The show at the Polynesian Cultural Center was excellent and very engaging. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, with plenty of options to enjoy. A great overall cultural experience.

The 6 of us in our group had a wonderful time at this luau.

The meal was excellent and the performances of the dancers and others was quite memorable.

A bit expensive, but as a unique experience for the family, well worth it

The weather was cloudy with occasional rain, but it was warm with a southern breeze. I was happy to see manta rays and sea turtles. It would have been perfect if the sky had been clear, but it was a bit disappointing. The burger for lunch was delicious. The staff were all very cheerful and it was a lot of fun.

お天気が曇り時々雨でしたが、南風で暖かかったです。
エイやホヌが見れて嬉しかったです。
青空だったら最高だったんですけど、ちょっと残念。
ランチのBURGER美味しかったです。
スタッフ皆さんとても陽気で楽しかったです。

The banana boat and bumper tube were a lot of fun! The staff was also very friendly. The weather wasn't great, so I would like to experience it again on a sunny day in the blue sea.

バナナボートとバンパーチューブはとても楽しかったです！
スタッフも親切でした。
天気がイマイチだったので、晴れた日にまた青い海で体験したいです。

I was very satisfied with the entertainment that can be enjoyed in an open and tropical atmosphere. There were powerful performances such as hula dancing and fire dancing, and I was entertained from start to finish without getting bored. The captivating dances and lively singers energized the entire venue, and being able to see it up close was a truly valuable experience. The staff was also very courteous, and they made the dining experience enjoyable. Additionally, there were many Japanese people in attendance, which made it easy to enjoy even for first-timers. I think this show is highly recommended as a memorable part of your travels.

南国らしい開放的な雰囲気の中で楽しめるエンターテインメントとしてとても満足度が高かったです。フラダンスやファイヤーダンスなど、迫力のあるパフォーマンスが次々と披露され、最初から最後まで飽きることなく楽しめました。魅了的なダンスとノリのいいシンガーに会場全体が盛り上がっており、それを間近で見れる席は非常に貴重な体験でした。スタッフの対応も丁寧で、ご飯の時も楽しませてくれて、また日本人も多かったため初めてでも安心して楽めました。旅行の思い出として、とてもおすすめできるショーだと思います。

Although I was able to reach the summit of Mauna Kea, unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and I was unable to see the sunset or the starry sky. I appreciated that they offered a partial refund when both were not visible.

Even though I couldn't see either, the guide was supposed to explain in English but provided explanations in Japanese instead, and the guidance at the summit was consistently polite and enjoyable. During the restroom break on the way back, they mentioned that we might see some stars, and I was delighted to catch a glimpse of a few through the clouds.

It was such a good tour that I would like to choose a day with better weather and participate in the tour again next time.

マウナケア山頂には行けたものの、残念ながら天候に恵まれずサンセット、星空観測ともに見れませんでした。
両方とも見れない場合は一部料金の払い戻しをしていただけるのはありがたかったです。

両方ともは見えませんでしたが、ガイドの方は英語での説明予定だったのに日本語で説明してくれましたし、山頂での説明や案内も終始丁寧で楽しめました。
帰路のトイレ休憩の際に星が見えるかもと教えてくれて雲間から少し星が見えたりしてフォローが嬉しかったです。

次回は天気がいい日を選んで再度ツアーを参加したいと思えるぐらいいいツアーでした。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for a tour to Haleiwa Town and the Dole Plantation that I had been wanting to visit. The guide provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which helped deepen my understanding while also exposing me to English, making the tour enjoyable until the end. At Dole, the guide explained how to enjoy the attractions and the tickets, so I was able to fully enjoy the train ride, pineapple ice cream, and even souvenirs. In Haleiwa, I strolled around and had garlic shrimp and hamburgers. The local atmosphere was great. Since it was a half-day tour, it wasn't too tiring, and it was just right.

