All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I visit Hawaii every year, but this was my first time seeing RockAHula. The Mai Tais and food were even better than I imagined! In between meals, we enjoyed hula dancing, ukulele music, and singing. Both Japanese tourists and locals were having a great time.

From the VIP seats, we were able to watch the show right in the front, enjoying hula and Hawaiian songs, including Elvis and Michael's performances. The engaging production made the time fly by! I highly recommend seeing it at least once.

ハワイには毎年訪れていますが、今回初めてRockAHulaを観ました。
想像以上にマイタイも食事も美味しくいただきました！食事の合間にはフラダンスやウクレレ、歌で楽しめました。日本人もローカルの方も色々な方が楽しまれていました。
VIP席ではショーを1番前で観ることができ、フラやハワイアンソングのプレスリー、マイケルの歌を堪能できました。飽きさせない演出であっという間に時間が過ぎました！
一度は観ることをおすすめします。

It was a lot of fun to return to my childhood and try various things after a long time. The shops outside had many different items compared to Waikiki, and shopping was enjoyable as well. I want to go again!

久々に童心に返りいろんな事に挑戦したりととても楽しかったです。
外のショップもワイキキとは違う物が沢山売っていて買い物も楽しかったです。
また、行きたいです！

It's an early morning tour, so snorkeling starts at 9 AM. Even in Hawaii, it's cold. It was that cold in June, so winter will be even colder. If possible, a thin wetsuit is recommended; if not, a long-sleeve rash guard is essential. Also, please make sure to wear marine shoes in areas with lots of fish. Additionally, no Japanese is spoken at all, and all pickup locations and times are in English, so those who can't speak English might want to reconsider.

朝が早いツアーなので
９時からシュノーケリングになり
ハワイといえども寒いです
６月であれだけ寒かったので
冬はもっと寒いでしょう
できれば薄手のウェットスーツ
なければ長袖ラッシュは必須
あと、魚がたくさんいる場所は
マリンシューズも絶対履いてください。
あと日本語は一切通じないし
ピックアップ場所や時間も全て英語なので
英語できない人はやめた方がいいかも

I checked the tide chart and made a reservation to go, but the water level was about knee-high, so I went snorkeling. It was a bit murky, but I was able to see tropical fish swimming. The weather was a little bad, so it was a bit cold. The staff were friendly.

潮見表で確認して予約して行きましたが、ひざ上ぐらいの水位があったのでシュノーケリングをしました。少し濁り気味でしたが熱帯魚が泳いでいるようすは見れました。ちょっと天候が悪かったので少し寒かったです。スタッフさんは親切でした。

We thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Circle Island Tour. We had the opportunity to visit so many different parts of the island and experience the true beauty of the Big Island. The tour was well planned and Neil was an amazing host!
I definitely recommend that all visitors try this tour at least once!

Great tour guide, was funny and knowledgeable. Only problem was that the waters were murky from the waves at the time so weren’t able to see anything through the glass but we did see a turtle in the water. Was nice to be out on the boat.

I participated in this experience because I wanted children who were too young to join 17 years ago to have the same opportunity. Our guide, Shoyo (a Japanese), provided explanations about the Big Island during our travel time, making the journey to the summit of Mauna Kea enjoyable and engaging.

What awaited us there was an emotional panorama that you can never see anywhere else. Even though the sunset is something I've seen many times before, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved. It was a moment where I thought, "I'm glad to be alive, and I'm glad I came here."

Even after sunset, the natural show didn't end. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by a sky full of stars! I realized just how many stars there were. Tears naturally filled my eyes.

Experiencing the breathtaking panorama between the universe and Earth, the sunset at Mauna Kea is an activity that everyone should experience.

17年前に感動した体験を、当時幼くて参加できなかった子供達にも体験させたいと思い参加しました。
ガイドをしてくれたショウヨさん(日本人)は移動時間もハワイ島の解説などをしてくれ、退屈することもなくマウナケア頂上に到着。
そこで待っていたのは他では決して見ることが出来ない感動の大パノラマ。夕陽が沈むだけなのに、夕陽なんて何度もみているのに、何故こんなに感動するのか。生きてて良かった、ここに来て良かった、と思える瞬間でした。
日没の後も自然が織りなすショーは終わりません。気がつくと満天の星空！星ってこんなにあったのか⁉︎自然と涙が溢れてくる自分に気がつきます。
宇宙と地球のはざまで体験する大パノラマ、マウナケアのサンセットは是非体験すべきアクティビティです。

Wow! What an awesome afternoon spent on the sandbar! The staff are wonderful, the location is breathtaking, the activities endless!! Just book it! You won’t regret it. Memories that I will treasure forever!

