One of the things I want to try in Hawaii!
I highly recommend it to everyone!
It's been decades since I last went into the ocean (laughs). No need to worry, it's all good.
Even if you can't swim well, they will guide you to the points.
Thanks to the attentive care of the staff, I was able to meet the dolphins.
It seems that there was a massive occurrence that day (is that the right expression?)...
Daisuke and the staff said, "Don't expect to see this many dolphins all the time. It's a rare day when this happens a few times a year!"
It was a series of great excitement.
I was thrilled to see the dolphins dancing and even flying above the water's surface (about 2 meters away)!
I wished I could swim freely.
I was also able to hear the dolphins' calls.
Thank you, Daisuke, YUKO, and all the staff for this wonderful encounter.
Thank you very much! m(__)m
ハワイ島でやってみたい事のひとつ!!
皆さんにお薦めのひとつ!
海の中に入るなんて何十年ぶり(笑) ご心配ありません。大丈夫です。
上手く泳げなくても、手を引いてポイントに連れて行ってくださいます。
スタッフの方々の細やかな気遣いに助けられ、イルカちゃん達に 出会えました。
どうやら、この日は大量発生(表現がおかしい?)だったようで…
ダイスケさんをはじめスタッフの方は「いつもこんなにたくさん出会えると思わないで。年に数回の大量の日ですよ」
と、言っていたほど !! 大興奮の連続。
イルカのダンスも、、水面を飛んでる姿(2m位の至近距離)も見ることが出来 感激!!
自分が自由に泳げたら と 思いました。
イルカちゃん達の鳴き声も聞くことができました。
ダイスケさん、YUKOさん、スタッフの皆さん 素敵な出会いに感謝いたします。
ありがとうございましたm(__)m

Wow we saw momma baby and daddy humpbacks was saw whales all around us their tales were enormous it was the best day. We went mid morning the catamaran was spacious and very comfortable. Easy to board. The crew was very informative and friendly they were just as excited with all the action around us. We went in February 2015. I would highly recommend this tour.
Mahalo for providing us with feedback about your Whale Watch Cruise. We're really glad you enjoyed the cruise, the boat, and the crew and got to see a lot of whales! We appreciate your recommendation and hope we have the opportunity to share adventures with you again!

On the day of my arrival in Hawaii, I was feeling jet-lagged and didn't have the energy to move around, so I decided to stay at the King Kamehameha Hotel. At first, it was enjoyable, but as the evening progressed, it got a bit chilly for the beach show, and the food was just average. I started to get bored with the show. The dancing was beautiful, but the time spent listening to the host talk while the dancers changed backstage was very dull. I guess it really is a language barrier...
ハワイ到着当日は時差ぼけもあるため動く気にもならず宿泊がキングカメハメハホテルだったので申し込みをしました。最初は楽しかったのですが、ビーチでのショーのため夕方少し涼しいのがだんだん寒くなり、ご飯も普通だしショーも飽きてしまいました。踊りは素敵だったのですが、ダンサーが裏で着替える間の時間稼ぎに司会者がしゃべるこの時間がとてもつまらなかったです。やはり言葉の壁ですかね・・・
Dear Kaori Moriya,
Thank you for visiting the Island Breeze Luau. I hope you are doing well despite the chilly weather and any fatigue you may have experienced.
I wish to create a luau show that can overcome any language barriers.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

On the day of our arrival, we booked a manta ray tour and were so impressed that we immediately requested a dolphin tour for the next day. Our guide, Daisuke, had a wonderful love for dolphins, and I was completely immersed in that world. I want to swim with the dolphins just like Daisuke does!
When I go back to the Big Island, I will definitely ask for your services again.
It's been six months, but I still can't forget that amazing experience.
到着日にマンタツアーを予約し、感動し、その場で翌日のイルカツアーのお願いをしました。
ガイドのダイスケさんのイルカに対する愛が素晴らしく、その世界観にどっぷりはまってしまいました。ダイスケさんのように、すいすい~とイルカちゃんと一緒に泳ぎたい!!

もう半年たちましたが、あの感動は忘れられません。
I apologize for the delayed response to your comment from a few months ago, but I am incredibly happy to hear you say, "I won't forget that excitement even after six months." Please make sure to practice a little snorkeling next time. You'll enjoy the dolphin tour even more. Aloha!

