Hawaii
This was a great trip, but we should have done the whole day - there just wasn't enough time to visit everything. The food was exceptional - every part of the show was fantastic.
Overall the tour was very good with visits to many points of interest around Honolulu in the morning and then tour the PCC in the afternoon. Dinner was quite nice and the "breath of life" show as wonderful!
However, we wish that the driver would let us know that there would not be any time for lunch once inside the PCC as the activities inside the PCC would be jam packed. The bus driver should gave us 15 to 30 more minutes inside the Dole Plantation Center so that we could get a light lunch before we head off to the PCC.
Don't get me wrong, we had a wonderful time at PCC however our guide kept leaving us behind, she moved so quickly thru the crowds that my husband had a hard time keeping up, pushing me in a wheelchair. She would just go on without us. We did not get to experience everything we paid for, the food was medicore, our guide could have cared less but the parade of floats was amazing and the HA breath of life show was an experience of a lifetime.
I participated in a luau workshop with a friend, and we had a variety of experiences! At that time, there were only three of us participants, including a man who joined alone, so it felt very private.
A student named Junya, who was really upbeat, guided us and responded well to our requests for things we wanted to do! Thanks to him, during the mini-show in Tahiti, we got to dance the Tahitian dance on stage with a cool male dancer, and we received a lot of applause from the audience, which made us really happy!
At Ali'i Luau, thanks to the man who participated with us, we were able to experience making poke, which wasn't part of our original tour plan, and it was super delicious and fun!
The show was truly wonderful, and the hour and a half flew by with a break in between! The fire dance was really amazing! My excitement was through the roof.
Since the time was long, I honestly had some concerns about whether it would be enjoyable in Hawaii, but I'm really glad I participated! I had a fantastic time!
友達と2人でﾙｱｳﾜｰｸｼｮｯﾌﾟで参加して、いろいろ体験してきました！
たまたまその時のﾙｱｳ参加者が、私たちと、1人で参加されてる男性の3人だけだったので、めちゃﾌﾟﾗｲﾍﾞｰﾄ感たっぷりでした^^
ﾉﾘの良いｼﾞｭﾝﾔ君という学生さんがｶﾞｲﾄﾞしてくれて、ｱﾚしたいｺﾚしたいっていう私たちの要望にしっかり応えてくれました！
お陰で、TAHITIのﾐﾆｼｮｰでは、舞台の上でかっこいいﾀﾈﾀﾞﾝｻｰさんとﾀﾋﾁｱﾝﾀﾞﾝｽを踊り、お客様からもたくさんの拍手もらえて、めっちゃ幸せでした♪
ｱﾘｲﾙｱｳでは、一緒に参加してた男性のお陰で、本来私たちのﾂｱｰﾌﾟﾗﾝでは体験できないﾎﾟｹ作りも体験できて、めっちゃ美味しかったし楽しかったです！
ｼｮｰは、ほんとに素敵で、休憩挟んでの1時間半もあっという間でした！！
ﾌｧｲｱｰﾀﾞﾝｽは本当に凄いです！ﾃﾝｼｮﾝ上がりまくってしまいました。
時間が長いので、正直ﾊﾜｲを楽しむにはどうなのかな～って不安に思っていたけど、参加して本当によかったです！！満喫っっ☆

This is definitely something for a first-timer to hawaii. Its probably not something i will do again, but definitely enjoyable for my first visit! flowers were beautiful, and the lady was very nice and walked us to our baggage claim and helped us with our rental.
The food wasn't as good as i expected, but i think you are mainly paying for the cruise. the mai tais were great! steak could have been cooked a little more. i dont like crab, but my boyfriend loved it! this is def a great activity for a little romance for couples for a nice evening.
We arrived at the Hyatt location promptly and had to stand outside in lines instead of being seated and served a cocktail as we expected. It was like being in line at a Disney Park. We expected more from such a small venue at such a large price. The performers were excellent. Staff sucked.
My boyfriend and I went on the sunset cruise, and loved it. Thanks to the staff who were great and esspecially the bar man. We had read some reviews that some people felt because it was free drinks the bar man was a bit slow. Not at all the case. As soon as we put our empty shaker on our head he ran over and filled it up:)
Great cruise and we were treated to an awesome sunset. Thanks again guys we hope to do it again one day.
Also our cruise left at 5pm so a word of warning given that the drinks are free and the bar man so efficient (we were happy to tip for such a great service) do try to have an early dinner as we may have gotten a little carried away with drinking which is not a great idea on an empty tummy :)
Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.
最初に本来なら２日で回るところを１日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸１日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍２８年の日本人の方でとても優しく（言葉もよく通じるので）安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.
This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.
ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました！
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング）と歓迎イベント（レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン）があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

