On July 19th, during our trip to Hawaii, my family and I (a party of 12) attended the Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip.
From the start, the event felt more like a tourist trap than a cultural celebration. The performers wore plastic grass skirts and danced on astroturf, which cheapened the experience and made it feel like a stylized imitation rather than a tribute to Hawaiian tradition.
The buffet was just as underwhelming. The meats were dry and chewy, and several of us left our meals half-eaten. We all ended up searching for food elsewhere after the show.
When purchasing tickets, we noted that they included premier seating for the show—something we specifically chose so the younger members of our group could engage and see the performance clearly. However, we were seated near the back with no explanation. The seating appeared entirely random, and there was no effort to honor the premier designation.
The show itself was bizarre. It was supposedly a journey through Hawaiian music and culture, but the execution was confusing. While we expected an Elvis tribute, it felt like a full concert with song after song. Then came a Michael Jackson impersonator performing Thriller and several other full-length songs. We learned during the show that he once performed at Aloha Stadium, but the connection felt forced and irrelevant. A few of us dozed off, while others sat in disbelief trying to make sense of it.
The performance dragged on far too long. With a tighter runtime and focus on authentic Hawaiian culture, it could have been enjoyable. The fire dancer was the highlight, but came too late to redeem the evening.
Overall, this luau was inauthentic, overpriced, and not worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

There were various pools, slides, and dynamic attractions, and it was so much fun. The sun was intense, and I got sunburned. My body was covered with a rash guard, but since my face got wet, I think the sunscreen came off. My feet, which were in sandals, also got quite sunburned.
When going to the attractions, I took off my sandals and lined up. Many people left their sandals at the starting point. Once barefoot, the ground was so hot that it felt like I might get burned. But that too is a fun memory.
I didn't use a locker for my belongings. There were many chairs lined up near the wave pool, and I claimed a spot there to leave my things. (I carried my phone and valuables in a waterproof case.)
It was so much fun that I played without even having lunch!
いろんなプールや滑り台,ダイナミックなアトラクションがあって,とっても楽しかったです。
日差しがきつくて,日焼けもしました。体はラッシュガードでおおわれていましたが,顔は濡れてしまうので,日焼け止めもとれてしまうと思います。サンダルを履いていた足もしっかり日焼けしてしまいました。
アトラクションに行くときは,サンダルを脱いで並びます。たくさんの方が出発地点などに,サンダルを置いていきます。裸足になると,地面が熱くて,火傷しそうなくらいでした。でも,それも楽しい思い出の1ページです。
荷物はロッカーには預けませんでした。波のプールの近くにたくさんイスが並べてあり,そこで拠点となる場所取りをして,荷物も置いておきました。(携帯電話や貴重品は防水ケースに入れて持ち歩いていました。)
楽しすぎて,お昼ご飯も食べずに,遊びました!
到着したら,まず,拠点となる場所取りをしたらいいと思います!

It was very hot, but I had a great time. It seemed that there were few staff members who could provide guidance in Japanese at Sea Life Park, but there was one male staff member who was fluent in Japanese. He explained things to us beforehand and stayed nearby to assist during the experience, which was reassuring. The program with the dolphins was a valuable experience that you can't have in Japan.
When I got off the shuttle bus on the way there, I was anxious because there was no information about the return pick-up time; we were just dropped off. While I was at the Sea Life Park reception, the staff there informed me that the bus would depart at 2 PM.
とても暑かったですが,楽しかったです。
シーライフパークには日本語で案内できる方は少ないようでしたが,日本語が堪能な男性スタッフが一人いらっしゃって,事前に説明してくださり,体験している間も近くにいて補助してくださったので,心強かったです。
イルカとのプログラムは日本ではできない貴重な体験でした。
行きの送迎バスを降りたとき,帰りのお迎えの時間もこれからどうするかの何の案内もなく,ただおろされただけだったので,不安でした。わからないまま,シーライフパークの受付を行っていたら,受付の方から14時にバスが出発すると告げられました。
During the experience, I didn't wear a hat. I recommend taking proper sun protection measures. There is no roof over the area where you watch the dolphin show. I was using an umbrella until it started
体験中は帽子をかぶりませんでいした。
日焼け対策をしっかりすることをお勧めします。

