We participated as a family, but since I'm not good at English and the show progressed quickly, I couldn't understand it well. I think it would be enjoyable if you are okay with English. It felt different from the shows in Guam and Saipan.
家族で参加しましたが、英語が苦手なため早口でショーが進行されたため内容がよく分からなかった。英語OKなら楽しめると思います。グアムやサイパンのショーとは一味違う感じでした。
Dear Denden,
I am very sorry that you felt a language barrier. Although this will be in English, our dancers and MC always hope to overcome the language barrier through dance and heart. We will cherish this as an important challenge we want to overcome.
I understand that you came with your family. While there may be changes from day to day, sometimes the musician is the father, the dancer is the daughter, and the receptionist is the mother. We also want to strive to create wonderful memories for your family in Hawaii again.
でんでん様。 言葉の壁を感じさせてしまい、とても残念に思っています。
英語でのご案内にはなりますが、ダンサーもMCもダンスと心で言葉の壁を乗り越えられたらといつも思っております。
乗り越えたい課題として大切にいたします。
ご家族でお越しいただけたとのこと。私達も日によって変更はありますが
ミュージシャンが父、踊っているのがその娘、受付はその母だったりしています。
ご家族でハワイにまた素敵な思い出づくりになれるよう私達も努めたいと思います。

We participated as a family. The beach nearby was wonderfully beautiful and soothing to the soul. However, I underestimated the situation, and almost no Japanese is spoken on the Big Island. As a result, I could hardly understand the content of the show, and checking the parking lot of the hosting hotel was quite a struggle. If you're not confident in your English, please make sure to check the parking in advance. Even without understanding the language, the dance and music of the show were enjoyable.
家族で参加しました。すぐそばに有るビーチは素晴らしく綺麗で心が癒されました。ですが、私が甘く考えていてハワイ島はほとんど日本語が通じません。のためショーの内容はほとんど分からず、開催ホテルの駐車場を確認するのも一苦労でした。英語に自信がない方は前もって駐車場の確認などして下さい。
言葉が分からなくてもショーのダンスや音楽は楽しかったです。

I had heard that the Kona area has little rain, but it seems this year has been quite rainy, and the day we attended the luau show was a disaster (crying).
First, we checked in at the luau desk in the hotel. It was popular, so there was a line, but it was completed smoothly. However, when we went out to the beach, there was a long line. The host was speaking amusingly, but those in the back couldn't hear at all. After entering, I purchased a women's dendrobium lei for $6 and a men's kukui lei for $5. We took a commemorative photo here, but due to the chaos from the heavy rain afterward, photos were not available for purchase anywhere.
We were seated at a table with Americans, greeting and shaking hands. Drinks were free, but since there was only one lady serving, there was another long line. The meal included poi and about three types of meat. The taste was American-style, which I liked.
Just as the meal began, it started to rain... what began as a light drizzle quickly turned into a decent downpour, and everyone was given bath towels to cover their heads. The tablecloth, the trays with food, and everything got soaked from the rain. The drinks were diluted by the rainwater.
Originally, there were supposed to be various activities before the meal, but as the rain intensified, everything was cleared away in about 15 minutes. We couldn't participate in anything. There was no whole roasted pig either. The main show ended up being super fast-paced and finished in no time (laughs). It was supposed to end after 8 PM, but surprisingly, it wrapped up by 6:30 PM, and the band, food, and audience all cleared out immediately.
Despite this disappointing experience, only a few people left their seats, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves to some extent until the end. I had high expectations based on good reviews, and since it was my first day on the Big Island, I was really looking forward to it, but it ended up being a letdown. I'm unsure if I would want to see it again next time.
コナ地区は雨が少ないと聞いていたが、今年は雨が多いらしく、私達がこのルアウショーに参加した日はさんざんでした(泣)
まずホテル内のルアウデスクでチェックイン。やはり人気で並んでましたがこれは簡単スムーズに完了。
しかしビーチに出てみると長蛇の列。司会進行役が面白おかしく喋っていますが、後方には全く聞こえず。
入場してから女性用デンファレレイを$6で購入、男性用のククイレイは$5。ここで記念写真を撮りますが、この後の大雨のバタバタで写真販売はどこでもされておらず買えず仕舞。
通された席はアメリカの方たちと同じテーブルで、挨拶したり握手したり。
ドリンクはフリーですが、おばちゃん一人で対応しているのでこれまた長蛇の列。食事はポイなどもあり、お肉の種類も3種類ほどありました。味もアメリカンな味で私は好きです。
さて食事が始まってすぐに雨が,,,小雨だったの束の間、そこそこの雨が降り出し、全員にバスタオルが配られ皆が頭からすっぽり白いタオルをずっとかぶってました。テーブルクロスも食事の入ったトレーも料理も全部雨でぐしょぐしょ。グラスのお酒は雨で薄まって水になってました。
本来なら食事前に色んなアクティビティがあったようですが、雨が強くなってどれも15分ほどで撤収。何も参加できず。豚の丸焼きもありませんでした。
肝心のショーも超早送りであれよあれよという間に終わって(笑)20時過ぎ終了予定がなんと18時半には終わって、バンドも料理も観客も即撤収。
そんな散々な内容でしたが、席を立つ人は数名だけで、みんな最後までそれなりに楽しんでいました。
口コミも良く、初ハワイ島初日だったので期待していましたが、残念な結果に終わってしまいました。次回もう一回観るかは悩むなー
We sincerely apologize for the lack of accurate judgment and communication regarding the response during rainy weather. The decision on how to proceed is made by the banquet manager based on the weather conditions on the day. If the luau show is shortened due to rain, please check with nearby staff about the measures that will be taken. We may also suggest rescheduling options. Our staff will do their utmost to ensure you have an enjoyable experience, and we hope you will consider participating again in the future.