I participated with my wife and our middle school son, and we were extremely satisfied with the tour as we were able to see not only dolphins but also the whales we had dreamed of.
Since we were dealing with wild dolphins, we first had to search for them, but right after departing, we quickly spotted a pod of dolphins. Our excitement was palpable. Captain Nawata and Daisuke, who was in charge of snorkeling, accurately assessed the points and, following their signals, we entered the water to find an unexpected number of dolphins right in front of us. They didn’t forcefully approach the dolphins; instead, they read their movements and positioned the boat where the dolphins were likely to pass. We were able to see over 100 dolphins up close. At times, they swam joyfully just 1 or 2 meters away from us, which was an incredible experience.
This time of year is suitable for whale watching, and while searching for dolphins, we also got to see whales spouting quite close by. Whales are strictly protected, so we couldn’t approach them, but again, the professionals did a great job. We were able to see the whales up close. The highlight was hearing the sounds of the whales while snorkeling. It was such a lovely sound!
There seem to be similar tours available, but I’ve heard that some groups have poor manners, and on the day of our tour, the Coast Guard was conducting inspections. Aloha Kona Tours, the company we participated with, gave the impression of having a solid policy and experience in this regard, which made us feel very safe and able to enjoy ourselves.
However, my son had a tough time with seasickness. Fortunately, there were no other groups that day, so they were able to take breaks according to my son's condition, which helped him recover. I think it’s best for those who are prone to seasickness to take medication beforehand. My son looked quite uncomfortable, but he managed to hang in there until the end thanks to the sight of the dolphins and whales and the warm support from the staff.
We would definitely love to participate again.
妻と中二の息子と3人で参加しましたが、イルカだけでなく夢だったクジラも見ることができ、とにかく大満足のツアーでした。
相手は野生のイルカですので、まずどこにいるのかを探すことになりますが、出港直後すぐにイルカの群れを発見。期待がいやがおうにも盛り上がります。ツアーに同行してくれたキャプテンの縄田さん、シュノーケリングを担当するダイスケさんが的確にポイントを判断し、合図に合わせて海に入ると想像以上のイルカたちの群れが目の前に。決して無理やりイルカに近づくのではなく、彼らの動きを読んであらかじめ彼らが通ると思われる位置に船を止め、海に入ったところをイルカたちが通過していくのですが、やはりプロですね。合計100頭以上のイルカたちを間近に見ることができました。近い時は1、2mという距離まで近いところを楽しげに泳いでいくイルカたち、最高の経験でした。
この時期はホエールウオッチングに適した時期ということもあり、イルカを探す間にもかなり近くでクジラが潮を吹く姿が観れました。クジラも厳しく保護されていますので、こちらからクジラに近づくことはできないのですが、やはりプロですね。かなり近くでクジラを見ることができました。圧巻だったのはシュノーケリングの時にクジラの声が聞こえたことです。すごく愛おしい声でしたよ!
同じようなツアーは他にもあるようですがマナーが悪い団体もあるらしく、当日もCoast Guardが取り締まりを行っていました。今回参加したAloha kona Toursさんは、その点しっかりとしたポリシーと経験をお持ちという印象で、とても安心して楽しめました。
ただ、息子が船酔いで大変でした。今回は幸い他のグループがいなかったので、息子の状況に合わせて途中で休憩をとっていただけたので持ち直しましたが、酔いやすい方はやはり酔い止めを飲んでいかれた方がよいと思います。息子もかなり辛そうでしたが、イルカやクジラの姿とスタッフの方々の温かい対応で最後まで頑張ることができました。
また是非、参加させていただきます。
I apologize for the late response. Thank you for your kind words; I am truly honored. The whales have already started to return to Alaska, and they are hardly seen in the ocean now. You were lucky to come during the whale season. Hearing the sounds of whales in the ocean is a rare experience in everyday life in Japan. Next time, please be sure to bring some motion sickness medication, and we look forward to your visit again. Aloha.
遅いご返事となってしまい失礼しました。お褒めのお言葉を有難うございました。恐縮の思いです。クジラはもうアラスカへ帰り始めて海に出てもすっかり見かけなくなりました。
丁度、鯨のシーズンに来られてラッキーでしたね。 海の中で鯨の声を聞けることは日本の生活の中ではまずないでしょうから、貴重な経験をなさいましたね。
次回は、是非酔い止めをご用意の上、また遊びにいらして下さいね。スタッフ一同楽しみにしております。アロハ

