All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

Eight years ago when I participated, the weather was good, and the sandbar was at knee height, which made it very enjoyable.

The snorkeling felt like swimming in a line, and the staff was right there with us in the water, which was reassuring.

Now that my child has grown a bit, we participated again, but this time the water was at adult chest height, and my child couldn't enjoy it. The snorkeling spot was murky, and we couldn't see many fish.

Previously, the staff entered the water with us and kept an eye on us, but this time they just watched from the boat.

It was quite scary when we drifted off course due to the waves.

I participated this time because I felt safe before, but while it seems like anyone, even beginners or those who aren't good swimmers, can join, it's challenging when dealing with nature.

Personally, I think I would have skipped snorkeling today because it was quite frightening. It would have been better to have some information about the sea conditions today, like if there were more waves than usual.

There wasn't much confirmation of the number of people before and after entering the water, so I was left wondering about the safety measures in place.

I wouldn't really recommend this for people who don't have much experience in the sea.

以前（8年前に）参加した時は天候も良く、サンドバーも膝ぐらいの高さでとても楽しめました。

シュノーケルも列になって泳ぐという感じで
スタッフの方が一緒に海に入ってすぐ側にいて
安心できました。

子供が出来て少し大きくなったので
また参加したのですが

今回は大人の胸ぐらいの高さで
子供は楽しめずでした。
シュノーケルの場所も海は濁っていて
魚はあんまり見えませんでした。

またシュノーケルも以前はスタッフの方が
一緒に海に入って見守ってくれてましたが
船の上から見てるだけでした。

波に流されてコースから外れると結構怖くて、、

以前が安心して参加出来たので
今回参加したのですが

初心者だったり、泳ぎが得意じゃなくても
参加できます！という雰囲気ですが

自然相手なので難しいとは思いますが

個人的には今日はシュノーケルはやらずにいたと思います。結構怖かったので。
いつもより波があるよ今日の海の情報とかがあると
もう少し説明があると良かったと思います。

海に入る前後の
人数確認とかも特にされてなかったので
安全対策とかどうしているのかは謎ででした。


海の経験がそんなにない人にはあまりおすすめできません。。

Transpo- very good
Overall tour is very informative and enjoyable. Tour guides are great. Able to see uss misouri,uss bowfin and uss arizona memorial. The museum is great! I was talking to one of the personnel and he even gave me story about pearl harbour. Food serve is delicious. Able to meet my kababayan from Philippines. Thank you

I had a great time with activities that you can't find in Japan. Some were thrilling, almost like an amusement park, and I couldn't help but shout out! There was also a children's zone where little ones could have fun.

There were no masks or social distancing, but I didn't mind since I went on a weekday. We took a shuttle bus and arrived around 10:30, and until about noon, it felt like we had the place to ourselves with hardly any wait time, which was comfortable! After that, it got a bit busier, but it was still good because we could ride after a short wait.

日本には無いアクティビティでとても楽しめました
プールというより遊園地のようなスリルがあるものもあり思わず声が出ちゃいました！！
子どものゾーンもあり小さなお子さまはそちらでも楽しむことが出来ます。

マスクやソーシャルディスタンスは全くありませんが、行ったのが平日だったからか気になりませんでした。
送迎バスで行き、10時30分ごろに着きましたが12時くらいまでは貸しきりのような状態でほとんど待ち時間無く快適でした！その後も少し混んではきたものの、少し待てば乗れたので良かったです

This was my first time participating. The ocean was, of course, wonderful, and even though it was an early morning tour, I was able to participate comfortably. Above all, the hospitality of the staff and their attention to safety were outstanding. I would like to participate again.

今回始めて参加しました。
海は当然素晴らしいし、早朝ツアーでしたが、快適に参加できました。何よりスタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティー、安全を配慮した対応が素晴らしかったです。また参加したいと思います。

I went with my 6-year-old son and my husband. My son came back excited, saying, "I want to go again! The water slide was the best!!"

As for my husband, he said, "It was definitely fun, but we didn't have enough time at all. We chose the premium course, but it felt like a waste of time to go get drinks and food even with the all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat options, so I think a simpler course would be sufficient. The Japanese guide was with us only at the beginning and the end, but I appreciated the explanations. There was also time spent waiting in line, so we just didn't have enough time."

