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＞

Under the starry sky 星空の下

Reviewed by: あんじー

For seating, you will be guided in the order you arrive, so after exchanging your tickets at the desk, it's best to line up in front of the outdoor luau venue where the sign is displayed. The line quickly got long while we were waiting. (There are two types of lines: regular seating and Hānai seating.)

The dances include Hawaiian, Tahitian, Māori, and Samoan, among others. Unfortunately, after being guided to our seats, there was no information provided about activities. I thought there might be an announcement after guiding us to the more expensive Hānai seating, but there wasn't, and by the time I went to check, it was already nearing the end, so I couldn't participate in the hula lesson or the palm leaf craft (meanwhile, something was happening on stage).

However, the show under the starry sky was very enjoyable, and the food was quite delicious.

席ですが並んだ順に案内されるので、デスクでチケット引き換え後に屋外のルアウ会場前のプレートが出ているところに並ぶといいです。並んでいるとあっという間に列が長くなっていました。
（通常席と、ハノハノ席の2種類の列があります）。
ダンスはハワイアン、タヒチアン、マオリ、サモアなど一通りあります。
残念だったのは、席に案内後に特にアクティビティの案内が無かったことです。先に料金が高いハノハノ席を案内したあとにあるのかな？と思っていたのですが結局無く、様子を見に行った頃にはもう終わりがけでフラレッスンにも、ヤシの葉クラフトにも参加できませんでした（この間もステージでは何かやっています）。
でも星空の下でのショーはとても気持ちのいいものでした。お料理もけっこうおいしかったです。

The luau show right in front of me. 目の前で見るルアウショー

Reviewed by: ウッチー

For our family's last dinner on the trip, we enjoyed a luau show. Compared to the evening show at the Polynesian Cultural Center that we had seen before, this show was smaller and more compact, but we enjoyed the powerful dances right in front of us. The food was also surprisingly delicious, and we were very satisfied. There were several newlywed couples from the UK and the US who were enjoying the dance as introduced by the host. The Western audience was really responsive to the host's calls, and it made me feel that I want to improve my English communication skills.

This time, we drove from our hotel in South Kohala to Kailua-Kona, parked at a shopping center, and after strolling around downtown Kona, we watched the luau show. I was relieved that we didn't get lost and were able to participate.

家族旅行の最後の夕食で、ルアウショーを楽しみました。以前に見たポリネシア文化センターのイブニングショーと比べ、少人数でコンパクトなショーでしたが、舞台が目前にあって迫力ある踊りを楽しみました。また、食事も期待以上においしく食べることができ満足しました。英米圏の新婚カップルが何組か来ており、司会者の紹介でダンスを楽しんでいました。欧米の人は、本当に楽しそうに逐一司会者の呼びかけの反応しており、自分ももっと英語のコミュニケーションが取れるようになりたいと感じました。
今回は、サウスコハラのホテルから、レンタカーでカイルアコナへ出かけ、ショッピングセンターの駐車場に車を置いて、コナ街中を散策した後、ルアウショーを見ました。道に迷うこともなく、参加することができほっとしました。

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＞

Experience the powerful threat of Kilauea. キラウエアの脅威のパワーを実感

Reviewed by: MARUKO

We participated as a family of four (with children aged 2 and 0). The seating is assigned by the pilot based on the weight of all passengers to maintain the stability of the helicopter, so there’s no guarantee you’ll get a window seat. The pilot speaks in English, so you’ll understand the names of the areas, but if you’re not confident in English, just enjoy the scenery. The ride is smooth, with hardly any turbulence.

The lava flow varies in volume and direction depending on the day, so whether you get to see a spectacular lava flow is a matter of luck. The biggest appeal of the helicopter is that it can get very close to areas that are absolutely inaccessible from land, which is a different level of excitement compared to a Cessna.

If you decide to participate, I recommend going in the morning when the weather is relatively stable, as it tends to rain in the afternoon in Hilo. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Mauna Loa up close and Mt. Mauna Kea in the distance.

During the flight, the scenery and our moments are filmed by the helicopter's onboard camera, and you can purchase the DVD afterward as a travel memory (around $25). This is an experience you can't have in Japan, so if you're staying on the Big Island, definitely give it a try. (However, I wouldn’t recommend bringing a 0-year-old along...)

