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＞

Three and a half hours. たっぷり３時間半

Reviewed by: madai

I stayed at the Courtyard King Kamehameha Hotel. The show takes place at this hotel.

We were supposed to gather at 5:00 PM, but when we arrived, there was a long line in the hallway next to the lobby. I recommend arriving early for check-in, as being late in line can affect your meal time later. If you pay a special fee, you can get seats closer to the front and don’t have to wait as long.

When you line up, they will ask if you want a flower lei or a shell lei. The shell lei is free, while the flower lei comes at a cost. We exchanged shell leis with each other. After that, we exchanged our vouchers for tickets and headed to the venue.

Once we arrived at the venue, soothing Hawaiian music was playing continuously. We waited at our seats until everyone was at their tables. Drinks are self-serve near the entrance. Adults can have beer or mai tais, while children only get red cranberry juice. My 10-year-old child was not allowed to have that. At the same time, there was an introduction to about five traditional games, where you could decorate your face and feet with stamps. Participation in these activities was optional.

Afterward, there was a hula dance lesson, and explanations about traditional dishes, such as meat wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, along with about 30 minutes of free time. Hawaiian music continued to play during this time. About an hour after entering, King Kamehameha finally arrived from the sea.

After that, it was finally time for dinner, but we had to go up to the buffet in order from the front tables. However, we couldn’t go up freely. They called each table, so we had to wait at least 30 minutes after the first table was called. My 10-year-old fell asleep without eating, despite being hungry, as it took a long time for our table to be called.

Desserts, coffee, and tea were available. Just when I thought we could return to our room after finishing our meal, the show finally began. The show featured Hawaiian dances and a fire show, which were quite good, but it took a considerable amount of time to get to the meal and to watch the show. You really need to have a relaxed mindset and plenty of time, or else you might end up feeling exhausted.

The Hawaiian music was very pleasant, and my two sons and husband dozed off, swaying their heads during the crucial part of the show. It ended at 8:30 PM. I think it’s a show more suited for adults. My 10-year-old ultimately didn’t wake up and managed to eat a packed meal of chicken nuggets, fries, white rice, and meat after we returned to the room. It’s a show aimed at older audiences rather than children.

コートヤードキングカメハメハホテルに宿泊してました。ショーはこのホテルで行われます。
１７:００集合でしたが、行くとロビー横の廊下に長蛇の列ができてました。
後のことも考えると受付には早くいくことをお勧めします。並ぶのが遅いと、後々食事時間に影響します。
特別料金を払うと前の方の席になり、あまり並ぶ必要もありません。
並ぶと順番に対応してくれますが、花のレイか貝殻のレイか聞かれます。貝殻は無料で花のレイ有料です。お互いに貝殻のレイをかけあいました。
その後バウチャーをチケットにかえ、入場する会場に向かいます。
会場につくとず～っとゆったりとしたハワイアンミュージックが演奏されています。全員がテーブルにつくまで、席に座って待ちます。飲み物は入口の近くに自分でとりにいきます。大人はビールやマイタイが提供され、子どもは赤いクランベリージュースのみです。１０歳の子供はそれがダメでした。それと同時に５種類くらいの昔の遊びや顔や足にスタンプのような飾りをつけたりと伝統的な昔の遊びの紹介があります。それに参加するかどうかは自由です。その後フラダンスのレッスンがあつたり、伝統的な料理、バナナの皮に肉を包んで蒸すなどの説明があったり、３０分くらいの自由な時間があります。その間もハワイアンミュージックがずっとかかってます。入場して一時間くらい経つとようやく海からカメハメハ大王が陸に上陸してきます。
それが終わるとようやく食事ですが、前方の席から順番によぱれ食事(ビュッフェ)を取りにいきます。でも自由には取りにいけないのです。テーブルごとによばれるので、とにかく最初のテーブルの人たちが呼ばれてからもさいてい３０分は待ちました。１０歳の子供は、ゆったりとしたミュージックと昼のシュノーケリングでとうとうご飯を食べずに寝てしまいました。お腹がへっているのに、なかなか順番は来ず、自分のテーブルの順番を待ってやっとご飯を食べました。
デザートコーヒー紅茶はあります。
御飯が食べ終わってもう部屋に帰ってもいいんじゃないのと思う頃にようやくショーが始まりました。ショーはハワイアンダンスにファイヤーショーがあったりなかなかよかったですが、とにかく食事にありつくのにも、ショーを見るのにも時間がかなりかかり、心と時間にかなりゆとりをもたないと、逆に疲れてしまいました。
ハワイアンミュージックはとても心地よく、息子二人と旦那もウトウト肝心のショーの時には、
頭が揺れてました。終わりは20:30。大人が参加するショーかなと思います。
１０歳の子供は結局起きず、何とかチキンナゲットとポテト、白ご飯とお肉だけをいただいたパックに詰め込んで、部屋に戻ってから食べました。
子どもより年配の方々向けのショーです。

