Hawaii
Eight years ago, my daughter, who was in elementary school, said she wanted to see it again, so we participated. Unlike last time, we had a buffet meal before the show started. I think the content of the show was almost the same as before. We enjoyed the look-alike show, hula, and fireman show, among other things.
8年前に小学生だった娘がまた見たいと言うので、参加しました、前回と違いショーが始まる前にビュッフェでお食事、ショーの内容は前回とほぼ同じような感じだったと思います。そっくりさんショーとフラやファイアーマンショーなど楽しめました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show for the second time after eight years with your daughter. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Elvis and Michael performances, as well as the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Hawaii and hope to see you again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーに8年ぶりに2回目として娘様とご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
From the moment we parked our car we knew it would be a magical night. From the hostess at the entrance to the end of the dinner and program we were waited on like we were the only ones there. Our server, Uncle Tim, was wonderful, attentive, personable and kind. We felt like we were at home.
The entertainment was captivating and held our attention through the whole performance. Really talented performers. And they looked like they were having fun!!! The food and its presentation was perfect.
This is the 4-5 time I've been to the Old Lahaina Luau and I intend to come back many more times!!
Thank you for your hospitality
The warmth and professionalism of the Luau team was exceptional. They were welcoming from the beginning and never stopped being attentive during the entire luau. The food was great (appreciated being served at the table); the show was excellent with the talented performers; and the location couldn't be any better. I have been to the Old Lahaina Luau several times over the many years and this experience has been the best!
We appreciate the opportunity to help support the Lahaina Restoration foundation as part of attending the luau. Welcome back! Mahalo for the excellent experience.
The person who picked us up was very gentlemanly, which made me excited, but one other group of participants did not arrive at the pickup location, and since we got there five minutes early, we ended up waiting over 15 minutes to depart. This isn't the organizer's fault, but it gave me a bad feeling from the start... and the van we were in was quite noisy.
When we arrived, we were guided to an outdoor area with nothing around, just some simple chairs and tables set up. I believe the venue is an important element of dinner experiences.
We were told to "enjoy the activities" while waiting for the meal, but there were no exciting activities, just taking photos, and we ended up with too much free time. Wouldn't it be better to set the pickup for a later time?
As soon as we arrived, my friend got bitten by a mosquito. When we spoke to the staff, they mentioned that there are many mosquitoes in the area. It would have been better if they had announced this upon arrival, even though insect repellent spray was provided.
The hula show was enjoyable, and I was satisfied with the meal, but when it comes to whether I would repeat this or recommend it to friends, unfortunately, the answer is "NO." For this price, I believe there are better options near Waikiki.
I have given a critical review, but I hope that various aspects can be improved so that it becomes a tour I would want to participate in again (*^^*).
お迎えの方はとても紳士的だったのでワクワクしたのですが、ピックアップ場所でもう1組の参加者が来られず、私たちはピックアップの5分前に到着していたので、結局15分以上出発を待つことになりました。これは主催者側の問題ではないですが、出足から嫌な予感…そしてお迎えの車(バン)の中は、ガタガタとうるさかったです。
到着して案内されたところは、何にもない野外で、簡易な椅子とテーブルが並べられたところでしたが、施設もディナーの大切な要素だと思います。
食事までの時間は「アクティビティを楽しんでください」とのことでしたが、心躍るアクティビティはなく、写真を撮って終わり、時間を持て余してしまいました。ピックアップをもっと遅めの時間で設定された方が良いのでは?
到着後すぐに友達は蚊に刺されてしまいました。スタッフさんに話すと「この辺は蚊が多い」とのこと。虫除けスプレーも用意されていましたが、到着した時点でアナウンスされた方が良いのではないでしょうか。
フラショーは楽しく食事とともに満足でしたが、リピートあるいは友達に紹介するかといえば残念ながら、「NO」です。このお値段でこの内容であれば、ワイキキ近くでももっと満足できるお店があると思いました。
辛口の評価になりましたが、いろんなところが改善されて「また参加したい」というツアーになることを期待しています(*^^*)
Thank you for visiting Fragrant Garden. We appreciate your candid feedback and will consider it for improvements. We look forward to your next visit.
