All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.

イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も
あるんだなあと、逆に確率の少ない方の経験ができて良かったという感想です。
あ、でも、それは、私は過去にハワイとグアムで２回、イルカを観る事が
できたからかも知れません。

From the easy pick up from our hotel, drive to ship, on the whale watching adventure to return trip, we had a great time.

We participated in a plan with transportation for a total of four people, including a 3-year-old and a 0-year-old. The hotel we stayed at was not the designated pickup location, but a nearby hotel was specified for the pickup based on our application. We brought a stroller of the buggy type, and it was transported and used without any issues.

We were lucky to see whales multiple times. On the deck, we enjoyed the breeze, and even from the indoor area with tables and chairs, we could sit and watch the whales, allowing us to see them from either environment. The 3-year-old was entertained throughout the experience.

The explanations and announcements (such as the direction of the whales) were in English. Although the kids did not get seasick, I thought it would have been nice to have the option for my husband to take motion sickness medication since he experienced seasickness.

3歳、0歳を連れた計4人で送迎付きのプランで参加をしました。
私たちの宿泊したホテルは送迎ピックアップの場所ではなかったのですが、申し込み内容と合わせてピックアップ場所（最寄りのホテル）が指定されました。バギータイプのベビーカーを持参しましたが、問題なく運搬し利用できました。
私たちは運が良くクジラを何度も見ることができました。デッキ上は風を感じながら楽しめ、テーブル椅子がある室内からでも座りながらクジラが見れたりと、環境に合わせてどちらからでもクジラが見れます。3歳の子も最後まで飽きずに楽しんでいました。
説明やアナウンス（クジラのいる方向など）は英語です。
子供達は船酔いしなかったものの、旦那が船酔いをしていたため、酔い止めを飲む選択もあったら良かったかなと思いました。

I participated in whale watching. I was able to spot a whale from a distance. I wanted to see it a bit closer, but the wind was pleasant, and I enjoyed the cruise. It was quite cold, so a long-sleeved jacket is essential. I hesitated about the pickup service being more expensive than meeting on-site, but I think if I had gone to the meeting point, there would have been so many boats that I wouldn't have known where to go. I'm glad I chose the pickup service, as it allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

ホエールウォッチングに参加しました。遠目にですが、クジラの姿も確認できました。もう少し近くで見たかったですが、風も気持ちよくてクルーズとして楽しめました。寒いくらいなので、長袖の上着は必須です。お迎えつきは現地集合よりも高くて迷いましたが、現地集合では、船が沢山あって、どこに行ったらいいか分からなかったと思います。安心して参加できたので、お迎えつきで良かったです。

The hula show lesson was lively, with participants enjoying themselves. The buffet had an overwhelming volume, and the roast beef was delicious.

The entertainment show that followed was very realistic, and even if you're not a fan of Elvis or Michael, you'll have a great time.

フラショーのレッスンがあり、楽しく参加されてる方々が盛り上がってました。食事は、ビュッフェで食べきれないボリュームでローストビーフがおいしかったです。

移動してのエンターテイメントショーも、リアリティーがあり
エルビスやマイケルのファンでなくてもすごく楽しめますよ。

We really enjoyed this trip! It was my husband birthday’

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.

The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.

We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.

The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.

We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.

All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

I had a great time. The food was good, and I enjoyed the show as well. Since the meal started late, I think it would be even better if it started earlier.

楽しかったです。
食事内容もよく、ショーも楽しめました。
食事のスタートが遅かったので、早いと、さらに良いと思います

Fascinating to learn about different island cultures through dance, music, games and food. The fact the performers are from those islands amazed me. They are so proud of their island and culture and language. Wish I could go back a second day ( or open earlier) so I could see and play all the games.
The Ha… Breath of life show was stunning!

I participated in the afternoon tour at the beginning of January. I was torn between other tours, but I decided on this one because it was smaller and I thought we might get a bit closer to the whales. The weather was clear, but I had seen reviews mentioning that some people didn’t see any whales, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.

We set out about 15 minutes offshore on a small cruise ship and then waited in the surrounding area to see the whales. Since we weren’t too far from the island, where the town was visible, I wondered how it would go, but within about 10 minutes, there were cheers, and we caught a glimpse of a whale's head in the distance! Over the course of a little more than an hour, we saw the whale's head and tail flukes about 6-7 times, and at one point, a whale appeared right in front of us! There weren’t too many participants, so it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly. The staff was kind, and it was fun for everyone to search for the whales together!

