Horseback riding while fully enjoying the magnificent scenery was amazing!! I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the horse was so smart that all my worries disappeared! It's something you can't experience in Japan, so I definitely recommend it.

雄大な景色を存分に味わいながらの
乗馬は最高でした！！
初めてなので不安がありましたが、
お馬さんが賢くて、そんな心配も吹っ飛びました！
日本では経験できないので是非お勧めしたいです。

I was anxious about my English, but the Japanese staff explained everything, including the meeting point, and there were explanatory videos in Japanese, which made me feel at ease participating!

During the horseback riding, it was all in English, but they used easy-to-understand words, so there was no problem at all! They were very kind and even took pictures for us!

The horses are smart, so they stop and go along with the horse in front of them without needing us to give instructions!

The scenery was amazing, and I was able to ride for two hours in the great outdoors, which was a valuable experience that I can't have in Japan!

Since it was an afternoon experience, by the time we finished, the cafeteria was closed, and I regretted not being able to eat the Kualoa Burger >_<.

英語が不安でしたが、最初の集合場所などのは日本人スタッフの方が説明してくれたり説明動画も日本語で安心して参加できました！
乗馬中は英語のみでしたがわかりやすい単語などで話してくれるので全く問題なかったです！！
写真もとってくれたりとても親切でした！

馬も賢いのでこちらが指示しなくても前の馬に合わせて止まったり進んだりしてくれます！

景色も最高な大自然の中2時間も乗馬ができ、日本では体験できない貴重な経験になりました！！

昼からの体験だったので終わった頃にはカフェテリアがcloseしていてクアロアバーガーが食べれなかったのが心残りです>_<

My husband and I had a feeling this would be fun, which is why we booked this excursion. But we had no idea what a blast this really was! The "lookouts" that we stopped at during our ride were truly breathtaking. Our guides were super informative and had a good sense of humor. Believe me, you get it all during this excursion, fun, adventure, even a bit of "what did I get myself into" moments. Don't worry, you are safe and your guides are always right with you. Not to mention they won't take you onto trails you can't handle. Be prepared to get dirty! As our guide told us, embrace it, you can't get around it. But just fyi, bring extra shoes, a change of clothes and a towel. We happen to go on a day that was pretty wet from a storm. We were a mess! Loved all of it though. Highly recommend this excursion.

The long-awaited snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was amazing! Although it was rainy in the early morning, by the time we arrived at the site, the rain had stopped, and the sky gradually brightened. By the second half of the snorkeling, we were greeted with beautiful blue skies!

Light was shining through the water, and I was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish of all sizes! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any turtles, but I was surprised to see a large seal lounging on the beach! I thought it was wonderful that both the fish and the seals were completely unafraid of people. This must be due to the strong spirit of animal protection among the people of Hawaii!

The two guides were also very kind, which made for a reassuring experience. Thank you!

念願のハナウマ湾シュノーケルが出来て最高でした❗️早朝は雨模様だったのですが、現場に到着する頃には雨もやみ、だんだん明るい空になってきて、シュノーケルの後半には綺麗な青空が‼️
水の中にも光がさしてきて、色とりどりの、大小さまざまな魚がたくさん見れて大満足でした！
亀は残念ながら探し出せませんでしたが、大きなアザラシがビーチの上にドーンと寝転んでいたのにはびっくり‼️魚もそうですが、アザラシも全く人を警戒していないのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。
日頃からハワイの方々の動物愛護の精神が徹底されているからこそでしょう！
ガイドのお二人もとても親切で安心して過ごすことが出来ました！ありがとうございました。

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Maui Nui Sunset Luau at the stunning Sheraton Maui, and it truly exceeded all expectations! As we arrived, we were warmly greeted with traditional lei necklaces, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. The venue has great ocean views, it's spacious and all guests had ample room to enjoy the experience comfortably.