この度はフラガーデンにお越しいただきありがとうございました。
忌憚のないご意見をいただき、改善に向け検討したいと思います。
またのお越しをお待ちしております。
Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise was amazing! My group had an awesome time, food was delicious, show was amazing as well. I was hoping for an actual Luau with the fire show. The service was great, very welcoming. Highly recommended!
I initially thought it would be an ordinary show since it started with hula dancing, but I enjoyed the diverse content, including impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, fire attractions, and aerial descents reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil. The theater also had a retro feel, creating a nice atmosphere.
After the show, the dancers from the Elvis and fire attraction were waiting near the exit, and I was pleased with the hospitality as they were willing to take commemorative photos. In the U.S., where prices are high, I appreciate it when shows like this offer discounted tickets.
フラダンスから始まったので、最初は凡庸なショーかなと思っていましたが、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーや、ファイヤーアトラクションやシルクドソレイユを思わせる空中からの人の降下など、多彩な内容で楽しめました。劇場もレトロ感があり、良い雰囲気でした。
ショーが終わった後、エルビスとファイヤーアトラクションのダンサーが出口付近に待機しており、記念写真の撮影に応じてくれるなど、おもてなし感にも満足しました。米国は物価が高く、今回のショーのように、値引き販売してくれると、うれしいです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Boarding Day: Friday
Boarding Course: 5 Star
If you're going to board, it's best to do so on a Friday when the Hilton fireworks are held. The fireworks themselves last about 5 minutes, but the combination of the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks from the sea is breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the sunset was not very impressive due to the clouds. I guess that's just luck...
However, the dinner was extremely delicious.
Also, the live performance was great.
I had previously boarded a 3 Star cruise, but I think I will only choose 5 Star in the future.
While it is more expensive compared to 3 Star, you should definitely go for 5 Star.
乗船曜日:金曜
乗船コース:5スター
乗船するなら、ヒルトンの花火が行われる金曜です。花火自体は5分程度ですが、海上からワイキキの夜景と花火のコラボは絶景です。
サンセットは雲があり、感動する感じではなかったのが残念でした。こればかりは運かと…。
でも、ディナーが非常に美味しかったです。
また、生演奏がよかった。
以前に3スターに乗船したことありましたが、今後は5スターしか選ばないと思います。
3スターに比べれば値は張りますが、5スターにすべきです。
Thank you very much for joining us again on our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We were disappointed that the weather did not allow us to see a beautiful sunset this time, but we are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the jazz trio performance by Five Star, the views from the ship, and the collaboration with the Hilton fireworks on Friday. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズに再度お越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回は天候の関係で綺麗なサンセットが見れなかったのは残念でしたが、ファイブスターでのジャズトリオ演奏と船上からの眺めと金曜日のヒルトンの花火のコラボをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
So from other reviews you know the lines are long, especially in the heat. Now they have water fountains, and it does move semi quickly. But it would make sense to have the vip's seated 1st, then the GA seats enter by sections.
This would help with standing in the sun for to long.
The show it self was fantastic! Very entertaining, and kept you wanting more.
My only gripe, is that I am diabetic, and needed to eat sooner than later, and since I was the last table to be sat, we were the last table to be approved to get up to the Buffet. Also there was no sugar free desserts. Other than that the foods I was able to eat was delicious and flavorful. But I did end up in the restroom for most of the evening once returned back to the room. Could have been that some foods were in the temp danger zone for to long.
We participated as a couple. Since the explanations were in English, I didn't understand everything, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. It was a fun time talking with the Japanese people who were also on board. I was a bit worried about needing the restroom after drinking too many Mai Tais, but there was a restroom on the boat, so I felt relieved. I was a little surprised to find a restroom in such a place, but several people, both men and women, used it.
The night view of Waikiki from the sea was amazing, and the Hilton fireworks were a different experience compared to viewing them from land, making it feel luxurious. At one point, we raised the sails and went sailing, which was quite fast and refreshing.
