Hawaii
I'd like to sorry upfront for my candid feedbacks.
My main objective is to watch the whale; however, there was no whale to watch. The captain tried to raise the expectation of tour participants with somehow false alert such as "01 mile away from whales"... but at the end, no one could sense any whale signals. Even though, the Cruise offered other time to watch the whale, for foreign travellers like me, this is not a genuine gesture - it will be difficult for us to spend another trip to Hawaii for another Whale Watch Cruise. Thus, I suggest it should say that "the Cruise will go around Honolulu in an attempt to find whale, but chance to see whale depends on different factors. If you cannot see whale, take it easy and enjoy the sightseeing..." or something like that.
Lunch will be another area for improvement as the listed dishes are far away from similar one in other normal restaurants.
Other than the above, the trip can be a nice memory when participants can enjoy the beautiful landscape of Honolulu from the Ocean.
My first luau and it was such fun great food and entertainment I learnt how to do the hula and even got up on stage the chief is so funny too
This year, at my father's request after he experienced illness and surgery, we went on a trip to Hawaii. Since my parents usually don't express gratitude to each other, I surprised them by booking this option.
The captain's ceremony was entirely in English, so I did my best to translate the important points with my limited English skills, and they seemed to understand somewhat. Afterward, I was worried when my father fell silent, but suddenly he started to cry and expressed his gratitude.
The food was even better than expected, and the show was plentiful, keeping us entertained beyond the scheduled time. There was even a show at the end that brought everyone on the ship together, and I was more satisfied than I had imagined.
Thank you very much. Now that I am back home, I would like to give my parents a letter with the captain's vow along with photos from the vow renewal ceremony. I would be even happier if you could provide that information.
今年病気と手術を経験した父の希望もあり、ハワイ旅行へ行きました。
普段はなかなか感謝を伝え合わない両親なので、サプライズでこのオプションを申込みました。
キャプテンのセレモニーは全文英語のため、私の拙すぎる英語力で大事なポイントはなんとか和訳して伝え、何となく理解はしてくれました。その後、父は黙りこんでしまったため不安でしたが、突然涙を流して感謝してくれました。
お料理も予想以上においしく、ショーもたっぷり、時間を越えてまで楽しませてくれました。
最後は船内が一体となるようなショーもあり、想像以上に満足でした。
ありがとうございました。
帰国した今、改めてバウリニューアル時の写真と共に、キャプテンの誓いの言葉を両親に手紙で渡したいのですが、お教えいただくことができれば、なお嬉しいです。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are also very pleased to hear that your father enjoyed it. You have a wonderful family, and reading your comments warmed our hearts.
The captain's oath will be in English, but if that works for you, I can send it via email. Please send your email address to Info@StarofHonolulu.com, addressed to Noriko.
All of us on the staff look forward to your next visit.

I'm afraid the whales were very shy during our particular trip. We did see two on 4/5 occasions but only briefly from a distance. In these circumstances I think it's best to look upon the trip as a pleasure cruise because we were treated to great views of the Western side of Big Island. The crew deserve a mention...always polite and courteous...they looked after everyone with complimentary soft drinks.
I finally summited Haleakalā, a mountain I had visited Maui several times without ever climbing. Since I had a rental car, I considered going on my own, but since it was my first time there, I decided to join a tour, and I truly felt it was a highly satisfying experience.
They picked us up at the hotel and took their time climbing. I was a bit worried about climbing a mountain over 3000 meters, but I had no issues with my health and was able to reach the summit comfortably.
The view from the summit was beyond words. It happened to be a full moon that day, so the moonlight was too bright to see many stars (though it was still incomparable to the usual night sky), I was moved by the incredibly bright and beautiful moon that I had never seen before.
The guide, Yamapi, was truly wonderful. I am grateful for the opportunity to be reminded of the amazing nature that Maui has to offer. I definitely want to participate again when I go back to Maui.
As mentioned in the tour information, it gets very cold at the summit at night, so I recommend bringing extra warm clothing. However, the awe-inspiring experience that awaits you is worth braving the cold, making this tour highly recommended.
