I was satisfied to learn about the history and connections through the dances of the Pacific Islands. The fire dance was truly impressive!

太平洋の島々の踊りを通じて、歴史、繋がりを知ることが出来て満足しました。ファイヤーダンスは見応え十分です！

I was quite worried about getting seasick before participating, but it turned out to be fine! Once we got out into the open sea, the wind picked up and it started to sway a bit. Whether or not you get seasick also depends on your physical condition, and I thought I might be tired from my last day in Hawaii, so I took some motion sickness medication beforehand. During the hour and a half cruise, I started by sitting down and had one Mai Tai. After finishing that, I moved away from my seat for a bit to take some photos and then had one more Mai Tai. Everyone was ordering more Mai Tais. There were also juices and Budweiser beer available. Everyone was enjoying drinks, conversation, and taking photos, and I really got to experience an American vibe. It was a lot of fun!

参加するまでは、酔わないかなと随分心配していたのですが、これくらいなら大丈夫でした！確かに外洋に出ると風も出てきて、揺れてきましたけど。
酔う酔わないは体調にもよりますので、私はハワイ最終日の疲れもあると思ったので、酔い止めの薬は飲んでおきました。1時間半のクルージング、最初は座って、マイタイを1杯飲み、飲み終わってから少し席を離れて、写真を取り、もう1杯だけマイタイを頂きました。皆さんどんどんマイタイをおかわりされてましたね。ジュースとビールバドワイザーもありました。お酒と会話と写真撮影を皆さん堪能されていて、アメリカンな気分を味わえました。とても楽しかったです！

Before coming here, I accidentally handed over the reservation confirmation sheet from the illusion show, so I could only confirm it on my smartphone screen. However, the staff were very kind and accommodating. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy delicious hot chicken and crispy nachos, as well as a burger. Thank you very much!

此処へ来る前に行った、イリュージョンショーで予約確認の用紙を一緒に渡してしまいスマホの画面で確認する事しか出来なかったのに、スタッフの方々が親切に応じて下さいました。
お陰様で、熱々の美味しいチキンやカリカリのナチョス･バーガーたっぷりいただく事が出来ました✌本当に有難うございました

Due to bad weather, the scheduled dolphin snorkeling tour was canceled, and I decided to quickly go to this Polynesian show that I had been somewhat interested in for a while. Ultimately, while it was very disappointing not to swim with the dolphins, I truly felt that it was wonderful to be able to attend such an amazing show that made me forget that regret.

Since I participated in a tour that included only dinner and the show, I didn't have time to explore the entire park, but it seemed to have better facilities than I expected, so I think it would be enjoyable to come during the day as well.

Additionally, my advice would be to try to sit as close to the stage as possible when watching such shows. If you're seated in the front, you can experience the real Polynesian show at a distance where you can feel the performers' breath and the energy of their movements.

I highly recommend visiting this place at least once.

悪天候により予定していたイルカシュノーケリングツアーが中止となり、以前より少し気になっていたこのポリネシアンショーに急遽行くことを決定しました。
結果的に、イルカと泳げなかったことは非常に残念でしたが、その無念をかき消してくれるくらい、来ることが出来て本当に良かったと思える素晴らしいショーでした。
参加したのはディナーとショーのみのツアーでしたので、園内全部を周る時間はありませんでしたが、思ったより良い施設のようなので、昼間から来ても楽しめるかと思います。
また、アドバイスをするとすれば、やはりこういったショーを見る場合は、出来る限り舞台の近くの席から見ることをお勧めします。前方の席であれば、演者の息づかいや身体の躍動を感じられるくらいの距離感で本物のポリネシアンのショーを体感できます。
是非一度訪れてみて欲しい場所です。