夫婦二人で参加しました。
英語での説明なのでよくわからなかったんですが、雰囲気で盛り上がることができました。
同乗していた日本人の方ともお話できて楽しい時間でした。
マイタイを飲み過ぎるとトイレが心配されてますが、船にはトイレがあるので安心です。こんなところにトイレが、ちょっとビックリでしたが、男性、女性とも何人かの方が利用してました。
洋上から眺めるワイキキの夜景は素晴らしく、ヒルトンの花火は陸から見るのとは一味違い、贅沢な気分でした。
途中、帆を上げてセーリング、結構な速さで爽快でした。
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またすぐにお越しいただけることを楽しみにしています!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
We really enjoyed this luau. The drumming, dancing and singing was awesome.
The male driver holding a sign that said "HULA GARDEN" was at the meeting point, making it easy to find him. When we arrived at the venue, a hula girl welcomed us by placing a shell lei around our necks. After that, we played some games and received an explanation about the drink tickets from the Japanese staff, followed by an opening performance of hula and guitar. I had the impression that there would be several hula girls and performers, but throughout the event, there were only two hula girls, one guitarist and singer, and one fire dancer, totaling four performers who presented various performances. The hula girls changed their costumes frequently, so it was never boring. Since there were only six participants and a small number of guests, we were close to the performers, which made for a richer experience. There was also a hula dance experience, which was challenging but incredibly fun.
お迎えはHULA GARDENと書かれたプラカードを持った男性運転手の方が集合場所にいらっしゃったのでわかりやすかったです。
会場に到着すると、貝殻でできたレイをフラガールの方が首にかけて歓迎してくださいました。
それから少しゲーム等をしたり日本人スタッフの方からドリンクチケットの説明を受けたりしてからフラとギターのオープニングパフォーマンスがありました。勝手な印象で何人ものフラガールやパフォーマーの方たちが出演されるものかと思っていましたが、この日の最初から最後までフラガール2人、ギターと歌1人、ファイヤーダンス1人の計4人の方たちだけで色々なパフォーマンスをしてくださいました。フラガールの方たちは何時も衣装を変えてくださったので全く飽きることはありませんでした。
私たち参加者は計6人でゲストも少人数だった為、パフォーマーの方たちとの距離も近くてより濃い体験となりました。
フラダンス体験もあり、難しいながらもすごく楽しかったです。
Thank you for visiting Fragrant Garden. We are delighted that you enjoyed our unique show and cuisine in a cozy, intimate setting that only a small group can provide. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度はフラガーデンにお越しいただきありがとうございました。
少人数ならではのアットホームで距離も近く今までにないショー、料理をお楽しみいただけたかとスタッフ一同喜んでおります。
またのお越しをお待ちしております。
I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time seeing fireworks, and I booked the Fireworks Cruise. It was wonderful to enjoy the fireworks while sipping drinks, and I didn't experience any seasickness, plus the cruise went all the way to Diamond Head, making for a very enjoyable time. The only downside was that the meeting point was hard to find.
Since I was staying at the Sheraton, I thought it would be easy to get to the designated spot, but I couldn't figure it out even while looking out at the coast. When the boat finally arrived, I assumed it was ours, but when I asked the crew, they told me our boat was docked on the other side of the Sheraton. I realized I had gone to the wrong meeting point just in time to barely make it for departure, and I had to run.
Regarding the meeting point, the explanation of "go past the Sheraton pool and head to the beach" is a bit misleading for those staying at the Sheraton, as it's easier to exit towards the Royal Hawaiian side. I think it would be more helpful to specify the Hale Koa side instead.
