We attended on Monday October 16. The 4 guys did such a fantastic job making it fun for all of us. It was a unique and exciting experience. I can not say enough good things about it. I highly recommend it and would even go so far as to say it is a MUST DO on the Big Island!!

The show structure was wonderful! I enjoyed the interaction with the dancers before the meal. The staff's service was also very pleasant.

ショー構成素晴らしい！
ダンサーさんとの食事前の交流が楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々の対応も気持ち良かったです。

The whole experience was great ! I did have a couple of questions before we went ...so I called the tour phone number and she too was also helpful ..super service from beginning to end . The Bus driver who picked us up was engaging and very knowledgeable of Hawaii and made the drive there and back fun and time passed quickly .Both wife and I are 60 ish and had a fantastic time . The ATV was an adventure ride for sure ..and did not disappoint !The Atv leader was very patient with us as we had never ridden an ATV before ... and before long we were buzzing along.Thanks for taking our pictures too !
Ok ...so now we are warmed up ...and up next was zip lining !
Didn't have to go any where because it's right here at same location !
Yes there are lockers to rent of different sizes too so you can leave your stuff and enjoy yourselves ! There is a also a shower so you can wash off there ..(maybe bring a towel and change of clothes .)Ok ..so you are like us and never Zip lined before ? No problem here . The staff was patient and informative and we felt safe at all times .
Great job everyone !! Thanks for making life memories for us !

My first show ever , I did not know what to expect but I loved it . I am definitely coming back and enjoy the garden next time . The theater was something I really loved . The last act with the fire was my favorite. I do recommend for families or even for solo travelers . I learned a little more about the culture and the different races that have made Hawaii a paradise with culture and history

The performers and food was really good. Only comment I had been to the same Luau 4 years earlier and the story was much more in depth . We truly enjoyed it but 4 years ago you got to hear the complete story of Hawaii.

This was my second time participating alone! I'm a beginner at surfing. I had a private lesson at a different surf school once before, but the group lessons here are much more relaxed in terms of atmosphere and price, and I really like it! All the instructors are friendly, and we can enjoy chatting about surfing as well as various things about Hawaii! Depending on the day, there are instructors who can speak Japanese, and the flow of the lesson and important notes are explained in Japanese, which is reassuring. This seems like it will become my go-to in Honolulu!

1人で2回目の参加でした！サーフィン初心者です。以前1度別のサーフスクールでプライベートレッスンを受けたことがありますが、こちらのグループレッスンは雰囲気的にも価格的にもよりリラックスして参加でき、気にいっています！インストラクターの方もみなさんフレンドリーで、サーフィンのことはもちろん、ハワイのことなど色々お話ししながら楽しめます！日によりますが日本語が話せるインストラクターもいらっしゃり、レッスンの流れや注意事項の説明は日本語表記があるため安心です。私のホノルルでの定番になりそうです！

On October 29th, I participated in a show that I had been interested in for a while as a memory of my trip to Hawaii.

First, we enjoyed a meal while watching hula dancing, sipping on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks made with orange and fresh pineapple. The luxurious buffet-style dinner created a wonderful atmosphere where everyone was cheerful and friendly. The desserts, including coffee, fruits, and ice cream, were also very delicious.

During the showtime, we were treated to beautiful singing and authentic hula. I was captivated by the spectacular performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, making for an unforgettable night and a lovely memory.

10/29にハワイ旅行の記念に以前から気になっていたショーの参加をしました。
まずは、食事ですがオレンジに生パインのアルコールやノンアルをいただきながら、フラの踊りを観賞。そして豪華なビュッフェスタイルの夕食は、みんな和気あいあいでとても素敵な雰囲気でした。デザートもコーヒーや果物、アイスクリームもあって、とても美味しかった。
ショータイムは歌手の素敵な歌と本場フラ。
また、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーアップされた演出に心を奪われ感激の夜を過ごし、素敵な記念になりました。

It was really interesting and a great experience, but I was a bit scared and felt like I might fall, so I couldn't relax. My daughter was happily taking pictures with one hand, but I couldn't do it. When we arrived, my legs and back were shaking. I felt unsteady. However, it's definitely worth experiencing at least once.

とっても面白かったし、よい体験になりましたが、少し落ちそうで怖くて、余裕がありません。娘は、るんるんで片手で写真をとってるけど、私はだめ。着いたら足も腰もガタガタ。フラフラでした。でも、一度は体験する価値あり

At the airport, once you exit, there is a staff member (you can recognize them by their aloha shirts), so after you speak to them, they will guide you to the bus smoothly. (You may have to wait a little for the bus to arrive.) I always use this service, and I think the sense of security is the best!

