I especially recommend the staff at Kinkame Hotel!! キンカメホテルの人は特にオススメ！！

Reviewed by: サカマイ

Since I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel, I had no travel time at all. I wasn't sure where the reception was and got a little lost, but I saw a line forming, so I joined it. While waiting, I was asked if I wanted to buy a lei and had the chance to take some photos.

After checking in, I went to the venue next to the beach and made my way to my seat with a drink in hand. The Mai Tai was really delicious. I ordered various drinks and enjoyed them. The staff guided us to our seats as we arrived. Once seated, I chatted with the people next to me and across from me while waiting for the show to start. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but everyone was kind and spoke to me.

The show was entirely in English, but it was enjoyable to watch, so I found it interesting. It was an impressive performance.

However... since it was outdoors, there was a downpour, and I received a raincoat from the staff to watch the show. The show proceeded as scheduled despite the rain. Even in the downpour, I laughed with those around me, saying, "Wow, the rain is intense!" This became a good memory.

The food was delicious, especially the meat, taro, and poke. I think it's better to take a lot at once so you can enjoy the show at a leisurely pace. There are many types of drinks, so I believe you'll find a favorite.

I think this Hawaiian show offers an experience of "Hawaii" that you can't find on Oahu.

I would love to participate again if I stay at the King Kamehameha Hotel.

キングカメハメハホテルに泊まって参加だったため、移動時間がまったくありません。
受付の場所がわからず、少し迷ってしまいましたが行列ができていたので並びました。並んでいる間はレイを購入するか聞かれたり、写真をとったりしながら並びます。
受付後、ビーチ横にある会場に行き、ドリンクを片手に席まで行きます。マイタイがとってもおいしかったです。いろいろなドリンクを注文してたくさん飲みました。席は来た人から係の人が案内してくれます。席に着くと隣の人や向かいに座っている外国の方と話しながらショーを始まるのを待ちます。英語があまり話せないので不安でしたが、皆さん優しく話してくれました。
ショーはすべて英語ですが、見て楽しめるので面白かったです。
迫力のあるショーです。

しかし。。。
野外の為、スコールになってしまい、係の人にカッパをもらってショーを見ました。
ショーは雨天決行の為、普通にショーは進みます。
スコールでも周りの人と「雨すごいね」と笑いながら見ました。
これも良い思い出です。

食事もおいしく、お肉、タロイモ、ポケがとてもおいしかったです。
一回でたくさん取ったほうがゆっくりショーが見れますので良いと思います。
飲み物もたくさん種類がありますので好みのお酒が見つかると思います。


オワフ島では味わえない『ハワイ』が体験できるハワイアンショーだと思います。

またキングカメハメハホテルに泊まったら参加したいです。

Kink Kamehameha Dinner Show キンクカメハメハ内ディナーショー

Reviewed by: マミマミ

I was excited for my first dinner show, and I’ve lost track of how many days I’ve been in Hawaii. Being here makes me forget the days of the week and the date. I’m looking forward to the dinner show, which I’m seeing for the first time. The hula dancing was impressive; I can’t believe how much they can move their hips! Everyone was beautiful and wonderful, and the male dancer who used fire was great. Seeing the fire drop live was a fresh experience.

However, the disappointing part was that I couldn’t understand English, so I didn’t know what the host was saying. The meal was rushed, and the drinks ended quickly, leaving me unsatisfied. It’s a shame! I had higher expectations, and I wish they could improve that aspect of the dinner show. After the show, I took photos with the dancers, which was a nice memory.

I’m thinking of traveling again to see another dinner show. I have many memories from my time in Hawaii, and one of them is the dinner show. Next time, I want to study a bit more English so that I can understand the host’s talk better!

初めてのディナーショーワクワク、ハワイも何日目かなぁ〜、ここに居ると曜日も日にちも忘れてしまう。ディナーショー楽しみ、初めて見る。フラダンス、よくあれだけ腰が動くなと感心‼︎みんな綺麗で素敵でした、炎を使った男性良かった、炎を落としたところも、生で見たからわかるこのであって、新鮮でした。でも残念なことは…英語がわからなくて、司会の方がなにを言ってるか分からなかった。そして、食事、慌ただしく食べた、飲み物も、早く終わり、物足りなかった。残念‼︎もっと期待して居ただけに、ディナーショーってこんなもの、その辺を何とかしてもらいたい 。ディナーショーが終わって、ダンサーの方と写真を知りました。これも、思い出 （＾∇＾）また旅行してディナーショー見に行こうと思います。ハワイでの思い出いろいろあります。その中のひとつがディナーショー、今度は英語がもぅ少し分かるくらい勉強して、司会の方のトークが理解できるくらいになりたい〜(*^_^*)