マンタ大学夜学部　野生のマンタ＆ナイトシュノーケリングツアー ＜送迎可／日本語スタッフ乗船日あり＞

It became a great memory! いい思い出になりました！

Reviewed by: はじめてプーケット

On the day I participated, there were many mantas, and I was able to see them up close multiple times. I heard from the instructor that mantas are gentle creatures that are not poisonous and do not sting, but they are quite large and impressive. They swim slowly, allowing for a thorough observation of their mouths.

On the boat out to sea, we were able to see a beautiful sunset on the way there and a starry sky on the way back. Since mantas are wild, there's no guarantee they will appear on any given day, but just the boat ride itself is satisfying. Additionally, the instructor is Japanese, so the explanations are easy to understand and reassuring.

参加した日は、マンタがたくさん出てきてくれて、何度も間近で見ることができました。
インストラクターの方から、マンタは、毒もないし刺したりもしない優しい生物と聞いていましたが、体が大きく迫力満点です。ゆーっくり泳ぐので、口の中までじっくり観察できますよ。
沖に出るボートでは、行きは美しい夕日が見れて、帰りは満天の星空が見れます。マンタは野生なのでその日に出てきてくれるかは確約できないそうですが、行き帰りのボートだけでも満足できます。また、インストラクターが日本人なので、解説もわかりやすく安心です。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー　滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く！＜午前・午後／英語ガイド／食事付＞by フェアウィンド号

I managed to get by even without speaking English. 英語しゃべれなくてもなんとかなりました

Reviewed by: ひまわり

I can hardly speak English, but I decided to join the tour anyway! It was an afternoon tour.

Keauhou Bay felt like a hidden gem and had a bit of a mystical vibe. The water was very clear, and there were plenty of fish, but I felt that the quantity and variety were not much different from Kahalu'u Beach Park. For those who are used to snorkeling, it might feel a bit lacking.

The staff were friendly and kind. Even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy myself and it became a wonderful memory.

Below, I will outline the flow of the day. For those who also struggle with English, I hope this helps!

------------

First, upon arriving on the Big Island, I had to make a reconfirmation call, which was the biggest hurdle. You can find detailed information about reconfirmation on the VELTRA website.

Since I didn’t have a rental car that day, I walked from the Sheraton Hotel to the meeting point. It took about 5 minutes on foot.

When I handed over the voucher at the reception, there was a quick explanation in English. Looking back, I think they mentioned that the snorkeling masks would be provided before boarding, and the fins would be handed out on the boat.

There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us, which was reassuring.

We had to wait quite a while until the morning tour's boat returned and the preparations were finished. It was hot outside.

After that, the rental of snorkeling masks began. At some point, they gathered people for the SNUBA activity and had them sign a consent form, but I wasn't sure if those were people who had pre-registered or if they were recruiting on the spot. Once the English explanation before boarding was done, we got on the boat.

The view from the second floor of the boat was great, but it seemed tough in the sunny spots. The ride took over 30 minutes.