We participated as a family. Since it was about wild dolphins, we were able to see a family of dolphins shortly after the boat started moving. At the front of the boat, we could also see many flying fish several times.
I wanted to see the dolphins a bit closer, but since snorkeling was the main activity this time, we traveled for about an hour.
For breakfast (light snacks), we could freely make our own bread and fruit, and the burgers for lunch were also delicious, along with fresh potato salad and vegetables. Maui chips were available as snacks, which was nice.
We could always have warm drinks, and there were many options for cold drinks. We could also have alcohol for an additional fee.
On the day of the trip, we were the only Japanese people, but the staff kindly supported us, which made us feel at ease. They lent us prescription masks, and the facilities were well-equipped with showers, noodle and glass-bottomed boards to see below. The snorkeling spot had high visibility, and the waves were at a safe height, allowing us to swim comfortably even in deeper areas.
On the way back, we were also able to see a turtle, and we were very satisfied.
家族で参加しました。
野生のイルカということで、船が走り出してすぐにイルカの家族を見ることができました。船の先端では、たくさんのトビウオも飛ぶ姿も何度も見ることできます。
イルカを、もう少し近くで見たいところでしたが、今回はシュノ―ケリングがメインなのでしばらく一時間ほど移動しました。
朝食(軽食)のパンやフルーツ、昼食のバーガーも自分たちで自由に作ることができ、ポテトサラダや野菜も新鮮でおいしくいただけました。マウイチップスもスナックとしてあり良かったです。
また温かい飲み物は常時飲むことができ、冷たい飲み物の種類も多かったです。追加料金でお酒も飲むことができました。
当日、日本人は自分達だけでしたが、スタッフにやさしくサポートしてもらえたので安心でした。マスクも度付きのを貸出してもらい。ヌードルやグラスで下が見えるビート版等、シャワー完備と充実しておりました。シュノーケルのスポットは、透明度が高く、深くても安心して泳げる波の高さでした。
帰りにカメも見ることができ、とても満足しています。

