All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

Hanauma Bay is a beautiful place and the water is so pretty. The day we went, it was unfortunately very windy and the water was pretty choppy. We were able to see some fish, but the water wasn’t very clear due to the waves, but that’s nature for you! The snorkeling gear was very difficult for me. Water kept getting into my mask and it was very uncomfortable. I wish I had my own full face mask. But it was still an enjoyable time and would do it again. Our driver to the location was very friendly and did a great job. It was through kaimana tours.

I was worried about not being able to communicate in Japanese, but the tourists were separated into different boats for Japanese and foreign guests. There was one Japanese female crew member on our boat who kindly and patiently explained everything, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

The sandbar had waves about knee-high, making it easy to walk around. The emerald green sea was incredibly beautiful, with very little current, and it felt so nice! I took many photos with the stunning scenery in the background, and I am very grateful for that.

We also got to see sea turtles, and when we moved to a spot with coral, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket and see many beautiful fish, creating wonderful memories. (I can't swim, but with the life jacket and fins, I managed to swim alongside my husband.)

The hamburger lunch and drinks, along with the warm cocoa after snorkeling, were also very delicious. Thank you for the wonderful memories!! ♪♪

日本語通じないか不安でしたが、日本人観光客の船と外国の方で船が別れていて、船には日本人女性のクルーの方が一人いて、なんでも優しく丁寧に教えてくれたので、とても安心して楽しむことができました。
サンドバーは膝くらいの波の高さで安心して歩けました。
エメラルドグリーンの海はとても綺麗で、流れもほとんどなく穏やかでとても気持ちよかったです！
絶景をバックに写真もたくさん撮っていただき、大感謝です。
ウミガメも見れて、珊瑚のある場所へ移動してライフジャケットをつけてのシュノーケルも綺麗な魚をたくさん見ながら泳ぐことができ、とても思い出になりました。(私は泳げないですが、ライフジャケットと足ヒレで旦那と一緒でなんとか泳げました。)
ハンバーガーランチとドリンク、シュノーケル後のあったかいココアもとっても美味しかったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！！♪♪

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

This was the best tour I have done while living here on Oahu! We wanted to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. The Crew was so friendly and helpful. I will be recommending this tour to all our future visitors! Additionally, the lunch was bomb!! Cheeseburgers using local beef and fresh vegetables. They are local, they support local and are the true definition of Aloha!
Mahalo

The reception staff included Japanese speakers, which was reassuring.
It's a Hawaiian show that you can enjoy starting from dinner before the show begins.
The food included Hawaiian dishes that we wouldn't typically choose ourselves, and everything was delicious, even the dessert!

The show was enjoyable for all ages, tracing the history of hula as well as famous artists.

My parents are from the perfect generation and used to listen to this music a lot, so I want to take them next time.

受付には日本語対応のスタッフさんもいらっしゃって安心でした。
ショー開始前のディナーから楽しめるハワイショーです。
食事もハワイのお料理など自分たちでは選ばないようなものばかり、
味も美味しくデザートまで楽しめました！

ショーはフラの歴史はもちろん有名アーティストの歴史をたどるような年代に関係なく楽しめるものでした。

両親がドンピシャ世代で昔良く聞いていたので今度は連れて行ってあげたいなと思っています。

The wait from when we were seated until the meal started was quite long, and I ended up having a lot of time on my hands. We were seated at a long table in the order we arrived, so the people sitting next to me were from groups I didn't know at all. While we were waiting, a local person with a ukulele sang songs upon request, but they weren't very good, and it was quite tough to be forced to tip them. However, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the hula show.

席に座ってからご飯が始まるまでの時間が長く、かなり時間を持て余してしまいました。席は来た順番に長机に向かい合わせで座っていくので両隣はまったく知らないグループになります。待っている間ウクレレをもった現地の方が勝手にリクエストに応じて歌ってくれますがあまり上手でとなく、またチップを強制的に払わされるのが結構しんどかったです。でもご飯はおいしかったですし、フラショーは楽しめました。

There were many slides that you can't easily experience in Japan, and I had a lot of fun. It's a bit disappointing that the opening hours were a little short. There were also pools and slides that weren't open, so I would like to visit again.

なかなか日本では体験できないようなスライダーがたくさんあってとても楽しめました。開園時間が少し短いのが残念でした。
やってなかったプールやスライダーもあったので、また行ってみたいと思います。

I participated with my husband, daughter, and middle school grandson. The sandbar wasn't at low tide, but it felt safe in the shallow water. I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) too, so we all enjoyed it as a family. Later, my husband and I watched our daughter and grandson enjoy snorkeling from the boat, and it was so much fun! They were thrilled to see many turtles.

Above all, I was very satisfied with the staff member who spoke Japanese; she explained everything clearly and interestingly. My daughter and grandson both said they want to do it again! Thank you for all your help.

