This was a great trip, but we should have done the whole day - there just wasn't enough time to visit everything. The food was exceptional - every part of the show was fantastic.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

xmas Luai

Reviewed by: AndyV

This was our second time attending the Paradise Cove Luai. It was nice seeing, hearing, and experiencing a Christmas theme to the evening. Two items, the evening seemed rushed, there was not enough time between activities to truely enjoy the evening - our bus arrived, dropped us off, and the race was on... we did not get to participate in all of the pre-show activities. The second was the food was okay, but not what I would consider great - which is why the value rating dropped to so-so.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

It was quite ambiguous for me. 私にはかなり微妙でした

Reviewed by: フラガール

I had made a reservation at the beginning of March, right on Tsunami Day, but there was no contact at all, and it was canceled. I ended up waiting for over an hour at the pickup location while continuously trying to call (but couldn't get through), which was a disaster. Thanks to Alan's efforts, I was able to participate the next day, but everything before the show (like tree climbing and canoeing), the show itself, and the meals were all quite mediocre... It felt lacking in focus, or perhaps just scattered... I was looking forward to the hula, but the hula at the Tokiwa Hawaiian Center was much better... The negative impression might also be because it was extremely cold... The seaside location is a selling point, but that also means the wind is strong, and it got quite chilly once the sun went down. I won't be going again, but for those who do, I recommend being well-prepared for the cold depending on the season.

3月はじめ、まさに津波の日に予約していましたが、まったく連絡なくキャンセルに。ピックアップ場所で1時間以上も待ちながら電話をかけつづける（つながらない）という大惨事に。アラン１さんのご尽力もあり、次の日にずらして参加できましたが、ショーの前のいろいろなイベント（木登りとか、カヌーとか･･･）、ショー、食事、すべてが微妙でした･･･　メリハリがないというか、散漫というか･･･　フラを楽しみにしていましたが、常磐ハワイアンセンターのフラのほうがよっぽどよかった･･･。印象がよくないのは、とにかくめちゃめちゃ寒かったからかも･･･。海辺のロケーションが売りなわけですが、それだけに風も強いし、日が落ちるとかなり寒かったです。私はもう行きませんが、行かれる方は、季節によって防寒対策をしっかりしていくことをおすすめします。

Reviewed by: SM

Don't get me wrong, we had a wonderful time at PCC however our guide kept leaving us behind, she moved so quickly thru the crowds that my husband had a hard time keeping up, pushing me in a wheelchair. She would just go on without us. We did not get to experience everything we paid for, the food was medicore, our guide could have cared less but the parade of floats was amazing and the HA breath of life show was an experience of a lifetime.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

Full of Hawaiian vibes! ハワイ感たっぷり♪

Reviewed by: waiwai

We participated as a family.

Instead of taking a bus tour, we headed to the venue by rental car, but we ended up being late due to traffic on both the local roads and the highway. Although my English is not very good, I wanted to inform them that we would be arriving late, so I tried calling and was able to speak with a staff member who understood Japanese. We were about an hour late, but we were able to enter the venue without any issues.

As I read in other experiences, there were no other Japanese people besides us. Most of the men were wearing aloha shirts, and the women were in muumuu dresses.

Before the show started, there was an introduction to the traditional culture of the islands, and the atmosphere gradually built up. Around 6:30 PM, the Hawaiian band started performing on the stone bench stage, followed by dance performances and a presentation of the food. At 7:00 PM, we enjoyed a buffet dinner while the main stage show began. The singing, dancing, and fire show were all wonderful, and we truly enjoyed Hawaii. After the powerful Polynesian dance, those who wanted to join went up on stage and danced energetically, which was very entertaining.

The food was not very tasty. As someone who struggles with English, I wondered what the delicious-looking drink with fruit that others were having was, but I couldn't figure it out from the drink menu, so I ended up ordering a Corona beer. I had some drink tickets left over.

Despite the language barrier, it was a very satisfying experience, and my whole family had a great time. I definitely want to participate again on our next trip, but this time I would like to join a bus tour. I heard that there is heavy traffic in the evenings, so I recommend that those driving allow plenty of time before departure.

家族で参加しました。

私たちはバスツアーではなく、レンタカーで現地に向かいましたが、下道もハイウェイも渋滞で遅刻参加になってしまいました。
英語が不得意ですが、到着が遅れることを連絡したかったので電話をかけてみると、日本語が分かるスタッフに代わってもらえました。
１時間ほど遅刻しましたが問題なく会場に入れました。

体験談で読んだ通り見たところ日本人は私たち以外一人もいませんでした。
服装はほとんどの男性はアロハシャツ、女性はムームーを着ていました。

ステージが始まる前に、民族の伝統文化の紹介などがあり、少しずつ盛り上がってきました。
18:30くらいから石のベンチのステージでハワイアンバンドの演奏が始まり、ダンスや、料理の紹介があり、19:00からはビュッフェディナーをいただきながら、メインステージでのショーが始まりました。
歌、ダンス、ファイアーショー、どれもすばらしく、ハワイを堪能できました。
迫力のポリネシアンダンスの後は、希望者がステージに上がり、ノリノリでダンスをしてとてもおもしろかったです。

