Atlantis Kona Submarine Tour & Undersea Adventure - Descend up to 100 feet

Not the yellow submarine...

The crew was fantastic. A very unique way to see ocean life up close. It was a bit crowded and you have to bend over to see out the windows if you are taller than 5 foot, but you soon forget about that as you look through your window.

Island breeze beach front luau

Reviewed by: Jules

This is the best luau i have ever been! Not only is it very affordable but the host is very informative on the cultures of the hawaiians and the other polynesian tribes. My best friend and I had soo much fun in this luau and plus we are amazed at the fire show that they put on. We were very overwhelmingly satisfied w/ the amount of food that they serve (about 20 diff kinds of hawaiian dishes)not to mention the 2 hours open bar! I had too much mai tais w/in two hours! This is a great luau to go to for first timers or as regulars.

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＞

It was a refreshing cruise. 爽やかクルージングでした　

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see a whale spouting water and its tail about ten times. Although they were too far away to capture in photos, it was my first time seeing whales in the ocean, and I was truly moved.

According to the explanation from the crew on the "Naturalist," the end of December is when the whales coming from Alaska start to arrive, so their numbers are still low. The best season is said to be from the end of January to February. During that time, you can even hear the calls of male whales trying to attract females through an underwater microphone. If you want to increase your chances of encountering whales, I think it's best to check the season.

That said, cruising on the newly refurbished Body Glove was very pleasant, and just looking at the blue ocean and the green shore was soothing. It was also a nice touch that snacks and fruits were provided for free. There was a bartender on board, and foreign tourists were eagerly enjoying cocktails. Since the guide mentioned that soft drinks were included, I decided to try a non-alcoholic cocktail, and they even added a cute orchid flower to it for free. (To order a non-alcoholic cocktail, just add "virgin." For example, you can ask for a "virgin piña colada" to have a cocktail made without rum.)

On the way back to the port, I encountered a pod of dolphins and a manta ray (though I couldn't see it well since it was just its back), so I think the hit rate was quite high. Since this is a tour that relies on nature rather than a guaranteed aquarium experience, I believe you can still have a great time even if you don't encounter any wildlife, as long as you enjoy the cruising itself.

クジラは潮を吹いているのと、尻尾を10回程観る事が出来ました。どれも遠くて写真に収める事は出来ませんでしたが、
海でクジラを観たのは初めてだったので感動しました。

乗船していた「ナチュラリスト」の方の説明によると、12月末はまだアラスカから来るクジラが到着し始めた頃で数が少なく、ベストシーズンは1月末から2月だそうです。 その頃になると、メスを呼ぶオスのクジラの声を水中マイクで聴いたりする事もできるそうです。 クジラ遭遇のヒット率を高くしたい方はシーズンをチェックした方が良いと思います。　

とはいえ、今年から新しくしたというボディ・グローブ号でのクルージングはとても気持ちがよく、青い海原と緑の対岸を見ているだけでも癒されます。 スナックやフルーツが無料で用意されているのも嬉しいサービスでした。バーテンダーの方も同乗しており、外国人観光客の方はこぞってカクテルを飲んでいました。 案内にソフトドリンク付きとあったので、試しにノンアルコールのカクテルを頼んでみたら、かわいい蘭の花をつけてくれてこれも無料でした。（ノンアルコールでカクテルを頼むには「ヴァージン」を付ければOKです。例えば「バージン・ピナコラーダ」でラム抜きでカクテルを作ってくれます。）

港に戻る途中でイルカの群れやマンタ（背中だけなのでよく分かりませんでしたが）に遭遇したりと、ヒット率は高かったと思います。 必ず遭える水族館ではなく、自然に任せてのツアーなので、クルージング自体を楽しむ感覚で行けば遭遇出来なくても十分に楽しめると思います。

Great activity, but had one problem

Reviewed by: Arnab

The luau staff were great, but we wish the hotel staff at the lobby were more helpful. We were out of cash to pay $3 for the parking, and all nearby ATM's were down. We asked the lobby staff to accept a credit card payment, but they would not budge. Finally one person in the Luau staff (Dan, I believe) helped us out (bless his heart!). So even though the activity was great, the ending was somewhat rocky.

It's okay. まあまあかな

Reviewed by: seisyun

I was late for the meeting time, so I was guided to my seat first, but then I went back to get a lei and a flower tattoo. Since it was a buffet, I was able to eat a lot of my favorite foods, but personally, I wanted to eat even more (laughs). While I was in the restroom, the show started, and I missed the Tahitian dance, which was the one I wanted to see the most, so I was really disappointed. The same performers danced various regional dances, which provided a different kind of enjoyment compared to PCC. Since I could see it up close, I carefully observed one dancer to study the dance. If PCC is a show to enjoy the overall impact, I think the show here allows for more detailed observation. It might be great for those who are seeing Hawaiian cuisine and dance for the first time.

