All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

It was possible to apply on the day, and I was looking for something that was quick and reasonably priced. We were the only Japanese people there, which made us a bit anxious, but it turned out to be a fun time! I was really happy to see the dolphins up close!

当日の申込みでも可能で、短時間、価格も手頃なものを探していました。
日本人は、私たちだけで、少し不安もありましたが、楽しいひとときどした！
そして、本当にイルカを間近で見ることができて嬉しかったです！

This was my first luau. Although not a traditional luau that one would see on a beach, this one was fantastic. The food was delicious with plenty to choose from, the staff was courteous and helpful, and the show incorporated traditional song and dance along with "Elvis" and "Michael Jackson"...all were so very talented! The seating in the theatre was comfortable, and the location was easy to get to. I highly recommend!

It was a great tour early in the morning, so it wasn't hot at all. There were light snacks on the boat, and the spam onigiri was really delicious. The captain stayed close to me since I can't swim, which made me feel safe while I got to see beautiful fish and sea turtles! It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I participated!

朝早いツアーだったので暑くなくて最高でした。船の中には軽食もあってその中のスパムおにぎりがすごく美味しかった。泳げない私に、キャプテンが横に着いて泳いでくれてました！安心して綺麗な魚、ウミガメを見る事ができ感動しました！とても楽しかったです、参加してよかったです！

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon for the first time. Upon arriving at the venue, we were greeted with a lei service and shown to our seats. We shared a table with people from various nationalities, and there was a drink service along with a pineapple dish prepared on the table. After a toast, we were guided to the buffet, which included satisfying options like roast beef, fried white fish, and salad. Between meals, there were hula dances and hula lessons that were sure to get everyone excited! After dinner, we moved to the theater for the show. Traditional Hawaiian hula dances, along with performances of songs by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, were featured, allowing us to enjoy familiar tunes and dances. From the meal to the show, we were thoroughly satisfied and never bored!

新婚旅行で初めてハワイを訪れました。会場に到着するとレイのサービスがあり席へ案内されました。
様々な国籍の方と席を共にし、ドリンクサービスと卓上にはパイナップルの食事が用意されていました。ブュッフェは乾杯の後に席ごとに案内され、ローストビーフや白身魚のフライ、サラダなど満足のいく内容でした。食事の合間にはフラダンスやフラレッスンなど盛り上がること間違いなし！食後はシアターに移動し鑑賞がスタート。ハワイの伝統的なフラダンスやエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなどが登場し、日本人にもとても馴染みのある楽曲やダンスで楽しむことが出来ました。食事からショーまで飽きることなく大満足することが出来ました！

- The pre-show meal included services that enhanced the mood for participating in the show, such as hula dance practice.
- The combination of Polynesian and rock (Elvis and Michael Jackson) brought a unique Hawaiian hospitality that made us laugh and brought tears of nostalgia.
- The integration of rock (Elvis and Michael Jackson) stars with the venue was fantastic, truly the pinnacle of entertainment.
- The dancers and singers were common members of both the Polynesian and rock performances, and each provided an impressive experience on stage.
- The opportunity to interact with the performers and take commemorative photos after the show was a service that will remain a lifelong memory. Thank you.
- Next time, I would like to bring my grandchildren along to enjoy it.

・ショーの前の食事では、フラダンスの練習などショー参加の気分を盛り上げるサービス
・ポリネシアンとロック（プレスリーとマイケルジャクソン）の組み合わせは、ハワイならではのおもてなしで大いに笑い、大いになつかしさに涙した。
・ロック（プレスリーとマイケルジャクソン）スターと会場との一体化した盛り上がりは素晴らしくこれぞエンターテインメントの極みでした。
・ダンサーや歌手のメンバーは、ポリネシアンとロックの両方に共通のメンバーであったが、それぞれ上質の舞台で感動した。
・上演後にホールで出演者との交流や記念撮影は、一生の思い出に残るサービスでした。ありがとう。
・次回は、孫も同伴して楽しみたいです。

This was our second trip on the Star of Honolulu, the first being 9 years ago. I paid more this time for an upgraded meal. The meal was good, but I think we would have been happier with just the buffet. The upgrade wasn’t really worth the price we paid. The entertainment was good and the views were spectacular! If we come to Hawai’i again, I think we’ll just get the lowest price meal and still do the cruise.

