All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in two years. It was early in the morning, but the water wasn't as cold as I expected. The fish swimming around are always the same. This time, there was someone who was visiting Hanauma for the first time, so I made a reservation, but the entrance fee is a bit high, so I think it might be good for a while. The driver was handsome and helped by purchasing the entrance tickets all together. The snorkeling set and life jackets were clean.

2年ぶりのハナウマベイに行ってきました。朝一でしたが、予想より水は冷たくなかったです。泳いでる魚は毎回同じです。今回、初ハナウマの人がいたので申込みしましたが、入場料もかるし、とうぶんいいかなぁと思います。ドライバーさんはイケメンで、入場チケットの購入をまとめて購入してくれて、助かりました。シュノーケルセット、ライフジャケットは綺麗でした。

I made a reservation to experience sailing in Hawaii for the first time. The meeting point was easy to find on the first floor of the Outrigger Reef, and we boarded from the beach about a 10-minute walk away. I don't understand English at all, but the translation app worked just fine! The crew members were very considerate, asking if I wanted a drink and if I wanted to take photos. I even saw a rainbow next to Diamond Head! It truly became a wonderful memory!

初めてのハワイで、セーリング体験したいなと思い予約して行きました
集合もわかりやすくアウトリガーリーフの1階で、歩いて10分くらいの浜辺から乗船。まったく英語がわかりませんが、翻訳アプリで大丈夫でした！クルーのお兄さんも、飲み物はいかが？や、写真撮ろうか？と気を使ってくれました！
ダイヤモンドヘッド横に虹もみえました！
ほんとに素敵な思い出になりました！

At the entrance, there were commemorative coins to choose from, which was fun! I didn't bring a towel since it would be extra luggage and I planned to buy one as a souvenir, but I was able to purchase it at the shop as planned, and I still love using the bath towel.

入り口に記念コインがあり数種類選べて楽しかったです♪
タオルが荷物になるのと記念に購入しようと持ち込みませんでしたが、予定通り売店で買えて、バスタオルは今も気に入って使っています。

I thought the male server was wonderful with his passionate service towards the store and his work. A few hours before my visit, I had eaten shaved ice, so I was quite full. I checked with a Japanese staff member if I could take my food home, and they wrapped it beautifully. The next day, I warmed it up at the hotel and enjoyed it deliciously.

テーブル担当の男性がお店や仕事への愛が溢れる接客で素晴らしいと思いました。来店数時間前にシェイブアイスを食べた為、お腹がいっぱいになってしまい持ち帰りできるか日本人スタッフの方に確認したところ綺麗に包んでいただき翌日ホテルで温めて美味しくいただきました。

I made a reservation for a date without checking the tide levels, but it turned out to be just when the tide was coming in, and the water level at the sandbar was around my waist. Last time it was about ankle-deep, so I felt a bit disappointed and reduced my rating by one star.

You can check the tide levels at <https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart>. However, compared to the last time when the weather was mixed with rain, this time there were more sunny intervals, so I felt like I got a bit of a revenge on that front.

The tour I participated in last time had a lot of marine activities, but this time I was mainly looking forward to the BBQ hamburgers. The patties grilled on the BBQ set on the boat were delicious. As for activities, I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling. I was able to choose not to wear a life jacket for snorkeling, which allowed me to enjoy skin diving (the last tour required a life jacket). I also encountered a lot of sea turtles.

A local staff member asked if my wife was a local, but at first, I didn’t understand what was being said, which was a bit amusing.

潮位を確認せずに行ける日程で予約しましたが、結果はちょうど潮が満ちてくる時間帯で、サンドバーでの水位は腰のあたりでした。前回は踝くらいだったので、残念な感じで星一つ減。
潮位は、<https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart> とかで調べられます。
しかし、前回の天気は雨混じりだったのに比べると今回は晴れ間が多かったので、そこはリベンジできたかな。
前回参加したツアーはマリンアクティビティが豊富でしたが、今回のツアーはBBQハンバーガー目当て。船上のBBQセットで焼かれたパテが美味いこと。
アクティビティとしては、ビーチバレーとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングはライフジャケットを付けないのも選択できたので、私としてはスキンダイビングも出来て楽しめました(前回のツアーはライフジャケット必須だった)。ホヌにも沢山遭遇することが出来ましたし。
ロコのスタッフから、私の妻はロコなのかと訊かれたのですが、最初何を言われているのか解らなかったのは御愛嬌。

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The guide was Japanese, and the entire trip was conducted in Japanese.

The activities included visiting the sandbar, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling, and we were very satisfied with the lunch, which was a charcoal-grilled hamburger.

By the way, alcohol is available for purchase, but soft drinks are free.

I was worried about whether my kids could snorkel since they are small, but they provided equipment for children, and there were no issues at all. The kids had an absolute blast.

