I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.
At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.
The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.
If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.
The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.
ゴールデンシート<前方席確約>で参加しました。席も良かったですし,ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので,この席にして良かったと思います。
会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので,着席するまでに長い行列ができます。
スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが,チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は,ショーの最後の方で,5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。
1時間近く待つのが嫌なら,18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。
ショーは,ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて,楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが,英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel right in front of Kailua Pier, so it was easy to walk there for the 7:30 AM meeting. Once on the boat, there was a buffet area with bread and fruit, and coffee and water were also available for free.
After about 40 to 50 minutes of traveling along the bay, they provided explanations about various buildings and scenery, all in English. I just enjoyed the atmosphere. The Kanoa II is a large catamaran, but the swaying in the open sea was quite significant. There were about 40 passengers, and it seemed that around 20% of them looked a bit green. I recommend taking motion sickness medication about an hour before boarding.
When we arrived at the snorkeling point, all passengers were gathered on the first floor for about 10 minutes of safety instructions, also in English. They mentioned that in case of an emergency, the horn would sound five times, so we should return to the boat immediately, not to stand on the coral, and not to stray too far from the boat. I think as long as you don't act too differently from those around you, you'll be fine. The snorkeling point is about 15 meters deep and incredibly clear and beautiful. There are quite a few fish, but the water is cold! They seem to rent out wetsuits for a fee, so if you're not confident, it might be a good idea to borrow one. I gave up after about 20 minutes of swimming due to the cold and the waves, and returned to the boat early. The boat stays here for about an hour, and it might be tough for those who are sensitive to motion.
For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers and vegetables on the spot, and you can make your own cheeseburger at the buffet. It was quite delicious! If you're not feeling seasick, definitely give it a try (laughs).
On the way back, it takes about another hour to return to Kailua Pier.
The boat is large and has a flushing toilet, which someone mentioned is much cleaner than many public restrooms. There’s a bar area, and soft drinks seem to be free. The staff comes around to each table to ask if you need any drinks. Smoothies and cocktails appear to be for a fee.
Among the participants, we were the only Japanese, but the handsome and beautiful staff frequently checked on us, so we were able to relax without worry. The sea water is cold, but the wind on the way back is also quite chilly. If you're in a wet swimsuit, you're bound to catch a cold. I recommend bringing something to wear over it, like a windbreaker.
カイルア桟橋の目の前のキングカメハメハホテルに泊まっていたので、朝7時半の集合も何の苦もなく歩いて行けました。
船に乗り込むと、ビュッフェコーナーにパンとフルーツが置いてあり、コーヒーやお水も含め、取り放題です。
出発して40分~50分ほど、湾に沿って移動をし、その間いろんな建造物や風景の説明をしてくれるのですが、すべて英語です。雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
カノアII号は大きな双頭船ですが、外洋の揺れはかなり大きく、乗客は40名ほどいたでしょうか、そのうち2割ほどはグロッキーになっていたように見えました。乗船する1時間ほど前には酔い止めをしっかり飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。
シュノーケリングポイントに着くと、乗客全員が1階に集められ、注意事項の説明が10分ほどあります。これもすべて英語です。
緊急の時はホーンを5回鳴らすからすぐに船に戻ってね、サンゴの上には立たないでね、船からあまり離れないでね、後いろいろ言ってたと思うのですが、まぁ周りの人とあまり異なる行動をしなければOKかと思います。
シュノーケリングポイントは、深さ15メートルぐらいあるでしょうか。さすがに澄んでいてとてもキレイです。お魚もそこそこいます。ただ、水が冷たい!!
有料でウェットスーツも貸し出しているようなので、自信のない方は借りた方がいいかも。私も20分ほど泳いで寒さと波の高さにギブアップです。早々に船に引き上げました。
船はここで1時間ほど停泊しています。ずっと揺れてますのでつらい人にはつらいかも。
ランチはスタッフがその場で焼いてくれたハンバーグや野菜がビュッフェコーナーに並び、自分でチーズバーガーを作って食べます。かなり美味しかったですよ!酔ってなければぜひ召し上がってください(笑)。
そして帰りはまた小一時間ほどかけてカイルア桟橋に戻る感じです。
船は大きくてトイレも水洗、どなたかが書いていましたがそんじょそこらのトイレよりよっぽどキレイです。
バーコーナーがあって、ソフトドリンクは無料のようです。スタッフが各テーブルを回って飲み物いらないか?と聞きに来てくれます。スムージーやカクテルは有料のようです。
参加者のうち、日本人は私達だけでしたが、美男美女のスタッフがしょっちゅう様子を見に来てくれるので、気にせず過ごせました。
海の水も冷たいですが、行き帰りの風もかなり寒いです。濡れたままの水着だと漏れなく風邪をひきそうです。ウィンドブレーカーなど、上に羽織るものを持参される事をお勧めします。