It was a fun show! 楽しいshowでした！

Reviewed by: yano

On our last night in Hawaii, we decided to go to a luau. It was our first time, and I'm glad we went. We walked from a nearby hotel, and it's conveniently located in the town. We arrived early, and even 30 minutes before check-in, there was quite a line (the line is divided into one for extra fee and one for regular; if you arrive early for the regular line, you can get seats that are almost the same as the extra fee ones). There were hardly any Japanese people, possibly because the entire event was in English, and it seemed like most attendees were from the mainland and India. Although my child doesn't understand English, they enjoyed various experiences, starting with the shell lei received upon entry, the vibrant show, delicious food, and activities like making fish from coconut leaves and getting temporary tattoo-like stamps on their body. The show featured not only Hawaiian hula but also dances from various Polynesian islands, which felt quite impressive, and we enjoyed it nonetheless.

ハワイ島最後の夜はルアウに行こうと決めていました。初めてでしたが、行って良かったです。近くの別のホテルから徒歩で行きましたが、町中の便利な場所です。早めに行って、受付スタートの30分前でもかなりの行列でした（extra feeを払う列とregularの列に分かれて並びます。regularでも早めに行けば、extraとほとんど変わらない席に座れます）。全編英語のためか日本の方はほとんどいなくて、mainlandとIndiaからの方々が多かったようです。子どもは英語はわかりませんが、入るときにいただく貝殻のLeiに始まり、華やかなshowや美味しいお料理、そして、Hulaやcoconut leafでお魚を作る体験、体にtatoo風のスタンプを押してもらう体験などいろいろ楽しんでいました。ShowはHawaiian Hulaだけでなく、ポリネシアのいろんな島々の踊りがあって、かなりshow up された感じは受けましたが、それはそれで楽しめました。

Great time for kids and adults

Reviewed by: Trishspirit

I attended the luau as a reluctant adult. I booked the luau so that my 12 year old goddaughter would see Pacific Island dances and experience some Hawaiian and South Pacific culture. It was way beyond my expectations! Of course it is touristy, but it is also a good overview of Pacific culture, dance, music and food. I also liked the light-heartedness of the event and it was super educational for my goddaughter. The food was much better than I expected and the activities were fun for both my 12 year old and myself. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

The best fun we had during our trip to Kona.

Reviewed by: From San Diego

I told friend of mine that I was going to be in Kona with my family and he highly recommended that I take Captain cooks dinner cruise. He couldn't remember the actual name of the dinner cruise but with this info I googled it and found it. I was skeptical at first about going on the three hour cruise because we were a huge party of 12 women, children and one man (me), but let me tell you, it was the funnest event of our entire 10 days in Kona. For the most part people seem to be nice and easy-going on the Big Island, but the entire crew of the boat - from the "captain" to the bartender - where the coolest, nicest, and funniest people we met on our entire trip to the Big Island. They really bend over backwards to make you feel at home and they definitely keep you entertained with an interesting historical overview of the Hawaiian Islands given by a Hawaiian storyteller, as well as by a great musical performance given by a talented and recognized young music artist. I highly recommend this dinner cruise for anybody wishing to have a great time in Kona!

Paradise Helicopters - Volcano, Lava & Waterfalls Flight from Hilo

The only way to see lava

Reviewed by: Pilot01

This is exactly as described, a 40 minute helicopter tour of the volcanoes on the eastern side of the island of Hawaii and the area around Hilo. The staff are very friendly and the entire operation is well run and safety oriented. Our pilot Joyce was informative and did a great job of piloting so that everyone on both sides of the helicopter got good views of everything. Considering that there are no active lava flows at the current time. This is the only way to see molten lava. While it is through "sky lights" looking down into lava tubes, it is still quite exciting to see the bright pink/orange glow of lava.

The helicopter company offers the option to fly with the doors off the helicopter. I would recommend this for optimum viewing and picture taking. However, be aware that it is pretty chilly with the doors off and make sure to wear a warm jacket.

As a final note, when booking a helicopter tour, be aware that there are two airports on the island (Hilo and Kona). Make certain that you are booking a tour from the airport that is on your side of the island. I made a mistake and booked a tour out of the wrong airport. It was completely my fault and I did not realize my mistake until the day before the tour. The folks at Veltra and at the helicopter company went out of their way to get us booked on this tour at the last minute. They also worked hard to find someone else to take our seats on the tour that I had originally booked. They were only able to fill one of the two seats that I had booked, but at least they were kind enough to refund that portion of the fee.