The buffet was delicious, and the staff was very attentive, which was great. The show had rich content and was very enjoyable. It seems like it would be even more fun if you familiarize yourself with Elvis and Michael's songs beforehand. Neither the buffet nor the show has any Japanese-speaking staff, so it would be helpful to know some basic phrases for ordering drinks and such. However, even if you can't speak any English, I think most people will still have a good time.

バイキングは美味しく、店員さんの気遣いもしっかりとしていて、よかった。
ショーは内容が濃く、とても楽しめた。エルビスとマイケルの曲を予習しておくとさらに楽しめそう。
バイキング、ショーともに日本語は全く通じないのでドリンクの頼み方等基本的なことは話せるといい。英語が全く話せなくても楽しめたのでほとんどの人が大丈夫だと思います。

The whole experience was top quality.
The staff, the safety and the activity.
We had a blast.

Beautiful property.
Our only struggle was the waiting time for the shuttle.

On the first day of arrival, since I couldn't predict my time and physical condition, I decided to take the Waikiki Trolley. Although I could purchase tickets on-site, I opted to make a reservation in advance. After making the reservation, I showed my voucher at the local counter and exchanged it for a paper ticket (it seems that if you book through the official website, you can receive an electronic ticket).

This time, I purchased a one-day pass, but unlike other companies, the Waikiki Trolley's one-day pass is valid for two consecutive days, so I used it over two days to ride three routes (Blue, Green, and Red). From my experience, the recommendations for sightseeing points and how to spend time varied depending on the driver, but I appreciated that it took us to various tourist spots around Waikiki.

Additionally, in terms of differences from other trolley buses, aside from the fare and destinations, I got the impression that the clientele was different. While the Waikiki Trolley carries tourists from America, the High Bus and LeaLea Trolley seemed to mainly cater to Japanese tourists. However, in any case, it was rarely fully booked, and unlike The Bus, the interior was open, allowing us to enjoy the pleasant Hawaiian breeze while sightseeing.

到着初日は時間と体調が読めないために、ワイキキトロリーに乗ろうと思っており、事前に手配できることはしておこうと、当日現地で購入することもできますけど、事前申し込みをしました。申し込み後、現地のカウンターで、バウチャーを見せ、紙のチケットに交換してもらうという形です（公式サイトから予約すると電子チケットが受け取れるようです）。
今回、一日券を購入しましたが、ワイキキトロリーは他社と違って、今のところ一日券は連続する2日間有効なので、２日間かけて3路線（ブルー・グリーン・レッド）乗車しました。乗った感想では、運転手さんによって、この観光ポイントを見てもらいたい、というおすすめの場所と時間の使い方が違いますが、ワイキキ周辺の観光地を訪問してくれるのがありがたかったです。
また、他社のトロリーバスとの違いですが、料金や訪問先以外には、見たところ客層が異なるという印象を受けました。ワイキキトロリーはアメリカ人などの観光客も乗車しますが、ハイバスやLeaLeaトロリーは日本人観光客が中心という印象を受けました。ただ、いずれにしてもあまり満席になることは少なかったですし、ザ・バスと違って車内はオープンなので、ハワイの心地よい風を受けながら、観光ができてよかったです。

I visited in late June. After checking in at the reception, I was shown to my seat, where a pineapple was already prepared. Shortly after, a Mai Tai cocktail (non-alcoholic) was served. Once the buffet was ready, I went to the buffet corner to get what I wanted to eat. In between meals, you can enjoy Hawaiian music and even experience hula dancing.

This time, I made a reservation for the VIP course, which allows for priority seating at the buffet compared to the original course. Additional drinks are charged, but the VIP course includes one extra drink. Also, the show seating is closer to the stage. If you want to spend a little more money for a great experience, I recommend it.