Along the way, we encountered 4 to 5 dolphins! The people in the front seats seemed to see them well, but since we were in the middle of the second floor, we only caught a glimpse of their fins.

Near the counter on the first floor, there were snacks like water, tropical juice, and a mix of rice crackers and pretzels available for us to take freely. There were also restrooms.

The staff came around to distribute the fins. We had our own, so we didn’t borrow any, but the staff kindly asked us, “Do you have fins?” to check on us.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, we could also borrow floaties and other flotation devices, so those who are unsure about swimming can feel safe. The depth was completely beyond our feet.

In addition to snorkeling, we could enjoy diving from the boat and using a slide. I think we had about an hour of free time.

During the return trip, there was a fruit service as a signal to head back to the boat.

I didn’t see anyone giving tips, so I wasn’t sure when to give one. Those who were experienced might have discreetly tipped without others noticing.

That’s all.

I think you can have a great time even if you don’t understand English, as long as you can keep yourself safe! For those who are going soon, enjoy your trip!

英語はほぼしゃべれないのですが思い切って参加しました！午後のツアーです。

ケアウホウ湾は秘境の地という感じがしてちょっと神秘的でした☆
水の透明度が高く魚もたくさんいましたが、カハルウビーチパークと量も種類もそんなに変わりなかったように感じます。慣れてる人だと物足りないかも？

スタッフの方は気さくで親切でした。言葉がわからないなりに楽しめてとても良い思い出になりました。

下記、当日の流れを書きます。同じように英語が苦手な方、よかったら参考にしてください♪

------------

まずハワイ島に到着したらリコンファームという到着確認の電話をしなければならず、これが一番ハードル高かったです。
リコンファームについてはVELTRAさんのサイトに詳しく書いてあります。

当日はレンタカーではなかったのでシェラトンホテルから集合場所まで歩きました。
徒歩5分です。

受付でバウチャーを渡すと英語でさらさらっと説明がありました。
後から考えるとシュノーケルマスクは乗船前、フィンは船で渡しますと言っていたと思います。

日本人は私達以外に1組だけいらっしゃったので心強かったです。

午前のツアーの船が戻って来て船内の準備が終わるまでけっこう待ちました。外なので暑いです。

その後シュノーケルマスクの貸出が始まりました。
途中でスヌーバをやる人を集めて同意書を書かせたりしていたようですが、あらかじめ申し込んでいた人なのかその場で募ったのかなわかりませんでした。
英語による乗船前の説明が済んだら乗り込みです。

船は二階だと見晴らしがいいですが日が当たる場所はキツそうでした。乗船時間は30分以上はあります。

途中でイルカ4～5頭に会いました！前の席の方たちはしっかり見れていたようですが、二階の真ん中の席だった私達は背びれが見れたくらいです。

１階のカウンター付近に水とトロピカルジュース、おかきやプレッツェルが混ざったスナックが置いてあり自由に取りに行く感じでした。トイレもあります。

フィンはスタッフの方が配りに来てくれます。
私達は自分のがあったので借りませんでしたが、スタッフさんが代わる代わる｢フィンはある？｣と気遣ってくれました。


スポットに着いたら浮き輪や体に巻く浮き具も借りられますので泳ぎが不安な方も安心です。足は全くつかない深さです。

シュノーケル以外にも、船からのダイブや滑り台で楽しむことができます。
自由時間は1時間くらいだったと思います。

終了の合図で船に戻り帰路についている間、フルーツのサービスがありました。


チップは渡している人を見かけなかったためタイミングがわからず渡していません。
慣れている方々は他の人にわからないようにスマートに渡していたのかもしれません。


以上です。

英語がわからなくても自分で安全を守れれば十分楽しめると思います！
これから行かれる方、楽しんできてくださいね♪

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック（ロイヤルコナリゾート内）＜月・火・水・金催行／ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

You can fully enjoy the Hawaiian mood. ハワイムードが満喫できます

Reviewed by: ひまわり

Everything was in English, but I enjoyed the atmosphere! The sunset sinking behind the palm trees, the cheerful host, Hawaiian music, and the Polynesian show created a full Hawaiian mood!

