All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

The weather was nice, and the waves by the shore weren't too bad, but once we headed out to sea, raised the mast, and started sailing, the waves began to rise, and the thrilling experience of getting splashed was so much fun. We got quite wet, but by the time we returned to shore, we were completely dry. My husband and I talked about how if the price were a bit lower (it felt very much like Hawaii), we would be happy to go every time.

天気も良く岸辺の波は大したことはなかったのですが、沖合に出てマストを上げて航行が始まったころから何が高くなり始めてバッサーンと波を被りながらのヨット体験はとってもスリリングで楽しかったです。
結構濡れましたが岸に戻るころにはすっかり乾いていました。
もう少しお値段が安かったら（とてもHawaiiらしくて）毎回乗ってもいいねと主人と話しています。

On the day of the visit, there was a sandbar, so we could walk. However, because the tide was low, the paddle boat was too shallow and got stuck, making it difficult to ride. Snorkeling was great as we were able to see two turtles. It was allowed to bring in beer, so we brought two bottles and chilled them. It seemed that people from Taiwan brought a case of six. Enjoying beer while snacking was the best!

当日はサンドバーが出ていて歩けました　逆に潮が引いていたためパドルボートが浅すぎて引っかかって上手く乗れなかった　シュノーケリングは亀が2匹も見れて良かったです　ビール持ち込みOKとなっていたので2本持っていって冷やしていただきました　台湾からの人は6本ケースで持ってきていたようです　スナックを食べながらのビール最高でした

This is my second time on the Kamataran. I repeated it because I had a great experience four years ago, and it was still amazing.

Last time, I encountered a pod of dolphins, which was a wonderful memory. This time, encountering sea turtles was the highlight!

今回2回目のカマタラン号
4年前に乗ったカマタラン号が良くてリピートしましたがやっぱり最高でした。

前回はイルカの群れと遭遇していい思い出。
今回は海亀と遭遇最高でした。

My wife can't swim, but the staff member Jenny warmly supported us until the end. Mahalo! I want to go to the sandbar again!

妻が泳げないのに、スタッフのジェニーがあたたかく最後まで、サポートしてくれました。マハロ！
また、サンドバーに行きたい！

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo

The staff spoke Japanese and were very kind, which made for a wonderful experience. I got to see sea turtles in the beautiful ocean, and it was the best experience. I would love to participate again.

スタッフが日本語話せてとても親切な人でとても楽しめました。
綺麗な海でウミガメにも会えましたし、最高の体験が出来ました。また参加したいです。

Emi and Natsue, the Japanese staff, were very kind and provided thorough explanations. The tour included a round-trip shuttle, lunch, and bicycles (for those who can't ride, there is also a bus to Kailua Town) for a full five hours. The rental of mats and bodyboards was also good. I think this is perfect for those who want to relax on the beach but also want to shop and see Lanikai Beach. It was also appreciated by Japanese guests that there were changing rooms and lockers. I will use this service again. Thank you!

日本語スタッフのえみさんとなつえさん。
とても親切で説明も丁寧でした。（all日本語です）
ツアー内容も往復シャトルとランチと自転車（乗れない人はカイルアタウンへのバスもあり）でたっぷり5時間。ゴザやボディーボードの貸出もgood。
ビーチでのんびりしたいけど、買い物もしたい！ラニカイビーチも見たい！という人にはぴったりだと思います。
更衣室やロッカーがあるのも日本人にはありがたかったです。
また利用します。ありがとうございましたー！

It was more fun than I expected.
Go, Michael!
There was also a live band, which was great.
There was even Presley, so the genre was diverse and I wasn't bored at all.

予想以上に楽しかったです。
マイケルがんばれ！
生バンドもあったのでとても良かったです。
プレスリーもいたのでジャンルが幅広く退屈しなかったです。

Cheif's Luau is a MUST DO!!! This was our favorite thing we did on our entire trip to Hawaii. If possible, pay for transportation included. The ride to the luau was fun and informative - it was like a mini tour because the guide taught us some Hawaiian words, fun facts, gavw us cultural insights, and even made jokes! This was literally the best thing ever! This is perfect for everyone! Kid friendly, but also perfect for couples and families alike. In fact, the Luau was so great that I think mostly adults would appreciate all the effort made by Cheif and Tamatoa! Best fire show also!! 10/10

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to my hotel and there weren't many options available at the last minute, but it turned out to be a great decision. I had a wonderful experience.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat.

