All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

Happy we got this to get access to everything on grounds!

A great luau down to the traditional Hawaiian cuisine, was all a great night!

Staying at Hilton and having the luau on property made it easy with kiddos!

Pick up was easy, and drop off as well- we really liked this way to get to PH!

The dancers are sooooo amazing, I wish my hips could move like that!!!

Our guide was so awesome, funny, and knowledgeable! Would recommend to friends and family!

Tax free, easy to get beforehand and skip the line :)

Got a few families together and it was right outside our hotel! I would srick with this boat tour for future trips!

Much to learn about all of Polynesian in 1 day! Would go again

Our family loved the ease to access this snorkel boat! Had so much fun!!

One of our favorite adventures days on Kauai, so nice and refreshing how well kept the Wailua River is!

Got to celebrate our anniversary on the Kona waters, very beautiful sunset and very good grub!

Seeing the garden island from above was unbeatable! Loads of streaming waterfalls, greenery, and the gorgeous Hawaiian waters!

Wonderful tour, really educated guide and loved the TV history!!

I participated in the VIP course because I wanted to experience a meal and show that felt like Hawaii!

At the reception of the Royal Hawaiian Center, I was greeted by a staff member who spoke Japanese, which provided a sense of reassurance right from the start. After checking in, I was guided to my table, where I enjoyed a Mai Tai while watching a ukulele and hula performance until it was time to start the meal. The meal included a variety of dishes, from salad to something like yakisoba, along with roast beef and roast pork. For dessert, I could freely choose from fruits and sorbet in a buffet style, which was very satisfying! The show started with traditional hula dancing and included a rock show and fire dance featuring stars like Elvis and Michael Jackson, offering a rich variety that made it feel like a show that was enjoyable in many ways. After the show, the performers kindly saw us off and took photos with us, creating wonderful memories!

Here are some other points that were good and some that could be improved:
★ Good points
- The variety of food was abundant, and it was delicious, making me very satisfied. The roast beef and roast pork were particularly tasty, as expected from America!
- Regarding the show, the hula dancing was great, and the performers portraying Elvis and Michael were surprisingly similar to the originals, which was exciting.

★ Points for improvement
- While the show had a rich variety, the parts that featured traditional hula dancing were limited, and there was a lot of focus on the Elvis segment, so those wanting to see more hula might be disappointed.
- The show ended after 8:30 PM, which is when the trolley buses have already stopped running. While public buses are still operating and the area is relatively safe for walking back to the hotel, if you have concerns, you may need to arrange for a taxi.
- After checking in, drinks are provided quickly, but there is quite a bit of time before the meal starts, so if you arrive too early, you might find yourself with some idle time.

I wrote a lot, but overall, I was very satisfied, and it became a great memory!

ハワイらしい食事とショーを見たくて、VIPコースにて参加しました！

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの受付では、たまたまだったのかもしれませんが、日本語を話されるスタッフさんで、受付時から安心感がありました。
受付後にはテーブルへ案内され、マイタイをいただきながらウクレレやフラの実演を見つつ食事開始の時間まで過ごす形でした。
食事はサラダから焼きそば的なものに加えて、ローストビーフやローストポークはもちろんのこと、食後のデザートとしてフルーツやシャーベットをブッフェ形式で自由に選ぶことができ、とても満足でした！
ショーはトラディッショナルなフラダンスに始まり、エルビスやマイケルジャクソンといった時代を彩ったスターを模したロックショーやファイヤーダンスなど、バリエーションに富んだもので、一粒で何度もおいしいようなショーでした。
ショー終了後は、演者さんが見送りをしつつ、写真も快く一緒にとっていただけて、いい思い出になりました！