Two years ago, I was so moved during my first participation that I wanted to meet the dolphins again, so this is my second time.
This time, they mentioned that the waves were rolling and the sea's transparency wasn't great, so if we could see the dolphins at all, it meant they were quite close. However... it was incredible! There were so many dolphins, and they were super close. They are just so cute... it was the best.
It seemed like the dolphins were enjoying themselves, as if they understood our guide, Daisuke. The photos he took of us from underwater turned out beautifully, and I was really touched.
Last time was in October, but this time in January, we also had the chance to see whales, and even though they were far away, we did spot some... Thank you to Captain Nawata for searching so hard for them.
I will definitely go back to be healed again. Of course, I will also go to see the manta rays.
2年前の初参加で感動して、またイルカちゃんに会いたくて2回目の参加です。
今回は、波がうねっているということで、海の透明度がいまいちなのでイルカちゃんの姿が少しでも見えたらかなり近くにいると思ってくださいね。ということでしたが・・・
とんでもない、めちゃめちゃ近くにたくさんのイルカちゃん。やっぱりかわい~・・・最高です。
ガイドのダイスケ君のことをわかっているようで、イルカちゃんも楽しんでいるようでしたよ。海の中からダイスケ君が撮ってくれた私たちの写真も素敵に撮れていて感動です。
前回は10月でしたが今回は1月でクジラちゃんに会うこともあるということで、遠くでしたがクジラちゃんの姿も・・・キャプテンの縄田さん一生懸命探してくださってありがとうございました。
また癒されに行きます。もちろんマンタちゃんにも会いに行きます。
Thank you for joining us for the second time. We are very happy to hear your comment, "It's so cute!" It really conveys your feelings. We have many repeat customers, with some participating up to eight times. We hope you will join us again. Each time, the conditions of the ocean and dolphins are different, so you probably won't get bored. (Daisuke's comment) We look forward to seeing you again. Aloha.
2回目のご参加という事で、リピートして下さって有難うございました。「やっぱりかわい〜」とのコメントが実感が伝わり我々も凄く嬉しいです。

We participated as a couple. Since we had a rental car, we joined the local meeting plan. I mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place, but it seemed to be a common issue, and they came to check on us, so we arrived safely.
I usually get seasick easily, but for some reason, I was completely fine this time. Before swimming with the dolphins, we spotted whales two or three times, and one of those times, we were able to see them incredibly close.
We found the main group of dolphins! Everyone quickly got ready, and they were really close!! We could swim within reach of them, and we did so multiple times. There were participants who weren't great swimmers, but our guide, Daisuke, escorted them. Since we could swim relatively freely, those who were good at swimming could enjoy themselves.
It was truly a fun tour, and I felt like I could swim forever! Captain Nawata and guide Daisuke are both very knowledgeable about the ocean, whales, and dolphins. If I visit the Big Island again, I will definitely participate again.
夫婦2人で参加してきました。レンタカーがあったので、現地集合プランで参加。集合場所を間違っていましたが、よくあることのようでそこまで見に来ていただき無事到着できました。
すぐ船酔いする私ですが、このときはなぜかまったく平気でした。
イルカと泳ぐまでにも、クジラを2~3回見れ、そのうち1回はものすごく近くで見ることができました。
メインのイルカも群れで発見!すぐにみんなで準備をして、ほんとに間近!!
手を伸ばせば届く範囲で泳ぐことができました。それも何度も。
泳ぎの苦手な参加者の方もいらっしゃいましたが、ガイドのダイスケさんがエスコートしてくれます。ある程度自由に泳げるので、泳ぎの得意な方はそれぞれ泳げます。
ほんとに楽しいツアーでいくらでも泳いでいたい気持ちでいっぱいでした!
船長の縄田さん・ガイドのダイスケさんも海・クジラ・イルカちゃんを知り尽くしている方々です。
またハワイ島を訪れたら、必ず参加すると思います。
I usually get seasick, but I think I was okay this time because I was so absorbed in swimming with the dolphins. I'm glad I could see them up close. One of our mottos is to provide the closest and longest viewing experience, so please come visit us again. I look forward to reuniting with both of you. Aloha.
普段は船酔いするのに、今回大丈夫だったのは、イルカと泳ぐのに夢中になられたからだと思います。

