All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

Every single presentation was excellent! Kap on the Samoan stage was fabulous, entertaining and funny! Great artwork too. Enjoyed the Fiji one also, especially noting that the missionaries led them to Christ and then their idols were torn down! Learned about ancestral New Zealand which I didn’t know the name of, bur I do now! While we did not really have a guide as expected, there were always people to show us the next move when we appeared lost! The luau was good, our first ever. And enjoyed hearing the music of Wahine Elua - very good!
The theater production after the Luau was impressive too! Super talent on display, especially the spectacular fire dancer and her team! WOW!

So good to swim with Leho the dolphin we were assigned to be with! Melissa taught us so much about dolphins that hour. The photos showed us smiling bigger than we never had before! Super fun and excellent! It was part of our 50th anniversary celebration.

We used this for our honeymoon. After arriving at the venue, we were served the famous Hawaiian cocktail, Mai Tai, which really got us excited. We shared a table with another Japanese couple, so we were able to enjoy pleasant conversations while waiting for the buffet. The outdoor buffet was comfortable and had a rich variety of options. During the meal, there were performances of hula dancing and ukulele music, which were truly enjoyable!

After the meal, we moved to the venue for Rock-a-Hula. There were diverse performances including traditional Hawaiian dance, rock, and fire dancing, which were interesting. We really felt the essence of Hawaii! The venue was a bit chilly, so I was glad I brought a jacket. Finally, we took a photo with a Michael look-alike, which became a wonderful memory!

新婚旅行で利用しました。会場に到着後、ハワイの名物カクテルのマイタイが出てきてテンションが上がりました。別の日本人夫婦の方と同じテーブルだったので、ビュッフェまでの待ち時間は楽しく会話して過ごすことができました。屋外でのビュッフェで心地よく、品揃えも豊富でした。食事中もフラダンスやウクレレの演奏があり、本当に楽しかったです！
食事の後にロック・アフラの会場へ移動しました。ハワイの伝統的なダンスとロック、ファイヤーダンスなど多様な演出があり面白かったです。ハワイを感じることができました！会場は少し寒かったので、上着を持参して良かったです。最後にマイケルのそっくりさんと写真を撮ってもらい素敵な思い出になりました！

The driver who picked us up introduced us to the shops along the way, so we arrived at our destination in no time. The staff at Captain Bruce's were very kind and cheerful, and they provided support in Japanese. They explained all the dangerous parts of the marine activities in Japanese, which made us feel safe while having fun. There was also a staff member who explained things in a charming Kansai dialect, which was delightful. We were able to swim with turtles, and the view of the mountains from the sea was incredibly beautiful. It was a precious sight.

On the boat, there were hot drinks, canned juices, snacks, fruits, and spam rice balls. The rice balls and Swissmiss after swimming were very delicious. There are no changing rooms, so getting into the air-conditioned shuttle with wet swimsuits can be quite chilly. It was necessary to bring a few larger towels to use as blankets. It was that cold. It's better not to bring valuables, but since tips are not included, it was necessary to prepare cash for the tip boxes on the boat and in the shuttle.

送迎のドライバーさんは、道沿いにあるお店の紹介をしながら運転してくれるので、現地にはあっという間に着きました。キャプテンブルースの方々はとても親切で明るく、日本語のサポートもあり、マリンアクティビティの危険な所も全て日本語で説明してくれたので、安心して遊ぶことができました。謎に関西弁で説明するスタッフさんがいて癒されました。カメと泳ぐことも出来、海から見る山々がとても綺麗でした。貴重な景色です。
船内ではホットドリンクや缶ジュース、スナック・フルーツ・スパムおにぎりがあり、泳いだ後のおにぎりとSwissmissはとても美味しかったです。更衣室がないので、濡れたままの水着でエアコンの効いた送迎車に乗るのは体が冷えます。大きめタオルを何枚か持って行ってブランケット代わりにする必要がありました。そのくらい寒いです。貴重品は持参しない方が良いですが、チップが含まれていないので、船内にあるチップボックスと、送迎車内にあるチップボックスに入れるお札は準備が必要でした。

We had a sunset cruising experience for our family of four, and we were blessed with great weather, allowing us to have the best time. The food was delicious, and after enjoying the beautiful sunset, we watched the fireworks from Hilton Village, accompanied by live jazz music. Everything was perfect. We truly made wonderful memories.

