there were only nine of us, so it felt relaxed and homey.

Unfortunately, the sandbar was only knee-deep, so we couldn't see the sandy beach in the water. However, the weather was nice, and it was very beautiful.

We did see turtles along the way, but we were caught in heavy rain while snorkeling offshore, which was a bit chilly.

Captain Bruce and his wife provided transportation, and we had a great time during the ride as well. I think the afternoon tour is more recommended for those who want to enjoy a leisurely experience.

午後のツアーに参加しました。
午前中のツアーは参加者が多くてにぎやかそうでしたが、
午後は9人だけの参加でしたので、のんびりアットホームな感じでした。

サンドバーはあいにくひざくらいまでの深さで、海の中の砂浜にはお目にかかれませんでした。でも、いいお天気でしたので、とても綺麗でした。

途中ちゃんと亀も見れましたが沖でのシュノーケリング中に大雨に見舞われ、ちょっと寒かったです。

キャプテンブルースと奥様に送迎していただき、送迎の際も楽しく過ごすことができました。
のんびり楽しみたい方には午後のツアーのほうがお勧めだと思います。

We went as a family. The day before, our youngest had a fever of 40 degrees, and we were half resigned to not going, but thanks to seeing a doctor, the fever went down to normal, and we were able to go after all. However, I was surprised by how effective the medicine in America was. Now, getting to the main point, it goes without saying that this is the best view on Oahu. Even my grandfather, who is over 70, ended up doing the boogie board because of the incredible sense of freedom at this private beach. During the day, we took loco moco to the beach and ate together. By the way, there are several options to choose from, but the hamburger set seemed to be the best. Also, for couples, this is probably the perfect place to hide in the shade and talk about love. I also came here on my honeymoon, and I promised myself that when our family grows, I will definitely bring them here. This time, I brought my four children to Kailua.

家族全員で行きました。前日、末っ子が熱を４０度も出してしまい、半分諦めていましたが、医者に掛かったお蔭で平熱まで下がり、何とか行く事が出来ました。しかしアメリカの薬の利き方には驚きました。さて本題ですが、言うまでも無くココはオアフ１番の景観です。７０過ぎの家のジーちゃんまでもが、ブギボーを気付いたらやっていた位の開放感最高のプライベートビーチです。昼は、ロコモコをビーチに持っていって、みんなで食べました。ちなみに、何種類か選べますが、ハンバーガーセットが１番良いようでした。ちなみに、カップルの方は、木陰に隠れて、愛を語るには最高の場所ではないでしょうか～自分も、新婚旅行の時にも来まして、今度家族が増えたら絶対連れてくるぞと心に決めた場所でした。そして今回４人の子供をつれてのカイルアでした。

It was cloudy and cold, which was disappointing. However, I think it was interesting because the friendly staff accompanied us and entertained us with conversation. The snacks on the boat were very delicious. We walked onto the Great Barrier Reef, and depending on the weather, it could be amazing. We went snorkeling to see turtles, but it might not be suitable for beginners since it's in the middle of the ocean and reportedly over 10 meters deep. However, since we wore life jackets, I think it would be a fun tour for those who can swim.

曇りで、寒く残念でした。内容的には、気さくなスタッフが同行して、トークで楽しませてくれるので、面白いと思います。ボートの中での軽食は、とても美味しかったです。バリアリーフに歩いて上陸するのですが、天気次第では最高ですね。シュノーケリングで亀に会いに行くのですが、あまり初心者の人には不向きでしょうか、海の真ん中なので１０メートル以上あるらしいのですが、ライフジャケットはつけていますので、泳げる方には楽しいツアーになるかと思います。

The three siblings, two boys and one girl in elementary school, were able to enjoy themselves without getting bored, feeling excited and thrilled. They also provided children's wetsuits, which was reassuring. They safely and patiently guided my youngest daughter, who is not familiar with the ocean, to experience snorkeling. It seems that the fish and sea turtles that we saw, which we can't see at Waikiki Beach, left a lasting impression.