以下、その他に良かった点といまいちだった点です。
★良かった点
　・食事のバリエーションが豊富で、味もおいしくとても満足でした。特に、ローストビーフとローストポークはやはりアメリカだけあってとてもおいしかったです！
　・ショーに関しては、フラダンスはもちろんのこと、エルビスやマイケルの演者さんが思ったよりも本物に似ていて興奮しました。
★いまいちだった点
　・ショーはバリエーション豊富だったが、いわゆる良くイメージするフラダンスのパートが少なく、エルビスパートのボリュームが多かったので、フラダンスをメインに見たい場合はがっかりしてしまうかも。
　・ショーの終了時間が20:30過ぎなので、トロリーバス等の運転が既に終わってしまっている時間です。公共のバスは運転しているし、治安もそれほど悪くないので歩いてホテルに帰ることも問題なくできますが、不安がある場合はタクシー等を手配する必要があります。
　・受付後、飲み物はすぐに提供されますが、食事が始まるまで結構時間があるので、早く行き過ぎてしまうと若干時間を持て余してしまうかもしれません。

色々と書きましたが、総じて満足で良い思い出になりました！

There is a venue on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and I was able to find it without any trouble. As soon as I arrived and completed the check-in, I was able to participate in the lei ceremony right away. Since my spouse and I wore aloha shirts, we were able to take beautiful commemorative photos with the lei draped around our necks, which was great.

Because we had reserved VIP seats, we were also guided to the buffet with priority. The freshly made roast beef and whole roasted pig were juicy, tender, and very delicious! We also received two complimentary drinks, so we had more than enough to enjoy without needing to order additional ones.

After the meal, we moved to the theater room, which was about a 3-minute walk away, to watch the Hawaiian show. The authentic hula dance was breathtaking. Additionally, we were able to see sharp dance moves and a tribute to Michael Jackson up close, making it a very meaningful time.

Being able to enjoy both the meal and such a show, I think it was overall a highly cost-effective entertainment experience. I recommend participating at least once if you come to Hawaii!
*I participated using a limited-time monitor offer for a second person free.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に会場があり、迷わず行くことが出来ました。
到着して早々、受付を済ませるとそのままレイセレモニーをしてもらいました。
夫婦でアロハシャツを着用して行ったので、レイを首から下げて素敵な記念写真も撮ることが出来て良かったです。
VIP席で予約をしていたため、ビュッフェも優先的に案内してもらうことが出来ました。
出来立てのローストビーフや豚の丸焼きはジューシーで柔らかく、とても美味しかったです！
ドリンクも2杯まで付いてくるので、追加で注文しなくても十分楽しめました。
食後は徒歩3分ほどのシアタールームに移動して、ハワイアンショーを拝見しました。
本場のフラダンスは圧巻でした。
また、キレキレのダンスやマイケルジャクソンのオマージュも間近で見られて、とても有意義な時間でした。
食事とこれだけのショーを楽しむことが出来て、総じてとてもコストパフォーマンスが高いエンターテイメントだと思います。
ハワイに来たら一度は参加をお勧めします！
※【2人目無料】人数限定モニターを利用して参加しました。

Super fun and informative loved the small group feel and friendly staff went on turtle snorkel cruise and ended up having dolphins swim with and under the boat soo amazing!! Also snorkeled with many turtles. Been on many Hawaii cruises this one was the best!!

If you want a fun trip out into the water this is the place to book very reasonable for what you get the fireworks was not that long of a show but it was still very nice with music and a finale the crew was also so nice and fun they made the experience great I really recommend if your considering!

This was my second time.
The pick-up bus was about 10 minutes late, and the vehicle was small and cramped. The guide made excuses, saying, "There was an accident..." but the driving was rough until we arrived at Polynesian, and the guide (driver) seemed to get lost, which made me very anxious.
After arriving at the site, the guide walked ahead quickly, gave a brief explanation, and then dispersed us. It was really a haphazard tour.
The show was good, but I was dissatisfied because I couldn't explore any other areas at all...
We also visited a nearby building that made no sense for free... (I don't really understand the connection...)
It would be great if we could explore other areas in the afternoon as well.
Anyway, I thought the show was better than last time!