親子4人のサンセットクルージング、天気にも恵まれて、最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。料理も美味しく、美味しいサンセットを見た後は、ヒルトンヴィレッジから上がる花火、そして生演奏のJAZZ、すべて完璧でした。本当に良い想い出が出来ました。

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The English guide was very kind, but if you can't speak English, you won't know the meeting place and time for the return. It would be very helpful if you could provide guidance in Japanese using a whiteboard or notes.

当日はお天気も良くて、海が綺麗で魚めたくさん見られました。英語ガイドさんはとても親切でしたが、英語が話せないと帰りの待ち合わせ場所や時間が分かりません。
ホワイトボードやメモなど日本語で案内してもらえるととっても助かります。

Check in was easy, food was so good, employees were very helpful, loved the dancing while eating, free mai tai and the rock show was AWESOME!! Elvis was great, MJ was cool and Chardonnay was the best hostess. If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely go to the show again.

The atmosphere was really lovely during the dinner surrounded by strangers! A stylish drink was included, and we could choose whether it had alcohol or not. However, there weren't many dishes that I found delicious, perhaps because they didn't suit Japanese tastes. The meat was incredibly tasty, so I ended up eating a lot of that. The show was impressive, and there were familiar songs, which made it very enjoyable. Both the food and the show really captured the Hawaiian vibe, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the atmosphere of Hawaii.

知らない人と席を囲んでの会食で雰囲気もとても素敵でした！
オシャレなワンドリンクも付いてきました。アルコール入りかなしか選べました。
でも、あまり日本人の口に合わないのか、美味しいと思える料理は少なかったです。お肉はすごく美味しかったのでそればっかり食べてました。
ショーは迫力があり、馴染みの曲もあったりしてとても楽しめました。
食事もショーもハワイの雰囲気をとても感じれたので、ハワイの雰囲気を楽しみたい人におすすめです。

Professional , courteous clean and food was great experience of a life time. really really good. Entertainment and everything above and beyond approach.

We visited this time as a couple. Perhaps due to staff shortages, some items were available at certain times while others were not, but we were able to try all the sliders. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have a longer stay.

夫婦２人で今回はお邪魔しました。人員不足の為か、時間によって開いてるものと開いていないものがありましたが、全スライダーは制覇出来ました。欲を言えばもう少し滞在時間が長ければ良いなぁと思いました。

After the experience

The pickup time was perfectly on Japanese time, and the driver, Tomo, was a very friendly and handsome young man who spoke Japanese very well! The local staff member, Emi, was also a very kind and easy-to-talk-to Japanese woman! The explanations about Kailua and Lanikai Beach were clear and helpful, so everything was great! The beautiful sea and good weather allowed us to relax! I was very satisfied with the delicious pizza and boxed lunch for lunch! I was also happy to receive a gift and get some souvenirs! I definitely want to participate again! Thank you very much!

体験後

ピックアップの時間もピッタリの日本時間で、ドライバーの、ともさんは日本後もとても上手く親しみやすいイケメンの好青年！現地スタッフのエミさんもとても優しく話しやすい日本人女性！カイルア、ラニカイビーチの説明もわかりやすくして頂いたのでバッチリでした！綺麗な海で天気も良くリラックスできましたよぉ〜！昼食も美味しいピザとボックスランチでとても満足しました！プレゼントもありお土産もゲットできて嬉しかったです！また参加したいですよぉ〜！有難う御座いました！

The weather was unfortunate, as it was cloudy and rainy, making it cold to enter the sea. However, the support from the guide was wonderful, and I was able to participate comfortably. The captain, like a behind-the-scenes supporter, made charcoal-grilled hamburgers, and during the sea turtle watching, he skillfully guided the boat. I think it would have been perfect if the weather had been nice, but I still enjoyed seeing the beautiful coral and swimming tropical fish.