これまで何度もマウイを訪れていたのに一度も登ったことのなかったハレアカラに初めて登頂。レンタカーをしていたので自力で行くことも検討しましたが、初めての場所なのでツアーに参加することにしたのですが、本当に満足度の高いツアーで参加してよかったと感じています。
ホテルまでピックアップに来てくださり、時間をかけて登っていきます。3000m超の山を登るということで多少心配もありましたが、体調にまったく問題なく気持ちよく山頂に着くことができました。
山頂で見られる景色の素晴らしさは言葉で表現できないほどのものでした。当日ちょうど満月だったこともあり、月の光が明るすぎて星はあまり見られなかったのですが(とはいえ普段見ている星空とは比較にならないものです)これまで見たことのないほど明るく美しい月に遭遇して感動しました。
やまぴーさんのガイドは本当に素晴らしいです。マウイにこれほどの素晴らしい自然があることを再認識させていただき感謝しています。またマウイに行く際には必ず参加したいと思います。
ツアー情報に記載もありますが、夜の山頂はとにかく寒いですので防寒着は多めに持っていったほうがよいかと思います。ただその寒さを凌ぐほどの感動がそこに待っていますのでオススメのツアーです。
Thank you for participating in the tour! Haleakalā has many attractions up to the summit, including restrooms, water refill stations, and the less crowded 2,700-meter crater point, so it might be easier to join the tour at first. Since down jackets and gloves are hard to find in Hawaii, please make sure to dress warmly! I look forward to our next meeting!
星ツァー参加有難うございました!山頂までハレアカラは沢山の見所があって、トイレも水の給油所、人が少ない2700メートルのクレーターポイントなどがあるので最初はツァー参加していただくと楽かもしれませんね。ダウンジャケット、手袋などはなかなかハワイでは手に入らないので防寒はしてきてくださいね!
次の再会を楽しみにしています!
The Five Star Cruise was a wonderful way to watch the Friday fireworks. The staff were great and the food was superb. It was well worth opting for the 5 star option. A must when you are on holiday, especially on the extended Friday cruise.
We are both very experienced travellers who have attended many many tours all over the world, but in my opinion, this tour was the best! Both Amy and Zook were tremendious tour guides who really knew their stuff. It was great having the jeep as it was only my partner and I on the tour. We visited iconic filming locations all over the island. Then we met 'Duke' who was the most genuine person I have probably ever met. It was an honor to meet him and a real highlight of the tour. Then... Amy took us to where they were filming that day!!! What an experience! We got to stand and watch them film for nearly 45 mins! Amy went above and beyond to give us the best Hawaii Five O experience and overall the tour was just amazing!! Cant wait to come back again and go on the Super Fan tour!
Great time! A must do if you visit Hawaii. Chief Cielu is hilarious and the dancers are amazing!
This tour was absolutely fantastic. My wife and I are die-hard Hawaii 5-0 fans and had so much fun on this tour. Our tour guide Amy was extremely knowledgeable of the island and the show itself. One of the main checkpoints that we wanted to see was McGarrett's house and right off the bat she got us over there to see the picture perfect house that is so often shown on TV. In addition to that we got to tour the inside of the house and meet the wonderful owners who allowed us in and were extremely welcoming.
Among the other highlights of the tour that we enjoyed were seeing Kona and Chin Ho's house, and multiple scene locations from across the first couple seasons. Although we were unable to meet any of the characters Amy tried her hardest to get us to them and the extra effort was greatly appreciated.
Besides the locations that we saw, Amy's knowledge of the show itself gave us further insight to the characters and how the show operates on a day to day basis.
We would recommend this tour to anyone who loves the show and wants to get a better understanding of how the show and the island are connected.
This tour is a must if you are a true Hawaii Five-O fan! Our tour guide Amy was amazing to say the least. She had 1st hand information on the production and actors and actresses along with film locations. I think that's what made the tour so special that we had a guide who knew so much about the show...not just a person who researched the show online or watched it on tv and can drive you around to various locations but someone who can tell you about the show as someone who interacts with the people on the show and the producers. She was just so sweet with my niece who is 8 years old, my sister who is 22, and my husband. Before taking the tour I did some research to see where we might go and #1 on my list was Steve McGarrett's house. Who doesn't love seeing it come up in the show with the beach in front and who doesn't want to sit in those Adirondack type chairs and just sip a glass of wine after a hard day at work. Well...we went to McGarrett's house and met the real home owners who were just the sweetest people in the world. They welcomed us in and treated us just like we were family. In fact they even said "a hui hou" as we left..until we meet again. At each site we watched a film clip of a scene at that location to remind us of what happened there if we didn't immediately realize it. We also saw Chin Ho Kelly's house and Kono's house. Along with that was a drive by of Dano's ex-wife and daughters house...which is currently up for rent. Any takers? We visited McGarrett's father's cemetery site where he met Ellie recently. Of course I had to mention how much I love Michelle Borth and want her and McGarrett to end up together. She's just so kick butt but loving at the same time. We are already planning another trip out in September and can't wait to do the Sunset on the Beach!! Definitely take this tour as a fan. It will not disappoint. PS next time I want McGarrett to drive our Jeep! :)
My wife and I came to the luau with our 4 children ages 18, 16, 14, and 8. We all enjoyed the activities before the meal. The food was great and lots of it. And the entertainment was informative, interesting, and very lively. If you have never done it, I recommend doing it at least once. I would go back for the food alone!
