Reviewed by: monica

Had a lot of fun. Becca was a blast! She entertained us all the way there and back. I was expecting the food to taste better. The only food I truely enjoyed was the pig, which is surprising because I don't eat pork. I decided that I was not going to pass up the opportunity to taste this as it was prepared under ground. The show was great! I enjoyed all the dancers and different ceremonies throughout the evening.

Hilton's Luau Show ヒルトンのルアウショー

Reviewed by: アルセウス

I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.

会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか？食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか？まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。

Oahu Lei Greeting Service at Honolulu Airport - Hawaiian Floral Necklace & More

A sweet beginning!

Reviewed by: Lynn B

Our trip to Oahu began beautifully when Amanda met us at the airport with the lovely Hawaiian leis and sweet Aloha. These are gorgeous real flowers and they lasted the entire week we were there. Amanda was very cheerful and kind, took us to get our baggage and made sure we knew how to get a taxi to our hotel. She chatted about some local area attractions and was a welcoming start to our vacation. Landing in a strange place for the first time, it was nice to see someone there waiting for us and welcoming us to their area. Makes the Hawaiian vacation authentic and what we all think of when we think of Hawaii. Thanks, Amanda!!

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＞

Enjoy the traditional luau! 伝統ルアウを堪能！

Reviewed by: Lei

On September 1st, I participated in the Standard plan.

As others have shared in their experiences, stepping onto the large welcoming bus felt like entering another world! We were the only Japanese people, with most of the group coming from the mainland United States, along with some guests from Australia and Russia. The guide understood a bit of Japanese, but since all the talks during the ride, including tour notes, were in English, it might not be suitable for those who don't understand English at all.

Paradise Cove is located to the west of Waikiki, beyond the airport and Pearl Harbor, and since the bus ride is long, I recommend bringing a light jacket if you're sensitive to the air conditioning.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a welcome drink (ID is required for alcohol) and received shell leis for a commemorative photo. If you like the photo, you can purchase it on the way back. I think it was around $15.

We were guided to our dining seats, and after writing our names on the sticker on the table to secure our spots, we had free time. The park offered various activities and crafts, so we spent our time freely playing a game similar to javelin called Ooihe and getting Polynesian art tattoos (which wash off) until it was time for dinner.

The meal was a Hawaiian luau buffet, and the lomi lomi salmon and kalua pig were especially delicious. The plan included two drink tickets, which allowed us to exchange them for cocktails from a designated menu.

A point to note is to confirm your bus number and return time carefully, and as mentioned in the notes, a separate tip payment is required. This is a custom that may not be familiar in Japan, so it's easy to forget, but even though the tour fee has been paid, a small tip is appreciated when receiving crafts or drinks.

The show performed on the outdoor stage was spectacular! Along with hula and live music, the fire performance after a 15-minute break was definitely worth seeing. The beautiful sunset we unexpectedly witnessed added to the experience, making it a wonderful memory.

9月1日、スタンダードのプランに参加してきました。

他の方の体験談通り、お迎えの大型バスに乗り込むとそこは別世界！日本人は私達のみでアメリカ本土からが大半、他にオーストラリアやロシアからいらした方もいました。ガイドさんは日本語も少しわかる方でしたが、ツアーの注意点も含め車中でのトークは全て英語のため、英語が全くわからないという人には不向きかもしれません。

パラダイス・コーブはワイキキからハイウェイをひたすら西へ、空港を越えパール・ハーバーも越えた所にあり、バスの乗車時間が長いのでエアコンの効きすぎが気になる方は上着が1枚あるといいと思います。

到着するとウェルカム・ドリンク（アルコールはIDの提示が必要です）で歓迎され、貝殻のレイを首にかけてもらって記念撮影。この写真は、気に入れば帰りに購入することができました。15ドル位だったかな？？

お食事の席まで案内され、席を確保するためテーブルに貼られたシールに名前を書いたらそこからはフリータイム。パーク内は様々なアクティビティやクラフトなどが体験できるようになっていたので、私達はオオイヘというヤリ投げのようなゲームや、ポリネシアン・アートのタトゥー（洗えば落ちるもの）をしてもらったりしてお食事までの時間を自由に過ごしました。

お食事はハワイアン・ルアウ・ビュッフェで、特にロミロミ・サーモンとカルア・ピッグが美味しかったです。今回のプランにはドリンクチケットが2枚含まれていたので、決められたメニューの中からカクテルと交換することができました。

注意点としては、自分のバス番号と帰りの時間をしっかり確認しておくことと、備考欄にもある通り別途チップの支払いが必要ということです。クラフトやドリンクをサーブしてもらった時など、日本には馴染みのない習慣なので忘れがちですが、ツアー代金は支払済みといえども気持ち程度のチップは必要です。

野外ステージで行われるショーは圧巻！です。フラや生演奏はもちろん、15分程の休憩後の炎を使ったパフォーマンスは一見の価値ありだと思います。思いがけず見ることができた綺麗なサンセットもプラスとなり、いい思い出になりました。

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT!