小学生の男子2人と女子1人の3人兄弟にも
退屈せずに、ドキドキワクワクで楽しめました。
子供用のウェットスーツも貸してくれて安心。
海に不慣れな末娘にも安全にゆっくり指導してシュノーケリングを体験させてくれました。
ワイキキビーチでは見ることができない魚やウミガメは印象に残ったようです。

I was really looking forward to the heavenly sea! The sandbar!
The weather was great on the day, and the sea was emerald green!!!

Taking photos at the sandbar was fun, but what was even better was snorkeling with the sea turtles.
At the sea turtle point, they said, "Only those who are confident in swimming should enter the water," which made me a bit nervous, but I think if you can do a freestyle swim for 20-30 minutes, you'll be fine.
The water was a bit cold, but once I got in, I quickly got used to it.

Encountering real sea turtles in the water was truly moving.
I wonder if their shells are about 1 meter in diameter.
The sea turtles were bigger than I expected, gracefully swimming through the water, and they were so cute.

After returning to the boat, we were able to see many more sea turtles, and it was truly a satisfying tour.
Apparently, this tour has a 99.9% chance of encountering sea turtles! Amazing!
In our group, 100% of the participants were able to spot sea turtles.

Thank you so much to the crew and captain!
In the photos taken by T-chan, the turtle's head was clearly captured (＾＾)

とっても楽しみにしていた天国の海！サンドバー！
当日はお天気もよく、海がエメラルドグリーン！！！

サンドバーでの写真撮影も楽しかったですが、
それ以上に良かったのが海がめシュノーケルでした。
海がめポイントでは、「泳ぎに自信のある方のみ海に入ってください」とのことで、
少しどきどきしたのですが、
海で20~30分の平泳ぎができる方なら大丈夫だと思います。
水は少し冷たかったけど、入ってしまえばすぐに慣れました。

そして、海の中でのリアル海がめちゃんとの遭遇は本当に感動的でした。
背中の甲羅は直径1mくらいあるのかな。
思っていたより大きい海がめが、海の中を飛ぶようにふわふわ泳いでいるのが
とってもかわいかったです。

船に戻ってからもたくさんの海がめを見ることができて、
本当に満足したツアーでした。
なんとこのツアー、海がめ遭遇率９９．９％だそうですよ！すごい☆
私たちの回でも、参加者の１００％が海がめを目撃できました。

クルー＆キャプテンのみなさま、本当にありがとうございます！
Tちゃんに撮ってもらった写真に、海がめの頭がちゃんと写ってましたよ(＾＾)

I was told that I would be able to see sea turtles, but the weather was bad and the water was murky, so I couldn't see them. However, it was great that only the tour boat here could go to the walkable shallow areas. I definitely recommend that everyone sign up for this tour! I plan to book here again the next time I go to Hawaii!

海がめにあえるということでしたが天候も悪く水がにごっていて見られませんでしたが、ここのツアーの船だけが歩ける浅瀬にいけるということでとてもよかったです。
みなさんも絶対このツアー申し込んだほうがよろしいですよ！絶対にお勧めです。次回ハワイに行くときにはまたここで申し込むつもりです！

The event I was most looking forward to this time was wonderful. The weather was great, and within 20-30 minutes of boarding, we encountered a mother and baby whale. I thought we might not be able to see them clearly due to regulations that prevent us from staying in one spot for more than 30 minutes and from getting within 100 meters of the whales. However, we were fortunate enough to witness the baby whale unexpectedly approaching the boat, allowing us to see them up close. After parting from this mother and baby, we encountered whales a few more times, but we quickly lost sight of them and couldn't observe them for as long as we did at first. I now think that meeting this mother and baby was a very lucky experience. I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy the cruise without any major turbulence. Additionally, they provide medication for those who are concerned. It became a very nice memory.

