We had a great experience and the food was delicious.

It's a bit expensive, but you should choose the PM course. The AM course can be cold if it's not sunny. When it's cloudy or rainy, the water visibility is low and it feels cold. The snorkeling equipment is old and there isn't enough, so I recommend buying some at ABC Store before going.

多少高いがPMコースにするべき。AMコースは晴れていないと寒い。
曇りや雨だと、水の透明度も低く冷たく感じる。シュノーケル機材も古く数も足りないので、ABCストアで買って行くのをお勧めする。

I wanted my grandchildren to experience various activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, so we went as a family of nine, including my four grandchildren (ages 0, 2, 10, and 11). Children aged 0 and 2 are free, and those aged 10 and 11 get half price. Other tours don’t offer such benefits, so we were able to participate at a reasonable cost. We had a great time exploring the six villages and experiencing Polynesian culture, as well as enjoying a canoe tour.

Since very little Japanese was spoken, it was difficult to understand how to use the voucher for entry and the announcements regarding pickup times and locations. Japanese brochures are available at the entrance.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターで子どもたちに色々と体験させたいと思い、孫4人(0歳2歳10歳11歳)を含め一家9人で行きました。0歳2歳は無料、10歳11歳は半額。他のツアーではこのような特典がないので、リーズナブルに参加することができました。6つ村を巡ってポリネシア文化体験、カヌーツアーと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
日本語がほとんど通じなかったので、バウチャーを使っての入園の仕方や迎えの時間と場所のアナウンスが分かりにくかったです。
日本語版のリーフレットは、入口でもらえます。

It's early in the morning, and although the activity time is only two hours, which seems inefficient, it's incredibly fun. Unlike horseback riding experiences at tourist spots in Japan, I really felt like I was riding the horse myself. (Maybe I was just being put on it?) Anyway, it was very fulfilling.

朝早くてそれでもアクティビティの時間は２時間と効率は悪い様ですが何より楽しい。
日本の観光地の乗馬体験とは違い自分でも馬に乗ったと思えます。（乗せられたのかも？)
とにかく充実感あります。

It's an impersonation, but the music is good, so I enjoyed seeing it live. I think it's great for those who can no longer enjoy a regular luau show.

物まねですが、楽曲がいいので実際に生で見ると楽しめました。
普通のルアウショーが楽しめなくなった人にいいと思います。

This was my second visit. I was guided to an outdoor seat, but when I requested to change to an indoor seat, I was taken to the second floor, which had a nice atmosphere, and we started our meal. The food was delicious. However, about 30 minutes in, a group of around eight people who completely disregarded the surrounding environment sat nearby. Their loud, almost shrill laughter and vulgar tone ruined the atmosphere. It seemed that most of them had been living in Hawaii for a long time, engaging in noisy conversations in Japanese. They had no manners, and I felt that it lowered the establishment's dignity and reputation. Since I was traveling, I chose not to say anything, and I understand that the restaurant cannot choose its customers, but it would have been nice if they had some measures in place to maintain the restaurant's standards. It was a shame to have such a wonderful dinner ruined. It was disappointing, especially since the food was so good.

２度目の往訪。屋外の席に案内されたが、室内に変更を希望すると２階席に案内され、雰囲気もよく、会食を開始。料理はおいしかったです。ところが、開始３０分後、周囲への迷惑を全く気にしない集団８名ほどが近くの席に。特に女性陣のけたたましい、奇声に近い笑い声、下品な口調で雰囲気は台無しに。ハワイに長く住んでいる方々が大半の様で、日本語でのうるさい会話。マナーも無く、お店にとっても品格が下がり、品位が疑われるのではと思われました。旅行中なので敢えて注意しませんでしたし、お店も客は選べないのでしょうが、お店の格を守るためにも注意が合っても良かったのでは。せっかくのディナーは台無しに。美味しかっただけに残念です。

We participated as a family of five.
At first, we were shown a video in Japanese, so there were no problems.
For now, we got covered in sand. (laughs)
That said, they provided goggles and something to cover our mouths, so it wasn't an issue.
There are ups and downs, but it's not as scary as it sounds. We departed in groups of about ten, and the guide stopped at points to provide guidance, but I couldn't understand what he was saying in English. I think it would be helpful to have a translation app.
At one of the stops, a local staff member will take photos for you, so be sure to ask.
Also, since we had two hours, I think we really got to enjoy nature in the end.