Like always this is well worth your time and money!! I've been on this 4 times and everytime is a awesome time. See you next time :)
We took the tour on the first day after arriving and it was too much too soon. I am sure we would have enjoyed it more had we been rested but we were worn out.
The tour does go to all of the spots but you get very little time at any of them and the stop at the Dole Plantation is not long enough to do much of anything.
The sunset is amazing! The vibe with the Americans is great too! The bartender is super handsome. It might be good to wear something like a swimsuit and sweatpants.
サンセット最高!米国人のノリも最高!バーテンダーさん、めっちゃイケメン。服装は水着にスエット程度がよいかもです。

It was my first time trying a catamaran. There are many types of catamarans, and we chose this one for our trip. Since we don't drink alcohol, we only had soft drinks, but the scenery was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and we had a wonderful time. There were very few Japanese people. You get quite wet, but that also became a fun memory.
初めてのカタマラン挑戦でした。何種類もあるカタマランから今回こちらを選びました。私たちはお酒が呑めないので、ソフトドリンクだけでしたが、景色も最高、ノリも最高で楽しい時間を過ごせました。日本人、めっちゃ少ないですよ。いっぱい濡れます。それも楽しい思い出になりました。

This is my sixth visit, and this time was the most impressive.
今回で６度目の見学になりますが、今回が１番見ごたえがありました。

The entertainment on this dinner cruise was exceptional; there is so much culture, talent, and professional attention to detail! I really appreciate how dedicated the dancers and musician were to their crafts!
I participated with two friends, and we had a great time. We were able to experience Hawaiian culture, and I was very moved by the students performing so passionately in the evening show. I was also very happy to hear that the ticket price we paid goes to charity.
I felt very uplifted.
If you go to Hawaii, this is definitely a must-visit! I highly recommend it.
友達２人と参加させて頂きましたが
とっても楽しめました。
ハワイの文化に触れる事ができて夜のショーは
学生さんたちが一生懸命演じている姿にとても感動
しました。また私達が買ったチケット代金が寄付金に
なっていると聞いて嬉しい限りです。
とても心が軽やかになりました。
ハワイにいったら絶対に行くべきです～
とってもお勧めです。