The food was a standout at the event, with a delicious spread of local-style dishes in the buffet. The menu had something for everyone and made a lasting impression with its flavors and presentation.

The entertainment was simply amazing, as talented dancers wowed the audience with their graceful moves and colorful outfits. The best part of the night was definitely the fire knife dance, an absolutely stunning performance that had everyone totally amazed. The combination of cultural storytelling and dynamic performances created a lively and engaging atmosphere throughout the luau.

Overall, the Maui Nui Sunset Luau at Sheraton Maui was a fantastic experience that combined great food, entertaining performances, and a stunning atmosphere seamlessly. I totally suggest checking out this luau if you want to dive into Hawaii's awesome culture and hospitality. It's a night of pure fun and entertainment!

I checked in at around 5:15 PM (the receptionist was Japanese) and the buffet started around 5:30 PM. The staff assigned the seats, so I was a bit nervous about not being able to communicate in English, but they seated us mostly with other Japanese guests. The food and drinks were delicious, and I was able to eat a lot.

The show started around 7:40 PM, and it was thrilling and enjoyable. After it ended, I was able to take photos with the performers, which made me very satisfied. For the photo with the Michael Jackson impersonator, it was crowded, but it was very easy to ask someone nearby who was waiting to take a picture with my camera.

17時15分前にチェックイン(受付は日本人の方でした)して17時30分過ぎくらいからビュッフェ形式でした。席はスタッフの方が振り分けるので、英語で話しかけられないかどきどきしましたが、周りは日本人で固めてくれていました。食事もドリンクも美味しくもりもり食べることができました。
19時40分くらいからショーが始まり、迫力満点で楽しかったですし、終わった後に出演者の人と写真も撮れて大満足です。
マイケルジャクソン役の写真は混雑してて、周りで同じように待ってる人にカメラを預けて撮ってもらえるよう頼めたら非常に楽です。

My first trip to Hawaii! I arrived in Hawaii feeling excited and nervous. On the night of my arrival, I had a reservation.

I was worried about whether the Hawaiian cuisine would suit my taste, but there was no need for concern; everything was delicious, and the roast beef was particularly well-seasoned. The bread, served with butter, was surprisingly tasty even though it was cold! I ended up eating several pieces (laughs). The dessert, the chocolate cake, was also great. I thought it would be nice to have some beer available as a drink.

The show was, of course, Michael Jackson! The dancing was amazing! The fireman's dance was thrilling, but I had a great time. Thank you very much, and I look forward to next time!

初めてのハワイ旅行！ワクワクドキドキでハワイにやってきました。到着日当日夜、予約させて頂きました。
まずは食事はハワイの料理風で口に合うか心配でしたが、
心配は無く、全部が美味しくて特にローストビーフは味付けもよくて良かったです。パンがまたバターツ付きで頂くと冷えてるぱんなのに美味しかったです！何個も食べました（笑）それからデザートチョコレートケーキも良かったです。飲みものはビールがあるといいなあ、と思いました。ショーはやっぱりマイケルジャクソンですね！
ダンスが上手で最高！ファイヤーマンの踊りもヒヤヒヤですが楽しく過ごせてありがとうございました。
また次回も宜しくお願いします。

We went to Hawaii, which we had been looking forward to for a long time, to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. About ten years ago, we participated in the original seating. This time, we splurged a bit and reserved VIP seats. We were given leis, and unexpectedly, they sang a celebratory song with a ukulele, which made us very happy. It was perfect for our anniversary. The Hawaiian songs were quite good as well. The Hawaiian dance show was also enjoyable, making it a wonderful anniversary. Dancing with the guests was quite fun too. If we go to Hawaii again next time, I definitely want to participate again. Thank you for the wonderful time in Hawaii.