天気は残念で曇ってたら、雨が降ったりと海に入るのにも寒かったのですが、ガイドの方のフォローが素晴らしく、気持ち良く参加できました。縁の下の力持ち的にキャプテンが炭火焼きのハンバーガーを作ってくれたり、ウミガメウォッチングでは上手く船を誘導してくれてました。
天気が良かったら最高だとは思いますが、綺麗な珊瑚と泳ぐ熱帯魚を見て楽しめました。

The food was delicious, and the level of crowding was not too much, which was great. The show was enjoyable for the whole family, with the men's powerful performances and the women's captivating dances.

料理も美味しく、混雑度合いもそこまでで良かったです。
ショーは男性の迫力と女性の魅力的な踊りで家族みんなが楽しめました。

I love the ocean in Hawaii, but since I'm with my elderly parents, I won't be swimming during our stay. I wanted to experience the feeling of being in a resort, so I participated in this activity. It's refreshing to see Waikiki from the sea, which I usually walk through. Since I participated on the day of arrival, spending a leisurely time on the boat felt like a luxurious experience. Although Japanese is not spoken, it was a time where communication wasn't necessary, so there were no inconveniences.

ハワイの海は好きですが、高齢の親と一緒なので滞在中は泳ぎません。
せっかくリゾート地に来た感覚を味わいたくて参加しました。
いつも歩いているワイキキを海から見られるのは新鮮な感じです。
到着日に参加ということもあり、
船でのんびりとゆったりと過ごせるのは贅沢な時間です。
日本語は通じませんが、特に会話しなくても問題ない時間でしたので、不都合も無かったっです。

First, regarding the dinner buffet, the dining area is on the open terrace where the night breeze is pleasant. When you sit at the table, fresh dendrobium orchids are provided for hair accessories, and while enjoying a Hawaiian drink, you feel happy. You can enjoy various dishes, starting with traditional Hawaiian cuisine. While dining, hula dancers occasionally perform right near your table, adding to the fun! Of course, there are plenty of desserts like fruits, cakes, and ice cream, leaving you completely satisfied!

Next, we moved to the theater to watch the Rock-a-Hula show. The stage and seats are very close, and with live band performances, the lighting and visual effects enhance the hula dance, Elvis, and Michael Jackson performances, as well as songs by Hawaiian singers, all of which are incredibly powerful! At the end, we were able to take photos with the performers, and everyone was very courteous, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

まずはディナービュッフェについて、食べるところはオープンテラスで夜風が心地よく、テーブルにつくと、髪飾り用に生のデンファレの花が用意されておりハワイの飲み物を飲みながら気分はハッピー
食事もハワイの伝統料理をはじめ色々な料理を食べることができます食事をしているとフラダンサーの方が席の間近でダンスを時折披露してくださり楽しめます‼︎もちろんフルーツやケーキ、アイスなどデザートもたっぷりでお腹いっぱいになり大満足でした‼︎
つづいてロックアフラのショーを見る為にシアターに移動、こちらも舞台と席がとても近く、生バンドによる演奏、光や映像の演出が相まってフラダンスやエルビス、マイケルジャクソンのパフォーマンス、またハワイの歌手の方の歌が迫力満点です‼︎
最後には、出演者の方と写真撮影ができ、どの方のとても丁寧に対応してくださり最高の思い出となりました✨

The meal is a buffet, but please note that the start time is late, and there is limited time to eat. Basically, you can only go up to get food once.

During the meal, there is a small dance show, so you can really enjoy it. Additionally, a ukulele player goes around performing for each group.

Up to this point, video recording is allowed. The main show moves to the hall. Once it starts, taking photos is fine, but video recording is not allowed. There are shows not only featuring hula but also Elvis and Michael, and the atmosphere and excitement were fantastic!

All explanations are in English, so knowing English might enhance your experience. After the show, the performers greet guests outside, so you can shake hands and take photos together.

It’s guaranteed to be a wonderful night!

食事はバイキングですが、食事の始まりが遅く、食べる時間が少ないので注意してください。基本的に取りに行けるのは一回のみです。
食事中にも小さなダンスショーがあるのでしっかり楽しめます。また、ウクレレ奏者の方がひとグループごとに演奏して回っていました。
ここまでは動画撮影OKです。
本番のショーはホールへ移動します。始まりましたら写真撮影は大丈夫ですが、動画撮影はNGです。フラだけでなく、エルビスやマイケルのショーもあり、雰囲気や盛り上がりが最高でした！
説明等は全て英語なので、英語ができた方がもっと楽しめるかもしれません。
終わった後は出演者が外で見送りをしているので、握手したり一緒に写真を撮ることも可能です。
最高の夜になること間違いなしです。

As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!