Once in the water, I swam surrounded by schools of colorful fish of various sizes. (The staff threw food from the boat, so many fish gathered around.) After that, the staff guided us by swimming to the turtle point. We were able to see three turtles that day. They occasionally came up to the surface for air, allowing us to see them up close, which was incredibly exciting!

After the snorkeling time ended, we returned to the boat and sailed out to sea with the sails up, moving quite fast. I was fine, but those who are sensitive to motion might want to be cautious.

The website mentioned bringing a "photo ID," so I brought my passport, but it wasn't required. I didn't read it carefully, but it seems it was needed if you wanted to purchase alcohol on the boat. I misunderstood and thought it was required for the tour participation, so I would appreciate it if the wording could be changed.

After getting out of the water, it can be chilly with the sea breeze, so it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up or a large towel. Also, there are no staff members who speak Japanese. They explain the precautions before entering the water, so having good listening skills would be helpful. (Since they use gestures, you might manage if you can catch some key words.)

集合場所が宿泊ホテルに近かったのと、間際の予約で他にあまり無かったので選びましたが、結果的に大正解でした。とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ボートでスノーケリングポイントに着いた頃合いで、イルカの群れに遭遇！
ボートの上からしばしイルカ見物。
海に入り、大小色とりどりの魚の群れに囲まれながら遊泳。
（スタッフがボートから餌を投げるので沢山集まってきます）
その後、ホヌポイントまでスタッフが泳いで誘導してくれました。
この日は3匹のホヌに会えました。時おり水面まで息をしに上がってくるので本当に真横にホヌを見ることが出来、大感激！
スノーケリングタイムが終わった後は、ボートに戻り、沖合まで帆を上げてかなり飛ばしていきます。私は大丈夫でしたが、揺れに弱い人は要注意です。
WEBには持ち物に『写真付きのID』と書かれていたのでわざわざパスポートを持っていきましたが、提示は求められませんでした。よく読まなかったのがいけないですが、ボート上でお酒を購入したいときに必要ということだったようです。ツアー参加の際に掲示を求められると勘違いしてしまいましたので、書き方を変えていただけると嬉しいです。　
水から上がった後海風に吹かれて寒いので、長袖の羽織るものか大き目のバスタオルは有った方が良いです。あと、日本語話すスタッフはいません。海に入る前に注意事項を説明されるのでヒヤリング力は有った方が良いです。（身振り手振りの説明なので単語が聞き取れればなんとかなるかも）

Super amazing guide! My son said this was his favorite part of our vacation!

This tour was truly a full day adventure! I am so happy I visited the PCC and took the time to learn more about Hawaiian culture. The family and I loved the Luau!

The food was very delicious, and the show was a lot of fun. I definitely want to come again. Thank you to everyone who took care of us.

お料理も、とても美味しかったし、ショーもとても楽しかったです。
また、是非来たいです。
お世話をして下さった皆様、ありがとうございました。

A bus will pick you up near the hotel and take you to the port where the boat is located. From there, you can board the boat and head out to sea! When we went, it was raining a bit and the weather was bad, and it was quite cold, but we were still very satisfied because we got to see sea turtles! The boat provides drinks and snacks. It was really cold, so having warm hot chocolate was a lifesaver!

We also had our children (11 and 6 years old) with us, and it was helpful that we could borrow child-sized floaties and snorkeling gear. There was one guide who spoke both English and Japanese. Since we live in the United States, we didn't necessarily need a Japanese tour, but this tour was cheaper compared to local tours, and having Japanese staff made us feel more at ease. It also seemed like many of the participants were quite reasonable people.