Wow! What a great time. Definitely a highlight of our vacation. A must-see!!

This time, we stayed in Hawaii to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. We participated in a VIP tour based on a recommendation from one of my mother's friends. We were able to take the elevator to the fourth floor from the Royal Hawaiian Center, Building B, to reach the venue. We arrived at the venue by 5:15 PM.

The meal was a buffet in an outdoor space with a roof. We received service tickets for a Mai Tai and another drink, so we had plenty of alcohol! The buffet offered a variety of dishes to enjoy. However, the waiting time for the meal was too long, so it would be best if that could be improved.

When it was showtime, we moved to the indoor theater. We were seated in the central front area, which allowed us to see the performers up close. The show was packed with entertainment and lasted about two hours! There were dancers who could perform in any genre, from Elvis to Michael! It felt more like an entertainment show than just a hula show, and from that perspective, it was very impressive!

Personally, there was one song by Israel that I loved, and I wished I could have heard a few more solo songs from him. At the end, there was a photo session, and everyone in the venue seemed to have a great time. I want to tell my friends about this experience!

今回は母の古希祝いでのHawaii滞在でした。

前方中央の席にしてくださり、演者の皆様も近く見応えがありました。
ショーは盛りだくさんであっという間の２時間ほど！！

個人的には、イズラエルが一曲あったのですがステキな声でもう何曲かソロで聞きたかったです⭐︎
最後にはフォトセッションなどもあり、会場の皆様大いに楽しまれてました。
お友達にも教えてあげたいと思いました！

When I was thinking about what to do in Hawaii, I decided to book a traditional Hawaiian show from Japan. Before the show, we enjoyed a lovely buffet-style meal. It was fun to watch hula dancing right in front of us while we ate.

The pineapple juice we had first was delicious, and it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii. The beef and fruits that were cut and grilled right in front of us were tasty, and I ended up feeling quite full.

The show featured not only hula but also performances resembling Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, making for an enjoyable time. The fire dance was impressive, and the content was very fulfilling. I thought this optional tour was a great value, especially during this time of yen depreciation.

ハワイでオプションでなにしようと考えた時、
ハワイらしいショーを見てみようと思い日本から予約して行きました。ショーの前には素敵なビュッフェスタイルの食事もいただきました。食事してある時に目の前でフラを踊ってくれて楽しかったです。
まずいただいたパイナップルのジュースが美味しくてハワイ気分を満喫しました。目の前で切って焼いてくれるビーフやフルーツが美味しくてお腹いっぱいになりました。
ショーはフラだけではなく、マイケルジャクソンやエルビスプレスリーも登場しそっくりで楽しい時間を過ごしました。ファイアーダンスも迫力があって内容がとても充実していました。円安のこの時期にこれだけ楽しめてすごくコスパいいオプショナルツアーだなと思いました。

I was able to encounter many sea turtles, and both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding were very satisfying experiences.

I was worried because there were many negative reviews, but the guide staff were kind and provided thorough explanations. I brought breakfast and water, but there were plenty of snacks and soft drinks available, so preparation was unnecessary! Although there are no lids, containers for storing belongings are provided.

Some areas of the sandbar can feel painful when barefoot, so it's good to have reef shoes. Also, since the UV rays are very strong, a rash guard is essential.

たくさんのウミガメに出会うことができ、シュノーケリングもサップもとても満足できる内容でした。

ネガティブなレビューも多かったので心配でしたが、ガイドスタッフは優しく、説明も丁寧でした。
朝ごはんと水を持参しましたが軽食とソフトドリンクがたくさん用意してあり準備は不要でした！
蓋はありませんが荷物を入れるコンテナも準備されています。

サンドバーは裸足だと痛く感じるところもあるためリーフシューズがあると良いです。また、紫外線がとても強いためラッシュガードも必須です。

My husband and I enjoyed this tour…The sand bar is totally unique.. it’s very cool to step out of the boat in what should be deep water and find the water to only be knee deep! The lunch that was provided was delicious.. hamburgers hot off a grill with sides. Then off to a second location to snorkel with hot chocolate or coffee available after ! The guys were very nice.. friendly and fun!