ハワイは何度か来ていますが、花火は初めてで、ファイアークルーズを予約しました。お酒を飲みながらゆっくり花火がみられて、心配していた船酔いもなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルーズがあって、とても楽しい時間でした。唯一のマイナスポイントは集合場所がわかりにくかったこと。
シェラトンに泊まっていましたので指定の場所まですぐのはずが、海岸を見渡してもわからず。
やっと船が来たので、てっきりそれだと思っていましたが、船員さんに聞くと私たちが乗る船はシェラトンの向こう側に泊まると。集合場所を間違えている事がわかったのが出航に間に合うかギリギリの時間で、慌てて走りました。集合場所について「シェラトンのプールの横を通って海岸に出る」という説明ではシェラトンに泊まっているとロイヤルハワイアン側に出るのが楽なので、ハレクラニ側と記載された方が親切だと思います。
It was a lovely experience! Crew was amazing and entertainment was fun. Food was also very good. Only issue I had was I ordered 2 Mai tias. One alcoholic ,one non alcoholic and they charged me same price for each…$10 a piece. I do not think a drink that only contained fruit juice and no alcohol should have been the same price.
Other then that, it was a beautiful cruise
Great staff, drinks, music, and view of the fireworks.
This is a great family Luau, it was your ideal and Typical Luau. Food was buffet style and ready to go with pork, fish, and chicken options. The show completed the different dances of the different Polynesian islands and culture that you would expect and was colorfully narrated. The staff were very friendly and quick to serve. Price is very economical and affordable that was all inclusive with food and drinks. I recommend this packet for families who want to get a Luau in at a budget price.
Even with standard seating our seats were close to the stage and our view was very good. Venue doesn’t offer the tropical and natural setting and backdrop (high rise in background of all our photos), but it was close to our hotel and didn’t consume several hours of our day/night going/returning on a bus.
Entertainment was very good and the food was good. All luaus are expensive, so no real bargains.
Overall, we are glad we went and had the experience.
It was my first experience, and I was able to feel Hawaii. There were various events, and it became a lifelong memory. It was fun!
初めての体験で、ハワイを感じる事ができました。
色々なイベント事があり、一生の思い出になりました。
楽しかったデス
Since our plan was for the afternoon, we didn't participate in any activities and enjoyed shopping and the buffet until showtime. There were many items made in Hawaii, so I felt like I was contributing to the local community.
The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food, and I was very satisfied. There were also poke and dessert bars. Even if you choose a plan without the buffet, there are cafes and restaurants on the premises.
The show featured Polynesian dances that followed a storyline, and it was powerful and captivating. I was moved by the haka from rugby! The narration was in English, but the main language was local, so I could understand enough to stay engaged. Photography and video recording during the show are prohibited.
午後からのプランでしたのでアクティビティに参加せず、ショーの時間までショッピングやビュッフェを楽しみました。ショッピングもメイドインハワイのものが多くあったので地元に貢献できるかと思います。
ビュッフェは種類も多く味もとても美味しくて大満足です。ポケバーやデザートバーも揃っています。もしビュッフェなしのプランでも敷地内にカフェやレストランがあります。
ショーはストーリーにそったポリネシアンのダンスなのですが、迫力があり見応えがあります。ラグビーのハカだ!と感動しました。基本は現地語でナレーションは英語です。なんとなく伝わるので見ていて飽きませんでした。ショーの写真や動画撮影は禁止となります。
It was a wonderful show where I could enjoy various genres of music and dance. The quality of the singing and dancing was also high.
いろいろなジャンルの音楽やダンスを楽しめて素晴らしいショーでした。歌やダンスのクオリティも高かったです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the various genres of music, Hawaiian shows, and dances. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。いろいろなジャンルの音楽やハワイアンショー & ダンスを楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I felt strong swells at the beach, but it was completely calm offshore. I only remembered going out to see the sunset and coming back before, but this time we cruised all the way around Diamond Head while enjoying the sunset, fully savoring the refreshing experience on the catamaran. It was only in English, but there were no particular issues. The free soft drink was a very light pineapple flavor? (laughs) That wasn't the main purpose, so it was just a little charm. I went on the last day, and it was casual and a fitting way to cap off the final day; it was a great trip. I absolutely recommend it.
