野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>
I suffered from seasickness.
船酔いに苦しみました
Activity Date: 2019/12/23 | Posted on: 2019/12/29

My wife and I participated together. It was a nice day with some waves, but both of us suffered from severe seasickness. While we were snorkeling in the water, it was fine, but once we got back on the boat, the seasickness returned, and we both struggled until we returned to port. That said, the crew's performance and the tour itself were completely fine. The low rating is simply due to our own physical condition. The meeting place was at the beautiful port in Kona, which was also convenient for sightseeing.

妻と二人で参加しました。天気の良い日で波も多少でしたが、自分と妻の両方とも酷い船酔いに苦しみました。シュノーケリングで海の中にいるときは良いのですが船に上がると船酔いが再発して帰港まで二人して苦しみました。とはいえクルーの皆様の働きぶりやツアーそのものは全く問題ないものです。評価が低いのは単純に自分達の体調の問題からの経験です。集合場所は観光にも便利なコナの港でとても綺麗でした。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>
It was a bit disappointing.
少し残念でした。
Activity Date: 2019/12/14 | Posted on: 2019/12/28

The weather was good, but perhaps due to the lack of wind, clouds covered the sky and we couldn't see many stars at the summit. Since the weather is beyond our control, I accepted that. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the guide who suggested we should try again next time. However, at around 1000 meters, we started to see a few stars, so we stopped the car and were able to see the stars again. The guide offered to explain the stars now or to plan for a future visit, allowing everyone to choose.

I felt very humbled, but since we were all meeting for the first time, I thought it would be difficult to choose one option as opinions might differ. There were four groups, and one person from my group said they wanted to proceed with the explanation, but someone from another group suggested we should plan for a future visit, so everyone agreed on the latter. I was fine with the idea of a future visit, but I felt a bit disappointed because I didn't think everyone would be able to return.

Other than that, I thought the attention to detail in the selection of background music and the setup of chairs at the summit was wonderful.

天候は良かったのですが、風があまりなかったせいか雲がかかり山頂で星があまり見えませんでした。天候はどうしようもできないので納得をしています。お心遣い頂き今度リベンジしましょうと言って頂いたのですが、1000mあたりの場所で少し星が見えてきたので、車を停めて頂き改めて星を見せて頂けました。もし良かったら今星の説明をさせて頂くか今度リベンジか皆で選んで下さいとの言葉を頂きました。
非常に恐縮ですが、お互い初めて会った人ばかりで意見は別れる場合もあるのにどちらか選ぶ事は難しいと思います。4グループいて1人の方が今お願いしますと言われましたが違うグループの方がリベンジでと言われたので皆さんリベンジで合わされました。私もリベンジで良かったのですが、皆さんが再訪出来る訳では無いと思いましたので、その点だけ残念に思いました。
その他はBGMの選曲や山頂での椅子のセッティングあらゆる面での説明など事細かな配慮は素晴らしかったと思います。

Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I believe your feedback is very valid. I will inform our guide Yamauchi and we are currently exploring the best possible solutions. We look forward to the day we can meet again for a revenge tour.

Thank you for using VELTRA. We are very sorry that, despite your anticipation, you were unable to fully enjoy the starry sky due to the weather. On that day, due to rain and wind, we were unable to observe as we had hoped, and although we attempted to move to a location where stars could be seen, we received a report from the tour company that only a few stars were visible.

However, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the care and explanations provided by the guide during the tour, as well as the background music.

We will continue to work with the tour company to ensure we provide activities that meet your satisfaction. We hope you will consider using our services again in the future.

