伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The content of the luau show was all in English, and there were parts I understood and parts I didn't, but the atmosphere was fantastic and I had a great time.

The ratio of Japanese people was low. We sat at a long table, and the food was served buffet-style. The staff seemed to be considerate and seated us next to a Japanese couple. They mentioned that they had been to Hawaii many times, and thanks to them, we received helpful tips about convenient places near our accommodation.

Before entering the venue, they took our pictures, and during the meal, they asked, "How about purchasing?"

Regarding the photos, I had been searching for them for a while and felt that the reviews weren't very good, but when I saw the actual photos, they were beautifully taken, so I decided to purchase one as a keepsake.

The other guests, upon realizing we were on our honeymoon, were very friendly, and we were able to chat a little in English, which was enjoyable.

The dancing was powerful and interesting, and the food was delicious!

I think if you have language skills, you could enjoy it even more!

ルアウショーの内容は全て英語で、所々分かったり分からなかったりでしたが、雰囲気も抜群で楽しかったです。

日本人の比率は少ないです。長いテーブルに座って料理はバイキング形式でした。
スタッフの方が気を使ってくださったのか、日本人のご夫婦とお隣にしてくれました。ハワイは何度も来ているそうで、おかげさまで、宿泊先近辺の便利な所を教えてくださったりで、とても助かりました。

会場の方が、入場する前に写真を取ってくれて食事中に「購入はどうですか?」という感じで聞かれます。

この写真については、以前から検索していて前評判が良くなかったと感じたのですが、実物の写真を見たらきれいに撮れていたので、せっかくだから・・・ と記念に購入しました。

私達がハネムーンだと分かった周囲のお客さん達も、とてもフレンドリーで少しだけ英語でお話したりできて楽しかったです。

ダンスも迫力があって面白かったし、料理もおいしかったです!

語学力があれば、もっと楽しめると思います!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as two women.
We were the only Japanese participants, and although we couldn't speak Japanese, the staff's thoughtfulness and cheerfulness made us feel completely at ease and allowed us to enjoy ourselves.

The cruise to the snorkeling point offered a view of the Big Island from the sea, allowing us to see a different side of Hawaii. We were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins!

The snorkeling experience was incredibly satisfying with the beautiful Hawaiian sea and fish! Even those who are not confident swimmers can borrow floatation devices, so there’s no need to worry.

For lunch, the staff treated us to homemade hamburgers. There were also desserts like brownies! Everything was very delicious. They took us to two snorkeling points, and we were very satisfied both in our stomachs and hearts!

Enjoying the ocean of Hawaii Island!! ハワイ島の海を満喫!!

Reviewed by: かえるぴょん

The parking lot designated from the Hilton Hotel where we stayed was quite a distance away, but the traffic flowed smoothly, and we arrived without getting lost and with plenty of time to spare. After checking in at the counter, we enjoyed some delicious coffee that was prepared while we waited for departure.

Once we set sail, we moved along the blue sea (at quite a speed!) next to the lava fields. There were just over ten participants, and only two groups were Japanese, including us. When we arrived at the spot, the guide explained the swimming area, and everyone entered the water at their leisure.

My English is at a middle school level, but the guide explained things with gestures, so there were no problems. It was my first time snorkeling, and although I was a bit scared in the very clear water, I quickly became captivated by the colorful, beautiful fish, and time flew by.

After swimming at two spots, we enjoyed BBQ hamburgers grilled on the boat, which left us both satisfied in our stomachs and hearts. We also visited several sightseeing spots and took lots of photos. The restroom on the boat was spacious and clean, making it easy to change into our swimsuits, which I personally appreciated. This is a great tour where you can see various aspects of the Big Island in just a few hours. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

 私達が宿泊していたヒルトンホテルから指定の駐車場まではかなり距離がありましたが、車は順調に流れ、迷わず余裕持って着くことができました。
カウンターで受付を済ませ、出航まで準備されていたおいしいコーヒーを飲んで待っていました。
出航すると溶岩大地と並走するように碧い海を(結構なスピードで!)進んで行きました。参加者は10人ちょっとくらいで、日本人は私達入れて2組だけでした。スポットに着くと添乗員が泳ぐ範囲などの説明をして、各々好きな時に海に入って行きました。
私の英語は中学生レベルですが、添乗員の方がジェスチャーを交えて説明してくれたので問題ありませんでした。
初めてのシュノーケルで、しかもかなり透明感が高い海で怖さも少しありましたが、すぐに色とりどりの綺麗な魚に見入ってあっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。
2ヶ所のスポットで泳いだ後に船上で焼いたBBQのハンバーガーを頂き、お腹も心も大満足でした。
観光スポットにもいくつか回り、写真もたくさん撮れました。船上のトイレは広くて清潔感があり、水着の着替えをしやすかったのが個人的には嬉しかったです。数時間でいろいろなハワイ島の姿が見られるお得なツアーです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいです!!