It was amazing.
This time, we participated as a family of five.
Unfortunately, the sunset was cloudy...
The crew explained everything in English.
I thought all the guests would be English speakers, but about a third of the passengers were Japanese this time.
When boarding, there are waves, so depending on the situation, you might get wet up to your thighs.
The fast-paced English and long explanations were a bit hard to follow, but it all worked out, and the international crowd was lively and fun to be around.
The crew mixed in jokes and kept the atmosphere lively.
For those who enjoy alcohol, it must be even better.
With reggae music playing, there was unlimited Mai Tais, champagne, juice, etc.
However, if you get carried away, you might feel a bit unwell.
The scenery was fantastic. The view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive.
Since we were riding the waves, we got splashed a bit, which was part of the fun.
Once we went a bit offshore, we raised the sails and moved with the wind, so it felt like sailing.
It felt like two canoes connected, so there wasn't much side-to-side rocking,
and I felt safe while on board.
The ride lasted about an hour and a half.
It was quite a hidden gem of a tour.
Next time, we all talked about wanting to wear swimsuits and have a blast during the day.

最高でした。
今回、家族５人での参加でした。
サンセットは残念ながら、曇りだったので...
クルーはすべて英語での説明。
お客さんもすべてと思っていたのですが、
今回は３分の１くらい日本人が乗船していました。
乗船するときは波があるので、場合によっては太ももぐらいまで濡れてしまいます。
早い口調での英語、しかも長い説明でったので、分からないこともありましたが、何とかなるもので、海外の人たちはノリがいいし、一緒に楽しむことがいいと思います。
クルーたちが冗談混じりで、盛り立ててくれるし。
お酒が好きな人にはさらに最高でしょう。
レゲー調の音楽が流れる中で
マイタイ、シャンパン、ジュース、etc...飲み放題。
ただし、調子に乗りすぎると少し気分が悪くなるかも。
景色も最高です。海側からのワイキキの眺めもなかなかのものでした。
波に乗りながら行くので少し水しぶきがかかります。それも楽しみの一つです。
少し沖に出ると帆をあげて、風を受けての進行なので、ヨットそのものです。
カヌーが２連つないだ感じなので、横揺れがあまりなく、
安心して乗っていることができました。
約１時間半の乗船でした。
なかなかの穴場的なツアーでした。
次は、昼に水着を着て思いっきり楽しみたいと
みんなで話していました。

It was a very pleasant atmosphere, with the sea breeze, lovely music, and I was intoxicated by the champagne. The people I was with were all nice, and I had a great time. I want to ride again when I go to Hawaii! ✨

とても雰囲気の良い空間で、海の風と素敵な音楽、シャンパンに酔いしれました。
一緒に乗っていた方も良い方ばかりで、楽しみました。
また、ハワイに行ったら乗りたいです✨

I reserved a ticket because it was highly recommended in Sho Aikawa's book, and I thought, really?? But just as my brother said, it was great!! As soon as I entered the store, a lively Elvis greeted us with a pose. The high level of Elvis's singing, MJ's dancing, the beautiful and fun hula, the impressive fire dance, and the excitement when Elvis came down to the audience to drape leis and scarves over us created a fantastic atmosphere; the hour flew by. Just as Sho Aikawa wrote, I enjoyed a wonderful show. I will definitely go again when I come back to Hawaii!

哀川翔さんの本で、熱く推薦されていたので、ほんと？？と思いながら予約しましたが、兄貴のいうとおり、よかった！！です。お店にはいるや、ギンギンのエルビスがポーズを決めてお出迎え。エルビスの歌唱力の高さ、MJのダンス、フラの美しく楽しい事、ファイアダンスの見事なこと、また、エルビスが客席に降りてきてレイやスカーフをかけてくれるサービスには歓声があがって、大盛り上がり、1時間はあっという間でした。哀川翔さんの書いている通り、素敵なショーを楽しませていただきました。またハワイに来たら行きます！

It was a windy day, so the boat rocked more than I expected, and I almost got seasick. But the sunset and the night view of Waikiki Beach from the sea were so beautiful that I was glad I joined this tour!

