All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The SUP was enjoyable for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and parents alike! We were thrilled to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The staff were all very friendly. It was a good decision to bring a waterproof case for my smartphone!

サップは、中学生も高校生も親も楽しめました！シュノーケリングではウミガメを見られてテンションが上がりました。
スタッフもみんな親切でした。
スマホの防水ケースを持って行って正解でしたー。

This is my third time participating. I'm not a strong swimmer, but with goggles and a life jacket, I won't sink. The guide is very attentive, so there's little chance of getting lost or getting into dangerous situations. There were families with small babies, but the guide was very helpful, even carrying them, ensuring everyone could enjoy safely. The weather was calm, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly, creating wonderful memories. You can return in your swimsuit, but it's better to bring a change of clothes as you might get cold. There is a small restroom, so I went up a bit early and changed inside while it was still empty. There were spam rice balls, snacks, juice, and warm drinks, allowing us to take breaks and enjoy without pressure. I would like to participate again next time. Thank you very much.

今回で3回目の参加です。泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、ゴーグルとライフジャケットがあるので、まず沈むことはありません。ガイドさんがしっかりとガードしてくれているので、はぐれたり危険なことに巻き込まれることはまずないです。小さな赤ちゃん連れのご家族もいましたが、ガイドさんが抱っこするなど協力的で全員が安全に楽しめるよう素晴らしい働きぶりでした。天候も穏やか、ウミガメもしっかり見ることができ素晴らしい思い出となりました。水着のままでも帰れますが、体が冷えるので替えは持参した方がいいです。狭いですがトイレが1つありますので、私は少し先に上がりすいているうちに中で着替えました。スパムのおにぎり、スナック菓子、ジュースに温かい飲み物もあり無理せず休憩を入れながら楽しむことができます。また次回も参加したいです。ありがとうございました。

I returned home on a flight tomorrow afternoon, and I went there the night before. The location might be hard to understand just by reading about it, but there are clear video explanations on Instagram and other platforms, so checking in advance should help you navigate smoothly.

The food had a good balance of flavor and portion size (it's a buffet, so it's up to you). I mentioned that I have allergies regarding the welcome drink, and they kindly exchanged the Mai Tai for another soft drink.

The show likely resonates differently depending on your generation and preferences, so there might be moments that appeal to me and others that appeal to you. However, I enjoyed the entire show while maintaining the initial momentum.

Here are two pieces of advice for those who will be going:
(1) Check in a bit early. We arrived around 5:10 PM, and there were already quite a few guests seated. It gets crowded close to the deadline, and joining the buffet after the time has passed can feel like you're missing out.
(2) Use the restroom before the meal time ends. The transition to the theater happens suddenly and orderly, and once seated, it’s difficult to leave (this is generally true overseas, so it’s best to go when you can rather than thinking you’ll go later).

明日はお昼の飛行機で帰国、という夜に行ってきました。
場所は文章で読むと分かりにくいですが、Instagramなどでも分かりやすく動画説明されていていますので事前チェックしておけば迷わずスムーズかと思います。
食事は程よい味と量(ビュッフェなのでご本人次第)。ウェルカムドリンクはアレルギーがあるのでとお願いしたらマイタイから別のソフトドリンクに交換していただけました。
ショーはおそらく世代や趣向によって刺さるツボが違うので、ある場面では私が、別の場面ではあなたが、というノリになるかと思いますが、最初の勢いを維持したままショー全体が進行し楽しめました。
これからいかれる方へのアドバイスとして2点。
(1)少し早めにチェックインする。我が家は17:10頃に行きましたが既に先客がそれなりに着席されていました。締切間際は混むのと、時間すぎてからビュッフェに参加するのは出遅れ感出てせっかくなのに残念です。
(2)お手洗いは食事の時間が終わる少し前までに済ませておく。
シアターへは突然かつ整然と移動することになり、着席後は離席もしにくいです(海外全般の話になるかと思いますが、後で行こうとは思わずに行ける時に行く、というのが基本)。

Show the app at the reception, sign the documents, and board barefoot. The Diamond Head is first visible on the right side from the stairs, and later on the left side. We saw humpback whales and sea turtles. The wind was strong, and my hat flew away. It was about a one and a half hour cruise.