今回一番楽しみにしていたイベント、お天気も良く乗船20-30分で早くもクジラの親子に出会えました。法律によりクジラの居場所がわかっても30分以上一箇所に居続けられないこと、クジラから半径100ｍ以内に近づけないこと等あって、そんなにはっきり見れないのかなと思っていましたが、子クジラが思わず船に近寄ってくる場面に遭遇し間近で観ることができました。この親子と別れてからも何度かクジラには遭遇しましたが、すぐに見失ってしまい最初ほど長い間観察できませんでした。親子との出会いはとても幸運なことだったのかもと今は思っています。船酔いを心配してましたが特に大揺れすることなくクルージングを楽しめました。また、心配な方には薬も配布してくださいます。とてもいい思い出になりました。

I participated in the tour on the morning of March 6th. The weather was so nice that the sandbar was incredibly beautiful!! The scenery was so stunning that it looked like something out of a gravure idol photo book or a travel brochure, with a blue sky and blue sea. It really felt like a famous idol was there for a photo shoot. The tour guide also praised the sandbar today, saying it was the best!! I was truly moved the entire time. This tour is an amazing experience that you can fully enjoy when the weather is perfect.

３月６日午前中のツアーに参加しました。天気が良すぎてサンドバーが最高にキレイだった！！まるでグラビアアイドルの写真集や旅行パンフレットのような青い空、青い海が撮れるくらいの最高の景色。ホントに有名アイドルが撮影で来てるみたい。ツアーガイドのおねーさんも今日のサンドバーは最高だよ！！と絶賛。とにかく感動しっぱなし。このツアー、最高に天気がいいと文句なしに満足できる感動モノです。

You won't find a pool like this in Japan! The slides and half-pipes that drop from the height of a seven-story building are thrilling and so much fun! However, it can hurt your back from sliding, so I think wearing a rash guard would be a good idea. It was an incredibly fun place where I screamed a lot. Although I didn't have much time to stay, it wasn't crowded, so I was able to experience all the attractions, which I highly recommend.

こんなプールは日本にはありません！
7階建てのビルの高さから落ちるスライダーやハーフパイプは
スリル満点でとても楽しいです！ただ、背中が滑って痛くなるので
ラッシュガードとか着ると良いと思います。
ものすごい叫んで楽しいところでした。
滞在時間は多くありませんでしたが空いていたのでアトラクションも
全制覇できたのでオススメです。

I participated with my mother on February 20. We opted out of the shuttle service, but it was about $10 by taxi from Waikiki. I was worried about whether we would be able to see anything, but we were able to see mother and baby whales. We didn't see the big jumps like you often see in photos, but we were able to see the cute little whale swimming behind its mother. It was completely unpredictable where we would see them from, but luckily we were able to see them from the side where we were having our meal. There were also lei-making, ukulele, and hula lessons included, and the staff were all very bright and friendly, which made it a lot of fun. We had a wonderful time and were very satisfied!!

2月20日に母とふたりで参加しました。
送迎なしにしましたが、タクシーでワイキキから10ドルぐらいでした。
見れるかどうか不安でしたが、私たちは親子クジラを見ることが出来ました。
よく写真で見る様な大ジャンプは見れませんでしたが、お母さんの後ろで泳ぐちびっこクジラのかわいい姿を見ることができました。
360度どこで見れるか全く予測不可能ですが、運よく私たちが食事をしていた側で見ることが出来ました。
レイメイキングやウクレレ、フラレッスンも付いていて、スタッフの方たちもとてもみんな明るくフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来て、大満足です！！

We participated as a family of four. The bus arrived on time, and the staff was friendly. We arrived a bit too early and waited for about 20 minutes in front of the gate. It's better to arrive early than to be late. The weather was nice, but the temperature was low, and it was a bit chilly. The kids wrapped themselves in towels after getting out of the pool and sat in the sun. This time of year might be a bit tough? My 8-year-old daughter couldn't get in the pool because she felt cold after a while. As for the adults, we had a great time and tried all the thrill rides. The Shaka was thrilling and fun; we tried it multiple times. Most of the rides are thrill rides, so it might be irresistible for those who love them! There are also slides and pools for kids, so they can enjoy themselves too. My 10-year-old daughter tried all the thrill rides with me. I want to go again during a hotter season next time!