風が強い日だったので、思った以上に船が揺れてもう少しで酔ってしまいそうでした。
でも夕日と、海から見たワイキキビーチの夜景がとてもきれいでこのツアーに参加してよかったと思いました！

We participated in the VIP+ Backstage Tour. There were only the two of us on this course! It was a fun and unique experience that gave us a sense of superiority. The delicious cocktails and lobster were amazing! The main dishes—steak, salmon, and truffle potatoes—were all delicious! Unfortunately, since we are not from the Elvis generation, there were many photos of Michael Jackson instead. We enjoyed it from the front row, center seats. The Hawaiian female singer, female dancers, and male dancers were impressive! The dining staff also engaged with us. It felt great. The first photo taken with Elvis was included (which costs 2500 yen if you don't participate in the backstage tour), so it was definitely worth the price.

VIP+バックステージツアーに参加。このコース参加は我々夫婦二人だけ！未体験の初体験で優越感もあって楽しかったです。美味しいカクテル、ロブスター美味しい！メインのステーキ、サーモン、トリュフポテト、全部美味しい！残念ながら、エルビス世代ではないので、やっぱり、マイケル・ジャクソンの写真撮影多数。一番前の中央かぶりつきシートで堪能しました。ハワイアンも女性シンガー、女性ダンサー、男性ダンサー、迫力有り！食事のスタッフも声をかけてくれます。いい感じです。最初にエルビスと撮った写真が含まれていて（バックツアー参加してないと2500円）、価格的には充分な価値有ります。

I participated with my mother.
The reception counter was a bit hard to find, and we were slightly late, but the staff welcomed us warmly.
The captain and the bartender were both very cheerful, and when we went to take photos, they let us hold the ship's wheel and even took pictures of that moment!
On the day of our cruise, it was windy and cloudy, but the sea breeze felt amazing, unlike anything I had experienced before, and the night view of Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful!
The special Mai Tai was very delicious, and the champagne was also great, so they even accommodated us with a Mai Tai and champagne mix, which made both my mother and me very satisfied!
I would like to participate in this tour again on my next trip to Hawaii!

母と2人での参加でした。
受付カウンターがわかりにくく、少し遅れてしまったのですがスタッフの方も快く迎えてくださいました。
船長さんもバーテンの方もとても愉快な方で、写真を撮りに行ったときに船の舵を握らせてくれてその場面の撮影までしてくれました！
乗船日は風が強く曇ってはいたのですが、今までに感じたことのない海の風がとても気持ちよくまた、海からみるワイキキビーチの夜景がとてもきれいでした！
特製のマイタイもとてもおいしく、シャンパンもおいしかったのでマイタイ×シャンパンにも対応していただき、母も私も大満足でした！
また次回のハワイの時もこのツアーに参加したいと思っています！

On October 7th, my wife and I participated during our honeymoon. The location is inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in the heart of Waikiki, which allowed us to enjoy it leisurely after shopping. After checking in, we entered through the VIP entrance and enjoyed a welcome drink and dinner! The food was very good, and there were Japanese staff members, which made us feel at ease! The show featured traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and even an appearance by MJ, which captivated the audience. It was a very exciting and enjoyable time! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

10月7日、新婚旅行中に妻と参加させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあり、ワイキキの中心部ということで買い物終わりにゆっくりと楽しむことができました。
受付を済ませてVIP専用入口から入り、ウエルカムドリンク、夕食を楽しみました！味もとてもよかったうえ、日本人のスタッフもいますので、安心できました！！
ショーは、ハワイの伝統のフラダンスあり、ＭＪ？笑の登場もあり、観客を魅了するショーとなっており、とても盛り上がり、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！

I thought the final bus stop on the way back was Aloha Landing, but I was dropped off at a completely different location and had to walk for about 30 minutes. This was due to a lack of explanation, and I will strongly request that this be addressed in the future.

帰路の最終バス停はアロハランディングと思っていたら、全く違う場所で降ろされ、３０分ほど歩くことになった。説明不足であり今後注意されるよう厳重に申し入れる。

I wasn't quite sure where the shuttle bus stop was, and the travel time was a bit long, which are negative points. But other than that, it was truly wonderful! The food and the show were enjoyable, and time flew by.

