Considering the winter activities, how was it? I participated knowing that visibility might be limited, but I was really disappointed because I could only see a small glimpse of the whales far away, and it wasn't clear enough to capture a photo. Although the whales were hard to see, I thought it might not be a bad tour if I considered it as a walk on the boat.
冬ならではのアクティビティのわりには、いかがなものでしょうか。
見えない場合もあるのは承知の上、参加しましたが、
本当に遠くに小さく、一瞬見えただけで、とても写真におさめることもできず、肉眼ではっきりみえたわけでもないので、がっかりですね。
ホエールは見えにくかったけれど、船の船上散歩と考えれば、悪くないツアーかな???と思いました。

I participated because I wanted to try garlic shrimp and go horseback riding.
North Shore (Haleiwa) Valley Horseback Riding Plan
I was picked up at the hotel and headed to the North Shore, stopping by the Dole Plantation before arriving in Haleiwa. Before horseback riding, I aimed for the garlic shrimp at Camaron—it's a Japanese restaurant, and the shrimp was plump and creamy; I finished it in no time (laughs).
From here, we split into the horseback riding group and those who wanted to explore Haleiwa. The couple leading the horseback riding was very bright and friendly; the husband was a former polo league player. After a brief lecture, we set off right away. No helmets were required, which felt refreshing, and we rode through the forest, which was an exhilarating experience.
The horses are well-trained, so I think even beginners can enjoy it.
After horseback riding, we returned to Haleiwa, and if you're lucky, you can go to a beach where sea turtles are present. We were lucky to see two turtles on the beach! It seems the chances are higher in the afternoon.
A word of caution: since they are protected animals, you shouldn't get closer than 3 meters or touch them, as there is a fine for that.
It was the best tour!
目的はガーリックシュリンプと乗馬をしたかったのて参加しました。

On the 1:30 PM cruise, it mentioned that "light snacks" were included in the price. I was expecting something like sandwiches, but it turned out to be just potato chips and cookies. I think it would be better to describe this as snacks rather than light meals. However, the beer was unlimited. Of course, we also saw whales. Ah, I'm so hungry!!!
午後1時30分のクルーズで、料金に含まれているものの中に「軽食」とありました。サンドイッチくらいでるのかな、と思っていたら、なんとポテトチップとクッキーのみでした。これでは軽食でなくお菓子と記載した方が良いと思います。でも、ビールは飲みほーだいでした。もちろん、クジラも見えました。あー、腹減った!!!

Unfortunately, the sandbar had water levels around my thighs. Because it was cloudy, the water wasn't the beautiful blue color I had hoped for. Sadly, I also didn't see any sea turtles. This tour relies heavily on nature, so there's a strong element of luck involved. I think first-time visitors to Hawaii might enjoy other activities more. If the weather had been good, I believe it would have been an amazing tour!
サンドバーは残念ながら太ももあたりの水かさでした。
曇りだった為、水も綺麗な水色ではなく残念でした。
ウミガメも残念ながら見れませんでした。

Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour the other day. The sandbar is a mysterious space created by various natural conditions coming together. It shows different expressions depending on the day and time. Please come visit us again when you are in Hawaii. We all look forward to that day from the bottom of our hearts.

This was my first time participating. From a distance, the 110m height looked quite intimidating, but once I actually tried it, I felt a rush of excitement and had a lot of fun. Since we were in a small boat and the waves were a bit high, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before joining. The crew members were also a fun bunch, and they made the activity enjoyable with their lively spirit. They provide explanations in Japanese, so I think you can relax and enjoy yourself. It was a bit cloudy and chilly, so I think having a jacket or a bath towel would be helpful. They also accommodate requests like wanting to stay completely dry or wanting to get your legs wet. I would love to participate again!