One area for improvement would be to create a changing room. I wondered about the lack of a place to change on the way back. A few poorly mannered Japanese individuals were changing in the long line for the restroom stalls.

We had to ride the bus in wet swimsuits, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold. Since there’s no place to change, I think it’s a good idea to bring extra bath towels to cover up on the way back.

Other than that, it was fantastic.

8歳と6歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
ガイドさんは日本人で、道中はオール日本語です。

サンドバー、ホヌ見学、シュノーケリングに加え、お昼ご飯は炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーで大満足のアクティビティでした。

ちなみにアルコールは有料ですが、ソフトドリンクは無料で頂けます。

子供達が小さいのでシュノーケリングが出来るか心配でしたが、子供用の装備も用意されており、全く問題ありませんでした。
子供達はめちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。

一点改善して欲しいところは、更衣室を作って欲しいです。
帰りに着替えれないところはどうなのと思いました。
マナーの悪い日本人が数名、長蛇列のトイレ個室で着替えてました。

濡れた水着でバスに乗るのですが、エアコンが効き過ぎてて寒くなりました。
着替えれないので、帰りに体を覆えるようにバスタオルは多めに持参が良いと思います。

それ以外は最高でした。

There were some language issues, but the driver was kind. Hanauma Bay was very beautiful and amazing. I want to go again.

若干言葉の問題はありますがドライバーさんも親切でした。ハナウマベイとても綺麗で最高でした。また、行きたいです。

I had seen beautiful scenery of Kailua and Lanikai Beach on various websites and had been determined to visit them on my next trip to Hawaii.

Being able to move around freely at our own pace allowed us to relax in our favorite spots. One of our goals was to hike to the Lanikai Pillbox, but my wife found it too difficult, so we decided to give up halfway. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely time at Kailua Beach, where they lent us beach chairs and dry bags for free. The pizza we had for lunch at Bob's Pizzeria was also very delicious, and we were completely satisfied.

Next time, I will make sure my wife is fully equipped and we will tackle the Pillbox!

いろんなサイトでカイルア＆ラニカイビーチの綺麗な風景を見て次のハワイ旅行では必ず行きたいと思っていました。

自分たちのペースで自由に動き回れるので、お気に入りの場所でまったりと過ごすことができました。
目的の一つだったラニカイのピルボックスは妻が無理ということで、途中で断念しましたが、ビーチチェアやドライバッグも無料で貸してくれてカイルアビーチでのんびりと過ごせました。
ランチで食べたボブ’s ピッツァリアのピザもとても美味しくて大満足でした。

次回こそ、妻の装備を万全にしてピルボックスに挑戦します！

A catamaran running on the sea. It has a sense of speed and might be a tour you can't experience in Japan. Seeing Diamond Head from the sea, sometimes splashed by the waves, was a fun time. Since you will get splashed, it's definitely recommended to wear clothes that can get wet. The catamaran moves on the sea, so it can feel quite chilly at times, especially after getting splashed. The sea can be quite rocky, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication for stability.

海の上を走るカタマラン。スピード感があって、日本では体験できないツアーかも。海から見るダイヤモンドヘッド、時には波しぶきを浴びてワイワイ、楽しめる時間でした。波しぶきを浴びるので、濡れても良い服装が絶対お勧めです。海の上をカタマランが走るので、結構肌寒く感じる時があります、特に波しぶきを受けた後は。海上は結構揺れるので、安定様に酔い止めを飲むのもいいかも。

I enjoyed the hula dance, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson very much. It was great, and I would like to use it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

フラダンス、エルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン楽しく拝見しました、とても良かったです、次にハワイを訪れた際はまた利用したいと思います。

Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.

It was ok for the most part. I just felt rushed from what supposed to be half of day ended up being a 1/4 of the day. I just wish hours were long didn’t really get to enjoy the island as family.

It's quite interesting, but once is enough for me.

They gave us a lei at the entry. I was very happy because it's something you don't see often. The ukulele-playing aunt went around to entertain us, and the hula girls performed a couple of times to liven things up. The food was sufficient in variety and quantity, but the taste was... just okay? The main performance is more enjoyable as you get older. If you get tired from walking, being able to sit and enjoy is a big plus, especially for the ladies!

中々、興味深いけど、一回で十分かな。

エントリーでレイをくれました。
意外とありそうで無かったので、とても嬉しい☺️
ウクレレの叔母様が席を回って楽しませてくれたり、フラガールズ（２名）が2回ほどパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれます。
食事は種類、量ともに十分ですが、味は…そこそこ？
本編パフォーマンスは、年齢が上がるほど楽しめます。
歩き疲れたら、座って楽しめるのはポイント高いかもしれません。マダムには特に！

The meeting place was within a hotel in Waikiki, which was very accessible. I joined thinking it would be nice to meet them, but I was incredibly moved to see multiple honu (sea turtles) right in front of me! After snorkeling, during the cruising, I was a bit worried because my family got seasick, but it felt really nice to sail while enjoying the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head with the wind in our faces. Also, the captain, crew, and instructor were really cool.