家族4人（子供2歳・0歳の）で参加しました。座席はパイロットがヘリの安定を保つため全搭乗者の体重を考えて指定されるので窓側に座れるとは限りません。
　パイロットの話す言語は英語なので、各エリアの名前程度は分かりますが英語が苦手な方は景色を楽しんで下さい。乗り心地は良く、揺れもほとんどありません。
　ラバフローは日によって流れ出る量や方角が異なるので、迫力あるラバフローが見られるかどうかは運次第です。
　ヘリの最大の魅力は陸上からは絶対に近づけないエリアに低高度でかなり至近距離に迫れるので、セスナ機とでは迫力が違います。
　参加するなら天候の比較的安定している午前中のなるべく早い時間帯がおすすめです。ヒロは多雨地帯なので午後は雨に降られる確立が高いとのことです。快晴だと、間近にMt.マウナロアを、遠くにMt．マウナケアを見ることができます。
　飛行中の景色や自分達の様子はヘリ搭載のビデをカメラでフルタイム撮影されていて、終了後ＤＶＤとして旅の思い出に是非買って下さい（＄２５程度）。
　日本では出来ない体験なので、ハワイ島に滞在したら是非体験して下さい。（ただし０歳児を一緒に搭乗させることはさすがにおすすめはできません・・・）

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＞

A full course of Polynesian music, dance, and cuisine. ポリネシアンミュージックとダンスと料理のフルコース

Reviewed by: MARUKO

We participated as a family of four. The location was a private beach at the hotel, and there were about 200 participants. Most of them were tourists from Western countries, and there were few Japanese attendees. The seating was on a first-come, first-served basis, and since we arrived just before the opening, only the seats at the back were available. Naturally, the seats closer to the front offered a more intense dance experience. Since we had small children with us, it turned out to be nice to have a spacious area at the back to relax.

Before the dance, there is a dinner (buffet style). The variety is abundant, with many Polynesian dishes, and I think it might be challenging for some Japanese men to try all the different types. There are also seafood dishes, allowing you to enjoy Hawaii's food culture. A significant difference from Japan is that Westerners tend to take a large amount at once and are less likely to go back for seconds, so for Japanese people who usually take smaller portions, there might be dishes they intended to eat later that are already gone. By the way, there is no replenishment of the food. The drinks are free-flowing, but the bar counter closes once the show starts, so please drink as much as you like before the food.

The dance show features not only Hawaiian hula but also various forms of dance from the Polynesian region, accompanied by music. There are no explanations in Japanese, but this actually enhances the atmosphere of being enveloped in a different culture, making it enjoyable. You will have a wonderful evening on the island of Hawaii, where the fire goddess Pele resides.

家族4人で参加しました。ロケーションはホテルのプライベートビーチで、参加者は２００人程でした。ほとんどが欧米からの観光客で日本人は少なかったです。席は先着順で私達は開園直前に行ったので後ろの席しか空いていませんでした。当然前の方の席ほどダンスの迫力が違います。私達は小さな子供達がいたので結果的に後ろの方の席で広いスペースでのんびりとできてよかったです。
ダンスの前にディナー（ビュッフェ形式）があります。品数は豊富でポリネシアン料理がたくさんあって全種類食べるのには日本人の男性では厳しい方もいると思います。魚介類の料理もあってハワイの食文化を堪能できます。日本と決定的に違うのは、欧米人の方は1回で大量に取って2回目以降をとりに行く人が少ないので、1回のとる量が少量の日本人にとっては後で食べようと思っていた料理が無くなっていることもあります。ちなみに料理の補充はありません。お酒もフリードリンクですが、ショーが始まるとバーカウンターも閉じてしまうので、料理の前にお酒は好きなだけ飲んでおいて下さい。
ダンスショーはハワイのフラダンスショーONLYではなく、ポリネシア圏の様々な形のダンスを音楽を交えて披露してくれます。日本語の説明は一切ありませんが、かえって異文化に包まれている雰囲気が高まり楽しめます。
火の女神ペレが住む島ハワイ島での素敵な一晩になりますよ。

luau show ルアウショー

Reviewed by: ラキア

It was a dance show and fire dance performed by Polynesian people. There was a person cracking coconuts, and between the shows, the host introduced the upcoming show, but since I don't understand English, it was all gibberish to me. However, I was able to enjoy the show itself regardless of the language barrier. As for the food, my impression was, "Is this all there is?" By the way, the day we saw it was sunny, so it was outdoors, but it seems that the next day it was rainy and held indoors. I wonder if they can't do the fire dance indoors?

