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>

First time on the Big Island 初めてのビッグアイランド

Reviewed by: toru

I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling. When I experienced it on Oahu before, I was able to see a lot.

シュノーケリングで魚等が見ることができなかった。以前オアフ島で体験した時は沢山見ることが出来ました。

ご参加いただきありがとうございます!
私たちは、脆弱なサンゴ礁を保護するために、約25〜30フィートの水深で停泊します。ゲストがボートの近くにいると、残念ながらオープンウォーターでは魚が少なくなります。
安全ブリーフィング中に、クルーはゲストに対して、サンゴや魚が豊富な約10〜15フィートの水深で岸に近づいて泳ぐように指示します。

Thank you for joining us!
We moor in about 25-30 feet of water in order to protect the fragile coral reef. When guests stay near the boat unfortunately the fish are less plentiful in the open water.
During our safety briefing our crew instructs guests to swim closer to shore in about 10-15 feet of water where the coral and fish are plentiful.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Good show but could be better...

Reviewed by: Heidi

The show was good. The host is very entertaining. Food is as usual, nothing spectular. Upon arrival, only adult received drink tickets which the description did not indicate kids and youth don't get ticket for drink. With the price, the kids deserve soda tickets. It will be better if there are more pre-show activities, such as more photo backdrops and more lighting.

My family had a wonderful experience with star cruise. Great food, very accommodating staff, great show and best of all is the sunset. And to top it all, great fireworks to end the night. Just make sure you book on a Friday to see the fireworks.

The family loved it!

Reviewed by: Visiting my Aunt

I took my parents, brother, aunt and cousin. We all loved the special treatment with the package. The food was above expectations. The views were nice. Loved the fireworks on the Friday night cruise. The music and entertainment was amazing. The young lady who served us was a new trainee and did a wonderful job. The only thing that was a little off putting was the manager’s conversation was a little repetitive throughout the dinner.

Dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Wendy

It was a little too crowded for my liking and the show was lackluster. Overall a bit to touristy for my liking. My daughter did not feel good the entire trip. They do offer you ginger candy if you are nauseous.

The food was really good, as were the cocktails and the views were amazing.

I also loved the professional photographer and we did purchase a beautiful family picture.

So overall mixed reviews.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Awesome Show

Reviewed by: Lydia

We had a really great time. From our bus host to the main event. Cousin Tao was our bus host and she made the 45 minute bus ride fly by. She educated us on the culture the tattoos and made us laugh. She talked about pearl harbour, the climate of the island, as well as some of her native language.

We enjoyed the food. The pork was flavorful, chicken was good. Like anyone, I stayed away from what I knew I wouldn't like. Drinks were ok, but we aren't big drinkers to begin with. The main show amazing. Chief was very entertaining. The dancers were authentic. They tell a story and explain each islands culture, while entertaining you. The finale was great with multiple fire knife world champions. I highly recommend this luau! Yeah it's not on the beach, but so what! I learned about the culture, and had great food.
Also at the end of the night we ended up with two drunk strays. Cousin Tao, even though she didn't have to. She could've just said sorry you aren't on the roster and made them get off the bus. She
Called her boss, asked him to come back to bring them back to Waikiki. I thought that was super nice of her. If you want a genuine luau experience go to Chiefs luau.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Had a great time once we arrived

Reviewed by: R Gaspar

Our arranged bus was 20 min late, but part of the blame was a nearby hit and run (so traffic staggered around the police and paramedics). This caused us to miss most of the pre-show. Can't really fault anyone for that - just wished we had experienced it.
They no longer separate parties by table, so no more actual COVID separation (on paper/signs, they ask people to wear masks when away from their tables, but hardly anyone did so and no one enforced it).
Food was great. Buffet style, both sides of 2 rows of tables. Pick what you want, go back as much as you want. Lines were quick.
Performance was awesome. I wasn't aware that they had world champion fire dancers in the troupe. I personally loved the stories and explanations of each dance.

サンセット・ディナークルーズ  スターオブホノルル号 ライブショーと選べるビュッフェまたはコースディナー

I was able to enjoy a luxurious and elegant time. 贅沢で優雅なひとときを過ごせました

Reviewed by: ちゃん

The sunset cruise was larger than I expected. I chose the three-star option, and it was packed with volume. The lobster was particularly large, with a firm texture, and it was very delicious.

Since I added a commemorative option, there were arrangements for photos, cake, and champagne. However, the photos were taken right after boarding the ship, so the background was land. I wish we could have taken some pictures in a nicer location on the water.

The cake was not what I expected; it was a large whole cake, so it felt more like something to take home rather than to eat on the spot. I ended up having to eat it for breakfast over the next couple of days, so it might not have been necessary.

One reason I added the option was to sit by the window, but there were people who sat by the window without the option, so it might not have been necessary after all.

Everyone was dressed very casually, so I think you don't need to worry about a dress code. The cruise had delicious food, and the singing and dancing were really great. At the end, everyone stood up and danced together, which was a lot of fun.

The price is a bit on the high side, but I’m glad I booked it. For those considering it for a honeymoon, you might not need to add the option. I definitely recommend the tour!

サンセットクルーズですが、船は思っていたよりも大きかったです。
3スターにしましたが、ボリューム満点で、なんと言ってもロブスターがとても大きく、プリプリの身でとても美味しかったです。
記念のオプションをつけたので、写真、ケーキ、シャンパンの用意がありましたが、写真は船に乗ってすぐ撮影されたため、背景が陸地でしたので、できればもう少し海上の素敵なロケーションでも撮影してもらえたらなと思いました。
ケーキは、思っていた感じではなく、大きなホールケーキでしたので、その場で食べるというよりは、持って帰る用という感じでした。笑
向こうで食べ切るために、2日ほど朝頑張って食べるという感じになったので、いらなかったかもしれません。笑
オプションをつけたのは窓側がいいからということもありましたが、つけていなくても窓側に座れていた方もいたので、特につけなくてもよかったかもと思います。
服装は、本当にラフな感じで皆さん参加されているので、ドレスコードは気にしなくて大丈夫だと思います。
クルーズは、お料理も美味しく、歌やダンスもとてもよかったです。最後にはみんなで立って一緒にダンスをしたり、大盛り上がりで楽しかったです。
お値段は少し高級ですが、申し込んでよかったと思います。
ハネムーンでご検討されている方でも、オプションは別につけなくてもいいかもです。ツアー自体はおすすめです!

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Awesome experience

Reviewed by: Anirudh

We had a great time in the sunset and stargazing tour. The tour operator Yamauchi-San was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He promptly picked us up at the scheduled time. He was very engaging with the whole group and provided us with donuts and water at the start of the trip. He ensured that the group got gradually acclimated to the altitude by stopping at couple of places on the way. Once we reached the summit he took us to a place that had a very clear view of the setting sun. Then during the stargazing part of the tour he showed us several stars and star clusters through the telescope and binoculars. Also since it was a full moon we also got a good view of the moon and it’s craters through the telescope. Overall we enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to others.

My entire family attend Chief's Luau and it was wonderful from top to bottom. They provided a huge amount of good food and moved people through the line quickly. Chief Sielu was delightfully funny, wise, heartfelt and shared his culture in such a beautiful way. All of the musicians, dancers and fire/knife dancers were absolutely amazing. All the performers showed such a passion and love of their culture. I would highly recommend this luau for anyone wanting to learn more about Polynesian culture.

Only disappointment was the fireworks cancellation. Paying extra for 4th of July fireworks and not getting was a disappointing especially since the cruise doesn’t operate the fireworks.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Good show/food, Odd location

Reviewed by: Megan

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.