After the meal, I enjoyed the show. It had a storyline that traced the history of Hawaiian music, featuring traditional to modern performances that can be enjoyed across generations. From check-in to the end of the show, it took about four hours. If you want to fully enjoy a night in Honolulu, I highly recommend it!

６月下旬に行ってきました。
受付でチェックインを済ませると席に通され、すでにパイナップルが用意されていました。程なくしてマイタイカクテル（ソフトドリンク）が提供されます。ビュッフェの準備が整ったらビュッフェコーナーで食べたいものを取りました。食事の合間には、ハワイの音楽を堪能したり、フラダンスの体験もできます。
今回はVIPのコースで予約をしましたが、ビュッフェにはオリジナルのコースよりも優先的に案内されます。追加の飲み物は有料なのですが、VIPのコースはもう１杯分の料金も含まれています。また、ショーの座席はよりステージに近くなります。少しお金を足していい気分を味わいたいならおすすめです。
食事の後は、ショーを堪能しました。ハワイの音楽の歴史をたどるようなストーリー展開で、伝統的なものから現代のものまで、世代を超えて楽しめるショーでした。
受付してからショーが終わるまでおよそ４時間。ホノルルの夜を存分に楽しみたいなら、おすすめです！

First, we started with the welcome drink, a Mai Tai. The meal included three types of meat: chicken, pork, and beef, all of which were delicious. The salad was also fantastic, made with my favorite romaine lettuce. I reached my limit there, but my wife was thrilled with the dessert, which was filled with cakes, and she was very satisfied.

The post-meal hula show was just amazing; singing and dancing combined the fun of Hawaiian and rock music, and everything was of high quality, leaving us very satisfied. A friend is coming to Hawaii in October, so I definitely want to recommend that they participate.

まずウエルカムドリンクのマイタイからスタート料理はチキン、ポーク、ビーフと3種類揃っていてどれも美味しいお肉でした、サラダも大好きなロメインレタスを使った大変美味しい料理がいただけました。
私はそこでギブアップでしたが、嫁さんはさらにデザートのケーキも満載で、大満足でした。
食事後のフラショウはもう最高、歌って踊ってハワイアンとロックの楽しさが混ざり合って全てがクオリティが高く大満足でした。
10月に友人がハワイに来るので、必ず参加する様に進めたいと思います。

I went with my daughter and it was a beautiful experience. The hike was definitely a calorie burner foe me. My daughter barely broke a sweat! The tour guide was fantastic, along with our transportation driver. I loved the scenery, The information. Very great experience!

I participated in a luau dinner. Groups are guided to their seats in the order they arrive. The dinner seating is outdoors under a roof, and the evening Hawaiian breeze was pleasant.

First, a Hawaiian drink called Mai Tai is served. You can choose between alcohol or no alcohol, and they leave your preferred option. I chose the non-alcoholic version, and it was sweet and delicious. In front of us was a hollowed-out pineapple, which we shared with the eight people around us. After that, we had to wait quite a while until it was time to get our meals. The food was served buffet-style, with options like grilled chicken, white fish dishes, roasted sweet potatoes, and salads. There were staff members slicing roasted pig and roast beef a little further ahead, so be careful not to take too much from the buffet, or you might not be able to finish it. Desserts and coffee were also available, and everything was quite tasty.

During the meal, someone came with a ukulele to sing Hawaiian songs, and they also performed hula dancing. The atmosphere was great, and they were skilled. Those who wished could participate in a hula dance class on the spot, which was quite fun. After managing the choreography, I high-fived other travelers from different countries at our table. After that, we were guided to the theater. I recommend using the restroom around dessert time. The theater is as cool as the reviews say, so you’ll need something to cover up.

The show features traditional Hawaiian dances, ballads, and rock music, providing enjoyment for both the eyes and ears. The fact that it’s a live performance is a big plus. The Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, as well as the main female singer, were all talented. The crowd really got into Michael's dance. The final fire dance was spectacular.

It was a rare experience to see a fusion of dinner and a show, which is not something you find often in Japan. Since travelers from various countries participate, I recommend it for those who want to enjoy an international atmosphere. If you go to Hawaii, you should definitely experience this at least once. I highly recommend it.