送迎バスの乗り場が良くわからないのと、移動時間が少し長い事がマイナスポイント。でもそれ以外は大変すばらしい！
食事もショーも楽しくてアッという間に時間が過ぎました。

I ended up going towards the Sheraton Hotel near Waikiki to get to the meeting point, which made me a bit flustered, but I managed to arrive on time. I enjoyed the night view of Waikiki while sipping on Mai Tais and soft drinks, and then there were the fireworks from Hilton. It was a time to forget about everyday life! It was a bit disappointing that it started to drizzle after the fireworks. The atmosphere around me was lively, with many foreigners engaging in conversation. I don't know why, but it was fun!

乗り場に行くのにシェラトンホテルのワイキキ寄りに行ってしまい慌ててしまいましたが無事に集合時間に間に合いました。マイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらワイキキの夜景を鑑賞、そしてヒルトンの花火。日常を忘れる時間でした！花火後、雨がパラパラと降ってきたのが残念だったかな。周りの雰囲気は外国の方が多く話が盛り上がっていました。なんかわからないけど楽しかったです。

The weather was cloudy, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset I was looking forward to, but the Mai Tai Catamaran was really great. I could see Diamond Head beautifully, and the staff created a wonderful atmosphere. I was alone, but I had a lot of fun. As it got dark, the night view of Waikiki was beautiful.

天気が、曇りだったので、楽しみにしてぃたサンセットは綺麗に見れず、残念でしたが、マイタイカタマラン号は凄く良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたし、スタッフの方も雰囲気を盛り上げてくださり、私は1人でしたが、とても楽しめました。暗くなって、ワイキキの夜景が綺麗でした。

when we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greet us. we then went into the venue for appetizers, which were well presented and very tasty. when we went into the main stage area we could not believe the position of our seat. right in front of the stage. the meal was exquisite and all 4 courses were cooked to perfection. when the show started the production was amazing. it was choreographed like a Broadway show. the Elvis impersonator sounded great and really looked the part. When he went through the crowd during "Suspicious Minds" he kept laughing between lyrics, just like Elvis did in his live performances. a simple touch but excellent attention to detail. We also had a Michael Jackson performer who was also very good and entertaining. His 'Moon Walk' routine was spot on.

Overall it was an exceptional evening out that beat all our expectations

Even the regular seating had great views so it doesn't matter which meal plan you book, just book it you will not be disappointed !!!

Arriving 15 minutes early at the meeting place, I found many tour participants there. Just as I was feeling a bit lost, I heard the clear voice of Kerina, who was wearing a muumuu, and I was able to meet up without any issues. Kerina, reminiscent of Kiyomaro Ayakouji, was an excellent guide, and the bus was filled with laughter. We efficiently visited key points, and I was able to purchase valuable decorations with a warranty, quickly making our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was thrilled to have Kerina as my guide for my first Japanese-language tour. The Polynesian Cultural Center was a place I wanted to visit again on my own due to time constraints. The lunch and dinner were neither particularly good nor bad, but I was moved by the university and palace we were shown before the show. Additionally, I was deeply impressed when I learned about the history of the facility from the volunteer students. I felt very satisfied knowing that what I paid would help the students achieve their goals as I left in the shuttle.

集合場所に15分前に着くと、多くのツアー参加者が居て、迷っていると直ぐにムームーを着たKERINAさんの澄んだ声が聞こえ無事ミート。綾小路きみまろを彷彿とさせるKERINAさんの名ガイドに車内は爆笑の渦に。要所を効率的に回り、貴重な装飾品も保証書付きで安心購入でき、あっという間にポリネシアン文化センターへ。初めての日本語ガイドツアーにKERINAさんが付いてくれて大感激でした。ポリネシアン文化センターは時間不足で今度は個人で来たい施設でした。ランチ、ディナーは可もなく不可もない食事でしたが、ショーの前に案内された大学と宮殿に感動。更にボランティアの学生さんに施設開設の歴史を聞いて大感動。ここで支払ったものが学生さんの目的達成に役立つなら大満足だったと送迎車で後にしました。