家族5人で参加しました。
最初の説明などは日本語でのビデオを見せてもらえるので問題ありません。
とりあえず、砂まみれになります。笑
とはいえ、ゴーグルや口をおおうものをくれるので問題なかったです。
アップダウンはありますが、恐怖ほどはないです。10台ずつぐらいまとめて出発し、ガイドさんがポイントで止まりガイダンスしてくれますが、英語で何をいってるのか不明でした。翻訳アプリあるといいと思います。
途中のポイントでは現地スタッフのお兄さんが写真を撮ってくれるので頼んでみましょう。
あとは、、2時間あるので最後は自然を充分味わった感があると思います。

I had a wonderful night in Hawaii♡ It started while it was still bright in the evening, and I enjoyed the transition of the sky from dusk to night♪

とても素晴らしいHawaiiの夜を過ごす事ができました♡夕方明るいうちから始まり､夕暮れから夜になる空の移り変わりも楽しめました♪

My son had the best experience all thanks to Gio, thank you and your crew.

Last time, I participated in a different sandbar tour with Veltra around the same time, but it was so deep that my daughter, who is nearly 140 cm tall, couldn't touch the bottom, and it was cold, so we wanted to try again. It was really great!! We saw a lot of fish and were able to do many marine sports, which was the best. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who can't swim at all, had no problems with snorkeling for the first time. The banana boat was also fantastic. I would love to participate again. If I had to say something, I wish there were a few more drinks available...

前回、同じ時期にベルトラの別のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、140センチ近くある娘の足が付かないほど深くて、かつ寒くて今回リベンジ。凄く良かったです！！魚もたくさん見れて、マリンスポーツもたくさん出来て最高でした。全く泳げないシュノーケリングも初体験の9才の娘でも問題ありませんでした。バナナボートも最高でした。また参加したいです。強いて言うなら、もうちょっとドリンク類置いて欲しかったな、、、

About 15 people, including Australians and African Americans, boarded the boat together. All the explanations were in English, which made it quite challenging to understand, but it was okay because I could grasp the atmosphere. The views were amazing, and the breeze felt great!

オーストラリア人や、アフリカ系の黒人たちと15名ほどが一緒に船に乗りました。
説明も全て英語で、聞き取りも大変でしたが、雰囲気で分かるから大丈夫。
最高の景色と風が気持ち良かったです！

I participated on September 10. Despite paying a fairly high fee, three activities were closed. By around noon, it seemed that the staff were short-handed due to their breaks, leading to even more closed activities. They did not reopen until we boarded the return bus before 3 PM. It felt almost like a scam. Perhaps it would have been different on another day, but that was the only day my family could go. If you decide to book, it seems to be a matter of luck.

現地日付9月10日に参加しました。まぁまぁ高い料金を払ったのにクローズドのアクティビティが3箇所。昼くらいになるとスタッフが休憩に入る事で人手が足りてないのか、更にクローズドのアクティビティが続出。15時前に帰りのバスに乗るまで再開されませんでした。殆ど詐欺レベルという印象です。他の日なら違ったのかもしれませんが、私達家族が行けたのは其の日だけなワケで。申し込むなら運次第でしょうね。

I was hesitant to participate because I'm not good with heights, but I decided to join since it was a special opportunity. Once I got up there, the fear disappeared, and I was just able to enjoy the wonderful scenery. It was an extraordinary experience. Before I knew it, it was over, and I was laughing. The final landing was expertly done by the professionals, gently touching down in the sea. It really got my adrenaline pumping. The boat was quite rocky, so a strong motion sickness pill is a must.

高い所は苦手で参加するか迷いましたが、せっかくなのでと参加しました。
上がってしまえば怖さはなく、ただただ素敵な景色が見える♪非日常な体験です。
ワーワー言っているうちに終わります笑
最後の着水はプロの技で上手に海にポチョンとつけてくれました。テンション上がります。
船の揺れはすごいのでガッチリ効く酔い止め必須です。

A magnificent and lively circus with a comical and heartwarming structure. As expected, it's great! It seems like even 4-5 year olds would enjoy it. Next time, I will bring my grandchild.

華麗に躍動するサーカスとコミカルでホッと笑える構成。さすが👍　４-５歳でも楽しく観れそうです。次回は孫を連れて来ます。

Cousin Gaby was hilarious and informative. The site was breathtaking.

We enjoyed this trip a lot. The crew did they best to make sure we had good time and were safe. Live music was awesome!