I had been many dinner cruises in Chicago, Portland and New Orleans, But this was the best one !!! so far.
First time & confused couples must try this !!
Had a great day especially enjoyed the visit to Steve Mcgarrett's house thanks again to the owners for their hospitality.
This was our first luau and we weren't disappointed.
The food was so-so.... but the entertainment was first class.
The chief was funny and the dancers were excellent
Thank you for the other day. The vow renewal created wonderful memories. Since I participated in a dress, I was celebrated by everyone, danced, and it truly was a fantastic day. The service on the ship was attentive, and the food was delicious. I thought I would visit again for another anniversary.
先日はありがとうございました。
バウリニューアルでは 素敵な思い出になりました。ドレスで参加させて頂いたので みなさんに祝福され ダンスをしたり ほんとに素敵な1日でした。船の中のサービスも行き届いており お料理も美味しかったです。
記念日の区切りの時には再度訪れようと思いました。

The show was very good. The meal was OK, with the crab legs being excellent, while the steak left something to be desired. The dance afterwards was a genuine "hoot"!!!
Saw lots of beautiful fish! Great crew! Not quite as much fun as scuba, but SOOO much easier than getting wet! Everyone should see the underwater part of Hawaii!
I visited Hawaii from Japan for my wedding party.
We planned to have a bachelor and bachelorette party before the wedding and booked Private Limo with VELTRA for ride to club.
Everyone was so excited when Hummer Limo arrived at Hotel to pick us up. We requested to drive around Waikiki downtown and we started to party inside the car.Driver was very nice and polite. He easily responded our request (drop off/pick up some friends during drive)and we totally enjoyed limo riding with party songs and drinks.
It was nice that we could bring in our own drinks, snacks and music. We ended up clubbing after limo ride and everything was smooth and perfect. We had a blast.I really recommend to ride a Hummer Limo if you really want to make a great memories!
We went on a trip to Hawaii with my parents, wife, and daughter, a total of six people. There were many unclear parts due to everything being in English, but we were very satisfied with the dance performance.
両親、妻、娘、計6人でのハワイ旅行、すべて英語での対応で意味不明なところはたくさんありましたが、ダンスパフォーマンスに大満足でした。
A few years ago, I participated in a tour with another company and it rained, so I joined this time for a revenge tour, but it rained again. I was added to the list for a free next time, and I thought the response was good compared to the previous tour with the other company. I planned to try again the next day, but I received a call just before noon that day saying there was about a 50% chance of rain, so I decided to save the revenge for my next trip. As a result, I was able to enjoy a nice dinner in Lahaina while watching a beautiful sunset. Thanks to the follow-up communication, I was able to spend a meaningful time. In the future, I think it would be good if you could inform us of the rain forecast based on the latest local weather when participating in the tour, so we can be mentally prepared. It seems that Maui's climate has also been unstable in recent years, so I plan to try again during the high probability of sunny weather from May to August.
数年前、他社のツアーに参加して雨だったのでリベンジでの参加でしたがまた雨になってしまいました。次回無料のリストにのせてもらい、前回の他社のツアーに比較して、良い対応と思いました。翌日にリベンジする予定でしたが、当日昼前に連絡があり、また雨の可能性が半分くらいあるということでしたので、リベンジは次回の旅行で期すこととしました。そのためその日はラハイナで夕食をとりながら綺麗な夕日を見ることができました。フォローの連絡のおかげで有意義な時間を過ごせました。今後はツアー参加時に、雨の見込みを直近の現地天気からお知らせいただければ心の準備ができ良いと思います。近年マウイの気候も安定していないようなので、次回は晴れの確率の高い5-8月にリベンジしようと思います。
Please feel free to visit Haleakalā again anytime. If the weather forecast indicates conditions that are definitely not suitable, we will cancel the tour. Since this is your valuable time, we will not force anyone to go if it's not possible. From December to March, Maui enters the rainy season, so summer is recommended, but rest assured, there is the Maui All-Stars Revenge system!