空港について、出口から出ると担当者の方（アロハシャツで分かる）がいるので、声をかけてからはとんとん拍子でバスへ案内していただけます。（バス到着までは、少々待ちますが）いつも利用していますが、安心感は一番かな！と思っています。

Four years ago, my husband and I had the opportunity to experience this. We had such a wonderful time that this time, I was very happy to participate in the tour with our family of five, and it was incredibly fun. The instructor was very supportive of our grandchildren, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a tour we want to go on whenever we come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.

今回、私達は夫婦は四年前に体験させて頂いております。とっても楽しい時間を過ごしましたので
今回は家族５人でツアー参加できた事、とっても嬉しかったですし、とっても楽しいかったです。
インストラクターのお姉さんが孫達をしっかりサポートしてくださっていたので、ありがたかったです。ハワイに来たら必ず行きたいツアーですね。ありがとうございました。

It was disappointing that some attractions were under maintenance and we couldn't experience them, but we had a really fun time. My grandchildren were also very happy. Some people might wonder why you would go to Hawaii just for a pool, but there aren't many pools like this in Japan, so I was very satisfied.

Also, since it was a plan with transportation included, I wasn't sure when to give the tip. I was hoping to meet the guide on the way back, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see her. I ended up giving the tip to the taxi driver, but I'm not sure what happens to that tip. We also went to the Heaven's Beach Sandbar this time, and since we received guidance on tipping there, I thought it would be the same this time, so it felt a bit off.

メンテナンス中のものがあり出来なかったのは残念でしたが、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすしました。孫達も大喜びでした。ハワイに来てプール？という人もいるかもしれないですが、日本にはなかなかこんなプールないので大変満足しました。
それから、送迎付きでのプランだったのですが、チップを渡すタイミングが分からなくて帰りガイドのお姉さんに会えると思って待っていましたが会えなくて残念でした。タクシーの方に渡しましたが、このチップはどうなるのか分からない部分です。今回も天国の海サンドバーにも行きましたがチップの案内をして貰えたので、また言って貰えるものだと思っていましたのでしっくりいかなかったです。

This tour was the highlight of my families trip. The tour was amazing and our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He was happy to answer all of my children's questions.

I was able to tour the North Shore for just over three hours, and it was really great. However, since I was participating alone, I felt some frustration with the driver's attitude and strong tone from the beginning.

3時間ちょっとノースショアを観光が出来て凄く良かったです。
ただひとりでの参加ということもあるかもしれませんが、始めからドライバーの方の態度や強い言い方にこちらも苛立ちを感じました。

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.

I tried three activities: jet skiing, bumper tubing, and parasailing. It was all my first time, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました. The bumper tubing was especially intense with the centrifugal force, and I was desperately hanging on. However, one disappointing thing was that there was no changing room after the activities, so I had to change in the restroom. If there had been a changing room, it would have been perfect.

水上ジェットスキー
バンパーチューブ
パラセーリング
の３つをやりました
全て初めてだったのですが、日本語話せるスタッフだったので安心して楽しめました
特にバンパーチューブは遠心力が凄くしがみつくのに必死でした
ただ１個だけ残念なところが終わったあと更衣室がなくトイレで着替えたところでしたので、更衣室があれば満点でした

About ten years ago, I visited Kauai and, since seeing the view from the Kalalau Lookout, I had always wanted to see the Na Pali Coast from a boat someday. This time, I decided to go to Hawaii and Kauai, and I signed up for this tour in Japan.

I think it was a great experience. Being able to see the beauty of the Na Pali Coast with my own eyes was invaluable. If possible, I would have liked to see a bit further along the coast. I also enjoyed the beautiful long beaches of Barking Sands Beach and Polihale State Park on the way to the Na Pali Coast. The day before, I drove to a bit beyond Barking Sands Beach to an unpaved area, but I thought it wouldn't be easy to reach Polihale.

I'm not good at snorkeling, so I didn't snorkel off the coast of Niihau, but I wish I had at least swum a little with fins. There were 33 participants that day, and I was the only Japanese person. Everyone else was snorkeling. The scenery of Niihau also left an impression on me.

The captain explained things well. I didn't understand much of the explanations in English, though. It was a tour where I truly felt the scale and greatness of nature at the Na Pali Coast. It left a strong impression on me.

Before going, I was concerned about driving there, but I am grateful that I was able to go safely. I realized once again that it's important to plan and prepare thoroughly in advance. I thank the captain and the two crew members.