The location is the central spot in Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian. When I arrived, there was a hotel staff strike demonstration nearby. I worried about how much inconvenience it would cause for the guests staying there, and feeling down due to the noise, I headed to the venue. When the time came, I was welcomed with fresh hula and Mai Tai drinks. My gloomy mood was instantly lifted, and my excitement for the event reached its peak. I was escorted to the VIP seats by the stage, enjoyed the main dish, and was fully satisfied as the showtime began. The motivation was at its highest during the hula and Elvis shows. Sweet memories of my adolescence resurfaced, and for some reason, tears started flowing uncontrollably! At the exit, I took commemorative photos with the hula girls and Elvis. It was a very satisfying show.

場所はワイキキの中心スポット、ロイヤルハワイアン。ヘーゴッパで向かったところ、周辺ではホテルスタッフのストライキデモ。宿泊のゲストにどれ程の迷惑何だろうか心配し、余りの喧騒に憂鬱になりながら会場へ。時間になると、生フラとマイタイのウエルカムドリンクがお出迎え。憂鬱な気分は即座に払拭され、イベントへの期待感は最高潮へ、ステージサイドのVIP席へエスコートされ、メインディッシュに舌鼓を打ち、腹は満腹で迎えたショータイム。フラやエルビスのショーにモチベーションは最高潮に。思春期の甘い思い出が蘇り、何故か大粒の涙が堰を切って大洪水に！　出口ではフラガールやエルビスと記念写真。大満足のショーでした。

Fun trip with great crew. Need more directions on where to go to start the boat journey.

In the evening, I was picked up in Waikiki and signed up for a buffet and show tour.

It takes about an hour by car from Waikiki to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Of course, you can sleep during the ride, but the Japanese guide explains the buildings and scenery along the way, so we arrived in no time.

The buffet had delicious dishes, and the staff was very attentive, which was great.

The show is in English, but there is a simple explanation during the car ride, and the pamphlet (in Japanese) also provides information, so I think even those who can't speak English at all can enjoy it.

The combat dance is particularly well-regarded, and although I've seen combat dances in other shows before, this one was the best I've experienced.

On the way back, we arrived in Waikiki after 10 PM, and they drop you off right in front of each hotel, but there was no Japanese guide, just the driver. Since we passed our hotel, I was able to communicate a bit in English to ask the driver to stop, and we made it back safely, but it might be a good idea to confirm your name and hotel when getting on.

夕方にワイキキでピックしてもらい、ブッフェとショーのツアーに申し込みました。

ワイキキからポリネシアカルチャーセンターまでは車で1時間ほど。もちろん寝ていても構いませんが、日本人ガイドの方が道中の建物や景色など説明してくれるのであっという間に着きました。

ブッフェはどの料理も美味しく、スタッフの方々もこまめに来てくださりとても良かったです。

ショーは英語ですが、行きの車の中でも簡単に説明があり、パンフレット（日本語）にも説明があるので英語が全くできない方でも楽しめると思います。

そして戦闘の踊りが特に評判との事ですが、これまで他のショーの戦闘の踊りも見たのですが今回の戦闘の踊りがいちばん良かったです。

帰りはワイキキに着くのが22時過ぎるので各ホテル正面まで送っていただけるのですが、日本語ガイドの方はおらずドライバーさんだけです。私達のホテルを通り過ぎたので当方少々ですが英語ができるためドライバーさんにすぐに止めてもらい無事に帰れましたが、乗るときに名前とホテル名は必ず確認した方が良いかもしれません。

Our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center center was truly amazing. We did splurge on the super ambassador ticket. Which was well worth every penny. We spent the day with Tyrone, he was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we understood everything we were watching or listening too. It started to rain and he ran and supplied us all with rain ponchos. Everyone who worked there were friendly, and knowledgeable about their land. We were there for 8 hours and we could have easily have spent several more hours.