The tour wasn't bad, but I was disappointed because the sandbar was "not what I expected‼️" I thought we would be able to land on a sandy beach, but there was none at all... We only stood in shallow water. Even though I could have tolerated water up to my ankles, it was actually deep enough to submerge me to my chest, so it felt like I was dropped into the sea 😭 I wanted to walk on the sandy beach, and to be more specific, I wanted to sit on the beach and eat a hamburger 💧 Eating a hamburger on a crowded boat... 💧 I can't even remember if it was delicious because I was so concerned about my surroundings.
ツアーは悪くは無いのですが、サンドバーが「思ってたんと違う‼️」とガッカリしました。砂の浜に上陸出来ると思っていたけど、砂の浜は皆無で、、、
浅瀬に立っただけでした。浅瀬といっても足首くらいの水なら我慢出来たけど、胸までゆうに浸かる海の中でしたので、海の中に落とされた感じです😭

The various workshops and experience events, such as lei making, really captured the Polynesian atmosphere and were enjoyable. My child was delighted to take pictures with a parrot.
The show was very authentic, featuring not only female dancers but also male hula dancers, and we enjoyed both traditional dances from various countries (hula kahiko and Tahitian 'ote'a) and contemporary dances (hula 'auana and Tahitian aparima). The dancers were very skilled, and it was not just a show dance but truly impressive. The hosts, singers, and backing musicians were also wonderful, and the food was delicious, making it a very memorable luau experience.
Although the entire presentation was in English and there was no Japanese support, I felt that using a translation app would solve any issues.

こどもはオウムと写真を撮れて喜んでいました。

I watched from the cheap seats at the back, but I could see everything and the atmosphere was perfect; it was amazing. It felt like watching Olympic gymnastics with perfect technique and an engaging structure, making the hour and a half fly by. On the first day of my trip, I was a bit drowsy before the 5:30 PM start, but once it began, I was wide awake and enjoyed it until the very end. I definitely want to see it again next time.

Since I was planning to head towards Kailua in the afternoon, I didn't arrange for a shuttle and used the city bus instead. I obtained a prepaid card called Holo Card, which is exclusive to city buses, before heading to the location. (At ABC, only one-day passes are sold, so it's better to purchase a rechargeable card at places like Seven-Eleven.) The city bus is used frequently during the trip, so it's preferable to get it on the first day. The bus arrived almost on time, but the air conditioning was strong, so a light jacket is necessary. The bus fare is quite reasonable at a daily maximum of $7.50 compared to other transportation options, making it recommended for those looking to save money. I feel that a taxi would cost around $50 to $60? In Hawaii, prices fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. Route searches can be done easily with Google Maps. I also used an app called DaBus2, but it seemed a bit difficult to use.
At the location, a Japanese guide (a local) provided explanations in Japanese, and although it was somewhat broken, it was understandable. There were a few Japanese tourists as well, so I think it's manageable even if you don't understand everything. You need to bring a copy of the consent form in advance, but even if you forget, they have it prepared there, so you can just head to the location without worry.
The sandbar was deep enough that when an adult (170 cm) stood, the water came up to just above their chest. I think it would be fine if the sun is out, but it can be a bit chilly, so having a rash guard would be reassuring.
During the round trip from He'eia Harbor to the sandbar, there were light snacks (donuts) and drinks (water, orange juice), and the performance by the two male musicians was quite good.
I would definitely like to use this plan again when I visit Hawaii.
午後にカイルア方面へ向かう予定だったため送迎はつけず、市バスを利用した。事前に市バス限定のプリペイド式決済カードのHoloカードを入手し、現地へ向かった。(ABCだと1日乗車券のみの販売だけなので、セブンイレブン等でチャージ式のを購入すると良い)。市バスは旅行中に利用する頻度が高いので、初日に入手が好ましい。バスはほぼ時間通りに到着したが、車内は冷房が効いており羽織るものが必要。バスは1日上限7.5$と他交通機関と比較するとかなり割安なため、節約したい方にはおすすめ。感覚ですがタクシーでも5〜60$くらい?ハワイは需供で料金の変動が激しい印象。経路検索はGoogleマップだけで問題なし。DaBus2というアプリも併用したが、やや使いづらい印象。
現地では日本語ガイド(現地の方)が日本語にて説明して下さり、カタコトではあったが十分理解可能。日本人観光客も何組かおり、分からなくてもなんとかなると思います。事前に同意書のコピーを持参する必要があるが、忘れても向こうで用意してあるので最悪そのまま現地に向かえば大丈夫です。
サンドバーは大人(170cm)が立つと胸から上が水面から出る程度の深さでした。日差しがあれば大丈夫だと思うが、やや肌寒いので、ラッシュガードがあれば安心。
ヘエイア港からサンドバーまでの往復の間、軽食(ドーナツ)、水分(水、オレンジジュース)があり、男性2人組の演奏がかなり良かったです。
またハワイに訪れる際には利用したいと思えるプランでした。

I participated in the sandbar tour that I had been curious about for a while. There was a slight breeze, but the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the shallow sea was very beautiful. While snorkeling, I was pleasantly surprised when a sea turtle came close to me. Additionally, most of the staff were women who spoke Japanese well (there were also Japanese people), which made me feel at ease with their bright and friendly demeanor. The snacks and drinks provided were also a delightful service.

