Hawaii
The boat lost engine power in the middle of going back to shore. Apparently there was some water in the fuel so we ended up staying out till about 8:30 or 9:00 with screaming children. It was fun other than the engine giving out. They said it had never happened before which is probably true but nevertheless, it wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.
I ordered this as a surprise for my daughter. Didn't catch the greeter's name as we were exhausted, but her friendly face was waiting right by the exit gate with a sign that had my daughter's name clearly marked. Our flight had been delayed, and while she was friendly, she appreciated that we weren't feeling our best. I ordered the standard lei for my daughter hoping it wouldn't set off her allergies. Smelled great, looked beautiful and no reaction. She took us to baggage claim and made sure we had transportation to the hotel. I would definitely do this again for other friends or family coming to visit.
First time in Hawaii the lady made us fell very welcome and helped us get our luggage and find our ride.
Not really what i had expected. I found it to be rather boring. Would have really liked to see more of the Men dances than there was. Didn't really care for all the other country style dances was really looking for more of a Hawaiian, Polnysian style luau. The fire dance was cool. Think kids would find this show rather boring. The plantation was really really pretty i would recommend that you tour that.
I participated in the Twilight Deluxe on June 9. The ride to the destination was enjoyable, thanks to the interesting stories from our student guide, and we arrived in no time. The meal was a buffet, so it's best to go with an empty stomach. The show was impressive as we were seated in the third row from the front in the center. There was someone on the same bus who was attending for the second time, and they mentioned, "It's better to join in the afternoon." That made sense to me.
6/9トワイライトデラックスで参加しました。
行きの車中は、学生ガイドさんの話がおもしろくあっという間に目的地に着きました。食事はバイキングでした。お腹はすかして行った方がよいですよ。ショーは真ん中の前から3列目でしたので迫力ありました。同じバスの方で2回目の方がいらっしゃいましてその方曰く「昼から参加した方がいいよ」ということでした。なるほどと思いました。
I had gone to this Luau about 20 years prior and had a very favorable memory of it. This time, I have to say, was disappointing. First off, I bought the half day package. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding or what, but our driver ( I also paid for transportation) said that our guide couldn't make it, so he took us on a tour when we got there. I felt the tour was rushed and not very impressive. I suppose for the half day, you shouldn't expect much.
He then took us to dinner a little late, and we were seated in the waaay back of the line, which makes a difference. The tables go to the buffet in order, so if you are towards the back, it's slim pickin's. The buffet itself was average, although considering what we paid, was below average for the price. I didn't get to see anything of the cooking of the pig or anything about the traditions, again, maybe because I was late.
The show, however, was as billed. There were many many different dances, and the dan
this was a very relaxing and romantic excursion of tranquility.
great food and entertainment. the scenery was awesome and the sunset was glorius. the people who entertained and served were impeccable in quality
My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted the full experience, including the lei greeting. We had already indulged by flying first class so we were nice and relaxed and so excited to be in Hawaii! The greeter was literally right at the gate so we saw her right away. Unfortunately it was just some chick in a flowered "Hawaii" shirt with our names on a piece of paper and a plastic grocery bag who placed our leis, said welcome to Hawaii and pointed us in the wrong direction to the baggage claim. I had planned on giving her a tip of a couple bucks but she bailed so quickly I didn't even get a chance. At least she stuck around long enough to take a pic of my husband & I with our leis! Luckily my husband and I were in such a great mood and happy to be there we just laughed it off and went on our way. The leis were beautiful and lasted several days, unfortunately we had no way to keep them cool and make them last longer, but we have wonderful pictures as keepsakes
My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!
Food was excellent and the show was anything but ordinary.
It was just what the doctor ordered after 12 hours of travel!
A must do!!!!!!!!
For our 15th anniversary, I surprised my wife with Honeymoon Leis and silk leis for our kids. They were delightfully surprised to be greeted by our friendly greeter as we arived in Honolulu. The leis were beautiful. Our greeter showed us through the airpoert to our connecting flight and was very helpful with island information.
I joined in the afternoon, but by the time I arrived, the canoe show had already started. I wanted to see it from the beginning... I also wanted to visit more villages and experience some crafts. It was disappointing... The night horizon was wonderful!
お昼から参加したのですが、到着した頃にはカヌーショーは始まってました。最初からみたかったです・・・もっと沢山の村にも行きたかったですし、工作も体験したかったです。残念でした・・・
夜のホライズンは素晴らしかったです!