I wanted to experience horseback riding, so I searched online and found this page. I was unsure about the shuttle service, but since there weren't many options and it seemed like there would be a long wait, I decided not to include it.
At the beginning, there was an explanation in Japanese about how to guide the horses, so I felt reassured. I chose the one-hour course, which was just the right length, and I enjoyed it while looking at the ocean.
I took the city bus to the ranch, and the bus stop was close, so there were no issues. It was great to have the ocean right in front of me.
乗馬を体験したいと思いネットを検索したらこのページを見つけました。
送迎付きか迷いましたが、あまり本数がなく待ち時間が長そうだったので送迎はつけませんでした。

It was cloudy, not rainy, on the day of the trip. I was happy to see more sea turtles than I expected. I even saw baby sea turtles! I thought the sandbar was a bit disappointing as it was only about waist-deep, making it feel more like an island. However, I was satisfied with the snorkeling and saw a lot of fish. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to explore the sandbar properly and snorkel a bit longer. It was a little chilly that day, so I appreciate the consideration shown.

Upon entering, we first went to put our luggage in a locker. It's located immediately to the left after passing through the gate. The large locker was $18 and the small one was $13. Since there were four of us in the family and we had four bath towels, we opted for the large locker. It was just big enough to fit all our belongings. The payment for the locker is done using a machine in front, which also offers a Japanese language option, making it easy to understand without confusion. However, if you pay in cash, be careful as the machine shows how much change you will receive, and it seems that it won't give more than that amount.
I read in reviews that it's best to have lunch right after entering, so we had lunch first. The staff at the food stand were friendly and kind, confirming our order two or three times, but as others have mentioned, they were quite laid-back. When we passed by during lunchtime, there were more than ten people in line, so I thought it would take a while at that pace.
I noticed that the schedule for each attraction wasn't posted at the entrance, which was a bit surprising, but on the day we visited, all attractions were operating without breaks. Since it was a Monday, it wasn't crowded, and we were able to enjoy unlimited rides smoothly. It was thrilling, and the kids (a 2nd-year middle schooler and a 3rd-year high schooler) were very happy and had a great time.
I personally would love to go again.
入場して、まず荷物をロッカーに入れに行きました。ゲートを入ってすぐ左手にあります。大18ドル、小13ドルでした。私たちは、家族4人でバスタオルも4枚持っていたので大にしました。全部の荷物がギリギリ入る大きさでした。ロッカーの清算は、前にある自販機のようなものでします。日本語も選べて分かりやすく迷う事もありませんでした。しかし現金で払う場合は、お釣りがあと何ドル出るのか表示されていて、それ以上のおつりが出ないようなので気をつけて下さい。
口コミで、入場したらすぐにランチを食べた方がいいと書かれていたので、まずランチを食べました。売店の方は、愛想はよく親切で2、3回注文を確認してくれましたが、みなさんが書かれている通り、のんびりとしていました。お昼の時間に前を通ったら10人以上は並んでいたので、あの調子だと時間がかかるだろうなと思いました。
各アトラクションのスケジュールが玄関に掲示されてなく、あれ?と思いましたが、私たちが行った日は、全部のアトラクションが休憩することなく行われていて、月曜日ということもあり混雑することもなく、乗り放題で順調に全部のものに乗れました。スリルがあり子供たち(中学2年、高校3年)もとても楽しかったと喜んでいました。
私自身もまた行きたいなと思います。

In the morning, when I went out to the hotel entrance before the pickup time, the shuttle bus was already there. After confirming my name, they wrapped a paper with the return bus number and time around my wrist. The guide seemed to only speak English and informed us that there would be an explanation from a Japanese-speaking guide once we arrived. The pickup time was 9:35 AM, and the bus departed at 9:43 AM. We arrived smoothly around 10:25 AM without getting caught in traffic.
Upon arrival, a guide who spoke Japanese provided explanations. They checked names in order while handing out tickets for entry. Although they said the e-voucher was not necessary, it was confirmed, so it was smoother for those who had it, even though some did not.
At the entrance, they checked our bags, and it seems that no food or drinks were allowed except for one unopened bottle of water per person. The day was enjoyable and passed by in no time.