I participated because I wanted to go with the flow on the night of my arrival. The venue is on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, so if you're staying in Waikiki, you don't have to worry about transportation, right? We gathered after 5:00 PM and started with a meal. The menu is quite extensive, from drinks to desserts. There were tables surrounded by friends that were really lively. There were also tables where people who spoke different languages were happily chatting with each other. The highlight, of course, is the show itself. The spirit of "LET US ENTERTAIN YOU!!!" from all the performers was overwhelming, and it brought tears to my eyes. It happened several times. Speaking of which, I had a similar experience on the sunset dinner cruise "Star of Honolulu," provided by the Ohana (family) company of this show (which I participated in previously). I was fortunate enough to receive something from Presley, and I even felt, "Is it okay to have this much fun on the first day?" I sincerely thank everyone who was at the venue that day.

到着日の夜を流れに身を任せて過ごしたくて参加。会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階、ワイキキ滞在者なら移動の心配不要では？17:00過ぎに集合してまずは御食事。ドリンク〜スイーツまで、メニューもかなり豊富です。一卓を仲間内で囲んでやたら盛り上がっているテーブルもありました。異なる言語を話す初対面どうしで話しに花を咲かせているテーブルもありました。圧巻はやはりショーそのものです。すべての出演者の全身から「LET US ENTERTAIN YOU！！！（わたしたちがみなさんを心から楽しませます）」スピリットが炸裂、なんだか泣けてくる。しかも数回。そういえばこちらのショーのオハナ（ファミリー）カンパニーが提供するサンセット・ディナークルーズ「スターオブホノルル号」でもそういう体験をしました（以前参加）。プレスリーから〇〇を手渡してもらうという幸運にも恵まれ、「初日からこんなに盛り上がっていいの？」という気持ちにさえなりました。あのとき会場にいらした全ての方々に、心から感謝いたします。

It was the perfect day for a cruise. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was great. Lunch grilled on the boat was wonderful. I'm a very picky eater and loved the burgers. Snorkeling was the best. It was a beautiful adventure out of a movie swimming around the reef. The views were amazing. I can't say enough wonderful things about the captain and staff on this trip. I will do this again next trip!

I had seen a hula show before, but this was a different kind of entertainment show! I signed up for the VIP type, and right from the start, I received a fresh lei. Since the welcome at the airport is no longer a thing, this really put me in a Hawaiian mood. The meal started about 40 minutes after the gathering time, but I was able to enjoy a Mai Tai (which you could choose to have with or without alcohol) while waiting. The Mai Tai was refreshing and delicious. I also had coffee and pineapple, and there were staff members playing the ukulele, making the waiting time enjoyable. After that, it was buffet and hula! The buffet had a lot of meat options, but they also served dessert at the end, so I ended up quite full. The VIP type included one more free drink, so I had beer while my mother had a non-alcoholic drink. My mother's non-alcoholic drink was sweet with a hint of coconut. During the meal, there was hula dancing and a hula lesson! After that, we moved to a different location for the entertainment show! It was exciting from the beginning✨ They performed songs that everyone has probably heard, like those by Michael, so even if your English isn't great, you can still enjoy it to some extent. For those who understand well, it would be even more enjoyable. After the show, we took pictures together, which became a great memory.

以前もフラのショーを見たのですが、また違ったエンターテイメントショーでした！ VIPタイプで申し込みましたが、行ってすぐから生レイのプレゼント。今は空港でwelcome！みたいなのがなくなってたので、ここでハワイ的な気分になりました。食事が集合時間40分後くらいしてからのスタートでしたが、マイタイのドリンク(アルコール有り無しを選べる)を飲みながら待つことが出来ました。マイタイさっぱりしてておいしかった。他にはコーヒーやパイナップルなどもいただけて、ウクレレを弾いてくれるスタッフの方も居たりで、待つ時間も有意義。スタートしたあとは、ビュッフェ&フラ！ビュッフェはお肉多めのメニューですが、最後にデザートとかも出て、なかなかお腹いっぱいになりました。VIPタイプはもう一杯ドリンクが無料で付いてたので、私はビール、母はノンアルコール。母のノンアルドリンクはココナッツがきいていて甘かったみたいです。食事の間にフラダンスとフラlesson！そのあと場所を移動してからのエンターテイメントショー！ 最初からドキドキで楽しめました✨ マイケルとかみんなが聞いたことはあるかなって曲をやってくれるので、英語がいまいちの人でもなんとなくでも楽しめるかと思います。ガッツリ分かる人だと、もっと楽しめる ショー終わった後に写真を一緒に撮ってもらいましたが、いい思い出になりました。

The buffet included a hula dance lesson and a show, making it a packed experience! The food was delicious, and I was able to eat until I was full. It was great that VIP guests could enjoy two drinks as well! Additionally, we could go to the food station from our VIP seats. During the show, we were also allowed to bring our drinks. The show featured not only hula but also performances by famous American singers, which was enjoyable! The final greeting was nice too! The staff member was handsome and very charming!