The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.

Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!

The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!

It was a good decision to have an all-you-can-drink option since water costs the same as juice. There was a Japanese guide who helped us with reserving seats and recommended good spots, which was very helpful. The attractions included options for babies and children as well as thrilling ones. If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some anti-nausea medication.

水でもジュースと同じ料金がかかるので飲み放題があって正解でした。
日本人の案内の方がいて、いすの場所取りおおすすめ場所など教えていただき、たすかりました。アトラクションは、赤ちゃん、子供向けとスリリングなものとありました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めしたほうがいいかもです

I was excited to see the attractions in the pictures, but only three were operational. It was my mistake to rent two with roofs, and there was no advice regarding that. I opted for the lunch package, but even with the transportation included, 93,112 yen for that is too expensive.

アトラクションは画像で見るとワクワク期待したのですが
3つしか稼働してなく、こちらのミスですが屋根付きのを二つも
レンタルしていて　それに対するアドバイス等は何もなく
昼食付にしましたが　送迎込みでも　あれで93,112円は
高すぎる

We started with a buffet outdoors, and the weather was nice, making it very pleasant. The food was Hawaiian cuisine, which created great memories. During dinner, there was a light show and hula lessons, making the meal enjoyable!

The performance exceeded my expectations in quality. The singer on stage had impressive vocal skills, and the dancers were also very skilled, so I was glad to see a lot of hula dancing.

After the performance, we were able to take photos, making it a very memorable experience!

野外でビュッフェを食べることから始まり、天気も良くとても気持ちよかったです。ご飯もハワイアン料理を味わえていい思い出になりました。夕食中は軽いショーもあったりフラレッスンもあって楽しくお食事ができました！
公演は思った以上のクオリティで楽しめました。舞台に立たれていた歌手はさすがの歌唱力でダンサーの方もすごく上手でフラダンスもたくさん見れたのでよかったです。
公演後は写真撮影もできたりして、とても思い出深い体験ができました！

I could see that the crew was doing their best to entertain the guests. The volleyball at the sandbar and the sea turtle watching were both fun (we saw more than 10 turtles). The hamburger made by the female captain was also delicious. The explanations from the Japanese crew were concise and easy to understand.

During the final snorkeling at the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. I even saw a dragonfish chasing other tropical fish at high speed!

The only downside for me was that it was cold. I had heard it would be chilly coming out of the sea, so I prepared extra towels and a jacket, but the water was quite cold too, and I ended up shivering. If I had stayed in the water and moved around more, it might have been better. Considering the occasionally cloudy weather and the fact that it was November, I suppose it can't be helped.

However, I was able to have a wonderful time in the Hawaiian sea for the first time. Thank you to all the crew!

　クルー達が一生懸命客を楽しませようとしてくれてるのがわかった。
　サンドバーでのバレーボールも゙ウミガメウォッチングも楽しかった。(10匹以上見られた。)女性キャプテンの焼いてくれたハンバーグのハンバーガーも美味しかった。日本人のクルーの説明も簡潔でわかりやすかった。　
　最後の珊瑚礁でのシュノーケルでは、たっくさんの魚を見ることができた。ドラゴンフィッシュが他の熱帯魚を猛スピードで追いかけてるのも゙見た!　
　私にとっての唯一の難点は寒かったこと。海からあがると寒いとは聞いてたので、予備のバスタオルとか上着とかを用意して行ったが、水の中も結構寒くてガタガタ震えてしまった。海からあがらないで、水の中でもっと動いてたら、マシだったかも。時々曇ったりする天気と11月という季節を考えたら、仕方ないかと思う。
　でも、初めてのハワイの海で素敵な時間を過ごすことができた。クルーの皆さん、ありがとう!

The biggest draw for this tour is that the pickup point was directly at Disney's Aulani Resort. (Not too many other similar tours had stops there!)

Our driver Quentin made the trip a very informative one with his vast knowledge of the landmarks and places of interest. He was also very receptive to people's questions and stuck true to form with timings of tours, particularly dropoffs and pickups from the Pearl Harbor Memorial.