Having grown up in Hawaii, I have grown very fond of Mauna Kea and it is definitely my favorite place to be. This trip, though pricey, is well worth the expense. When will you ever see both the North Star and Southern Cross in one place? And when will you ever feel like you can just reach out and touch the stars. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions and concerns. This is by far the best tour I have ever taken on the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique adventure or anyone interested in the stars!

Enjoy the natural beauty of the ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の海の自然を満喫!

Reviewed by: DEXTE-K

Since it was a trip using a rental car, I had no trouble with transportation or exploring places. However, the meeting point at Keauhou Bay is located deep down a road, so it's advisable for first-timers to check a map in advance.

As for the English tour, there was absolutely no need to worry, as everyone pointed out. All the staff were friendly and spoke slowly and clearly, making it easy for me, who isn't very good at English, to understand even the jokes. They prepared the snorkeling gear before we boarded, and then we set sail.

At the designated spots, we were able to swim freely over the coral reefs in two bays suitable for snorkeling. The water clarity was high, probably around 30 meters. I was able to see various tropical fish, including butterfly fish. I had hoped to encounter sea turtles based on prior information, but unfortunately, that dream didn't come true. However, I did have an encounter with a large octopus about a meter long.

For lunch, we enjoyed freshly made big hamburgers and fruits, and I relaxed on the deck while sunbathing. The waves were gentle, so I don't think there was much worry about seasickness. Additionally, there is an option for a diving tour, but even just snorkeling and skin diving were thoroughly enjoyable.

On the return cruise, we were guided past the Captain Cook monument and the coffee belt area of Kona, as well as the nearby Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, allowing us to enjoy a bit of sightseeing of the Big Island from the sea. The English during that time was at a natural speed, and I could only grasp the content vaguely. It might be good to prepare in advance.

Most impressively, we were able to encounter wild dolphins and even saw dolphin jumps. It became a beautiful and joyful memory.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy the nature of the Big Island. However, when the weather is nice, don't forget to take measures against UV rays.

レンタカーを用いての旅でしたので移動や場所の探索に困りませんでしたが、集合場所のケアホウ湾は道の奥まったところにあり、初めての方は事前に地図等でよく確認しておいたほうがよいでしょう。

また英語ツアーですが、皆さんがご指摘した通り全く心配ありませんでした。スタッフの方々すべてがフレンドリーで、丁寧な対応でゆっくりと話してくださったので、英語のあまり得意でない私にもジョークも含めてよくわかりました。シュノーケリンググッズを乗船前に準備していただき、いざ出航となります。

案内された目的地では、シュノーケリングに適した湾に2箇所ほどで思う存分サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐことができました。透明度も高く30mほどはあったと思います。バタフライフィッシュをはじめ熱帯地区特有の様々な魚を観る事ができました。事前情報から海亀と出会えることを期待してましたが、残念ながら夢かなわず…。しかしながら、1mほどの大きなタコと遭遇することができました。

ランチには焼きたてのビッグハンバーガーとフルーツをおいしくいただき、日光浴をデッキの上で楽しみました。穏やかな波でしたし、船酔いの心配も特にないと思います。また、オプションでダイビングも1本楽しめるツアーですが、シュノーケリングとスキンダイブだけでも存分に楽しめるツアーです。

クルージングの帰路では、キャプテンクックの記念碑やコナ地区のコーヒーベルト地帯とその近くのプウホヌア・オ・ホナウナウ国立歴史公園の案内があり、海からのちょっとしたハワイ島観光も楽しめました。そのときの英語はナチュラルスピードで、なんとなくでしか内容の説明はわかりませんでしたが…。あらかじめ予習しておくといいかも知れません。

そしてなんといっても印象的でしたのが、野生のイルカと出会うことができ、ドルフィンジャンプも見ることが出来たことです。綺麗な嬉しく楽しい思い出となりました。

これぞハワイ島という程に自然を満喫できるお勧めのツアーです。でも、天気がいいときは、紫外線対策を忘れないように…。

Kona Manta Ray Snorkel & Night Dive Tour at Keauhou Bay - Sea Paradise

an experience of a lifetime!

Reviewed by: ashley

This was an amazing experience to witness. You are probably five minutes off the shore by the sheraton resort and are left to swim with huge manta rays that swim right up next to you. It is a little scary at first but after the first few minutes you get used to it. The staff on the boat are very friendly and pretty humorous. You definitly get your moneys worth on this activity because you are in the water for about 45 minutes and they dont let you get in until a manta ray shows up so your time with the manta rays isnt wasted. The only bad things I have to say about this activity which was kind of a personal problem was that I got stung in the butt my something. It hurt pretty bad but the stinging went away in about a hour. I dont think anyone else had this problem though so I wouldnt be too worried about it. I would definitly sign up for this activity is I was you!