いつでもまたハレアカラにいらっしゃってくださいね。天気予報で間違いなく見れないような場合はツァーは中止に致します。
皆さんのの大切な時間ですから、キャンセルが効かないので、無理にいかなねければは致しません。
12月から3月まではマウイも雨季に入りますので、夏場がお勧めなのですが、マウイIオールスターズリベンジ制度がありますから安心してくださいね!
I chose this tour because the sunset is more beautifully crimson than the sunrise, and it was simply easier to participate at that time of day.
On the day of the tour, I was worried that it might be canceled due to the effects of the hurricane, as the view of Haleakalā from the hotel was covered in clouds. However, my concerns were unfounded. As we began to ascend the mountain by car, the clouds became a thing of the past around 2000 meters, and above that, we were greeted with a clear blue sky.
By the time we welcomed the bright red sunset, the temperature dropped significantly, and I put on the down coat provided by the tour to enjoy the breathtaking view.
At this point, the other tour guests had disappeared, leaving just us at the summit. The second part of the tour was about to begin. Our guide, Mr. Yamauchi, had advised us not to look at the sky, and I understood why. The night sky was filled with stars, the Milky Way, and shooting stars welcoming us. We observed the Andromeda Galaxy, red stars, binary stars, and more through a high-resolution telescope. Mr. Yamauchi's clear explanations sparked a sense of curiosity in me that I hadn't felt since childhood.
I climbed Haleakalā during the day 15 years ago, but I was introduced to a completely different Haleakalā by Mr. Yamauchi, and I was very satisfied.
朝日よりも夕日の方が茜色がきれいということ、そして単に時間帯が参加しやすかったことからこのツアーを選びました。
当日はハリケーンの影響で、ホテルからハレアカラ山を望むと雲で覆われ、ツアーが中止になるのではないかと心配しましたが危惧に終わりました。車で山を登り始めると、2000mを超えるあたりから雲は下界のものとなり、それ以高では碧空に変わりました。
やがて真っ赤な夕日を迎える頃になると、気温も一段と下がりツアーで準備してくれたダウンのコートを着込んで、絶景を楽しみました。
この頃になると、他のツアー客はいなくなり山頂には我々だけが取り残されました。
いよいよツアー第2部の始まりです。
ガイドの山内さんには空を見ないように注意されていましたが、その意味が判りました。
夜空には満天の星と天の川、そして流れ星が我々を迎えてくれています。高解像度の望遠鏡でアンドロメダ星雲や赤星、連星などなどを観測。山内さんの判りやすい説明もあり、子供の頃の好奇心がこの年になって芽生えました。
15年も前に昼のハレアカラ山に登りましたが、その時とは全く違うハレアカラ山をガイドの山内さんに紹介して頂き、大満足でした。
Thank you for your hard work over a long time! Even if it's raining below, it's often clear above the clouds, and it's reassuring that if you can't see the stars with Maui All Stars, you can try again as many times as needed. The sunsets and starry skies are different every day, so you can enjoy them no matter how many years it's been! Please come back to Haleakalā again!
長い時間お疲れさまでした!下が雨でも雲の上は快晴のことが多いのと、マウイオールスターズは星が見れなかった場合、
何回でも見れるまでリベンジが効きますの安心です。毎日夕焼けも星空も違って来るので何年振りでも楽しめます!
また是非ハレアカラにいらっしゃって下さいね!
This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.
We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!
Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.
1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)
2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!
3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)
At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.
Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.
Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)
今回はハワイ島に夫婦で6日間の滞在でした。
VELTRAさんの「高級バン(メルセデス・ベンツ)で行く!世界遺産キラウエアとマウナケア山麓星空観測(1日で火山と星 ♪)デラックスツアーby カイラニ・ツアーズ・ハワイ」しかツアーは申し込んでいなかったので、ハワイの雰囲気を堪能するためにこのプランも申し込みました。
参加して大正解でした!