ビュッフェからフラダンスレッスンにショーと、盛りだくさんでした！
ごはんも美味しくお腹いっぱいになるまで食べることができ、vipの場合だと、2ドリンク飲めるのも良かったです！また、vipの席からフードを取りに行く形でした！
また、ショー中も飲み物持ち込み可能でした。
ショーはフラだけでなく、アメリカの有名歌手のしょーもあったので楽しめました^_^
最後のグリーティングも良かったです！
お兄さんもイケメンで癒されました♪

The powerful dance by the men and the graceful hula by the women were wonderful. I was delighted that the performers applied traditional paint on their arms. It's a bit pricey, but I definitely recommend it for a memorable experience in Hawaii.

男性力強いダンス、女性のしなやかなフラが素晴らしかった。腕に演技者自身が伝統ペイントを施してくださり嬉しかったです。少し高価ですが、ハワイの思い出に是非おすすめします。

It's a 5-star experience, and the price is around 35,000 yen per person, so I was worried about table manners... but those worries were unnecessary! It was surprisingly casual, as you could stand up and walk out to the deck during the meal. I think it mentioned that "men's dress code is collared shirts," but there were definitely people in T-shirts. The non-alcoholic cocktails were delicious!

5スター、日本円で35,000円/1人くらいの値段なので、テーブルマナー大丈夫かな…
など心配しましたが、いらぬ心配でした！
食事中に立って歩いてデッキに出るのも自由なので意外とフランクにすごしました。
「男性のドレスコードは襟付きの服」と書かれていた気がしますが、全然Tシャツの人もいました。
ノンアルカクテル美味しかったです！

One of my favorite things to do in Hawaii. I loved the hospitality of the crew, amazing views to the sandbar and while snorkeling, and the yummy snacks provided. I believe this was one of the best place to snorkel with the most clearest waters ever and closest you can get to marine life. Advice would be to book the earliest tour if planning on going on the weekend, it’s less crowded!

Our tour group was awesome!! So friendly and a fun experience. I appreciated the fact they had clean restrooms on the boat. They took their time to make sure we were all well taken care of with food, beverages and most importantly safety. Food was delicious well made burgers. We were able to get seconds once everyone was fed and there were leftovers which was really nice of them to offer for those of us who are good eaters ;) I absolutely love the Hawaiian culture and friendliness. Definitely can feel the ohana love for everyone.

I will definitely be coming back during my next vacation.

I was happy to encounter sea turtles, and the Japanese guide was kind and fun! The fish were honestly average, but I was glad to see the turtles!

海亀に出会えたところと日本人の案内の方が優しく楽しくよかったです！
魚は正直普通でした笑
でもカメに出会えたのでよかったです！

Since I was alone, I opted for the premium experience to fully enjoy it, and I'm glad I chose the front stage! The fire dance was also impressive.

1人だったのでしっかり楽しむためにプレミアムにしましたが、目の前のステージにしてよかったです！
ファイヤーダンスも迫力ありました

The water park has slides that are different from those in Japan, and both adults and children can enjoy it! The food was also great, featuring American cuisine, which was a nice touch.

I had reserved a cabana in advance, and it was definitely the right decision!

There was quite a bit of free space available, but since I went with children, having a designated area felt safer.

I went with kids aged 6, 4, and 3, and there were areas where even the youngest could have fun, so we were very satisfied! There were few Japanese people, which allowed us to really experience the local atmosphere!

I recommend going on a Saturday when they are open from 10 AM to 8 PM!