到着すると日本語の出来るガイドの方が説明をしてくれました。名前を順番に確認しながら、チケットを受け取って中に入場しました。eバウチャーはいらないということでしたが、一応、確認されますので、持っていない方もいらっしゃいましたが、持っていた方がスムーズにいきます。

It's a zipline experience in a beautiful farm that stretches as far as the eye can see. I was torn between this and Kualoa, but considering just the zipline, I think this was the better choice. In between ziplines, you cross suspension bridges and climb ropes. Since this place focuses solely on ziplining, if you want to combine it with other activities like horseback riding or jeeping, Kualoa might be a better option. When I went, there were no staff who spoke Japanese, and I was the only Japanese person, but the staff and other participants were friendly. According to the cheerful bus driver, there were even Japanese grandmothers who couldn't speak any English but participated using gestures. Since I was there alone, a family of five from Australia looked out for me, and other American participants often struck up conversations. Even if your English is limited, it's perfectly fine to initiate conversation or ask the staff for help when needed.
見渡す限り広がる美しい農場の中でのジップラインです。クアロアと迷いましたが、ジップラインだけで考えると、こちらで良かったと思います。ジップラインの合間に、吊り橋を渡ったり、登り棒ならぬ登り紐を登ったりします。ここは、ジップラインだけを遂行しているので、乗馬やジープなど、他のアクティビティと合わせたい場合は、クアロアが良いかもしれません。私が行った時は、日本語が話せるスタッフは辞めてしまっていて、日本人も私だけでしたが、スタッフや回りの参加者はフレンドリーでした。陽気なバスの運転手さんによると、英語が全く話せない日本人のお婆さん達も身振り手振りで参加したりしていたみたいです。私は、一人参加でしたので、オーストラリアの家族5人が気にかけてくれて、他のアメリカ人参加者もよく話かけてくれました。片言でも、自分から話かけたり、助けて欲しい時は遠慮なくスタッフに声をかければ大丈夫ですよ。

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.
I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

I participated with my 6-year-old daughter. Of course, the trainer spoke English, so I was worried about my limited listening skills, but they kindly taught us using body language, which made it a lot of fun. It might be reassuring to have some basic swimming skills. The dolphins were truly adorable, and both my daughter and I were captivated. Although it was only 25 minutes, I think it was just the right amount of time for a 6-year-old in terms of physical stamina. The next day, my daughter seemed to have the best memories, as she didn't want to leave the dolphin lagoon at all.

Dear Tomorin,
Thank you for joining our tour with six people. The conditions on that day were perfect, with calm waves and great visibility, so we took you out to the open water. Right after we set out, we spotted a turtle. After returning your friend who wasn't feeling well back to the beach, we headed out again. We saw another turtle at Witch's, and before heading back inside, we encountered yet another turtle at Black Point. It was a truly lucky day to see turtles at every stop!

We participated as a couple. There were about five groups at the same time, but only one other group was Japanese besides us. The guide explained everything in Japanese.
I have a fear of heights, but after seeing the experiences here, I booked the 150m jump. Watching others jump made me regret not choosing a lower height... However, since the view was just the sea as far as the eye could see, I surprisingly didn't feel the height and wasn't scared.
What was more challenging was the seasickness. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but it was still tough, so I think it's better to avoid scheduling meals before the activity or plans after the flight.
The flight lasted just over five minutes, but we enjoyed it. The weather was a bit bad, so I want to try again when the weather is nice!
夫婦で参加しました。
同じ時間帯には5組ほどでしたが日本人は私たちともう一組だけ。ガイドのお兄さんは日本語で説明してくれました。
高所恐怖症なのですがこちらの体験談を見て150mで予約。他の人が飛んでいるのを見て「やっぱりもっと低いのにすればよかった…」と後悔しましたが、見渡す限り海なので意外と高さは感じず怖さはなかったです。
それよりも船酔いで大変でした。私たち夫婦は事前に酔い止めを飲んでいましたがそれでも辛かったので、アクティビティ前の食事やフライト後に予定を入れるのは控えた方がいいと思います。
飛行時間は5分少しですが楽しめました。少し天気が悪かったのでまた天気が良い時にリベンジしたいです!