ロックアフラに参加しました。グループごとに到着した順番に、ハワイアンルアウディナーの席に案内されます。ディナーの席は屋根のあるアウトドアで、夕方のハワイの風が心地よかったです。
最初にハワイのドリンクのマイタイが運ばれてきます。alcoholかno alcoholか選ぶことができ、好みの方を置いていってくれます。ノンアルコールを選びましたが、甘くて美味しかったです。目の前に中をくりぬいたパイナップルがあり、こちらを周囲の8名でシェアしました。そこから、食事をとりに行ける時間までは結構待ちました。食事はビュッフェ形式で、グリルチキンや白身魚料理、さつまいもを焼いたもの、サラダなどいろいろありました。少し先で豚の丸焼きをスライスしたものとローストビーフを係の人が入れてくれるので、ビュッフェで取りすぎると食べきれなくなってしまうので注意です。デザートやコーヒーもいただけます。普通に美味しかったです。食事の途中から、ウクレレを持ってハワイアンソングを歌いに来てくれたり、フラダンスを見せてくれます。雰囲気があり上手でした。希望者はその場でフラダンス教室に参加でき、これが結構楽しかったです。振り付けをなんとかこなした後は同席した他の国からの旅行者さんとハイタッチしたりしました。その後は劇場へと案内されます。デザートぐらいの時にお手洗いを済ませておくことをおすすめします。劇場は口コミ通り冷房がよく効いているので、羽織るものが必要です。伝統的なハワイの踊りから、バラード、ロックと、目からも耳からも楽しませてくれます。生演奏であることもポイント高いです。エルビス、マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん、メインの女性歌手も歌が上手です。マイケルのダンスでも盛り上がりました。最後のファイアーダンスは圧巻でした。
日本にはなかなか無い、ディナーとショーの融合を見れたことは貴重な体験でした。各国からの旅行者が参加しているので、インターナショナルな雰囲気を味わいたい方にもおすすめです。ハワイに行かれたら、ぜひ一度は体験してみてください。おすすめです。

I visited the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center for the first time, and I found it right away. There was staff at the reception who spoke Japanese, so I was guided very smoothly. I didn't have high expectations for the buffet, but everything was delicious, and I enjoyed it with a Mai Tai. After the meal, I also had dessert and coffee. Since we had some time before the show, we strolled around the Royal Hawaiian Center, and when we returned, everyone had already moved, so we hurried to catch up. Once inside, the staff guided us to our seats, which was great. The show featured traditional Hawaiian hula and rock performances, including Michael Jackson, which were very well done. The impersonations were quite similar and entertaining. I even took a photo with Michael (laughs). Thank you for a wonderful evening!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階は初めて行きましたが、すぐにわかりました。受付に日本語がわかるスタッフがいたのでとてもスムーズに案内して頂けました。ビュッフェはそんなに期待していなかったのですが、どれも美味しく、マイタイと一緒に楽しめました。食事の後はデザートとコーヒーも頂きました。ショーの時間まで少しあったので、ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内を散策し戻ると既に皆さん移動していて慌てて私達も移動しました。中には入るとスタッフが席を案内してくれたので良かったです。ショーは、ハワイの伝統的なフラとマイケルジャクソン等のロックがうまく演出されていてとても良かったです。モノマネですが、とても似ていて面白かったです。マイケルと一緒に写真も撮りました　（笑）素敵な一夜をありがとうございました！

I was really looking forward to coming to Kualoa Ranch since I've watched the Jurassic Park series countless times with my son. After arriving in Hawaii, I finally made it to this dream destination. The moment I saw the movie scenery in person, I was so moved that I got goosebumps! Not only from the Jurassic series, but also from movies like "50 First Dates," which I had watched without knowing it was filmed here, and "Kong," which I saw on the ANA flight. I was constantly surprised to find that many movies I had seen were filmed at Kualoa Ranch. As a movie lover, it was truly a blissful time.

The lunch buffet included in the tour was hearty and quite delicious. The spare ribs, in particular, were very satisfying. Considering that one meal is included, the tour price felt like a great deal. Dining while overlooking Hawaii's great nature was wonderful.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy two types of cruises: one on the lake (or pond?) and one at sea. The weather turned a bit bad during the sea cruise, but seeing Kualoa Ranch from the ocean was impressive and reminiscent of the opening scene from the first Jurassic Park. Although the cruise wasn't very long, it was enough to fully enjoy Hawaii's natural beauty.