集合場所がワイキキのホテルの中でアクセスがよかったです。
本当に会えたらいいなーぐらいに思って参加したのですが、何匹も、しかも目の前でホヌさん（ウミガメ）に会えて、大感動でした！
シュノーケリング後のクルージングでは、ちょっと家族が船酔いしちゃって心配でしたが、ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら、風を切って航行するのは本当に気持ちよかったです。
あと、キャプテンとクルー、インストラクターがめっちゃかっこよかったです。

Private table is not Private at all, you have about 2ft at the most between tables. Service was slow we were told by the server he was covering our area due to another employee not showing up. It took a while to get drinks or water refilled. They don't have condiments available for your meal. It was very warm during dinner and the sun was blinding. Take sunglasses. The top deck was a great area to get some air. There was a large amount of guest and I thought they do a pretty good job handling the amount of people on board but it may be too many for the guest to have a truly great experience

I was picked up from the hotel, and it took about an hour to get to the port, but being on the boat was amazing! The weather was bad, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the delicious hamburgers and the abundance of sea turtles and tropical fish were so incredible that my child hesitated to swim. ✨ The tour guides were friendly, attentive, and all very nice. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I'm glad we booked the tour. I hope we can see the sandbar next time!

ホテルに迎えに来てもらって港までの1時間かかったけど、船の上は最高でした！天気が悪くサンドバー見れなかったけど、美味しいハンバーガーとたくさんのウミガメ、熱帯魚がいっぱいすぎて子供が泳ぐのを躊躇してしまったほど海は素晴らしかったです✨
ツアーガイドの人も気さくで、よく気が付く、良い方ばかりでした
初めてのハワイ旅行だったのですがツアーを組んでよかったねです
次回はサンドバーが見れますように！

This experience was amazing! The waterfall swim was the perfect way to begin the adventure. And then the luau itself was incredible. Much love and respect for the awesome drummers, dancers, fire spinners, and the kindness shown by all. Highly recommend!

It felt like Presley and Michael Jackson took it easy. For those in their 30s and 40s, it might not be that great. The show lasted about 1 hour and 20 minutes, and it went by in a flash. I think even the seats in the back are sufficient.

プレスリー＆マイケルジャクソンは楽したという感じです
３０代４０代の方には、いまいちかな～
場所はショーは約１時間２０分、あっという間でした
後ろの席でも充分だと思います

Best time on island when we are here. Highly recommended. The crew is friendly and safety is readily apparent. Shy is a great captain and knows her stuff! The hospitality and food are above reproach. Value throughout the trip and worth every bit. Nothing short of spectacular and the opportunity to see Sea Turtles, fish of different species, and Rays. Best value we have found near the North Shore.

It's a show with songs that everyone knows, so both adults and children can enjoy it. During the performance, taking photos is allowed, and there is a greeting session after the show, so you can take plenty of memorable pictures. The 90-minute show went by in no time!

誰もが知ってる曲ばかりなので、大人も子どもも楽しめるショーです。
上映中は写真もOKで、ショーのあとにはグリーディングもあるので、思い出の写真がたくさんとれます。
90分あっという間のショーでした！

It would be nice if the back ground music was not exist. Since the sailing time only with soft wave sound, would be my best prefered environment.

I ordered a $150 course. The flavors of the meat and pasta were excellent, and it was very delicious. I also ordered a bottle of sparkling wine for about $80. The price of the meal included the tip, which was reassuring given the current weak yen. It seems to be a very popular restaurant, as it was fully booked. I'm glad I made the reservation through Veltra. There was also a Japanese staff member at the restaurant who provided detailed explanations. This is a restaurant I would like to visit again.

150ドルのコースを注文しました。肉やパスタの味が最高で、とても美味しかったです。80ドルくらいのスパークリングワインのボトルを注文しました。料理はチップ代が込みで、円安のいまは安心でした。とても人気店のようで、満席でした。予約も兼ねて、ベルトラで申し込んで良かったです。レストランのスタッフさんも日本人がいて、説明も詳しくしてくれました。またリピートしたいレストランです

I thought it might be too early for my preschooler, but after considering the meal option, I decided that the show alone would be fine since the duration might be too long for young children. The location was also convenient, so we participated to create some travel memories.

I was worried about my child possibly falling asleep or getting fussy during the show, but it turned out to be a vibrant performance with classic songs, and my child seemed to particularly enjoy the hula dance. The seating was not too close to the front, which allowed my child to see the entire performance, and that turned out to be a good thing.