It was my first trip to Hawaii in 38 years with my wife. I thought watching the sunset in Hawaii would be wonderful, so I signed up for it. On the boat, we enjoyed unlimited drinks and had a great time. We chatted with a young couple next to us, the breeze felt nice, and we even saw a rainbow, which meant we could come back to Hawaii again. It was the best!

嫁とは38年ぶりのハワイ。ハワイでサンセットは素敵かなと思い申しこみました。
船の上では飲み放題でワイワイ楽しめました。
横の若い夫婦に会話してもらい、風は気持ちいいし、またハワイに来れるという虹も見れたし、最高♪

What an amazing experience, we spent all day at the PCC saw so many different cultures. We saw the church and did all sorts of activities, the only let down was the night show. It dragged for about an hour until it got fun and we saw the fireshow.

The food and staff were excellent. Would like to have seen more of tribal danciing like the Tahiti dance with the drums and the fire danceing .

This was a great experience the food, view and dancing. So well worth it would do it again.

The food was also quite delicious. The weather was nice, and the sunset and fireworks were amazing. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. 😊

ご飯も普通に美味しかった。天気も良くて夕陽も花火も最高。日本語が話せるスタッフがいて、安心して楽しめました(^^)

The weather was perfect.

My companion initially got seasick, but recovered in the second half.

The changing colors of the sky, the different angle of Diamond Head viewed from the ocean side, the cheerful and considerate staff, and the convenient access at an affordable price make this tour highly recommended.

最高の天気でした

連れは最初船酔いしてしまってましたが、後半復活

刻々と変わる空の色、沖側より眺めるいつもと違う角度のダイヤモンドヘッド、陽気で気遣いのあるスタッフ、手頃なお値段でアクセスも便利なこのツアー、おススメです

The number of Japanese participants was relatively small.
All explanations on the ship, including the types of drinks, were in English.
At the drink counter, they would speak slowly, asking, "Champagne? Beer? Mai Tai?" so you won't have any trouble even if you don't understand English.
There was also water and cola (or Pepsi).

My mother, in her 60s, didn't want to get seasick, so she stayed in the center of the ship and didn't drink alcohol. There were also Japanese people who were feeling seasick.

日本人の参加者は割合的に少なかったです。
船の中の説明は飲み物の種類等含め、すべて英語です。
飲み物のカウンターに行けば、「シャンパン？ビール？マイタイ？」など、
ゆっくり話してくれるので、英語がわからなくても困りません。
水とコーラ（かペプシ）もありました。

60代の母は船酔いしたくないので、船の中心部分でアルコール飲まずにしていました。船酔いしている日本人もいました。

If you're in Hawaii, you definitely want to experience marine sports. However, not everyone is able to be very active. But with a catamaran, it's a great option even for those who may not be as mobile. We experienced the evening cruise, and it was wonderful; we didn't have to worry much about sunburn and enjoyed the beautiful sunset while fully taking in the Hawaiian sea. Just be aware that the meeting point can be a bit tricky to find.

ハワイに来たからにはマリンスポーツは経験したいイベント。でも、皆が活発に動ける訳ではないですよね。でも、カタマランなら、そんな人にもお勧めできます。私たちは夕方の便を体験しましたが、日焼けもあまり気にならず、素敵なサンセットを見ながら、ハワイの海を存分に楽しめました。ただ、集合場所は少しわかりにくいので、注意してくださいね。

It didn't shake too much, and the sunset was beautiful, so that was nice. However, all the explanations were in English, so I felt a bit lost. Even though they said it was all-you-can-drink, there were people tipping every time they ordered more, and I wasn't sure what to do. But there were foreigners dancing, and I enjoyed the fun atmosphere overall.

そんなに揺れないし、サンセットは綺麗に見られたので良かった。
が、説明はすべて英語なので、理解できないとうーんʅ（◞‿◟）ʃという感じ。飲み放題と言いながら、お代わりのたびにチップ入れてる人もいて、どうしたら良いのかよくわからなかった(*´Д｀*)
でも、踊り出す外人もいて、楽しい雰囲気は楽しめたので概ね良かった(^-^)