I participated on the last day. In the morning, we got on the boat, and there were many people from overseas who were excited, shouting "Yay!!!" when the whales appeared. My experience during the New Year was just the beginning, but from now until around March, humpback whales will be migrating south to Hawaii, so they can be seen quite well. The lookout staff and the captain pointed out, "Over there!" As we moved closer, we saw a mother and calf, along with various other forms, spouting water and showing their tails as they dove... Towards the end, they chased the boat and swam underneath it. Such an experience is hard to come by, but those who are prone to seasickness should be careful.
最終日に参加しました。
午前中にふねにのりましたが、海外からの方が多くクジラが出てくると
のりのりで『イエ〜〜〜〜〜〜イ!!」
私の行った年末年始はまだ序の口のようですがこの後3月くらいまでハワイではザトウくじらが散乱の為に南下してきますからよく見えます。
見張り役の方々とキャプテンがあの辺り!火事を進めて行くと2匹親子で、雄のみなど様々な形態で
潮を吹き尻尾を見せて潜ったり・・・・最後の方は船を追いかけてくぐって行きました。
こんな体験はなかなか出来ませんが、船酔いする方は注意してくださいね

On the day we participated, our swim guide was Mr. Nawata and the boat captain was Mr. Taka. Both of them were experts in the ocean and very reliable.
I have some experience with snorkeling and diving, but my niece, who traveled with me, was doing it for the first time and seemed anxious at first. However, she quickly got used to it and started enjoying herself. Mr. Nawata and Mr. Taka understand the behavior and movements of dolphins very well, so as long as you listen to their advice on what to do in the water, you'll be fine.
In the water, Mr. Nawata pulled my arm, allowing me to see the dolphins up close. Their determination to ensure that participants definitely see dolphins was palpable. We saw dolphins everywhere, both near the surface and close to the seabed. Dolphins are really cute; I found them endearing.
Later, when I talked to various tour guides and restaurant staff about participating in Mr. Nawata's dolphin tour, everyone said, "Mr. Nawata is the best dolphin expert on the Big Island!" I will definitely join Mr. Nawata's tour again next time.
Also, on that day, Captain Taka mentioned that he also does scuba diving, so I spoke with him on the phone after this tour. Unfortunately, our schedules didn't match this time, but I hope to ask Mr. Taka for scuba diving next time.
Thank you, Mr. Nawata and Mr. Taka, for your help. I'm looking forward to next time. Thank you!

First of all, I think you shouldn't expect too much from the meals. Also, my husband and I both didn't understand much English, so we couldn't follow what the host was saying and couldn't keep up with the atmosphere in the venue. Additionally, when we took a dinner cruise later, there was a similar show, so if you are considering participating in both, it might not be necessary. Furthermore, many hotels host similar shows every other day, so you might be able to experience the atmosphere just by passing by without going out of your way to see it.
まず食事はあまり期待しないほうがいいかと思います。
また、私たち夫婦は二人共あまり英語がわからなかったので、司会の人が話されていることは全然理解できず、会場内のノリについていけませんでした。
また、後日ディナークルーズに乗船した際、同じような内容のショーがあったのでもし両方参加を検討されているようでしたら必要ないかと思います。
また、ホテルによっては同じようなショーが隔日くらいのペースで開催されているところも多いので、わざわざ見に行かなくても通りがかり程度で雰囲気は味わえるかもしれません。

I have also done dolphin swimming in Mikurajima, but the sea was deep and the waves were rough, so I couldn't really see the dolphins. The color of the sea in Hawaii Island is very beautiful with the light shining through, and you can float easily. I was moved to see the dolphins up close and hear their voices. Luckily, there were also three mantas! I was able to swim leisurely with them.