集合時間に遅れてしまったので、先に席に案内されたが、戻ってレイや花のいれずみをやってもらった。
バイキングなので自分の好きなものをたくさん食べれたが、私的にもっと食べていたかった（笑）。
トイレに行っていた最中にショーが始まってしまい、タヒチのダンスを見損ねてしまった。一番見たかったダンスだけにショックだった。
色々な地域のダンスを同じ人たちが踊っていたので、PCCとは違った楽しさがあった。まじかで見れたので、一人の人をじっくり観察してダンスを研究した。
PCCが全体の迫力を楽しむショーであるとしたら、ここでのショーはじっくり観察できるものであると思う。
ハワイアン料理やダンスなどを初めて見るといった人にはいいかもしれない。

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。

They jumped repeatedly, putting on quite a show. In conclusion, I'm glad I participated.

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!

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。

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。

On the first day of my arrival, I went to the show. I felt like it started before I really understood what was happening, probably because I'm not used to English, but I was quite moved by the appearance of the king. I was able to experience a ceremonial hula that you can't find in other dinner shows. Everyone there was very friendly, but since I couldn't speak English, I could only manage polite smiles. It seems that having better English skills is necessary to enjoy it more. As for the food... well, it was just average. I was happy to drink a lot of Kona coffee, though.

到着初日に行ったきました。
英語に慣れていないせいか、よく分からないうちに始まってしまった感がありましたが、キングの出現にはかなり感動しました。

When you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to enjoy a dance show! However, it can feel a bit lonely if you don't understand English. The host will show you where to sit. After that, it would be a waste to just sit there not knowing what to do! You can go get a free drink and enjoy it, or before the show, you can learn how to open coconuts, get a tattoo, make angel fish from palm leaves, and learn hula dancing at two different stations. Even if you don't understand English, it's better to get up and explore rather than just sitting around.

The buffet-style meal is also guided to your table, so you just have to wait! The food is delicious, and it seems like it was tailored to suit Japanese tastes! It's really tasty! The dancing is fun, and the scent of the ocean and the sound of the waves are refreshing, which made me feel great.

However, it was a bit disappointing that it rained in Kona, which is quite rare!

やっぱりハワイに行ったら、ダンスショーを楽しまなきゃ！って思いましたね。ただ英語がわからないと寂しい思いもします。座る場所はホストが教えてくれます。その後はどうして良いか判らず座っていると勿体ない！。フリードリンクを取って来て飲んでも良し、ショーの前にココナツの剥き方や、タトゥー、ヤシの葉で作るエンゼルフィッシュ，フラダンスの仕方など２カ所に別れてやっているので、英語がわからずとも座っていないでどんどん見て回ると良いです。
ビュッフェタイプの食事もテーブル事に案内してくれるので、まっていれば良いだけ！。
料理はそれも美味しくて、日本人好みにしたんじゃないか！って位口に合います。それを食べても美味しいです！。ダンスも楽しいし、海の香りと波の音も爽やかで、いい気分でした~。

Reviewed by: quattro97

I previously rode in a semi-submersible at the Great Barrier Reef, and I have memories of it being tough due to the long boat ride. In contrast, this tour departs from the pier on a small boat and reaches the diving point in about 10 minutes. Once you transfer to the submarine and dive, there’s no more rocking. It’s suitable even for those who are sensitive to motion sickness. This time, my grandparents and children, who couldn’t snorkel, were able to explore the seabed while chatting, and everyone was happy. Along the way, we encountered a sunken ship and schools of fish, and it felt amazing to discover such a paradise so close to land in Hawaii. Additionally, since the participation time is about 120 minutes, we were able to enjoy ourselves before and after, which was great.

以前グレートバリアリーフで半潜水艇に乗ったことがありますが、沖まで長時間船に揺られて辛かった思い出があります。これに対して、このツアーは桟橋から小型船で出発して10分程度で潜水ポイントに到着。そこで潜水艦に移動した後、潜ってしまえば揺れません。乗り物に弱い人でも大丈夫です。今回シュノーケル等ができない、おじいちゃんおばあちゃん、子供と一緒におしゃべりしながら海底探索できて、みんな喜んでくれました。途中、沈没船があったり、魚の群れに遭遇したり、こんな陸の近くにパラダイスがあるなんてハワイってすごい、という感じです。また、参加時間が120分程度なので、その前後もふつ~に遊べてグッドでした。

We participated as two families. Since it was an English tour, I was a bit anxious, but with the voucher, there were no issues at the reception. Once on board, the staff was kind, which made me feel at ease. The boat anchored in about 8 meters of water. Although I started snorkeling feeling a bit overwhelmed at first, I gradually got used to it and began to see fish and even dive a little...