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

Helicopter tour! ヘリツアー!！

Reviewed by: hiro

We participated in a lava and canyon tour with a family of six, including an 83-year-old. Fortunately, the pilot was Japanese, so the explanations were easy to understand, which was great. Honestly, while it was nice to see the lava flowing to the coast, I had imagined something a bit more intense. What exceeded my expectations was the number of waterfalls in the canyon and the breathtaking experience of flying deep into the carved canyon, which is something only a helicopter can offer—absolutely amazing!

Hawaii Island has many areas that are difficult to access from the ground, so I recommend it for those with weaker legs. Although it costs a bit, the view from the sky during the nearly two-hour flight was worth it. I bought a video tape that included scenes from inside the aircraft, which became a fun memory.

83歳を含むファミリー6名で溶岩と渓谷のツアーに参加、
運よく操縦士の方が日本人だったので説明もよくわかりとてもよかった。
正直溶岩は海岸に流れているところが見えよかったが、もう少し激しいものを想像していたので？とおもうこともあった。想像以上だったのは渓谷での滝の多さと深く切り込んだ渓谷の間に入っていくのはヘリコプターならではの圧巻で最高！だった。
ハワイ島は地上からの無理なところも多いので、足が弱い方にもおすすめ、多少値段はかかるが空からの眺めは、あっという間の2時間弱、機内での様子を含んだ景色のビデオテープを買い楽しい思い出になりました。

The event will be held as usual despite the typhoon. 台風の中＝通常とおり開催ですよ＝

Reviewed by: ＪＵＮＪＩ

Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.

P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.

前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
　しかし、５００名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
　声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし（特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動！おかわりしちゃいました♪）ドリンク（ビールorソフトドリンク）も２杯飲めるし。
　ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
　もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
　予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。

Wonderful luau show. 素晴らしいルアウショー

Reviewed by: マック

On August 9, 2009, I participated with my family of three. We had seen shows in Waikiki before, but this was our first time attending an outdoor luau show. Most participants were from the mainland or foreign countries, and we were the only Japanese group that day. There were about 3% of people of Asian descent, but everyone spoke English fluently, and we communicated in English with those sitting next to us. We also did our best to enjoy ourselves with our limited English. Communication is all about the mindset... I learned how to give tips to the staff by watching others. The show started as the venue was bathed in the orange glow of dusk, and I thought it was a wonderful performance, ranging from traditional hula to fire dancing. On the way back, taxis were waiting outside the venue, so we called one over to take us to our hotel. It became a great memory.

０９年８月９日に家族３人で参加しました。これまでワイキキでショーなど見てきましたが、野外で行われるルアウショーへの参加は初めてでした。参加者は本土の方や外国の方がほとんどで、この日参加した日本人は我々１組でした。東洋系の人が３％程度いますが、皆英語が流暢で、隣になった人達と英語でコミュニケートしています。私達も片言の英語でがんばり楽しみました。コミュニケーションは気持ちのもちようですから・・・。　ボーイさんへのチップの渡し方なども見様見真似で覚えました。ショーは夕暮れのオレンジに会場が色づくころ始まり、伝統的なフラからファイアーダンスまで素晴らしいショーだと思います。帰りは、タクシーが会場の外で待っているので、適当に声をかけて宿泊先のホテルまで送ってもらいました。いい思い出となりました。

We barely left the hotel on time, but we quickly found free parking near Kailua Pier, and it was easy to park. I came wearing my swimsuit from the hotel, and there was a simple changing room next to the restroom at Kailua Pier. Some participants even changed in the restroom of the Body Glove boat.

After docking, there was a briefing on safety precautions. We confirmed the areas where we could play and the signals for OK/Help/Go Back while on the water, and then we finally headed to the sea. At first, the seawater felt cold, but gradually the water temperature rose, and the underwater scenery while snorkeling was very beautiful. The slide and jumping platform were also fun.

It’s not allowed to use the slide while wearing snorkeling gear, so I played with the goggles I brought. The oldest child, who is in elementary school, played vigorously, but the two younger kids (5 and 3 years old) initially jumped into the sea with enthusiasm. However, they soon said their legs and arms hurt, possibly because the seawater was cold or too salty, and they quickly got back on the boat to play in various ways. Although we didn’t see any dolphins, we were excited to see a turtle.

The light snack right after departure (pastries and fruit) was okay, but the sandwiches for lunch were very delicious. I will definitely do this again next time! It was a fantastic tour.