ホテルの近くまでバスが迎えに来てくれます。バスに乗って船がある港まで連れて行ってくれます。それから、船に乗って海へ！私たちの時は雨が少し降っており天候が悪く、かなり寒かったですが、それでもウミガメさんを見れたので大満足でした！船では飲み物やスナックを提供してくれます。かなり寒かったので、温かいホットチョコレートがあって助かりました！

私たちは子供たち（11歳と6歳）も一緒だったのですが、子供サイズの浮き輪やスノーケリングのグッズを借してもらえたので助かりました。ガイドの方々は英語・日本語どっちも話せる方が１名いました。私たちはアメリカ在住なので、日本語ツアーじゃなくても良かったのですが、現地のツアーに比べてもこのツアーは安かったですし、やっぱり日本人の方が安心できますし、参加される方々も常識がある方が多い気がします。

I stayed at Ko Olina and was a bit curious, so I went to check it out for my next trip with my grandchildren. Even as an elderly couple, we had a great time. We rented a cabana, which was a bit pricey, but it came with complimentary fruit and mineral water in the cooler, so it might be essential for shade. I've also made a reservation to take my grandchildren in July!

コオリナに宿泊してチョット気になっていたので次回の孫との旅行での下見のつもりで行って来ましたが老夫婦二人でも結構楽しめました、ガバナを借りましたがチョット高めですがフルーツとミネラルウォーターがクーラーボックスにサービスでついてくるので日除けには必須かもです
又7月に孫を連れて行く予約しましたよ〜!

We were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful tour. Our kind guide provided various pieces of advice in Japanese. Snorkeling was a fun experience, as we got to see a honu right in front of us. Next time, I will be bringing my grandchild in July. Thank you!

天気にも恵まれ楽しくツアーを出来ました
日本語で親切なガイドさんが色々とアドバイス頂き
シュノーケリングでは眼の前にホヌとご対面みたいな楽しいバケーションになりました
今度は孫を連れて7月に行きます、宜しくお願い致します
＼(^o^)／

Loved that I booked it for the family. We had a fun time snorkeling. Pick up from hotel was great, liked that the shuttle bus driver looked for us since we stood on the wrong bus stop. The crew was amazing and very friendly. The co-captain lady was the best. She took her time to show us how to use the snorkel, fit our life vest, gave us drinks. The captain was super friendly as well. The water was warm and clean. The boat was clean, restrooms to use and to change in were clean. Snorkels were clean and easy to use. Burgers was the best and we even had hot chocolate at the end of the swim. They took us to the shallow area first which was great, and then the deeper area, we saw coral reefs, lots of fish, and even sea turtles. It was amazing thing to see.
Only thing is, they didn’t have enough seats to sit outside, so we stayed inside during boat ride, and towards the end of the ride, everyone was cold so mostly everyone went inside, so we had to stand, which is ok, about 10 mins only. Overall, still a very awesome trip and would definitely go again!

I participated in June 2023. The pick-up from the hotel during my stay was convenient, and if you choose an activity with lunch included, the morning schedule isn't too early, which I recommend.

After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay for boarding. There are restrooms at the dock, but it can get crowded with participants. Don't worry, there are also restrooms on the boat.

When boarding, there were separate boats for Japanese guests and guests from other countries, so the boat I boarded was filled with Japanese tourists. The guide spoke only Japanese, so there were no issues.

The sandy beach of the heavenly sea is more like a shallow area, with the water reaching up to my waist. We also had time to practice snorkeling.

As for the lunch, the hamburgers were freshly grilled on the boat, and the meat was quite delicious, which made me very satisfied.

After lunch, we moved by boat while watching the honu (sea turtles) and snorkeled for about an hour at a snorkeling spot before returning to the port and taking the bus back. I think we arrived at the hotel around 4 PM.

I was able to see the honu from the boat, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any while snorkeling.

Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Just be careful about sunburn.

2023年6月に参加しました。滞在中のホテルからのピックアップで、昼食付きアクティビティであれば朝もそこまで早くないのでおすすめです。
バスで1時間ほど走ったらカネオヘ湾に到着、乗船となります。船着き場にはトイレもありますが、参加客で混雑します。船の中にもトイレはありますのでご安心を。
乗船の際は、日本人客の船と、それ以外の国の客とに分かれて船が用意されているので、乗った船はすべて日本人観光客でした。ガイドも全て日本語でしたので問題ございません。
天国の海の砂浜は、砂浜というか浅瀬になっており、腰まで海水が届きます。シュノーケリングの練習時間も兼ねておりました。
昼食のハンバーガーですが、船内でお肉が焼かれた出来たてのもので、肉もかなり美味しく満足できました。
昼食後に船で移動して、移動しながらホヌをウォッチングしつつ、シュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほどシュノーケリング、帰港、バスで送迎となります。ホテル到着は16時ぐらいだったと思います。
ホヌは船から見れましたが、シュノーケリング中は残念ながら会えませんでした。
全体を通してかなり満足のいくものでした。ただ日焼けにはご注意を。