今回初めてのハワイで、行きたかったハレイワタウンとドールプランテーションのツアーを申込みました。ガイドさんが日本語と英語で説明をしてくれて、英語にも触れつつ、日本語で理解が深まったので最後まで楽しいツアーでした。ドールでは、楽しみ方のポイントやチケットの説明もしてくれたので、列車やパイナップルアイス、お土産まで満足に楽しむことができました。ハレイワでは、全体を散歩しつつ、ガーリックシュリンプやハンバーガーを食べました。ローカルな雰囲気が良かったです。半日のツアーなので疲れすぎず、ちょうど良かったです。

Internet during boat ride
Activities on sandbar ( paddle board, kayaks , snorkeling and tubing)
Friendly stuff

The magnificent scenery was truly wonderful! The reception staff were fluent in Japanese, which made it easy to participate in the activities. I had a great time!

雄大な景色がとても素晴らしかったです！
受付も日本語堪能な方が対応していただき、すんなりアクティビティに参加できました。
とても楽しかったです！

I took a semi-private lesson. It was my first time surfing, but the instructor's explanations were clear and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. I had a great time.

The staff at the shop running the school were also very friendly and approachable, which helped ease my initial nerves and allowed me to fully engage in the lesson. Additionally, thanks to the optional photo service, I was able to preserve my memories in a tangible way, so I’m glad I added that!

I would love to participate again! Thank you very much for this experience.

セミプライベートのレッスンを利用しました。
サーフィンは初めてでしたが、インストラクターの方の説明もわかりやすく親切で、とても楽しく参加することができました。
とてもいい経験をさせていただきました。

スクールを運営されているショップの方も、とても親しみやすく話しやすい雰囲気だったので、最初の緊張もすぐに解けてレッスンに臨むことができました。
また、オプションの写真のサービスのおかげで、思い出を形として残すことができたので、追加してよかったです♪

また参加したいです！
この度はどうもありがとうございました。

My wife and I have been here for the second time, but it was great to see our daughter enjoy it for the first time. She said it was the most fun two hours ever... as a father, that makes me feel amazing.

私と嫁は2回目でしたが初めての娘が喜んでくれて良かったです。こんな楽しい2時間は無かった…と言ってくれて父親としては最高です。

I participated on the first day of my trip to Hawaii. Since I had reserved a VIP seat, I was able to go get food with priority, and fortunately, I enjoyed the show from the front row. The show featured hula dancing, Elvis, Michael, and it was very entertaining. The audience was incredibly enthusiastic, making it a wonderful time. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, creating great memories. The flow during the meal was a bit unclear, so I think it would be smart to prepare more informational sheets in Japanese and other languages.

ハワイ旅行の初日に参加しました。VIP席で予約していたので、食事も優先的にとりに行けましたし、ショーは幸い最前列で堪能できました。ショーはフラダンスやプレスリー、マイケル、ととても面白い内容でした。観客もものすごい盛り上がりで、とても素敵な時間になりました。ショー終了後には、出演者の方々と写真も撮れ、とてもいい思い出になりました。食事の時の流れがわかりにくいので、日本語や他の言語での案内用紙などをもう少し準備するとスマートと思います。

Garden is beautiful. Food was great. Ceremony was cool. I would recommend it!

Loved our tour guide Saybrin!!! She was HILLARIOUS!! The other 2 guides who helped were so helpful and kind as well. Water was cold but the tunnels and experience were awesome. Thanks for such a fun time!

The reservation was fully booked, so I opted for the plan where I could have a buggy driven for me, and it was a lot of fun! The rain actually made it feel magical and wonderful!

予約が空いておらず、バギーを運転してもらうプランにしましたが、とても楽しかったです！
雨も逆に幻想的で素敵でした！

I had a great time. The weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy myself comfortably outdoors. The show was wonderful too!

楽しかったです。
お天気も良かったので屋外で気持ちよく楽しむことができました。
ショーも素敵でした！

We so enjoyed our evening. The servers were personal and attentive. We could tell the meal time entertainers were having just as much fun as we were. The food was excellent and presentation marvelous. There was ample time to enjoy our meal and table talk. The show did not disappoint us. The singers and dancers keep us engaged and time flew by.