Kualoa Ranch offers various plans, but I highly recommend this one!

ジュラシックパークのシリーズを何度となく息子と見てきたので、クアロアランチに来るのを本当に楽しみにしていました。ハワイに到着し、いよいよ憧れの地へ。映画の風景を目の当たりにした瞬間は鳥肌が立つくらい感動しました！ジュラシックシリーズだけでなく、ここがロケ地だと知らずに見ていた映画「50回目のファーストキス」、行きのANAの飛行機の中で見た映画「コング」など、見たことがあるたくさんの映画のロケがクアロアランチで行われていて、「おー！」と驚いてばかり。映画好きとしては、本当に至福の時間でした。

ツアーに含まれているランチビュッフェはボリューム満点で、味もなかなか美味しかったです。特にスペアリブが食べ応えがあります。1回の食事が含まれていると思うと、ツアー代金がお得に感じます。ハワイの大自然を眺めながらの食事は素敵でした。

午後のクルーズは湖（池？）と海の2種類のクルーズが楽しめます。海のクルーズの途中で少し天気が悪くなってきたのですが、海から見るクアロアランチは迫力があり、最初のジュラシックパークの冒頭シーンを彷彿させます。時間としてはそれほど長くありませんが、ハワイの自然を満喫するのには十分でした。

クアロアランチには色々なプランがありますが、このプランはお勧めです！

The guide during the journey, the sunset viewing, and the stargazing were all excellent.

In the case of Kailua-Kona, it took about an hour from the meeting point at Target to the visitor center, but I was kept entertained with various information about landmarks and recommended sightseeing spots along the way. The explanations were mainly in English, but since the driver and guide was Japanese, it seemed possible to have Q&A in Japanese as needed. The English was also relatively easy for Japanese speakers to understand, and I was able to grasp about half of it.

After acclimatizing to the altitude, we set off towards the summit, which involved quite a bit of off-road driving with some vibrations. We returned to paved roads after about 30 minutes, but those who are prone to motion sickness might need to take precautions.

The sunset from the summit was breathtaking. This is something I highly recommend experiencing in person. After the sunset, we took a little time for photography and then descended to a parking lot for stargazing. While enjoying warm cocoa, we had a guide for the constellations using a laser pointer and took photos with a DSLR. At this time, we joined another group on the tour, with one guide providing explanations in English and the other in Japanese.

Both the sunset and the starry sky were spectacular views that can only be seen on this tour, so I definitely recommend experiencing them in person.

Lastly, one point to note is that due to the high altitude, there seems to be a risk of altitude sickness. In our group, there were members who showed signs of altitude sickness after leaving the visitor center, so we returned to the visitor center for a moment. The guide seemed to anticipate such cases in advance, quickly preparing emergency oxygen tanks and coordinating with the guide in the passenger seat and the office members in the city for descent preparations. They appeared to have built some margin into the itinerary, and although we had to deal with irregularities, the remaining members were able to reach the summit with about 20 minutes to spare before sunset.

The main sunset and stargazing experience was a highly satisfying tour, and it was reassuring to have a skilled guide who could handle such irregular situations.

道中のガイド、サンセット鑑賞、星空観測、全て良かったです。

カイルアコナの場合、ターゲットでの集合からビジターセンターまで1時間ほどかかりましたが、道中の名所や観光のおすすめスポットなど様々な情報を教えてくださり退屈しませんでした。
基本的に英語での説明となりますが、ドライバー兼ガイドは日本の方でしたので必要に応じて日本語でのQAは可能そうでした。英語も比較的日本人にも伝わりやすいようにしてくれていたのか、半分程度は理解できました。

高地順応の後、山頂へ向けて出発するとなかなかのオフロードで振動がありました。30分ほどで抜けて舗装路に戻りますが、酔いやすい人は対策が必要かもしれません。

頂上からのサンセットは圧巻でした。これは是非とも実際に見ていただきたいです。
サンセット後は少しだけ撮影等の時間をとって少し下った駐車場で星空鑑賞をしました。暖かいココアをいただきながら、レーザーポインタを駆使した星座のガイドや一眼レフを使用した撮影を行なってくれます。このタイミングでは共同でツアーを行なっているグループと合同となり、片方のガイドが英語、もう片方のガイドが日本語での対応を行なってくれます。