I would like to extend special thanks to Quentin for allowing me to take a much needed bathroom break during the Honolulu portion of the tour. The main problem, however, was that downtown Honolulu has absolutely no public restrooms anywhere, so if you don't use the restroom at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, you are screwed. Unfortunately, I had to learn that the hard way!

Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I believe the party I was with did too!

The weather was disappointing. The staff was kind, but it was a bit unsettling to be on the bus for nearly 30 minutes without any staff who understood Japanese. Lastly, the request for a $20 tip seems a bit high. With the yen's depreciation, the tour fees are already high, making it tough.

天気がいまいちで残念だった。スタッフは親切だったが送迎に関しては日本語がわかる
スタッフがいなく無言のまま30分近くバスに乗せられたのは少し不安だった。
最後にチップを20ドルの要求は少し高いような気がする。円安でツアー料が高くなっているにので
厳しい。

The waves were high enough for surfing, and the water was murky, so I couldn't see a single fish. It was cold due to the strong wind, making it tough to stay on the beach.

I spent about 13,000 yen on the tour and entrance fee to go snorkeling, so I wish they would allow cancellations or not operate on days with such poor conditions. I was really disappointed.

サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。
ツアー代と入場料で約13000円かけてシュノーケルしに行っているので、海がこんなコンディションの日は催行しないかキャンセルを選択できるようにしてほしいです。本当にガッカリでした。

Captain and crew made this trip very enjoyable. The ship was top notch and fun to sail on.
Swimming with the turtles was a blast and the sailing around Waikiki afterwards made for a super fun trip. Definitely will be back!

Our tour was more than hoped for!
A very personable and experienced guide made
The time invaluable.

Dexter was a great guide with tons of information about not only the specific tour items but also the island and people in general. Rainy morning made volcano viewing tough but that’s Mother Nature. The helo tour of volcanos in the afternoon more than made up for things!

The service was great. The hosts were so friendly. The drinks were delicious. The scenery was beautiful. I definitely recommend this event.

When it's a bit chilly, it can be quite tough... Even in a tropical climate, if it's cloudy or drizzling, the water feels cold. I had to drink coffee while shivering after getting out of the sea. However, the guides were truly wonderful with their thoughtfulness and care; we received free spam onigiri, apples, drinks, and juice—all complimentary. During snorkeling, there were plenty of sea turtles right in front of us, making for a special experience. I definitely recommend going! The weather is just a matter of luck, so there's nothing you can do about it.

まず肌寒い時は基本そうですがなかなか地獄を見ます…
常夏といえど曇りや小雨気味だと普通に水は冷たく感じます。
海から上がった時震えながらコーヒーを飲みました。
しかしガイドさんは皆さん本当に気遣いや心配りが素晴らしく、無料のスパムおにぎりやりんご、飲み物やお水ジュースなど全て無料で頂けました。
シュノーケリングでは目の前に海亀も沢山いて気軽に特別な体験ができます。
是非行ってみてください。
天候はただの運なので、仕方ないです。

I chose a plan without meals, but those who had meals seemed to be enjoying themselves with activities like hula lessons. You can order drinks just before taking your seat, but payment is only accepted by card, and Amex cannot be used, so be careful. The show itself mainly features slightly older songs by artists like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but even if you don't know the songs, I felt it was professional entertainment that could still get the crowd excited. Local singers also participate, performing cover songs as well as their own hits. They even perform songs from Disney's Moana. Perhaps because it was a weekday, only the VIP seats were filled, while the other areas were sparse. I think a bit more creativity is needed to make me want to see it two or three times.

食事なしのプランにしたが、食事のある人はフラのレッスンなどのおもてなしがあって、それなりに楽しそうにしていた。ドリンクは席につく手前で注文できるがカード決済のみで、なおかつAmexが使えないので注意。ショー自体はプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンなど少し古めの曲が中心だが、知らなくてもそれなりに盛り上げてくれるプロフェッショナルのエンタメだと感じた。地元の歌手も参加し、カバー曲に加えて持ち歌も披露してくれる。ディズニーのモアナの曲もやってくれる。平日だったためかVIP席のみが埋まっており、それ以外の店はまばら。2回3回と見たいと思うにはもう少し工夫がいるのではと思った。