今回２回目です。
お迎えのバス(小)が約10分遅刻。且つ車は小さくて狭い。「アクシデントがあったので…」とガイドは言い訳をしていたが、ポリネシアンに着くまで運転は荒く、道を間違えるようなガイド(運転手)だったので、非常に不安でした。
現地到着後もガイドは一人でどんどん歩いていき、さっさっと説明し解散。本当に雑な案内でした。
ショーは良かったのですが、それ以外のエリアの見学が全く出来ず不満です…
また無料案内で近くの意味のわからない建物
の見学をしました…(よく関係がわかりません…)
午後からの見学でも他のエリアの見学が出来ると最高ですね
とにかくショーは前回よりも良いと思いました‼️

I arrived at the reception area earlier than my reservation time, and I was told, "We're leaving, GoGo!" without knowing what was happening, so I boarded the boat and set off to the sea. I thought there would be some explanation, but a young crew member just kept saying, "Put this on, okay, okay," as I was getting ready (sweat). After getting everything on, I was guided to the stern ahead of those who had boarded earlier, and before I knew it, I was flying with the parasailing (laughs). However, being up in the sky was refreshing and fun, and it ended in no time. It's an activity I would like to try again if I have the chance. After confirming the SD card with the photos taken from the boat, I purchased it. My husband managed to film some video while we were flying.

予約時間より早めに受付場所に着きましたら、
もう、出発するからGoGo！と言われ何もわからずに乗り込み、海へ出発
何か説明があるのかと思いきや、若いクルーの男の子に
次々にこれつけて、はいはいという感じ(汗)
装着しおえて
先に乗船していた方々より先に、船尾へ案内され
わけのわからないうちに、パラセーリングで飛びました笑
でも、空の上は、爽快で楽しくあっという間に終わってしまいました。また機会があればやってみたいアクティビティです
写真も船より撮ってもらったSDを確認後、購入しました。
飛んでいるの動画は、主人がなんとか撮ってくれました

It was our first time and had a great experience! Thank you so much for everything!

The cheerful and service-oriented staff took plenty of photos for us, and we were blessed with great weather; the view from above was absolutely wonderful. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.

陽気でサービス精神旺盛なスタッフに写真もいっぱい撮って下さり、お天気にも恵まれ上空からの景色は最高に気持ちよかったです。
次回のハワイもまた必ず参加したいです。

The crew was really nice, and we have such a great experience. I was scared at first, but swimming with the mantas was really cool. This is definitely a must do in your trip to Kona.

This was a great sunset boat ride for our family of five. The staff was freindly and helpful. They made sure everyone was taken care of. Beautiful views of the sunset!

It was a long-awaited trip to Hawaii with my daughter. She wanted to go to Hanauma Bay, which we visited many times when she was a child, so I tried to access the Hanauma Bay entrance site at 7 AM two days ago to make a reservation. However, as I was entering the information, the availability quickly disappeared, so I signed up with Veltra.

The price felt a bit high, but once we participated, we were impressed by the guide's thorough information and they took us to the outer reef, which we would have been worried about going to on our own. We encountered three sea turtles and had a wonderful time.

On the way back, we also received recommendations for nearby restaurants and local information, which made us very satisfied. During snorkeling, the guide was present both in front and behind our group, allowing us to enjoy it with peace of mind. I was also really pleased to receive the photos the guide took from Facebook.

If you're hesitating to sign up, I absolutely recommend it!

娘と久々のハワイの旅でした。
子供の頃に何度も行ってたハナウマ湾に行きたいと娘が言うので、2日前の朝７時からのハナウマ湾入場のサイトにアクセスして取ろうと思ったのですが、入力してるうちにみるみる空きが無くなってしまい、ベルトラさんに申し込みました。
料金は少し高い気がしたのですが、参加してみたらガイドさんの丁寧なインフォメーションと、自分達では行くのが心配になるリーフの外まで案内して頂き、ウミガメ3匹と遭遇
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました
帰りがけにも、ホテルに近いオススメのレストランや現地の情報も頂き、とても満足しました。
シュノーケリングの最中もグループの前後に、ガイドさんがいて下さるので、安心して楽しめました。ガイドさんが撮って下さった写真もFacebookから頂けて本当に満足しております。

申し込もうかと迷ってる、絶対おすすめです‼️

First, we started with a welcome drink. We toasted with a drink full of Hawaiian flavor, and since it was the first night of our trip, I was really excited. After that, we enjoyed a buffet meal. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and each one was delicious, which made me very satisfied. In particular, the whole roasted pig was impressive and tasty. During the meal, hula dancers performed in the middle of the tables, adding to the atmosphere. There was even a mini hula lesson. If you wanted to eat, it was perfectly fine to do so. Afterward, we had a dessert buffet and moved to the show venue. The show lasted over an hour, and I was very satisfied. At the end, we could take photos with the performers. Overall, it was a highly satisfying dinner show.