日本のウォーターパークとは一味違ったスライダーがあり大人から子どもまで楽しむことができました！食事もアメリカンフードが楽しめるので、その点も良かったです^_^
ガバナを前もってレンタル予約していましたが、予約していて正解でした！

フリーのスペースもかなり多くありましたが、子ども連れで行ったので専用の方が安心でした。

子どもは6歳.4歳.3歳で行きましたが、下の子も楽しむ事のできるエリアもあり大満足！
日本人も少なくて現地を感じれました！

10時〜20時まで営業している土曜日に行くのをオススメします！

We just did the show part and enjoyed it very much. We had a party of. 10 with 4 children ages 4-10. We all enjoyed ourselves, great show!

We loved this so much, the sandbar is like the most amazing pool with turquoise waters and stunning views. I highly recommend adding this to your next trip to Oahu. The staff and captain were not only very nice but extremely knowledgeable so we felt very safe at all times.

Our first times...suprisingly not what we expected, it was MORE than! Had so much fun and maybe we'll take another cruise soon.

We had a great time on this excursion. It was one of the best that we've done in Oahu. The highlights of the trip were spotting many turtles (at least a dozen), playing volleyball on the sandbar, and snorkeling at the reef. On top of that, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I will be recommending this to anyone I meet who is going to visit Oahu.

I had mistakenly made a reservation for the wrong date, but the staff's response was absolutely wonderful. Many of the staff members understood Japanese, and the service was really good. However, the content of the dinner started with a salad dressed with a tangy dressing, the olive oil for the bread also had balsamic vinegar, the pasta was tomato-flavored with a tangy taste, and the steak was served with a balsamic vinegar sauce... it was a parade of sour flavors that I didn't prefer. The asparagus served with the steak was also very tough at the base. Waikiki is expensive, so I understand, but as a Japanese person, I felt that the content for two people at 30,000 yen, especially with the yen's depreciation at 160 yen, was not justified. It was crowded, so the dessert also took a long time to come out, and I declined it. The staff was very kind, saying that takeout was also available. Thank you very much.

日にちを間違えて予約していたので、直前に変更して頂いたりと、
スタッフの方の対応は最高に素晴らしかったです。
日本語がわかるスタッフの方も多く、接客は本当に良かったです。
ただ、ディナーの内容が、
酸味の効いたドレッシングのサラダに始まり、
パンにつけるオリーブオイルもバルサミコ酢入り、
パスタはトマト味で酸味が効いており、
ステーキもバルサミコ酢のソース。。と、
酸っぱいオンパレードで好みではありませんでした。
ステーキの付け合わせのアスパラガスも根元がカチカチのもの。
ワイキキは物価が高いので仕方ありませんが、１６０円の円安のせいもありますが、
飲み物別で二人で3万円の内容ではないと感じてしまう日本人です。
混んでいたので、デザートも出てくるのが遅かったので、お断りしました。
お持ち帰りもできますよ、とスタッフの方はとても親切でした。
ありがとうございました。

At Sandbar, there was one SUP available for each group, and my family of three quickly took on the challenge of our first SUP experience. At first, it was difficult to maintain balance, but after several attempts, we managed to stand up. I think we were out there for about 30 minutes, but the time flew by.

After that, we went snorkeling, following our guide to see the sea turtles. We encountered large turtles resting on the rocks and others swimming, which was amazing. Additionally, we could freely drink water, coffee, tea, and enjoy apples and snacks on the boat. The only limit was one Spam per person.

The prices felt a bit high due to the weak yen, but it was a fantastic experience overall. The crew members were all very friendly, which made it even better.

サンドバーでは1組に1つ程度のSUPが用意されていて、早速家族3人で初めてのSUPにチャレンジしました。
最初はバランスを取るのが難しかったですが、何度かチャレンジするうちに何とか立てるようになりました。
30分くらいだったと思いますがあっという間に時間が経ってしまいました。
そのあとはシュノーケリングでガイドさんの後を着いてホヌを見に行きました。岩場で休んでいる大きなホヌや泳いでいるホヌにも出会うことができて最高でした。
また、船内の水、コーヒー、紅茶、りんご、お菓子などは自由に飲んだり食べたり出来ます。スパムだけは1人1個でした。
料金は円安でちょっと高めに感じましたがとても良い体験でした。クルーの方々も感じの良い方ばかりでとても良かったです。

We Had a fabulous evening, great shows and food was fantastic

The guidance was in English, but there were no issues. I was able to see dolphins and honu (sea turtles). Departing from the Sheraton beach made the travel easy.

英語での案内でしたが、
問題無かったです。