The check-in process was smooth, and the optional commemorative photo session we had signed up for went quickly. We also bought drinks for both the child and adults at the bar counter (since it's paid, some people choose not to order), so we didn't get thirsty during the show and had a great time.

There were also familiar songs from Moana, making it a show that the whole family could enjoy, so we were very satisfied. Initially, I had a lot of worries, but I’m really glad we were able to see it and create wonderful memories.

At the end, there was a photo opportunity with the stars in the hallway, but since my child looked sleepy, we decided to skip it. We had signed up for the initial photo option, so we didn't get a picture with the stars, but it was definitely the right choice to sign up.

It was also nice that there were plenty of shops open after the show, so it didn’t feel scary at all. If you’ve never seen it before, I highly recommend this show!

未就学児にはまだ早いかな？と思いましたが、食事付きと悩んだ結果、未就学児の子連れには拘束時間が長いという判断でショーだけなら大丈夫だろうと立地も行きやすい良い場所だったので、旅の思い出に参加してきました。
未就学児が途中、寝てしまったりぐずったらどうしようかと心配してましたが、ショーは華やかで名曲、特にフラダンスが気に入ったようで楽しそうに観ていました。
席も前の方ではなくて子供は全体を見渡せて楽しかったようで逆に良かったです。
受付もスムーズでオプションで申し込んでおいた記念撮影もサクサク進みました。バーカウンターで子供と大人の飲み物も買って（有料なので注文しない人もいます）鑑賞中も喉が乾くこともなく楽しめました。
子供も知ってるモアナの選挙もあったり家族で楽しめたショーだったので大変満足です。最初は心配だらけでしたが本当に観られて良い思い出を作る事ができました。
最後は廊下でスターとの写真サービスがありますが、子供が眠そうだったので断念しました。
最初のオプション写真サービスには申し込んでいたのでスターは一緒には写ってないですが申し込んでおいて正解でした。
終わってもお店が沢山あるので怖くないのも良かったですね。一度も観たことないなら是非オススメしたいショーです。

My husband and I participated together. It was wonderful to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea while having some drinks. We also got to see dolphins and turtles, and the two cool female staff members were amazing! I would love to join again.

主人と二人で参加しました。
お酒をいただきながら海から眺めるワイキキも素敵でした。イルカや亀にも会え　二人のカッコいい女性スタッフさんが最高でしたよ！
また参加したいです。

A place where I played a lot as a child. I wondered if it would still be fun as an adult, and it seems it was! The attractions haven't changed much, but it was disappointing that the lazy river wasn't operating.

子供の時にたくさん遊んだ場所
大人になってもどうかな、と思ったらやはり楽しかったみたいです！
アトラクションもそんな変わりなく、ただ、流れるプールがやってなくて残念だったそうです

The weather was nice, and it's no wonder so many people participated. The guide was very happy! The cruise was amazing. I had a hearty lunch as well. I will continue to enjoy Hawaii from tomorrow.

お天気が良く、多くの方が参加されるだけのことは、あります。ガイドのお兄さんがとてもHAPPY
‼️クルーズ最高でした。　ランチもガッツリ頂きました。あすからもハワイを楽しみます。

It was more enjoyable to see it in person than to watch it on YouTube. On the way back, there was a service where you could take photos with the performers, which was also a lot of fun. The Royal Hawaiian Center is located in the heart of Waikiki, making it very convenient to get to and from. There were videos, and the music and dance were enjoyable to watch. The fire performances were also amazing.

ユーチューブで見るより、実際にみた方が楽しかったです。帰りに、出演者の方々と写真が撮れるというサービスがあり、それもとても楽しかったです。ロイヤルハワイアンセンターはワイキキの中心にあり、行き帰りもすごく楽でした。映像もあり、音楽や踊りも楽しく見れました。火を使ったパフォーマンスもすごかったです。

The tour was fun, but the high waves in Waikiki and the simple life jackets that resembled airplane life vests seemed difficult for my 7-year-old child for snorkeling. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was enjoyable to sail out with the yacht's sails up. It might be fine for children who are strong swimmers and accustomed to snorkeling.

ツアーは楽しかったですが、
7歳の子供にはワイキキの高い波と、
飛行機の救命胴衣のような簡易ライフジャケットはシュノーケルには難しかったようです。
シュノーケルでウミガメも見れましたし、
ヨットの帆を張って沖まで行ったりして楽しかったです。
泳力とシュノーケル慣れのある子供なら大丈夫かも。

During our visit to Hawaii, we decided to book a tour to Diamond Head for Sunrise Hiking. It was the best decision we made. Blue Lei Hawaii Tours provided excellent customer service from the beginning to the end. The driver arrived early and was very kind and helpful. We also received a delicious donut at the end of the hike! I'm glad we chose Blue Lei Hawaii Tours, and I would highly recommend using them for any of your tour needs.

Best thing we could do !! Very lucky to see turtles and dolphins !!