This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.
We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!
Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.
1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)
2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!
3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)
At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.
Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.
Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)
今回はハワイ島に夫婦で6日間の滞在でした。
VELTRAさんの「高級バン(メルセデス・ベンツ)で行く!世界遺産キラウエアとマウナケア山麓星空観測(1日で火山と星 ♪)デラックスツアーby カイラニ・ツアーズ・ハワイ」しかツアーは申し込んでいなかったので、ハワイの雰囲気を堪能するためにこのプランも申し込みました。
参加して大正解でした!
口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。
1.まずはクーポンの受付
写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
集合場所を教えてくれます。(この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。)
この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
(ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。)
2.集合場所や目印
これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
専用受付の人は17時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意!
約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、20分ぐらいしたら行列
になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ!
3.内容
行列に並んだあと、無料レイ(有料例は購入しませんでした)を受けもらって撮影後
(会場で売りに来ます)、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
してもらいます。
私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。(日本語で他人
と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです)
会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。
1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。
ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。(お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ!)
Thank you for coming to the Island Breeze Luau Show.
And above all, we are filled with gratitude for your warm message.
We appreciate the love we receive from everyone and the opportunity to work in the Hawaiian breeze.
Our hotel staff and dancers always strive to ensure that everyone enjoys their experience, but due to the influence of returning guests and reviews, we have noticed that many guests line up very early before the reception starts. Therefore, this year we have changed the lineup location from the beachside to the cooler hotel interior.
Receiving comments like yours and such thoughtful explanations inspires us to think of better improvements and motivates us to ensure everyone has a great time.
If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, please stop by. We will always be waiting to deliver warm breezes and aloha.
この度はアイランドブリーズルアウショーにお越しくださりありがとうこざいました。
そして何よりも心温まるメッセージを投稿して頂き、
ハワイの風、皆様からの愛情を受けることのできる私たちの仕事に
感謝の気持ちでいっぱいでございます。
どのお席でも楽しんで頂けるよう
ホテルスタッフも、ダンサーも常に心がけておりますが
毎年楽しみに来てくださる方、また口コミもご覧になっていただいてる影響で
受付開始のお時間よりとても早くお並び頂いていることもあり
昨年まではビーチサイドでお並び頂いていたのを今年から涼しいホテル内に
変更させていただきました。
頂くコメントやこのようにご丁寧なご説明を頂けると、
より良い改善策を考え、楽しんで頂けるよう
私たちもまた努めるきっかけとなっております。
またハワイ島にお越しになる機会がございましたら、是非お立寄りくださいませ。
温かい風とalohaをお届けできるよういつまでもお待ちしております。

I was able to sit in the front row when I arrived on time.
The show featured wonderful hula dancing, powerful male fire performances, and a packed schedule that made the time fly by.
The food was served buffet-style, which allowed me to adjust the amount I ate, and I thought that was great. The taste was fairly good.
集合時間通りに行ったら、一番前の席に座ることができました。
ショーの内容は素敵なフラダンス、
迫力満点の男性の火を使ったダンスと盛りだくさんの内容であっという間の時間でした。
お料理はブュッフェで、自分が食べる量を調節できたのでよかったと思います。味はそれなりに美味しかったです。

I reported that I couldn't swim, but they told me it would be fine since I was wearing a wetsuit, so I went into the sea. I was scared, but I managed without any floatation devices.
"Over here! More towards the shallow area! Out to the open water!" I desperately followed the instructions of the swim guide, Daisuke. He even helped pull me along at times. I was able to swim a little with the dolphins and even hear their sounds.
There were some people who looked like they were suffering from seasickness, so I think it would be wise to take motion sickness medication just to be safe.
「泳げません~」と申告しましたが、ウェットスーツ着てるんだから大丈夫大丈夫、と云われ、そのまま海へ。怖かったけど、確かに浮き具なしでもなんとかなりました。
「こっちこっち」「もっと浅瀬へ」「沖の方へ」、スイムガイドのDaisukeさんの指示に必死に従って泳ぎます。Daisukeさんに引っ張ってもらえたりもしました。ちょっとだけイルカと一緒に泳げて、声も聞くことができました。
船酔いしている方もいらして辛そうだったので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が安心かなと思います。

I have seen the Hilton Luau three times so far. This time, the Hawaiian show felt fresh with younger performers. I had a great time participating from the front row.
今までに3回ヒルトンのルアウを見ました。今回のハワイアンショウーは構成メンバーも若く新鮮に感じました。一番前の席で大変楽しく参加させていただきました。

I participated alone and felt a bit anxious, but with Daisuke's guidance, I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the ocean after a long time. A pod of dolphins came to us, and it was an experience like no other; I was incredibly moved.
1人参加で、不安もありましたが、ダイスケさんのガイドで、とても楽しく、久しぶりの海を満喫しました。イルカの群れも、たくさん来てくれて、今まで味わった事がないほどの感動でした。