Parasailing in Hawaii was my first time ever and it was quite an adventure. You get amazing views and I got to be in the air with my hubby for ten minutes. On the down side, I was expecting this activity to be my faviorite activity that we signed up for but in the end it wasent on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong, if you have never done this before than I would highly recommend it but if you have already expereienced parasailing than I would spend my money on something else. I think that I might do this again in the future but only if it is not too pricy.

My friend Nancy and I purchased this tour on the Fair Wind as a Father's Day gift for our husbands, Jay & Jim. Jay & I had taken a similar tour in Kauai last summer. We were expecting a similar activity this time, but were pleasantly surprised to find that it was so much more.

We all had a wonderful time and will definitely do the same thing the next time we are on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was also great that the departure place was only a five minute walk from the resort where we were staying. The crew was very helpful in instructing us as to where to snorkel and find the most fish. My husband got some great pictures with his underwater camera. The boat was not over crowded.

We parasailed during our visit to Kona. My 14-year-old twin sons participated while I observed from the boat. The staff was very professional and even joked with one of my sons who was extremely nervous, setting him at ease before his ride. The ride fulfilled their expectations to the fullest - they wanted to go back up immediately! Pictures were offered - I purchased them but haven't had an opportunity to develop them yet as we just returned home. Didn't really care for the sales pitch of t-shirts, visors, etc. at the end of the ride. As the boys were incredibly excited, I didn't want to disappoint them. I was "encouraged" to spend an additional $75 for t-shirts, which of course, I did. Overall, I would repeat the experience if the opportunity represents itself again!

Trip to Top of Mona Kea

Over many years of taking tours, I have seen many tour guides. However Buck Pelley ranks at the top of the stack. He is incredibly knowledgeable on such topics as geology, astronomy, plant life, and the history of the area. I hope that Buck remains as a tour guide. I would take another tour with him anytime anywhere.

The only thing that I would improve on the tour is the dinner. Although I understand the challenge of bringing food to the top of Mona Kea, the fish could have been hotter with a lot less salt. While the soup was good it was barely warm. Cookies were excellent

A world of silence like outer space.

Both departing and arriving at the ship can be done at a speed that is manageable for children and the elderly, and I believe there is a 100% guarantee that there will be no risk of water landing. While waiting in line, the ship was sailing at a reasonable speed, so I thought I would feel quite a breeze once we ascended, but I only felt a slight breeze when changing direction or when the wire was being reeled in for landing; it was mostly calm. It felt like just floating in space. Moreover, I was truly surprised by the silence. Since I was alone, it was a world completely devoid of sound, including any external noises. It was only a 10-minute experience, but I think it’s nice to try something like that once in a while.

宇宙空間のような静寂の世界
離船、着船ともに子供でも年配の方でも無理なく行えるスピードですし、着水の可能性も100%ないといって良いと思います。順番を待っているとき船はそれなりのスピードで航行していましたので上に揚がったらさぞかし風を感じるのかと思いきや、方向を変えるとき、着船のためワイヤーを巻き上げられるときに少し感じる程度で、殆ど無風です。空間にただ浮いているという感じでした。また何といってもその静寂さにはビックリです。自分は一人で乗ったので本当に外界の音を含め一切の音のない世界でした。たった10分間でしたがそんな時間を体験をしてみるのもたまには良いのではないでしょうか。

Reviewed by: himawari

I attended a Christmas luau with my elementary school child. In the morning at the hotel, I tried to reserve a Hanohano seat (which costs $8 for adults), but it was sold out. However, I was told that if we lined up on the left side of the coastal path, between around 4:20 and 4:30 PM (the gathering time was at 4:45), we could get good seats. This way, we ended up right behind the Hanohano seats in front of the stage. Upon entry, we received a shell lei for free. Mai Tais and beers were unlimited. After enjoying making fish out of tattoos and palm leaves, we watched the Kalua pig being brought out and the king entering from the sea, followed by our meal time (which included Hawaiian foods like poi and haupia, and we were full). The show featured dances from Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti, and a fire dance from Samoa (which the kids loved!).

It was interactive, with hula dancing, shouting greetings from each country loudly, and even doing lomi lomi massages with the person next to you, which was a lot of fun. There were few Japanese people, and the family next to us was from Portland, but we got along well. Let's enjoy together with the foreigners!

The meeting point was in a perfect location, just a five-minute walk from the Sheraton Keauhou Bay where we were staying. The catamaran was still new and very beautiful.

