Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

It was an amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Evelyn

Loved the activity! The travel was not too long. Food was really good and we could go for seconds. I got the VIP package and it was definitely worth it because it gets you closer to the stage, two framed photos to take back home as well as 3 comp drinks and some additional swag. Overall it was a great experience, the show went on longer than expected but we were okay with it. Highly recommend!

Aloha Evelyn, First of all thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to write about your experience at our family luau! So happy to hear that you were pleased with your premier seating in our Plumeria package, and the extra amenities, or as you stated "additional swag". We're also glad that you enjoyed our delicious buffet, a variety of island favorites. We hope you will share your time at our luau with your family and friends back home, and hopefully you'll be able to come back to our beautiful island one day, and maybe even come back to visit us too!! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Good, Fun Event with a couple minor negative details

Reviewed by: Fred S

Let's start with the good. Crew was fabulous. Boat was great. Live music was excellent. Variety of activities was excellent--especially the banana boat and disc events--which I highly recommend you add to your experience. Paddle boarding and kayaks were also a nice option for the family. Food/drinks was good too.

The not so good--the snorkeling was just average because we were not allowed to have much freedom to explore. They should allow a time allotment for the extra perks so more can enjoy the extra activities. The main negative was the music they played traveling back to shore--although fun for young adults and old--not too great for my 7 y/o as there was not the consideration of having music with bad language being played for her to hear and ask questions.

Still a good experience overall and would do again IF the music was at least filtered a bit.

A BLAST!

Reviewed by: Olivia

The staff were so friendly and helpful! The band is also very talented and made our time during the boat ride even more enjoyable! We added the banana boat and bumper tube and it was well worth it! Snorkeling was our favorite and we would definitely go again. The sandbar was so beautiful and so enjoyable! 10/10 recommend!!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Chill and relaxing trip

Reviewed by: Nina Gal

Very friendly crew and overall a good experience. Just a bit too crowded in the boat especially while we are still in a pandemic.
The boat was clean overall and great music played on our way there and way back. Lunch was fresh and nice. Overall a good experience with the ability to choose what you wanna do. Kayaking was fun and other options to paddle board or snorkel. No sea life since the coral reefs are dead unfortunately.

シーライフパーク・ハワイ イルカと触れ合える人気プログラムは選べる3プラン 海の生き物への餌やり体験、イルカやアシカのショーなど充実の園内<送迎付きプランあり>

I definitely recommend Sea Life Park over the zoo and the aquarium! 動物園より、水族館より、シーライフパークが断然オススメです!

Reviewed by: まりこ

The COVID-19 measures were such that only the staff were wearing masks outdoors, but since online reservations were required and there was likely a limit on the number of visitors, the park was not too crowded, naturally avoiding the three Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, close-contact settings). Alcohol disinfectant gel was installed throughout the park, and it was available for use whenever needed. The food court had tables spaced apart, which was reassuring, and I enjoyed a delicious American-style lunch at Naked Dog with self-service ketchup, mustard, and relish (chopped pickles).

For the main event, the Dolphin Encounter, my 9-year-old son participated alone while I filmed from outside the enclosure. He had no trouble with English, so it wasn't necessary, but a kind Japanese-American staff member offered to provide translation if needed, so I believe those who are anxious about their English can participate without any issues. Commemorative photos with the dolphins were available for purchase in two sets of four photos, with one photo costing $35, and for $65, you could get two large prints, two small prints, and all the digital data included. The ticket I purchased included one photo ($35 value), so I paid the additional $30 to get the package that included all the data. It turned out that I needed to have received a photo coupon at the entrance, which I hadn't, and I was told to go get it. However, the aforementioned kind staff member said, "Don't worry, I'll go get it," and promptly returned from the entrance with the coupon, which was a great help. I hope that kind staff member continues to work there for the benefit of future Japanese tourists visiting Sea Life Park.

I entered the giant birdcage with no expectations, but feeding the colorful birds turned out to be unexpectedly fun. The staff gave me handmade feeding sticks, and when I held the stick horizontally, the birds, accustomed to people, would hop on to eat. Even someone like me, who isn't particularly fond of birds, found it so enjoyable that bird lovers might not want to leave.