Experiential luau. 体験型ルアウ。

Reviewed by: Saeko

It's not just about watching the show and eating Hawaiian food at the buffet; activities before the show and meal, such as hula, poi ball, lei making, and tattoos, are also enjoyable. It feels like you can experience Hawaiian culture with all your senses. However, everything is in English (and spoken very quickly), and there are very few Japanese guests. If you want to fully enjoy the luau, I, with my middle school level English skills, struggled to keep up. Ah, I wish I had better English skills!

ショーを観て、ビュッフェでハワイアンフードを食べて〜というだけではなく、フラ、ポイボール、レイメイキング、タトゥー等々、ショーや食事の前のアクティビティーが楽しい。ハワイの文化を五感で体験できるといった感じ。ただやはり全て英語（しかも超早口）、日本人のお客さんもとても少ない。ルアウをフルに楽しもうと思ったら、英語力中学生レベルの私は、ついて行くのに精一杯でした。あぁぁ英語力が欲しい！

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

Hawaii Island is huge! ハワイ島でかい！

Reviewed by: Ｆｏｒｅｓ．Ａ

As a precondition, I have a TOEIC score in the 300s, and this is my first self-arranged overseas trip (I've traveled abroad three times). Initially, I had booked a "Helicopter Tour with a Japanese Pilot" from another company, but I switched to this one because I was informed that a Japanese pilot was unavailable. Fortunately, I was assigned a Japanese pilot here.

To conclude, I was very satisfied. I'm glad I had the courage to choose the helicopter. I took the tour to see Kilauea Volcano, but I was impressed by the North Waipi'o Valley and the surrounding table mountain-like terrain. Kilauea has been in a state of calm since around 2013, so I couldn't see any eruptions. I chose the helicopter tour thinking I could still see lava even in a calm state, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

It's also nice that hotel pick-up is included depending on the plan. Arranging a taxi can be quite challenging for someone who doesn't speak English...

As a note, the only person who speaks Japanese is the pilot. The pick-up driver and the reception staff do not understand it at all. Still, I managed to communicate with gestures and my voucher. If you can speak English, you would probably enjoy it even more.

Before boarding the helicopter, you need to check in your luggage, so it's better to take out your camera and gum (for motion sickness). I think they asked in English if I had taken out my camera, which I understood, but I didn't grasp the intention and ended up forgetting to take out the gum.

After returning, I was able to take a commemorative photo with the pilot. It makes for a great memory.

前提条件として、私はTOEIC300点台で、自分手配の海外旅行初めてです（海外は３回目）。
当初、別会社の「日本語パイロットと行く～ヘリツアー」を予約していたのですが、日本人パイロットの都合が付かないと連絡があったのでこちらに切り替えました。こちらは幸運にも日本語パイロットに割り当ててもらえました。

結論から言うと、とても満足しました。勇気を出してヘリコプターにして良かったです。
キラウエア火山目的で乗りましたが、北部ワイピオ渓谷や、その周辺のテーブルマウンテン？状の地形に感動しました。キラウエアは2013年ごろから小康状態なので、噴火しているような場面は見れません。そう思って小康状態でも溶岩を見ることの出来るヘリを選択しましたが、嬉しい誤算でした。

こちらは、プランによってホテル送迎が付いているのも嬉しいです。
タクシー手配も、英語できない人間には難易度が高いので・・・。

注意として、日本語が通じるのは（日本語可能な）パイロットさんだけ。送迎運転手や、フロア受付の方には一切通じません。それでも、バウチャーもって身振り手振りで何とかなります（なりました）。英語ができれば私よりももっと楽しめるでしょう。
ヘリに乗る前に手荷物を預けるので、カメラやガム（酔い止め）は出しておいた方が良いです。（英語で、カメラは出したか？と聞いていたようで、それは分かったのですが、意図がわからず、ガム出しそびれました。）

帰着した後に、パイロットとの記念撮影を撮ってもらえました。
良い記念になります。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

There is a sense of security with the large ship. 大型船の安心感があります

Reviewed by: Kazuya

I was looking for a tour to swim with dolphins on the Big Island and narrowed it down to two options: ① a small boat tour with about six people (no restroom, no shower, some snacks provided, possibly swimming close to dolphins) or ② a large boat (with restroom, shower, breakfast and lunch included, able to see dolphins but not swim with them). When I asked my kids, they preferred the large boat with a slide (more interested in that than the dolphins... haha), and considering my wife's health, I thought it would be better to choose the tour with the restroom, so I went with option ②.