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii as a couple, and it was our first time on the Big Island. I was really looking forward to seeing an authentic outdoor luau show for the first time as well. Overall, it was excellent.
I had checked reviews beforehand about the need to "line up before entering the venue," so after checking into our hotel (it was the night of our arrival, and we were staying at the King Kamehameha), we took care of the process right away. They gave us a paper with the reception time, but even though we arrived about 30 minutes early, there was quite a line! Most of the audience were Westerners, with only about 20% being Japanese. Normally, it seems that Japanese guests are seated together, which allows for taking photos and chatting, but we were seated at a table with only Westerners, with no Japanese guests at all...
We were seated at one of the end seats in the front row facing the stage, which was very calming. We could see the ocean and the Ahuena Heiau in the background, and we had a great view of the dancers' entrance scenes, which made us very satisfied.
I wanted to experience the traditional imu ceremony at least once, and it was good, but after experiencing it once, I think I'm okay with it... (The smell was quite strong since they steam the pig at high temperatures.)
The food was traditional and served buffet-style, so we could enjoy a variety of dishes. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, which was nice, but since our table was at the front, it was quite a trek to get to the drink station.
They also showcased dances from neighboring islands, which was great. As a fellow hula dancer, I was able to observe from various angles, and it was a good learning experience.
Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily during the show, and it ended quite a bit earlier than scheduled, which was a bit disappointing.
Overall, I was a bit anxious about not having any Japanese guests around, but we still had a great time, so it was very good.
夫婦でのハワイ旅行は、4度目にして、初めてのハワイ島でした。
また、屋外での、本格的なルアウショーを観るのも初めてでしたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
結果としては、◎でした。
「会場に入るまで並ぶ」というのを事前にクチコミでチェックしていたので、ホテルチェックイン後(到着日の夜だったのと、ちょうど宿泊先がキングカメハメハだったので)すぐに、手続きをしました。
受付時間を書いた紙をその場でくれたのですが、それでも、少し早めの30分前位に会場へ行ったにも関わらず、結構並んでいました!!
観覧客はほとんどが欧米人で、日本人は2割位だったかと思います。
また、通常は、日本人は日本人同士でテーブルセッティングしてくださるみたいですが(写真を撮り合ったり、お話したりできるから)、私達夫婦は、日本人がひとりもいない、欧米人のみのテーブルへ通されました・・・
ステージ側の前の方の、一番端の席だったため、とても落ち着き、バックには海とアフエナヘイアウ、ダンサーたちの登場シーンもよく見ることができ、とても満足でした。
伝統的なイムセレモニーは、一度は経験したかったので、よかったですが、一度経験すれば、もういいかな。。。
(豚さんを高温で蒸し焼きするので、匂いがかなりきつかったのです)
お食事は伝統的なもので、ビュッフェ式でしたので、いろいろ楽しめました。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、こちらもよかったのですが、テーブルが前の方だったので、その分、ドリンクの所へたどり着くまでが、とても遠かったです。
ハワイだけでなく、近隣の島々の踊りも織り交ぜながら、披露してくださいます。
同じフラダンサーとしては、いろいろな角度から、観させていただき、よい勉強になりました。
途中で雨がたくさん降ってきてしまい、時間よりもかなり早く終わってしまい、それが少し残念でした。
全体的には、日本人が周りにいなくて不安はありましたが(^^ゞ
それでも楽しめたので、とてもよかったです。

