All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

We participated with three children, including a one-year-old, and two adults. Other activities that included dolphin encounters and snorkeling seemed too expensive, and I thought the snorkeling might scare the kids. Additionally, there were limited boat activities available for a one-year-old, so I thought this sailing would be just right and made a reservation. The size of the boat and the duration of the trip were perfect for the kids, and by chance, we were able to see a school of flying fish and a turtle, which was exciting. The waves made the boat bounce, and the splashes of water were fun for the elementary school kids, while the preschooler clung to me in fear. I couldn't let the one-year-old roam freely, but they fell asleep partway through, allowing us to enjoy the ride at a leisurely pace. It became a very enjoyable memory.

1歳を含む3人の子供と大人2人で参加しました。他にあるイルカ遭遇やシュノーケル付きのアクティビティではシュノーケルはまだ子供が怖がるのと料金が高いと思っていました。また1歳が参加できる乗船のアクティビティも限られてたので、今回のセーリングがちょうど良いと思い予約しました。船内の広さや乗船時間も子供達にもちょうどよく、偶然だと思いますがトビウオの群れやカメも見ることができて興奮しました。波で船がはずんで水飛沫がかかります。小学生にはそれが楽しく、保育園児は怖がって私にしがみついていました。1歳児は自由にはさせられませんが、途中から寝てくれたのでゆっくり乗船できました。とても楽しい思い出になりました。

This tour is conducted in English, but even if your English isn't very good, they kindly assist you using translation software. When purchasing tickets or entering, the driver had informed us in advance that we should buy tickets together with the foreign guests who joined us as part of the same group, which made things really easy. Above all, it's a great value! Compared to Japanese-speaking shuttle tours, it's truly reasonable. There was plenty of time to enjoy, so we were able to relax on the beach until it was time for pickup!

こちらのツアーは、英語での案内になりますが、
英語がそんなにできなくても、翻訳ソフトなどを使って、親切に教えてくれます。実際にチケットを購入したり、入場する際も、相乗りしてきた外国人の方に同一グループとして一緒に購入してあげて欲しいと、あらかじめドライバーさんから申し伝わっているので、本当に楽でした。何よりも、コスパがいい！日本語対応の送迎ツアーと比べて本当にリーズナブル。滞在時間もたっぷりあるので、お迎えまでビーチでゆっくりできました！

We participated in mid-October as a couple in our 60s. Among the approximately 20 participants from Japan, everyone except us were newlyweds. There were also couples from Australia who were retired.

Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the white sand was not visible until the tide went out. If you want to walk on the white sand shown in the photos, you'll need to adjust your timing for participation.

However, with the blue sky and sea, the uniquely shaped mountains visible in the distance, and the cheerful hospitality of the crew on board, I felt a sense of liberation. We also saw sea turtles and manta rays. I would like to participate again.

If you're looking for clearer water and a variety of fish while snorkeling, Hanauma Bay might be a better option.

10月中旬に60歳台夫婦で参加。日本から参加された方20名程は、私たち以外新婚さんでした。他にはオーストラリアから来たリタイア後のご夫婦もいた。
時期的に潮が高くて、白い砂が見えるまで潮が引いてはいなかった。写真にある白い砂の上を歩きたければ、参加時期の調整は必要。
でも、青い空と海、視界に見える独特の形をした山、船上クルーの方々の陽気なおもてなしがあり、心が解放された気分になった。ウミガメとマンタも見られた。また参加したい。
シュノーケリング時の海の透明度や見られる魚の豊富さを求めるなら、ハナウマベイの方が良いかも。

I was grateful for the Japanese staff, but they spoke to me in a casual tone the whole time. You could say it was friendly, but there were moments that felt condescending, which made me uncomfortable. The weather was bad, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the photos, but there were light snacks and other aspects of the service were good.

日本語スタッフがいてくれてありがたかったですが、終始タメ口でした。
良く言えばフレンドリーなんでしょうが、上から目線に感じるようなところもあり私は不快でした。
天気が悪く写真のような景色は見れませんでしたが、軽食などもあり他の対応はよかったです。

One of the finest place to learn the history about Pearl Harbor. Just no words: beautiful memorial and harbor. Bought the tickets in advance and the process was quick and easy to access. Had a great time so will be visiting it again shortly.

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

The sunset cruise was absolutely gorgeous and worth of your time. It was our anniversary with my wife and had a wonderful evening with the awesome Hula show and with the friendly crew members on board. Customer service was excellent and we will be coming back shortly. Food was of course great too and my favorite part was the BBQ chicken with the MaiTai cocktail!