口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。
1.まずはクーポンの受付
写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
集合場所を教えてくれます。(この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。)
この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
(ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。)
2.集合場所や目印
これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
専用受付の人は17時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意!
約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、20分ぐらいしたら行列
になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ!
3.内容
行列に並んだあと、無料レイ(有料例は購入しませんでした)を受けもらって撮影後
(会場で売りに来ます)、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
してもらいます。
私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。(日本語で他人
と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです)
会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。
1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。
ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。(お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ!)
Thank you for coming to the Island Breeze Luau Show.
And above all, we are filled with gratitude for your warm message.
We appreciate the love we receive from everyone and the opportunity to work in the Hawaiian breeze.
Our hotel staff and dancers always strive to ensure that everyone enjoys their experience, but due to the influence of returning guests and reviews, we have noticed that many guests line up very early before the reception starts. Therefore, this year we have changed the lineup location from the beachside to the cooler hotel interior.
Receiving comments like yours and such thoughtful explanations inspires us to think of better improvements and motivates us to ensure everyone has a great time.
If you have the opportunity to visit the Big Island again, please stop by. We will always be waiting to deliver warm breezes and aloha.
この度はアイランドブリーズルアウショーにお越しくださりありがとうこざいました。
そして何よりも心温まるメッセージを投稿して頂き、

どのお席でも楽しんで頂けるよう
ホテルスタッフも、ダンサーも常に心がけておりますが
毎年楽しみに来てくださる方、また口コミもご覧になっていただいてる影響で
受付開始のお時間よりとても早くお並び頂いていることもあり
昨年まではビーチサイドでお並び頂いていたのを今年から涼しいホテル内に
変更させていただきました。
頂くコメントやこのようにご丁寧なご説明を頂けると、
より良い改善策を考え、楽しんで頂けるよう
私たちもまた努めるきっかけとなっております。
またハワイ島にお越しになる機会がございましたら、是非お立寄りくださいませ。
温かい風とalohaをお届けできるよういつまでもお待ちしております。
Excellent service I have no hesitation in recommending Veltra. Courtesy, helpful beautifully presented drivers, clean and roomy cars. Very reasonably priced.
Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.
I went to Maui for my honeymoon and, following my wife's recommendation, participated in the Haleakalā Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour. There were eight participants that day, and I was the only man! I thought I might feel out of place on this tour. However, thanks to the storytelling of our guide, Yama P, the drive to the summit was enjoyable, and afterward, we experienced the best sunset and stargazing from the top of Haleakalā! I had an incredibly happy time. I'm grateful to my wife for inviting me and to Yama P for providing such a wonderful experience.
私は新婚旅行でマウイ島に行き、妻に薦められるがままにハレアカラ山頂サンセット&星空観測ツアーに参加しました。その日の参加者は8名、私以外は全員女性!何となく場違いなツアーに参加してしまったのかな、と思っていました。しかし、ツアーガイドの山Pさんの話術で山頂まで楽しいドライブとなり、その後、ハレアカラ山頂からの最高の夕日鑑賞&星空観測!!最高に幸せな時間を過ごせました。ツアーに誘ってくれた妻と最高の時間を経験させてくれた山Pさんに感謝です。
Congratulations on your wedding! I think it's wonderful that you can see the stars at Haleakalā on your honeymoon. Please come back to Maui to celebrate your first and second anniversaries! I'm looking forward to seeing you again.
ご結婚おめでとうございます!新婚旅行でハレアカラの星を見れることは素晴らしいと思います。
また一周年、2周年記念でマウイ島に遊びに来てくださいね!
再会を楽しみにしています。
The tour company was absolutely wonderful. They made great efforts to entertain us guests. I had a fantastic experience that I couldn't have gotten with other tour companies.
ツアー会社の方が何より素晴らしかったです。我々ゲストを楽しませるために、色々ご尽力していただきました。他のツアー会社では得ることの出来ない体験をさせて頂いてとても良かったです。
It has become an entertainment tour. Haha, since I have also been in the music industry, I hope everyone enjoys themselves and goes home happy. I believe that language and manners are important, and having grown up in a sports environment, there is a sense of seniority, right? Haha.
エンターテイメントツァーになっています。笑 自分自身も音楽業界にいたりしていたので皆様が喜んで楽しんで帰っていただければ幸いです。
言葉使いとかマナーが大切だと思っていますし、体育系で育っていたので年功序列ですよね、笑
We encountered about ten whales during the cruise. They appeared very close to the boat, which was truly moving. It was a bit disappointing that the Japanese announcements came after the English ones, causing a slight delay in the whale sighting announcements.