You can make a reservation from the Kualoa website, but I was anxious about entering my credit card information on a first-time and overseas site, so I booked through this site from Japan. I scheduled my reservation for 10:45.
On the day of the visit, I purchased a one-day pass for THE BUS from Waikiki and took the No. 8 bus to Ala Moana Center around 8 AM. I got off at Ala Moana Bl + Ala Moana Center and took the No. 55 bus from the bus stop right in front. After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, I arrived at Kamehameha Hwy + Opp Kualoa Ranch at 9:30.
I passed through the front shop and handed my voucher at a kind of general counter. The lady at the reception said, "Eleven forty," and I thought, "11:45? But my reservation is for 10:45!" I kept saying, "No! Ten forty!" but she kept responding with "Eleven forty." I was frustrated, but since I could only speak basic English, I had no choice but to back down. I spent a wasted two hours eating a hamburger in the cafeteria and taking pictures with horses.
At 11:45, there was a simple horseback riding explanation in Japanese video. We started riding around noon, wandering through the mountains. It was a mountain and sea course for one hour, but mostly on mountain paths. However, it was a fun hour.
The weather was just right for this time of year, and I was perfectly fine in a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and sneakers. However, it might be cold if it rains. Also, be careful as the raincoats they lend you are dirty.
I thought the start time was strange, and when I returned to the hotel and checked the voucher on the site, it said, "Check-In Time: 10:45." In small letters above it, it said, "Kualoa Ranch Horseback Ride/11:45." The receptionist was correct!
However, I was sure I had booked for 10:45 on VELTRA, so I checked the Kualoa Ranch page on the VELTRA site.
When I clicked on the start time of 10:45 on the application screen, it said, "Check in at the Kualoa Ranch ticket office at 10:15," "Enjoy your horseback riding time at 10:45," "There will be a Japanese video briefing," and "Activity ends at 11:45."
Something seems off...
...I got it!
When you book for 10:45, the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:15, and if the start time on the site is 11:45, then the voucher's Check-In Time becomes 10:45.
It’s unclear whether there was a communication issue from VELTRA to Kualoa or if my reservation for 10:45 was full and pushed to 11:45. If the card you receive in exchange for the voucher is for 11:45, then after going to the stables at 11:45 and a 10-minute explanation, the horseback riding time would be from 12:00 to 1:00.
The horseback riding and atmosphere were ★★★★★, the cafeteria was not clean ★★★, the price of $88 without transportation was too high ★★, and the man at the entrance information counter could speak a little Japanese ★★★.
With 1.5 hours of bus travel + 2 hours of waiting + 1.5 hours of horseback riding (including explanation) + 1.5 hours of bus travel + 0.5 hours of bus waiting, the total is 7 hours! Just one hour of horseback riding took 7 hours! Considering the precious travel time, the cost performance is ★. Overall ★★.
The bus indeed takes time.
It might be best to rent a car and visit Kualoa + Polynesian + North Shore in the morning, or Kualoa + Kailua (Lanikai) + Sea Life Park + Blowhole in the morning.
I apologize for the lengthy message.
クアロアのHPからでも予約できますが、
初めてのサイト&海外サイトにクレカ情報を入力するのに不安がありましたので、日本からこのサイトで予約しました。
予約は開始10:45にしました。
当日、ワイキキからTHE BUSの1日券を購入して、クヒオ通り8時頃のアラモアセンター行きNo.8に乗車。
Ala Moana Bl + Ala Moana Centerで降り、
すぐ前方のバス停からNo.55のバスに乗ります。
約1時間30分でKamehameha Hwy + Opp Kualoa Ranch下車して9時半に到着。
正面売店を通り抜けて総合カウンターみたいなとこでVOUCHERを渡します。
そこで受付のおばさんから「イレブンフォーティ」と…
11:45?…予約は10:45だぞ! 「ノー!テンフォーティ!」
何度も「テンフォーティ!」と言いましたが、「イレブンフォーティ」との返事。
ムカつきましたが、単語英語しか話せない私は引き下がるしかありません。
食堂でハンバーガーを食べたり馬の写真撮ったりして、無駄な2時間を過ごしました。
11:45から日本語ビデオにて簡単な乗馬の説明。
12時頃から乗馬。山の中をウロウロとします。
山+海コース<1時間>ですが、ほとんど山道ばかりです。
でも楽しい1時間でした。
気候的にはこの時期がちょうど良い気温で半袖、短パン、運動靴で全然平気です。
でも雨が降れば寒いかも。また貸してくれるカッパは汚いですから注意。
それにしても開始時間が変だと思い、
ホテルに帰ってからサイトでVOUCHERを確認したところ、
「Check-In Time:10:45」
その上に小さい字で「Kualca Ranch Horseback Ride/11:45」????
ネットで訳すと「クアロア牧場乗馬11:45」!!受付嬢が合っていた!
しかしVELTRAで確かに10:45で予約したはずと、
申し込んだVELTRAサイトのクアロア牧場を確認してみました。
申し込み画面の開始時刻10:45をクリックすると
「10:15 クアロア牧場内チケットオフィスにてチェックイン」
「10:45 乗馬での楽しい時間をお過ごしください。」
「日本語ビデオのブリーフィング(説明)があります。」
「11:45 アクティビティ終了」
何かおかしい…
…わかりました!
開始時刻10:45で申し込むとVOUCHERのCheck-In Timeが10:15になり、
サイトの開始時刻を11:45とするとVOUCHERのCheck-In Timeが10:45になるワケ。
VELTRAからクアロアへの伝わり方に問題があるのか、
10:45開始の予約がいっぱいで11:45にまわされたのか不明です。
VOUCHERと引き換えに貰うカードが11:45なら、
11:45に馬小屋に行き約10分の説明後、
12時から13時までの1時間が乗馬TIMEとなります。
乗馬と雰囲気は☆5
食堂が綺麗で無く☆3
料金は送迎無しで88ドルは高過ぎで☆2
入口の案内カウターのおじさんが日本語を少しできるので☆3
バス移動が1時間半+待ち時間2時間+乗馬(説明)1.5時間
+バス移動1時間半+バス待ち0.5時間で
合計7時間!たった1時間の乗馬に7時間!
貴重な旅行期間中と考えれば、コスパは☆1です。
総合☆2
やはりバスは時間がかかります。
レンタカーを借りて朝いちクアロア+ポリネシア+ノースショアを周るか、
朝いちクアロア+カイルワ(ラニカイ)+シーライフパーク+潮吹き岩に行くのが
ベストでは無いでしょうか。
長々と失礼しました。

