Hawaii
We set off with about 12 people on the boat. There were only two groups of Japanese, including mine, but I had a lot of fun communicating a bit with the other groups. If you get seasick, it might be wise to be careful! The waves were a bit high that day...!
Photos are 137 for $40, and you can decide whether to take them on the boat or not. They take some really good pictures. (Another Japanese couple had a GoPro, so they didn't take any photos! There's no pressure, so it's totally fine to decline.) You can also ask someone else on the same boat to take pictures with your iPhone (it's a bit boring when you're down below...). I also asked for videos and photos.
I think even those who are anxious about flying abroad can feel at ease! I highly recommend it.
1船12人程で出発
日本人は私の組含めて2組しかいませんでしたが、ほかの組との少しコミュニケーションしたりととても楽しかったです。
船酔いする人は気をつけた方が良さそう!
当日少しだけ波が高かった…!
写真は137枚で40ドル、船の上で撮るか撮らないか決めれます。結構いい写真撮ってもらえます。
(別の日本人カップルはGoProを持ってらっしゃったので撮影なしでした!強制力はないので断るのも全然OK)
同じ船に乗ってもらってる人にiPhoneでの撮影も頼めます(下にいる時は暇だし…)。私も動画と写真お願いしました^^
海外で飛ぶの不安〜な方も安心して出来ると思います!おすすめ
If you're prone to getting seasick, it's essential to have motion sickness medication!!! Even if you're not sure, it's better to have it just in case!! You can place your belongings in the area for sa
酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須!!!わからん人もとりあえず持ってた方がいい!!
荷物は多少だったら、サンダル入れるところに置けます。持って船に乗ることもできます。
Great time! Great crew! They call it appetizers, but it’s a meal. Even the drinks were superb. Fortunate enough to see one of the last whales of the season. Highly recommended! Would do again!
You will get wet.
After arriving at Kualoa Ranch, there were some parts of the explanation that were a bit unclear. The horseback riding experience varies depending on the personality of the horse, so compatibility can differ between people and horses. I recommend studying how to ride and handle horses in advance!
説明は全部英語でクアロアランチ到着後、多少説明がわかりづらい部分はありました。乗馬体験は、馬によっても性格も違うので相性が合うかは人と馬によりけりです。馬の乗り方や馬の操り方を事前に勉強しておくことをオススメします!
It's difficult unless you have some knowledge of horseback riding beforehand.
事前に乗馬の知識を多少つけないと難しいです。
the snorkeling and scenery were awesome. definitely one of the best beaches in Maui.
This was an amazing ride. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and bent over backwards to ensure everyone had a great time. The trip was perfect. You got sandbar time, turtle time and snorkeling.
Sunscreen and money for drinks.
What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!
Aloha Smita,
Thank you for the 5 stars review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our sandbar tour. We hope to see you again soon!

We were greeted with a drink, zero wait. (Even non alcoholic for our child)
Table water was always full.
Appetizers came within minutes.
The awesome crew feed over 300 people in very timely matter, before the show started.
Once the show started it was captivating and never dull. The night went by real quick and would recommend that one do a minor Google search of history of the islands before going there. It would definitely tie everything together.
Don’t fret about the line up outside. Make reservations ahead of time.
To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!
This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.
ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー!
ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景!魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。
In the morning, Hanauma Bay tends to have lower temperatures and water temperatures, so it might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved cover-up.
午前中のハナウマ湾は気温、水温ともに低めなので、長袖の羽織るものはあった方が良いかも。
The sea was beautiful, the guide was kind, and there were light snacks, making it a great tour. I was satisfied to see sea turtles while snorkeling.
海もきれいでガイドさんも優しく、軽食もあり大変良いツアーでした
シュノーケリングでウミガメも見ることができて満足です
I participated in late April, and it was really cold. The sea is chilly. For those who get cold easily, I think it's good to have a thicker rash guard and a long-sleeve shirt to wear after swimming. T
4月下旬の参加でしたが、とにかく寒い
海が冷たいです

The Luau dinner event was awesome all my family enjoyed the food, drink and show.
I wish going back again.
The staff are great and helpful.
Great Hawaii culture.
Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!
Eat something light before you head out. Go early. Drink water. Enjoy!
I was a bit apprehensive after reading reviews about horses acting up, but the horse I rode was very calm and didn't act out at all! All the other horses were also well-behaved and adorable!