On the left side of the stage, there is an IMU oven, so if you're interested, sitting closer will give you a better view. However, after the meat is taken out, it does have a bit of a burnt smell.

For drinks, there were Mai Tais, juice, coffee, and tea. There seemed to be other alcoholic options, but I wasn't sure about them. The Mai Tai was a system where you fill a bowl with tropical juice and have the staff add rum. It was delicious even without the rum.

The food included oven-roasted pork, chicken, beef, and various vegetable dishes. It's nice to be able to try a little bit of different Hawaiian dishes. The Kona coffee cake was delicious!

The Polynesian dance wasn't exactly amazing, but since it was performed by locals, the atmosphere was nice, and the location was great, so I enjoyed it.

In the second half, there was a Hawaiian music time for a cheek dance. We just watched, but it was lovely to see an older couple from the West looking into each other's eyes and dancing or embracing.

I recommend this show for fully enjoying the feeling of being in Hawaii!

すべてが英語ですが、雰囲気で楽しめました♪
ヤシの木の後ろに沈んでく夕日、陽気な司会とハワイアンミュージック、ポリネシアンショーとハワイアンムード満点でした！

ステージに向かって左側にIMUオーブンがあるので、興味がある方は近い席の方が前で見られると思います。
ただお肉を取り出した後、まわりがちょっと焦げ臭いです。

飲み物はマイタイ、ジュースとコーヒー紅茶がありました。他のアルコールもあったみたいですが、よくわからなかったです。
マイタイはボウルに入っているトロピカルジュースを自分で入れ、スタッフの方にラムを入れてもらうシステムでした。
ラムなしでも美味しかったです。

食べ物はオーブンで焼いた豚肉の他チキンもビーフもあり、野菜料理も色々とありました。
色々なハワイ料理を少しずつ食べられるのが良いです。
コナコーヒーのケーキが美味しかったです♪

ポリネシアンダンスは正直すごい！というほどではなかったのですが、本場の方なので雰囲気があり、ロケーションもよかったので楽しめました。

後半ハワイアンミュージックでチークダンスタイムがありました。
私達はただ見てましたが、欧米の老夫婦が見つめあって踊ったり抱き合ったりする様子はとても素敵でした☆*。

ハワイに来たー！という気分を満喫するのにおすすめのショーです。

ハワイ島　ハイキング＆オフロードドライブ　滝遊びもあり ＜1日／昼食付／英語ガイド＞

The content was wonderful. 内容は素晴らしかった

Reviewed by: RIKA

This time, we had made a reservation for a family of four, but only one reservation was found. Since it wasn't specified whether the meeting place was the lower lobby or the main lobby, I asked the person at the tour desk, and that’s how I found out. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t checked in advance. It was a bit surprising. The optional content was good, so it's a shame. However, I do think that people who are proficient in English will enjoy it more.

今回、四人家族で予約していたのですが、１人分しか予約が入っていませんでした。
待ち合わせ場所がロウアーロビーかメインロビーか書いてなかったので、今回のツアーのデスクの人に聞いてもらったところ、それが判明しました。
事前に確認しなかったらどうなっていたか。
ちょっとびっくりです。
オプショナルの内容は良かったので残念です。
ただ、やはり英語が堪能な人の方がより楽しめると思います。

Voyagers of the Pacific Luau Review

Reviewed by: Family traveler

We originally arrived on a Friday to see the show, but shortly after we started the meal,we were completely rained out. That was very disappointing and upsetting that we weren't forewarned by email about the strong possibility of rain, as we had come over from Hilo for the luau. However, we received a rain check for another luau on the following Monday. Fortunately, we were able to rearrange our schedule to come before flying home. The Monday night luau was lovely - entertainment and emcee were fantastic all around. Food was good, not great. Service was okay. Location was beautiful.