The guide was fluent in Japanese and made some great jokes, which was a wonderful start! It was a tour that took us to places we wouldn't have been able to go on our own. The guide provided detailed information about each location's features and recommended shops, and after giving us a thorough tour from the car, they dropped us off, making it very convenient. I was really happy to see turtles in a place that wasn't even on the tour route. I would love to join again if I have the chance. Thank you very much!

I had an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations. I was simply overwhelmed by the majestic nature, and it was definitely worth the experience. The staff who guided us were all very fun (I think it would be even more enjoyable if you understand English). Driving the buggy through the great outdoors was also fun, and the two hours flew by. It takes about an hour from Waikiki, so having transportation included is definitely more convenient.

The shuttle bus was almost full, mostly with Japanese people. There were also Japanese crew members on the boat who provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
When standing on the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. They lend various items like stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and beach balls. First, we played with the equipment, and then we all went snorkeling over the coral reef. There was a note that said you should be able to swim, but I personally can't swim, yet it was fine because I floated with a life jacket. I think those who can swim will be okay with the flotation assistance, but it's at your own risk.
However, it was quite difficult to move forward since there were no fins. I was paddling like a dog, but my husband, who can swim, said, "I can't move at all..."
I was able to see a lot of sea turtles that I wanted to see, and it was so much fun! There were times when they were right in front of me, and since I couldn't move smoothly, I was flustered (laughs).
Including what I saw from the boat, I spotted about five or six turtles! The sea was incredibly beautiful, and even though it was expensive due to the weak yen, I’m really glad I participated.
送迎バスはほぼ満席で日本人がほとんどでした。船のクルーは日本人の人もいて英語と日本語でも案内してくれたので安心できました。
サンドバーの上に立つと腰あたりまで水がありました。sup、浮き輪、ビーチボールなど色んなものを貸してくれます。最初遊具で遊んでその後みんなで珊瑚礁の上をシュノーケリングしに行きます。注意事項に泳げる方とありますが実際私は泳げないのですが、ライフジャケットで浮くので問題ありませんでした。浮く補助があれば泳げる方は大丈夫かと思いますが自己責任で。
ただフィンがないので進むのは結構大変でした。私は犬かきで動き回ってましたが主人は泳げるのに「全然進めない…」と言ってました。

There is no place to change, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit and put on a T-shirt or shorts over it that you don't mind getting wet. You can just get on the bus as you are on the way back.

Since I hadn't booked many activities for this trip, I asked a local acquaintance for recommendations, and they mentioned that Cirque du Soleil, which just opened last year, is very popular. Although I hesitated a bit due to the cost, I decided to seize the opportunity and booked the best seats. From start to finish, this was the first show that truly engaged and entertained the audience. Most importantly, seeing the children leaning forward, their eyes sparkling, and sometimes bursting into laughter made me feel that the price was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!
今回の旅行ではあまりアクティビティを予約していなかったので現地で知り合いの方にお勧めを伺ったところ、シルクドソレイユは去年できたばかりでとても人気とのことで少し金銭面で迷いはありましたが、せっかくの機会なので1番いい席を予約しました。初めから最後まで、こんなにも観客を巻き込んで楽しませてくれるショーは初めてです。何より子供達が身体を乗り出し、目をキラキラさせ時には声をあげて爆笑している姿を見て、この金額は惜しくないと本心からそう思えました。お勧めです!
The venue isn't very large, but I recommend viewing it from the front. Since it was last minute, I couldn't choose my seat, but I heard that if you book early, you can select your seats.
それほど会場は広くないのですが、真正面から見ることをおすすめします。
直前だった為、座席を選べなかったのですが、早めに予約すれば席を指定できたようなことを聞きました。

My wife & I took our 3 daughters (17, 13, 9) on this excursion and it was amazing. The music was great, and the crew was awesome. Our youngest got a little chilly at times, but plenty of space to chill right off the back of the boat. Snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc. lots of fun.
Aloha Kevin
Thank you so much for the wondaful review.
We're so happy to hear that you and your family, including your three wonderful daughters, had such a memorable time with us. The crew loved having you on board, and we’re glad you enjoyed the music and all the fun activities. We're also pleased that your youngest could find a cozy spot to relax when it got a bit chilly.