The guide spoke entirely in English, so I couldn't fully understand since I'm still studying the language. However, the guide communicated safety checks in Japanese during the ride, which made me feel very reassured! I hope to improve my English soon so I can participate again!
口コミで馬が暴れて大変だったなど等を見て少し身構えていましたが、とても大人しい馬で暴れるなどは全くありませんでした!他の方の馬も暴れることなくどの馬もみんな可愛かったです!
ガイドは全て英語のため、英語勉強中の私にはまだ理解できませんでした、、
乗馬中の安全確認はガイドさんが日本語で話しかけてくれたのでとても安心感がありました!早く英語が出来るようになってからまた参加したいと思いました!
Since the guide is entirely in English, those who are not proficient in English may find it difficult to understand the content.
ガイドは全て英語のため英語苦手な方は内容理解が難しいかと思います
On the first day of my trip, I was able to see a wonderful show, and it made me feel like I had truly arrived in Hawaii! The performers looked just like the celebrities, and the photo session after the show is a memorable experience!
旅行初日に素敵なショーを見ることが出来て、ハワイに来たなと実感出来ました!
有名人にもそっくりで、ショー後の写真撮影も思い出に残ってます!
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockafella Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show with your spouse. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the entertainment and the photo opportunities. It is an honor to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ オリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご夫婦ででご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エンターテインメントも写真撮影も楽しんで頂き嬉しく思います。ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことを光栄に思っております。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。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 didn't understand English, but a very kind Japanese person taught me throughout, allowing me to enjoy without any difficulties. The pool in Japan had views I had never seen before and numerous thrilling water slides, making it a lot of fun for us who love adrenaline-pumping rides. There are also some slightly scary slides, but there are gentle ones as well, so I thought it would be easy to give them a try. One day wasn't enough, so if I travel to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back.
英語がわからなかったのですが日本人の方がとても親切に終始教えてくださり不自由なく楽しむことができました。日本のプールでは見たことのない景色と数々のスリル満点のウォータースライダーがあり絶叫系が好きな私たちにとってとても楽しく過ごせました。また、少し怖いスライダーもありますが優しいスライダーもあるので気軽に挑戦できると思いました。1日じゃ物足りないくらいだったのでまたハワイに旅行に行く時があればぜひ行きたいです。
I felt that sunscreen and sunglasses are essentials. Also, since there are people who can speak Japanese, I think you can go with peace of mind. You can try bodyboarding with artificial waves, which i
日焼け止めとサングラスは必需品だと感じました。また、日本語が話せる方もいるので安心していけると思います。人工の波でボディーボードが挑戦できとても難しくて面白いのでぜひしてみてください。
I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.

We'll scheduled. Both drivers were really nice and friendly.
Two days before departing for Hawaii, I learned about "Auwana" and signed up just before leaving. Although I was in the second-floor seating, the venue was small enough that I enjoyed it thoroughly. The show allowed me to experience Hawaiian culture, and the performances were incredibly powerful. There was also a participatory program that was a lot of fun. The showtime flew by in an instant. Children can also enjoy it. For those traveling, I highly recommend checking it out.
ハワイ出発の二日前に「アウアナ」のことを知り、出発直前に申し込みました。
二階席でしたが、会場が狭いので十分楽しめました。ハワイの文化に触れながら見られるショーでパフォーマンスもすごい迫力でした。参加者型のプログラムもありとても楽しむことができました。ショータイムは、あっという間に過ぎてしまいます。子どもも楽しめます。旅行に行かれる方、是非見に行ってほしいと思います。
I think the seats on the first floor have more impact, but you can enjoy yourself just fine from the second floor as well. I thought food and drinks were prohibited, but that wasn't the case.
一階席の方が迫力があると思いますが、二階席でも十分楽しめます。
飲食禁止かと思っていましたが、大丈夫でした。
Our tour guide Sabrina was amazing. Incredibly sweet and authentic of a tour guide to have had showing us how much she loves her home of Kauai. I am from Oahu and wanted to share an experience with my husband the joy of the other hawaiian islands. Kauai is beautiful and I would recommend this tour to anyone. Mahalo to Sabrina for being amazing!
Aloha Brittany,
Mahalo nui loa for your kind words and your five-star review !
We're so happy to hear you and your husband had a memorable time exploring the beauty of Kaua‘i with Sabrina. She truly embodies the aloha spirit, and it's wonderful to know her love for her island home came through so authentically during your tour. It means so much to us that, as a kamaʻāina from O‘ahu, you chose to experience and share another island with your loved one through Polynesian Adventure.