One of the best activities we went to on Oahu. The overall experience made a lifelong impression. America needs more Aloha!
I made the arrangements so far in advance to surprise my wife that I forgot I had made them. We were equally surprised when we got off the plan and saw the greeter holding our name in the air! The quality of the lei's were excellent and the greeter was extremely friendly. She escorted us to our baggage claim and made sure we were able to get to our ground transportation. Very well done and highly recommended, especially for first timers.
Very lush and beautiful grounds, plus the food and open bar. Yes, open bar! And the dancers are freakin' hot, both ladies and men!
What a surprise for my wife. It was our 25th anniversary and her first time in Honolulu. The Lei greeting was the icing on the cake as she had seen this many times on TV. The staff member met us as promised with a fantastic matching Lei for each of us. My one regret is that real flowers don't last but it was worth it. She then gave us assistance by guiding us to the inter-island terminal.
This was a very fun activity. The food and activities were great!
I surprised my husband and two daughters by getting a Lei Greeting at the Airport.....and it was absolutely wonderful! The BEAUTIFUL young lady was waiting for us right as we got off the plane....holding up a sign with all of our names...and then after the AWESOME surprise of my family.....she presented us all with a gorgeous lei of orchids...everyone was really surprised and it made a terrific start to our vacation....She also walked us to baggage claim and then helped me find our driver....very, very helpful and a real sweetheart........I highly recommend this for anyone coming to Hawaii.....you won't forget it!!!
I decided to participate in this luau show because it is conveniently held in the center of Kailua-Kona. Check-in is at 5:00 PM, and there is also an ABC Store in the center of Kona, which is not uncommon in Oahu, so I included some shopping as well. I arrived early and watched what seemed to be a local student canoe team's practice before heading to the venue.
I have participated in luau shows several times in Waikiki, but what I think is great about this luau show is that it takes place in nature. It features Tahitian dance, Hawaiian hula, Fiji dance, Samoan dance, and fire dance—there's a little bit of everything. I believe it offers good cost performance as well.
このルアウショーはカイルアコナの中心地で開催されており便利だな~と思い参加しました。17:00にチェックインですが、ここコナの中心地にはオアフでは珍しくないABCストアもあり、買出し含め参加しました。早めに到着し、地元の学生?のカヌーチームの練習などを見た後、会場へ。
ルアウショーはワイキキで何度か参加しているのですが、このルアウショーのいいところは、自然の中で繰り広げらるところじゃないかと思います。タヒチアンダンス、ハワイアンフラ、フィジーダンスとサモアンなダンスそしてファイアーダンスなんでもござれです。コストパファーマンスも良いショーだと思います。
Gave the lei greeting to our daughter and her fiance. She said it was beautiful and that it started the island vacation off to a wonderful start! The greeter was very friendly and even went out of her way to escort them to baggage claim!
It was our 38th anniversary and we had a great time! The server and the crew were very nice! I would do it again! Thanks so much.
This was my first time visiting the place.
We really enjoyed the dancing show but we were not too happy with the luau. We were expecting more traditional luau.
It was really nice to be greeted at the airport with leis after our 9 hour flight. The lady was waiting at the gate for us and she was very friendly - she gave me a hug along with my lei :) Our orchid leis were very beautiful and full - we received numerous compliments on them. It was a very nice way to be welcomed to Hawaii on our honeymoon!
After such a long flight (over 9 hrs), it was great to be greeted with the beautiful leis provided by Honolulu Lei Greetings. Their representative was very welcoming. She physically showed us to the baggage claim area and answered all of our questions about leaving the airport. She even made suggestions that saved us time going to the rental car lots. Thank you for helping us start our Oahu vacation with a smile!
Although I was very unhappy about the seating arrangement, overall it was great.
We had a great great time!!!
I would recommend this to everyone i know. It was all worth it. My partner and i enjoyed evey minute of it! The food was the bomb! We had 3 star which is a 5-course meal. i even took pictures of the food! Our server Rita was so nice, i always see her smiling and she was very attentive to us! It was so fun!
I will surely go back and this time i'm gonna bring my mom!
We had a good time
This was really a great experience. My wife and I got to enjoy the flavor of the Island in a relaxed island setting. The food and entertainment were great and the staff made every effort to make us feel welcome. A must do activity.
Even though our flight was 1 & 1/2 hours late from Chicago the greeter was at the gate, Lei's in hand with the family name on a placard waiting for our flight!!!
Great start to ur 35th Anniv. vacation.