It was our first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We used this tour to visit Kualoa Ranch, which has been a filming location for Jurassic Park and many other movies! Compared to many other tour companies, this one was more affordable, and the experience was the same.
We boarded a large bus at the pickup location (our hotel) in the morning, and since it was early, everyone on the bus was sleeping. During the ride, we filled out a survey for our desired activities, and upon arrival, we were given a schedule for the day. Each person then went to the designated meeting points for their chosen activities.
We chose the movie location tour, jungle exploration, and ocean voyage tour. On the movie location tour, we were able to take photos next to that famous tree from Jurassic Park. The Japanese explanations at various filming points were very clear and helpful. The jungle exploration was guided in English, but it was still enjoyable even with a basic understanding! Here, we were taken to several filming locations, which were different from those on the movie location tour, and personally, I found this part to be even more impressive. The ocean voyage involved getting on a boat and heading out to sea, where we saw many sea turtles, which was truly satisfying. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, so it would have been even more amazing if it had been sunny!
Horseback riding and the buggies also looked like a lot of fun. I would love to use this tour again!
新婚旅行でのはじめてのハワイでした。
ジュラシックパーク、ワールドや数々の映画のロケ地になっているクアロアランチにこちらのツアーを利用して行ってきました!たくさんのツアー会社のものと比較してもこちらの方が割安!体験内容も変わりありません。
朝迎えの大型バスにピックアップ場所(滞在ホテルでした)で乗り込み、クアロアランチへ。朝早いのもありバスの中はみんな寝ています。バスの中で希望するアクティビティのアンケートを取り、現地に到着した際に1日の予定表を渡され、各自で各アクティビティの集合場所に行き体験するといった感じでした。
我々は、映画ロケ地ツアーとジャングル探検、オーシャンボヤージツアーを選択。映画ロケ地ツアーではジュラシックパークで有名なあの木の側で写真が撮れます。また様々な撮影ポイントで日本語の説明をしてくれるのでとてもわかりやすかったです。ジャングル探検では英語ガイドでしたがなんとなくの理解でも楽しめます!ここでも数カ所ロケ地に案内されますが、どれもロケ地ツアーとは別のところで個人的にはこちらの方が凄かったです。オーシャンボヤージも船にのり海に出ますが、船上からウミガメが沢山見れ本当に満足いくものでした。天気があいにくの曇り空でしたので、晴れていたらもっと素晴らしかったことでしょう!
乗馬や、バギーもとても楽しそうでした。また利用させていただきたいです。