Since it’s a small boat, I think it’s a good idea to take motion sickness medication as a precaution before participating. We drifted at sea for over an hour, and once you get seasick, it becomes difficult to enjoy watching the whales.

Also, depending on where you sit, there’s a possibility of getting splashed and wet, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting wet.

1月頭に午後帯で参加しました。
他のツアーもあり、迷いましたが、小さめでクジラにちょっとでも近づけるかも？と思ってこちらを申し込み。
天気は晴れでしたが、口コミで観れなかったという声もあったので、あまり期待しすぎずに。
小型のクルーズ船で15分ほど沖に出て、あとはその周辺でクジラが見えるのを待ちます。島の街並みが見えるほど島からもあまり離れていない場所だったので、どうかなと思いましたが、ものの10分ほどで、歓声が上がり、少し遠くにクジラの頭がちょこっと見れました！
それからも1時間ちょっとで6-7回はクジラの頭と尾ひれが見れ、すぐ目の前に現れたときも！参加人数もそこまで多くないので、人だかりで見えないということもなく、しっかり楽しめました。
スタッフの方も優しく、みんなでクジラを探すのも楽しかったです！

小型船ですので、酔い止めは予防も兼ねて飲んでから参加された方がいいと思います。1時間以上海を漂うので、一度酔ってしまうとクジラを見るどころではなくなってしまいます。

また、座る位置にもよりますが、水しぶきで服が濡れる可能性があるので、濡れても良い服装で参加されることをおすすめします。

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.

悪天候でしたがスタッフの方々が気さくに話しかけていただき、非常に楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
また、野生のウミガメもこんなに近くで見ることはというような距離でした。
冬のハワイは、結構寒く防寒着は持って行った方が良いと思います。サンドバーには降り立ちましたが、シュノーケルは寒くて船内待機していました。参加された方の数名は、ウミガメと並んでシュノーケルを楽しめたようで、次は夏のハワイで再挑戦したいと思いました。

It was quite impressive, and although the impersonations were somewhat cliché, I enjoyed it enough. The guests from the neighboring country were loud and disruptive. There were issues with the seating ranks.

なかなか迫力あり、ものまねもベタなものだったが充分楽しめた。隣国の客が大声で話してうるさかった。席のランクでのトラブルが起きていた。

The day before the experience, it was raining heavily, so I was worried about the weather, but those worries were unnecessary as it turned out to be a clear day. The waves were not high, and I was able to participate with a calm mind. However, on the day we participated, no whales appeared... I was disappointed since we joined to see whales, but it was my first time cruising on a boat in Hawaii, and as I was taking in the scenery, I realized that we were approaching the goal before I knew it! After the experience, tickets for a return trip on the boat were distributed! I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

体験前日、大雨が降っていたため、天候の心配をしておりましたが、そんな心配は無用で快晴でした。波も高くなく、落ち着いた気持ちで参加することができました。ですが、私たちが参加した日は、クジラが現れず…
クジラを見に参加したので残念でしたが、ハワイで船に乗ってクルーズする経験が初めてで、景色をじっくりと見ていたら、いつのまにかゴールが近づいていました！
体験後、後日船に再乗船できるチケットを配布しておりました！
また機会があればぜひ参加したいと思っています。

We did not see any whales after going twice on the trip but nonetheless the staff was very helpful, encouraging, and fun! Just a bit of bad luck with the whales! The cruise was easy and there was plenty of space on the ship. At the end of the day, it was a lovely whaleless cruise along the coast which was relaxing and enjoyable.

The sandbar trip was so fun. My husband and I had a great time. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and the boat is clean. The lunch was great and we overall had an amazing time. We would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone either as a couples trip or as a family trip. I think it’s great for all ages.

Das Waikiki Luau Dinner bestach durch sein überaus freundliches Personal und das hervorragende Essen, das traditionelle polynesische Geschmäcker gekonnt in Szene setzte. Besondere Höhepunkte des Abends waren die mitreißende Polynesische Show und die spektakulären Auftritte der Doubles von Elvis Presley und Michael Jackson. Diese Darbietungen brachten eine einzigartige Energie und Begeisterung, die das Publikum faszinierte. Die Kombination aus exzellenter Gastfreundschaft, kulinarischen Highlights und diesen hochkarätigen Performances machte unseren Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die einen Hauch von Hollywood in der hawaiianischen Kultur erleben möchten.