受付でアプリを見せて書類にサインをして、裸足で乗船。階段から右側が最初にダイヤモンドヘッドが見え、左側が後からダイヤモンドヘッド側になります。
座頭鯨と海亀が見えました。
風が強く帽子は飛ばされます。
1時間半ぐらいのクルーズでした。

We did not have the dinner. We only purchased show tickets. The show was enjoyable. A mix of Hawaiian tradition with some rock and roll.

I'm glad I was able to enjoy food that can only be experienced in Hawaii. However, even though the meeting time was at 5:30 PM, we didn't start eating until around 6:15 to 6:30 PM, which was quite a wait. The food is delicious, so I recommend it for those who are patient.

It was great that the waiter communicated with us in Japanese.

The show was very entertaining, and we had good seats. The venue was cold, so it's better to bring a jacket. It was a great experience to see hula dancing from various generations. The performances, including those mimicking Elvis and Michael Jackson, got the audience excited, but for kids and younger generations like us, it wasn't very familiar, so we couldn't tell how similar they were. The kids were fast asleep. But it was really cool. I highly recommend it for people of that generation!

ハワイでしか体験できないご飯が食べられてよかったです。しかし、集合が17時30分なのに、ご飯を食べ始められたのは18時15〜30分ととても待ちました。ご飯はおいしいので気が長い方にはおすすめです。
ウェイトレスのお兄さんが日本語を交えながらコミュニケーションをとってくれてよかったです。

ショーはとても面白く、いい席で見せてもらえます。ショー会場は寒いので上着があった方がいいです。様々な年代のフラダンスを見れていい経験となりました。
レイビス？やマイケルジャクソンのモノマネで会場が盛り上がりますが、子供や若い世代の自分たちには馴染みが薄く似ているかはよくわからなかったです。子供は爆睡していました。でもとてもかっこよかったです。世代の人はとってもおすすめです！！

When I went for the first time, it was not crowded, and I had so much fun playing on the slides that I went again! This time was also very enjoyable, so I will go again! By the way, I always rent a car from Waikiki to go to the pool and stop by the outlet on the way back.

初めて行った時に空いててスライダーで沢山遊び、楽しすぎたのでもう１回行きました！　今回もとても楽しかったので、また行きます！ちなみに、いつもワイキキからレンタカーでプールへ行き、帰りにアウトレットに寄って帰ってきます。

My parents and I had a great time. Loved that the performers were energetic. The food was great, especially the beef roast. Would go again and definitely recommend. Loved the ukelele performer, she sung a song for my parent's anniversary. It was a nice personal touch. Elvis and MJ impersonators were spot in and didn't try too hard. The fire performer was the cutest and was a nice surprise. I had the chance to learn a hula dance. Would recommend if you do not have a vip package to save your complimentary mai Tai to drink during dinner, lol I regretted not doing that. You do have the option to purchase more drinks though. I had virgin one and it was so tasty. The workers are polite and helpful. A great overall experience.

We had the best time with the Star of Honolulu. The captain was very welcoming, and the staff was first rate. Our restaurant wait person Tina, was very prompt in meeting our needs. She was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was excellent, and the food was tasty and plentiful. We sat next to a couple of other travelers and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I would recommend this cruise to everyone!

The captivating dance was impressive and very enjoyable. I think my satisfaction would increase even more if there were more experiences that included dance. After all, the weak yen is quite severe.

魅惑のダンスは見応えがあって、とても良かったです。もうちょっとダンスを含めて体験が多いと満足感が更に増すと思います。何せ、円安がひどいので。

I signed up for this tour to express my gratitude to my mother during our trip to Hawaii, as a son from a mother-son family.

Even though we arrived just in time for the meeting, the staff kindly guided us, and we enjoyed a welcome drink of Mai Tai. The alcohol was strong, so it really hit me due to the jet lag, but from there, we enjoyed hula dancing, a buffet, and a show while feeling great.

The staff members who performed hula during the buffet danced tirelessly, which was impressive. One of the musicians played the ukulele and sang a Teresa Teng song after realizing we were Japanese. My mother even participated in the hula dance lesson and was moved throughout the experience.

I was very excited during the show since I personally love Michael Jackson, and the girl who sang the song from Moana gave me goosebumps with her singing ability. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

At first, I hesitated to sign up, but I'm glad I did. Thank you very much.