この度は楽しみにされていたにも関わらず、天候により星空を満喫できませんでしたこと、弊社としても残念でなりません。
当日は雨と風の影響により思うような観測ができず、星が観測できる場所まで移動を試みましたが、
最終的に星が数個しか見えなかったとのことのこと催行会社より報告を受けております。

しかしながらツアー中のガイドによる心遣いや説明、BGMなどのをお楽しみいただけたとのこと、大変うれしく存じます。

今後も催行会社とともに、常にご満足いただけるアクティビティの提供に努めてまいります。

We participated as a family of four. I have experienced various OP tours at different tourist spots in the past, but I can't think of a tour that surpasses Mr. Yamauchi's guidance. Honestly, I did a bit of research beforehand, but it's easy to see why there are so many repeat customers! Participating during a turning point in life or when feeling lost would surely resonate deeply.

家族4人で参加しました。過去に色々な観光地でOPツアーを経験しましたが山内さんのガイドに優るツアーは思い当たりません。正直、事前に少しリサーチして挑んだのですがリピーターが多いのは頷けます!人生の転換期や彷徨った時などに参加すると心に沁みるでしょうね!

Activity Date: 2019/11/27 | Posted on: 2019/12/23

I participated alone. There were just under 50 people on the bus, and I was the only Japanese person. Since it was close to Thanksgiving, most of the attendees were from the mainland United States or Canada. The guide on the bus enthusiastically encouraged everyone to introduce themselves to those sitting around them, which allowed me to connect with the people in front of me, behind me, and next to me (thanks to this, I became friends with an elderly Canadian couple sitting behind me, and on the way back, I sat next to the husband and we had a lively conversation).

We were able to experience hula, tattooing, and fire-starting, which I think kids would also enjoy. The fire dance was so intense that we could feel the heat even as audience members; it was spectacular and thrilling. The excitement from the audience was incredible, and just being there was fun! There was a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and everyone in the venue celebrated together, creating a wonderful sense of unity. I think it's especially great for those on their honeymoon or celebrating anniversaries to create memorable experiences.

I believe you won't fully enjoy it unless you understand English to some extent, but if you want to fully experience the foreign atmosphere, I definitely recommend it!

1人で参加しました。バス50名弱でしたが、日本人は私1人でした。サンクスギビング近かったのでholidayできているアメリカ本土の方やカナダの方がほとんどでした。バスの中からガイドさんがノリノリで周りの席の人と自己紹介し合いましょうと言われ、前後、隣の方と交流を深められました(お陰で後ろの席のカナダ人老夫婦と仲良くなり帰りのバスはそのご主人と隣に座って会話盛り上がりました)
hulaの体験や、タトゥー体験、火起こし体験もでき、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ファイヤーダンスは客先でも熱風を感じるほどで、迫力満点、素晴らしかったです。観客の盛り上がりもすごくてその場にいるだけで楽しかったです!結婚60周年というご夫婦がいて会場皆でお祝いしてとても一体感がありました。ハネムーンや記念日の方は特に良い思い出作りができると思います。
英語がある程度理解できないと充分楽しめないと思いますが、外国の雰囲気を存分に味わいたいなら是非オススメです!

The price was high, but it was a worthwhile experience. The meeting point at the Marriott Hotel is hard to find, so it's better to ask the Japanese-speaking staff at the front desk. The restroom is shown to you before boarding.

The level of our guide, Yamauchi, was high, and we received the best guidance. It was a memorable tour. It was very cold, but the stars seen from the summit of Haleakalā were a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the explanation of the stars, it felt like something out of Star Wars, with laser beams creating an illusion that the stars were suddenly closer. It was really cool.

Private Road to Hana Tours Maui - Waterfalls, Rainforests & Coastal Scenic Drive with Expert Guide
10/10
Activity Date: 2019/12/18 | Posted on: 2019/12/21

This tour was so fun. We had a really nice driver that talked about the culture and history of Maui, and she even asked my wife and I questions about ourselves. She knew all the best places to stop & take pictures, eat banana bread, and what literally every plant was. She was truly and expert guide. At one point, she stopped at a waterfall for us to look at, and she said we could jump off of it and she'd take a video of us. And we did!! It was SO fun. Wow. I would do this again. Anyone who goes might want to bring a change of clothes/a towel in case you want to go for a swim!