夫婦の結婚５０周年記念日に久しぶりに待ちに待って
すごく楽しみにハワイに行きました。
１０年ぐらいまえに参加させて頂きましたが
オリジナル席で。今回はちょっと奮発してＶＩＰ席を予約させて頂きました。レイもかけていただき、
思いがけずにウクレレでお祝いの歌を歌って頂き凄く嬉しかったです。記念日には最高です。
ハワイアンソングもなかなか良かったです。
それからハワイアンダンスショーも楽しく
記念日には最高ですね。
それからお客様と一緒に踊るダンスもなかなか面白かったです。
また次回もハワイに行きましたらまた是非に参加したいとおもいます。
楽しいハワイをありがとうございました。

During this season, they appear in various places, so we were able to see them from all directions on the boat. Along the way, they submerged a microphone in the water, allowing us to hear the whales' calls.

Baby whales frequently jump, so if you can identify the area where they seem to be, you can stand by and catch a glimpse of them jumping. However, for safety reasons, they maintain a certain distance, so you can only see them from relatively far away. It would be good to have binoculars; I brought a 10x pair and was able to see quite well.

To board the boat, you take a small boat from the sandy beach and transfer to a larger boat a little offshore. Flip-flops or going barefoot is recommended. On the boat, you can get drinks (canned juice or Mai Tai) and snacks (chips). There is no shade on the boat, so make sure to take precautions against sunburn. The interior of the boat isn't very spacious, so it's best to keep your luggage to a minimum. Most people were nearly empty-handed except for their smartphones.

時期的にあちこちで出現しますので、船の全方向で見ることが出来ました。
途中、マイクを海中に沈め、クジラの鳴き声も聞かせてくれます。

子鯨が頻繁にジャンプしますので、大体あの辺にいそう、というのを見極めてスタンバイしてるとジャンプなど見れます
ただ、安全のため一定の距離は取っているので比較的遠くでしか見ることはできません
望遠鏡などあると良いと思います。私は10倍のものですが、持参してよく見ることが出来ました。

船の乗船は砂浜から小さなボートにのり、少し沖にある船に乗り換えます。
ビーサン、裸足がオススメです。
船ではドリンク（缶ジュースか、マイタイ）、スナック（チップス）がもらえます。
船上は日除無いので日焼け対策はしっかりしましょう。
船内もそんなに広く無いので荷物は最小限にした方がいいです。
みなさんスマホ以外ほぼ手ぶらでした。

My family was picked up just a few feet from our hotel on time and patiently waiting our arrival. The driver/tour guide, "BK", was warm, informative, eloquent, hospitable and passionate about Hawaii. The knowledge he shared was done in a professional and relatable manner. We could have spent days listening to him. He was that good! Notably "BK" was born in Hawaii, a Marine veteran and could speak personally on military and personal experiences.
The tour albeit brief, was worth the price hands down. Take the tour. Learn some valuable knowledge on WW2, Pearl harbor, Hawaii and the wonderful first citizens of this state.

I booked a shuttle service. Excitedly, I went to the meeting point, but the shuttle didn’t arrive even when the time came. I thought there might be traffic, but I couldn’t get through on the phone, and feeling sad, I returned to the hotel and called again, only to be told that my reservation hadn’t gone through and was scheduled for another day. I was stunned, and I had to quickly come up with other plans for that day, but to be honest, my schedule was disrupted. Since it was rescheduled for another day, my plans for that day changed as well. When I went on the scheduled day, the shuttle didn’t arrive again at the appointed time, and I was astonished. When I called, they hurriedly came after a while. I was exhausted from the morning. They were speaking English fluently, but there wasn’t even a single word of apology.