We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Sabrina—she’ll be thrilled to hear them! We hope to welcome you both again for another island adventure soon.
With warm aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
The tour guide was great. We really enjoyed ourselves
I received a message the day before that the event might be canceled, and I was waiting for a notification on the day itself, but there was none. Somehow, I managed to get to the location with the rental car, but it was a bit hard to find.
With all that, I was feeling dissatisfied and anxious until it started, but once the horseback riding began, it was incredibly fun! The horses are just so smart. Since the altitude is high, it rained on some parts of the course, and there were muddy spots, but they walked very well.
The rain-soaked grasslands looked beautiful. In the midst of all this, a family of wild pigs, about ten of them, crossed the path like a scene from a movie. The two and a half hours flew by. It was truly a wonderful experience. I really want to go again!
前日に中止になるかもと連絡があり、当日の連絡を待っていましたが無し。何とかレンタカーが現地に行けましたが、少々分かりにくい場所です。
そんなこんなで始まるまでは不満と不安でしたが、実際に乗馬が始まると、めちゃくちゃ楽しい!
お馬さんがとにかく、賢いです。標高が高いので雨がコースによっては降ったので、泥濘みもありましたが、すごく上手に歩いてくれます。
雨に濡れた草原がキレイに映ります。
そんな中を映画の一コマみたいに野生の豚の親子が10匹程で横断します。2時間半があっという間にです。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。。
すごくまた、行きたいです。
It's an English lecture, but it's totally fine. The horse understands the course perfectly.
英語のレクチャーですが、全然大丈夫です。お馬さんがコースを完璧に理解しています。
I love zip-lining. I had done it in Japan before, but this one is on another level. Gliding while overlooking the canyon is just amazing.
ジップラインが好きです日本でもやったことはありましたが、こちらは別格です。
渓谷を見渡しながら滑り抜けるのは、気持ちよ過ぎです。
The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊
Aloha Amy,
Thank you for your 5-star rating. We are happy that you enjoyed our tour very much.

We participated as a couple. It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean, just a short distance from the port to the sandbar. The afternoon snorkeling was wonderful as we could enjoy the corals and many fish. The guides and staff who spoke Japanese were cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.
夫婦で参加させていただきました。サンドバーまで港からすぐで海の真ん中に立ってられるのが不思議でした。午後のシュノーケルでもサンゴやたくさんの魚を観賞できて素晴らしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんやスタッフの方々も明るく楽しめました。
After getting out of the bus or water, it gets cold, so be sure not to forget to bring something to wear or a large towel.
バスや水から上がった後は冷えるので必ず羽織るものや大きめのタオルを忘れないように。
Cast and crew were excellent. Very entertaining and informative. Great for adults and kids. Fern Grotto should not be missed.
We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none
Better picture taking position
Mahalo for taking the time to leave a review with us. We’re so glad to hear you had a really good time on the canoe! We're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the photos—we understand how important those moments are. We've taken your feedback to heart and have been working on a new way to share photos with our guests that allows for more flexibility and better coverage. We appreciate your patience and hope to welcome you back again soon!
I enjoyed being able to see various stages, including hula dance, entertainment, and fire dance. The meals were also satisfying.

All the years I've been coming to Oahu, I've never done anything like this excursion! Best money spent on a family outing. It was majestic! The live music was beautiful, the lunch was outstanding! The crew and captain were so friendly and really made you feel included and very welcome, like a trip out with old friends. I cannot say enough about how special and memorable this trip was. Core memories built! Thanks you so so much Kbos! Special shout out to Braddah From our hometown of Vallejo Ca.! Do yourself a favor and just go!
Go early, get some food from the little store at the Harbor it's ono, drink lots of water!

I had the opportunity to see the much-talked-about Cirque du Soleil show "AUANA," which started last December!
I attended the 8:30 PM performance this time. If you have an early dinner, it’s perfectly timed for after the meal. For dinner, I went to Maui Brewing located in the lobby of Outrigger Beachcomber. It’s situated directly below the AUANA venue, and you can already feel a hint of the Cirque du Soleil atmosphere.
After enjoying a light beer and meal, it was finally time for the theater. I simply presented the QR code ticket I received via email, and the staff smoothly guided me in. It was very convenient. Surrounding the theater, there are small food stalls and restrooms. It’s great to be able to take care of any restroom needs before the show starts.