家族４人で参加しました。
バスは時間通り迎えに来てくれスタッフは親切でした。
早く着きすぎて門の前で２０分程待ちました。
遅れるより早く着くぐらいがいいですね。
天気は良いのですが気温が低くちょっと寒かったです。
子供はプールから上がるとタオルを体に巻いて日向にいました。
この時期はちょっと辛いかも？
８歳の娘は途中から寒くてプールに入る事ができませんでした。
大人は・・と言うと満喫しました。絶叫系のものは全部しました。
シャカはスリル満点で楽しかったです。何度も挑戦しました。
ほとんどの物が絶叫系なので好きな人にはたまらないかも？！
子供も子供用のすべり台やプールがあるので十分楽しめます。
１０歳の娘は私とと一緒に絶叫系に全部挑戦しました。
次は暑い時期に行きたいと思ってます！

When we went, it was the rainy season, so we imagined a contrast between the cloudy sky, the sea, and the white sandy beach, but it was a bit of a letdown. By the time we were leaving, the sun came out, which was really disappointing. The brightness of the staff saved the day.

私たちが行った時は雨季の為曇り空で空と海と白い砂浜のコントラストをイメージしていましたがチョット拍子抜けでした。帰る頃になり太陽が出てきて本当残念　スッタフの明るさに救われました

Due to the rainy season, I felt a bit of chill, but thanks to the kind and fun guidance of staff member YASUKO, my whole family was able to truly appreciate the wonders of Hawaii and the enjoyment of the activities (^^). It was unimaginable to think we could reach the sandy beach by boat, even though we were so far from land.

At lunch afterward, we were surprised by an incredible BBQ that exceeded our expectations (ノ゜？゜)ノ. After the meal, we finally embarked on the sea turtle watching tour by boat... I was so moved by the sea turtles popping up here and there when suddenly, about 20 meters away, I spotted some dorsal fins... (゜＿゜i) Oh no... I thought, "Is that a shark? (＠Д＠;)" but to my surprise, it was a manta ray! (⌒▽⌒;) For us, who are passionate about diving, the manta ray is the ultimate dream! Even staff member YASUKO got caught up in the excitement over the manta rays. Sorry, sea turtles (^∧^).

We experienced a double and triple joy. If we go to Hawaii again, this is definitely an activity we want to do again (^^).

雨季の為、やや寒さを感じましたがスタッフのYASUKOさんの親切で楽しいガイドのおかげで家族全員ハワイの素晴らしさとアクティビティの楽しさを実感できました（＾＾）陸からずっと離れているのに船で砂浜まで行くなんて考えられない世界でした。
その後のランチでは想像以上のBBQが用意され、皆ビックリしちゃいました(ノ゜？゜)ノ
食事が終わり、いよいよ船で海亀見学ツアーに･･･ぴょこぴょこ現れる海亀に感動していたら、２０ｍほど向こうに背びれがチラホラ・・・(゜＿゜i)タラー・・・『さ・さめかぁ(＠Д＠;』と思ったら、なななんとマンタでした(⌒▽⌒;) ダイビングが趣味の私たちには最大の憧れマンタ！！スタッフのYASUKOさんまで夢中になってのマンタ騒ぎになってしまいました。海亀さんごめんなさい(^∧^)
２重３重の喜びが味わえました。
またハワイに行ったら、是非お願いしたいアクティビティでした（＾＾）

I went to Hawaii for my wedding and attended with both families. It was my first time in Hawaii, and just seeing it from the ocean was quite something. The sea is beautiful too! However, it was disappointing that I didn't see any whales at all... They had various events on the boat, like ukulele lessons, hula dancing, and lei-making classes, so it kept us entertained even if we couldn't see the whales! The food was also pretty good.