ホテルを出たのがギリギリになってしまったのですが、カイルア桟橋付近の無料駐車場がすぐに見つかり、簡単に停められました。

停泊した後、注意事項の説明がありました。遊んでよい範囲や海上でのOK/Help/GoBackの合図を確認し、いよいよ海へ。
最初こそ、海水が冷たく感じましたが、だんだん水温も上昇してきて、シュノーケルで見る海の中もとても綺麗ですし、滑り台やジャンプ台も楽しかったです。
シュノーケルの道具をしたまま、滑り台をやるのはダメなので、持参したゴーグルをつけて遊びました。
一番上の小学生の子供は、ガンガン遊びましたが、下の２人の子供たち（５才と３才）は、最初こそ勢いよく海に飛び込んだのですが、海水が冷たいのか、濃度が高いのか、足や腕がイタイと言って、すぐに上がってしまい、船の上で様々に遊んでいました。イルカは見れませんでしたが、亀が見れたのには、はしゃいでいました。
朝の出発直後の軽食（菓子パンとフルーツ）はまあまあ。ですが、お昼のサンドイッチは、とてもおいしかったです。

Most of the luaus are sound pretty similar when you read the descriptions, but this also included unlimited drinks and was a little less expensive. The show itself seemed really short, because I was very intrigued by the different dances. Get there early! there was a long line, and they were sold out of the $15pp "VIP" option. i'm not really sure it's worth it anyway. you get up front seating and get in line for food first, but we had a decent view from our seats in the back and the food line went pretty quick! My mom used to dance hawaiian and tahitian, so i was familiar with costumes, props, etc and they seem pretty authentic.

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＞

This is the real luau! これぞ本物のルアウ！

Reviewed by: soro

The luau at Paradise Cove is amazing, which is surprising considering how little it is advertised in tourist information in Japan! It's a fantastic tour that can't be summed up in just one word. An American from the mainland boasted, "You have to see this when you come to Hawaii. It's absolutely unmissable!" It seems to be quite famous in the U.S., and there were people who took vacations just to experience it.

Once you get on the bus, the guide is full of energy, and the tour begins in an exciting atmosphere.

First of all, the location is fundamentally different from the mock luaus held around hotels. The venue is set in a resort area, making it feel like a genuine festival (luau). Participating in various events while watching the sunset over the ocean is a delightful part of the luau experience.

However, if I had to point out one downside from a Japanese perspective, it might be the question of whether the food is suitable for a dinner show. Well, the buffet-style Hawaiian cuisine... might be a bit too bland. Aside from top-tier hotel buffets, this is probably the norm.

But once the lights go down and darkness falls, it becomes truly spectacular! As the spotlight shines and the intense flames dance, the show begins with a mix of enchanting hula performances that drive toward the climax. The excitement and emotion are so overwhelming that the taste of the food fades away.

I was impressed by the service, such as when a shy girl got the chance to go on stage... Truly, this is Hawaii's No. 1 luau! What I think about now that I'm in Hawaii is, "This is something you absolutely can't miss!"

どういう訳か…日本で目にする観光案内にはあまり宣伝されていないのが不思議なくらい、パラダイス・コーブのルアウは最高です！
一言では言い表せないファンタスティックなツアーです。
「ハワイに来たら必ず観るのさ。絶対に外せないネ！」とメインランドからきたアメリカ人が豪語してましたが、米国では相当に有名らしく、これが楽しみで休暇をとって来たという方もいらっしゃいました。
バスに乗り込めば、もうガイドはノリノリ。エキサイティングな雰囲気に包まれてツアーが始まります。

先ず、ホテル周辺で開催される模擬的なルアウとは根本的なロケーションが違い過ぎます。リゾート地に会場を設け、地に着いたお祭り（ルアウ）そのものからして本物だと実感させられます。
海に沈み行く夕日を眺めながら、会場内にある数々のイベントに参加するのもルアウの楽しいひと時です。
ただ一つ、日本人からの難点を挙げるとすれば、ディナーショーにふさわしい料理か？という不満はあるかも知れません。
まあ、ハワイ料理のビッフェスタイル…大味のオンパレードは仕方ないかも。一流ホテルのビッフェを除けば大抵はこんなモノでしょうかね。
しかし、一旦照明が落ちて漆黒を迎えてからが圧巻です！
スポットライトが射し込み、強烈な炎の舞で一気に幕が開くと、妖艶優美なフラとが入り乱れてクライマックスへ向けて延々とドライブが続きます。
もう料理の味など吹っ飛ぶほどの興奮と感動を堪能するのです。
シャイな娘が舞台に上がる機会をいただけたり…客へのサービスも演出された、さすがハワイNo.1のルアウだな！と感銘した次第。
ハワイに来て今想う事は、「これだけは外せない」です！