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Horseback riding in nature is the best! However... 大自然の中での乗馬は最高！ ですが…

Reviewed by: タケのコ

I rode a horse for an hour and a half in the great outdoors of Waipi'o Valley. I truly enjoyed it. However, I believe that a certain level of intermediate English proficiency is absolutely necessary for this tour, as you need to understand natural-speed English and be able to express yourself clearly in English.

I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early and wasn't sure where the check-in area was, so I asked in English if check-in was necessary, but the answer was NO. Just before the time, I asked another Japanese tour participant, who told me that the check-in was done at the back, so I hurried to complete the process. Then, I was scolded for being too slow in English.

Up until a certain point after the tour started, everything was going well and I was having fun, but my wife's horse got startled and began to act up after bumping into the horse behind it, causing a rodeo-like situation, and my wife was almost in tears. Even then, she was reprimanded for her riding style.

I think it's a tour that potential participants should consider the risk that even an amateur riding normally could lead to a horse acting up. While I was very satisfied with the content of the tour, my wife felt very scared and uncomfortable. I wish she could have expressed in English that it wasn't her fault when the horse started acting up...

If nothing happens, you can enjoy it by following along, but I want everyone to be aware of the risks mentioned. The only time we received a smile was when they were accepting tips...

ワイピオ渓谷の大自然の中を馬に乗って、１時間半。本当に堪能させてもらいました。
が、このツアーはナチュラルスピードの英語が聞き取れ、しっかりと英語で意思表示できるくらいの中級英語力は絶対必要なツアーだと思いました。
30分前に集合場所に到着し、受付場所がよくわからないのでチェックインは必要なのか？頑張って英語で聞いたところ、NO。時間ギリギリで別の日本人ツアー参加者に聞いたところ、奥で手続しましたと言われ慌てて手続き。すると、英語であまりにも遅いとケンカ腰でまくしたてられました。
ツアーが始まってから途中までは何事もなく、楽しく過ごしていたのですが、妻の馬が後ろの馬にぶつかられて驚き暴れだしてロデオ状態になり、妻は半泣き状態になりましたが、ここでも妻の乗り方が悪いと叱責する始末。
素人が普通に乗って馬が暴れるようなリスクが一定の可能性であることも、頭に入れて申込みを検討された方がいいと思うツアーです。
ツアーの内容自体は大満足でしたが、妻はとても怖く、不快な思いをしました。せめて馬が暴れだしたのは自分のせいじゃないとしっかり英語で話せたらとも…
何もなければ、見よう見まねで楽しめますが、記載したリスクがあることは皆さんにお伝えしたいと思います。チップを受け取るときだけでしたよ、我々に笑顔だったのは…

The guides were lovely and we saw dolphins! It could not have been more fun. We went as a family with my 60-year old parents and my 7-year old son. All had fun. There was snorkeling in a lovely cove, along with cliff diving and fresh pineapple. The only thing I wished I'd known was that we don't actually take the boats on shore for picnic time. My mom wasn't wanting to swim so ended up hanging out in the kayak. She still had fun watching the dolphins and cliff diving, though. I highly recommend the experience.

I signed up for the helicopter tour because I wanted to take in the expansive views of the Big Island and see the flowing lava.

Additionally, I could view areas that are difficult to reach by car, such as Hilo and the northern mountainous regions and waterfalls, from the air.

Although it is expensive, it was a satisfying sightseeing flight.

Reviewed by: Hitomi

It seems I misunderstood the content when I made the reservation. I thought I would have a longer time with the dolphins, but that wasn't the case. First, we went snorkeling in the lagoon at the hotel, and then we did the Dolphin Quest. Given the price, I kind of regret not just opting for the Dolphin Quest. The snorkeling itself wasn't boring, but the price is definitely an issue. My child didn't understand English, so they had trouble following the guide's instructions. The guide also didn't seem very cheerful, so it might be a matter of luck with the staff.