The food was delicious, so I will upload pictures of the meals.

母息子家族の息子から母への感謝を込めてのハワイ旅行で
ハワイにきた実感を母に伝えたく今回このツアーに申し込みました。
集合時間ギリギリに到着したにも関わらず、
スタッフの方々が心よく案内してくれ、
そこからウェルカムドリンクでマイタイ飲みました。
アルコールが強いので時差ボケの体にはすごく沁みましたが、そこからフラダンス、ビュッフェ、ショーと、とっても気持ちが良い気分のまま楽しめました。
特にビュッフェ中のフラダンスのスタッフの方々は、
ずっと連続で踊りっぱなしで心配になる程必死に踊ってくれたり、ウクレレを引いてくれる方は、
僕らが日本人と分かったあとテレサテンの歌を披露、
フラダンスのレッスンにも母が参加し、母は、終始感動してました。
ショーの方も私自身マイケルジャクソンが好きなのでとても興奮しましたし、
モアナの歌を歌ってくれた女の子の歌唱力にも鳥肌。
とても忘れられない体験となりました。
最初は申し込もうか悩みましたが、
観れてよかったです。
本当にありがとうございました。

ご飯も美味しかったので画像はご飯をご飯類をアップします。

I had always wanted to experience a helicopter tour, and I finally had the opportunity to board one this time.

The meeting point was at Blue Hawaiian Helicopters in the Honolulu Airport area. I took an Uber from Waikiki, and since the address is registered, I arrived smoothly. The Uber fare fluctuates, but it was about $30-35.

After arriving, I checked in at the counter. Large luggage is not allowed inside, so I stored my bags in lockers or the office and waited with just my smartphone and sunglasses until departure.

Once all the guests in the same time slot gathered, we watched a safety video for about 10 minutes before departure. The safety video not only covered important safety points but also included exciting visuals that captivated my attention. It was entirely in English, but there were Japanese subtitles, so I could grasp the important points clearly.

Fortunately, my flight was piloted by a Japanese pilot named KOJI. Before departure, he asked in Japanese, "Do you have any questions?" which made me feel more at ease.

After watching the video, once we fastened our seatbelts, it was finally time to board the helicopter. Stepping out of the office, we were on the runway of Honolulu Airport! It was thrilling to walk on a runway that is usually off-limits. I could view international flights from a different perspective.

Once on the helicopter, we did a microphone test, and off we went. KOJI mixed English and Japanese in his explanations, so I felt zero anxiety and was able to enjoy the flight. The sensation of floating was incredible, unlike anything I experienced on a plane. We took off from Honolulu Airport with movie music playing in the background.

The first thing visible from the sky was the Ala Moana and Waikiki area. It was a strange experience to look down at the area where I had just stayed and my favorite Ala Moana Beach Park. The ocean around Waikiki was breathtaking! I was constantly amazed by the varying shades of blue in the water.

The helicopter flew over Waikiki and passed above Diamond Head. After that, we reached the popular sandbar, which truly looked stunning, appearing as a bright blue patch in the ocean, just like in the photos.

Before I knew it, the background music had changed to Hawaiian music, and we continued to enjoy the view over Kualoa Ranch and the lush Ko'olau Mountains. I was thrilled when we approached "Saycrad Fall," which can only be seen from a helicopter.

The helicopter kept moving, and we arrived near the North Shore. As I enjoyed the peaceful scenery of sprawling farms and windmills, I spotted the Dole Plantation below. The popular maze is hard to see from above, but viewing it from the sky gave me a better understanding of its layout.

The final part of the course was Pearl Harbor. I could see ships docked, the serious atmosphere, and the battleship Missouri from above. It was striking to realize how Pearl Harbor served as a military base. I was reminded that Hawaii was the starting point of the Pacific War, and I imagined the views seen by Japanese and American pilots. I experienced an unexpected "learning" during the helicopter tour over Pearl Harbor.

KOJI's explanations were clear and lively, and the 50-minute course flew by. While it’s not a budget-friendly tour, I can confidently say it offers an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend the helicopter tour as a once-in-a-lifetime emotional experience!