送迎付きを申し込みました。ウキウキしながら、
待ち合わせの場所にいきました。が時間になっても送迎が来ませんでした。
渋滞しているのかと思いながら、電話も通じなく、悲しくホテルに戻って電話をしなおしたら、予約が取れていなくて、他の日になっていると言われました．(全部英語)
唖然として、その1日は急遽他の事をしましたが、はっきり言って、スケジュールが崩れました。
他の日になってしまった為にその日もスケジュールが変わりました．
又、予定日に行ったら、また予定の時間になっても来なくて、あきれて、電話したらしばらくして慌てて来ました．朝からめちゃくちゃつかれました。英語でベラベラ話してましたが、すいませんの一言もなかったです。

I surprised my dad with the luau for his 60th birthday and we had a wonderful experience! Everyone was so welcoming and the atmosphere was beautiful. Our server Gerry was amazing and Jonah was very kind as well. The food was very filling and the perfect amount. The dances themselves were so beautiful, I could see how much the dancers put their hearts into the performances. I would go back to Maui just to bring more loved ones to the Old Lahaina Luau!

What an amazing experience. WOW . Breath taking views and amazing fun informative crew. I enjoyed every single second of this experience and very grateful to have been apart. Would definitely recommend. Weather was perfect even though it rained briefly it still was amazing. Volleyball was fun and snorkeling was even better. Sen a few turtles because then dip out pretty fast lol. Lunch was great with drinks and world glass special wine if you choose lol. Also had a convenient restroom. Shuttle pick up was convenient with breathtaking views on the way there. Loved it!!!!!

I participated on the night I arrived in Hawaii. I was looking for a tour to see hula dancing, and I decided on this tour because I could also see rock music performances. At the buffet venue, I felt relieved to see that everyone around me was Japanese.

During the meal, I enjoyed watching hula dancing right next to me, creating a pleasant atmosphere. As for the buffet, I thought it was just okay, but personally, I found the roast beef to be delicious. For dessert, there were various options like fruits, ice cream, and mini cakes, but you might have to wait in line quite a bit, so it’s better to prepare early.

After the meal, we moved to the stage area, and depending on the plan, the staff guided us to our seats. I was worried I might feel sleepy due to jet lag, but the hula dancing at the beginning was captivating, and afterward, the entertainment shows featuring Elvis and Michael were all stunning. The performances were engaging enough that the time flew by, and I had a lot of fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

ハワイに到着した夜に参加しました。フラダンスを観たくてツアーを探していたらロックも観れるとの事でこのツアーに決めました。ビュッフェの会場では周りの方が日本人ばかりでホッとしました。
食事の合間にすぐそばでフラダンスの踊りを見て和やかな雰囲気でした。ビュッフェの味はこんなものかなと、私個人ではローストビーフが美味しかったです。食後のデザートはフルーツ、アイスクリーム、ミニケーキなど色々ありますが、結構並ばなければいけないので早めに用意していた方が良いかもです。
食後ステージ会場に移動、プランによりスタッフが席に案内してくれます。時差ボケで眠たくなるかなと心配してましたが、最初はフラダンスで見応えあり、その後はエルビス、マイケルのエンターテイメントショーどれも圧巻でした。飽きのこない演出で時間が短く感じるくらいに楽しかったです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいと思います。

I had the greatest time at Gunstock Ranch!
I would heartily recommend this activity.
Everyone, from the check-in, to the trail ride staff, and visiting the animals after the ride were amazing.
As a very novice rider, I was well instructed and had a great ride.

My parents (in their 50s) and my three siblings (in their 20s) signed up for the advanced course. At first, we rode the trial course as an aptitude test before the departure. The bicycles were special, with large tires, so it took us some time to get used to them. As a result, the staff decided to switch us to the beginner course, and it turned into a private tour just for our family.

All the staff spoke English, and they provided detailed explanations using translation devices. The scenery was magnificent and indescribably beautiful.

During the ride, we were caught in heavy rain, and cycling while getting covered in mud became a wonderful memory. I think it's quite rare to have such a muddy experience as an adult, so that's also a great memory!