I was really looking forward to the horseback riding experience. However, the horse assigned to me seemed to be in a bad mood from the start, and my bad feeling turned out to be true. The horse wouldn't listen to me and kept wandering off, and in the end, the instructor even clicked their tongue at me. Huh? Is it my fault?? The scenery was wonderful, though.
とても楽しみにしていた乗馬体験。しかしながら私にあてがわれた馬は最初からご機嫌ななめな感じで、嫌な予感がしたのが的中。なかなか言う事を聞いてくれず道草ばかりで、挙句の果てにインストラクターから舌打ちされる始末。え?私のせい??
景色は素晴らしかったです。

I participated in the 6:30 AM tour. I was more worried about seasickness than the sharks, as I had read in reviews that it could be severe. In the end, the boat and the cage did sway, but perhaps because it was morning, I managed to cope with the slight rocking. On the way back, I dozed off, but my child said they saw dolphins.
Regarding the number of sharks, I thought I wouldn't see many, but it seems there is a way to attract them, and we were able to see quite a few. The moment I first saw the silhouette glowing in fluorescent colors from the sunrise above the boat was the scariest, but since the sharks weren't charging at the cage, I was reasonably satisfied.
Additionally, I brought my own snorkeling set, as mentioned in the reviews. I also got to see the beautiful morning scenery of the North and saw plenty of sharks, so I was very satisfied with this experience.
朝6:30のツアーに参加しました。
口コミより、船酔いがひどいとあったので鮫よりもそちらの心配ばかりしていました。
結果、船もゲージも確かに揺れはしましたが朝だったおかげか多少の揺れで乗り切れました。帰りは居眠りしていたのですが、子どもが言うにはイルカも見えたようです。
鮫の量については、なんだかんだそんなに見られないかと思っていましたが、呼び寄せ方があるようでたくさん見ることができました。
先に船の上から朝日で蛍光色に浮かび上がるシルエットを見た時が1番怖さを感じたのですが、ゲージにガシガシ突進してくる鮫ではなかったので、程よく満足。
加えて、口コミにもあったのでシュノーケルセットは持ち込みました。
ノースの綺麗な朝の景色も見られ、鮫もたくさん見たのでこの1回で大満足です。
Just to be safe, it might be a good idea to bring candy and a snorkeling set. I didn't understand what was being said in the English explanation, but it simply means not to extend your arms and legs,
念のため飴とシュノーケルセットを持参すればよいかと。
英語の説明で何を言ってるかわからなかったのですが、単に手足を出すなと言うことと、足の置き場があるので、シュノーケルをセットしたら潜って見るだけです
Thank you for participating in the shark tour! We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour, especially encountering sharks and meeting dolphins on the way back. We believe that the details and advice from your experience will be helpful for other customers as well. Thank you for coming from afar, mahalo!

On July 29, there was a tsunami warning, and on July 30, the warning was lifted. However, on the morning of July 30, I received an email about the cancellation of the Hanauma Bay snorkeling shuttle. I imagine the tour company needed to gather information, but the details were unclear.
Since I had registered my mobile number at the time of booking, I received the cancellation email one hour prior, but it came on the morning of the day itself. We discussed as a family that it was understandable given it was the day after the tsunami warning.
After that, I took a chance and exchanged messages with the contact person via SMS, and I found out that there were three spots available for snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the next day, July 31. Becca from Kaimana Tours assisted us. Since all the other tour guests were conversing in English, I felt hesitant to express my gratitude in my limited English. I couldn't confirm if the person who provided the shuttle service that day was Becca. I appreciate Becca's assistance and would be grateful if you could convey my thanks.
7月29日に津波警報があり、7月30日は警報解除になりましたが、7月30日午前のハナウマ湾のシューノーケル送迎の中止のメールが当日朝きました。ツアー会社は情報収集する必要があったと想像していますが、詳細は不明でした。
予約時にスマホ番号登録しているので1時間前ですが当日朝に中止メールが来ました。津波警報の翌日でしたので仕方がないねと家族で話していました。
その後にダメ元で担当者様の連絡先にショートメールでやりとりを行ったところ、翌日の7月31日に空き枠が3名分あるとのことで翌日にハナウマ湾シュノーケリングができました。
Kaimana ToursのBecca様に担当していただきました。他のツアー客が全員、英語で会話していたので、拙い英語に気が引けてお礼を伝えることが出来ませんでした。当日の送迎していただいた方がBecca様かも確認できませんでした。Becca様のご対応に感謝しています。有り難うございましたと伝えていただけたら幸いです。
The ease of booking through the VELTRA app, the quick confirmation emails, and the reassurance of reminder emails (which are sent repeatedly, perfect for forgetful people! Haha) make it hard to consid
VELTRA様のアプリ予約のし易さ、予約確認のメールの迅速さ、リマインドメール(繰り返しあります。うっかり屋さんに必要。笑)の安心感など他社のオプショナルツアー予約は出来なくなりそうです。

