Hawaii
When you pay $250 for a luau, you kind of expect something fabulous and I honestly felt like I bought this on Temu. We got super cheap shell lays, and and parents were letting their kids run everywhere and even standing up and stepping in front of you as you’re trying to take a photo, the visibility was poor from our seat seats. The pork was so dry. The only good thing was the unlimited drinks however the drink selection was limited and so sugary. Honestly, I’ve never wanted my money back so bad in my entire life.
Search around because you can pay less and get better!!!
Very relaxing, informative, and tons of fun. Tia. Naya, and Hunter did an amazing job!
I wanted to see a Hawaiian dinner show for at least one night, so I made a reservation. Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, this dinner show on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center was conveniently close. The hula dancers were cute and very soothing⭐︎ The dinner buffet felt a bit short, especially by the time we got to dessert, since we went to the neighboring Rock Theater afterward. The show was also quite long, and it seemed like my mother, who is in her 70s, enjoyed it as well.
一晩くらいはハワイアンディナーショーを観たくて予約。宿泊がシェラトンワイキキだったので、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階で過ごせるこちらのディナーショーは近くて良かった。フラのお姉さんが可愛くて癒されました⭐︎ディナービュッフェはデザートまでいくと以外と時間が短かったかな?食べてからとなりのロックシアターに行くので。ショーも長めで一緒に行った70代の母も楽しめたようです。
The show is a bit long, so it's a good idea to use the restroom before entering. Since the air conditioning is strong, it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up.
ショーは長めなので、入る前にトイレに行っておく、冷房がきいてるので長袖の羽織はあったほうが良いです。
この度は私共のロッカフラにお母様と一緒にお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。お泊りのホテルから徒歩数分とゆうことと全体的にエンターテインメントも満足して頂き嬉しく思っております。お写真も有難う御座います。次回もハワイでお待ちしております。
The Pearl Harbor Tour was everything I hoped it would be. Patrick was our very helpful and courteous bus driver and guide, and he was an excellent stand-in for Bob Hope who couldn’t be there. Patrick regaled us with jokes and historical anecdotes about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Though his Elvis Presley and Don Ho imitations need a little work, Patrick made the trip quite enjoyable. I did not previously know about Elvis Presley’s contribution to the Arizona Memorial, nor did I know that the Walmart in Oahu had to keep its Spam under lock and key because it is a highly pilfered item in Hawaii. Mahalo, Patrick.
Bus seats on the driver's right afford the best vantage to take pictures while in the Punch Bowl.
The horses were well-trained, which made me feel very safe while riding. My family of four experienced this together, and it was interesting to see that the horses also have their own relationships; they seemed to have preferences, as some horses didn't get along well and couldn't maintain a good distance from each other.
Unfortunately, due to several days of heavy rain, we couldn't follow the usual course, and the actual time spent riding was less than an hour, which was disappointing.
よく調教されているお馬さん達で、とても安心して乗馬することができました。
家族4人で体験しましたが、それぞれの馬同士も相性があるらしく、嫌いな馬とは上手く距離がとれなかったりと、人間関係ならぬ馬関係も垣間見れ面白かったです。
何日かひどい雨が続いていたこともあり、通常のコースを歩くことができなかった為か、実際に馬に乗っていた時間は1時間にも満たなかったのが残念でした。
Had a great experience! Was able to contact the Vendor and reschedule time with no hassle. Option of dry or wet landing!
They take excellent pictures for an additional fee but they are worth buying!
Family members not flying, can purchase as an observer and follow along to watch.
Close to Waikiki, easy walk or commute to their location.
Enjoy!
Sam was a great leader and the ranch was a great experience we will never forget !
Although the weather was unfortunately rainy at times, riding the e-bike through Kualoa was very pleasant, and I would love to participate again. Since the bike can splash mud, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting dirty for those who will be joining in the future. The mud isn't just from the ground; it also includes oil from the four-wheeler buggies, which didn't come off even after washing at home. Also, sandals and Crocs are not allowed, and I was advised to buy water walking shoes sold at the souvenir shop. At the beginning of the tour, there is an explanation of the e-bikes and a test ride. It's not difficult, so I think anyone who can ride a regular bike will be fine. There will be time to stop and take photos at movie filming locations and air raid shelters. The guide speaks only English, so if you understand English, it will be even more enjoyable.