Passing through the carpet marked with "AUANA," I entered the venue. My seat was in Category 3, located at the back left when facing the stage. When I compared it to the seat map beforehand, I wondered if I should have chosen a closer seat, but this turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The theater is compact, so I didn’t feel far from the stage and could feel the performers' energy. Additionally, being able to view the performance from a higher perspective allowed me to appreciate the full use of the stage, making it possibly the best seat after all.
The show consists of eight acts, each linked to a Hawaiian story. It began with a swinging performance that conveyed the history of how Polynesians arrived in Hawaii. The intensity was incredible and quite thrilling. The show continued with comedic acts, beautifully graceful female dances, nail-biting balance performances, and dynamic acts inspired by volcanoes—there was so much to see!
Before I knew it, we were at the final act. By that point, I was completely immersed in the world of AUANA, and I found myself tearing up uncontrollably. I ended up giving a standing ovation with teary eyes! I am grateful and moved to have been able to come to Hawaii and see AUANA. Right after it ended, I thought, "I want to see it again!" and now I have one more reason to return to Hawaii!
The show progresses without any verbal explanations, so even those who are not confident in English will be fine. There are performances in the aisle between the front and back seats, so for those who want to see the whole show, sitting in the back is better, while those who want to see the performance up close should choose seats in the front. Since I watched from the back this time, I’m thinking I’d like to experience the intensity from the front next time.
昨年12月からスタートしたシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ「アウアナ」!話題のショーをこの度初めて見させて頂きました!
私が参加したのは、今回は20:30からの回でした。少し早めに夕食を取れば、食後にちょうど良いタイミングです。
当日の夕食はアウトリガー•ビーチコマーのロビー会にあるマウイブリューイングさんへ。アウアナ会場のちょうど真下に位置しており、既にシルク・ド・ソレイユの世界観が少し漂ってきます。
軽くビールと食事を楽しんだあとは、いよいよシアターへ。事前にメールでもらっていたQRコード付きチケットを出すだけで、受付の方にスムーズに案内いただけました。楽ちんです。シアターの周囲には小さな飲食の売店とお手洗いがあります。トイレが気にならないよう、ショーの前に小用を済ませておけるのは嬉しいところ。売店もマウイブリューイングと連動しており、追加のビールも買うことができました笑
'AUANAと書かれたカーペットを抜けて、いざ入場です。
今回の席はカテゴリー3。ステージを正面に見て、左奥の位置でした。事前にシートマップと見比べたときは、もう少し近い方が良かったかなぁ、と悶々していましたが、これが嬉しい誤算!
シアター自体がコンパクトな作りになっているため、遠方と感じることなく十分にステージの息遣いを感じられる席でした。かつ、俯瞰して演出を見られる位置でもあるので、ステージを目一杯使ってパフォーマンスが繰り広げられることを考えると、むしろベスト席だったかも…なんて思ったりしますり。
ショーは8つの演目で構成され、それぞれがハワイの物語と連動しています。ポリネシアの人々がハワイにたどり着いた歴史を伝えるブランコのショーからスタート。いきなり迫力がすごく、ハラハラでした。その後もコミカルタッチの演目や、美しくしなやかな女性の演舞、つい手に汗握るバランスパフォーマンス、火山をイメージしたダイナミックな演技など、とにかく見どころが続きます。
気づいたらあっという間に最終演目。その頃には完全にアウアナの世界に引き込まれており、勝手に涙が止まらなくなっていました。最後は目を潤ませながらスタンディングオベーション!
今回ハワイに来れたこと、アウアナを見られたことに感謝、感激です。終わってすぐに「また見たい!」と思え、次またハワイに来る理由が1つ増えました!
ショーは全て言葉の説明なく進みますので、英語が不安な方でも大丈夫。前方席と後方席の間の通路でもパフォーマー演出があるので、全体を見たい方は後ろから、より間近に演技を見たい方は前方側の席が良いかと思います。
私は今回後ろからの観劇でしたので、次回は正面前方から迫力を感じてみたいなぁ、なんて思っています。
I think you can be moved from any seat. It seems good to choose a seat category that matches the angle you want to see. The venue can get chilly, so it's a good idea to have a jacket.
どの座席から見ても感動できると思います。見たい画角に合わせて、座席カテゴリーを選ぶと良さそうです。会場は冷える場合があるので、上着が一枚あると安心です。