クルーズ中に10頭ほどのクジラに遭遇。船のすぐ近くにも現れて感動ものでした。日本語の案内が英語の後なのでクジラ出現のアナウンスがワンテンポ遅れてしまうのが少し残念。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
It was lucky to see as many as 10 whales!
This season, our whale watching cruise will start again on December 15th!
If you have the opportunity, please come back to see the whales.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I was looking for a stargazing tour on Maui Island during our cruise, as it was my mother's long-time wish. Later, I realized that our guide, Mr. Yamapi, was featured in the "Rurubu" travel guide! The pick-up service to Kahului Harbor was very helpful.
We met up with six other guests at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Everyone was very friendly and considerate, making it a truly enjoyable tour. The entire journey was by car, taking us to the summit at 3,055 meters, which was very convenient. Although the base was covered in clouds, we were assured that there was no need to worry since we would be above them.
At one point, when we were driving through an area with eucalyptus trees, the guide let in some fresh air, and I was enchanted by the natural aroma experience. During the sunset at the crater, our guide, who has summited 2,700 times, timed it perfectly for us to see the sun setting! I think it took less than a minute for the sun to disappear.
Along the way, I experienced moments of a soundless world, feeling sounds in my inner ear. It was a luxurious moment that you can't experience in daily life. When we reached the summit at 3,055 meters, I thought I might feel the altitude more, but since we had gotten out of the car several times at 1,000 and 2,000 meters, I was completely fine.
For stargazing, there were a few clouds obstructing the view, but our guide searched for spots where the clouds had cleared. Since we had plenty of time for observation, by the end, we could see about 70-80% of the stars. Mr. Yamapi was very knowledgeable about the stars and provided two types of telescopes, which made my mother very satisfied as well!
We all sat on the provided chairs with warm tea and were able to observe the starry sky in 360 degrees. I am truly grateful for such a luxurious experience. And Mr. Yamapi's stories were fantastic! He mentioned that he wants to guide 3,055 times, so I hope to repeat this experience before then!
母のかねてからの願いもあり、クルーズ中に停泊したマウイ島で星空観測ができるツアーを探していました。
後で気づいたのですが、ガイドの山Pさんはるるぶに掲載されていました!
カフルイ港まで送迎があり助かりました。
クリスピー・クリーム・ドーナツで他のお客さん6人と合流しました。皆さん、とても気さくで気遣いがある方々ばかりで大変楽しいツアーとなりました。
全行程車移動で3055mの頂上まで連れて行ってくれるため、とても楽チンでした。
麓は雲がかかっていたのですが、雲より上を行くため心配ないとのことでした。
途中、ユーカリが生えているところで車内に外気を入れてくださった時は、天然のアロマ体験だぁ~と香りに酔いました。
火口でのサンセットでは、さすが2700回登頂されてらっしゃるガイドさんだけあり、太陽が沈む姿を絶妙なタイミングで見ることができました!沈むまで1分かからなかったと思います。
途中、何度か音のない世界、内耳で感じる音を体験をしました。日常では出来ない贅沢な瞬間です。
3055m山頂に着いた時に、もう少し酸素を薄く感じるかと思いましたが、1000m台、2000m台、と何度か降車したためか、全く大丈夫でした。
星空観測にあたり少し雲が邪魔していたため、雲がはけている場所を探してくださり、
観測時間がたっぷり用意されていたため、最後は7~8割まで見えるようになりました。
ガイドの山Pさんは、とても星に詳しく、望遠鏡も2種用意してくださり、一緒に参加した母も大満足で良かったです!
皆で温かいお茶とともに、用意されたイスに座り、360度満天の星空を観測でき、本当に贅沢な時間を過ごさせて頂き感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
そして、山Pさんのお話も最高でした!
3055mにちなみ3055回はガイドしたいとおっしゃっていたので、それまでにまたリピートできたらと思います!
Thank you for joining our island tour in Hawaii. This tour is suitable for participants of all ages, from children to seniors.
Although it's 3,000 meters high, you can drive to the summit, so there's no need to worry about walking.
From the summit, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the scenery, including the beginning of the night and the slowly changing green hues of the sunset.