Activity Date: 2019/09/06 | Posted on: 2019/12/20

I was able to smoothly change my reservation from a regular cruise to the vow renewal plan. I took a taxi to the port with plenty of time to spare. If I had arrived earlier, I might have been able to wait in a cooler spot, but it wasn't too hot waiting in the shade. My family coordinated our outfits, which felt a bit embarrassing at first, but once we boarded, everyone was dressed up, so it felt normal after a while. The ship is divided into levels based on the plan you booked, and you attach a sticker from the ticket you receive during check-in to your clothing. Before departure, we enjoyed a hula performance at the port. The boarding process was smooth, and our table was already assigned. The staff member in charge of our table introduced themselves in a friendly manner. The meal was a crab plan, and they brought the dishes to our table in order, starting with the appetizers. We could freely order sparkling wine and juice. We were guided for photo opportunities at our seats, and they took commemorative photos that were delivered to us before disembarking.

Since it was a vow renewal plan, the staff member guided us to a location closer to the ship's owner via the elevator. They were considerate even during the short waiting times. The ceremony was held with the busy captain, and although it was a small ceremony, it was quite lively. They even took photos with my smartphone, resulting in many embarrassing pictures. While some may choose to have their vow renewal in a wedding venue, I feel that choosing this option was a great decision, considering the cost performance.

After the ceremony, when we returned to our seats, there was a mountain of crab on the table. The hula show performed right in front of us in the aisle was breathtaking. On Fridays, you can watch fireworks from the deck. Everyone is there for that, so the deck gets very crowded. It's a good idea to prepare your mobile phone (with Wi-Fi) to avoid getting separated from your group.

Disembarkation was late, and the bus stop operated by the travel agency was far away, so I definitely recommend taking a taxi. Walking downtown by mistake is good for sobering up, but...

It became a wonderful memory.

普通のクルーズから、バウリニューアルプランへの申し込み変更もスムーズにできました。
時間に余裕をもってタクシーで港へ。もっと早ければ涼しい場所で待機できたかもしれませんが、日陰で待機でもそんなに暑くありません。家族で衣装をそろえて、少し照れくさい感じでしたが、乗船すると皆さんドレッシーなので途中からは違和感なしでした。船は、申し込んだプランごとに階層が分かれており、乗船手続きの時にもらえるチケットのシールを衣服に貼り付けます。出向前に港でフラ。乗船の案内もスムーズで、船内のテーブルは決まっています。テーブル担当の方が気さくに自己紹介。食事はカニのプランでしたが、前菜から順にテーブルに持ってきてくれます。発泡ワインやジュースを自由に頼めます。席での写真撮影を案内され、記念写真を撮影してもらえ、それは下船前に届けてくます。
バウリニューアルプランなので、ご案内の担当の方と一緒にエレベーターで船主に近い場所へ。ちょっとした待ち時間も案内係の方が気遣ってくれます。忙しいキャプテンとともにセレモニー。こぢんまりとしたセレモニーですが、十分盛り上がります。こちらのスマホで写真撮影もしてくださり、恥ずかしい写真がたくさんできあがりました。結婚式場みたいなところでバウリニューアルをなさる方もあるかと思いますが、コストパフォーマンスも含めて、これを選んでよかったと感じています。
セレモニーが終わって、席に戻るとテーブルにカニがテンコ盛り。席の通路、すぐ間近で次々と披露されるフラショーは圧巻です。金曜日は甲板で花火を見ることができます。みんなそれ目当てなので甲板はとても混雑します。仲間とはぐれないように携帯電話(Wi-Fi)がつながるように準備しておくといいです。
下船は遅い時間となり、旅行会社運営のバスの停留所までは遠いので、絶対タクシー利用をお勧めします。間違ってダウンタウンを歩くのは酔い覚ましにはいいですが。。。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Royal Package - Definitely worth the extra money
Posted on: 2019/12/16

My boyfriend and I went to Chiefs Luau and it was such a fun night. We are so happy we chose the Royal Package because we were in the very first row, got 3 complimentary drinks, and were first in line for the buffet. The food was really good, my favorite was the kalua pork and poi. The "chief" was hilarious and very talented. This show had performances/dances of cultures from all over Polynesia so it was really cool to see all of their differences. It was very engaging and family-oriented, the fire-knife performance was my favorite. One thing to note is to bring bug-spray! There were mosquitoes since the luau is located at a waterpark. I would highly recommend Chief's luau to anyone!

