The Smith's family is awesome and entertaining. Wear mosquito repellent when going, just a taught. They sing and entertain as you travel up the fern grotto and had us all doing the hoki pokie. We will be doing their luau too so we'll let you know how it goes!

We had a great evening. Only complaint is the seating is in the direct sun. They let us in at 545
Drinks good, food good. Main show started a 8 pm. They close down buffet pretty fast. We will do this again.

I previously participated in a luau at Hilton on the Big Island, but this was my first time on Oahu. It was a luau on a rooftop surrounded by hotels, and the show was wonderful. If I understood a bit more English, I might have grasped the explanations better, but I still enjoyed the stage performance. After the show, the dancers were also happy to take photos, and it seemed like the kids had a great time. Above all, it really felt like I was in Hawaii.
以前はハワイ島でヒルトンのルアウに参加しましたが、今回はオアフでの初参加でした。
ホテルに囲まれた屋上でのルアウでしたが、ショーは素敵なものでした。
もう少し英語が分かれば、説明している内容も分かったのでしょうけど、それでもステージは楽しめました。
ショーが終われば、ダンサー達も気軽に写真にも応じてもらえますし、子供も楽しめていたようでした。何より、ハワイに来たな〜と感じられます。

I wasn't expecting much from the food or the show, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable and delicious! When Michael came out, it was the best! I didn't know they had shows like this in Hawaii. The hula dancing was also wonderful. It's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

Our pilot Ken Jones was great. He made us all feel very safe and he was very knowledgeable about the entire island. The pre-flight was very thorough and covered all of our concerns before we boarded the helicopter. We were very lucky with the weather and we saw canyons and peaks that are often inaccessible due to low cloud cover. Highly recommend this company.
Aloha Steve - We appreciate you taking time to send this to us. We'll be sure that Ken gets a copy. We hope you enjoyed your time in the islands and perhaps will visit us again.

We arrived at the scheduled time and greeted by our NASA ambassador, astronomer, Greg.
He was so enthusiastic and pointed so many amazing things to see in the night sky. My favorite was seeing Saturn! The GPS telescope was very impressive.
It was a beautiful location to learn about the stars, planets, and our solar galaxy as the sun went down over the horizon.
We will be back!

Among the various OP tours I participated in, I felt the most anxious at the meeting point. This was because there were two large buses lined up, and a huge crowd was waiting, with Japanese people clearly being the only ones there. The departure time was approaching, and I wondered, where is the pick-up? I thought it was unlikely, but when I went to the front of the first bus, it turned out that these two buses were indeed heading to Paradise Cove. After presenting my voucher and confirming my name, I took a seat in an empty spot, but unlike everyone else who was excitedly chatting with the guide's fun explanations, I felt out of place. Still, the guide, who distributed cards usable within the facility, tried to explain using the translation function on their smartphone screen. After passing Waikele and entering the Ko Olina Resort area, we reached a famous spot for wedding photos! We crossed the tracks of the tourist train, and soon arrived. Participants lined up to receive welcome drinks and had their photos taken one group at a time (you'll get them back on the return bus!). Until the show started, we could enjoy ourselves freely. You can experience various events with the card you received, such as making flower leis and bracelets, riding canoes, getting designs painted on your arms like tattoos, and participating in paid photo shoots. You can also shop for souvenirs, tropical drinks, and shaved ice. As it got darker, the excitement grew, and while taking photos here and there, it seemed the whole roasted pig was ready too. After climbing the palm trees and participating in the fishing net pulling event, the buffet was not luxurious but had a menu that was easy for us to eat, including white rice, and we were sufficiently full. The traditional luau, which I was looking forward to the most, featured various dances one after another, with scenes for audience participation. Although I couldn't understand the host's talk at all, the other guests were having a great time. Not only Hawaiian dances but also, probably? Polynesian dances were showcased, and the climax of the fire dance at night was impressive and moving, even from the side seats. On the return bus heading to Waikiki, we soaked in the afterglow and felt satisfied while looking at the downtown scenery. Lastly, within the facility, cold water and coffee were freely available, there were trash disposal options, and the clean restrooms were reassuring to use, so it was really great.
幾つか参加したOPツアーの中、集合場所で最も不安に感じました。というのも、大型バスが2台並んでいて、ものすごく大勢が待っている中、日本人は明らか自分たちのみ。出発時間は迫るし、迎えって、どこに来るの???まさかと思って先頭のバスの前に行ってみると、まさにこの2台がパラダイス・コーブに向かうバスだったのです。バウチャーを提示して名前を確認の上、空席に座るものの、ガイドさんの楽しそうな説明?に、道中から盛り上がる皆さんと違って、キョドるばかりの私たち。それでも、施設内で使えるカードを配るガイドさんは、スマホの翻訳機能の画面で、何とか説明しようとして下さいました。ワイケレを過ぎて、コオリナ・リゾート地区に入ると、ウエディングフォトの名スポット!観光列車鉄道の線路を渡って、まもなく到着します。参加者は、ずらっと並んで、ウエルカムドリンクを受取り、1組ごとに写真撮影(←帰りのバスでもらえます!)ショーが始まるまでは、自由にお楽しみ♡♡生花でレイや腕輪を作る、カヌーに乗る、タトゥーのように腕に絵を描いてもらう、有料の写真撮影に参加する等々、もらったカードでお好みの色んなイベントを体験できます。土産物やトロピカルなドリンクやかき氷などの買い物もできます。辺りが暗くなるほどにワクワク感が増して、あちこちで写真撮影をする内に、豚の丸焼きも焼けたようです(^^♪ ヤシの木にするする登ったり、漁網を引く催しの後のビュッフェは、高級とは言えないものの、自分たちにも食べやすいメニューで、白いご飯もあって、十分満腹になりました。一番楽しみにしていた伝統のルアウ、ハワイアン レビューは、様々な踊りが次々に繰り出され、観客参加のシーンも交えて、司会?されているお話は、ちっとも理解できないながら、他のお客様は大盛り上がりでした。ハワイだけでなく、多分?ポリネシアのダンスも披露され、夜になってクライマックスのファイヤーダンスは、サイド席からでも迫力があり感動的でした。ワイキキに向かう帰りのバスも、余韻に浸って満足感でほっこりしつつ、ダウンタウンの街並みを眺め帰着しました。最後に!施設内では、冷水やコーヒーは自由に飲め、ゴミ捨ても用意されて、清潔なトイレも安心して利用できたので、本当に良かったです。

