Hawaii
The only con about this activity is I did find it on the expensive end. The total time spent up in the sky is quite short - about 5 min.
The staff were friendly and the activity itself was enjoyable.
I participated because I wanted to see the fire dance and hula dance. The theater was very well constructed. Dancers and a famous local singer appeared, and it was very exciting from the start. Around the middle, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson came out, and they danced to their famous songs with the dancers, which was really thrilling! The show itself lasts about an hour and a half, so it might be a good idea to use the restroom beforehand. I definitely want to see it again when I go to Hawaii!
ファイヤーダンスとフラダンスが見たくて参加しました。劇場もすごくしっかりとした作りでした。ダンサーと地元の有名な歌手?が登場し、最初からとても盛り上がりました。中盤くらいから、エルビスやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが登場し、それぞれの有名な曲に合わせてダンサーさんと踊っててとても盛り上がれました!!劇場自体1時間半くらいあるので、最初に御手洗を済ませた方がいいかもしれません。またハワイに行ったら是非見に行きたいです!
Thank you very much for visiting the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show on the first day of your trip to Hawaii. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラオリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにハワイ旅行初日にご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。大変楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.
シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました!船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです!ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。
The driver explained how to ride in Japanese during the car ride to the horseback riding location. After arriving, we were able to ride the horses one by one, and another guide accompanied us from the side and behind during the walk, helping us when we stopped. It was my first time riding a horse, and the weather was nice, with the sea looking very beautiful, which was incredibly soothing. However, my horse didn't seem to get along well with me, as it stopped and wouldn't move several times, causing the people behind me to wait quite a bit. Overall, I had a very valuable experience this time, which became a great memory.
乗馬迄の車の中で運転手さんが日本語で乗り方を説明してくれました。到着後は順番に馬に乗ることが出来、散歩途中も横や後ろから別のガイドさんが着いてきてくれて立ち止まったりした時に誘導もしてくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、お天気も良く海もとても綺麗で凄く癒されました。ただ馬との相性があまり良くなかったのか、何度も立ち止まり動かなくなってしまう子だったので後ろの人を凄い待たせてしまう事も多かったです。今回とても貴重な経験が出来たので良い思い出となりました。
Thank you for using Island Makana Tours. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
このたびはアイランドマカナツアーズをご利用頂き、ありがとうございました。またのご利用を心よりお待ちしております。
Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.
This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!
NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
One of the best things we did during our honeymoon! Fantastic team, boat and the adventure!
It was so nice we did not have to be there first to get a good seat. They were pre assigned and we were led to them by a very friendly staff member. We thought we would be the only ones there with a baby but there were other families with young children. Baby made to feel welcome. The food had a great variation with possible allergens noted at dish. Very thoughtful as my daughter can not eat dairy products while breast feeding her son. The maître D was lovely with a very soothing voice and good story and history teller. The dancers were very good and were smiling the whole time. It made for a happy time. Setting was beautiful. The fire dancer was very talented. I worried he would get burned, but he didn’t, thank goodness. All in all, the food, company of others beside us we got to meet, and the show was well worth the money spent. Thank-you
Before the show, the meal was plentiful. During dinner, the staff performed dances, Hawaiian songs, and took requests for songs while we enjoyed cocktails. Moving to the venue, the seating had a tiered arrangement, making it very easy to see.
As the show began, there were hula dances, rock dances, and fire dances, all flowing beautifully with great singing. Listening to nostalgic songs from the '80s, there was also a Michael Jackson impersonator whose dancing was amazing, and before we knew it, the time flew by to the end. It was wonderful to see this show in Waikiki, and I would love to see an Elvis performance next time.
ショーの前、食事タイムボリューム満点です。
食事どきからスタッフによるダンス、ハワイアンソング、カクテルを飲んで歌のリクエスト。
会場へ移動、席は段差があってとても見やすい。
ショーが始まりフラダンス、ロックダンス、ファイヤーダンス、とても流れが良く歌もうまい。
80sの懐かし歌を聴き、またマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん、ダンス最高で時間もあっという間にラスト。ワイキキでこのショーが見られとても良かった、今度はプレスリーも見たいな。

This was great afternoon
We were a picked up from our accommodation and bought the full packages
There was a party atmosphere with the band playing on the boat on the way there and back.
The staff were friendly, helpful and relaxed but still professional
The activities were good fun.
Great afternoon, Hightly recommend.