時折小雨の降るあいにくのお天気でしたが eバイクで駆けるクアロアは気持ちよくて
また参加したいです 自転車の泥がはねてズボンや背中が汚れますのでこれから参加される方は汚れてもいい服装をおすすめします 土の泥だけじゃなくて四輪バギーの油も含まれてるので帰宅後洗っても取れなかったです あと、サンダルやクロックスはNGで土産物屋に水中ウォーキング用の靴が売ってるのでそれを購入するよう言われました ツアーの始めにeバイクの説明やテスト走行があります 難しくはないので普通の自転車に乗れる人なら大丈夫だと思います 映画のロケ地や防空壕に立ち寄って写真を撮る時間をとってくれます ガイドは英語のみです 英語がわかればさらに楽しいものになるでしょう
You can watch the video for instructions and precautions. They will provide a video with Japanese subtitles, so those who don't understand English will be fine.
乗り方や注意点はビデオを見ます、日本語字幕のビデオを流してくれますので英語がわからない方も大丈夫
Seeing Diamond Head from the sky was amazing. The surprise when coming down was also fun. I had experienced parasailing in Okinawa, so I thought I wouldn't need motion sickness medication, but the waves in the open sea were intense, and I wished I had taken some.
空から見るダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした。降りてくる時のサプライズも楽しかったです。
沖縄でもパラセーリングは体験していたので、酔い止めは不要だと思っていたのですが、外海での波のうねり凄くて酔い止め飲めば良かったなと思いました。
It's better to bring cash for tips. Taking motion sickness medication will also make things easier.
チップのだめに現金を持って行ったほうが良いです。酔い止めも飲んだほうが楽です。
It was a very rare experience to see actual whales up close.
I was also surprised that we could hear the sounds of whales underwater.
It was a tour that left the whole family very satisfied.
実際の鯨を直接見る事ができる非常に貴重な体験でした
また水中の鯨の鳴き声も聞けることも驚きです
家族みんなで大満足のツアーでした
I heard that the encounter rate with whales is higher from morning to evening, but I made a last-minute reservation, so mine was scheduled for the early afternoon.
I heard from other participants tha
朝から夕方が鯨遭遇率が高いという話でしたが直前に予約した為、昼過ぎの予約となりました
他の参加者は夕方で多くの鯨に出会えたという話を聞いていたのでこちらの時間帯が良いかもしれません
Glad to hear you had a wonderful whale watch and had a fun whale encounter with us! Yes the location is a temporary location since we are still unable to return to Lahaina Harbor after the wildfire, once repairs are complete by the State we will return to our location at Lahaina Harbor which is much easier to find, mahalo!
At the end of March, we took a daytime departure. What we saw was a mother and baby whale swimming alongside us and spouting water. Since we participated during spring break, the morning and evening trips were fully booked. If you're expecting to see the dynamic whales that you often see in photos, it might be better to consider the timing and season.
3月末、昼出港の便でした。私たちが見たのは、クジラ親子の並走と潮吹き。
春休みを利用しての参加だったので、朝や夕方は満席でした。
もし写真で見かけるダイナミックなクジラを期待するようなら、時期と時間を考慮する方がよいかな。
This is the only opportunity to show children wild whales. It's worth participating in as an experience.
子供たちに野生のクジラを見せる機会としてはこれしかない。経験として参加することに価値あり。
Since the designated seat was next to the stage, it felt like I was watching the performance from the side the entire time, and the lighting coming from the opposite wall was directly in my eyes. However, I was still able to enjoy the atmosphere of the venue.
If you have visited Oahu multiple times, it's worth seeing this as part of the current culture in Honolulu.
今回指定された席が、ステージ横だったので、演技を終始真横から見ている感じ、反対壁から放つ照明が目に直接はいる位置でした。ただ場の雰囲気は十分楽しめました。
オアフ島に何度も訪れているようなら、今のホノルルの文化として一度は見ておくと良いです。
As others have advised, the venue is cold. I think it's better to have long sleeves or a blanket.
他の方のアドバイスにもあるように、会場は寒い。長袖やひざ掛けがあったほうが良いと思います。
I was able to see whales. I'm glad I participated. There was no rocking that would cause seasickness, so even family members who usually get motion sickness enjoyed it until the end. The deck of the boat has a decent amount of wind, so I think a jacket is necessary. I brought one and used it. A hat that won't blow away in the wind would be a good idea. The explanations from the guide are in English, so I think at least one person in the family should be able to understand English.
クジラ見れました。
参加して良かった。
船酔いになるような揺れも無く、普段は乗り物酔いのある家族も最後まで楽しめました。
船のデッキはそこそこ風があるので上着が必要かと思います。持って行って、使いました。
帽子は風で飛ばないタイプが良いかと。
解説員の方の説明は英語なので、家族の中など誰か1人は英語聞き取れるべきだろうなと思います。
I participated with my daughter, who is in middle school. My wife stayed on land because she gets motion sickness easily.