Since it was an English tour, there were only three of us Japanese participants. We were packed into a small bus to full capacity and set off. The male guide was friendly, taking pictures for us at the rest stop, but the shopping planned at Clar Lodge was canceled without any explanation. After watching the sunset from the summit, we were all dropped off at the dining location without any follow-up. We were just ushered into the restaurant, where our seats were taken by other tour participants, leaving us feeling excluded.
I joined the English tour knowing what to expect, and I didn't anticipate the detailed support typical of Japanese tours, but it didn't turn out to be a very good experience, which is disappointing.
英語のツアーということで、日本人参加者は私たち3人のみ。
小型のバスに満員状態で詰め込まれ出発。
ガイドの男性は休憩場所で写真撮ってくれたりとフレンドリーでしたが、工程に入っていたクラロッジでのショッピングもなんの説明もないまま無しになり山頂で夕日をみたあと、食事の場所で全員バスを下ろされ、何もフォローないまま、レストランに入れられ、座席も他のツアー参加者に占領され、爪弾き状態に…
英語ツアーとわかって参加し、日本ツアーの細やかなフォローを期待して行ったわけではないですが、あまりいい思い出にならず、残念でした
ハレアカラのサンセットツアーがご期待に沿えなかったことをお詫び申し上げます。残念ながら、このツアーは日本語では提供しておりません。ツアーの一部を日本語で聞くことができるiPadを受け取っているはずですので、ツアーについてもっと理解し学ぶことができたはずです。お客様のコメントをマウイのマネージャーと共有し、他の日本人ゲストがより良い体験をされることを願っております。
We apologize the Haleakala Sunset tour did not meet your expectations...unfortunately, we do not offer this tour in Japanese. You should have received an ipad that allows you to select to hear some of the narrated tour in the Japanese language so you could understand and learn more about the tour. We will share your comments with our Maui manager and hope other Japanese guests will have a better experience.

It was a buffet, but there weren't many options. It seems that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, but I arrived just in time and ended up in the last row. Moreover, right in front of me, there were reserved seats that no one was sitting in. I wish they had opened up the seats that weren't occupied by showtime. Honestly, I was standing up and watching from a very far distance, and at this price, I felt it wasn't worth it.
ビュッフェでしたが、あまり種類がありません。お席は先着順らしいのですが、時間ギリギリに行ったので最後列。しかも、真ん前正面は、席を取り置きしながら、誰も座っておらず空席。ショーの時間に着席していない席は開放して欲しかったです。すごく遠くから、立ち上がって見ていましたので正直、この価格でこれはないな。と思いました。

If you're in Hawaii and not heading up Haleakala or Mauna Loa, this is the best stargazing experience you can get (in my still limited experience). Greg took us through the solar system and out into the Milky Way, showing evergreens like Jupiter and Saturn together with more exotic objects like supernova remnants and binary stars (including a spectacular yellow and blue pair). Great!
We attended the 21:00 show in mid-July - dark enough, although the almost full moon did make things complicated when objects got a bit close to it. On the flip side though, getting to take pictures of that moon with your phone through the telescope lens at the end provides a great souvenir! Our seven year-old also really enjoyed the show.
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars !!