But personally, I struggled with seasickness... (laughs) I didn't realize I was so weak on boats...

自分の結婚式でハワイに行き、両家親族で参加しました。ハワイは初めてでしたので
海から見るハワイ、というだけでもなかなかのもでした。
海もキレイですしねー
ただ本命の？鯨がまったく見えなかったのは残念｡｡｡
ちゃんと見えなくてもいいように船内にはウクレレやフラダンス、レイ教室など
様々なイベントが仕込んでいて飽きさせないようになっています！
ご飯もそこそこ美味しかったです。

ただ個人的には船酔いが･･･（笑
こんなに自分が船に弱いとは知りませんでした｡｡｡

I thought I would be able to enjoy whale watching elegantly on a luxury cruise, but I found it to be not particularly luxurious. The food was something that would suit Japanese tastes, but it was just "ordinary." As for the main attraction, the whales, I could only see a little bit of their backs far away, and I didn't get to see them splashing their tails like in the pictures. There were onboard activities like lei-making, hula classes, and ukulele classes, but since they all happened at the same time, I could only participate in one. Overall, it was disappointing. (I may have had overly high expectations...)

豪華客船で優雅にホエールウォッチングができると思い、申し込んだところ、特に豪華ではなかったかなぁと思います。食事は、日本人の口に合うものの、「普通」でした。メインのくじらは、背中が遠くの方でちょこっと見えたりするだけで、写真のように、尾ひれがザパーンとしているものは見えません。船内アクティビティは、レイ作り、フラ教室、ウクレレ教室とあるものの、３つ同時で行われるため、１つしかできません。総合的に、期待はずれでした。（期待しすぎた部分もありましたが・・・）

I went on January 13th. On the day I arrived in Hawaii, I signed up for this activity as a way to combat jet lag. I ended up rushing from the bus stop and arrived just in time!

Once on board, I was shown to my seat, and as I settled in, we set sail. The explanations were provided in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Even if I felt a bit tired and dazed sitting in my seat, they announced when whales were spotted, so I was able to see them. At first, they were quite far away, and we only saw spouts, which made me think it would be disappointing. However, the second sighting was a mother and calf, and we even got to see their tails. When you see that, you really feel like you've seen whales!

The meal was buffet style, but it seems you need to get your food at the beginning, as there are no additional servings later. The taste was okay, but I was able to enjoy some Hawaiian dishes as well.

On the way back, there were activities like lei making, hula, and ukulele lessons. I participated in hula and lei making, and I was surprised by how few participants there were.

There are various companies offering this plan, and I was initially concerned that this ALAN company, being cheaper, might have some drawbacks. However, that was not the case at all, which made me feel like I got a great deal!

1月13日に行ってきました。
ハワイ到着日に、時差ぼけ対策も兼ねたアクティビティーをと、こちらを申し込みました。集合時間ぎりぎりになってしまい、バス停から走りました！！
というのはさておき、乗船すると、席を案内され、そこを拠点に、船内観覧をしているうちに、出航。きちんと英語と日本語で説明してくれるので、よく分かりますし、ちょっと疲れてボーっとイスに座っていても、鯨が見えると、放送で教えてくれるので、見ることができます。始めはかなり遠くて、しかも潮吹きのみだったので、これでおしまいだと寂しいなぁと思っていたら、２頭目は親子で、しかも、テールも見れました。これが見れると鯨見た！って感じしますね。
食事は、バイキングスタイルですが、始めにとっておかないと、あとでの追加はないようです。まぁまぁなお味ですが、ハワイ料理もとれました。
帰路は、レイ作り、フラ、ウクレレレッスンのアクティビティーがあり、私は、フラとレイに参加しましたが、意外と参加者が少ないので驚きました。
様々な会社でこのプランありますし、その中で、このALANさんは格安だから、なにか差があったら？？と思っていましたが、まったくそんなことなく、ということは、とってもお得な気分に浸れました。

The children's pool and the wave pool were particularly good. (Feedback from a lower elementary school boy)
The slide was fun to go down. (Feedback from a kindergarten child)
There were thrilling attractions not found in Japan, such as a ride where you slide down from a high place on a boat, making for a packed and enjoyable experience. On the slide where you go down by yourself, you end up diving into the water at the end, but it's reassuring because they help you right away.