During takeoff and landing, there was hardly any acceleration or impact like you would experience on a regular passenger plane; it was a quiet takeoff and landing with almost no jolt. In the air, there was very little turbulence, making for a safe and secure flight.
We had already visited places like Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor beforehand, and it was great to see them from the sky as if confirming what we had seen. It was nice to see parts of the former volcanic crater that are too large to understand without viewing them from above.
Over Pearl Harbor, the shape of the sunken battleship was clearly visible, filling in the missing pieces of the puzzle from our land tour (with a different company). Honestly, just this experience made it worth participating.
私(父)と中学生の娘と2人で参加。
妻は乗り物酔いしやすいので陸で待機。
離着陸は、通常の旅客機で体験するような加速度や衝撃は全くと言ってよいほど無く、静かに離陸、着陸もほとんど衝撃なし。
空でも大した揺れもなく、安心安全な航行でした。
事前に、ダイヤモンドヘッドやパールハーバーなどの見学を済ませており、それを空から答え合わせするように見ることができて良かった。
かつての火山の噴火口跡など、大きすぎて空から見ないとわからない部分を見ることができて良かった。
パールハーバー上空では、沈んでいる戦艦の形がくっきりと視認でき、陸での(別会社の別ツアーでの)見学時の欠けていたパズルのピースを埋めるようで、正直、これだけでも参加して良かったくらい。
I thought it would be better to wear a long-sleeved jacket, and I felt it was the right choice. It would be even better if there were pockets that could fit a smartphone and zip up. You have enough ti
長袖の上着はあったほうがいいかなと思い、着て行って正解だと感じました。
スマホが入ってチャックが締まるくらいのポケット付きなら、なお良いかと。上空でスマホで写真撮る余裕あります。
Wow just wow, Shane was our pilot and boy he had a lot of knowledge of the island and for him to give a good answer to everyone's questions was exceptional. The ride was smooth, we felt safe and it was longer than I expected. The views are amazing and beautiful. My grandkids and I truly loved this experience. Shane even let Liam shut the helicopter down once we landed.
This was our 1st time to the big island and this was our 1st time snorkeling. The captain and the crew were all exceptional and pretty funny at times. The vessel was clean and the cruise was smooth. We had 2 areas we stopped to snorkel and get a little history lesson. Breakfast and lunch was very tasty and well timed. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for my family.
Don't skip this adventure.
This was my second time participating at my daughter's request. As always, it's a pleasure to ride slowly on horseback amidst the magnificent scenery. Some horses stop along the way, but generally, they walk on their own. Last time, we went all the way to the spot with Godzilla's footprints, but this time we turned back before reaching there. I'm not sure if last time was special or if the course has changed. However, I had another great time.
娘のリクエストで2回目の参加。
相変わらずの壮大な景色の中、馬に乗ってゆっくり進んでいくのは気持ちがいいです。
途中で止まっちゃう馬もいますが、基本的に馬が勝手に歩いていってくれます。
前回はゴジラの足跡がある所まで行ったんですが、今回はそこまで行かずにUターン。
前回が特別だったのか、コースが変わったのかは不明。
でもまた良い時間を過ごせました。
There are also options like buggies, bicycles, and buses, but riding a horse for two hours is quite rare, so I recommend it.
他にもバギーや自転車、バスなどの選択肢がありますが2時間も馬に乗ることは中々ないのでおすすめです。
Mahalo for a fun, informative, and beautiful trip to Fern Grotto. Our family especially loved learning hula from the Smith Ohana!
Captain Jenna, Kaiala and Dez were all awesome! Family friendly! Very accommodating to my kids! So nice, and friendly and the Drinks were wonderful! Great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki beach. I want to go again!!!!!! Really really great tour!
Just book the tour!!!!!
We enjoyed a beautiful day out on the water! We didn't catch any fish but the crew was excellent and we had a great time!
I read reviews saying that not many Japanese people participated, and indeed, we were the only Japanese there. It was all in English, but the staff were cheerful and occasionally chatted with us, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. We were able to see the vast ocean from the opposite side of Diamond Head and enjoyed watching sea turtles swim, which made for a really fun experience. The 1 hour and 30 minutes duration was just right, ending before we got bored.
日本人はあまり参加してないとの口コミでしたが、やはり日本人は私たちだけでした。英語のみでしたが、スタッフの人は陽気で時々話しかけてくれたりして雰囲気はとても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの反対側を大海原から見れたり、ウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。1時間30分との時間も飽きる前に終了するのでちょうど良かったです。
On windy days, it can be quite shaky, and the wind was really strong. If you are prone to motion sickness, I think it would be good to have some motion sickness medication. Also, I thought it might be
風の強い日は結構揺れるし、風がすごかったです。酔われる方は酔い止めがあればいいかと思います。あと、ちょっとだけでも英語が分かった方がより楽しめるかなと思いました。
It was all in English, so I was really disappointed that I couldn't understand the staff's explanations. I was looking forward to the experience, but it felt a bit lacking.