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。
Dear Sakamai,
Thank you very much for attending the Luau show. I imagine it must have been quite challenging in the rain, but in Hawaii, we consider it a blessing. It means "the rain washes away the town, the people, and the hearts, making everything clean." We proceeded with the show with smiles, and it warms my heart to hear that you have good memories of it.
The show at the King Kamehameha Hotel received high praise, and it is a place we hold very dear in our long-standing relationship. We hope you will visit us again. It would be wonderful for us if you could enjoy plenty of food and drinks!
With Aloha.
サカマイ様
この度はルアウショーにお越し頂き誠にありがとうございました。
雨の中、とても大変だったのでは。。。と思いますが、ハワイでは祝福の雨。
「町も人も心もきれいに洗い流してくれる・・・」という意味がございます。そのまま笑顔でショーを進行させていただきましたが、
良い思い出とおっしゃってくださり、心がほっとする想いです。
キングカメハメハホテルでのショーは高い評価を頂き、私たちも長いお付き合いの中とても大切にしている場所です。
是非またお越し下さい。食事も、お飲物も、たくさんお召し上がりいただけると私たちも最高です!
Alohaを込めて。

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〜(*^_^*)
Dear Mami Mami,
Thank you very much for attending our dinner show. For us, who love Hawaii and Polynesia, it is a great joy to share the beauty of our hearts, the land, and our traditions through dance with everyone.
During the show, our host provided explanations of the story, hula lessons, and activities, as well as traditional dishes, to help everyone enjoy the experience even more. We tried to express ourselves as much as possible through gestures, even when language barriers existed, all while ensuring that you could relax and enjoy your time with us, which is an important role for us as your hosts. Thank you for your valuable words; we are deeply grateful.
We are currently creating a pamphlet that we can share with everyone in Japan. We hope that next time, we can be even closer to you, Mami Mami, and that you will enjoy the show even more. Our team was born in Polynesia and has deep connections with people from Japan.
Although it's just a little, some of us have learned Japanese, and the male fire dancer loves "shabu-shabu." After the show, greeting everyone and taking photos is one of the dancers' joys, so please feel free to speak to us in Japanese☆.
We look forward to the day we can meet again. With Aloha.
マミマミ様
この度は、ディナーショーにお越しくださり誠にありがとうございました。ハワイそしてポリネシアの地を愛する私達にとって、
皆様に心や大地の美しさ、そして伝統を踊りを通してお伝えできることは何よりも幸せなことでございます。
ショーでは司会の者が、皆様によりよく楽しんでいただけるようショーのストーリー、フラレッスンなどのアクティビティや伝統料理の説明をさせて頂いておりました。ユーモアをもって言葉が通じなくでも!と思いながらできるだけジェスチャーで表現をしているですが、やはりごゆっくりおくつろぎ頂けるよう努めるのも
私どもがお迎えする大切な役割です。貴重なお言葉を頂きありがとうございました。深く感謝申し上げます。
現在日本の皆様にお渡しできるパンフレットを作成中です。是非、次回はマミマミ様ともっと親しくそしてショーも楽しんでいただけるようチーム一同ハワイでお待ちしたいと思っております。私たちチームはポリネシアの地で生まれ、また日本の方々とも深いつながりを持っています。
少し・・・ですが、日本語も習ったり、ファイヤーダンスの男性は『しゃぶしゃぶ』が大好きです。ショーの後皆さんにご挨拶をしたり、写真を撮る時間もダンサーの楽しみの一つですので、是非日本語で声をかけてみてください☆。
またお会いできる日を心待ちにしております。Alohaを込めて。

I was worried right after the big canoe race, but I guess I was lucky. I was able to see them multiple times. At first, they were swimming in the deep water, but after diving a few times, they gradually came closer. I was very satisfied.
大カヌーレースの直後で心配でしたが、ラッキーだったのでしょう。何度も見ることができました。最初は、深いところを泳いでイルカでしたが、何度か潜っているうちにだんだん近くに。大満足でした。

The captain chose a spot with high visibility and let us swim with the dolphins. When the dolphins swam close, the guide raised his arm to signal us. They took plenty of time and made an effort to find the dolphins, so I'm glad I chose this tour. After reading this experience, I mistakenly thought Daisuke would be the guide, so it was a bit disappointing that he was on a different boat.
キャプテンが透明度が高そうな所を選んで、イルカと泳がせてくれました。イルカが泳いでくると、ガイドさんが腕をあげて、合図してくれます。
たっぷり時間をかけて、ねばってイルカを探してくれるので、こちらのツアーにしてよかったです。
こちらの体験談をみて、ダイスケさんがガイドだと思いこんでいたので、ダイスケさんが別のボートに乗られたのだけが残念でした。