主人と娘と中学生の孫と参加しました。サンドバーは干潮ではなかったけど、浅瀬で安心感がありました。SUPは私もやってみたかったので家族で楽しみました。その後シュノーケルは私と主人は船から娘と孫が楽しんでいるのを見てましたが、とっても楽しかった！亀をたくさん見れたと大喜びでした。
何より日本語の話せる女性のスタッフが分かりやすく面白く色々話をしてくれとても満足でした。
またやりたい！と娘も孫も言ってます。
色々お世話になりました。

The full day was filled with so much history, we felt lucky we chose this event on our vacation!

Really had a great evening- the VIP seats were awesome as you could really see all the smile and hear the evening spectacularly!

Tons of fun, food was just okay, definitely a 1 time do but worth it to try for your first Hawaii visit

My son loved this, he was smiling ear to ear, and the dolphin lagoons are just gorgeous

Really fun evening! We would recommend this luau to our friends visiting.

Laughed out Loud!!! What a fun evening filled with lots of Hawaii memories :)

Slowed Down Pace, We really enjoyed the views of the West mountains!

The crew on this boat is AMAZING! They will make you feel so welcome and right at home. Like you are traveling with old friends. We had a great time and saw a ton of beautiful fish around the reef and even more turtles. We had our one year old son with us and the crew could not have been better and more caring about us having the best possible experience. HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

During snorkeling, we were able to see many turtles up close. The staff kindly taught my wife, who is not a strong swimmer, and they also kept a watchful eye on her, which made us feel safe. Above all, both the captain and the staff spoke Japanese well, and there were also Japanese staff members, which added to our sense of security. This is a recommended activity if you visit Hawaii. However, due to the tides, it's not guaranteed that sandbars will appear as shown in the promotional photos, so you might need to be a little cautious about that.

シュノーケリングでは、沢山の亀が近くで見られました。泳ぎの苦手な妻にも親切に教えてくれて、また、安全を見守ってくれているので安心です。何より、キャプテンもスタッフも日本語が上手な上に日本人スタッフもいて、安心度合いが違います。ハワイに行ったらオススメのアクティビティです。ただし、潮の満ち引きの関係もあるのでイメージ写真の様なサンドバーが現れるとは限りませんのでその辺は少し注意が必要かもしれません。

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon in Hawaii for the first time. I compared many sandbar tours, but I decided on this one because it offered both sandbar and snorkeling with plenty of time to enjoy both in the best conditions! In the end, it was a great choice!!!

There were two boats, one with Japanese support and one with English support, and the explanations in Japanese made it even more enjoyable!

The sandbar was just at high tide, so the water was about waist-deep, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took lots of photos for us! The time spent there was more than enough, and we even had time to practice snorkeling!

After that, we were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles, and even though it was from the boat, we could see them perfectly!

Finally, we had the snorkeling experience. We were able to see many fish while circling around a large coral reef. They provided fins and life jackets, making it very enjoyable even for beginners, so I highly recommend it. There was plenty of time for this as well, and it was fantastic.

The hamburger for lunch was, of course, excellent. By the way, I wore marine shoes, but I ended up taking them off to enjoy the experience, so they weren't necessary!

Lastly, the staff member Yukiko was very kind! It was the best! Thank you so much♪

ハネムーンで初めてのハワイで参加しました。
サンドバーツアーは他にもあり、めちゃくちゃ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、シュノーケリングで場所を変えるし、時間もたっぷりとってあったので、どちらもベストな状態で楽しめるのではないかと思ったのが決め手でした！結果、大正解！！！
日本語対応のボートと英語対応のボートと2台あり、いろんな説明を日本語でしてくださったのもより楽しめてとても良かったです！！！
サンドバーはちょうど満潮のタイミングだったので、腰くらいまでありましたが、とても綺麗で、スタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくれます！滞在時間も十分すぎるくらいで、シュノーケリングの練習する時間もありました！
そのあとウミガメが見れるスポットに連れてっていただき、船の上からですが、バッチリ見れました！
最後はシュノーケリング体験です。大きな珊瑚礁の周りをまわりながら、たくさんのお魚を見ることができました。フィンとライフジャケットを貸していただき、初心者でもとっても楽しめるのでオススメです。こちらもたっぷり時間があり、最高でした。
ランチのハンバーグももちろん最高です。
ちなみにマリンシューズを履いて行きましたが、脱いで楽しんだので、不要でした！
最後に、スタッフのyukikoさんはとっても親切でした！最高！ありがとうございました♪

Even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it!
I was amazed by the beautiful fish that were very close by. I saw angelfish and butterflyfish swimming over the coral, as well as a sea turtle popping its head out of the water and a stingray flapping its fins. Yukiko, who guided us in Japanese, was very interesting, and the captain and all the staff were kind. The hamburger lunch was also very delicious. It was the end of September, but it was quite cold, so it's a good idea to bring a warm jacket for comfort.