We had such a good time. There was 7 of us in our group. Some of us had been to Oahu before and some had not. We wanted to take a smaller, more personal tour. So we could all be TOGETHER and learn some of the history of the islands while seeing all the sights.
Our driver was insightful, and fun. He answered all of our inquiries with so much knowledge.
Everyone of us enjoyed the whole tour. It was nice to be able to talk, visit, take pictures and not have to worry about driving and finding the way ourselves.
We didn't feel rushed... got to see everything at each stop.

大型船でのホエールウォッチングツアー。過去にもいろいろ参加しましたが、見えることは見えるのですが、小型ボートほど小回りもスピードもないので、近くではみえないだろうなあ、とあまり期待はしてませんでした。まあ、ハワイ島のきれいな海をクルーズしてこよう、と思って参加しました。

The sunrise from Haleakalā was breathtaking. I highly recommend it.
Even though there are entry restrictions, about 450 people visit every morning, so it gets very crowded. During this tour, I was given various tips on where to wait, allowing me to see the sunrise from the best position.
As noted, you need to prepare for the cold as you wait at the summit, which is 3,000 meters high, about an hour before sunrise, similar to what you would need for a ski resort. If it’s too cold, you can also view it from inside the visitor center. Although it will be through glass, it seems there is heating inside.
ハレアカラから見るサンライズ、感動しました。おすすめです。
入場制限がかかったとはいえ、毎朝450人位の人達が訪れるとのことで、非常に混雑します。今回のツアーでは、どこで待っていれば良いか色々教えてもらったので、ベストポジションでサンライズを見ることが出来ました。
注意書きにも書いてありますが、日の出の1時間くらい前から3000mの山頂で待つので、スキー場に行く位の防寒準備が必要です。どうしても寒い場合は、ビジターセンターの中からでも見ることが出来るとの事です。ガラス越しにはなりますが、暖房は入っているようです。

All the performers did a great job impersonating each artist. The guy who was doing the fire performance did a awesome job, I thought that was very impressive and entertaining. After all the performance we were able to actually meet and take pictures with the them.

We enjoyed our meal on the terrace, and the roast beef and whole roasted pig were delicious. During the meal, we were entertained with hula dancing and ukulele music. After the meal, we entered the venue, and even though they were impersonators, the quality was so high that it felt like we were watching the real thing. The performers were very engaging, coming down to the floor to interact with the guests, and we got to enjoy songs like Elvis, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, and "Over the Rainbow," while also learning about the history of Hawaii. They provided entertainment from the meal to the show without missing a beat. This is a must-do. I will definitely book this again for my next trip to Hawaii!
食事はテラスで頂き、ローストビーフや豚の丸焼きなど、おいしかったです。食事中はフラダンスやウクレレで食事中も楽しませて頂きました。食事後に会場内に入り、そっくりさんと言えども、その質の高さは、本物をみているような錯覚すら覚えました。サービス精神旺盛でフロアに降りてきて、客と触れ合い、エルビス、マイケルジャクソン、Katy Perry 、Over the rainbowなどを聞きながらのハワイの歴史にも触れさせて頂きました。食事時からショーまで余すことなく楽しませてくれます。これは、一押しです。次のハワイの時も申し込みます!