It seems that the sandy beach only appears during the summer, and without the blue sea and white sandy beach, the activities are the same wherever you go: riding boats, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Moreover, since there is no beach, activities are conducted by getting on and off the boat.

I participated in late October, which is just before the rainy season, and it often rains in the morning. Since the timing of the tides also varies by season, I think it's best to carefully consider the season and time of day when participating.

写真のように砂浜が現れるのは夏場だけのようで、青い海と白い砂浜がなければ、ボートに乗って、シュノーケリングをして、SUPをして帰ってくる、どこに行っても同じようなアクティビティです。しかもビーチが無いのでボートから乗り降りしてアクティビティを行います。
今回参加したのは10月下旬でしたが、もうすぐ雨期になる時期、午前中は雨が降ることも多いです。まだ潮の満ち引きの時間も季節によって異なるため、参加する季節、時間帯を事前に良く検討しておいた方が良いと思います。

From the photos, the cheaper options have a beer garden-like atmosphere. I chose the most expensive one. There were many people celebrating honeymoons or anniversaries, creating a calm yet lively ambiance with live piano and saxophone music.

Booked whilst in Australia, on the night it was easy to locate, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food and drink were plentiful and more than expected. The entertainment was very good and as whole the night was a fantastic event. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good meal and a show.

Everyone who participated in the tour was Japanese. They provided explanations in Japanese on the boat. Since I made the reservation without considering the tide schedule, when we arrived, the water was about knee-deep, and by the time we returned, it was at waist height. The waves were fairly decent.

I was able to rent a stand-up paddleboard, which was fun, and I also got to see sea turtles.

The snorkeling was quite tough because they didn't provide fins, and the waves were high. The water was murky, so I couldn't see many fish.

The photos I took while paddleboarding turned out really beautiful when I looked back at them later!

On the boat, we could enjoy warm coffee, juice, snacks, and spam rice balls for free. The apples were delicious. Since we couldn't see the sandbar, I think it's better to participate during low tide.

ツアーに参加したのは全員日本人でした。船の上では日本語で説明もしてくれました。潮の満干期を気にせず予約した為、着いた頃は膝上程度、帰りには腰高位になっていました。波もまあまああり。
サップを借りることができたので、遊べて楽しかったのと、海亀も観られました。

シュノーケルは足ヒレを貸してもらえないため、波も高く結構辛かったです。
濁っていたので魚はほとんど見られませんでした。

サップをしながら撮った写真はあとから見返したら凄く綺麗でした！

船のうえで暖かいコーヒーやジュース、スナック、スパムおにぎりが無料で食べれます。りんごも美味しかったです。
サンドバーは見られなかったので、参加する際は干潮時間に合わせたほうが良いかと思います。

The bus transfer from the hotel had some troubles, but the tour was absolutely wonderful. The bus driver spoke mainly English, while there was someone on the tour boat who could speak Japanese. It was my first experience with snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, but I felt safe starting snorkeling from a spot where I could stand. They provided a lesson on how to paddleboard, but it was more difficult than I expected. I'm glad I decided to go for it; it turned out to be a great experience.

It was too long of a day! Our bus left PCC after 9:20pm which meant we got back to Waikīkī almost 11pm. The day was great but the ending with the timing of the bus was a sour note.

I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.

The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.

半日かけたツアーに参加しないとウミガメには会えないかなと思っていたのですが、ワイキキ界隈で2、3時間程度で催行してくれるツアーでとても良かったです。

インストラクターの方が、ウミガメいる場所を随時教えてくれながらのシュノーケリングだった為、ついていけば会える！が叶えられました。何匹ものウミガメと、一緒に泳げたのがとても嬉しかったです。またハワイに行ったらお願いしようと思います。

One of the three captains spoke Japanese. Everyone was friendly and kept the atmosphere lively during the trip. We encountered sea turtles both on the way to the sandbar and while snorkeling! We had a very enjoyable time!

3人のキャプテンのうち1人が日本語が話せる方でした。皆さん気さくで道中盛り上げてくれました。
サンドバーに着くまでと、シュノーケリングしてる時にそれぞれウミガメに会えました！
とても楽しい時間を過ごしました！

My husband and I had a fantastic day at the polynesian culture centre.
We went to many of the activities and to the Gateway dinner. We felt it was excellent and a beautiful display plus we learnt a lot.
Thank you all so very much...
I was particularly wishing to go to a Luau and that was what I thought I booked from Australia before we went.....however discovered while there that I had booked the Gateway dinner. Bit disappointed but the dinner was lovely and the whole experience fantastic!!! Thank you all so much...

During Dinner Everyone So Kind and Nice !! We had our baby and a stroller and they went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. They were extra kind to our little one. A good family vibe.