泳ぎが苦手な方でも楽しめます！
すごく近くに綺麗な魚がたくさんいて感動しました。エンゼルフィッシュ、チョウチョウウオが珊瑚の上を泳いでいたり、ウミガメが海から顔を出す姿、エイのピチピチ鰭を出す姿も見ることができました。日本語で案内をしてくれたユキコさんもとても面白くて、キャプテンやスタッフ皆さん親切でした。ハンバーガーランチもとても美味しかったです。9月末でしたが結構寒かったので暖かい上着も持っておくと安心です。

On our honeymoon, we wanted to experience the essence of Hawaii on our first day, so we participated in this show!

First, we were excited to receive leis around our necks! When we sat at our table, there were two other Japanese couples already there.

As soon as we sat down, a woman with a ukulele appeared, inserting a $10 bill into her instrument. After playing a couple of songs, she immediately asked, "Do you know tip?" which, while feeling somewhat American, was a bit of a letdown. I wondered how much tip we would be expected to pay before even eating (laughs). The other Japanese couples at the same table seemed a bit taken aback.

After that, we enjoyed our meal while watching hula dancing. The food and the dance were not bad, but I felt that we shouldn't expect the same level of hospitality as in Japan.

The following show was of very high quality and quite lively. The dancers all looked like they were having fun, and it was really enjoyable to watch.

At the end, I got a photo and autograph from Michael. This was a nice keepsake!

I think once is enough for this experience, but since the location is good, participating in the show just to feel the Hawaiian vibe might be worth it!

ハネムーン、着いた初日にハワイらしさを味わいたく、このショーに参加しました！
まずはレイを首にかけて貰ってテンションアップ！テーブルに着席すると同じく日本人カップルがもう2組いました。
着席するやいなや、ウクレレを持ったおばさんがウクレレに10ドル紙幣を挟み登場。2曲ほど弾いたあとに、Do you know tip〜? とすかさず聞いてきて、ある意味アメリカらしさを感じつつも興醒めしました。ご飯を食べる前からこれか、一体いくらチップを払わされるんだろう…と(笑) 同テーブルの日本人カップルは若干みんな引き気味でした。

その後はフラダンスを観ながらご飯を食べました。ダンスもご飯も悪くはありませんが、日本ほどのホスピタリティを求めて行ってはいけないかなと感じました。

その後のショーはとてもクオリティも高く、盛り上がりました。ダンサーさん達もみんな楽しそうに踊っていて、観ていてとても楽しかったです。

最後にマイケルに写真とサインをしてもらいました。これは良い記念になりました！

1度行けばもういいかなと思いますが、まぁ立地も良いですしハワイらしさを感じるにはとりあえずショーだけ参加するのはありかもね！と思います。

The location was great, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The shows featuring not only hula dancers but also singers impersonating Elvis and Michael Jackson were very impressive. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the exchanges in English between the performers and the audience. It seemed that the American tourists from the mainland enjoyed it even more.

立地が良いので、買い物や食事に合わせて利用できた。フラのみならずプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮した歌手によるショーは見ごたえ充分。残念なのは、タレントと観客との英語による応酬がこちらに分からなかったこと。本土から来た米人観光客たちは、一層楽しんだようだった。

I went at the timing of the lowest tide during my stay, and it was about waist-deep. The staff mentioned it was shallow, so it might not be possible to see the sandy beach. However, even from a distance, the color of the sea here is completely different, which makes the journey exciting. I was wondering where we would do stand-up paddleboarding, so it was quite understandable.

The edge of this reef is a coral reef (with steep cliffs), and there are many sea turtles there. Everyone swims along with the staff, so it's safe to observe (though it gets a bit congested... (laughs)). Sometimes they come close to the surface for air! (The staff said I was lucky.) Of course, we shouldn't touch them.

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned halfway through, and I couldn't take any pictures of the sea turtles, which was disappointing, but I was able to remember it well, so that was enough for me.

The cheerful and energetic staff, delicious spam onigiri, and fun activities... I had a wonderful experience.

滞在中最も干潮になるタイミングで行きましたが、それで腰ぐらいの深さでした。スタッフさんは浅いよ〜っておっしゃっていたので砂浜が見えることは無いのかもしれません。ただ遠くから見てもここだけ全く海の色が違うので向かう途中からワクワクします。そもそもサップをどこでやるんだろう？と思っていたので、まあ納得でした。
この岩礁の縁は珊瑚礁になっていて（切立った崖）そこにウミガメが沢山います。スタッフさんについて皆並んで泳ぎますので危なげ無く見学できます（ちょっと渋滞しますが…（笑）)たまに呼吸で浮かんで近くに来ることも！（ラッキーだよとスタッフさんに言われました）もちろん触っちゃいけません。
今回途中でカメラの調子がおかしくなってウミガメを全く撮る事ができず残念でしたが、記憶にはしっかり残せたので十分です。
明るくて元気なスタッフさん達、美味しいスパムおにぎり、楽しいアクティビティ…素晴らしい経験をさせてもらえました。

I chose the day with the lowest tide during my trip to Hawaii and made a reservation, but at the lowest point, the water was up to my knees.