一度は体験してみたかったヘリ遊覧飛行。機会をいただき、この度、搭乗させていただきました。

集合場所はホノルル空港エリアのBlue Hawaiian Helicopter社です。私はワイキキからUberで向かいましたが、住所登録もされているのでスムーズに到着できました。
Uberの料金はときにより変動していますが、およそ30-35ドル程度でした。

到着後はチェックインカウンターで手続きです。大きな手荷物は持って入れないので、ロッカーや事務所に預かってもらい、スマホやサングラスだけを手元に出発まで待機します。

同時間帯のお客さんが全員揃ったら出発前に10分ほどの安全ビデオを見ます。安全ビデオは、安全に関する点だけでなくワクワクするような映像も散りばめられていて、つい見入ってしまうものでした。
全編英語ですが、日本語の字幕もついているので、大事なポイントはしっかり把握することが可能です。

ラッキーなことに、私のフライトは日本人パイロットのKOJIさんが担当くださいました。
出発前にも日本語で「わからないことはありますか？」など聞いていただけ、より安心感が強まります。

ビデオ視聴後、安全ベルトを装着したら、いよいよヘリコプターへ搭乗です。
事務所を出るとそこはホノルル空港の滑走路！普段は歩けない滑走路の上を歩く機会、テンションが上がります。
国際線の飛行機もいつもと違う視点で眺めることができました。

ヘリコプターに乗ったら機内用のマイクテストをし、いざ出発です。
KOJIさんが英語、日本語を混ぜて説明してくれるので、フライト開始前も不安ゼロで楽しめました。飛行機とは違う浮遊感がたまらないですね。映画音楽をBGMに聞きながら、ホノルル空港を颯爽と飛び立ちます。

上空から1番に見えてくるのはアラモアナ・ワイキキエリア。
さっきまで私が滞在していた地域や、大好きなアラモアナ・ビーチパークを上から眺めるのは不思議な体験でした。
ワイキキの海は絶景ですね！
海の青色がところどころ違っていることもわかり、感動しっぱなしでした。

ヘリコプターはワイキキを超え、ダイヤモンドヘッド上空を通過します。
その先はツアーでも大人気のサンドバー。本当に海のその部分だけ青白く浮かび上がっている情景は、写真の通りで見事でした。

気づけばBGMはハワイアンミュージックに変わっており、続いてクアロア・ランチの上空、コオラウ山脈の緑を眺めていきます。
ヘリコプターでしか見ることができない「Saycrad Fall」に近づいたときは嬉しかったです。

ヘリコプターはどんどん進み、ノースショア付近にたどり着きます。
のどかな農場が広がる光景、風車が並ぶ景色を気持ちよく眺めていると、眼下にドール・プランテーションが。
人気の迷路は、上空から見ないと全貌が見えづらいですね。上から見ることでよく様子がわかりました。

コースの最後は真珠湾です。実際に船が停泊している様子や、ものものしい雰囲気、戦艦ミズーリ等も上から見ることができました。
いかに真珠湾が軍用拠点だったか。自然にできた入り組んだ港湾の特異さにも納得させられました。
ハワイが太平洋戦争の発端だったことを改めて思い出し、日本軍、米軍のパイロットが見た景色を想像します。
思いがけないヘリツアーでの「学び」を、真珠湾上空で感じることができました。

KOJIさんの解説はわかりやすく軽快で、50分コースはあっという間でした。
決してお手頃なツアーではないですが、絶対に外さない感動体験ができる！と確信できるツアーです。
一生に一度の感動体験として、ヘリコプターツアーお勧めです！

Our driver Ruben was great, super friendly and knowledgeable about the island.I would highly recommend the circle Island tour even if you have already done it, you will learn something new every time.

Thanks Ruben!!

We really enjoyed our Luau dinner and Show! We were sat with other guests and started the night off with fresh pineapple and Mai Tais, which were delicious! The performers were very friendly and the food was great, including the vegan option for my wife, which was a Beyond patty and salad. The pork was great, but my favorite was the roast beef. The show was very impressive as well; their Elvis and Michael Jackson impressions were great! They also had a traditional fire-knife performer and this was very entertaining as well!

Very customer focused from check-in through the dinner service & when we debarked. Food was very tasty & plentiful! Would do it again especially on a Fri night when the Hilton Hotel had a wonderful fireworks display.

