Legends of Hawaii Luau Dinner Show with Open Bar at Hilton Waikoloa Village
Did I get this from temu?
Activity Date: 2026/04/05 | Posted on: 2026/04/07

When you pay $250 for a luau, you kind of expect something fabulous and I honestly felt like I bought this on Temu. We got super cheap shell lays, and and parents were letting their kids run everywhere and even standing up and stepping in front of you as you’re trying to take a photo, the visibility was poor from our seat seats. The pork was so dry. The only good thing was the unlimited drinks however the drink selection was limited and so sugary. Honestly, I’ve never wanted my money back so bad in my entire life.

Top notch experience
Activity Date: 2026/04/01 | Posted on: 2026/04/03

This was our 1st time to the big island and this was our 1st time snorkeling. The captain and the crew were all exceptional and pretty funny at times. The vessel was clean and the cruise was smooth. We had 2 areas we stopped to snorkel and get a little history lesson. Breakfast and lunch was very tasty and well timed. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for my family.

Wonderful experience
素晴らしい体験
Activity Date: 2026/03/23 | Posted on: 2026/03/26

I was moved by how many times the manta rays passed by nearby. It's close to the pier, and since you just float, even children can easily participate.

何回も近くをマンタが通ってくれ感動しました。桟橋から近いし、浮いてるだけなので子供でも簡単に参加できます。

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>
There are many mantas.
マンタがたくさん
Activity Date: 2026/03/08 | Posted on: 2026/03/18

We moved to a spot where we could see manta rays while watching the sunset. Since a staff member who spoke Japanese accompanied us, I felt at ease. While floating around during snorkeling, a manta ray suddenly appeared right below me. It got so close that I could almost reach out and touch it, and I was extremely excited!

夕日を見ながらマンタの見えるポイントへ移動。日本語の話せるスタッフが同行してくれたので、安心。シュノーケリングでぷかぷか浮いていると突然真下にマンタが出現。手を伸ばせば触れそうな距離まで接近で大興奮でした。

Mind blowing tour! Incredible crew: friendly, professional, knowledgeable, well prepared. The experience of a lifetime. Huge manta rays, swimming all around us! Gentle giants. Feeding on the plankton attracted to the lights. I know the crew told us that experiences may vary in numbers of mantas seen, but we were extremely lucky and saw close up mantas almost the entire time!

Volcano Highlights Tour, Rainbow Falls, Black Sand Beach, Coffee Farm with Meals
Girls trip 2026
Activity Date: 2026/03/04 | Posted on: 2026/03/10

Terrific experience! Derek was a wonderful guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional! Gave a preview of events, a timeline, and kept to the schedule.
The tour took us to places we probably wouldn't have gone to on our own. We saw turtles on the beautiful black sand beach, enjoyed a walk around the coffee farm with delicious samples. Spent time at Rainbow Falls. Enjoyed cookies at a local bakery. Plenty of opportunities along the way to pickup meaningful, local souvenirs.
But my favorite stops were in Volcano National Park. The caldera was amazing. No spouting lava but lots of smoking vents. The steam vents were amazing as well. Lunch at the cafe was well organized and tasty. The view from the restaurant was great. Beautiful vistas along the route. What more could you ask for???

You need to do something about large groups that get very drunk, are disrespectful towards the event and its participants. Loved the show but it was a distraction and didn’t allow us to enjoy the whole show experience.

The hula dance was very beautiful and relaxed, which eased my mind. The flowing dresses that matched the movements and the graceful fingertips were elegant. The Tahitian dance was powerful and impressive. I really enjoyed the Hawaiian atmosphere. I'm glad I came to see it.

Dancing myself was fun, even though it was just for a short time during the meal. Many people left during the cool time when they took a break for dinner, but since the dance continued until 8 PM, I was happy to see it until the end.

If you're staying at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Hotel, I recommend going to see it.

フラダンスはとても美しくゆったりとしていて心が和らぎました。動きに合わせて流れるようなドレスも、滑らかな指先も優美でした。タヒチアンダンスは迫力があって圧巻でした。ハワイ気分を満喫できました。見に来てよかったです。
自分でダンスをするのは、食事の席で短い時間でしたが楽しかったです。
途中で食事時間を取るクールタイムに帰ってしまう人が大勢いましたが、20時までダンスはあるので最後まで見れて良かったです。
ヒルトンワイコロアビレッジホテルに泊まるなら、見に行く事をお勧めします。

Even if you have a priority reservation, it's better to arrive earlier than the meeting time to get an even better seat. If you're sensitive to alcohol, it's definitely best not to drink. It would be

優先予約をしていても集合時間より早く行ったほうがさらに前のいい席に着けます。アルコールに弱い方は絶対に飲まないほうがいいです。眠くなったり、気分が悪くなって、ダンスを見逃したらもったいないです。

How often can you get a kiss from a dolphin!? For me, this is once in a lifetime experience.. at least until I I come back and do it again!! The dolphins were great to interact with, our dolphin handler really ensured we all had time to interact with the dolphins. And Jennifer made sure that we understood how to appropriately interact with them. Always wonderful when animal handlers ensure the welfare and safety of the animal is a priority.

Activity Date: 2026/02/04 | Posted on: 2026/02/07

We had a free afternoon on the Big Island and wanted to check out the Waipio Valley. After a little research, we found that the only way for non-locals to visit was with an official guide. The Waipio shuttle is a custom vehicle designed to safely navigate the tricky terrain - including steep grade and crossing shallow rivers. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! Not only could he expertly drive us where we needed to go, but he also offered to take photos at each beautiful stop. This was a highlight of our trip!

Things to Do in Big Island in 2026 – Tours & Activities | HawaiiActivities.com
Big Island tours and activities perfect for children ages five to seven. Snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, stargazing near Mauna Kea, glass-bottom boat rides, and horseback riding through Kohala ranch lands open up a world of discovery. Guided volcano hikes, waterfall visits to Akaka Falls, and catamaran cruises along the Kona coast keep young explorers engaged. These experiences blend hands-on learning with outdoor fun across one of the most geologically diverse islands on the planet.