浜辺ではうねりが強い感じがしましたが沖は全く静か。以前は沖に出て夕陽を見て帰って来ただけの記憶でしたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで夕陽を見ながらずーっとクルーズ、めいっぱいカタマランでの爽快感を堪能できました。英語のみですが特に問題はなかったです。フリーのソフトドリンクはうすーいパイナップル味?笑。それが目的ではないのでそこもご愛嬌。最後の日に行きましたが気軽ですし最終日を飾るにふさわしい、良い旅でした。
絶対おすすめです。
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたことをとても嬉しく思っており、ぜひまたお越しいただきたいです!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
In the evening, I left the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and was guided to a private garden overlooking Kaneohe Bay by a welcoming car. As the gate opened, a breathtaking view unfolded before me: a sea landscape with palm trees and the small island of Chinaman's Hat floating across the lagoon, and behind it, a divine sight where clouds and light intersected on the layered mountain slopes, like a dream.
In one corner of the vast property, a small open-air venue was set up, allowing us to stroll through the garden and learn about traditional games until dinner began, providing a leisurely and luxurious experience. The sense of privacy, unlike that of conventional large venues, made me feel as if I had been invited into someone's home.
Dinner was served amidst the flowing sounds of strings and pleasant live vocals. We could enjoy drinks freely with two tickets, and without any language barriers, beautiful dishes were served leisurely, making the two-hour dinner feel surprisingly short. The meal, from appetizers to salads and then the main course, exceeded all expectations in deliciousness, and I regretted leaving any behind. Next time, I thought I should skip lunch before coming. The meat cut effortlessly with a knife, and the salad dressing was wonderful.
The changing scenery of the evening was beautifully complemented by elegant hula dancing, truly a dreamlike Hawaii. As the sun set, the intensity of the fire dance was thrillingly close. Memories that could not be gained just from Waikiki were vividly added. I felt a bittersweet longing, recalling my late mother and the times we came to Hawaii; I wished I could have brought her here. The photos taken with the dancers at the end (not an extra charge!) will surely become treasures for many families looking back.
Thank you to the staff who created a memorable night that transcended the concept of an optional tour, and for your kind consideration.
夕刻にワイキキの喧騒を離れ、迎えの車でカネオヘ湾を臨むプライベートガーデンに案内されました。
門が開くと眼前にはラグーン越しに、ヤシの木とチャイナマンズハットの小島が浮かぶ海の風景が広がり、背後には幾重にも重なる山肌に雲と光が交差する神々しい光景が、夢のようで。
その広大な敷地の一角に、オープンエアーの小ぶりな会場がセットされていて、食事開始まで庭を散策したり、伝統的な遊びを紹介していただき、ゆったりとした贅沢な時間を過ごしました。
従来の大規模な会場では得られないプライベート感が、個人宅に招かれたような気持ちにさせてくれました。
流れる弦の音と心地よい声の生演奏の中、お食事がサーブされます。飲みものも2杯のチケットで自由にいただけ、言葉の心配もなく、美しい料理がゆったり運ばれ2時間の夕食が逆に短く思えた程です。
お食事は、前菜からサラダ、そしてメインへと予想を遥かに超える美味しさに、残すのが不本意で、次回はお昼は抜きにして来るべきと。お肉がナイフを入れるとスッと切れ、サラダのドレッシングがまた素晴らしく。
そして夕刻の変わりゆく風景にフラダンスが優雅に大変美しく、まさに夢に見るハワイ。日が沈むとファイヤーダンスの至近距離にハラハラする程の迫力。ワイキキだけでは得られなかった思い出が色濃く加わりました。
もう亡くなってしまった母と昔来たハワイ、ここに連れてきてあげたかったなと切なく思い返していました。最後にダンサーの皆様と撮って頂いた写真(別料金ではありません!)が、振り返れば宝物になるご家族多いと思います。
オプショナルツアーという概念を超える、思い出に残る一夜を演出して頂いたスタッフの皆様、優しいお心遣いありがとうございました。
Thank you very much for visiting Fragrant Garden. We are delighted that you enjoyed the magnificent scenery and the unique atmosphere of our private venue, as well as Michel's traditional Caesar salad and other dishes. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度はフラガーデンにお越しいただき誠にありがとうございます。
景色の雄大さとプライベートな会場のミスマッチ、ミシェルズ伝統のシーザーサラダやお料理をご堪能いただけスタッフ一同喜んでおります。
またのご来店をお待ちしております。
I participated with my wife and two daughters, a total of four people. Most of the participants were from overseas, and we were probably the only Japanese family there. I was the only one in my family drinking alcohol, so I had the famous Mai Tai while the other three enjoyed soft drinks. The waves were relatively calm, so it didn't sway as much as I had worried it would. I enjoyed my drink while being blown by the wind, and the pleasantness made me keep drinking, leading to about five or six more Mai Tais and sparkling wines. Unfortunately, the cloud conditions were a bit poor, so I couldn't see the "perfect sunset," but I was able to see a big rainbow, making it a very satisfying boat trip.
