Proposal on Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: The Travel DRS

My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!

As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.

I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!

My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.

The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.

The Travel DRS give a 5**** to Hawaii Activities.
I will let other Travel Agents know about this site!

乗馬体験(0.5～2時間)　2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫！＜ガンストック牧場／現地集合＞

This is my fourth horseback riding location on Oahu. オアフ島では乗馬4箇所目で～す。

Reviewed by: ハワイでは必ず乗馬ファミリー

We are a family that always goes horseback riding in Hawaii. So far, we have ridden in one place on Kauai, three places on Oahu, one place on Molokai, one place on Maui, and one place on the Big Island. This year, we were planning to go horseback riding on Lanai, but we learned that Gunstock Ranch started offering rides last year. Considering the time saved by not having to travel to another island, we quickly booked an afternoon ride online.

After passing through Kahuku from the North Shore, we spotted the sign on the right after about five minutes! We turned right and climbed a bit up the mountain, arriving at a ranch that was completely untouched by tourism. Immediately, friendly dogs and sheep came to greet us. We made our way past the horses that were grazing in the back and found the guides, all of whom were women. After chatting, we learned that they were Mrs. Smith, the ranch owner, her daughter, and a part-time worker from Colorado who came to study at a university in Hawaii.

Although they didn't speak any Japanese, it felt like visiting a neighbor's house for check-in, creating a very homey atmosphere. As we started riding, it felt as if we had chartered the entire experience just for our family. We passed through the rodeo practice area and the training area for the horses, navigating through trees that made us feel like we were in an orchard. While riding, we picked and ate guava, and after climbing for an hour, we reached a viewpoint overlooking the North Shore, Kahuku, and the northeastern sea. We took commemorative photos and videos with this beautiful scenery as our backdrop, watching the sunset behind the mountains as it illuminated the southern part of Kahuku while chatting with our guide on the way back down to the ranch center in 30 minutes.

I wouldn't recommend this for first-time overseas riders, but for those who are tired of touristy horseback riding and can speak a little English, I think this is the best place on Oahu. We were treated to a beautiful sunset that made us forget we were even on Oahu.

ハワイでは必ず乗馬をするファミリー家族です。今までにカウアイ島で1箇所、オアフ島で3箇所、モロカイ島で1箇所、マウイ島で1箇所、ハワイ島で1箇所、今年はラナイ島で乗馬でもしようと計画していたところ、ここガンストック牧場で昨年からやり始めたとの情報を得、わざわざ離島まで行って乗馬することを考えればかなりの時間の節約と考えさっそくネットでアフタヌーン乗馬を予約。ノースからカフクを通り過ぎ約5分ぐらいで右手に看板発見！右折して山側にすこし登るとまったく観光化されていない牧場のたたずまい、早速人懐こいワンちゃんや羊がよって来て歓迎ムード、奥へ放牧されている馬さんたちをよけながら先に進みｶﾞｲﾄﾞさん？たちを発見、みなさん女性でお話をしたら牧場主のスミス婦人とそのお嬢さんとｺﾛﾗﾄﾞ州からハワイの大学へ来たアルバイトのお嬢さんの3人でした。まったく日本語は通じませんがまるでとなりの家へ遊びに行きチェックインも、アットホームな感じ、早速乗馬し我々家族だけのまるでチャーターしたみたいな一行は一路ロデオ練習場や馬を乗馬用になれさせる練習場を通り過ぎ山へ谷へ果樹園と思わせる木々の中を通り過ぎ馬上からグアバをもぎとり食べながら又山へ、1時間も登ると北はノースショアーからカフクそして北東の海海、この景色をバックに記念写真とビデオを撮り、山陰にかくれた太陽の夕日が先のカフクの南を照らすのを見ながらガイドとおしゃべりをしながら牧場中心地へ30分で下山。初めての海外乗馬の方にはお勧め出来ないが、観光乗馬に飽きた方、少し英語がお話できる方にはオアフ島では1番良いところと思います。オアフ島にいる事を忘れてしまいそうなきれいなサンセットを見させていただきました。

I took my girl on this 3 star dinner cruise and we had a really great time. She thought watching the sunset out by diamond head was really romantic - bonus points for me! I never ate a whole lobster before and it was awesome. The show was pretty sweet too because it is a small stage and they are really close to you and they have cool costumes.