6歳息子と主人と2人で行ってきました。
息子は「また行きたい！ウォータースライダー最高！！」と興奮して帰ってきました。

主人の方は
「確かに楽しかったけど、時間が全然足りなかった。
プレミアムコースにしたけど、飲み放題や食べ放題でも飲み物や食べ物をとりに行く時間がもったいないから、シンプルなコースで十分だと思う。
日本語ガイドさんが最初と最後だけついてくれたけど、説明してくれたのはありがたかった。
列に並ぶ時間もあるから、とにかく時間が足りなかった。」と言っていました。

The turtle was swimming. The shuttle driver was very friendly and nice. However, the water temperature was surprisingly low, and my wife and daughter seemed to be quite cold.

亀泳いでました。　送迎の運転手さんからしてフレンドリーで大変良いです　ただ以外と水温低くて　妻と娘はかなり寒かったようです

I made a reservation about three days before the experience. On the day of the event, I wondered why there were so few people, and it turned out that there was no beach visible at all. The water was cold, and after snorkeling, I quickly returned to the boat. The high encounter rate with sea turtles was fantastic.

体験日の3日前くらいに思いついて予約をしました。当日なぜこんなに人が少ないのかなと思っていたら何と全然砂浜は見れない日でした。水も冷たくシュノーケリングの後、すぐに船に戻ってしまいました。海亀の遭遇率が高いのは最高でした。

As we sailed, we suddenly came across a sandy shallow area offshore. SUP was fun there, but moving to a slightly deeper spot for snorkeling was the best! I was moved to see tropical fish and sea turtles swimming right next to me.

Actually, I had a bit of a trauma from almost drowning while snorkeling in the past, but the captain practiced with me by holding my hand beforehand, and the staff members watched over me closely, which made me feel safe while swimming.

They also provided warm drinks on the boat, which was very nice for my slightly chilled body.

船を走らせて行くと、沖の方に突如現れた砂浜の浅瀬。そこでのSUPも楽しかったですが、その後少し深いところに移動してのシュノーケリングが最高！自分のすぐ近くを熱帯魚やホヌが泳いでいく姿を見ることができて感動しました。
実は昔シュノーケリングで溺れかけたことがありちょっとトラウマがあったのですが、事前にキャプテンが手を持って練習してくれたこと、スタッフの方々がすぐそばで複数で見守ってくださったことで安心して泳げました。
船上の飲み物も温かいものを用意してくださり、少し冷えた身体にはとても嬉しかったです。

The crab was really tasty. Overall, really liked this menu. There's also entertainment on-board. We really liked walking around the boat and the observation deck on the top floor of the boat was my favorite. There were lounge chairs on the top deck so it was the perfect place to catch sunset.

Tips:
-You can do menu substitutions (ex. vegan, fish instead of steak, etc.) if you request it 24-hours prior

Absolutely LOVED this dinner menu. We opted for the Friday Fireworks cruise with window seating. And it was worth it! I had done the other menus before (Buffet, Casual, & Deluxe) so I was looking forward to try out the fine dining menu.

The only not-so-great thing was the time it took for us to get any beverages. Our waiter passed us every time. We waited and waited - everyone else around us was being served. Finally, we flagged someone down but even they also took a long time so we had to flag a 2nd person.

The food was so delicious. Would definitely recommend the menu! This options also comes with premium drink tickets. We had mocktails which were delicious.

I felt very reassured to participate with the Japanese staff present. Thank you, Yukiko, for a great time. The sandbar was beautiful, and we were lucky to see both turtles and manta rays while searching for turtles. During the last snorkeling around the coral reef, I happened to see a big turtle up close, which was a shocking experience that I have never experienced before. All the staff, including the captain, were very kind. Thank you so much!

日本語スタッフがいて、とても安心して参加できました。Yukikoさん、楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
サンドバーの綺麗さ、亀探しでは亀もマンタも見ることが出来てラッキーでした。
最後のサンゴの周りでのシュノーケリングは、偶然にも大きな亀を間近で見ることが出来て、今まで体験したことが無い、衝撃的な感動をする事ができました。
船長も含めて、全てのスタッフさんが親切でした。
本当にありがとうございました！

I was miraculously able to see a manta ray, and I was so happy! Of course, I also saw many honu (sea turtles). The volleyball and snorkeling activities with the staff were a lot of fun, and the kids were thrilled! The burger for lunch was really delicious, just as the reviews said. All the staff were wonderful, and it was a fantastic tour!