Activity Date: 2019/10/29 | Posted on: 2019/12/11

It was my first time in Maui. I remember feeling very relieved to have a Japanese tour in Maui, where Japanese is hardly spoken. I heard many stories related to Maui. The sunset was truly beautiful, and I was amazed by the countless shining stars. They explained each one through a telescope, and I was able to confirm them. It was very cold, but they lent us warm clothing, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to show this to my family. On the way back, everyone was exhausted and sleeping.

初マウイでした。日本語がほとんど通じないマウイで日本語のツアー。とてもホッとしたのを覚えてます。マウイにまつわる話をたくさん聞かせていただきました。夕陽がほんとにきれいでした。そして、輝くたくさんの星に感激しました。望遠鏡で1つずつ説明してくださり、確認しました。とても、寒かったですが防寒着も貸してくださり安心でした。家族にもぜひ、見せてやりたいです。帰りは疲れきって、みんなが寝ていました。

I was impressed by Yamapi's high level of hospitality.
ヤマピーさんのホスピタリティの高さに感動しました。
Activity Date: 2019/12/09 | Posted on: 2019/12/11

It's been mentioned many times, but I think those who are reading this and are inexperienced might not fully grasp it, so I’ll write it down even if it overlaps with other reviews.
"You should participate in this tour while it's available."
"There are only three companies that can conduct stargazing tours: American, Korean, and this Yamapi."
"The entry restrictions for the tour are strict, so you should apply immediately as there's no guarantee you can participate."
First of all, Yamapi mentioned that they might only be able to continue for a few more years, so this wonderful experience is something you can only have now. Among the three companies with operating permits, you can only choose between the American company, which has just started a few years ago, or Yamapi's tour, excluding the rather careless Korean company. However, reaching the summit at 3055m (even by car) is more challenging than you might imagine. There is no more comfortable tour than Yamapi's, which has over 3000 successful runs and exceptional hospitality.
Also, even though it's a tour company, there are limits on the number of people they can take, so booking early is wise.
As for the tour content, it’s not just about being driven to the summit to casually watch the sunset and stars. Along the way, they explain about the towns of Lahaina and Kahului as you ascend the mountain. To avoid altitude sickness, they stop at a donut shop and make multiple restroom breaks, showing great attention to detail. Everyone buys a bento, and for some reason, the timing for the sunset is perfect, which is truly moving. You can also see the green flash, and Yamapi takes photos of each group. It's recommended to bring a digital camera rather than just a smartphone. Enjoy waiting for the night while eating your bento and stargazing. It’s not just about looking up at the night sky. The stargazing experience with two professional telescopes and explanations exceeds all expectations. It’s something you absolutely must see and hear. On the way back, they safely navigate the dark, steep roads.
As I write this, I feel like I’m not conveying the greatness of this tour at all. Please participate, see, hear, and be impressed and moved. Your reason for coming to Maui will be significantly enhanced!