ちょっと内容を勘違いして申し込んでいたようです。いるかと一緒にいられる時間が長いのかと思っていましたがそうではなく、まずホテル内のラグーンでシュノーケリングをして、その後がドルフィンクエストでした。この値段ならドルフィンクエストだけのものにすればよかったかなとちょっと後悔。シュノーケリング自体はつまらないわけではありませんでしたが、やっぱりお値段が問題ですね。こどもは英語がわからないのでガイドさんの指示がわからず困っていました。ガイドさんもあまり楽しい感じの人ではなかったので、当たり外れの問題もあるのかもしれません。

It was an incredibly exciting tour. It was my first time riding in a helicopter, and without a door, no less!

I would love to ride again if I have the chance.

ワイピオ渓谷　乗馬ツアー　絶景のなかを気軽に乗馬体験 ＜午前・午後／英語ガイド＞ by ナアラパ・ステーブルズ

Enjoying horseback riding and the scenery! 乗馬と景色を堪能！

Reviewed by: Mie

It takes about an hour and a half by car from Kailua-Kona to the meeting point, and I arrived without getting lost thanks to the map. We took the shop's van down the steep slopes of Waipi'o Valley to reach the starting point for horseback riding. Along the course, we crossed rivers, saw several waterfalls, and observed wild plants and fruits growing along the side paths. The horses were calm, and I never felt in danger as we enjoyed a fun hour and a half. This is a highly recommended tour that takes you to places that are not easily accessible on foot.

カイルアコナから集合場所まで車で約1時間半、地図を頼りに迷うことなく到着。お店のバンでワイピオ渓谷の急坂を下り乗馬のスタート地点に到着。コースの途中では川を渡ったり、幾つかの滝を見たり、脇道に自生する植物や果物を見たりしながら進みます。馬も大人しく、危険を感じることもなくあっという間に楽しい1時間半ほどが過ぎてします。歩いては簡単に行けないところへ行けるお勧めのツアーです。

Kohala Canopy Zipline Adventure on the Big Island - Aerial Sky Bridges and Optional Waterfall Swim

The canopy zipline rocked!

Reviewed by: K.L.M.

My entire family had a blast zip lining through the tree canopies! Chris and Cassie were our guides and they were hospitable, informative and patient. It was our first time zip lining in such an environment-hundreds of feet in the air and we felt completely comfortable and confident in their hands. They provided us with water and snacks midway and at the conclusion of our adventure, including freshly picked bananas! They shared knowledge about the vegetation and geographical landmarks, as well as, insight into local eateries! Not only did we enjoy the various zip lines, but there were also suspension bridges and a final rappel to the ground. You also get to ride in a really cool armory jeep of some sort as you travel to and from the excursion. It surpassed our expectations and we were so glad to have chosen that adventure during our travels on The Big Island.

Oceanfront Royal Kona Resort Luau Voyagers of the Pacific Show - Dinner, Drinks & Fire Knife Dance

Great performance

Reviewed by: BeePos

Talented and great looking actors, musicians and hostess. The food was high quality. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the Mai Tais. They were mainly juice, super sweet and head-ache inducing. The bar closed much earlier than dinner ended, so I couldn't take advantage of the open bar. Another thing that didn't seem fair is that teenagers paid the same as adults. And of course they weren't drinking...

Naalapa Stables Kohala Horseback Riding Tour on Kahua Ranch

Great horses, magnificent ranch

Reviewed by: BeePos

The horses were really well trained, no skill was required to ride them. We had a couple of chances to canter, but due to the different skill levels of the riders, we only cantered for only a couple of minutes total. One lady lost her cellphone during the canter and we all had to stop while the guides looked for it in the tall grass. They weren't able to find it and we lost some time and further opportunities to canter. The views from our trail were amazing, and it was a great way to spend a morning. If we could've split up according to skill level so who wanted to go faster could, as there were 3 guides to about 6-8 riders, then I would've given it 5 stars.