両親(50代)、兄弟3人(20代)で上級コースに申し込みました。最初、自転車に乗ってから出発の間に適性検査としてトライアルコースを走りました。自転車が特殊で、タイヤが大きいもののため、私たちは慣れるのに時間がかかってしまいました。そのため、スタッフの判断で初級コースになり、私たち家族だけのプライベートツアーになりました。
スタッフは全て英語でしたが、翻訳機を使って細かく説明してくれました。景色が雄大で、言葉にならないほど美しかったです。
途中、大雨に見舞われて、泥だらけになりながらのサイクリングはとてもいい思い出となりました。大人になってから、あんなにも泥まみれになる経験はなかなか貴重だと思うので、それもいい思い出です！

An unforgettable engaging experience! The whole crew was personable, entertaining, helpful, just good people that really love what they do!

I enjoyed a buffet featuring local Hawaiian cuisine. They also serve lovely cocktails. The quality of the food is high, and everything is delicious. If you want to get the popular desserts, you should go for them early, as there’s a bit of a scramble! The dining experience lasts about two hours, during which hula dancers and hosts keep the atmosphere lively. After that, there was a show in the theater featuring local singers and performances that recreated famous artists. The authentic dance, singing, and music blend very well together. The performance engages the audience, making it enjoyable without getting boring. There were also small children in attendance. Since they performed Disney songs, I think it can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.

ハワイの現地のご飯をビュッフェを楽しみました。ドリンクも素敵なカクテルがサービスされます。ご飯のクオリティーが高く、どれも美味しいです。デザートは早めに取りに行かないと人気なものは争奪戦です！ご飯の所要時間は２時間内ぐらいで、その間にフラダンサーの方やホストが場を盛り上げてくれます。その後のシアターでのショーでは、現地のシンガーや有名な歌手を再現したショーなどがありました。本格的なダンスと歌、演奏がとてもマッチしています。観客を巻き込んだパフォーマンスで飽きずに楽しめます。小さなお子さんも見にきていました。ディズニーの曲も披露していたので、幅広い年代で楽しめると思います。

This was a unique and fun activity! It was just the right amount of time and no big crowd. We would definitely do it again!

The show only had a little hula dancing, and the meal was simple. At 25,000 yen per person, it’s way too expensive. I thought there would be a stage, but they just danced a little between the seats. From our seats, we could only see the back of the dancer. I won't come back again.

ショーが少しフラを踊ってくれる程度で食事も質素。あれで1人25,000円は高すぎる。
舞台が　あるのかと思っていたけど　客席の間で少し踊るだけ。
私達の席は踊ってる人の後ろ姿が見えるだけ
もう2度といらない。

This place made me sound like a broken record…I was lost for words and kept saying “wow”. My husband and I really enjoyed this part of our trip to Hawaii. We had so much fun! Our guides Lee and Matt were amazing at giving us the experience of a lifetime, they were professional, funny, and perfect for the adventure!
We recommend wearing a face cover and dark clothing/change of clothing because of the dirt buildup throughout the drive! They have a wash station right after the tour so no need to worry.

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~

Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.

Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.

The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.

But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

There was soooo much to do at the park we couldn’t even do it all. I wanted to see the birds and the sharks the most. I think the program was geared towards kids...so I let my inner child out to play. The sea lion of course was my favorite part. He was super smart and it was clear that him and the trainer had such a great relationship, almost like a little puppy eager to please. He did show more interest in the trainer than any of us, but that’s to be expected we even still got to pet him!

My first experience flying in a Cessna over Oahu was filled with satisfaction that surpassed both tension and anticipation, lasting about an hour.

During the shuttle ride to the hotel, we enjoyed fun conversations in Japanese, and I felt reassured by the presence of a Japanese interpreter during the briefing with the pilot at the office.

Before and during the flight, they took free photos and videos, which they sent to me via LINE before I returned to the hotel.

The pilot's handling of the aircraft was meticulous, and he checked on my well-being several times during the flight.

If I have the opportunity, I would love to customize another flight with Lani Lea Flight School.