As a piece of advice for those experiencing this, you receive two drink tickets (separate from the complimentary welcome drink), which can be used at either the dining venue or the show venue. When we tried to order, we were told that the ordering time at the dining venue had passed, so we had to use them at the show venue. The dining venue has a wider drink menu and serves drinks in proper glasses, which enhances the experience. At the show venue, you can drink while watching the show, but the drinks come in takeout containers and the menu is limited. Please be aware that the drink order cutoff time at the dining venue is quite early.

まず初めにウェルカムドリンクからはじまりました。ハワイ感たっぷりのドリンクで乾杯し、旅の初日の夜だったのでとてもワクワクしました。その後、ブッフェで料理をいただきました。ハワイの料理もたくさんあり、どれも一つ一つおいしくてとても満足でした。特に、豚の丸焼きはインパクトもすごく、おいしかったです。料理の中盤からフラダンスの人たちがテーブルの真ん中でダンスしてくださったりして盛り上げてくれました。フラダンスのミニレッスンがあったりもします。食事したい方は食事してても大丈夫でした。その後デザートブッフェをいただき、ショーの会場に移動。ショーはたっぷり1時間以上みれてとても満足でした。最後に出演者の方と写真も撮れます。全体的にとても満足度の高いディナーショーです。体験される方にアドバイスがあるとすると、ドリンクチケットが2枚（無料の乾杯ドリンクとは別）にいただけるのですが、食事の会場とショーの会場どちらでも利用できます。私たちはオーダーしようとした時には食事会場のオーダー時間が過ぎていたため、ショーの会場で使用してくださいと言われました。食事会場の方がドリンクメニューが多いのときちんとしたグラスにいれてくれるので気分が上がると思います。ショーの会場ではショーを観ながら飲めるのですがテイクアウトの入れ物になるのとメニューが少ないです。食事会場のドリンクのオーダーストップは結構早めなのでそこだけ気をつけてください。

After the end of COVID, it's been a while since I've been to Hawaii! This was my first time enjoying live music while having a meal, and I was very satisfied with the Hawaiian music that resonated in my heart, the people who jumped in to dance hula, and the delicious food. I plan to sign up again next time.

コロナあけ久しぶりのハワイ！食事をしながらのライブ鑑賞は初めてて、心に馴染むハワイアンミュージック、飛び入りでフラを踊る人達と美味しい食事でとても満足しました。また次回申し込む予定です

The inside of the submarine was clean, and it was nice to see the ocean clearly through the windows. However, I only saw small fish and didn't encounter any large or unusual fish, or turtles at all. This is left to nature, so it's certainly not the fault of the tour, but it was disappointing. I wouldn't mind if the price were higher; I would like to be taken to a place where I can see various tropical fish and sharks.

潜水艦の中はきれいで窓からは海の様子がはっきり見えてよかったのですが、小さい魚ばかりで大きい魚や珍しい魚、亀などは全然みることはできませんでした。これは自然任せなので、決してこのツアーのせいではないのですが残念でした。料金は高くなっても構わないので、色々な熱帯魚やサメなどが見れる場所に連れて行って欲しいと思います。

We had an amazing time, it was a great experience for both of us, staff and musicians was very welcoming, thanks to the musicians guys for singing a birthday song for my man. It was a pleasure.

In the morning, we went on a Kaneohe Bay cruise, and surprisingly, the waves were quite high, causing some people to get soaked inside the boat. The guide was amazing!!! The lunch buffet featured tender and delicious pork and chicken. The calamansi and pineapple juice were also good. In the afternoon, we took a lot of photos at Jurassic Village, and it was a very satisfying day (✿^‿^).

午前は、カネオヘ湾クルーズ、思いのほか波が高く、船内に波がザバ〜ン・・びしょ濡れになった方も。ガイドさん最高！！！
ランチビュッフェは豚肉、鶏肉が柔らかくて美味しかった。カラマンシーとパイナップルジュースもgood。午後から、ジュラシックビレッジでたくさん写真を撮り大満足の1日でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)
