All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

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。

During our honeymoon in Hawaii, we made a reservation because we wanted to see a hula dance. The food was served buffet style with a wide variety, and we were very satisfied. The beef, in particular, was delicious. The menu was also written in Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Additionally, we enjoyed listening to live ukulele performances and watching dances while having our meal.

After dinner, the show featured hula dancing, singing, and fire dancing, which was a lot of fun. It became one of our best memories of Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行で訪れたハワイで、フラダンスを見たかったので予約しました。
ご飯はブュッフェスタイルで品数も多く大満足でした。特に牛肉が美味しかったです。メニューに日本語も書いてあり分かりやすかったです。また、生のウクレレ演奏を聴いたり、ダンスを見ながら食事を楽しめました。
食事の後のショーではフラダンスや歌、ファイヤーダンスなどを見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ハワイの最高の思い出になりました！ぜひおすすめします。

I participated in this activity because I wanted to see authentic hula.

First, it was buffet time. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was fresh and a refreshing drink with a hint of alcohol. It was easy to drink and delicious.

The buffet was average, nothing special. During the meal, hula dancers came to our table and performed beautiful dances multiple times. It was moving!

Finally, it was time for "Rock-a-Hula." They introduced the history of music in Hawaii in chronological order. It was a fun and vibrant show. Wonderful!

In the second half, we had the much-anticipated Elvis and Michael. The quality met my expectations. It felt like a good job!

The greeting time for commemorative photos was also lovely. I managed to get a two-shot with both of them.

It was a very satisfying time.

本場のフラを観たくて、このアクティビティに参加しました。
まずはブッフェの時間。
ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイはフレッシュで少しアルコールの効いた爽やかドリンクでした。飲みやすくて美味しい。
ブッフェは、可もなく不可もなく。普通かなぁ。
食事中にテーブルの側までフラダンサーが来てくれて、素敵な踊りを何度も披露してくれました。感激〜！
いよいよ、「ロック・ア・フラ」の時間。
ハワイでの音楽の歴史を、年代順に紹介して下さいます。
楽しく華やかなショーです。素晴らしい！
後半は、お待ちかねのエルビスとマイケル。
期待にそぐわぬ完成度。Good Job！って感じ。
記念撮影のグリーティングタイムも素敵。
ちゃっかりと、お二人とのツーショットもゲットしましたよ。
大満足のひと時でした。

I'll keep this short and to the point. It really wasn't what most would consider a Luau. You're in a tiki-like environment in a mall for the meal and then you go to an inside theater for the show. The show is more of a Vegas-like show primarily consisting of an Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonator. The show was honestly pretty good, but just wasn't what was expected at a Luau.

On a good note, the food was decent and the performers were pretty good. If you just want a reasonably priced meal and a show then this is for you. If you're looking for a more traditional Hawaiian Luau then look somewhere else.

After completing the check-in, I was seated at 5:30 PM, and the buffet started at 6:30 PM, so as mentioned in other reviews, the wait felt long. During the waiting time, you can experience traditional Hawaiian dance and music. Once the buffet begins, guests are guided to the food in order by table. There was a lot of food available, so I was able to enjoy my meal leisurely for about an hour. Since the buffet is not located in just one spot, I recommend looking around to gather your food. (It was a bit hard to find the roast beef station.)

Regarding the show, the stage was larger and more visible than I expected. There were rock stars from different generations, and as expected in a place known for entertainment, the audience was engaged and never bored. It was great to see the fire dance as well. At the end, you can take photos with the performers when exiting. I would like to go again if I visit Hawaii.

受付を済まして17時半に着席をしてから、ビュッフェ開始は18時半でしたので
他の方の口コミにもある通り待ち時間は長く感じました。
待ち時間の間はハワイの伝統的なダンスや音楽を体験することができます。
ビッフェが開始されると席ごとに順番に案内されます。
料理はたくさん用意されているので、約1時間弱ゆっくり食事を楽しむことができました。
ビュッフェの食事は1箇所ではないので、周辺を見渡して食事を取ることをおすすめします。
(目当てのローストビーフの場所が分かりづらかった)

ショーに関しては思った以上にステージが大きく見やすかったです。
世代が違うロックスターも登場しましたが、さすがエンターテイメントの本場ということもあり客席は退屈することなく盛り上がっていました。
ファイヤーダンスも見ることができて良かったです。
最後、退場の際は出演者と写真を撮ることもできます。
またハワイに来たら行きたいと思いました。

The whole experience at the center was amazing, but the food at the Gateway Buffet was absolutely faaaaaaaaantastic! What a great way to spend the day in Hawaii, and see so many different aspects of the many Polynesian cultures that are featured at the center. Also, the evening show is a definite must-see for anyone who comes to Oahu!