Although it was the main highlight of my trip that I was looking forward to, unfortunately, it rained heavily.
Usually, there is a performance where King Kamehameha arrives by boat, followed by a dinner show under the starry sky, but it was suddenly changed to an indoor show.
We had to wait about an hour in the hotel lobby for the setup, but during that time, the MC kept us entertained with jokes and ukulele performances. Chatting with other foreign tourists also became a nice memory.
We moved to a banquet-like area inside the hotel for the show to begin. The performances of singing and dancing, along with audience participation during the cha-cha dance time, were wonderfully entertaining, and I was very satisfied.
The food featured traditional Hawaiian dishes as the main course. It was quite filling, and while tastes may vary, I enjoyed it very much.
We also had plenty of fun with participatory activities like hula lessons, but the hotel hallway felt a bit cramped. I wished we could have done it outside under the sky on the grass. However, it was such a fulfilling show program that I definitely want to participate again on a day with better weather!
I clearly remember the words, "For those visiting Hawaii for the first time, welcome; for those returning, you are friends (aikane); and for those coming for the third time or more, you are all family (ohana)," which warmed my heart.
旅のメインと楽しみにしていたのに生憎の大雨。
通常はキングカメハメハがボートに乗ってやってくるパフォーマンスと星空の下でのディナーショーなのですが、急きょ室内でのショーに変更になりました。
セッティングのためホテルロビーにて1時間ほど待たされたのですが、その間も客を飽きさせないようMCの方が冗談を飛ばしたりウクレレ演奏があったり。ほかの外国人観光客たちとの立ち話もいい思い出となりました。
ホテル内の宴会場のような場所に移動して、ショーの開始。
歌や踊りのパフォーマンス、観客を巻き込んでのチークダンスタイムなど素敵な演出が盛りだくさんで大満足でした。
料理はハワイの伝統食がメイン。ボリューム満点で好みは分かれるかとも思いますが、私は美味しく頂きました。
フラレッスンなどの参加型アクティビティも十分楽しめたのですが、やはりホテルの廊下では少し狭く、空の下、芝生の上でやりたかったなあという印象。しかし次こそは天候に恵まれた日にまたぜひ参加したい!と思える充実したショープログラムでした。
「一度目のHawaiiのひとは初めまして、
二度目のひとは友達(aikane)、
三度目以上の人はみんな家族(ohana)」
という言葉に心がほっこりしたのをよく覚えています♪
Dear Mr. Anonymous,
Thank you for attending the luau show. Your comments almost brought tears to my eyes. While the rain is a blessing for us Polynesians, it often prevents us from showcasing the beauty of the ocean, the arrival of the king, and the imu show, which may leave our guests unsatisfied.
We would love for you to become part of our Ohana.

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii. Going to a luah was one activity we chose. We took advantage of the preferred seating and felt it was worth the money. We were seated right in the front, were able to go first to the buffet and received $5 off our picture and paid only $5 for parking. The entertainment was truly amazing. The food was o.k but we didn't expect a whole lot. The dancers even stood at the exit so you could get a picture with them.

The day after arriving on the Big Island, I went on a submarine ride. The weather was nice and the wind was just right, and everyone in my group (from my grandfather to my 5-year-old child, a total of 9 people) was in high spirits.
I was worried about getting seasick and thought I should have taken some motion sickness medication, but as we submerged deeper and the fish appeared before us, all those worries vanished.
The fish I mainly saw were vibrant yellow ones and black and white striped fish. I wish I could have seen more colorful fish like red or blue ones. Perhaps if I had dived in Oahu, I might have encountered a wider variety of fish.
During the dive, there were various explanations in English, and for Japanese speakers, we were given earphones to hear the explanations in Japanese. However, the English explanations were so loud that I couldn't hear the Japanese ones at all, which was disappointing.
That said, the sea was beautifully clear and blue, and I was able to witness truly wonderful scenery, making it a fantastic memory!
ハワイ島に到着した翌日、潜水艦に乗りました^^
天気も良く風も程よく、同行者全員(一番上はおじいちゃんから、一番下は5歳の子供まで総勢9名)気分は上々↑↑
船酔いするかな…酔い止めの薬、飲んでくれば良かったかな…なんて思っているうちに、どんどん潜水していき、目の前に魚たちがあらわれた時には、そんな心配はどこかへ吹き飛んでいました。
主に目にした魚は鮮やかな黄色や、黒と白のストライプの魚が中心でした。赤とか青とか、もう少し違った色の魚が見れればもっと良かったかな…って思っています。
もしかしたら、オアフ島でダイブしていれば、もっと色とりどりの魚を目にすることができたのかもしれませんね。
また、潜水中は、英語で色々と説明があり、日本人に対しては、日本語の説明が聞こえるイヤホンを渡されるのですが、英語の説明の声が大きすぎて、日本語の説明が全く聞こえず残念でした。
とはいえ、海はどこまでも青く澄んで綺麗で、本当に素敵な光景を目にすることができとても素晴らしい思い出になりました~!!
Thank you for participating in the submarine tour on the Big Island. We are very pleased to hear that your family was able to see the tropical fish that inhabit the Big Island. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the Japanese audio guide not being audible through the earphones on the day of the tour. There is a volume adjustment near the viewing point (submarine window) where you can increase the volume to hear the guide better, and we hope you can make use of that.
Additionally, the types of fish you can see vary depending on the sea conditions and the season. Even in the same location, you may encounter different species of fish and marine life, so we would love for you to join us again in the future.