This luau was wonderful! Dinner was great, the service was well executed and we learned so much about the Polynesian culture. The show was awesome! Very talented performers who made it so much fun for everyone in attendance! This is a definite yes!!

As we crossed the mountain, it was raining in the valley, and I hoped that once we got over the mountain, it would clear up, but above the sea, there were clouds, clouds, and more clouds.

The moment we got off the shuttle and arrived at the dock, a downpour hit us ☔️. It stopped quickly, but it started raining again while we were on the boat..☔️. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, the rain stopped, and we all went snorkeling in the cloudy weather. We were able to see lots of fish and turtles! ☺️

It got a bit chilly, so we all got out of the water and enjoyed the rice balls, snacks, and drinks that were prepared on the boat during our break.

While we were resting, the sun peeked out ☀️!! In no time, the deep blue sea turned into an emerald color! I was lucky to see such a beautiful sea! After that, everyone enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and playing with floaties.

One slight disappointment was that we had to wear life jackets while snorkeling, which meant we couldn't dive down. However, since there were many corals, I think it was a necessary precaution to keep us floating and not touching the bottom. Also, since we were all snorkeling together, there were quite a few bumps and kicks throughout the experience, which was amusing. I recommend keeping some distance from each other while enjoying the activity!

The boat also provided warm drinks, so even though it was cold, it was surprisingly comfortable, and above all, I had a great time!

山を越えるので山の中は雨が降っていて、山を越えればと思いましたが海の上は雲、雲、雲。
そして送迎車を降りて船着場に着いた瞬間スコール☔️
すぐ止みましたが、船で移動中また雨が..☔️
でもサンドバーに着くと雨が止んでくれたので曇りの中みんなでシュノーケリング
魚や亀がたくさん見れました☺️！

寒くなってみんなでシュノーケリングから上がり、船で用意されたおにぎりやお菓子、飲み物を食べ飲みして休憩。


休憩していると晴れ間が☀️！！
あっという間に濃い青の海がエメラルドカラーに！
運が良かったのか、とても綺麗な海が見れてよかったです！
そのあとは各自SUPや浮き輪遊びなどで楽しめました。


ちょっと残念だったのはライフジャケットを着てのシュノーケリングなので潜れないことですかね。ただサンゴも多いので浮かせて足をつかせないようになどの配慮もあると思うのでそこは仕方ないと思いました。それから全員でシュノーケリングするので終始人にぶつかる、蹴られるが多かったです笑
各自で感覚を空けながら楽しむことをお勧めします笑


船では暖かい飲み物も用意してくれてるので寒くても案外平気ですし、なによりすごく楽しめてよかったです！

The two male crew members raising the sail were very cool, and with a happy song, we headed out to sea. The splashes of the waves were magnificent, the wind was pleasant, and I was moved by the majestic view of Diamond Head from the ocean. It was the best option for me. I will definitely ride again next time!

帆を揚げる2人の男性クルーがとてもcoolで、
ハッピーな曲とともに沖へ
波しぶきがとても豪快で、風も心地よく、
そして、沖から眺める雄大なダイヤモンドヘッドに感動
私にとって最高のオプションでした
次回も絶対乗ります‼️

After enjoying a buffet-style dinner, you'll be watching a show, so the time commitment will be longer. It’s better not to schedule anything else afterward. There is a roof, but since the dining is outdoors, there is no air conditioning. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere while watching hula dancing during the meal. I recommend this for your first trip to Hawaii.