The staff were very kind, and it was a fun experience. They do some really enjoyable things, so let's keep the energy high!

スタッフな方もとても親切で楽しい経験でした。なかなか楽しいこともしてくれるので、テンション高めいきましょう。

It was a very good and fun experience, from pushing out the canoe to lifting it up, together with the staff. We paddled out to the open sea and rode the waves. I definitely want to recommend it.

カヌーを押し出すところから、押し上げる迄、スタッフの方達といっしょで、とてもいい　楽しい経験でした。沖まで漕いで、波に乗って。　是非ともおすすめしたいです。

Out of 16 participants, we were the only two Japanese. On the bus, we introduced ourselves in English, and if you're proficient in English, you'll have a great time. The guide was kind, but we understood more than half of the content. In the morning activities, swimming was prohibited at the waterfall in the botanical garden due to lack of rain (the waterfall itself was dry and not flowing), so I recommend snorkeling. The kayaking was just under an hour on the river. The stops along the bus route included a coconut farm, a fruit stand (a roadside shop), and a shopping mall (single-story). We bought a papaya for $4 at the fruit stand (it was perfectly ripe and very delicious when we ate it at the hotel), and we had Matsumoto's shaved ice at the shopping mall. We had plenty of time and enjoyed ourselves.

参加者16人中、日本人は私たち２人だけ。バスでは英語で自己紹介をするなど、英語が堪能であれば十分楽しめます。ガイドさんは親切でしたが、私たちは半分以上内容を理解できませんでした。午前中のアクティビティーは、植物園の滝は雨不足で水泳禁止だったので（滝自体、枯れ枯れで流れていません）、シュノーケリングをお勧めします。カヤックは川で１時間弱。バスの途中立ち寄り場所は、ココナッツ農園、フルーツスタンド（道路脇の売店）、ショッピングモール（平屋）でした。フルーツスタンドでパパイアを１個$4で買い（ホテルで食べたら、食べごろでとてもおいしかったです）、ショッピングモールでマツモトのかき氷を食べました。時間的には余裕があり楽しめました。

We participated as a couple. We were a bit anxious since we were the only Japanese people there, but the staff member Tamae provided us with detailed explanations in Japanese and frequently checked in with us, which made us feel at ease. The manta rays in the night sea were incredibly powerful, and it was a very mystical experience.

夫婦で参加させてもらいました。日本人が私たちのみで不安でしたが、スタッフのタマエさんが日本語で丁寧な説明や頻回な声かけをしてくださり安心できました。夜の海でのマンタは大迫力で、とても神秘的な体験ができました。

I rode this again after going last time. The sea sparkled beautifully. The dolphins came close and stayed with us for quite a while. The sea breeze felt really nice.

前回行った時も乗って今回リピートしました。
海がキラキラ光ってとてもキレイです。
イルカが近くに来て結構ずっとついてきてくれました。
海風がとても気持ち良かったです。

Traveling through the tunnels was a lot of fun and our guide Megan was very informative about the plantation history.

I drove a buggy in the magnificent nature. The ups and downs are intense. There was no Japanese guide, so I could hardly understand what was being said. I only enjoyed about half of it, but I think those who understand English would have a great time. Besides buggies, there are cycling and horseback riding options.

雄大な自然の中、バギーで運転しました。アップダウンは激しい。日本語ガイドいないので何言ってるかほとんど分からず。半分ほどしか楽しめてないが、英語がわかる方はすごい楽しいと思います。バギー以外に、サイクリング、ホースがあります。

We rode four-wheel buggies as a family. My spouse and I took turns driving, and it was truly enjoyable to see the wonderful scenery of Hawaii while off-roading. The kids were also thrilled. The guide spoke English, so it was difficult for me to understand everything with my listening skills, but they cheerfully shared many stories about the history of Kualoa Ranch. They were a wonderful guide.