In fact, two years ago, when I participated in a tour with Quicksilver in Cairns, Australia, the large boat had a buffet for lunch and was equipped with restrooms and changing rooms, making it very comfortable, so I chose a similar type this time as well. The departure location was a bit far from the office and unclear, but when I first went to the departure point and asked a crew member near the boat, they kindly guided me, allowing me to find the office and park the car successfully.

When I got close to the boat, the check-in was smooth, and we boarded. The boat was not as large as the one from Quicksilver in Australia, with six booth-style seats like those in a family restaurant, and there were bench seats back-to-back in the central area on the second floor, which had a roof, while the outer bench seats were exposed to the sun. By the way, for those prone to seasickness, the first-floor seats are recommended as they experience less rocking.

Since we had an early morning meeting, there was a simple breakfast buffet where we could eat as much as we wanted, including fruit. Also, I had accidentally submerged my waterproof camera the day before, so I rented a digital camera (GoPro) for about $30 with an 8GB SD card and chip. I think it’s much better than the waterproof disposable camera... I tried both, but the photos included here are from the GoPro.

Unlike the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, we didn’t go out far into the ocean but progressed along the coast. Therefore, we were on the boat for about 30 to 40 minutes. When we arrived, the staff distributed snorkeling masks, and the fins were located under the seats on the first floor, so we were told to choose ones that fit our foot size. The water was deep enough for diving, so I borrowed a life jacket (the staff will lend it to you if you ask; you can just gesture to indicate what you need... haha).

When I went to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia around the same time, the seawater was a bit cold, and I borrowed a wetsuit (to prevent jellyfish stings), but this time it wasn’t necessary (there were no jellyfish). The visibility was incredible, and I could see all the way down. It was beautiful.

We swam freely around the boat and slid down the slide from the second floor (the slide ends around the first floor, and you drop into the water from about one floor high). My third-grade son enjoyed it. The adults also had fun. Even without the slide, you could jump in from the second floor where there were no railings.

Around lunchtime, they started a BBQ on the deck, and we had a buffet-style meal centered around hamburgers. During this time, we had free time to eat or play until the departure time.

On the way back, we encountered a pod of dolphins that swam alongside the boat and jumped around. I think we were very fortunate with the weather. I did feel a bit seasick during the trip, but since it was a large boat, I could lie down in my seat the whole time, so I was glad it wasn’t a small boat.

By the way, we were the only Japanese on this tour. Even though we came all the way to Hawaii, it felt a bit lonely to be surrounded by only Japanese people, so I chose this tour, but thanks to that, I was able to make friends with an American who came from Los Angeles.

Since I got seasick this time, I rated it four stars, but the tour itself was great.