ポリネシアンの人たちが繰り広げるダンスショーやファイアーダンスでした。ココナッツ割の人とショーとショーの間これからやるショーの紹介を司会の人がしてくれていたみたいなんですが、英語がわからない私には、チンプンカンプンでした。ショー自体は英語がわからなくても関係なく楽しめました。ただし、料理は「こんなもんかな？」という感想です。ちなみに、私達が見た日は晴れていたので屋外でしたが、翌日は雨で屋内でやってたみたいです。ファイアーダンスは屋内だと出来ないような？？

We enjoyed the show, and the MC was really funny and had a good voice. Before it started we ended up waiting in several different areas for them to set up. The cups for the drinks were too small, even for water and soda. I can understand having small cups for the alcohol, but it was difficult to drink enough water. It would have been more comfortable with the tables and chairs set up on the grass, instead of sitting on concrete (too hot!)Also, a bigger selection of vegetarian options would be good. Overall, as first timers to the Island, we really enjoyed the show. Thanks!

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

Luau was great!

Reviewed by: Lori & Craig

This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we thought the luau was a great value! The food was great, and since our room looked over the luau area, we got to see the pig being put in the imu pit early in the day, and then experienced how great it tasted hours later!
Unfortunately our luau was rained out just as the show started, and though we got a raincheck for the show, we had another event planned for luau nights and could only come late into the show. I think we missed a good portion of the fire dancers as we only saw one guy. What we did see was great though!
I'd definitely do it again.

Very knowledgable and wanted to make sure everyone on the flight was able to get the best views of lava, waterfalls, and other points of interest.

I saw lava flows! 溶岩流見られました！

Reviewed by: tobo

I was really looking forward to this helicopter tour since it was my first time, and it did not disappoint; it was incredibly fun.

This trip to Hawaii was specifically for this experience, so I made sure to splurge on a helicopter tour that allowed us to peek into the crater from above. It was truly amazing to see.

The two-hour course included views of Waipi'o Valley, and I thoroughly enjoyed the unique perspective that only a helicopter can provide. Later, we also drove to see it from the ground, and that offered a different kind of emotional experience compared to the aerial view.

The helicopter seats were spacious and clean, and I didn't feel much vibration at all; I had no fear whatsoever. Even those who dislike roller coasters should be fine. I even thought it could have been a bit more thrilling.

As a note, if you're planning to take photos, you should wear dark clothing. In my case, the bright clothes of the person sitting in front of me reflected on the windshield, which was a bit of a hassle. I think it's considerate to wear dark clothes for the sake of others as well.

初めてヘリコプターに乗るツアーということで、とても楽しみにしていましたが、期待は裏切られることなくとても楽しいものでした。

今回は、これが目的で父親を連れてきたハワイでしたので、なんとしても赤いものを見せようと思い、上から火口を覗けるヘリツアーを奮発しました。凄いものを見たなとの思いがしました。

２時間コースなのでワイピオ渓谷も見られ、ヘリならではの舐めるような眺め方を堪能出来ました。
この後地上からも車で見に行ったんですが、これはまたこれで高空からと違いを感じる感動がありましたよ。

ヘリのシートは広くて奇麗で、振動も思ったより感じられず、全く恐怖心も起きませんでした。ジェットコースター嫌いな人もまず大丈夫でしょう。もっとスリルがあっても良いと思った位です。

注意点にもありますが、写真を撮る人は暗い服を着て行くべきです。私の場合、前に座っていた人の明るい服が風防ガラスに写り込んでしまい困りました。
他の人のことも考えて暗い服にするべきだと思います。