何度も書かれていることですが、おそらくこれを読んでいる未経験者の方々にはピンと来ていないだろうと思いますので、他のレビューと重複するかもしれませんが書いておきます。
『このツアーがあるうちに参加しておくべき』
『星空ツアーが催行できる会社は米国系・韓国系とこのヤマピーさんの三社のみ』
『ツアーの入山規制が厳しくて、必ず参加できるとは限らないからすぐに申し込むべき』
まず、ヤマピーさんもあと数年しか続けられないと話されていますので、この素晴らしい体験が出来るのも今しかないってことです。催行許可を持っている三社の中で、最もいい加減な韓国系は除いて、まだ始めて数年の米国系 or ヤマピーさんのツアーどちらかに参加するしかありませんが、3055mへの登頂は(車で行くとはいえ)想像以上に厳しいのが事実。催行回数3000回を超えるヤマピーさんの経験とホスピタリティに勝る快適なツアーはありません。
また、ツアー会社といえど入山させることが出来る人数には制約上限りがありますので、早め早めの予約が吉です。
肝心のツアー内容ですが、単に車で山頂まで連れて行ってくれてサンセットと星空をぶらぶらと眺めて帰ってくるわけではありません。道中、ラハイナやカフルイの町を解説しながら山の中腹へ。高山病を避けるためにドーナツショップへ立ち寄り、トイレに複数回立ち寄る細やかな気配り。お弁当をみんなで買って、何故かタイミングバッチリのサンセットに感動。グリーンフラッシュも見られますし、ヤマピーさんが一組ずつ写真撮影してくれます。スマホよりはデジカメを持参することがおすすめ。お弁当を食べながら楽しく闇夜を待って、星空鑑賞。ただ夜空を見上げるだけじゃありません。プロ用の望遠鏡を2台使っての解説付き星空鑑賞は期待も想像も軽く超えてきます。絶対見るべき、聞くべきです。帰り道も真っ暗な急な坂道を安全運転でしっかり届けて回ってくれます。
書きながら思いましたが、まったく伝わらない気がしますね、このツアーの素晴らしさが。ほんと参加して、見て、聞いて、感心して感動してみて下さい。マウイ島へ来た意味が格段にアップします!

The sunset sinking into the sea of clouds and the endlessly shining stars.
雲海に沈む夕日と果てしなく輝く星々
Activity Date: 2019/09/20 | Posted on: 2019/12/05

The weather on the day was not good from the morning, but by the evening, the sun began to peek through the clouds at the summit. The massive crater towards the Big Island was shrouded in gas, so we couldn't see it in its entirety, but in the opposite direction, the orange sunset slowly spread over the sea of clouds far below, briefly glowing green before disappearing. The people watching it appeared like silhouettes against the orange screen. Once it was completely enveloped in twilight, we descended a little from the summit and were treated to a starry sky. The stars shone overwhelmingly, covering the night sky, and the Milky Way flowed across the vast sky like a silver river. After nodding in agreement with my partner, we looked through two telescopes at the Large Magellanic Cloud, Jupiter, and Saturn surrounded by its elongated rings. It was truly an extraordinary experience. Thank you to our driver who explained various things along the way, including Haleakalā and Maui.

当日の天候が朝から良くなかったのですが夕方近くから日差しが見えてきて頂上では雲の隙間から太陽がのぞいてきました。ハワイ島方向の巨大クレーターは、ガスがかかって全体を見ることはできませんでしたが、その反対方向にはオレンジの夕日が足元から広がる雲海の遥か先にゆっくりと、最後に一瞬緑に光って消えていきます。それを見守る人々はオレンジのスクリーンに映る影絵の様相。すっかり夕闇に包まれたころ頂上から少し降りたところで星空を見せてくれました。圧倒的に夜空を覆い尽くして輝く星々、大空を大河のように横切って流れる銀河はまさに銀の河、天の川。「こんなの子どもの頃に見たきりだ」と相方とうなづきあった後、二台の望遠鏡で見せてくれた大マゼラン星雲、木星や縦長の輪に囲まれた土星。
まさに非日常な出来事、体験でした。ハレヤカラやマウイなど様々な事を道中説明してくれたドライバーさん、ありがとうございました。

Step Inside McGarrett’s House on Oahu - Exclusive Access Hawaii Five-0 Tour & Meet Cousin Flippa
Great Fun
Activity Date: 2019/10/02 | Posted on: 2019/12/04

Was great fun and more than we expected. Our guide was informative about so much more than just the Five-0 show. It was a great introduction to Hawaii and I have recommended the tour to other family members and friends. We were even lucky enough to see some filming on location.