Very Good

Reviewed by: Nancy

We went as a family. It was very good. We had a great time. Everything was very entertaining. There was enough time to go around and involve yourself in any of the different activities that you may want to without making feeling rushed or too long either where you might start thinking let's move this along. The backdrop of the ocean was breathtaking. There was a fantastic sunset which made for the best photos of a sunset over water I have ever taken.

The show during the dinner was very good and so colorful. The staff was friendly and cordial.

Only one suggestion...the drink coupons that can be used anytime. We and several people around us did not realize that you need to save one drink coupon for your meal. If you use up all your drink coupons before the meal then you have to by your drink for your meal...sodas being $3.00 each....so plan ahead if you want to use all you drink coupons before the meal. Food was very good...I especially liked the pig...it was yummy!

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

I decided to participate boldly. 思い切って参加してみました。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I hesitated to join because everyone else was foreign, but I wanted to experience the foreign atmosphere, so I participated. Even though I didn't understand the language, the bus ride was lively and fun. When we arrived, it was just the right time to see the beautiful sunset, and I was able to take lots of great photos. The night show was authentic. The food was a buffet, and there was plenty of it, with opportunities to go back for seconds. It can get cold outside at night, so I think it's a good idea to dress warmly. There were times when the lights were turned off to see the stars, and the night sky was incredibly beautiful.

他はみんな外人さんばかりなので参加をためらっていたのですが、外国の雰囲気を味わいたくて参加しました。言葉はわからなくてものりがよく楽しいバスの中でした。到着したらちょうど夕日がきれいに見える時間でいい写真がいっぱい撮れました。夜のショーは本格的でした。ごはんはバイキングですが、量はたっぷりあって途中でもおかわりに行けます。夜の外に長時間いると寒いのでいっぱい着込んでいくといいと思います。星を見るためか、真っ暗に照明をおとす時があったのですがとってもきれいな星空でした。

Reviewed by: Michael B

We went to the luau on Sunday 2/17 and had a wonderful time. We had a rental car so we didn't use the bus shuttle but it is a quick 45 minutes up H1 from Waikiki. We had our sons 19 and 15 and both enjoyed the activities before dinner and the show. Great music, great food...HUGE portions (we purchased the more expensive table service with front row seating which I would highly recommend as the wait staff and cocktail servers are fun and attentive), and a great luau show. When you go to the bar look for the bartender named Lizzie. She makes a superb upscale mai tai. We were seated so close during the show we could feel the heat from the flaming sword performer who was a show stopper...he is amazing. I would recommend and would go again.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

Truly a "paradise"! 本当に“パラダイス”!!

Reviewed by: ★Kailani★

On December 31st, I thought about wrapping up the year and chose the "Paradise Cove Luau"! I had been wanting to experience the traditional Hawaiian feast, "luau," for a while and had researched several places. In the end, I truly believe I made the right choice with "Paradise Cove Luau."

On the shuttle, everyone except us was foreign, and the guide on the bus spoke only English, but the atmosphere around us lifted our spirits, and we were able to enjoy the ride.

After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at "Ko Olina Resort." As expected from a resort, just being there made us feel incredibly comfortable and the ambiance was fantastic!

We received a welcome drink, a "Mai Tai," and took commemorative photos. From there, we could participate in various attractions and enjoy some free time. After that, the dinner show began.

In the second half of the show, the audience was invited on stage to dance, and there were segments that deepened the bonds of couples celebrating their weddings, whether newlyweds, five years, ten years, or twenty years together. I especially recommend this for couples.

After the show, we returned to the bus and were taken back to our hotel in Waikiki. On the way back, the guide entertained us again, and we truly had a wonderful time!