コロナ対策は、屋外では係の方々しかマスクはしていませんでしたがオンラインでの事前予約が必要で恐らく人数制限がある為園内はそれほど混んでおらず自然と三密は避けられていました。園内のいたる所にアルコール除菌ジェルが設置してあり気になった時には随時使えました。園内のフードコートはテーブル同士が離れており安心でしたし、naked dogにセルフサービスのケチャップ、マスタード、レリッシュ(刻みピクルス)をのせザ・アメリカンな美味しいランチをいただきました。

メインイベントのドルフィンエンカウンターは9歳の息子1人で参加し親は柵の外でビデオを撮っていました。息子は英語に不自由しなかった為不要でしたが日系人の親切な男性の係の方が必要ならば通訳をと申し出て下さいましたので、英語に不安のある方でも問題なく参加できると思います。イルカとの記念写真は2カット計4枚が購入可能で、1枚だけだと$35、$65払うとプリント大2小2枚+データが全て含まれたパッケージでした。今回購入したチケットには写真1枚($35相当)分が含まれていたので、差額分$30を払ってデータも全部含まれるパッケージを購入しました。その際どうやら入園時に入口で写真クーポンとやらをもらっていなければならなかったそうなのですがもらっておらず取りに行ってと言われましたが、前述の親切な日系係員の方が『Don't worry I'll go get it』と颯爽と園内を入口まで戻ってクーポンを取ってきて下さり大変助かりました。今後シーライフパークを訪れる日本人観光客の為にもあの親切な係の方が長く働き続けてくれる事を祈ります。

全然期待していないで入った、巨大な鳥籠内でカラフルな鳥に餌をあげたのが予想外に楽しかったです。手作りの餌棒を係の方がくれ、その棒を横にして持つと人に慣れた鳥が飛び乗って餌を食べに来ます。特に鳥好きではない私でもあんなに楽しかったので鳥好きの方は出られなくなるかもしれません。

Kaneohe sandbar

Reviewed by: Kathy

Absolutely breathtaking beautiful clear water. The live band and crew were amazing. The tide was very low so we were not able to do much snorkeling here, although we did see a few different varieties of fish. This was mostly a place to enjoy the water, views, and have some beverages in the sun. A must see when visiting Oahu.

This was an amazing trip and we had a wonderful guide Jo-jo who was super knowledgeable about all aspects of hawaii cultural, history, plants, food, birds etc...The bus was nice and air conditioned and the time stopping off at each location was just right. An 11 hour day is a long day but it didn't feel like it because we were so loving every step of the trip and jojo's stories and support was great!

The transportation to and from the place makes it such a smoother process! Everyone on the crew were really amazing and sweet! We had so much fun and it's definitely something everyone should do if it's their first time visiting. The only thing is that they don't have towels, so bring your own!

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.

Reviewed by: Midweek

This is not your regular Luau event that you go to. My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary and it’s his first trip after 35 years. I was surprised to know that I was not only watching or going to a luau but also going to a comedy show. Chief was amazingly great! His delivery was superb and did not seem rehearsed but was very natural. The staff (i feel bad that I didn’t get his name :( but he was great) took care of a mishap that happened and was very professional. Everyone was so great and I will definitely go back and tell my friends to make sure to see Chiefs Luau.

マリンスポーツパッケージ 4つのアクティビティ(カヤック、SUP、トランポリン、ウォータースライダー)とシュノーケリングが遊び放題!貸切プランあり<ケワロ湾>

In the ocean 海の中は

Reviewed by: yudai

First, the prior guidance about the location of the check-in counter was poor. I entered the address into Google, but there was no counter there. I asked a nearby fisherman, who told me it was not there but over there. However, I had a hard time finding the counter with the name of the activity organizer. Just when I was about to ask where the organizer's location was, the lady at the counter called my name, and I finally arrived.

As for the activity itself, it was different from what I expected. The snorkeling in the rough waves had very little to see underwater; aside from a sea turtle, there were only two types of fish that appeared alternately, so there were hardly any fish at all. The water was murky, and I couldn't see even a meter ahead. The water slide was only worth doing once. On the water trampoline, I couldn't really bounce; I just lay there sunbathing. It felt nice, and I ended up falling asleep, which was the most luxurious part of the experience. While I think it was good to have had a unique experience, I wouldn't recommend it.

まずチェックインカウンターの場所の事前案内が雑。住所をGoogleに入れて行ったが、そこにはカウンターは無い。近くの漁業関係者に聞いてここではなく、向こうだと言われ行くも、アクティビティ主催者の名前のあるカウンターがなかなか見つからない。たまたまここの主催者の場所はどこか聞こうとしたところ、カウンターのお姉さんが自分の名前を呼んでくれたので、ようやく辿り着きました。アクティビティ自体は期待してたのとは違い、荒波の中のシュノーケリングで、水中を除いてもウミガメはもちろん、魚も2種の魚がかわりばんこに出てくるぐらいで、ほとんどいません。水中も濁っていて、1m先も見えない状況でした。ウォーター滑り台も一回やれば十分。水上トランポリンではトランポリンできるはずもなく、ただ寝そべって日焼けごっこ。気持ちよくて寝てしまったがそれが1番贅沢でした。貴重な経験ができたのでよかったとは思いますが、おすすめはしません。