I chose Smith's Tropical Luau because I had read some previous reviews and one reviewer stated they had been to a different luau every night and Smith's was the best. I was a passenger on the NCL Pride of America and the reviews for that luau were not good and I hate nasty food. So I chose Smith's for myself and my party and let me tell you, we were not dissapointed. First of all and probably the best thing was it was not as expensive as the other luau, next the food was great everything was very good (except the purple sweet potato, it was too dry and tasteless). The staff was great, they kept coming around asking if everything was okay. Also, there was a large crowd there, maybe 500 people maybe more, but everything ran smooth and efficiently. When we arrived we were escorted to a tram that took us for a narrated tour of the plantation and it was beautiful. Then we went into the large lanai to be seated for eating. Some went to watch the roasted pig taken out of the place whe
Great way to start our Vacation, a surprise Lei at the airport from a friendly local.....aloha and Mohalo
While our flight was delayed, we were still presented with the most beautiful Hawaiian Leis as soon as we arrived! Recommended to everyone to make them feel "part of the islands" as soon as you step off the plane!
The Lei was stunning....I would really suggest this for anyone...my other hald wasstunned literally to see his name up on a board and wishing him a Happy Birthday as well upon arrival right out of the gate....then the delight to be walked to the baggae pick up area and pointed in the right direction to the car rentals...when you have never been there before these little things mean the most....thanks for the memories...we'll never forget the hospitality !!!! Mahola !!!!
My son and daughter-in-law were celebrating their 28th Anniversary and I gave them this Sunset Dinner Cruise as a gift. They loved it - said food was great and the view of the sunset was awesome. They were able to get lots of beautiful pictures for their album. I would recommend this cruise for everyone. I regret not doing it for my husband and myself since we also were celebrating our 55th anniversary but I didn't want to intrude on their time.
I was able to experience the cultures of various Polynesian countries. On the deluxe tour, we explored the park in a small group. The female tour guide was very dedicated and left a good impression. We watched shows from Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, and Tonga, but the show from Tonga was particularly interesting. The post-dinner show, "Ha: Breath of Life," was breathtaking. It was a powerful performance that you wouldn't believe was put on by amateurs (students). The story allowed us to reaffirm the cultures of the countries we learned about during the day, and it made me want to visit the attractions we couldn't get to. The fire dance was also impressive. We were even able to visit the backstage where the students were preparing for the show, which was very moving. The dinner was delicious, and the ice cream we received during the show was also tasty, making it a great value for the cost. There are more highlights than I expected, so if you're renting a car, I recommend taking your time to explore from the opening. However, even spending a whole day, it's quite challenging to see all the village shows. It would be good to prioritize the villages you're interested in or the shows recommended by the tour guide when planning your schedule. The tickets are valid for three days (with paid parking), so for those staying longer, it might be a good idea to split the visit over two days. Through this tour, I became interested in Polynesian countries other than Hawaii. I immediately started looking up how to get to Tonga. I want to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center again.
ポリネシアのさまざまな国の文化に触れることができました。デラックスツアーでは少人数のグループで園内をまわりました。ツアーガイドの女性も一生懸命で好感が持てました。ハワイ、ニュージーランド、サモア、トンガ、のショーを見ましたが、なかでもトンガのショーは面白かったです。ディナー後のショー（ハァ：ブレスオブライフ）は圧巻でした。アマチュア（学生）が演じているとは思えないほど迫力ある舞台でした。昼のうちに園内で学んだ諸国の文化を再確認できるストーリーになっており、回りきれなかったアトラクションへ「行ってみたい」という気持ちにさせられました。ファイアーダンスも見事でした。学生達がショーの準備をしているバックステージへもお邪魔することができ、胸が熱くなりました。ディナーもおいしく、ショーの途中でもらえるアイスクリームもおいしくてコストパホーマンスは高いと思います。思ったより見所いっぱいなので、レンタカーの方は開園からのんびり見てまわるほうがよいと思います。ただし、一日いてもすべての村のショーを見てまわるのはとてもたいへんです。興味のある村、もしくは、ツアーガイドオススメのショーを優先してスケジュールを組むとよいでしょう。チケットは3日間有効になるので（有料駐車場も）、滞在期間の長い方は2日に分けてみるのもよいと思います。今回のツアーを通して、ハワイ以外のポリネシアの国に興味を持ちました。さっそくトンガへの行き方を調べました。ポリネシア文化センター、また行きたいです。

Had a wonderful time at the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was very nice; the tour guide was very friendly and made the overall experience great. Would recommend this and will go again, it is worth the cost.
The Sunset Dinner Cruise was a pleasant experience and we would recommend this event to anyone who would ask and/or we knew that were planning a visit to Oahu.
The food was served hot and was excellent. The entertainment was fair. The Cruise along the coast line was fantastic. The crew was courteous, professional, and informative.
Based on the time of the year, the only thing that I would recommend is that the dinner should start a little earlier so that you have more time on deck to view the sites and take a lot of photographs since night falls pretty quick.
Yes, we would do this again on our next trip to Oahu.
Overall, it was great. I had always wanted to ride on a catamaran since I was interested in its structure, and this cruise, which offered both fireworks and a sunset, seemed perfect, so I decided to go with this one. The food was delicious, and the boat was clean, which was nice. I had a lot of fun. The fireworks in Hawaii were just as splendid as those in Japan. This year, I missed the fireworks festival in Japan, so I was able to make up for it in Hawaii, and on top of that, I had the best experience with a cruise and meals included. I definitely want to participate again next time. I never get tired of it.
とにかくよかったです。カタマラン船の構造に興味があったので、１度は乗ってみようと思っていましたが、特に花火と夕陽をセットで見れるこちらのクルーズがよさそうだったので、こちらに決めました。食事もおいしかったし、船も清潔でよかったです。とても楽しめました。ハワイの花火も日本に負けず劣らず、とても華やかでよかったです。今年は日本の花火大会をのがしてしまったので、ハワイで挽回できて、しかもクルーズ船の上・食事付という、最高の体験ができました。
また次回も是非こちらに参加したいです。何度でも飽きませんね。

It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.
今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした！ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火！船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!
The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!
初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動！
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした！
サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです！

I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.
I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.
We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.
And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.
申し込んで正解、最高でした。
ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。
沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。
そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。

I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.
The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.
The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!
Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.
せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。
海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。
船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね！
ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。