12月31日、1年の締めくくりに・・・と思い、この「パラダイスコーブルアウ」を選びました!
ハワイの伝統的な宴「ルアウ」を、前々から体験したいと思い、何箇所かリサーチしていました。
結果、この「バラダイスコーブルアウ」を選んで、本当に良かったと思っています。

送迎つきでは、往復は私達以外全て外国人、バス内のガイドも全て英語でしたが、周りの雰囲気、ノリで行きのバスからテンションup↑で行く事ができました。

バスで1時間弱、着いたところは「コオリナリゾート」。
リゾートと言うだけあって、そこに居るだけでも心地よい気分になれるほど、雰囲気抜群!

ウェルカムドリンクの「マイタイ」を貰い、記念撮影。
そして、そこから各自好きなアトラクションに参加、見物と、暫くは自由行動。
その後、ディナーショーが始まります。

ショーの後半は、観客も舞台に上がってダンスを踊ったり、
新婚さん、5年目、10年目、20年目＝・・・と夫婦の絆を改めて深め合える演出もあり、特にカップルで参加するにはほんとお勧めだと思います。

そして、ショーが終わって、おのおのバスに戻り、ワイキキのホテルまで送ってもらいました。
帰りのバスでも、またまたガイドさんが楽しませてくれ、
本当に楽しい一時を過ごせました♪

We had a great time! The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The actual location and grounds of the Luau are beautiful and we watched the sunset over the ocean. The dancers were very good, and our host, Linden, was absolutely wonderful. He is a crack up and came up with a lot of things to entertain us on the bus. The bar tenders were quick and you never had to wait long for drinks. Jasmine pours a killer Mai Tai. Also, the quality of the rum is good......no hangovers the next day.

Event was extremely well-organized... hard-working staff efficiently received, fed and entertained 800 guests in an outdoor venue over a brief timeframe. Optional transportation from Honolulu is advantageous because the guide promotes partying door to door and the bus driver is the designated driver. Buffet provided sufficient choices for a vegetarian!

Paradise Cove Resort パラダイスコーブルアウ

Reviewed by: 弘康

This is actually my third time participating in this activity. Why do I join the Paradise Cove Luau? It's because I really enjoy it, and I believe it's the best luau on Oahu.

First of all, I definitely recommend Paradise Cove to those who are visiting Hawaii for the first time. The reasons are: it's reasonably priced for what you get, there are hula lessons and activities for kids before the show starts, and they provide transportation to and from the hotel.

However, I can't say the food is particularly delicious; I recommend participating mainly for the show. The relatively tasty dish was the fried chicken. As for poi (mashed taro, a staple food for locals, similar to rice in Japan), it doesn't taste great on its own, but when eaten with lomilomi salmon, it actually becomes quite tasty. Eating it with side dishes is definitely better than just having rice alone.

You can also enjoy the sunset and stargazing, so I think you can experience a side of Hawaii that you won't find in Waikiki. If you're a first-timer, why not give it a try? I'm planning to bring someone who is visiting Hawaii for the first time again next year.

このアクティビティーに参加するのは実は3回目なんです。
なぜこのパラダイスコーブルアウに参加するのか？
それはもちろん気に入っているからですが、オアフ島では一番いいルアウだとおもいます。
まず私はハワイが初めてという方にこのパラダイスコーブルアウを必ず薦めます。
その理由は？内容の割りにリーズナブルであること。？ショーが始まる前にフラレッスンや子供向けのアクティビティーがあること。？ホテルまで送迎があることです。
ただし料理は特においしいとは言えませんあくまでショーを目的に参加されることをお勧めします。
料理で比較的美味しかったのはフライドチキンです。
ポイ（タロイモの磨り潰したもので現地の方の主食・日本の米のようなもの）の食べ方ですがそれだけ食べても美味しくないですがロミロミサーモンなどと一緒に食べると実は結構美味しいんです。米だけ食べるよりおかずも一緒に食べた方が美味しいでしょ。
サンセットや星空も一緒に楽しめるのでワイキキに無いハワイを楽しめると思います。
初めての方一度参加してみてはいかがですか？
私は来年またハワイ初めての方を連れて参加予定です。

I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!