The kids boldly played by jumping into the sea from the second deck of the boat using a slide and diving from the deck (4-5 meters). The parents also returned to their childhood and jumped in as well.

There are two episodes related to the camera...
First, a friend's husband dove from the deck with a camera! When he came up from underwater, he had a cut on his forehead... the camera had hit him. Fortunately, the injury wasn't too serious, but the camera was broken. For some reason, we all ended up laughing... everything becomes fun when you're here.

Second, my husband came down the stairs from the deck with ease. However, he slipped at the end! The camera he was holding disappeared into the sea. But the staff dove in and found the camera for us. We were so moved. Thank you very much.

２家族で参加しました。英語のツアーなので不安でしたがバウチャーがあれば、受付で困ることはありませんよ。乗船してからもスタッフが優しいので安心でした。船は停泊したのは、水深８Ｍ位のところ。シュノーケルを始めたもののアップアップしてしまい始めは不安でしたが慣れてくるとお魚を見たりちょっと潜ってみたり・・・
子供たちは、船の２Ｆデッキから滑り台で海へ飛び込んだり、デッキ（４~５Ｍ）から海へ飛び込んだり、大胆に遊んでいました。親たちも童心に帰って飛び込んでみたりしちゃいました。
そこでカメラにまつわる２つのエピソードが・・・
その１．友人のご主人は、カメラを持ってデッキからダイビング！！水中から顔を上げるとおでこに血が・・・・カメラが当たってしまったのです。けがは、それほどでもなったのですかカメラが壊れてしまったのです。でもなぜか大笑い・・ここにいると何でも楽しくなってしまいます。
その２．私の夫は、軽快にデッキから階段を下りてきました。ところが最後にツル！
手に持っていたカメラが海のそこへ~~消えていきました。ところが、スタッフのかたが潜ってカメラを探してきてくれたのです。もう大感激でした。ありがとうございました。

Regarding the Body Glove snorkeling tour... ボディーグルーブのシュノーケルツアーに関して・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Our family consisted of our youngest child, a 4-year-old girl, and two boys aged 13 and 15, along with my spouse. We had a decent time. I'm not sure if it was because it was a Monday, but there were about 30 participants in total. The breakfast pastries and fruits, as well as the ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, were plentiful enough that there were leftovers at the end. I thought the flavors were quite American and a bit bland, but my son really enjoyed the breakfast muffins, and my wife loved the vegetables served at lunch and went back for seconds. The deck was not crowded with that number of people, which felt just right.

After about a 30-minute sail, we arrived at our destination and started snorkeling. The instructions were only in English, but I assumed that the safety information was all that mattered, so I think as long as you have some common sense, you should be fine. The only warning was that "fins should not be worn until just before entering the water," and there were no other particular issues. My 4-year-old daughter, who dislikes getting her face wet, was floating with a life jacket. The three men dove down to about 4 meters to see the fish, but unfortunately, the fish were scarce... (this might have been specific to that day?). This was the biggest downside. I don't know how Hanauma is these days, but I don't think there's much difference (the water wasn't murky like at Hanauma). There was one more thing: the man steering the boat was completely unfriendly. The other crew members were all nice (no worries there). Also, if you're prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication beforehand. The ham and cheese sandwiches after snorkeling might be heavy for some people... but I still felt like I wanted to participate again.

我が家は一番下の子が４歳の女の子から上は１３、１５歳の男の子、そして夫婦で参加いたしました。それなりに楽しめましたよ。月曜だったと言う事なのかよくわかりませんが、参加者は総勢３０名くらいだったかな？朝食のパン類果物類、昼のハムやチーズのサンドウィッチも最後には余る位余裕でした。味の方は私はアメリカらしい大味だな~と思っていましたが、息子は朝食のマフィンを家内は昼食で出た野菜類を痛く気に入っておかわりをしていました。デッキはその人数だと混雑していず、丁度良い感じでした。
出航後、約３０分の航海で目的地に着きシュノーケルをスタートします。案内は英語だけでしたが、安全に関する話が全てだろうと思っていたので、ある程度常識が有ればOKだと思います。注意されたのは「足ひれは海に入る直前まで着けない」の１点で後は特にありませんでした。４歳の娘も顔に水がつくのが嫌いなくせに、ライフジャケットで浮かんでいました。男たち３人は４mくらいの所まで潜って魚たちを見に行きましたが、なにせ、魚影が薄い・・・（この日に限ってのことなのかも？）これが一番の欠点でした。最近のハナウマがどうか知りませんが、大差はないと思います。（ハナウマの様に水は濁ってませんよ）後もう一つありました。船の舵を取ってるおじさんが全く愛想がない。他のクルーはいい人ばかりです（心配なく）。それから船に弱い人は薬は飲んでおいた方が良い場合が有ります。シュノーケル後のハムやチーズのサンドは人に依ってはヘビーかもしれませんから・・でも、また参加したいという気持ちが沸いてきました。