料理は美味しい物はありませんでした。
英語の不得意な私は、他の人が飲んでいた、フルーツが乗ってる美味しそうな飲み物は何かなーと思いながら、ドリンクメニューを見ましたがよくわからず、結局コロナビールを頼んで飲みました。ドリンクチケットは余りました。

言葉の不自由はあったものの、とても満足できる内容で、家族みんなとても楽しませていただきました。
次回の旅行の際も是非参加したいと思いますが、次回はバスツアーに参加したいと思います。
夕方は毎日渋滞するらしいので、車で参加の人はかなり余裕を持って出発されることをおすすめします。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

A fulfilling plan to explore the highlights of Oahu in one day. オアフの名所を１日で回れる充実プラン

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.

最初に本来なら２日で回るところを１日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸１日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍２８年の日本人の方でとても優しく（言葉もよく通じるので）安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I am very satisfied! 大満足です！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.

This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.

ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました！
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング）と歓迎イベント（レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン）があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

Haneakala Sunrise Tour

Reviewed by: DrSteggy

This was the first thing my husband and I did on our first trip to Maui--we did it the first full day we were there, and that turned out to be best because we were sort of awake to catch our 2:15 am tour bus (we are from the east coast, and were very early risers the whole trip)

Our guide was very knowledgable about the volcano and surrounding area, and took us on a very nice tour. he even slowed and pointed out a pair of nene for us. On the downside, there were some spots we would have liked to spend more time, but this can't be helped with an organized tour. On our next trip, we'd likely do this on our own, but its smart to take the tour your first time.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Not dissapointed at all!!

Reviewed by: Blest12

I chose Smith's Tropical Luau because I had read some previous reviews and one reviewer stated they had been to a different luau every night and Smith's was the best. I was a passenger on the NCL Pride of America and the reviews for that luau were not good and I hate nasty food. So I chose Smith's for myself and my party and let me tell you, we were not dissapointed. First of all and probably the best thing was it was not as expensive as the other luau, next the food was great everything was very good (except the purple sweet potato, it was too dry and tasteless). The staff was great, they kept coming around asking if everything was okay. Also, there was a large crowd there, maybe 500 people maybe more, but everything ran smooth and efficiently. When we arrived we were escorted to a tram that took us for a narrated tour of the plantation and it was beautiful. Then we went into the large lanai to be seated for eating. Some went to watch the roasted pig taken out of the place whe

Pearl Harbor Tour

Reviewed by: Sue from Sydney Australia

When I booked this trip I had researched many other companies and chose this one as it concentrated on Pearl Harbor offerring a full day comprehensive tour of this amazing site .
The tour exceeded our expectations, with Wes our informed and humorous bus driver and the amazing guides at various parts of the Pearl Harbor site all contributing to a very positive experience at this awesome harbor. It is an awe inspiring experience to stand at the place where the war commenced for the USA with the horrible loss of precious lives ,and even more spine tingling, standing at the exact spot where the treaty to end the war took place. The experience was enhanced by amazing informative guides and I would strongly recommend this particular tour for anyone going to Pearl Harbor.

We reviewed this Luau on the internet prior to our arrival and felt that this was the one and we were sincerely not disappointed. In fact, this was our second Luan during our stay and I assure you that this one is and was the best.

Not only was our Luau experience the best the drive to and from the event on bus #5 was fantastic. The driver was U and the guide/orator was Pompani (I think). You should have at least ten (10) Pompani’s since he made the experience a time to remember.

He was courteous, experienced, and a real performer. He was able to make the trip to and from one to remember. In addition the Luau, performance, food, and location were fantastic. We would sincerely recommend this to anyone that we will interface with if they want places to go on their Hawaiian vacation.

Please let Pompani know that he made the evening one to remember and do whatever it takes to keep him on your staff.

This tour was booked as a surprise to me by my husband, Ron, and our daughter on the occasion of my 70th birthday, along with a two-week vacation to Hawaii. I have long wanted to see the USS Arizona Memorial, as my father and stepfather were both in the armed services during World War II. The tour is given by a sharp US Navy crew and the dignity and remembrance of our gallant fighting men of all armed service branches is preserved. There are always some in the tour group, usually under 30, who haven't a clue as to what the horrors of war are; their actions echo their folly. The Royal Star drivers were knowledgeable and humorous when appropriate. The tour on the USS Missouri was given by Marc and you would've thought he was there as he described the battleship's statistics and history. The reality of what war does to people who are in it, no matter what side they are on, was once again brought home. I am so glad this was arranged by my thoughtful family. It took awhile for me to