It was my first trip to Hawaii for my honeymoon. There were places we couldn't visit during this trip, so we decided to see them from the sky and signed up for a tour. It was the right choice! The weather was clear, and while Hawaii is beautiful from the ground, seeing it from above was even more stunning and truly a wonderful experience. The pilot was also a lovely person, providing excellent service. They frequently checked in with us, asking if everything was good or okay, and even though I don't speak much English, there was so much that was communicated through the atmosphere. I chose the option without a window, but I really felt the wind and the grandeur, which I highly recommend. It was a tour I would love to use again!
新婚旅行でのはじめてのハワイでした。今回の旅では回りきれない所があり、どうせだったら空から見てしまおうとツアーに申し込みました。正解でした!天気は快晴、地上から見るハワイももちろん素敵ですが、上空からみるそれは更に素敵で本当に素晴らしい体験になりました。パイロットも素敵な方で、サービス満点でした。度々good?とかok?とかこちらを気遣ってくれ、英語があまり喋らなくても雰囲気で伝わるものが沢山ありました。今回窓なしをチョイスしましたが直に感じる風だったり壮大さは本当に感じられ、オススメしたいポイントです。
また利用したいツアーでした!

I challenged myself to 150 meters. It was my first time, but the local instructor efficiently helped me put on the equipment, so I was able to ride smoothly. I was a bit disappointed that the time was shorter than I expected, but it was a fantastic experience, and I definitely want to do it again! The service that takes photos (for a fee) was also great.
150メートルに挑戦しました。
初めてでしたが現地のインストラクターの方が手際よく器具をつけてくれたのでスムーズに乗れました。
時間が思ってたより少し短かったのが残念でしたがとてもらいい体験になり、ぜひまたやりたいと思っています!
写真を撮ってくれるサービス(有料)があるのもよかったです、