I rode a submarine for the first time, and my child was so excited, amazed by the huge fish. The only disappointment was not seeing any turtles.

初めて潜水艦なるものに乗りましたが子供はもうはしゃぎっぱなしで巨大な魚にもうびっくり。亀がいなたっかのが唯一残念。

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＞

Luau and dinner unique to the Big Island of Hawaii. ハワイ島ならではのルアウ＆ディナー

Reviewed by: sista

A unique space completely different from the glamorous dinner shows in urban areas... You can enjoy a relaxed luau and buffet at an outdoor venue full of mood, backed by the Huehue Heiau floating in Kamakahonu Bay in front of the King Kamehameha Hotel.

After a welcome with a shell lei (fresh flower lei for an additional $4) and a commemorative photo, you can enjoy drinks and take your seats. The entertainment begins with body painting and the Coconut Man, followed by the unearthing of the imu (the roasted pig) and the royal court entrance ceremony... There's over an hour of fun before the meal＾＾

Once you return to your seats, the buffet starts. Since seating is organized by table, there's no crowding, and the food is replenished continuously, allowing you to savor all the dishes. All drinks are free, and you can order at the drink stand. There were fruit punch, cola, Sprite, beer, red and white wine, and Mai Tai. The Mai Tai here is light on rum, making it very easy to drink and highly recommended♪

As your stomach is pleasantly filled and the sun begins to set, the main show starts. With the MC's sweet singing voice and introductions to the history of Big Island interspersed, there are hula, Polynesian, Hawaiian cowboy, tribal dances, and fire dances, all unfolding in a powerful display on a small stage. The Coconut Man also joins the dancers, adding jokes to the diverse program, which is understandable given that it was fully booked even on a weekday (Thursday).

For those with small children (and those who are impatient), I recommend reserving the front-row HANOHANO seats to get to the buffet quickly, as the wait for food can be long and everything is conducted in English. Reservations can be made at the hotel luau desk on the day (before entry). (On weekdays, it's $10 for adults and $8 for children.)

I participated on the night of my arrival on the Big Island, and despite the busy departure from Japan, flight fatigue, and a bit of jet lag, I was able to relax and unwind.

This time, thanks to ALAN's "It's expensive! Alan-chan (lowest price guarantee)," the adult participation fee was changed from $65 to $60!

都市部のきらびやかなディナーショーとは全く違う独特の空間・・・
キングカメハメハホテル前のカマカホヌ湾に浮かぶフエナ・ヘイアウを背にした
ムードたっぷりの屋外の会場で、ルアウとブフェをまったりと楽しめます。

シェルレイでの歓迎(フレッシュフラワーレイは+$4)、記念撮影後の入場後
飲み物を頂いて着席。ボディペインティングやココナッツマン(～)の余興に始まり、
席を離れてイム(生贄の豚の蒸焼の掘り起こし)、ロイヤルコートの入場の儀式…
お食事の前にも、1時間以上のお楽しみがあります＾＾

お席に戻ってからブフェのスタート。テーブル毎の案内なので、混雑もなく
お料理も次々に補充されるので全てのお料理を堪能できます。
お飲み物はすべてフリー、ドリンクスタンドで各自オーダーします。
フルーツパンチ、コーラ、スプライトと、ビール、赤･白ワイン、マイタイがありました。
こちらのマイタイはラム酒が少なめで、とても飲みやすくオススメです♪

程よくお腹が満たされ、日が暮れ始めた頃、メインのショーのスタート。
MCの甘ぁ~い歌声とBigIslandの歴史紹介を合間にはさみ、フラ、ポリネシアン、
ハワイアンカウボーイ、トライバダンスにファイアダンスまで、小さなステージいっぱいに
展開される迫力あるダンスと、前出のココナツマンもダンサーに加わったりの、
ジョークも交えた多彩な構成で平日(木曜日参加)にもかかわらず満席なのも納得。