Many people were visiting Hawaii for the first time, and we enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the sea. The sunset was beautiful, and it was the perfect start to an incredibly fun trip. Everyone was thrilled.
初めてのHawaiiの人が多く

サンセットもキレイで
最高に楽しい旅の始まりでした。
みんな大喜びでした。
I participated with a group of six friends who were visiting Hawaii for the first time. We were blessed with great weather, and everyone was thrilled. We had a wonderful time enjoying Mai Tais and beer, and we even got to see dolphins. It was the best day ever.
初めてHawaiiに来る友達をつれて6名で参加しました。

The beautiful sunset and the lovely sea
Unlike the hustle and bustle of Waikiki,
I was able to relax and enjoy my time.
I would love to join again when I come to Hawaii.
キレイな夕日ときれいな海
ワイキキの喧騒とちがって
のんびりと過ごせました
ハワイに来たらまた参加したいです。
The perfect experience for first time visiting Kona! Loved the Coffee farm, black sand beach, and stargazing the most on this full-day excursion!
The sunset viewed from the boat and the manta rays tumbling far exceeded my expectations!!! I was very satisfied with the tour content!! However, the water temperature was surprisingly low, so I was freezing while watching the manta rays... You can rent a wetsuit for $10, but it only goes up to the knees, so it's still cold in the end. I still recommend renting a wetsuit. I didn't rent one, so I was cold the whole time. The hot chocolate after returning to the boat was soothing. Also, the toilet on the boat was out of order, so I couldn't use it. I was in pain wanting to go to the bathroom after snorkeling. It would have been perfect if the toilet had been fixed!!!!
船から見る夕日と予想を遥かに超えるマンタのタンブリング!!!ツアーの内容はとても満足です!!
ただ、意外と水温が低かったためマンタを見ながら凍えていました。。。10ドルでウェットスーツを借りることができますが、そのウェットスーツも膝上までしかないので結局寒いです。それでもウェットスーツを借りることをおすすめします。私は借りなかったのでずっと寒かったです。船に戻った後のホットチョコレートは体に沁みました。また、船に設置されているトイレが故障中のため使えず。シュノーケルが終わったあとずっとトイレに行きたくて辛かったです。トイレが直っていれば完璧でした!!!!
Aloha MM,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University. We appreciate your comment recommending wetsuits. As you pointed out, the sea temperature in Hawaii can be surprisingly low, especially for tours in the evening, so it might get chilly.
Regarding the restrooms, I have communicated with the staff in Kona on the Big Island to address this issue. We hope you will join us again, prepared for the cold. We look forward to seeing you!
Mahalo!
Aloha MM様
この度はマンタ大学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
ウエットスーツを勧めていただくコメントをしてくださりありがとうございました。ご指摘いただきました通りハワイの海水温は意外と低いので特に夕方以降のツアーは冷えやすいかもしれません。
お手洗いにつきましては、ハワイ島コナのスタッフへ連絡し直すように伝えました。
ぜひまた、防寒対策をしてご参加いただきたく思います。お待ちしております。
Mahalo!
The aquarium is nice,but I had to wait 15 minutes for a Supervisor came to verify my digital ticket.The perdon at the desk couldn't find it.
The snorkeling was murky, possibly because the sea was shallow, and I couldn't see any fish except where the staff was scattering food. The coral was completely white, and I could hardly see anything. After snorkeling, I got to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and the staff taught me how to ride it, which was a lot of fun.
シュノーケリングは海が浅瀬のためか濁っていて、スタッフが餌を撒いているところ以外魚も見えず、珊瑚は真っ白でほとんど何も見えなかったです。
シュノーケリングの後supが使えて初めての経験でスタッフが乗り方を教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's tour.
We sincerely apologize for the low visibility during snorkeling, which did not meet your expectations. We are grateful for the two-star rating despite not being able to fulfill your wishes.
We are always striving to improve with our staff to ensure that every customer has a memorable experience, and we would be delighted if you could join us again on your next opportunity. We look forward to the day when you can experience a different sandbar tour.
Thank you for your valuable time and feedback.
この度はキャプテンブルースのツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
シュノーケリングでは海の透明度が低くご期待に沿えず大変申し訳ございませんでした。
ご希望に添えなかったにもかかわらず、星2つを頂戴しありがたく存じます。
どのような状況でもお客様の心に残るご体験をしていただけるよう、常にスタッフと改善に努めておりますので、是非次の機会にもご参加いただけますと幸いです。
また違うサンドバーツアーをご体験いただける日を、スタッフ一同心からお待ちしております。
貴重なお時間とご意見をいただき感謝申し上げます。
The Pure Land existed. While listening to a ukulele performance, we took a boat to a diving spot, dove in a place with beautiful coral reefs and many fish, and enjoyed canoeing. I was able to create unforgettable memories.
極楽浄土が存在しました。ウクレレの演奏を聴きながら、ダイビングスポットまで船で行き、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚がたくさんいるところでダイビングし、カヌーにのって楽しみました。忘れられない思い出をつくることができました。
We are very pleased that you enjoyed the tour and that it became one of your unforgettable memories. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
ツアーを楽しんで頂き、何よりも忘れられない思い出の1つになった事を大変嬉しく思います。この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
Instructor Dan pulled me along, even though I'm not a good swimmer. I felt very safe and was able to go far out, and I got to see sea turtles up close. Since it was a small group, I could take my time watching the sea turtles, and it was the first time I felt so relaxed while snorkeling. It truly was the best memory!
インストラクターのDANさんが
カナヅチの私を引っ張ってくれ
とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。
少人数なので
海ガメをゆっくり見ることが出来たし
あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは
初めてです。
本当に最高の思い出です!
At first, I was indeed anxious about riding in a Cessna, but once we took off and I looked down from the sky, it felt really good and I enjoyed it. The pilot was surprisingly a woman and she even spoke Japanese, making it the best first experience in a Cessna. I have another trip to Hawaii planned in three years, so I definitely want to ride again. Also, during the round-trip transfer, the owner's entertaining Kansai talk was enjoyable, and my wife and I had a great conversation.
最初はやはりセスナに乗るのは不安がありましたが離陸して空から下を見ているととても気持ちがよくて良かったですね パイロットさんもビックリ女性で日本語まで話せて最高なセスナ初体験でした。3年後に又ハワイ旅行の予定があるので是非また乗りたいです それと行き帰りの送迎ではオーナー様の楽しい関西トークも楽しくて妻と話がとても盛り上がっていました
A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
I love using this cruise , I love how they take care of us . The captain told us about the island history, I love the stories he told us as we were getting closer to The Valley . I always get impressed by the beauty of the Napali coast . I have never been to such a beautiful view . I plan on going back to this island in the summer . The snorkeling was amazing!!! I got to swim next to turtle and fishes . The food was good , never disappoints to use this app this cruise . It’s perfect for families, small kids, groups or even solo trips
This was my fourth time with this cruise and it did not disappoint me at all . My first time was by myself but I had to bring my family so they could experience the breathing views of Napali coast . This time I brought my parents specially to celebrate my moms birthday. She was scare at first but as we started seeing the valleys and the blue water she enjoy to the point to even cry to see such a beautiful place . My dad was so exited he jump for a swim . I love the part when we got so close to the waterfall
I had never tried parasailing before, and I was a bit anxious, but once I experienced it, it was over in no time, leaving only the joy of a wonderful experience. The view from 150 meters above was fantastic, especially with the good weather. There seems to be a weight limit, but it was great that three adults could ride together. Thank you very much.
パラセーリングは一度もやったことが無くて、少し不安もありましたが、体験してみればあっという間に終わって、楽しさだけが残る素敵な経験をしました。150メートルの上空の見晴らしは、天気も良くて、最高の景色でした。体重制限もあるようですが、大人3人一緒に乗れて良かったです。ありがとうございました。
This was my nth time in Hawaii, and I participated as a monitor. The buffet mainly featured pork, and there weren't many seafood options like poke. There were English speakers participating as well, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the Japanese attendees were being prioritized less. The show featured live singing and live music! I was surprised by the chubby Michael, who sounded similar (laughs). Rather than traditional hula dancing and fire shows, it was more of a mix with rock, so it might not be suitable for those who want to enjoy something more authentic and relaxed.
ハワイ何度目かでモニター参加しました。
バイキングは豚肉中心で、ポキなどの魚介系はあまりありませんでした。
英語圏の方も参加していたのですが、どうしても日本人は後回しにされている感じが否めなかったです。
ショーは生歌で生演奏でした!
声は似てるけれど太ったマイケルには驚きました(笑)
本格的なフラダンスやファイアーショーというよりも、ロックと掛け合わせなので、本格的なものをゆったり楽しみたい人には向かないかもしれないです。