妻と2人の娘、計4人で参加しました。
参加者のほとんどが海外の方で、日本人はおそらく私たち家族だけでした。
家族の中でお酒を飲むのは私だけだったので、私は名物マイタイを、あとの3人はソフトドリンクを頂きました。
波が比較的穏やかだったので心配していたほど揺れることもなく、風に吹かれながら美味しく飲み、あまりの気持ち良さに酒も進んでマイタイのおかわりやスパークリングワインなど5、6杯も頂いてしまいました。
残念ながら雲の条件がやや悪く“100点満点の夕陽”は拝めませんでしたが、大きな虹を見ることができ、大満足の船旅になりました。
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。ぜひまたお越しください!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
I have loved magic since I was young, and among all magicians, I particularly adored Atsuto Ogawa's performances. So when I found out I could see his magic during my trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation immediately. Before the show, Mr. Ogawa spotted us and came over to chat! During the performance, he mixed in some Japanese, and we had a really enjoyable time. I was truly moved to see Atsuto Ogawa's magic live, something I had admired for so long!
昔からマジック好きな自分は、中でも緒川集人さんのマジックが大好きだったため、ハワイ旅行にあたって緒川さんのマジックが見れるということで即予約。
開場前に緒川さんが自分たちを見つけて、話しかけてくれました!
公演中も日本語を交えながらやってくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく昔から見ていた緒川集人のマジックを生で見れたことに感動でした!
This was a treat to our guests that came to vacation with us this year. From the 62 year old to the 8 year old everyone loved it. The entertainment was GREAT! and the history lesson was appreciated by all. My past experiences with Luau's was the buffet, the family style dinner was PERFECT! Everyone got to try what they wanted and some got extra of their favorite. The presentation was good and Kevin our server was the best. I highly recommend "Old Lahaina Luau"
We participated in a course that departed from Waikiki at 2:30 PM. On the way there, it was just the guide and the two of us, and we were able to freely ask the guide about life in Hawaii, which was really enjoyable!
After arriving, I heard that we couldn't do any activities, but we could enter the village. However, we were disappointed to be told at the gate of the inner village that we couldn't enter. There were only a few souvenir shops at the front, so we ended up with some free time.
The buffet was surprising with its volume and variety. For Japanese people, a regular restaurant might be enough. The Polynesian show was incredibly moving, just as rumored, and it was very good!
私達は午後14時半、ワイキキ出発のコースで参加しました。行きはガイドさんと私達2人のみで、自由に気兼ねなくガイドさんハワイライフを伺い、すごく楽しかったです♪
到着後、アクティビティはできないけど、村の中に入れると聞きましたが、奥の村のゲートで入場できないと言われガッカリでした。手前の土産物屋は少ししかなくて、時間を持て余しました。
バイキング料理は、ボリューム、種類が多すぎて驚きました。日本人は普通の飲食店ので十分かも。ポリネシアショーは、うわさどおり大感動、とても良かった!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I couldn't travel to Hawaii in 2020 and 2021, but I resumed my trips to Oahu in 2022 and 2023, and this time, it was my first trip to the Big Island in five years. As usual, I stayed at the Hilton resort in the Waikoloa area, but I felt that I couldn't truly experience the Big Island without seeing the traditional luau and hula Hawaiian show, which I also hadn't seen in five years. On the day of the event, it started drizzling, and as we transitioned from the first traditional hula show to dinner, the staff quickly distributed vinyl raincoats. By the time the Polynesian dancers' torch-lit group dance reached its peak, the rain had turned into a light mist, and most of the audience removed their raincoats. With the host's lively lead, the audience became one with the show and was filled with excitement. However, perhaps due to the rainy weather from the start, the program was moved up, and the audience participation hula was skipped, which was a bit disappointing.