This was an amazing Luau.. WOW! Can't say enough about it. The food was amazing, the entertainment, the entire night. We opted for preferred seating so we were escorted right in, greeted with a fresh flower lei and had our picture taken. That was just the start of a truly fantastic evening. It was held near the ocean at the King Kamehameha Hotel within view of the Ahuena Heiau. The Ahu'ena Heiau is the religious temple that served Kamehameha the Great when he returned to the Big Island in 1812. The show after dinner was spectacular, hard to describe with words.

I participated on a weekday in early October before the triathlon competition. We were the only Japanese people there.
Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins, but the boat was spacious, and the restrooms were clean, so I was satisfied with the facilities. There were slides and diving boards, and the slide was particularly enjoyable even for adults.
The meals and drinks were well-prepared, and I had no trouble at all. The staff was friendly and provided snorkeling sets and wetsuits for rent.
We had plenty of time to enjoy snorkeling. However, the coral was located at a depth of about 5 to 10 meters, and I could only see the fish up close after diving deep. Even just floating on the surface, the water's clarity was excellent, allowing us to see the seabed well, but the fish were quite far away, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied.
I think the boat was too large to anchor in very shallow areas. If you want to see the fish up close, diving might have been a better option.

食事や飲み物もきちんとそろっていて全く困りませんでしたし、スタッフはフレンドリーでシュノーケルセットやウェットスーツ等も貸してくれます。
シュノーケルもたっぷり楽しむ時間がありました。ただ、水深5m~10m位のところに珊瑚があって、深く潜ってやっと魚が近くに見える程度。水面でぷかぷか浮いて見るだけでも、海の透明度は抜群なので海底まで良く見えはしましたが、魚はとても遠くにいて、ちょっと不完全燃焼でした。
船が大きめなのであまり浅いところには停められないのだと思います。魚を近くで見たければダイビングがよかったかもしれません。

When we arrived at the meeting point on the pier, we immediately recognized the boat that was docked. The boat was clean, with tables and benches on the first floor, and only benches on the second floor. There was plenty of space to move around. We had a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old with us, and there were activities that everyone, from kids to adults, could enjoy, such as watching dolphins and riding in a boat shaped like a float. The staff were friendly and very attentive. They also provided wetsuits for both children and adults (each for $10). We were also soothed by the wonderful views, sea breeze, and music. I highly recommend it.
集合場所の桟橋に着くと、船がとまっているのですぐにわかりました。船はきれいで1階にはテーブルとベンチがあり、2階にはベンチのみ。スペースはかなりゆったりとしています。4歳と6歳の子供連れでしたが、イルカを見たり、浮き輪のような形のボートに乗ったり、子供から大人まで楽しめる内容です。スタッフもフレンドリーで、面倒見のよい方々ばかりでした。子供用と大人用のウェットスーツも借してくれます。(1つ10ドル)素晴らしい景色と海風と音楽にも癒されました。おすすめです。

I went with my 6-year-old and 4-year-old, and both of them enjoyed floating in the sea. The activities were enjoyable for the kids as well. We were the only Japanese people there, but it wasn't a problem at all. Grandpa just watched, but the boat was large enough to provide shade, so waiting was comfortable.
6歳と4歳の子供連れでしたが、二人とも海でぷかぷか。
子供にも楽しめる内容でした。
日本人は私達だけですが、特に問題はなかったです。
ジージは見ているだけなのですが、船が大きいので日陰があり
待つのも安心でした。

We were looking forward to our first adventure in Hawaii... an official Luau. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the history of the story telling. However, one downside was that we were instructed and confirmed to go to one hotel and when we arrived early to check in were told there was no show there that night... after going through channels we were told to go to another hotel and we checked in without issue. The evening was pleasant, we met other families and enjoyed the fun. The food was good but nothing too special but the atmosphere was pleasant, the breeze warm and the mai tai's cold! We enjoyed the experience overall.

The perfect choice for our family of four! My husband and I weren't too sure at first if our kids would behave for this trip, but we were so glad we went. Not only did the kids behave....they loved it! They couldn't get enough of the colorful fish and sea critters. And the time was perfect...enough to see alot, yet not too long for the kids to get too restless or bored at all. A great choice for us.