The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.
The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.
Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!
Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
Yesterday I decided to just get away to Waikiki for some fun on the water and I had the pleasure of having 2 awesome experiences. Everyone was was very nice. Drinks were awesome and the crew was spectacular. I recommend as I will be sailing out with these awesome people again. Mahalo
I'm glad I participated in this tour. The scenery is something that cannot be fully conveyed through photos. I was very satisfied with the variety of places we visited.
このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。
写真では伝わりきることができない景色です。
いろんなところに行くことができて大満足でした。
On the day I participated, a Japanese guide was in charge. While driving, he provided explanations in both English and Japanese. There were eight participants, half of whom were Japanese. At the summit, we were able to see a beautiful sunset. It was almost windless, so it wasn't too cold, but according to the guide, it had been very cold the day before due to strong winds, so it seems to vary by day. The stargazing was limited because it was close to a full moon, resulting in fewer stars. However, everyone, including the guide, was surprised by a fireball that suddenly appeared. It was an experience that happens once in a lifetime. It was a great tour.
私の参加した日は、日本人のガイドさんが担当してくれた。運転しながら、英語、日本語、交互の説明、参加者8名、内、半分が日本人だった。山頂では美しい日の入りを見ることができた。ほぼ無風だったのでそれほど寒くはなかったがガイドさん曰く前日は風が強く大変寒かったそうで、日によってまちまちのようだ。星空観測は満月に近いこともあって、星の数は少なかった。しかし突然現れた火球にガイドさん含めて皆ビックリ。一生に一度あるか否かの経験をした。良いツアーだった。
This was one of the best parts of our trip! Beautiful views, fun crew and good times. I highly recommend adding it to your vacation!
Smooth cruise. Saw spinner dolphins. Very nice beach close to port.