10年くらい前にカイアウ島へ行ったことがあり、カララウ展望台からの景色を見たときから、ナ・パリ・コーストをいつか船上から是非見てみたいと思っていました。今回、思い切ってハワイ島、カウアイ島へ行くことにし、日本でこのツアーに参加申し込みをしていました。
実際に行って、大変良かったと思います。ナ・パリ・コーストの美しさを実際に自分の目で見れたことは何にも代えがたいです。できれば、コーストのもう少し先まで見てみたいと思いました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストへ行くまでのバーキングサンズビーチ、ポリハレ州立公園のきれいな長いビーチも良かったと思います。前日にバーキングサンズビーチの少し先あたりの舗装されていないところまで車で行きましたが、ポリハレまで行くのは容易でないと思っていました。
シュノーケリングは不得手で、ニイハウ島沖でのシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、フィンをつけて少し泳ぐだけでもすればよかったと思っています。当日は33名の参加で、日本人は私だけでした。他の人は皆、シュノーケリングをしていました。ニイハウ島の景色も印象に残りました。
キャプテンもよく説明されていました。英語での説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが。
ナ・パリ・コーストのスケールの大きさ、自然の偉大さを実感したツアーでした。とても印象に残ります。
行く前は現地での車の運転等、気にしていましたが、無事、行くことができて有難く思っています。事前の計画、準備をしっかりしておくことが大事だとあらためて思いました。キャプテン、2人のクルーに感謝します。

The snorkeling lasted just under an hour, but it was quite exhausting. For me, it was the right amount of time. I was also able to enjoy seeing the sea turtles. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. With unlimited soft drinks, I didn't have to worry about hydration. A larger towel is definitely a must.

シュノーケルは1時間弱でしたがかなり体力消耗しました　私的には適量な時間でした
ウミガメにもあえて満喫できました
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくいただきました
ソフトドリンクが飲み放題なので水分補給は心配なし
大きめのタオルは必須ですね

Best time ever. The crew are all wonderful. The crew made the trip fun and educational. Lots of marine life.

It was a good tour and great driver. I wish we would have stopped at more of the scenic spots and skipped some of the roadside gift shops. One was enough. I would skip the Dole Plantation altogether.

It was great until we got on the boat, but the waves were so strong that I got seasick and couldn't enjoy it at all. It seems that Japanese people are gathered on the second floor of the boat, but it shakes a lot up there. I definitely think that anyone who gets motion sickness should avoid this. During our time, we couldn't even see any dolphins. Honestly, I felt like I wanted at least a little bit of my money back.

船に乗るまでは良かったですが、波がすごくて船酔いして全く楽しめませんでした。
日本人は船の2階に集めらるみたいですが、２階がすごく揺れます。少しでも乗り物酔いする方は絶対にやめておいたほうがよいと思います。
私達の時はイルカも見れませんでした。ほんと、少しでいいからお金返してほしい気持ちでした。

Quick and informational tour. Loved the movie and boat ride to USS Arizona. The drive through China town and historic downtown Honolulu was a plus with time to take pics at Lolani palace and King Kamehameha statue. Could have been better if the transportation was not old, creaking, and bumpy. Also, no bottled water was provided as promised and shown on the prepaid voucher. If your looking to not spend all day at Pearl harbor, pay your respects, and see downtown this is the tour to go on.

Very well organized tour with beautiful scenery throughout. There is so much opportunity to take lots of pictures and interact with movie props, etc. There is also a variety of activities to do. However, this review is only for the Movie sites and ranch tour. The tour was perfect for those who cannot endure bumpy ride such as the elderly and pregnant. My mother was comfortable and did not complain about it being too rough. Our tour guide made it really special. He was very informative and engaging. Also, you can tell that he really enjoys what he is doing and really has a passion for movies and discussing them. I also love the fact that he was willing to take pictures Group/families. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who loves nature and movies, or would just like to spend a 1/2 day at Kuaola ranch.

Firstly, my stepmother, my sister, and I had SO MUCH FUN! We knew going into this that based on the price and other photos we saw of the tails that these would not come out looking like "realistic" mermaids.

They had a variety of stretchy fabric tails to choose from in various sizes and some to fit larger body types. You can tell the tails have been through the ringer a bit with stains and small tears but none of that showed in the pics.

Mickey was amazing! He was patient, funny, kind, and had many poses in mind. He used a gopro for all of the shots, taking mini videos for you to pull pictures from). The lagoon we shot at was a bit murky so couldn't really get that many underwater pictures.

We definitely got some good shots but I (a professional photographer including boudoir) had to give a lot of direction to him and to my family. I was also able to save/make a lot of the shots pretty due to photoshop. Otherwise there would have been lots of pics of us from overhead like my hair flip photos which should have been taken from much lower/straight on to get the full effect of the hair flip.

In no way was that Mickey's fault, though. I think the company mainly has men under their employment and mostly focuses on scuba diving so I can imagine none of the guys are vying to do the mermaid session and therefore make the youngest, newest employee do it. It's management/the owners that should consider having whoever does the mermaid experience have some photography training even if a cheap, online one. Mickey did AMAZING with the skillet he had and was an absolute pleasure to work with and be around.