ハワイ島でイルカと一緒に泳ぐツアーに参加しようと探していたところ、2つに絞られ、①6名程度の小型ボート（トイレなし、シャワーなし、スナック程度付、イルカの近くで泳げるかも）でのツアーか、②大型船（トイレ、シャワーあり、朝食・昼食付、イルカを見れるけど一緒には泳げない）になりました。
子どもたちに尋ねたところ船にスライダーがついている②大型船を希望し（イルカよりもそっちか…笑）、妻の体調のことも考えるとトイレが完備されているツアーの方がいいかと思い、②を選びました。
実際、2年前にオーストラリアのケアンズでクイックシルバー社のツアーに参加した時、大型船で昼食にビュッフェがあったり、トイレ・更衣室等完備されていたので、大変快適だったので、今回もそのようなタイプを選びました。
出発場所から若干事務所が離れていてよくわからなく、最初に出発場所に行って船の近くにいるクルーに尋ねたら親切に教えてくれたので、事務所を無事に見つけ、車を駐車することができました。
船の近くに行くと受付が行われていて、スムーズに済み、乗船。
オーストラリアのクイックシルバー社の船ほどの大きさはなく、ファミレスのボックスシートのような席が6か所、あとは二階席で中央側にベンチシートが背中合わせであり、そこには屋根があり、外側のベンチシートは日が当たるような状態でした。ちなみに船酔いしやすい人は1階席の方が揺れが少ないのでお勧めです。
朝早くの集合のため、簡単な朝食バイキングがあり、フルーツを含め好きなだけ食べることができました。また前日に防水カメラの内部に浸水させて故障させてしまったので、デジタルカメラ（GoPro）を借りました（8GBのSDカードとチップを入れて30ドル程度だったかな。防水タイプの写るんですよりは全然いいかと思います…両方試してみましたが。今回掲載している写真は、GoProのものです）
オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフとは違い沖に出ず、岸に沿って進んでいきます。そのため30分か40分程度船に乗るくらいです。
到着する頃になると、スタッフがシュノーケルのマスクを配ってくれ、フィンは1階のシート下にあるので、自分の足のサイズに合うものを選んで使ってくれということでした。ダイビングもできるくらいの深さのところなので、ライフジャケットを借り（スタッフに言えば貸してくれます。というか、置いてあるものを手で持って、ジェスチャーで示すだけでもわかってもらえます…笑）
オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフに同じ時期に行った時は、海水がやや冷たく、ウェットスーツを借りましたが（クラゲ防止も含めて）、今回は不要でした（クラゲもおらず）。
透明度がすごくて、思いっきり下まで見えました。綺麗です。
船の周辺を好き勝手に泳いだり、2階からスライダーで滑り下りて（1階くらいでスライダーがなくなり、残り1階分くらいの高さから）、水中に落ちる。小3の息子は楽しんでいました。外国人は大人も楽しんでいました。スライダーでなくても2階の手すりのないところから飛びこむこともできます。
昼食頃になるとデッキでBBQをやり始め、ハンバーガーを中心としたバイキング形式の食事になります。
この辺りは食べようが遊ぼうが出発時間までは自由時間です。
帰り道でイルカの群れに遭遇し、船と並走して、ジャンプしたりしてくれました。
天気にも恵まれて大変よかったと思います。
途中船酔い状態になりましたが、やはり大型船だったため、ずっとシートで横になっていることができたので、小型ボートでなくてよかったと思いました。
ちなみにこのツアーですが日本人はうちだけでした。せっかくハワイまで来たのに、周りが日本人ばかりというのもちょっと寂しいので、そのようなツアーにしましたが、お陰でロスから来られたアメリカ人の方と仲良くすることができました。
今回酔ってしまったので、星4つとしましたが、ツアー自体はいいものです。

Kona Sunset Dinner Cruise to Kealakekua Bay with Live Entertainment | Body Glove

Great Food and cruise on a decent boat

Reviewed by: Justin

My girlfriend and I went on this cruise on Valentines Day and were very happy. We very much enjoyed the food and the cruise itself. There was a wonderful woman giving information on the history of the island and a muscian playing great music. The only thing that keeps me from giving 5 stars is the boat is not ideal for a romantic cruise. Its just kinda a boat, nothing very nice about it. Overall we were satisfied and felt like we had a great valentines for the money we spent.

Nice cruise

Reviewed by: Sandy

The cruise was nice, we saw plenty of whales surfacing for air. took some great videos. figure out of you get seasick and be properly equipt. The crew were great and the captain was very knowledgeable. He gave a great talk on the island, whales, and any question people were curious about.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズ 　2階建てカタマラン船に乗って壮大なクジラの姿を観察！＜12～3月／軽食付き／英語ガイド／カイルアコナ発＞

Whale! クジラ！

Reviewed by: ちっち

The pickup was at the hotel at 9:55 AM. We arrived at the port by 10:30 AM, but after being dropped off at the port, there was no explanation, and the car disappeared. I tried to find the Bodyglobe boat but couldn't locate it. When I asked people around, they said the check-in was at 12:30 PM.

The gap between the pickup time and the check-in time was too wide, which was a problem. As for the whales, I was able to see them, but only a small tail far away... (>_<) It was disappointing, but I did get to see a pod of dolphins on the way back, and we were able to stay on the boat for nearly three hours. While it lacked excitement, it was lucky to see both the whales and the dolphins! The fruit was delicious too!

ピックアップが、ホテルに09時55分でした。港には10時半にはつきましたが、港に降ろされて何も説明なく、車はいなくなってしまい、bodyglobeの船を探したが、見つかりません。周りの人に聞いてみると、12時半チェックインとのこと。
ピックアップ時間と、チェックイン時間に差があり過ぎて困ります。
肝心のクジラは、きちんと見ることが出来ましたが、とても遠くに小さなしっぽだけ…(>_<)残念でしたが、イルカの群れが帰り際に見れたことと、三時間近く船に乗ることが出来ました。迫力は足りなかったけど、クジラとイルカの群れが見れたのはlucky！でした。果物も美味しかった！