家族で4輪バギーに乗りました。夫婦で交代で運転でき、オフロードを走りながらハワイの素晴らしい景色を見られて本当に楽しかったです。子供も大喜びでした。ガイドさんは英語だったので、私のリスニング力では全ての理解は難しかったですが、ハキハキ明るくクアロアランチにまつわるハワイの昔話を随所随所でお話してくださりました。とても素敵なガイドさんでした。

I was worried about the meal because I didn't have a great experience at a previous event, but everything was very delicious. The pineapple and the lomi lomi before the meal were especially fantastic.
I arrived early, and before the buffet started, each group was treated to a live performance of a ukulele chorus. I recommend arriving early.
The show focused on Elvis and Michael, and I think adults will really enjoy it.
It might be a bit difficult for those from generations that aren't very familiar with Elvis and Michael.
After the show, there was time to take photos with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

お食事は、以前別のイベントであまりいい思い出がなかったので、心配していましたが、どれもとてもおいしくいただきました。特に食前のパイナップルやロミロミが最高でした。
早めに到着しましたが、ビュッフェが始まる前に１組ずつウクレレのワンコーラスの生演奏をしていただきました。早めに行くことをお勧めします。
ショーはエルビスとマイケル中心で、大人の方々は大変楽しめると思います。
あまりエルビスと、マイケルになじみのない世代には少し難しいかもしれません。。
ショーの後は、演者の方々と写真を撮る時間もあり、いい記念になりました。

I checked in at 9:30 for my 10:00 reservation and boarded the boat as soon as the previous group returned. There were two crew members and ten passengers. Right after boarding, we put on life jackets and seat belts, and took turns jumping. I was nervous until we took off, but once we were in the air, the sound of the wind was pleasant, and the blue of the sky and sea was beautiful. It was amazing to see Diamond Head and Waikiki from the ocean side.

10時予約のため9時30分に受付、前のグループが戻って来てすぐに乗船。
クルーは2人、乗客は10名でした。乗船後すぐにライフジャケット、ベルト着用、順番に飛びます。飛ぶまではドキドキしましたが、上空に上がると風の音が心地良く、空と海の青さが綺麗で海からダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの景色を海側から見ることが出来素晴らしかったです。

The sandbar was not a beach but a shallow area that was about knee-deep. However, since I checked the tide data in advance, I was able to enjoy it quite a bit. Everyone had fun playing beach volleyball and practicing snorkeling.

The hamburgers for lunch were incredibly delicious. I was also amazed by the number of sea turtles we saw.

The final snorkeling experience was wonderful, with clear water and lots of tropical fish. Even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, it was enjoyable.

All the crew members were fantastic, always keeping us entertained and paying close attention to safety, for which I am very grateful.

サンドバーは砂浜ではなく膝下くらいまで浸かる浅瀬でしたが、それは事前に干潮満潮データを見て行っていたので、それはそれなりに楽しめました。みんなビーチバレーやシュノーケルの練習を行い楽しかったです。
昼食のハンバーガーもめちゃくちゃ美味しくいただきました。
ウミガメウォッチもめちゃくちゃいて驚きました。
最後のシュノーケルは水中がきれいで熱帯魚達がたくさんいました。泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました。
クルーの方々全員素晴らしい方で常に楽しませていただき、安全にも十分気を配っていただき感謝です。

I had a great time! I definitely want to ride again next time. (Thank you for resending the data.)

とても楽しかったです！
次もまた絶対乗りたい。
（データ送り直してくださりありがとうございました。）

I had a great time paragliding for the first time.
I understand a little Japanese.
They ask how long you want to stay in the water.
The scenery was very beautiful.

I went at 4 PM.
Due to the sunlight, there was almost no shade in the waiting area, and it was hot while waiting.

There was a restroom nearby, but it was a public toilet by the beach.
There may be times when there is no toilet paper.

初めてのパラセイルとっても楽しめました。
日本語は少し通じます。
どれくらい着水したいか聞いてくれます。
とても景色が綺麗でした。

16時の回でした。
日の当たりの都合で待っている間の待合所の日陰が殆どなく暑かったです。

近くにトイレはありましたが、海辺の公衆トイレです。
トイレットペーパーがない場合があります。

Since the time of participation was close to high tide, the depth was nearly 70 centimeters, but I had researched beforehand and was satisfied, so it was not a problem. On the contrary, I would like to visit again during low tide.

Even though it was high tide, we went out to sea, so the area around the sandbar was deep. I was able to take photos where the color of the sea was distinctly different.

The honu also came close to the boat! The bright staff allowed us to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding!

参加日の時間帯は満潮に近かったため、腰　70センチ近くの深さはありましたが、事前に調べて納得した上で参加したので問題ありませんでした。逆に浅瀬の時にまた訪問してみたいと思いました。
満潮といえ、沖に出ていますので、サンドバーの周りは深い海。海の色がくっきり違う写真が撮れました。
ホヌも船の近くまで来てくれました！
明るいスタッフ、シュノーケルとsupなどのアクティビティを楽しむことができました！