サンセット、満天の星空ともにツアーの形ではここでしか見られない絶景かと思いましたので是非とも実際に見ていただきたいです。

最後に一点、やはり中々の高所のため高山病のリスクはあるようでした。
こちらのグループでもビジターセンターを抜けた後に高山病の兆候が見られたメンバーが居たため、いったんビジターセンターまで戻りました。
ガイドさんは事前にこういったケースを想定されているようで、非常用酸素ボンベをセットしたり、助手席のガイドおよび市街地のオフィスのメンバーと連携して下山の準備をするなど、テキパキと対応されていました。
ある程度行程にもマージンをとっているようで、イレギュラーな対応を挟みましたが残ったメンバーは日没まで20分程度の余裕を持って山頂へ到着することができました。

メインのサンセット・星空鑑賞もとても満足度の高いツアーでしたが、こういったイレギュラーな事態への対応も安心してお任せすることができる熟練ガイドがついてくれるツアーでした。

Very much enjoyed this small group tour. I would definitely recommend. We had great time! John, our tour guide, was fantastic….

Amazing sandbar experience! We did this before but this time, we had the best sandbar tour, service and music…. Very relaxing and roomy boat.. so glad they had a changing room and separate bathrooms. Best part was the Hawaiian LIVE music, and kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling.

My first sailing experience.
The weather was perfect.
The staff was incredibly kind and strong!
I was able to experience something out of the ordinary, and it was a wonderful experience. I still don't have the courage to go alone on my next solo trip, but I definitely want to go again.
I think this is a highly recommended activity for a trip to Hawaii.
It was fun.
Thank you very much.

初めてのセーリング。
お天気は最高。
スタッフのお姉さんがめちゃくちゃ優しくたくましく❣️
非日常を体験できとても素晴らしい経験ができました。次回1人旅で一人で行く勇気がまだないのですが気持ち的にはまた行きたいです。
是非ハワイの旅にはお勧めのアクティビティだと思います。
楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The guide was very unfriendly, and there was almost no explanation or conversation. However, horseback riding in nature felt great! If only the guide had been better, it would have been perfect.

ガイドさんがめっちゃ無愛想で、全く説明とか会話がほぼなかった。ただ大自然の中での乗馬は気持ちが良かった！
ガイドさんさえよければ満点です。

Thank you for the precious experience.
We were guided to our seats and first chose between a cocktail or a non-alcoholic drink, which was served in a stylish glass.
After that, drinks incurred a charge, but we found the complimentary drinks and water to be sufficient. ♪ The meal was served buffet-style, with a variety of bread, noodles, and rice available, allowing us to eat as much as we liked. However, be careful not to take too much meat, as there was plenty!
During the meal, there was a hula dance performed right in front of us, making it a fun dining experience!
I even got to learn some hula dancing, but the hip movements were quick and more challenging than I had imagined.
Finally, we enjoyed a show indoors.
I was particularly moved by Moana!
I had a wonderful time, so I recommend everyone to participate if you have the chance. ✨

貴重な体験ありがとうございました。
席に案内され、初めにカクテルorノンアルを選びおしゃれなグラスで提供されました。
その後のドリンクは料金が発生しますが、私たちはサービスドリンクと水で十分でした♪その後はバイキング形式で、パン麺米全て揃っており、好きなものを好きなだけ食べれます笑でも、お肉は量がたくさんあるため、取りすぎに注意です笑
食事中はフラダンスを目の前で踊ってくれ、楽しく食事をすることができました！
実際にフラダンスも教えてもらいましたが、
腰の動きが機敏で想像を超えて難しかったです
最後は室内でショーを鑑賞。
モアナが特に感動しました！
とても、素敵な時間を過ごすことができたので、皆さんもお時間ありましたら参加をお勧めします✨

kids and adults loved the fun day we had would recommend it to all ages...

I started looking for SUP lessons because my mother said she wanted to try it. We decided on a one-hour lesson in Waikiki, which had no age restrictions and offered several time slots.

A Japanese-speaking instructor provided thorough explanations, and we had one instructor for the two of us as we entered the water. They gave us instructions at our own pace, and even though it was my first time, I was able to stand and paddle.

They also pointed out that turtles were swimming nearby, and we got to see them up close!