This was my second trip to Hawaii, and this time I was excited to add my son for our first family trip to Hawaii. I quickly signed up for the Rock-a-Hula show. To be honest, I was anxious about what kind of show it would be and whether the meal would be satisfactory, but those worries were completely unnecessary. It was truly the best show and dinner, creating wonderful memories.
The venue is located in the heart of Honolulu, inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, so we arrived without getting lost. When I showed the voucher at the reception, they gave me a backstage tour pass to hang around my neck. At the entrance, the performers welcomed us with hula. The backstage tour was about to start. The manager himself passionately explained the costume room and dressing rooms (in English, but I could understand it somehow!).
They took us to Elvis's dressing room, where we enjoyed a welcome drink and snacks. While we were there, Elvis made an appearance! He took individual photos with us. The commemorative photos taken here are given to you at the end along with a mount, so make sure to take a picture in your favorite outfit with a smile!
After finishing the backstage tour, it was time for dinner. We were guided to seats right in front of the stage, and I was immediately impressed by the location. There were already dinner-only guests seated, but our seats were in a prime location closer to the stage. I was worried about the quantity and taste of the dinner, but both the volume and flavor were excellent. Even my wife, who isn't fond of American steak, finished her meal without any issues. Around that time, guests who were there for the show only were being seated in the stand. Being a few steps closer to the stage than them gave us a slight sense of superiority. Soon, the show began. First was Elvis, then MJ, and finally Katy Perry, with a seamless flow of dance and song that showed they had practiced well. I also got to know the people sitting next to us, and we had a great conversation. By chance, an elderly couple was sitting next to us, and when I talked to them, I learned that they visit Hawaii almost every year and come to see the Rock-a-Hula show each time. They mentioned that the performers and the lineup change every time, so they never get bored.
Before I knew it, the show was over, but as we headed to the exit, the performers came to see us off and happily took photos with us. The manager also casually chatted with us, and I could really feel that all the staff were dedicated to ensuring that the guests were satisfied. I don't know when I will be able to come again, but I definitely plan to return the next time I visit Hawaii.
人生2度目のハワイ、今回は息子を加えての初の家族でのハワイ旅行に気合を入れ、早々とロック・ア・フラショーに申し込みをしました。正直、どんなショーなのか? 食事は満足できるのか? 不安を抱えて当日を迎えましたが、全くの無駄な心配でした。本当に最高のショー&ディナー、素晴らしい思い出になりました。
会場はホノルルの中心、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中なので迷うことなく到着できました。受付でバウチャーを見せるとバックステージツアーのパスを首からぶら下げてくれます。入り口ではパフォーマー達がフラで出迎えてくれます。いよいよバックステージツアーのスタートです。バックステージツアーは支配人自ら衣裳部屋や楽屋など、熱弁で説明してくれます。(英語ですが、何となく伝わってきます!)
エルビスの楽屋に連れて行ってくれ、そこでウェルカムドリンク&お摘みをいただきます。と言っている間に、エルビスが登場! 個々に記念撮影をしてくれます。ここで撮影した記念写真は最後に台紙とともにプレゼントしてくれますので、お気に入りのファッションと笑顔で撮影してもらいましょう!
バックステージツアーを終えると、ディナーの開始です。ディナーはステージ目の前の席を案内され、まずはその場所に感動します。
バックステージツアーには参加されないディナーオンリーのお客様がすでに着席されていましが、彼らよりステージに近い特等席です。ディナーの量や味も不安でしたが、ボリュームも味も文句なし、アメリカンなステーキが苦手な奥さんも難なく完食です。そのころ、スタンド席にショーオンリーのお客様が案内され着席されていきます。彼らより数段ステージに近い私達は若干の優越感を感じます。程なくショーのスタートです。まずはエルビス、そしてMJ、最後にケイティペリーという構成、全く間を開けずにダンス&歌、よく練習されている感じが伝わります。隣席の方々とも仲良くなり話も弾みます。今回はたまたま隣席にご年配のご夫婦が居られましたが、話を聞くと毎年のようにハワイに訪れており、その都度ロック・ア・フラショーを見に来られるそうです。毎回出演者や構成が変わるので、飽きることは無いそうです。
あっという間にショーも終わってしまいましたが、出口に向かうと出演者がお見送りしてくれ、写真も快く一緒に撮影してくれます。支配人も気さくに声をかけてくれ、兎に角スタッフ全員が来場者に満足してもらおうという気持ちを物凄く感じました。また次にいつ来れるか、わかりませんが次にハワイに来た時にも必ず来ようと思いました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