奇跡的にマンタも見れ、幸せ〜
もちろんホヌもたくさん見れました。
お兄さんたちとやったバレーや、
シュノーケルはとても楽しくて
子供達も大喜びでした！
昼食のバーガーは口コミどおり
本当においしかったです。
スタッフ皆さん良い人で
素敵なツアーでした！

Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.

Aloha! We had a great time on the tour. Cousin Kimo was very knowledgeable and made the information on the tour interesting. It is the perfect length to get a sneak peak of Pearl Harbor and visit the Arizona memorial with a 3 year old in tow. So glad we did it. It is also a nice way to see a few of the hot spots downtown. Thank you cousin Kimo for all the information and the jokes that made it fun.

A beautiful view from above overlooking the Waikiki city while on a volcano crater!! with a fun delicious ending!! Take this tour you wont regret it.

The sunset dinner cruise was quite crowded. Since I had reserved a 5-star experience, there wasn't much of a feeling of congestion when I arrived on the floor, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meal also progressed slowly, so many people went out to the deck to enjoy themselves along the way. While sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the sunset... I realized the sky was filled with stars. Fireworks erupted from Waikiki Beach, and the atmosphere on the boat reached its peak! After that, we returned to port while indulging in jazz. It turned out to be a wonderful day.

サンセットディナークルーズはかなりの混雑ぶり。5スターを予約したのでフロアに着くとそれほど混雑感は無く、ゆっくりと楽しめました。食事もかなりゆっくりと進むので、途中デッキに出て楽しんでいる方も大勢いました。サンセットを眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら…気付くと満天の星空。ワイキキビーチから花火が上がり船内の盛り上がりも最高潮！その後、JAZZに酔いしれながら帰港。素敵な1日になりました。

Great food, good entertainment, great view of the fireworks, and ended the cruise with a fun dance party!

During my stay, I had been wanting to ride a catamaran, so I made a reservation for 11 AM two days later. The booking process was smooth. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we went further out than I expected. It was really fun to see Diamond Head from an angle I had never seen before, and it felt like I was walking on the beautiful blue ocean. Even the waves we encountered while on board felt refreshing. Most of the participants were from overseas, but everyone was in a relaxed mood, enjoying themselves in their own way. The duration of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long—and I was more than satisfied! I definitely want to go again next time.

滞在中、ずっと乗りたいと思っていたカタマランを思いつき翌々日の11時を予約しました。予約はスムーズに取れました。当日は天気も良く、思った以上に沖へ出ます。ダイヤモンドヘッドを見た事が無い角度から眺め青い海の上を散歩しているような感じでとても楽しかったです。乗船中被る波すらも気持ちいい。海外の方の参加が殆どでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ好きなようにリラックスして楽しむ雰囲気です。時間も短すぎず、長過ぎず丁度よく想像以上に大満足！次回も乗りたいと思います。

This is my fourth time participating.
It's incredibly refreshing!
We often join on the last day of our trip.
We take off our sandals on the beach before boarding, and we go barefoot inside the catamaran.
Depending on the waves, you might get splashed!
Make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
If you're lucky, you might even see a honu (sea turtle).

3.4回目の参加になります。
何しろ気分爽快‼️
私たちはよく旅行最終日に参加します。
ビーチでサンダルを脱いで乗船になり、カタマラン内では裸足です。
波によってはビチャーッ❗なんてことも……
日焼け対策はしっかり！
運が良ければホヌ(海亀)も見れます。

The cabana that I was supposed to have reserved was not actually booked, and it took a considerable amount of time at the reception. It was a waste of time. The driver's attitude was not friendly.

予約したはずのカバナが予約なっておらず受付でかなり時間がかかった。時間のロスでした。運転手の愛想が悪かった。

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

Even though it was summer vacation, we were able to participate in activities smoothly without waiting in line. The wave pool had large inner tubes available for free, which made the kids super excited. It was a lot of fun.

夏休みなのに、順番待ちもスムーズにアクティビティに参加できた。
波のプールも大きな浮き輪が無料貸し出しで子どものテンションが最高だった。
楽しかった。

We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.

The trip was fun and the staff were great. They gave great information about everything we were doing and safety was very important to them.

The sandbar was in the ocean, but the weather was great, the scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun! The guide was wonderful, and the hamburger was delicious. As mentioned in everyone's reviews, it's recommended to bring extra towels and a jacket since it can get cold!