Excellent service food was great the staff super friendly the show was amazing my whole family and I had excellent time I will give 5 ⭐️ to veltra and the star of Honolulu for the amazing night see you soon

We enjoyed Toa Luau so much! Our children, 2 & 4, had a wonderful time as well. The cast/crew are the same people running the activities before the meal, and serving the meal, then putting on a great show - their hard work and enthusiasm is inspiring <3 I noticed their attention to detail in how smoothly the check-in, meal, and all the transitions went. Highly recommend!

Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.

It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!

海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止？かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした

映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す

I was able to see sea turtles up close, and it was impressive and very beautiful. Jamie was fluent in Japanese, which was surprising given their appearance, and they were very kind and helpful to the children. The kids were also very happy. I want to go back to the heavenly sea again next year.

海亀を身近で見られて、迫力があって、とてもキレイでした。
ジェイミーが見た目と違い日本語ペラペラで、とても親切で、子供に良くしてくれ助かりました。
子供も大喜びです。
来年もまた天国の海に行きたいです。

Everything from the transportation from our hotel with our driver/tour guide Kaplan, to our cruise and adventure with Captain Jason and his crew were fantastic! They were knowledgeable about the reef and sandbar, and were clearly passionate about its care. Snorkeling was great, and they took great care of those that couldn't swim well or needed extra help with the equipment. The activities on the sandbar were fun, and the ability to chill on the boat and enjoy the provided snacks & beverages was nice as well. In the way back to our hotel, Kaplan stopped to let us get Malasadas at Leonard's! Highly recommended... 10 out of 10!

awesome experience. wish would have made this top of list after arrival in honolulu. would have found so many more places visit and see at ground level!

It wasn't bad. However, I wonder about being asked for a tip for the conductor at the end of the tour. It would be more acceptable for someone like me, who is Japanese and not accustomed to tipping, if the tip was included in the total price from the beginning.

悪くは無かったです。但し、ツアーの最後にコンダクターへのチップを請求されるのは、如何なものかと思います。それなら、最初からチップ代金込みで代金を組成した方が、チップ習慣が無い日本人としては納得できると思います。

This was such a fun and entertaining experience. The food choices were great and did not disappoint. The staff were very attentive during the dinner. After the dinner, we went into the theater to watch the performances. We enjoyed every single performance from the traditional Hawaiian dances to the Elvis and Micheal Jackson impersonators. One of our favorite parts is how they incorporated original pictures of Hawaii during the show. We will definitely do it again!

The weather was unfortunately a bit cold, but the sandbar was beautiful, and we were greeted by sea turtles. We saw many more sea turtles afterward, and it was fun to encounter a lot of fish while snorkeling. They also ensured our safety thoroughly. The lunch was delicious as well. I am grateful to Yuki and the captain.

あいにくの天気で多少寒かったですが
それでもサンドバーは美しく、ウミガメが
出迎えてくれました。
その後も沢山のウミガメが見られ、
シュノーケリング中多くの魚と出会い楽しかったです。安全にも万全を期していただきました。
ランチも美味しかったです。
ユキさんと船長に感謝です。

I was looking forward to the activity.
Shortly after departure, we encountered a pod of dolphins!
I'm not a great swimmer, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling without any issues, and I also got to see a sea turtle!
The staff were all lively, and there were Japanese people among them, so I felt安心して楽しめました!
Thank you very much.

楽しみにしていたアクティビティ。
出港してまもなくイルカの群れに出会えました！
泳ぎは苦手ですがシュノーケリングも問題なく楽しめ、ウミガメを見ることもできました！
スタッフの方みんな賑やかで日本人の方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ありがとうございました。

great day of history and reliving the past when walking through the PH grounds.

was skeptical as it shares a lot with wet n wild, however don't let that fool you as this was a way to end our trip! fabulous evening, nothing bad to say!

Swimming in the pool made it easy for my kids to enjoy the one thing they wanted to do in Hawaii!

My daughter had smiles on her face the whole time. Wish my other daugther was old enough!

Hanauma Bay was a really great and fun experience. It's an early activity but the water isn't too bad, as it's quite easy to warmup in the ocean. The ride to Hanauma Bay from our pick-up location was prompt and comfortable and that genuinely enhanced the experience. The driver, Orlando, was very kind and informative.