コロナ禍で2020、2021年はハワイに行けなかったが、2022、2023年とオアフ島(ホノルル)で旅行を再開して、今回、5年ぶりのハワイ島旅行となった。いつもの様にワイコロア地区のヒルトンのリゾートに滞在したが、やはり伝統のルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショーを見ないとハワイ島に来た感じがしないと思い、これも5年ぶりの観覧となった。当日はスタートから小雨模様で、最初の伝統フラのショーから食事に切り替わる頃に、スタッフが手早くビニルのレインコートを配ってまわり、ポリネシアンダンサーのトーチを使った集団ダンスが佳境に入る頃には雨も細かい霧雨に変わり、観客の殆どがレインコートを脱ぎ去り、司会者の軽妙なリードで会場が一体となってショーに熱狂した。今回、スタートから雨模様のためか、プログラムの進行が全て前倒しで進められ、観客参加のフラがスキップされたりしたのが少々、残念であった。
After about a 30-minute ride in a comfortable black car, we arrived. I was surprised by the large, charming gate and delighted by the beautiful scenery from there. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a shell lei from a lovely hula girl. While waiting for dinner, we enjoyed cultural activities like making tattoo stickers and leaf bracelets, and the Japanese staff took photos and explained the location, allowing us to relax with drinks until dinner. The view from the venue was stunning, with beautiful mountains and ocean, which was truly moving. The food was delicious, though the portions might be a bit large for women, but overall it was very satisfying. The show featured several songs performed live by dancers, and we were able to enjoy a spectacular fire show at the end in a cozy atmosphere. The speed of the food service and the flow of the show were very pleasant. It seemed like a comfortable place for families with children or group reservations! There were many mosquitoes, so caution is needed, but I appreciated that the staff provided spray and insect repellent. I highly recommend this dinner show! ^_^
黒の快適な車で約30分ほど揺られて到着。趣きのある大きな門にびっくりし、そこからの綺麗な景色にうれしくなりました。着くと綺麗なフラガールからシェルレイのプレゼントでお出迎え。ディナーまでの間タトゥーシールやリーフのブレスレットつくりとカルチャーアクティビティをしながら、日本人のスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、場所の説明をしてくれたりと、ドリンクを飲みながらディナーまでの間をのんびりと過ごしました。会場からの景色は山も海もとっても美しいところで、感動します。食事はどれも美味しく、女性には少し量が多いかもしれませんが、とても満足度が高いものでした。ショーも素敵な生歌と共にダンサーが数曲踊り、最後には大迫力なファイアーショーを見ることができて、アットホームな雰囲気でのショーを楽しむことができます。料理の出てくるスピードや、ショーの流れもすごく心地よかったです。子供連れや団体での予約でも居心地良く過ごせそうな感じでした!!蚊が多いので、注意が必要ですが、スプレーや虫除けをスタッフさんが準備してくださっておりありがたかったです!
ぜひ、おすすめなディナーショーです^_^
Thank you for visiting Fragrant Garden.
Since there are many plants by the water, there are also many mosquitoes, so we have spray available. Please feel free to ask for it.
We look forward to your next visit.
この度はフラガーデンにお越しいただきありがとうございました。
水辺で草木も多いので蚊も多いですので、スプレーをご用意しています。お気軽にお申し出ください。
またのお越しをお待ちしております。
What a fabulous trip.
My partner and i thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Stevie and the crew were amazing and made the trip so enjoyable.
A trip not to be missed. The views are spectacular watching the sunset from the catamaran.
Highly recommend.
Yummy food and beautiful Hawaii views out your boat window! Can't go wrong
Be prepared to take a lot of knowledge in! Everyone in our family had plenty of fun!