ビュッフェ形式の夕食を楽しんだ後にショーを観るので拘束時間が長くなります。
次の予定は入れない方が良いでしょう。
屋根はありますが野外での食事なので空調はありません。
食事中もフラダンスも観れるので賑やかに楽しめます。
初めてのハワイ旅行でオススメします。

This time, I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with a Diamond Premier seat. With priority entry, I was able to sit right next to the stage, and it was an impressive show filled with the spirit of Hawaii! The food was also available to us first, and both the taste and portion size were great. However, everything from the entrance announcement was in English, so I couldn't understand the MC's jokes, which was a bit disappointing. It was a moment that made me realize the necessity of English conversation at my age. If the budget allows, I think it's better to participate with a Diamond Premier seat. Regular seats enter after the Diamond seats, and since the seating is further back, you can't feel the dynamism of the show.

今回は、初めてのハワイ旅行で、ダイヤモンドプレミアシートで参加させてもらいました。
優先入場で、席もステージの横で見ることができて、迫力があって、ハワイ感満載のショーでした！
料理も優先的に取ることができて、味もボリュームも問題ありませんでした。
ただ、入場案内から全て英語なので、MCのトークで笑いが起きても、理解出来ずで少し残念でした。英会話の必要性を、この年で感じた1シーンです。
予算が許すならば、ダイヤモンドプレミアで参加された方がいいと思います。レギュラーシートは入場がダイヤモンドシートのあとで、食事を取るのももあと、座席も後方なので、ショーのダイナミックさを感じることが出来ないです。

This is the 2nd year in a row my family and I have booked this snorkel cruise. We loved it each time. We loved being in the middle of the ocean snorkeling and being on the sand bar. We felt safe each time and had a lot of fun. The staff was wonderful and the food was great as well. Anytime we come to Oahu, Captain Bobs is our go to!

Such a great experience with the best crew and views! Drinks were great, safe environment, and family friendly.

Our honeymoon, and our first time in Hawaii!
We went to the sandbar (*^^*)
I heard it can be affected by the weather, but it was beautifully sunny! We also saw a lot of sea turtles, which was very moving (；＿；)
The hamburgers we had on the boat were exceptional!!
I definitely want to come back again!

新婚旅行にて、初めてのハワイ！
そしてサンドバーでした(*^^*)
天候によって左右されるとの事でしたが
見事に快晴！そしてウミガメも沢山見れてとても感動しました(；＿；)
船上で食べるハンバーガーも格別！！
また絶対来たいです！

I have been there for lunch before, and this time I visited for dinner. We went with six people, and since we had a reservation, we were smoothly guided to our seats. The dishes were all beautifully presented, and they tasted as good as they looked. I think it was a good deal since we booked through Veltra and had a course meal. We paid separately for drinks and tips on the day. I believe it's a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind. We made a reservation for 5:30 PM, but shortly after, it was fully booked, and there were people waiting at the reception, so it's definitely a place where reservations are necessary.

以前ランチで行った事があります、今回はディナーで訪問。
６名で行きましたが予約していたので、スムーズに席に案内していただきました。
お料理は見た目にどれも綺麗です。味も見た目通りで美味しかったです。
ベルトラさんで予約していたのでコースでしたが安くで済んだと思います。
飲み物は別料金とチップで当日支払いしました。安心して食事ができる店だと思います。
17：30予約していきましたが、少しすると満席で受付に待ってる人もいましたので、予約は必要な店ですね。

The hamburger with grilled meat that they made on the ship was delicious. The lady's conversation was enjoyable, and perhaps because the weather was nice, the ship didn't sway at all, so I didn't feel seasick. The sea was incredibly beautiful; there's no way it wouldn't look great in photos, all of them turned out amazing. I even got to see a sea turtle, so I was very satisfied.

船上で焼いて貰える肉が挟まったハンバーガーが美味しかった。
お姉さんの喋りも楽しく、気候が良かったのか全く船も揺れず、船酔いもありませんでした。
海も綺麗過ぎる、映えないわけがない、写真が全部神。
ウミガメにも会えたし大満足です。

We completely enjoyed our tour of this beautiful island. Our guide was amazing. Keyleon He had so much knowledge about the areas he expertly drove us to.
The only negative I found is that most people who took this tour were staying on this island. We did a flight from Oahu to Kauai. We missed our return flight due to slow traffic conditions. If you plan to island hop- make sure you get a later flight off this island or you will spend a huge amount of time in the airport.