Since it was an early morning course, it was cold! The water felt quite cold until I got used to it.

We headed to the sandbar on two boats, and our boat spent about an hour taking photos and enjoying stand-up paddleboarding freely. The last hour was for snorkeling. We were able to see several sea turtles! They swam very close to us! It was a bit disappointing that the water where we were snorkeling was a little murky, but I was very satisfied because I got to see so many sea turtles. For those who can't swim, the guide provides solid support, so there are no issues.

On the boat, there were self-service rice balls, snacks, and drinks. I was very grateful for the hot drinks.

Most of the participants were Japanese. It became a wonderful memory!

ハワイ旅行の日程の中で1番潮の引いている日にちを選んで予約しましたが

2つのボートでサンドバーへ向かい、私達のボートは
最初に約1時間弱、サンドバーで写真を撮ったりSUPに乗ったりと各々自由に過ごしました。
後半の1時間弱がシュノーケリングでした。
海亀を何匹も見ることができました！すぐ近くで泳いでくれます！
シュノーケリングしていたところの海水は少し濁っていたのが残念でしたが
たくさん海亀を見ることができたので大満足です。
泳げない人はガイドさんがしっかりサポートしてくれるので問題ありません。

ボートにはセルフサービスでおにぎりとスナック、ドリンクがありました。
ホットドリンクがあったのがとてもありがたかったです。

参加者はほとんど日本人でした。
とっても良い思い出になりました！

The tour was mostly made up of Japanese people. There were a few crew members who could speak Japanese, and after the English explanation, there was also a Japanese explanation, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Even though I can't float with a life jacket, I was able to participate in snorkeling thanks to the life jackets provided! There was also practice time for those who are not good at swimming, so everyone, including those who said they were not good at swimming, participated. There were many fish, and I was able to swim with the honu, making it an amazing experience.

ツアーは日本人が大半でした。
クルーの人は日本語が話せる方が数名いて、英語の説明のあと、日本語の説明もあったので、英語が苦手なわたしでも安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
カナヅチで浮くことも出来ないわたしでも、ライフジャケットがあったのでシュノーケリングにも参加できました！泳ぎが苦手な人の為に練習時間もあったので、同じく泳ぎが苦手と言っていた方も含めて全員が参加していました。
魚もたくさんいて、ホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができて、最高な体験が出来ました。

It took about 30 minutes from the time we sat down for our meal and received our drinks until we went to the buffet. The roast beef at the buffet was delicious. The show was so enjoyable that I was completely captivated. I experienced a lot during this trip, but this was my favorite.

食事の席に着いてドリンクが来てからビュッフェを取りに行くまでの時間が30分ほどありました。ビュッフェはローストビーフが美味しかったです。ショーは全てが見入ってしまう程楽しかったです。この旅で色々体験しましたが一番お気に入りでした。

From the beginning to the end you truly feel like you are part of the family. The host has such a love for Hawaiian history and the desire to preserve every ounce of it. What a beautiful display of culture. The meal was more then anyone could hope for. If time would have permitted we definitely would have attended again.

The shuttle from the hotel was lively and filled with fun conversations, and we arrived at the port in no time! The weather was great, and the ocean was beautiful! We participated in snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. During snorkeling, they taught us how to swim, and we were able to see many fish and sea turtles. The staff were very friendly, and it was a lot of fun! I will definitely join again when I come to Hawaii!

ホテルからの送迎もわきあいあい面白トーク炸裂であっという間に港に到着！天気も良く、海がとても綺麗！！私たちはシュノーケルとサップに参加しました。シュノーケルでは泳ぎ方から教えてくれ、たくさんの魚と海亀も見ることができました。スタッフの方がとても気さくでとても楽しかったです！またハワイに来た際は参加します！

Lots to do but equipment has seen better days. Bathrooms were portable

I wasn't very interested in the show at first, but I made a reservation anyway. However, once I participated, I had a great time and I'm glad I went! My family enjoyed it as well! It was also nice to have time to take photos with the performers after the show!

あまりショーは興味がなかったのですが、とりあえず予約しました。
しかし参加してみるとすごい楽しく、参加して良かったです！家族も楽しんでおりました！
ショーの後に演者と写真をとれる時間もまたよかったです！

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！