The dinner included a choice of pork, chicken, vegetables, starches and a wide variety and foods. The dessert choices included brownies and ice cream. I felt full for days on end.

I was ready to give up on the fire show due to the surprisingly heavy rain, but the MC said, "We can't really do this, but we still want to," and started the show, which made me happy.
Since our seats were indoors and arranged in a way that wasn't around the central stage but rather in a front-to-back order, choosing the diamond seats was the right decision. In my case, I had heard about the bad weather and how easy it is to get lost, so I arrived an hour early and got a good seat. However, even with diamond seats, it's first-come, first-served, so if you want a better seat, it's advisable to arrive early.
The show itself is conducted entirely in English, so it might be better for those who understand a bit of English or can enjoy the atmosphere. My companion wasn't very good at English, but they were really moved by the show!
ビックリするぐらいの雷雨でファイアショーは諦めていたのですがMCの方が「本当はできないけどやっぱりみたいよね」とショーを始めて下さったので私的にはハッピーでした。
席も屋内だったので、中心の舞台を囲むタイプではなく、前から順だったのでダイヤモンドにして正解でした。ただ私の場合、悪天候の事や迷いやすいという話を聞いていたので1時間前から行っていたのでいい席でしたが、いくらダイヤモンドでも早い者順なので、少しでも良い席が良いのなら早めに行くと良いかと…
ショー自体は、終始英語でのMCや案内になるので英語が多少わかるか、雰囲気を楽しめる方の方が良いかも知れないです。
実際に私の連れも英語は苦手でしたが、ショーは凄く感動してくれていたので!

I signed up at the last minute the night before. The meeting place, Kailua Pier, is right next to the King Kamehameha Hotel, so it's very easy to find. I was staying at the Sheraton, so I just took the trolley back and forth. During the tour, they worked hard to find whales, but it seems that the sudden warm weather was the reason we couldn't see any. However, I was able to see dolphins jumping, and on the way back, I received a free ticket valid for the next few years. During the cruise, drinks and snacks were provided, and all the staff were friendly, so I was personally satisfied. I don't think many people get seasick, but the front of the boat can be a bit shaky, and you might get splashed, so be careful.
前日の夜にギリギリで申し込みました。集合場所のカイルアピアは、キングカメハメハ ホテルの隣なので、非常に分かりやすいです。私はシェラトンに宿泊していたので、ひたすらトロリーに乗って往復しました。ツアーでは、一生懸命クジラを探してくれていましたが、急に暖かくなったことが原因のようで、観ることは出来ませんでした。しかし、イルカの飛び跳ねる様を観ることができた上、帰りの際に、今後数年有効の次回無料チケットを頂けました。クルーズ中には、飲み物やスナックが提供され、スタッフが皆フレンドリーでしたので、個人的には満足です。船酔いする人はあまりいないと思いますが、先頭は揺れがあり、水飛沫が掛かることがあるので注意が必要です。

We started with a buffet on the terrace, where the dancers welcomed us!

The show was full of Hawaiian vibes, featuring performances like Michael's and fire shows, so it was never boring! I didn't know many of the songs, but my mother had a great time.
The dancing was of a very high level and captivating. I'm glad we had such a wonderful night.

The show was absolutely satisfying. Both the women and men were wonderful. When it was time to leave, the performers took photos with those who wanted them. It became a great memory.