Celebrating my wife's birthday on the Star of Honolulu! It was organized from the time we were picked up at our hotel by bus to being seated at our reserved table. The ship is divided by what package you purchase (excellent idea). We got a chance to watch fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel beach. But was wonderful was the breezes off the ocean in addition to the wonderful sunset while you have your meal. Your meal is brought to your table by the fantastic wait staff. Live music is performed while dining. Later, there is a hula/chaka show. Before you know it, the night is over. My wife received a special birthday cake that was light as a feather and delicious. We ended our stay in Oahu with this dinner cruise. Best time spent. Would do it again just for the sunsets.

We purchased tickets for the show only but walked past the all-you-can-eat buffet and I must say, it looked very good.
The show was very entertaining and well worth the money. I'd recommend this to anyone.

I capped off our 20th wedding anniversary with this Sunset Cruise. My wife and I were tremendously pleased with everything from start to finish. From the greetings to fireworks everything was on point. The food was delicious and the wait staff was impeccable. The live jazz music was great. I recommend you get the luxury experience with all the options. We enjoyed the 5 star treatment. It was classy and sophisticated. This will be a very memorable experience.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

I went on the first day of our arrival in Hawaii with my mom! It was so much fun! I'm glad we went on the first day, feeling like "We made it to Hawaii!"

お母さんと2人でハワイ到着日に行きました！
楽しかったー！ハワイきました！って感じで初日に行って良かったです！

The experience was very nice as far as the show however the food was not great at all very low budget set up and selection of food for the price as well as the fruit punch and water were in igloos

First, we crossed the fish farming pond in a small boat and visited several locations used as filming sites for movies.

After that, we made our way to the sandy beach and switched to a glass-bottom boat to head out to sea. You can see the majestic mountains, including Kualoa Ranch, from the water! The view was breathtaking, just like the pictures on postcards! We also got close to Chinaman's Hat, which was clearly visible. The color of the sea changed beautifully between the shallow and deep areas.

We stopped for a bit offshore, and our guide helped us look for sea turtles. This time, we spotted sea turtles surfacing for air four times, and one of them was huge and very close to the boat.

When the turtles were hard to find, our guide cheerfully suggested looking over there or pointed out an island that looked like a turtle. They were very engaging and even took photos for us, showing great hospitality!

One thing to note is that when switching to the boat heading out to sea, it stops on the sandy beach without a dock, so you need to time your boarding with the waves; otherwise, your shoes might get wet. I wore sneakers and managed to get on and off at the right time, but since we walked on the beach, I wouldn't recommend wearing shoes you don't want to get dirty.

まずは養殖池を小さな船で渡り、映画のロケ地で使われた場所をいくつか見学しました。

その後砂浜に渡り、グラスボートに乗り換えて、沖の方へ船で向かいました。
クアロアランチをはじめとする雄大な山々を海から見れます！ポストカードにある写真のような絶景でした！
チャイナマンズハットも近くまでいくのでよく見えます。
海の色も浅いところと深いところで変わってきれいでした。

沖の方で少しとまって、ガイドさんが海亀を探してくれます。
今回は息継ぎをする海亀が4回見れて、そのうちの1匹は船の間近で、すごく大きかったです。

ガイドさんも亀が見当たらないときは、あっちを見てた方がいいよ！や、あそこに亀の形に見える島があるよ〜など楽しくおしゃべりしてくれました。
写真を撮ってくれたりなど、サービス精神旺盛でした！

注意点としては、沖に出る船に乗り換える際に砂浜に船がとまっているので桟橋などなく、波が引いたタイミングに乗り込まないと靴が濡れます。
私はスニーカーで行きましたが、タイミングよく乗り降りできたので大丈夫でしたが、砂浜を歩いたりするので汚したくない靴などで行くのはおすすめしません。

The Sunset Dinner Cruise, a luxurious 5-star experience, has upgraded its seating options to include window-side choices. The piano performance and live show were dreamy. The optional wine was so good that I wanted to have more, and the time flew by.

サンセット・ディナークルーズ豪華5スターは、更にシートもバージョンアップし窓際をオプション選択ピアノ演奏と生のライブショーは、夢心地でした。
オプションのワインもお替りをしたいぐらいで、あっという間のひと時でした。

Small and intimate luau with a lot of Hawaiian history coursing through the show!

It was a really great ground, but you will be tired after exploring PCC.

The kids had a lot of fun, we think we would skip next but its worth it one time!

We were laughing a lot, which made our experience even better!

Food was delicious, creds to the chefs! The firework show as well was awesome.