Entering "Dolphin University" and officially becoming a graduate was the biggest event of the summer of 2025. With a courteous pick-up, we quickly arrived at Waianae Harbor from Ko Olina. We boarded right away, and Captain KURT's jokes eased the tension of the 28 new students, bringing smiles to everyone. Next, we held the solemn "Ehomai Ceremony" (a prayer before entering the sacred place). As time flowed leisurely, we cruised through the magnificent nature of the West Coast. Thanks to our prayers, we encountered many dolphins. Even Minako, a Japanese staff member, said, "Such days are rare." Near the harbor, a family of spinner dolphins came close to the boat, showing us their spinning jumps multiple times. We also encountered a rare pod of false killer whales offshore. It was truly moving. Above all, the crew's "dolphin love" was palpable. In the second class, "snorkeling," my wife had her first experience, and with Minako's support, she said, "It was so much fun. It was really great." We thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature. We also encountered sea turtles twice. I would love to participate in this tour again. I highly recommend it.
「イルカ大学」に入学し、晴れて卒業生の仲間入りとなったことは2025年夏の最大のイベントでした。丁寧な送迎でコオリナからはあっという間にワイアナエ港に到着。早速乗船しKURT船長のジョークを交えた挨拶で入学生28名の緊張もほぐれて皆笑顔に。続いて厳粛な「エホマイの儀式(聖地に入る前の祈り)」を行いました。ゆったりとした時が流れる中、雄大な自然が広がる西海岸で、大自然の中をクルーズ。お祈りのおかげ?で、私たちはたくさんのイルカ達と遭遇することができました。日本人スタッフのMinakoさんも「こんな日はめったにないです」というくらい。港の近くではハシナガイルカのファミリーが、ボートのすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれて、回転ジャンプを何度も見せてくれました。沖合では珍しいユメゴンドウ(鯨)の群れにも出会えました。感激しました。何より船長以下クルーの皆さんの“イルカ・ラブ”がひしひしと伝わってきました。2時間目の授業「スノーケリング」は、妻は初体験でしたが、Minakoさんのサポートで「凄く楽しかった。とても良かった」とのことでした。雄大な自然をたっぷりと満喫させて頂きました。ウミガメさんにも2度出会えました。またこのツアーに参加したいと思いました。お勧めします。
I think beginners should wear a wetsuit. Rentals are inexpensive at $10.
初心者は、ウェットスーツを着用された方がよろしいかと思います。レンタルが10ドルと安いです。

I couldn't understand what was being said for the English explanation, but they were very cheerful and it was a lot of fun. They occasionally took photos, which showed their thoughtfulness, and that was nice. Since the sand dust is quite intense, I think it's better for those who are concerned to wear clothes that can get dirty and cover their skin.
英語の説明のため、何をいっているかはわかりませんでしたが
明るく振る舞ってくれていて、非常に楽しかったです。
時折、写真を撮ってくれて気遣いもあり良かったです。
砂埃がすごいので、気になる方は、汚れても良い服装で肌を覆うもののほうがいいかと思います。

It was my first time at the sandbar, and although I felt a bit anxious with the slight wind, the sun peeked through, and I got to see a honu. I was also fortunate to have the best crew, including the captain, which made for an unforgettable experience.
Thanks to the crew member who provided detailed explanations in Japanese and showed great consideration, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind.
This was a tour I definitely want to join again when I come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
初めてのサンドバーで、風が少し吹いていたので、少し不安もありましたが、晴れ間も見え、ホヌにも会えて、また、キャプテン含め、最高のクルーの方々にも恵まれ、最高の思い出となりました。
特に日本語で丁寧に説明や、気遣いいただいたクルーの方のおかげで、安心して楽しむことができました。
また、ハワイに来た際には、絶対に参加したいと思うツアーでした。