Dan and Chieko (?) from Hawaii Blue Divers were amazing! This particular company made the entire process our family of 3 as easy as it could be- no need to worry about anything! We had a great ride to and from Hanauma bay, we didn’t have to fuss over securing admission tickets (which I hear are a pain), we were provided with everything needed included tram rides to and from the entrance to the bay. Which was so appreciated after snorkeling 🤿. Dan was incredibly attentive and helpful to me (a scared of natural water, fear of drowning, and uncoordinated 44 year old), as well as to my 9 year old daughter who knows basic swimming concepts but is not yet a full swimmer. We were personally guided and had such a great experience. I cannot speak highly enough of these folks. Incredibly attentive, adaptive and knowledgeable. We clearly had chosen the right company to go with from the ease of entering the park before a HUGE line of white vans, not having to walk down to the bay or back up, snacks and water provided, and no need to deal with the hassle of renting equipment. We didn’t need to do anything beside show up to our pick up spot and have required cash and a change of clothes. They offer wetsuits and I highly recommend getting them for a bit more warmth, protection from getting scratched by coral, and added buoyancy. Make sure to have a good breakfast and hydrate before going, take clothes or a cover up to wear/change into, think about waterproof pouches for phones (not required as Dan did great with photos), towels, and enough cash to pay the entrance fee, rent wetsuits, and provide a BIG tip because you’ll be grateful for the experience. Expect to be tired and thrilled because it is a great snorkeling tour of the bay. Thank you Dan and Chieko!!!

I had a great view from the center. I could clearly see the performers' expressions, which was moving. I enjoyed a wonderful performance with powerful sound volume.

中央で大変よく見えました。
パフォーマーの方の表情もよくわかり感動しました。
迫力ある音量で素晴らしいパフォーマンスが堪能できました

My first skydiving experience in my life! It was a bit scary, but more than that, I felt the wind of Hawaii and felt like I became a bird. It was an absolutely amazing feeling!

人生初のスカイダイビング！　ちょっと怖かったですが、それよりもハワイの風を感じて鳥になった気分になれて、最高に気持ちよかったです！

Would do it again. Walking back saw a mommy pig with 6 babies
Relaxing and fun.

It would have been great if the weather was better but still a fun time. My only complaint is that I would have liked the area that is cordoned off for paddle boarding and kayaking to be bigger. The live music is a nice touch!

My wife, our daughter, and her family of seven participated! It was very interesting, thrilling, and we were extremely satisfied. My son-in-law got involved in a car accident, but we created a lifelong memory at the circus.

私達夫婦と娘家族7人で参加して来ました！
とても、面白く迫力もあり大満足でした。
娘ムコが巻込み事故に遭いシルクドに実演一生の思い出ができました。

Fun for all. The guides made it fun and informative.

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband, participated with our three grandchildren. The grandchildren had a great time, and we were very satisfied! The captain and crew were very friendly and made the experience enjoyable.

私達夫婦と娘夫婦と孫3人で参加しました。
孫達がとても楽しんでくれて大満足です！
キャプテン・クルーの方達もとても気さくな方達で楽しませてくれました。

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our recent stargazing tour with Yoshi. We brought 4 adults and 4 kids (5-8 years old) to the summit and everyone had a blast. You can never predict Mother Nature so while at the summit (which was very windy and cloudy), Yoshi made the decision to change stargazing locations to another spot a little lower on the mountain and his expertise was rewarded as we were able to watch a beautiful sunset and view the stars from our new spot. It was such a memorable experience for everyone, I would 100% recommend this activity to anyone visiting Maui.

We had a great time on our tubing adventure. The staff was so friendly and fun. They made sure they knew our names. Made lots of funny comments and just made it a lot more fun. Great experience .

Was a nice and fun experience never. Weather was really nice in the afternoon. There so much to do and see not enough time for everything lol . We also had a really good tour guid his name was Sam .

Staff and performers were great… Love the storytelling and music… A must do when visiting Kauai

This was our first experience of Luau. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The music and dance were exceptional. The food and drinks were awesome. The program was handled with care and professionalism. We will be happy to come back one day.