全て英語だったので、スタッフの説明が全く分からなかったので残念。
折角の体験をタ楽しみにしていたのですが、少し物足りなかった。
We had a fantastic tour. The doors off was a cool experience. Our pilot was excellent and highlighted everything we were seeing. Highly recommended.
Thank you very much for the wonderful recommendation!
I can say enough good things about this experience! Everything about it!
It was a very enjoyable 90 minutes, filled with thrilling moments unique to the circus and scenes where the clowns interacted with the audience to make them laugh, all combined with a storyline.
サーカス特有のハラハラする場面とピエロ的にお客さんをいじって笑わせる場面もあって、ストーリー性も相まって、非常に楽しい90分間でした。
We have been on a couple different Snorkeling trips, and I have to say that going on the Molokini Snorkeling trip with the Trilogy Team is the Very Best. Why??? The Dolphins that join the boat on the way to and from Molokini. The location that the Trilogy docks so you can see so many species of fish, eels and coral. The Fantastic Team and Captains, and the delicious food, drinks and ice cream sundae!!! It is well worth the cost. Try it once and you will understand how Awesome this trip is.
If you love snorkeling, a fun boat ride, delicious food - then you have to try this trip at least once so that you can experience the Very Best Trip to Lanai!!! Do it!! You will not regret it.
Parasailing was a lot of fun, and it was great that they let us drive the boat and fly as a family of four. However, I requested photos for $40, and in the end, the data transfer to my smartphone didn't go well, so I received an SD card instead. Unfortunately, the SD card has an error, and I can't check the data at the moment. It's really disappointing not to have any photos from such a fun experience. Since I was returning home the next morning, there was nothing more I could do, and I had to go back. I'm really sad about it...
パラセーリングはとても楽しくて、ボートを運転させてくれたり、4人家族で飛ばせてくれたりと最高だったのですが、、、
写真を40ドルでお願いし、最後スマホへデータ移行がうまくいかず、SDカードをもらいました。しかし、SDカードエラーになってしまい、今のところデータが確認できていません。とても楽しかった体験なだけに、写真が残らないのが残念でなりません。
翌日朝から帰国だったので、もうどうすることも出来ず帰国しました。
悲しいです。。
I recommend ensuring that the photo data is reliably transferred to your smartphone on the spot!!
写真データはその場でスマホに確実にデータ移行してもらうことをおすすめします!!
I was planning to drive using my husband's driver's license (the actual one), but I forgot it in the hotel safe...! Fortunately, I had a clear photo of the license, so when I consulted with the staff, they checked the image and allowed me to drive after I showed my passport and signed a waiver. I'm really glad I was able to drive! I had mistakenly switched to a digital license, so based on this lesson, I issued a physical card after returning home. Having the actual document is definitely stronger overseas.
夫の免許証(実物)で乗る予定でしたが、ホテルの金庫に忘れてしまいました…!
たまたま免許証を綺麗に撮った画像を持っていたので、スタッフに相談したところ、その画像を確認したのち、パスポートの提示と注意事項へのサインのようなもので許可がおりました。乗れて本当によかった!
自分はマイナ免許証にしてしまっていたので、この教訓を元に、帰国後にカードを発行しました。海外では実物が強いですね。
It was a two-hour buggy course, but it felt longer than I expected! At the end of February, it was a cloudy day, so I got cold from being exposed to the wind. I felt like I needed long sleeves.
バギーの2時間コースでしたが、思ったより長い!2月末で、曇りの日だったので、風に当たり続けて寒くなりました。長袖必要かと感じました。
First, I made a mistake and booked the wrong date, realizing it the day before and requesting assistance. They responded immediately, and I was able to go the next day without any issues, which was very helpful. It was reassuring that there were staff members who could communicate in Japanese.
As for the pool itself, perhaps due to the limited number of staff, half of the attractions were closed. That's unfortunate...
That said, I was still able to have a fun time.
まずは自分のミスで予約日を間違ってしまい、前日に気づき対応を依頼。
すぐに対応していただき、翌日無事にいく事が出来た事はとても助かりました。
日本語対応が出来るかたもいて、安心できます。
プール自体ですが、スタッフが少ないためかアトラクションが半分はClose.
残念です。。。
とはいえ、楽しい時間を過ごす事は出来ました。
It would be great if I could obtain information about the opening of attractions.
アトラクションのOPEN情報など入手出来れば良いです。