Star of Honolulu Vow Renewal & Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment
Fantastic vow renewal experience!
Activity Date: 2019/09/10 | Posted on: 2019/12/03

Highly recommend the Vow Renewal package! The experience was wonderful from start to finish. The ship is beautiful and staff was so welcoming. We were escorted to our table in the elegant dinning room. Our table was by the window, but every seat has a great view. The package includes cocktails and there are many to choose from. Food was excellent and the presentation was lovely. Service was outstanding! And the vow renewal by the Captain was really, really meaningful. He did a great job and we loved him. They even took photos for us with our phone. (Note: We unfortunately left without taking care of a tip for the Captain and photographer....they really deserved a tip so we are mailing it in.) It was a bit windy so the water got a little choppy. If motion sickness is an issue for you, suggest taking a non-drowsy or ginger-based motion sickness pill before you board. Also, parking was very easy in the gated lot - which is across the street from the Old Spaghetti Factory. We arrived almost an hour early for the cruise, there was plenty of space in the lot, and we had a drink at the Old Spaghetti Factory (a 30 second walk to the ship). Definitely a deluxe experience!

野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリングツアー <朝食・昼食付き>
I'm suffering from seasickness.
船酔いが大変
Activity Date: 2019/11/29 | Posted on: 2019/12/03
h.i

A one-hour cruise to the snorkeling point. If you get seasick, be sure to take precautions! The food, location, and the crew's coolness were all top-notch! We even got to meet dolphins at the end! If you're going snorkeling, I think it's better to go to beaches like Honaunau or Kahalu'u.

シュノーケリングポイントまで1時間のクルージング。船酔いする方は必ず対策を!
食事、ロケーション、クルーのカッコ良さは最高!
最後にイルカとも会えた!
シュノーケリングだったら、ホナウナウ、カハルウ等のビーチに行った方が良いと思う。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show
A good time memorable adventure
Activity Date: 2019/09/07 | Posted on: 2019/12/03

It was a great sunset (as almost all are in Hawaii) meeting some new friends and having some fun with a lively crew. Would recommend for family entertainment as well as enjoyable for 'just the two' of you. It was great to have the pre-boarding show and get to meet some of the crew/cast. The food was good and the crew took very good care of of all.

Waikiki Turtle Snorkel & Honolulu Underwater Scooter Tour - Trident Adventures
Highly recommended
Activity Date: 2019/11/23 | Posted on: 2019/11/28

This is a great, fun tour for groups and solo travelers alike. The staff is super friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure your experience is top notch. The diver propulsion vehicles are an extra bonus that no other tour operator offers that set apart Trident Adventures from others. Will definitely do again upon my next visit to Oahu.

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>
Amazing!!! I'm so moved!!!!
最高!!!!! 感激!!!!
Activity Date: 2019/10/14 | Posted on: 2019/11/28

I signed up with my 84-year-old mother. Although she is healthy, I was worried about whether she would be okay reaching the summit, but our guide, Yama-chan, welcomed us warmly without any signs of discomfort.

Yama-chan's thoughtfulness, the enjoyable conversations on the way to the summit, and the clear and detailed explanations during the sunset viewing and stargazing provided us not only with the beauty of the stars but also with opportunities to reflect on various aspects of life through nature.

This tour requires a permit, and it seems that only 11 people can participate in one vehicle. The other participants were also wonderful people, and we all took turns using the two telescopes without any fuss, marveling at the stars multiple times.

I would love to experience stargazing with Yama-chan again while enjoying our conversations!!!

