I highly recommend this tour. Anyone who has an interest in history will enjoy it. It was moving standing above the Arizona where World War II started and on the Missouri where the surrender agreement was signed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional.

I participated in a tour on October 30. I had originally planned a different night tour, but it was canceled on the day due to bad weather. I had been recommended the manta ray tour by a local Lyft driver, so I hurriedly booked the evening tour for that day. In the end, it was a great decision.
Listening to the explanations from the Japanese guide made for a reassuring boat trip. It was also a wonderful memory to see the sunset sinking into the sea and to spot baby whales along the way.
As for the mantas, I was able to see about six of them. They shared the videos and photos taken with a GoPro, which allowed me to focus on the mantas in front of me without getting distracted by filming. The mantas gracefully swam just a meter away, and after watching them for a while, I completely lost track of everyday life and felt as if there was only the mantas and myself in the world.
After returning to the boat, we were served warm cocoa. It was soothing and comforting for my slightly tired and chilled body.
Since this seems to be an experience you can't have on Oahu, I highly recommend participating in this tour if you visit the Big Island.
10/30にツアー参加。
元々別の夜ツアーを予定していたのですが、それが悪天候で当日キャンセルとなりました。
マンタツアーのことは、事前にLyftの地元運転手からお勧めされていたので、急いで当日夕方のツアーを予約しました。
結果的には大正解でした。
日本人のガイドさんの説明を聞きながら、安心した船旅となりました。
途中で海に沈む夕陽や、子どもの鯨を見ることができたのも良い思い出です。
肝心のマンタは、6枚ほど見ることができました。
GoProで撮影した動画や写真を共有してもらえたので、撮影に気を取られず、目の前のマンタに集中することができました。
1mの距離で身を翻し、優雅に泳ぐマンタ。
しばらく見ていると、日常は完全に頭から消え、世界にマンタと自分だけしかいないような錯覚に陥りました。
船に戻ってからは温かいココアを振る舞ってもらえました。
少し疲れて冷えた身体に染み渡るココアでした。
オアフ島では体験できないイベントらしいので、ハワイ島を訪れたらぜひ参加してもらいたいツアーです。

Great way to spent the day! Perfect for couples, everyone uses a double kayak. The included lunch was nice at the waterfall. Easy hike after the kayak route to the waterfall, any type of shoes or no shoes are doable. Our tour guide Izzy was super friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you !!
Aloha Kristen, Thanks for the 5 stars and for taking the time to share. I agree with all that you said, including that Izzy is great, but some sort of footwear is advisable. We have one seasoned guide that negotiates the rocky often slippery trail shoe less, but again we recommend some sort of aqua shoes or beater tennis shoes. Keep chasing waterfalls. Happy Holidays.

The Luau dinner and Rock-A-Hula are situated at a very convenient location. The Luau buffet-style dinner had many different options including roast pig and dessert. The line was moving a bit slow. Not enough time to enjoy the food. The Rock-A-Show was very good. Really enjoyed the hula dancers and singing. Overall it is a great activity if you like dinner and show.

First time attending to this Luau and Polynesian Show called Rock -A-Hula. The dinner and show took place at a very convienent location along the Waikiki Beach. Getting situated to the seating was very easy. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. The dinner itself had a good variety buffet style and was tasty. Overall the line on waiting for the food could have been better. Took me appx 30 minutes before I was lining up for the buffet line. By the time I got my food, only had about 30 minutes left to eat. Felt a little rushed. The Rock-A-Hula definitely is a must see. Very nice production, dancers were great, and singers were impressive. Overall I highly recommend doing this activity.

For the price, and the drinks it was a good experience. However for the customer service could be a little more professional. Jokes are all great but crew members shouldn't be drinking and suggesting that I dance on a pole. Especially if I say no, it should be dropped and I shouldn't be told "i guess you don't like to have fun". Borderline sexual harassment.