お食事までの時間が長い事と、進行はすべて英語のみなので、小さなお子様連れの方
（&せっかちな方）は、ブフェに早く立てる前列のHANOHANO席の予約をおすすめします。
ホテルのルアウデスクで当日(入場前)の予約が可能です。(平日は大人$10、子供$8)

ハワイ島到着日の夜の参加でしたが、忙しなく日本を後にしてきた事や
フライトの疲れ、少々の時差も忘れてしまうほど、のんびりと癒されました。

　　　今回、ALANさんの｢高いよ！アランちゃん(最低料金保証)｣にて、
　　　　　大人の参加代金が＄６５→＄６０に変更されました！

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＞

Island Breeze Luau アイランドブリーズルアウ

Reviewed by: alohaspirit

I just returned from my 11th trip to Hawaii after a year and a half. This was my second time on the Big Island. As for the Island Breeze Luau, my impression is "just okay."

From a show perspective, I prefer the grand performance at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. There were six male dancers and four female dancers, if I remember correctly. One of the female dancers wasn't that great. Maybe she was still inexperienced?

Regarding the food, the basic luau dishes like kalua pig, lau lau, lomi lomi salmon, ahi poke, and haupia were all very delicious. However, the buffet serving area was quite small for the number of guests (only two spots), and each table had to go up at staggered times. Unfortunately, the table I was seated at was the last to go, and while I didn't have to worry about food running out, I ended up waiting a long time and got really hungry.

As for the location, I stayed at the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel, which made it easy to get there. It was nice to have the ocean right in front of me.

One more thing that caught my attention was the commemorative photo at the entrance. At the Paradise Cove Luau on Oahu, the dancers joined in for a very vibrant photo, but at the Island Breeze Luau, they just had the guests stand there for a picture. The background was just a hedge, making it look like an amateur digital camera shot. Of course, I didn't buy that photo.

So, for those who have never experienced a luau and are only going to the Big Island, I would say it's "worth a try." However, if you're also visiting Oahu, I highly recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center or Paradise Cove Luau.

1年半ぶり、11回目のハワイ旅行に行ってきました。ハワイ島は2回目です。アイランドブリーズルアウ、私としては「まぁまぁ」という感想です。

ショーの観点からは私はオアフ島のポリネシアカルチャーセンターの壮大なやつの方が好きです。ダンサーの構成は男性6名、女性4名だったかな。その中の女性一名の踊りがちょっとイマイチでした。まだ歴が浅かったのかな？

料理についてですが、カルアピッグ・ラウラウ・ロミロミサーモン・アヒポキ・ハウピアなどの基本的なルアウ料理はそれぞれとてもおいしかったです。しかし客の人数に対しバフェをサーブする場所がとても小さく(たったの2箇所)、各テーブル毎に時間差で取りに行かされ、よりによって私が着席したテーブルは一番最後に食事を取りに行くはめになり、食べ物がもう残っていない！という心配は全くないのですが、待たされてとてもお腹がすいてしまいました。

ロケーションとしては、私はキングカメハメハコナビーチホテルに泊まったので、行くのが楽で良かったです。目の前が海というのも良かったです。

あと一つ気になったのが、入場時の記念撮影。オアフ島のパラダイスコーブルアウの時はダンサーの人も一緒に写真に入ってくれてとても華やかな仕上がりだったのですが、このアイランドブリーズルアウはただ客を立たせて写すだけ。しかも背景もただの垣根。素人のデジカメ同然でした。もちろんその写真は買いませんでした。

ということで、ルアウを体験したことがなくハワイ島にしか行かれない方には「まぁ行ってみるのも良いでしょう」程度のお勧め度ですが、オアフ島にも行かれる方は是非ポリネシアカルチャーセンターかパラダイスコーブルアウをお勧めします。

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＞

I couldn't see the dolphins... イルカがみれなかった・・・

Reviewed by: かずと

A beautiful boat, American-style breakfast and lunch, and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters! Most participants were Westerners, and we were the only Japanese, but it was actually fun to communicate in broken English. However, I was quite disappointed that we didn't see the dolphins we were hoping for... The captain did his best to find them, but it's just luck, so there's nothing we can do about it. Since I do scuba diving, just being on the surface isn't quite enough for me (laughs).

きれいな船、アメリカンな朝食＆昼食、そして透明度抜群な海でのシュノーケリング！参加者は欧米人がほとんどで、日本人は私たちだけでしたが、かえって片言英語でのコミュニケーションが楽しかったです。ただ、目当てだったイルカが見れなかったのでかなりがっかり・・・。船長さんは一生懸命探してくれたんですけどね。これは運だから仕方が無いです。私はスキューバダイビングをやるんで、やはり水面だけでは物足りないですね（苦笑）