サンドバーは海の中だったけど、それでもとても天気も良く景色も良く楽しかったです！ガイドさんも素敵でハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
みなさんの口コミ同様、寒くなるのでタオルや上着は多めに用意するのがおすすめです！

Thank you for allowing me to experience snorkeling despite my lack of confidence in swimming. I was moved by the sea turtles and various fish that I could see up close. Above all, I felt reassured to have staff who spoke Japanese. It's just a shame that the weather wasn't good.

泳ぎに自信がない私をシュノーケル体験させていただきありがとうございました。すぐそばで見れた海亀やさまざまな魚にも感動。何より日本語が話せるスタッフがおられ安心しました
ただお天気が良くなかったのが残念。

I visited in early August. All the slides were operational, and although there was a bit of a wait, the kids had a great time.

8月上旬に行きました。スライダーなどは全て稼働していて、多少並びましたが、子供も思う存分楽しめました。

I participated with my 9-year-old child.

It had been quite a while since I last rode a catamaran, so it was a nice change.

At this time of year, I think you don't have to worry too much about the weather, but since there was a hurricane, I wanted to see the beach as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made a last-minute reservation.
It was fine to book the day before, and I received an immediate confirmation email. There were no issues with check-in on the day.

Boarding involved getting wet up to about my knees, and there’s a rule to shake off the sand from your sandals before getting on. The seating is first-come, first-served, but everyone was courteous and shared.

Once we set sail and headed out, we caught the wind. The front of the boat took quite a bit of spray, but that’s part of the fun of being on a catamaran.
While it was calm at the beach that day, there were significant waves offshore, and we glided over them.
The first half was quite an intense activity, but on the way back, we enjoyed a peaceful sail while taking in the views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki.
I was able to take some great photos.

The downside was the location.
Based on my old memories, I headed towards the Sheraton, but I couldn't get through from the pool area and had to take a long detour from the parking lot to reach it.
It seems like you could access it from Kai Market or around the pool, but it felt like it was limited to Sheraton guests.
It would be helpful if there were more detailed route instructions.

9歳の子どもと参加しました。

自分がカタマランは乗ったのは随分前で久々の参加でした。

この時期は天気の心配はあまりしなくていいとは思いますが、ハリケーンもあったのでハワイに着いてビーチの様子を見たくて、直前の予約となりました。
予約は前日でも大丈夫で、即OKのメールがきました。当日のチェックインも問題なかったです。

乗船は膝くらいまで濡れる感じで、サンダルは乗る前に砂を落としておくルール。座席は自由な感じで、早い者勝ちだけど譲り合いながら。

出航して沖に出ると風を受けて進みます。前方はかなり波を被りますが、それがカタマランの楽しさ。
この日はビーチだと穏やかでしたが、沖は結構な波で、滑空するように波を乗り越えます。
前半はかなり激しいアクティビティでしたが、後半の帰りはダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを眺めながら、穏やかなセイリング。
いい写真撮れました。

難点は開催場所。
昔の記憶でシェラトンの辺りに向かうとプールの辺りから通り抜けられず、駐車場の方から大回りしてたどり着きました。
カイマーケットか、プールあたりからはいけそうなんですが、シェラトンの宿泊者限定っぽい感じで。
ルート案内がもう少し情報があれば。

The staff were kind, funny, and absolutely wonderful. They played with my child using water guns. The transportation staff were also friendly and gentlemanly. During snorkeling, when I felt a bit scared, they led me and said, "Let's go together." I've participated in several overseas tours, but I've never felt as safe and enjoyed myself as much as I did here. I highly recommend this tour.

スタッフさんが、優しいし、おもしろいし、最高でした。子どもと水鉄砲で遊んでくれました。送迎の方も親切で紳士でした。シュノーケリングでは、少し怖くなると一緒に行きましょうとリードしてもらえました。海外のツアーはいくつか参加しましたが、ここまで安心して楽しめたのはありません。おすすめしたい，ツアーです。

Instead of having an expensive meal at a restaurant, this package, which is reasonably priced and includes a show, is the best option. It's just a short walk from Waikiki Beach, so you don't need transportation, making it even more cost-effective. "The Sin Elvis Presley" is really hilarious. You absolutely have to see it. "The Sin Michael Jackson" is a bit too overweight (laughs).

ヘタにレストランで高価な食事をするくらいなら、それよりお値段もお手頃でショーが見れるこのパックは最高です。
ワイキキビーチからすぐなので、送迎不要で歩いて行くとさらにハイＣＰ。
「シン・エルビス・プレスリー」めっちゃ笑えます。絶対見るべき。
「シン・マイケル・ジャクソン」は太りすぎです（笑）。