It was amazing. As soon as we boarded, we received lunch, and they wrapped it for those who planned to eat later. It was almost my first time snorkeling, but they provided thorough explanations, and when I looked into the sea, there were so many fish, I was very satisfied. It was definitely a good idea to bring marine shoes; they are a must. For other activities, we didn't have to wait in line; we did them as they became available. If you plan to use the snorkeling mask again later, keep it at your seat on the boat. There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms, which I used several times. It was helpful because I started to feel cold while in the water and needed to go to the restroom. The restrooms were quite clean. After playing for an hour and a half with breaks in between, it was enough, and we went back to the boat to change and enjoy lunch leisurely. I dislike shuttle buses, so I used Uber for both trips. It cost about $50 to $60 one way from Waikiki. The staff spoke a little Japanese, but all the safety instructions were in English, so I thought it would have been better if there was something written in Japanese for Japanese guests. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.
最高でした。乗船してすぐランチを受け取るのですが、後で食べるつもりの人にはラップしてくれます。スノーケリングはほぼ初めてでしたが、説明をしっかりしてくれて、海の中をのぞくともう沢山の魚がいて大満足。マリンシューズは持って行って正解。持参必須です。他のアクティビティも順番を待つという感じではなく、空いているものからやりました。スノーケリングマスクは、後でまた使う場合は船の自分の座席に置いておく。トイレは男用1つ、女性用2つあり、何回か利用。海に入っていると寒くなってトイレに行きたくなるので助かりました。充分キレイなお手洗いでした。途中休憩しながら1時間半も遊んだらもう充分で、船に上がって着替えてゆっくりランチを食べました。送迎車が嫌いなので往復ともUberTAXIを利用。片道ワイキキから50〜60ドル。スタッフは少し日本語もできましたが、注意事項の説明とかは全部英語だったので、日本人向けに日本語で書いたものでもあったらもっと良かったと思いました。今回のハワイ旅行で一番の思い出になりました。

In addition to a wonderful manta ray sighting experience, we were also treated to a spinner dolphin show on the way. The crew were friendly, knowledgeable and great with our 7-year old. We really appreciated the smaller boat for a more intimate and personal experience. The hot chocolate on the way back was a really nice touch! Would absolutely recommend Iruka and we would go again with them next time we are back in Hawaii.
Just be patient with the sightings! We didn't get much activity with the mantas until right at the end and it was totally worth it.
Aloha Erin,

Upon arrival to the Luau we were greeted by a young lady selling beautiful purple lei’s. Of course we had to have one not only for the beauty, but the feeling of being welcomed in to the community as well.
The host/dancer/MC/ bartender was extremely friendly with everyone. We were ushered to our seats by a wonderful young man that not only performed at the luau, but also at Rock a Hula. This young man was full of passion for the culture and the love of dance.
The drinks and pineapple were at great start to our dinner as well as the traditional dancing while we waited for the main course.
There was plenty of dishes to chose from including seafood, pork, beef, chicken, and even vegetarian choices. I personally recommend the fried pig skin as it was the absolute most delectable dish we were privy to enjoy during our visit. After dinner we tried each of the 5 different desserts. None of them blow your socks off, but are nonetheless tasty as well. There is also after dinner coffee for those of you who enjoy a nice hot cup of Joe before the Rock a Hula.
You could order drinks during dinner and before the Rock a Hula began as well.
The choice of a local musician and singer was a wonderful way to start the show. The classic Elvis performance seemed to fit the show perfectly and added to the fun filled and interactive show. The only thing that felt out of place was the Michael Jackson performance. While it wasn’t bad, it just didn’t seem to fit in to the rest of the event in general. I would give the luau and Rock a Hula a 7 out of 10 stars.

Overall we got exactly what we were expecting, which, for us, was actually refreshing. So many businesses mislead these days. We were happy with our experience and pleasantly surprised at the Rock A Hula show afterwards.
Our first impression was great. The setup under the large tents and the decor and dishware were all very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and immediately served our complimentary Mai Tai and offered fresh pineapple at the table. We ordered more adult beverages and while they tasted fine, did not seem to have much if any alcohol in them. The MC did a good job of keeping things running smoothly and had an upbeat attitude. We enjoyed the dancers and learning to hula felt very welcoming. They presented the roasted pig with the traditional apple in its mouth. Definitely try some along with the crispy skin. We found the food at the buffet somewhat bland, but that was our experience throughout most of Hawaii.
After dinner we proceeded to the large theater for the show. This presentation is much bigger and longer than we anticipated. We would attend this show by itself without the dinner and pay handsomely for it. The Elvis and MJ impersonators were great! The charisma and crowd interactions of both of them and other entertainers were spot on! The show is a bit long and disjointed though. And while we do love MJ and his songs, some seemed a bit "off-brand" for a Hawaiian themed hula show. Thriller was one, even though the zombies were great and so was Michael.
Overall we'd give the luau and show a 7 out of 10. Food and drinks could be better and show could be shorter and more on-brand. We would still highly recommend it, especially for the price.