I made a reservation a week before the participation date, and it was for my second choice of time. The 9 AM slot is quite popular, so we participated at 7 AM. However, departing during the dim light of dawn allowed us to be moved by the changing scenery of the Big Island of Hawaii!
If you're staying at the Waikoloa Resort and have rented a car, I think it's better to go directly rather than waiting for the hotel pickup. It saves time and is smoother.
Fortunately, our guide was Toshi, a Japanese staff member, who was very friendly and, despite the early hour, guided us with high energy. (According to another guide in Hawaii, this person's helicopter tour is the most luxurious Japanese-language tour on the Big Island...) He provided guidance in English for the American couple we rode with and in Japanese for us, showing great consideration, even offering cool air to me when I felt nauseous. When there are foreign participants, the main guidance will be in English, so having a basic understanding of English can make the tour more enjoyable.
Of course, the volcano is a must-see, but I highly recommend the canyon as well. It's difficult to access the canyon on ground tours, so seeing it from the air in this tour really changes your image of the Big Island.
I tend to get seasick, and I forgot about that when I joined the tour, which significantly affected my enjoyment due to helicopter motion sickness... The volcano and canyon involve several turns and significant shaking, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it. They sell motion sickness medication at the reception, but since you might not know if it suits you, it's best to bring your own. They do provide etiquette bags and wet tissues inside the helicopter. There is a break at Hilo Airport, so you won't be on the helicopter for two hours straight.
I ended up feeling quite groggy from motion sickness, but even so, I was very satisfied with this tour!
コナ発で参加日の一週間前の予約、第2希望の時間帯でした。やはり9時からは人気で私達は7時からの参加でした。ですが、夜明けの薄暗い時間帯に出発することで時間によるハワイ島の景色の変化に感動させられました!
ワイコロアリゾートに宿泊していてレンタカーを借りている方はホテルのピックアップを待つより直接行ったほうがいいかなと思います。時間かからないのでスムーズです。
スタッフは運良く日本人スタッフのToshiさんで、非常に気さくで早朝にもかかわらずハイテンションでガイドしてしていただきました。(別のハワイのガイドさん曰くこの人のヘリコプターツアーがハワイ島で一番贅沢な日本語ツアーだとか…)一緒に乗ったアメリカ人夫婦には英語、私達には日本語でガイドしてくださり、酔ってしまった私にも冷風を当ててくれたりと気遣いがとてもよかったです。外国人参加者と同席になると当たり前ですか、英語がメインのガイドになりますので多少の英語が理解できるとより楽しいツアーになるかと思います。
火山はもちろんのことおすすめは渓谷です。渓谷は地上のツアーでは入ることが入ることが難しいので空から見られるこのツアーで、ハワイ島のイメージがかなり変わります。
私は船酔いが激しくそのことを忘れてツアーに参加してしまったためかなりヘリコプター酔いに楽しい時間が邪魔されてしまいました…火山と渓谷は旋回が何回も揺れも大きいので船酔いが激しい方は酔い止めを飲んで参加することをおすすめします。受付で酔い止めも販売されていますが体に合うかわからないので持参した酔い止めがおすすめです。一応エチケット袋とウエットティシュはヘリコプター内に常備されています。ヒロ空港で休憩がありますので2時間乗りっぱなしということではないです。
乗り物酔いでかなりグロッキーになってしまいましたが、そんな私でも今回のツアーはかなり満足できるものになりました!

What an amazing trip! you will not be disappointed! Diane picked us up at our Condominium and we picked up other passengers and went to have a continental breakfast. While at the home base, they give you extra layers of coats, ear muffs, and gloves to wear. We were prepared and had our heavy winter coats, but took these extra provisions just in case. I was so glad that we did! It was awesome to layer up as it is very cold before sunrise at the top and you do stand out in the cold as the sun begins its ascent.
One of the other guides or park rangers performed a chant as the sun rose which was very special.
Our Guide Diane was really great! So cheerful and personable the entire time. She drove safely up and down the mountain (we were SO glad we chose to do the tour instead of attempting to drive it ourselves). Diane peppered the journey with insightful facts and history. We learned so much about the history of Maui, culture of Hawaii, indigenous and protected species, and so much more! Truly a joy!
After sunrise, we also went up to the Summit, then stopped at several places on the way back down the mountain for sight seeing before heading to Breakfast. The Hot Chocolate was the best I have ever had! Great food!
Could not be more thrilled with this tour! Highly recommended