子供用プールと波のプールが特に良かったです。（小学低学年男子の感想）
滑り台が滑れてとても楽しかったです。（幼稚園児の感想）
日本には無いスリルのあるアトラクション（ボートに乗り高い所から滑り下りるもの）等があり、盛りだくさんの内容で楽しかった。自分で滑る滑り台では、最後に水中に潜り込む様になりますが、すぐに助けてくれるので安心でした。

This time, I tried to make good use of the free kids' campaign and looked for activities. My child wasn't tall enough to try the thrilling ones, but we had a great time nonetheless. I think it's especially good for families with small children. Hawaii is fun not only for the ocean but also for the pools!

今回も子供無料キャンペーンを有効に使おうと、アクティビティーを探しました。子供の身長が足りなくて、スリルがありそうなものは挑戦できませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。特に小さいお子様連れには良いのではないでしょうか。ハワイは海だけでなくプールも楽しいですよ。

I had some concerns about the incredibly low price, but our guide, Kazuiichi, was truly enjoyable and made me feel like I got a great deal. My family and I are not very good at English, but Kazuiichi's easy-to-understand and fun explanations in Japanese eased my worries. The park was also fun, and it was truly a fulfilling day. Thank you very much! I would like to use your services again the next time I go to Hawaii! Kazuiichi, you could also be a talent in Japan, right?

破格の料金にちょっと大丈夫なのかなぁという不安も実はあったのですが、ガイドのかずいちさんが本当に楽しい方で、とっても得した気分になりました。私も家族も英語が全然ダメだったのですが、かずいちさんのわかりやすく、尚かつ楽しい日本語の説明に不安がふっとぴました。パークも楽しくて本当に充実した良い一日でした。ありがとうございました！今度ハワイに行く時には又利用させて下さい！かずいちさん日本でタレントとしてもいけそうですよね~。

This was my third visit, and it's always fun no matter how many times I go. However, this time we had heavy rain and thunder, but thanks to the spa, it wasn't cold, which was great. (Note: Those under 21 are not allowed to enter, but some staff may allow it.) The kids played until the last minute. Not having a meal and having free drinks means there are no time constraints, and the Mahimahi burger might actually be cheaper and tastier...

今回は3回目でしたが、何回行っても面白いですね。ただ、今回は、大雨に加えて雷でしたがＳＰＡのお陰で寒くもなく良かったです。（注・21歳以下は入湯不可になってますが、監視員によってはＯＫです。）
子供達は、時間ぎりぎりまで遊びました。食事なし、フリードリンクの方が時間の制約もないし、反ってマヒマヒのバーガーが安くて美味しいかも。。。

I was moved by the sight of the boat racing through the sea breeze, filled with anticipation, but unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. Shortly after setting sail, we were fortunate enough to encounter a pod of dolphins. We received a re-boarding ticket, but our schedule was full, so we couldn't go again. It might have been a bit too early for this time of year. By now, it should definitely be possible to see whales. In our case, it was mid-December. The photo of the dolphins became our only memento.

海風を受けて走るさまに感動しながら期待に胸を弾ませて居りましたが残念ながら鯨に逢う事が出来ませんでした出航して程なく海豚の群れに出会えたのは幸いだったとおもいます。再乗船券を頂けたのですが予定が一杯でいくことが出来ませんでした。此時期まだ少し早かったのかもしれません。今頃はきっと鯨を見ることが可能でしょう。私達の場合12月中旬でした。海豚の写真が唯一の記念になりました。