At the end of the day, for the price, and the experience we'd definitely would recommend. Just know you're not walking away looking like a real mermaid with breathtaking photos. Lol.

It was truly a valuable experience to visit Waipi'o Valley, which we couldn't have gone to on our own, and I definitely want to go again.

Since there was only an English tour, it was a bit challenging to interpret for my husband, but it was really a sacred area where we received a lot of energy.

The guide was also very kind, and I would love to participate again.

自分たちでは行けないワイピオ渓谷へ行けたのは本当に貴重な経験で絶対また行きたいです。

英語のツアーしかないので主人への通訳が少し大変でしたがほんとに神聖なエリアでたくさんパワーをもらいました。

ガイドさんもとっても親切で是非また参加したいです。

Great cruise, all staff, especially our service assistant, were extremely pleasant, professional, and efficient. A very good buffet with carved roast beef, delicious chicken and fish, everything. Fireworks show a bit difficult. In order to see it well people had to run to one side of the ship, not only tilting the ship a bit but making it even more difficult for people who didn't want to dash to the side to see. This was only a minor observation.

I arrived about 15 minutes late for the appointment. Since it was overseas and only English was spoken, I felt quite anxious while waiting.

約束の時間より、15分程遅れて来ました。海外で、英語のみの対応だったので、待ってる間、かなり不安になってしまいました。

A wonderful car and excellent service. However, I was left with a lingering feeling because I was asked to pay a tip. Even though the fee included tips, I felt a bit guilty.

素敵な車、素敵なサービス。ただただ、チップを払ってくださいと言われたことが心残り。チップ込みの料金なのに、申し訳ない気分になりました。

I attended the show only without a meal. It was exciting and fun from start to finish! My mother and I participated, and even though there is a generation gap, we were able to enjoy the songs we both knew! I was satisfied to see hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing! The air conditioning in the venue was quite strong, so it was a good idea to bring a light jacket! The ambiance is nice, and there’s no confusion, so I highly recommend it.

食事なしショーのみに参加しました。
最初から最後まですごい盛り上がって楽しかったです！
母娘で参加し世代は違えど知ってる曲が流れ楽しむ事ができました！フラダンス、タヒチアンダンス、ファイヤーダンス全て観れて満足しました！
館内は冷房が強めにかかっていたので羽織り物を持っていって正解でした！
リッチもいいし迷うこともないのでおすすめです。

I visited Kailua Beach for the first time. I was truly impressed by its beauty, which is indeed ranked number one in the United States. I recommend renting a bike (beach cruiser) as an option to extend your trip to Lanikai Beach, which is right next to Kailua Beach. Lanikai Beach had mostly white visitors, giving me a sense of being abroad. Since I had some extra time, I rode my bike to downtown and enjoyed exploring like a local. The locals weren't wearing masks either. If you rent a bike, please be mindful of traffic rules and etiquette.

初めてカイルアビーチに行ってみました。
確かに全米1位の綺麗さに感動しました。
お薦めはカイルアビーチの隣にあるラニカイビーチまで自転車（ビーチクルーザー）をオプションで借りて足を伸ばすプランです。
ラニカイビーチはほとんど白人のみで、外国に来た感も味わえました。
時間が余ったので、ダウンタウンへ自転車で、気分はロコで散策していました。
地元の良方々もマスクはされていません。
自転車を借りる場合、交通ルールやマナーに注意してくださいね。

I personally recommend it. On the first day in Hawaii, I participated with a friend. The venue was on the rooftop with a covered area, and we could choose to sit facing each other at a long table or next to each other. Once seated, we chose either a Mai Tai or juice. About one-third of the attendees were Japanese. It was a buffet-style meal, and during the meal, the staff entertained us with ukulele performances and hula dancing. After the meal, we moved to the theater venue. I had reserved seats in the second floor, but there was no second floor to begin with, so perhaps because there were few people, we ended up sitting in the fifth row from the front. The show lasted 90 minutes and was surprisingly professional and really good!

個人的にはオススメです。ハワイ初日に友達と2人で参加しました。屋上で屋根付きの会場で、長机に向かい合って座るか隣りに座るか選択できました。席に着くとマイタイかジュースを選びます。３分の1は日本人でした。ビュッフェ形式で、食事中はスタッフがウクレレで弾き歌いやフラダンスなどで楽しませてくれます。食事が終わるとシアター会場に移動します。2階席で予約しましたがそもそも2階が存在せず、、人が少なかったせいか前から5番目に座りました。ショーは90分、思いの外プロ並みでとっても良かったです！