We participated as a family of four (ages 3 and 8)♪ We took a shuttle bus from the meeting point. Upon arrival, a Japanese staff member was waiting at the entrance and kindly guided us to the free chairs in the kids' area, saying, "Everyone, please follow me!" It was very nice of them. There were relatively few guests, and there were plenty of shaded areas to rest. The free drinks were also great. However, there were no tea or water options, only juice, so I got a bit thirsty, haha. At the food court, card payments required showing a copy of the passport, so I was prepared, but with Apple Pay, there was no need for the passport copy; I could just tap the machine to make the payment. The official website has information about events, etc.^_^ Since the kids love Disney movies, we chose to go on Movie Day, when we could watch on a big screen while swimming. It was so much fun that we wished we could stay a few more hours^_^ Thank you very much!♪

家族4人(3歳&8歳)で参加しました♪ 集合場所からシャトルバスで向かいました。現地到着すると入り口で日本人のスタッフさんが待っていてくれ、『皆さん着いてきてください〜！』とキッズエリア前の無料のチェアまで一緒に案内してくださったり、とても親切でした。比較的お客さんも少なく、日陰も多く休めるところがたくさんありました。またフリードリンクも良かったです。ただ、お茶系やお水はなく、ジュースしか選択肢がないので喉が乾きました笑　フードコートでカード支払いはパスポートコピー提示とあり準備して行きましたが、ApplePayはパスポートコピー提示はなく、機械にかざすだけで決済できました。事前に公式HPで、イベントなど記載してあります^_^子どもたちはディズニー映画が大好きなので、泳ぎながら大スクリーンで見れるMovieDayの日にしました。楽しくてあと数時間いたいくらいでした^_^ありがとうございました♪

I was a bit anxious because the pickup bus took a long time to arrive. The guide who showed up after the scheduled time directed us to a bus that had been parked a distance away for over 20 minutes, so I wonder if the guide was late? We also had to wait a bit for the return bus, so while the tour was good, the bus experience was a bit lacking.

The tour provided guidance in Japanese, and the staff were very friendly to the little kids, which made it enjoyable for everyone! The sandbar was about waist to chest deep, and my 11-month-old was able to have their first experience in the ocean with a float. The hamburgers on the boat were also very delicious, and we saw several sea turtles swimming from the boat! The snorkeling area was larger than I expected; my husband went around the whole area, but I was scared, so I enjoyed snorkeling nearby, and I was still able to see many fish and corals. They kindly taught us how to snorkel, and if you’re not a strong swimmer, they provided flotation devices.

The weather was nice, so I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and had a fulfilling day.

ピックアップのバスが中々来なくて少し不安になりました。時間を過ぎて現れた案内人が案内してくれたバスは20分以上前から離れたところに停まっていたため、案内人が遅れていたのかな？帰りのバスもすこし待たされたため、ツアーは良かったけどバスがちょっとイマイチだったかな。
ツアーは日本語で案内もしてくれるし、小さい子どもにもたくさん声をかけてくれて楽しく参加することができました！サンドバーは腰から胸くらいの深さで、11ヶ月の子どもも浮き輪で初めての海デビューをすることができました。船上でのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメも船から何匹も泳いでいるところがみえました！シュノーケリングポイントは思ったより広くて、夫は一周まわってきましたが、私は怖かったので近くでシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、それでもたくさんの魚やサンゴを見ることができました。シュノーケリングの仕方も優しく教えてくれるし、泳ぎが得意でなければ、浮具も貸してもらえていました。
天気も良かったので、ハワイのきれいな景色も堪能して、一日充実して過ごすことができました。

My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.

I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set