The food and atmosphere were great. I chose the 5-star option to watch the Hilton fireworks from the deck on Friday, but people from the lower floor started removing the chain from the stairs and crowded onto the deck before the fireworks started. After quite some time, the staff began to check if people were 5-star guests, but I thought it was too late.

お料理も雰囲気も良かったです。金曜日でデッキからヒルトンの花火を見るために5スターにしたのですが、花火の時間前から下のフロアーの人が、階段のチェーンを外しデッキに入ってくて混雑。
だいぶ経ってからスタッフが５スターかどうか確認を始めましたが遅いかと思います。

I visited here quite a while ago, and it feels like it has been upgraded. There are various shows centered around Elvis and Michael, as well as a fire show and other performances with things hanging from the ceiling. I might come back in a few years.

かなり前に一度来たことがありまたが、グレードアップした気がします。
エルビスとマイケルのショーを中心にファイヤーショー、また天井から吊らされたりといろいろあります。また何年か後に来ようかな

The pickup time was 5 minutes past, and since no one had arrived, I contacted the emergency contact. They sent a different bus that had been stopped for a few minutes, which was scheduled for another tour. I made it to the cruise in plenty of time, so it wasn't a problem, but I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't reached out. The cruise itself was enjoyable, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales.

ピックアップ時間に5分過ぎても来なかったので緊急連絡先に連絡したところ、数分前から止まっていた、違うツアー予定だったバスを回してくれました。
クルーズには十分間に合ったので問題無いのですが、連絡していなかったらどうなったのか、と思います。
クルーズ自体は楽しかったのですが、残念ながらホエールは見えませんでした。。

Last year, I went to a sandbar on another tour, but this one was better. The weather was nice, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The rice balls were surprisingly delicious. I plan to recommend it to my friends.

去年、他のツアーでサンドバーに行きましたが、今回の方が良かったです。
天気も良くウミガメがすぐそばで見れました。
おにぎりが意外にも美味しかったです。
友達にも勧めようと思います。

We visited for our family's first trip to Hawaii. The cheerful staff greeted us warmly, allowing us to start our meal in a fun atmosphere. While the variety of the buffet wasn't very extensive, each dish (especially the roast beef) was very delicious, and we were satisfied.

After the buffet, we went inside the building to enjoy a show. We were able to enjoy various types of music, including hula dancing, fire dancing, and popular songs from America. I highly recommend seeing it at least once when traveling to Hawaii.

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で訪れました。明るい店員が気さくに話しかけてくれて、楽しい気分で食事を始めることが出来ました。ビュッフェの種類自体はそれほど多くなかったですが、一つ一つの料理（特にローストビーフ）はとてもおいしく、満足できました。
ビュッフェの後は建物内に入り、ショーを楽しみました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンス、アメリカで流行った曲など、様々な種類の音楽を楽しむことが出来ました。ハワイに旅行する際、ぜひ一回見てみることをお勧めします。

We enjoyed our excursion from the bus ride to the Polynesian Centre to the bus ride back to our hotel. Our driver's name was Misi! He went above and beyond what was expected of him.

The walk through the Centre was incredible. Seeing the different islands and cultures. We took a canoe ride after walking around for about 4 hours. It was a welcome relief getting of our feet.

Our tickets included the dinner buffet. There was so much food to choose from which made it difficult to try everything. It was good.

After dinner we watched the The Breath of Life which was incredibly good. The performance was amazing. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

I joined because I wanted to ride on a yacht. The weather was decent, so it wasn't too rocky, making it comfortable and refreshing. Luckily, we encountered a group of dolphins, and they followed our boat for a while, allowing us to see them up close! I would love to join again. I highly recommend it! ♪

ヨットに乗りたくて参加しました。天気もまあまあだったからあまり揺れなかったので快適、爽快。ラッキーなことにイルカのグループに会えて、しばらく私たちが乗った船についてきたので間近にイルカたちを見ることができました！また参加したいです。おすすめです♪

We participated in whale watching for the first time as a parent and child. We were very moved to see two whales! We were able to witness breaching, which we had only seen on TV, right in front of us multiple times! I think there must be some timing involved, but it felt like we were quite lucky on the day we participated. My 6-year-old was captivated by the whales they saw for the first time. We created wonderful memories in Hawaii.