人生初のセスナでオアフ島周遊フライトは、緊張感と期待感を軽く飛び越して満足感の上空を約１時間に渡り味わいました。
ホテルへの送迎車内での日本語での楽しい会話、オフィスでのパイロットとのブリーフィングも日本語通訳が同席していただいて安心しました。
フライト前、フライト中にも無料で写真や動画を撮影してくれて、ホテルに帰る前にラインで送って頂きました。
パイロットの操縦も丁寧で、フライト中に体調の確認を何度も気配りしてくれました。
機会があれば今度もLani Lea Flight School のフライトをオーダーメイドしたいなと思います。

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

自分では、予約が難しいのでツアーに参加。ガイドさんが　英語でしたが、
一生懸命　翻訳してくれて　安心できました。ハナウマ湾は、５回目でしたが
浅瀬がサンゴ礁のため　熱帯魚とたっぷり遊べました。

The weather is awesome! I got to see a group of honu (sea turtles) and dolphins, which was amazing! I enjoyed plenty of Waikiki and also got to see Diamond Head, which was fantastic!

天気☀️もサイコー！
ホヌ、イルカの群れにも会え、サイコー！
たっぷりワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見れサイコー！

Please let me know what is necessary for horseback riding in Japanese.
The scenery description was in English.
The meeting time was around 8 o'clock, but there was a lot of waiting time, and we returned to Waikiki around 5 o'clock. You might want to think of it as a full-day activity.
During the waiting time, we were able to enjoy ourselves by going to a nearby beach and looking at souvenirs.

乗馬に必要なことは日本語で伝えてくれます。
景色の説明は英語でした。
8時ごろの集合でしたが、待ち時間が多く、ワイキキに帰ったのは17時ごろでした。1日かかると思た方がいいかもしれません。
待ち時間は近くのビーチに行ったり、お土産をみたり、それなりに楽しく過ごせました。

Last time it rained and it was a bit unsatisfying, but this time I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery under a blue sky. Even though it was sunny, it was cold, so I was glad I brought two beach towels. I think many people participate hoping to see the sandbar, but it seems you can only see it during a very low tide. (The tide level was -0.5, but the water was up to my knees.) You can see plenty of turtles and fish while snorkeling, so it's a lot of fun. They provide snorkeling gear, but there are no fins. The crew was kind and friendly, and it was clear they wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. This is definitely an activity I want to participate in again. I hope the exchange rate improves or that the prices become more affordable.

前回は雨が降って物足りなかったのですが、今回は青空の下できれいな景色を満喫できました。
晴れていても寒く、バスタオルを２枚持って行っていて正解でした。
砂州を見たくて参加する方が多いかと思いますが、よほどのLOW TIDEじゃないと見られないのではないでしょうか。
（潮位が−0.5でしたが膝下まで水位がありました）
シュノーケリングで亀や魚がたくさん見られますので楽しめます。
シュノーケルは貸してもらえますが、フィンはありません。
クルーが親切で感じの良い方ばかりで、楽しませてくれようとしているのがとても伝わりました。
是非また参加したいアクティビティです。
なので円高が進むとか、料金がお手頃になってもらいたいものです。

- That was a great show! Excited about every performance. Delicious food with plenty of choices. The staff is welcoming, adorable, smiles all around, and polite to every customer.
- I love the performance! The stage acts are fantastic, and every actor performs so well. The singing is incredibly beautiful
- A place near the accommodation, convenient to travel to, and easy to find parking.
- My husband and I will definitely come back to use the service again, and we'll bring our family along next time.

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. They provided beautiful live music and some ono doughnuts + beverages! The sandbar was absolutely beautiful!

We recommend to bring water shoes if you want to snorkel…or in general, they come in handy! And don’t forget sunscreen! Also another tip is if you plan to use an Uber/Lyft as transportation that you pre book prior for pick-up especially! Because we were told that people sometimes waited hours to be picked up from that location. We pre-booked and waited probably 15mins.