Even as beginners, it was a safe and enjoyable experience, and my mother said she wanted to participate again.

母がSUPやってみたいと言ったことがきっかけで探しました。そして、レッスン1時間、ワイキキ、年齢制限なし、時間帯がいくつか選べることが魅力で決めました。
日本語ができる方が丁寧に説明してくれて、私たち2名に対して1名の講師がついて海に入りました。
日本語交えて自分たちのペースに合わせて指示をくださり、私も初めてでしたが立って進むことが出来ました。
近くを亀が泳いでいることも教えてくださり、間近で見ることができました！

初めてでも安心安全で、母がまた参加したいと言うほどとても楽しい時間でした。

After toasting with a Mai Tai drink, there was a buffet featuring a colorful array of vegetables and fruits, along with chicken, pork, and roast beef. The dessert selection was abundant, and dining outdoors with the pleasant Hawaiian night breeze made it easy to overindulge. Live Hawaiian music and hula performances took place right in front of us, and the staff were bright and friendly, which encouraged us to even join in on a hula lesson.

After the meal, we moved indoors to the theater. The VIP seats were guaranteed in the front row, which was a nice touch. The screen displayed footage from Hawaii's past, making it interesting to learn about the history. Even those who are from generations that don't know Elvis or Michael, or who aren't interested in rock music, would likely be captivated by the stage performances. In fact, this was my third time watching, following visits eight years and five years ago.

There were some changes, like the addition of Disney songs, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable no matter how many times you see it. After the show, we took photos during the meet and greet. It's definitely a great way to create wonderful memories!

マイタイドリンクで乾杯したあとは、色とりどりの野菜やフルーツ、そしてチキン、ポーク、ローストビーフのバイキング。デザートも豊富で、屋外の食事はハワイの夜風も心地よく、食べすぎてしまいそう。ライブハワイアンミュージック&フラを目の前で行われ、スタッフの皆さんが明るく親切なので、フラ講習まで参加してしまう。
食後は屋内のシアターに移動。VIP席は前列の確約で、これも嬉しい。スクリーンにはハワイの一昔前の映像が映し出され、歴史を知るのも面白い。
プレスリーやマイケルを知らない世代やロックに興味がない方もステージのパホーマンス見入ってしま
うと思う。実は、8年前、5年前に続き3度目の観賞。
ディズニーソングが加わるなど、変化があったが、何度見ても充分楽しめる。ショー後のミート＆グリートで写真を撮って貰う。良き思い出づくりができる事間違いなし!

We went to the top of Haleakala with Yoshi, and it was a wonderful experience. We felt safe which was great. I would recommend going with a tour if you're going to go stargazing because the drive down the mountain esp in the dark can be a little daunting....no guardrails between 7,000-10,000 ft, winding roads on side of cliff, with no/very little lights on the sides of the road.
The stars and the sunset were breathtaking!!! We were literally above the clouds. Everything was provided like hot tea, blankets, warm jackets, a telescope and a pair of stand-up binoculars.
Highlight of our trip. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of our tour guide Yoshi - the donuts for everyone, opportunities for photo taking...Thank you Yoshi!!!

Must do in Maui best excursion ever.

On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, I opted for the dinner course. According to the details of the plan, I could choose one main dish from four options, which was fine. However, when I asked for a beer, I was told that beer was not included, and I had to order it separately. Because I ordered the beer, I also had to pay a tip when settling the bill. The plan stated that the tip was included, so I wonder if there is a discrepancy here, or if my understanding was incorrect. The food was delicious, and the live performance by local musicians was wonderful, so it was a bit disappointing.

ハワイに着いた最初の晩にディナーコースを利用しました。プランの詳細によると、メインディッシュは4種類から、1つ選び問題なかったのですが、飲み物はソフトドリンクとドラフトビールの中から選択可能とのことでしたので、ビールをお願いしたところ、ビールは含まれていない、と言われ、やむ無く別途オーダーしました。ビールをオーダーしたことで、会計の時、チップも支払わなければなりませんでした。プランでは、チップ込みとなっていましたので、こちらも相違していることになるのではないかと思いますが、当方の認識が違っているのでしょうか。料理も美味しく、地元ミュージシャンの生演奏も素晴らしかっただけに、少し残念な気がしました。