初めてのホエールウォッチングに親子で参加しました。
2頭のくじらに会えてとても感動しました^_^
テレビでしか見たことのないブリーチングも目の前で何度も見れました！
きっとタイミングなどあると思いますが私達が参加した日はかなりラッキーだったような気がします^_^
6歳の子供も初めて見るくじらに釘付けでした。
ハワイのとてもいい思い出ができました。

I was looking forward to participating since they were confident about whale watching. They mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a free pass for the next time. The explanations were easy to understand, and they said that humpback whales come up to breathe every 45 minutes. We saw over 30 whales swimming around, but they were hard to spot. Just when I was about to give up, suddenly they appeared! The first one was a baby, and the second was an adult whale, posing beautifully with Diamond Head in the background! It was an incredibly satisfying tour. It might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication on hand.

ホエールウォッチングに自信ありとのことでしたので、楽しみにして参加しました。万一見られなかった場合でも次回無料パスを頂けるとのこと。説明もわかりやすく、ザトウクジラは45分に1回海上に呼吸をしにくるとのことで、30以上回遊してましたが、中々現れず。今日はもう駄目かと諦めかけた瞬間、その時は突然やってきました。1頭目はベイビー、2頭目は大人のクジラで、ダイヤモンドモンドヘッドをバックにハイポーズ❣️
大大満足のツアーでした。船酔いの薬があった方が良いかも知れませんねー

The buffet-style meal featured a menu that was very much in line with Hawaiian cuisine, and I was delighted to be able to try items that I probably wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy during my stay. Additionally, there were whole pineapples and a welcome drink service with Mai Tai, which made it a lot of fun. I also had the rare opportunity to see hula dancing up close during the meal, which was a precious experience. We visited for our honeymoon, and I was thrilled that there was a ukulele performance at each table.

The show after dinner was more authentic and spectacular than I had imagined, and it was truly moving! I had wondered how the combination of hula and rock would work, but it turned out to be a wonderful show where both styles matched beautifully, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. In particular, the performances that traced history evoked a sense of nostalgia and were wonderfully structured to captivate the audience. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

ビュッフェ形式のお食事は、ハワイらしいメニューになっており、意外と滞在中に口にする機会のなさそうなものを頂くことができ、嬉しかったです。また、まるごとのパイナップルや、ウェルカムドリンクでマイタイのサービスなどもあり、とても楽しめました。また、お食事中にフラダンスを間近で見ることができ、貴重な時間でした。新婚旅行で伺いましたが、席ごとにウクレレの演奏もしていただき、嬉しかったです。

お食事後のショーは想像していたよりも本格的で、華やかで感動しました！
フラダンスとロックの組み合わせはどんなだろう？と思っていましたが、両者の良さが見事にマッチした素晴らしいショーになっており、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。特に、歴史を辿るような演出は懐かしさも感じられ、人を惹きつける素晴らしい構成になっているなと思いました。
機会があればまた訪れたいです。

It was a lively and energetic performance by the Frat Show that really pulled you in.

When I arrived before the opening time, there was already a long line, and everyone seemed to be eagerly anticipating the ball party.

The performances by the carefully selected dancers were impressive and made for a truly enjoyable festive moment.

Thank you very much.

ご機嫌のノリとグイグイ引っ張る熱量のフラ・ショーでした。

開場時間前に到着したところ、すでに大行列で、みなさん、お待ちかねのボールパーティーのようでした。

厳選されたダンサーの方々のパフォーマンスは見応え抜群、楽しい祝祭のひとときでした。

ありがとうございました。

The Cultural Center Island tour was full of amazing and helpful hosts and entertainers. I have never felt more welcome by so many people. To temper a few expectations some of the activities we expected to be interactive were instead demos by professionals only but we still had a blast doing the many activities that do allow participation and those alone filled a very full day of exploring the islands.

The Buffet was delicious had more foods than we could fit and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.

The HA Breath of life show was an amazing experience and some of the best fire spinning and hula and so much more you will get to see in Hawaii

Be warned: the gap of time between the closing of the cultural center and the opening for the final show is quite long (they do warn you about his on the bus and offer an early exit at 6pm if you decide before 4pm that you wont have the energy) but with that said it was well worth it and we were glad we stayed for the full show.

The entire experience was exceptional. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Would definitely go see it again. A job very well done.

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great