This was one of the things we had scheduled in advance of our trip to Oahu, because we had heard nothing but good things about the cruise. They did not disappoint. From our meet and great with the captain to the final departure from the ship, everything was first class. The entire crew was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Our server, Germese, could not have been any nicer and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We also enjoyed the live entertainment during and after dinner. It did start to rain as we were heading back to the dock, but the crew took very good care of us and walked us out to our transportation with umbrellas. Would definitely cruise again if we get back to Waikiki. We would certainly recommend the Star of Honolulu to anyone who wants to be treated perfectly. Aloha!

First, we had dinner. The server was kind and tried to liven up the atmosphere. They were more attentive than those at high-end restaurants, so I was satisfied with both the taste and the service!
I think the show is also worth seeing. Since I am a fan of Michael Jackson, it was amusing when the impersonator came out. The backup dancers were well-prepared, and the effects were impressive, making it a more authentic show than I expected!
まずは、夕食をいただきました。サーバーの方が親切で場を盛り上げようとしてくれました。高級レストランよりも気配りができるサーバーの方でしたので、味もサービスも満足でした!
ショーも見る価値があると思います。もともと私自身がマイケルジャクソンのファンでもあるので、偽マイケルジャクソンがでてきた時は面白かったです。バックダンサーもしっかりついており、効果もしっかりしており、思っていたよりも本格的なショーで楽しめました!!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。

It was something to do on a rainy day to fill a couple hours.

I prefer traditional hula (kahiko), and although there were luau shows at the hotel where I stayed, most of them were Polynesian shows. That's why I deliberately chose this "Traditional Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show - Old Lahaina Luau." As I expected, the show featured a lot of traditional hula (kahiko), and I was satisfied. Those who prefer fire dancing may not be as pleased. The meal was served buffet-style, with dishes generously plated according to the order of each group's seating. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the poke was very delicious. I also requested through Veltra to have a "floor seating" arrangement in advance. Cushions were provided, so there was no need for additional mats. Moreover, since we were in the front row, taking photos and videos was perfect without anyone's head getting in the way. I recommend requesting front row seating. There is parking available, but I parked at the Lahaina Cannery Mall parking lot on the opposite side, which was spacious and, of course, free. I highly recommend it!
私は古典フラ(カヒコ)が好みで宿泊ホテル先でもルアウショーはあったのですがルアウショーの多くはポリネシアンショーの為敢えてこの「伝統ルアウ&フラ ハワイアンショー オールド・ラハイナ・ルアウ」を選びました。思った通りショーの内容は、古典フラ(カヒコ)が多く、満足しました。ファイアダンスが好みの人は満足しないかも知れません。食事も席毎グループの順番でビュフェスタイルでお皿にしっかり盛り付けしました。ドリンクも飲み放題でポキがとっても美味しかったです。席もあらかじめveltraさんに依頼し”床に座る席”にしてもらいました。座布団が用意されていましたので敷物は不要でした。しかも最前席でしたので写真・ビデオ撮影も人の頭も邪魔にならずバッチリでした。最前列を依頼する事をお薦めします。駐車場はありますが反対側のラハイナキャネリー・モールの駐車場が広くこちらに駐車しました。無論無料でした.....是非お勧めします。

The tour guide was a blast but it rained all day so it could have been better.

We would recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center to everyone, all ages. Everyone there was very eager to share their unique cultures, they were so friendly, knowledge and fun.

We had a great time on the tour.
Our tour guide Judy was very knowledgeable regarding the locations we visited.
She added humor to the entire trip which made the tour seem very personal for everyone involved.