84歳の母と申し込みました。元気な母ですが山頂まで大丈夫か心配していましたが、ガイドの山ちゃんは全くいやな顔をしないでとても歓迎してくれました。
とにかく山ちゃんの心配り、山頂へ向かう道中までの楽しい話、夕日観賞・星空観にはわかりやすく丁寧な説明、そして星の美しさだけでなく自然を通していろいろ人生を考える機会を与えてくれました。
このツアーには認可が必要で車1台に乗れる11人しか参加することが出来ないそうです。
参加された方もすごくいい人たちで二台の天体望遠鏡も取り合うことなくみんなで順番に感激しながら何度も観ました。
またぜひ山ちゃんと楽しくお話をしながらきれいな星を観てみたい!!!

I hope you are doing well. Your mother is very energetic, and I have gained strength from her as well. Please come to Maui again; I look forward to our reunion.

その後もお元気でしょうか?とってもお元気なお母さまで自分も力を頂きました。また是非マウイに遊びに来て下さいね、再会を楽しみにしています。

Get on the boat.

The waves were really strong, and I got seasick. It's a shame I couldn't swim with the dolphins even though I encountered them. It was great that I could get on the boat with a wheelchair. I wasn't sure where the barbecue lunch was held.

波が凄く酔ってしまいました
イルカと遭遇できたのに一緒に泳げなかったのが残念でした。車椅子でも船に乗る事が出来たのは良かったです。バーベキューランチは何処で行って頂けていたのか?分かりませんでした。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー<ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内>
A luau that creates a sense of unity with the guests!!
お客さんと一体感のあるルアウ!!
Posted on: 2019/11/22

It’s an experiential luau that families with small children and couples can all enjoy, and my family had a fantastic time! Before the show started, there were activities like fire-starting and making headbands using banana leaves, which kept the audience engaged. They celebrated guests who were there for special occasions on stage, danced with the audience, and above all, the chief's stories were very entertaining, making us laugh from the bottom of our stomachs multiple times! The food and Mai Tai cocktails were also very delicious.

The final fire knife dance was impressive! My 2-year-old son watched intently without blinking!

Definitely experience Chief's Luau! The chief and the crew will surely entertain you!!!

小さいお子様連れの家族、カップル、全ての方が楽しめる体験型ルアウで、私達家族もめいいっぱい楽しませていただきました!ショーが始まる前に火起こしやバナナリーフを使用したヘッドバンド作り体験等があり、観客を飽きさせないような構成になっています。記念日で来ている観客をステージでお祝いしたり、観客とのダンス、また、何よりもチーフの話がとても面白く、途中何度もお腹の底から笑わせていただきました!食事やマイタイカクテルもとても美味しかったです。

最後のファイヤーナイフダンスは見応えありです!私の2歳になる息子も瞬きせずにしっかりと観ていました!

チーフスルアウ、是非、体験して下さい!チーフとクルーがきっと楽しませてくれます!!!

This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!!

Satisfied with the whale.
鯨に満足
Activity Date: 2019/01/30 | Posted on: 2019/11/20

It was a very peaceful tour, and I think there’s a chance to encounter whales, but I was satisfied to see them clearly! The food was also very delicious. If I had to say something, I wish I had known in advance how far we would be from the whales, as it felt a bit too far.

とても穏やかなツアーで鯨に出会える確率もあるとは思いますが、しっかりと鯨を見させて頂けて満足!料理もとても美味しくて良かった
しいて言うなら、鯨に近づける距離は事前に解っていたらなーって ちょいと遠過ぎる気がした

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
The best, best time!
Posted on: 2019/11/18

This is my third Luau that I have been to so far and this one is by far my favorite! The crew is so nice and attentive and I loved how Chief Sielu is so family oriented. He made several points to bring guests on stage and include them in the show and they even had a special moment for two children through the Make A Wish Foundation that were there which was so sweet!
You are entertained all night long whether it's by the dancing, the Chief's jokes or the amazing fire dancers. I would also highly recommend the Royal package, we had great seats up front and were one of the first in line for the buffet.