There were two of us and one other group of Japanese participants; everyone else was foreign. My husband is experienced with snorkeling, but I had only swum in a pool (where I could stand), so I was a bit scared at first. However, after being given a float, I was able to see many fish and was incredibly impressed! After seeing the lava tunnel, we dropped anchor in front of the Captain Cook monument, which apparently cannot be accessed by car. I was able to snorkel again. When we got out of the water, there was a wonderful smell...

It was the barbecue being cooked by the staff. We also enjoyed some wine, and the hamburgers were huge—probably three times the size of Japanese patties. It was a pleasant voyage with the sea breeze. Neither of us speaks English, but we had no trouble at all and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We would love to participate again.

I am nearsighted, so I usually wear regular snorkeling glasses, but I could hardly see anything. However, this time I was able to borrow glasses specifically for nearsightedness for the first time. Thanks to the captain who helped me find the right pair, my wife and I were able to dive (just floating in the waves) and saw amazing things. There were fish swimming right there! It was so moving!

While seeing the fish was great, the contrast of the catamaran sailing towards the horizon and the quiet navigation to the lava remnants (I didn’t understand the explanations since they were in English...) was wonderful. When the waves were calm, the feeling of racing at full speed across that sea made me feel exhilarated, and I think I forgot all about worldly matters.

Also, while the interaction with nature was nice, the barbecue prepared by the staff on the boat was very delicious. I definitely want to participate again next time!

 と言うのも私は近眼ですので普通のシュノ−ケルグラスをつけていました。でもほとんど見えない状態でした。が、今回初めて近眼用のを貸していただきました。キャプテンが私に合うのを探してくださったおかげです。家内と潜る(単なる波間に漂う)と素晴らしいものが見えました。すぐそこに魚が泳いでるのです。ア・ア感動!でもっての冒頭の感動詞です。魚を見るのもいいですがカタマランの水平線への運航、溶岩跡への静かな運転と説明(英語ですのでわかりませんが・・・)好対照で素晴らしかったです。波が静かな時、あの海をフルスピ−ドで疾走した時気持ちが、高揚し世俗のことは、すべて忘れてしまうと思います。
また、自然とのふれあいも良かったですけれども、船上でのスタッフが焼いてくれるバ−べキュ−もとてもおいしかったです。今度の機会にもぜひ参加したいです

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ(キングカメハメハホテル内)<ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It was a fleeting moment! あっというまの時間でした!

Reviewed by: MIKI

It was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I absolutely wanted to experience a luau! I thought it might be a bit different from Oahu, so I joined this tour. It was more packed than I expected, and I wanted to experience various things, so the time flew by.

First, he bought me a fresh lei for a commemorative photo! (Even if you don't buy one, everyone receives a shell lei.) When we were shown to our seats, the men immediately got up to grab drinks from the drink bar. In the meantime, I greeted the people at the same table. Then we headed to the plaza where various events were happening. First, I got a tattoo-style painting on my arm. I requested my favorite honu (sea turtle)! I also joined a hula lesson that had already started nearby. They quickly taught us the choreography for one song. I learned how to crack a coconut and did some weaving with lauhala (though I wasn't participating, so I don't know what was being made). Then they showed us the kalua pig, which is the main dish for dinner (a whole pig cooked underground).

There was never a dull moment! As the sun began to set, a canoe carrying Kamehameha arrived from the shore. This marked the beginning of the show. When I returned to my seat to get food, various dances from different countries were performed on stage.

I was able to chat with a newlywed couple from California at my table, and it was a very enjoyable evening.

初めてのハワイ島でした。
絶対に体験したかったのがルアウ!オアフより離島かな~と思い、このツアーに参加しました。
思ったより、盛りだくさんで、いろいろなものを体験したかったので、あっというまに過ぎてしまいました。

まず、生レイを彼に買ってもらって、記念撮影!(買わなくてもシェルレイが全員もらえます。)
席に案内されると、男性陣はすぐに席を立ってドリンクをゲットしにドリンクバーへ。
その間に同じテーブルになった人たちとごあいさつ。
そしていろいろな催し物がある広場へ・・・。
まずは、うでにtatoo風ペイントをしてもらいました。私は大好きなホヌをリクエスト!
そしてすでに横で始まっていたフラレッスンに途中参加。
ざっとですが、1曲振り付けを教えてもらいました。
ココナッツの割り方を教えてもらったり、ラウハラで何か編んだり(参加してなかったので何を作っていたのかわかりません。)そうかと思えばディナーのメインでもある、カルアピッグ(豚を丸ごと蒸し焼きしたもの)の姿を見せてくれたり。
とにかく、暇がない!!
そして、日が暮れかかった頃、海岸からカメハメハを載せたカヌーがやってきた。
ここからショーの始まり。
席に戻って、料理を取りにいくと、ステージではいろいろな国のダンスが披露された。

同じテーブルになったカリフォルニアからの新婚さんともお話できたし、とても楽しい夜でした。