It's been 12 years now, and we are currently training new staff. Please look forward to our new tours!
ハワイの島内めぐり船のツァーからの参加で有難うございます。お子様からお年寄りまで参加できるツァーです。
3000メートルですが山頂まで車で登れてしまうので、歩く心配もありません。
360度山頂での風景は夜が始まる部分と、ゆっくりと緑に変わる夕焼けがご覧いただけます。
12年にもなってしまい、今新人を育てております。新しいツァーも期待してくださいね!
The Cheifs luau was great! He's hilarious and his dancers were amazing to watch. The food was excellent and this is some thing we would do again and recommend to others!!
Since I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel, I had no travel time at all. I wasn't sure where the reception was and got a little lost, but I saw a line forming, so I joined it. While waiting, I was asked if I wanted to buy a lei and had the chance to take some photos.
After checking in, I went to the venue next to the beach and made my way to my seat with a drink in hand. The Mai Tai was really delicious. I ordered various drinks and enjoyed them. The staff guided us to our seats as we arrived. Once seated, I chatted with the people next to me and across from me while waiting for the show to start. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but everyone was kind and spoke to me.
The show was entirely in English, but it was enjoyable to watch, so I found it interesting. It was an impressive performance.
However... since it was outdoors, there was a downpour, and I received a raincoat from the staff to watch the show. The show proceeded as scheduled despite the rain. Even in the downpour, I laughed with those around me, saying, "Wow, the rain is intense!" This became a good memory.
The food was delicious, especially the meat, taro, and poke. I think it's better to take a lot at once so you can enjoy the show at a leisurely pace. There are many types of drinks, so I believe you'll find a favorite.
I think this Hawaiian show offers an experience of "Hawaii" that you can't find on Oahu.
I would love to participate again if I stay at the King Kamehameha Hotel.
キングカメハメハホテルに泊まって参加だったため、移動時間がまったくありません。
受付の場所がわからず、少し迷ってしまいましたが行列ができていたので並びました。並んでいる間はレイを購入するか聞かれたり、写真をとったりしながら並びます。
受付後、ビーチ横にある会場に行き、ドリンクを片手に席まで行きます。マイタイがとってもおいしかったです。いろいろなドリンクを注文してたくさん飲みました。席は来た人から係の人が案内してくれます。席に着くと隣の人や向かいに座っている外国の方と話しながらショーを始まるのを待ちます。英語があまり話せないので不安でしたが、皆さん優しく話してくれました。
ショーはすべて英語ですが、見て楽しめるので面白かったです。
迫力のあるショーです。
しかし。。。
野外の為、スコールになってしまい、係の人にカッパをもらってショーを見ました。
ショーは雨天決行の為、普通にショーは進みます。
スコールでも周りの人と「雨すごいね」と笑いながら見ました。
これも良い思い出です。
食事もおいしく、お肉、タロイモ、ポケがとてもおいしかったです。
一回でたくさん取ったほうがゆっくりショーが見れますので良いと思います。
飲み物もたくさん種類がありますので好みのお酒が見つかると思います。
オワフ島では味わえない『ハワイ』が体験できるハワイアンショーだと思います。
またキングカメハメハホテルに泊まったら参加したいです。
Dear Sakamai,
Thank you very much for attending the Luau show. I imagine it must have been quite challenging in the rain, but in Hawaii, we consider it a blessing. It means "the rain washes away the town, the people, and the hearts, making everything clean." We proceeded with the show with smiles, and it warms my heart to hear that you have good memories of it.
The show at the King Kamehameha Hotel received high praise, and it is a place we hold very dear in our long-standing relationship. We hope you will visit us again. It would be wonderful for us if you could enjoy plenty of food and drinks!
With Aloha.
サカマイ様
この度はルアウショーにお越し頂き誠にありがとうございました。
雨の中、とても大変だったのでは。。。と思いますが、ハワイでは祝福の雨。
「町も人も心もきれいに洗い流してくれる・・・」という意味がございます。そのまま笑顔でショーを進行させていただきましたが、
良い思い出とおっしゃってくださり、心がほっとする想いです。
キングカメハメハホテルでのショーは高い評価を頂き、私たちも長いお付き合いの中とても大切にしている場所です。
是非またお越し下さい。食事も、お飲物も、たくさんお召し上がりいただけると私たちも最高です!
Alohaを込めて。
