I signed up for the activity on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Running through the blue sky with the wind while listening to music was incredibly refreshing and felt great. I saw a lot of big turtles. I definitely want to participate again!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Dolphins and turtles. イルカもカメも

Reviewed by: azugon

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.

Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.

We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.

I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.

今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール3ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

ウェット アンド ワイルド ハワイ 絶叫ウォータースライダーなど25種類以上のアトラクションが揃うウォーターパーク ランチやドリンク付きパッケージプランあり

It's an amazing wave. すごい波です

Reviewed by: のぞみ

All the attractions were interesting, but I was surprised by the intensity of the waves in the wave pool; it left the biggest impression on me. The large waves are incomparable to the wave pools I've been to in Japan. If you let your guard down, you might get knocked over by the waves and get hurt.

I also participated in a bodyboarding lesson in this big wave pool. It's fun, but for someone like me, an older woman, or for young children in elementary school, it can be physically demanding. The waves are really big, so it can be a bit dangerous; I saw several people who had fallen over and gotten scrapes.

The barbecue lunch was nothing special, but the fruit was delicious. Considering that the only other lunch options available were expensive hot dogs and hamburgers, I thought, "Well, that's okay."

Food and drinks are not allowed to be brought in, and there was an explanation on the bus that bags would be checked at the entrance, but in the end, my bag went unchecked.

どのアトラクションも面白かったのですが、波がくるプールの波の荒さにびっくり、一番印象に残りました。
日本で行ったことのある波プールとは比較にならない大波です。気を抜いてると波に倒されて怪我しそうです。
この大波のプールでボディーボードレッスンっていうのにも参加しました。楽しいですが、私のようなおばさんや小学校低学年の子供には体力的にきついです。ほんとに大波なのでちょっと危険でもあり、ひっくりかえって擦り傷をつくっている人を何人か見かけました。
バーベキューランチはぱっとしませんが、フルーツはおいしかったです。これ以外に買えるランチが値段の高いホットドッグやハンバーガーしかないことを考えると、ま、いいか、って感じ。
食べ物飲み物は持ち込み禁止で、入り口でバッグをチェックしますってバスの中で説明がありましたが、結局バッグはノーチェックで入れました。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Family Fun

Reviewed by: Jim

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Had A Great Time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

Premium Ko Olina Snorkel Cruise with Dolphin Watching, Lunch Buffet & Drinks - Ocean Joy Cruises

Love the staff

Reviewed by: Cindy Devlin

But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ>

The event will be held as usual despite the typhoon. 台風の中=通常とおり開催ですよ=

Reviewed by: JUNJI

Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.

P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.

前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
 しかし、500名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
 声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし(特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動!おかわりしちゃいました♪)ドリンク(ビールorソフトドリンク)も2杯飲めるし。
 ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
 もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
 予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

WELL WORTH THE PRICE!!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Had a great time!!

Our driver/guide was awesome. I won't forget him! I can't recall his name because it was extremely long, but he did an EXCELLENT job guiding us through the island during our drive to PCC. This is our first time to Oahu and he did such a great job in getting us familiar with the area. He was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome, like we were his own Ohana. He made sure everyone knew which luau we were supposed to go to, where the main theater was, and even where to meet up afterwards for the drop off back to the hotel.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is an AMAZING place! Theres a 15 minute boat ride that takes u around the center to visit the different villages.

The luau was entertaining with great food!

The show was INCREDIBLE!! I really enjoyed watching all the dances. Especially the fire ring guys!!

We went for the late entry and we thought it was still well worth it! Definitely a must go.. and a must go again!!!

Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii Water Park Admission Tickets

Kids Park???

Reviewed by: HONEYMOONERS!!!!

ok this water park was definitely not as advertised as it is undergoing renovations. also, there was no 7-story drop as advertised, there are just some crappy slides in it's place. the park is more directed to kids. not all slides were open, they would alternate opening different one's and the lineups were HUGE as a result. Da Flowrider was a sick ride for anyone wanting a surfing experience, and the simulated wave pool was cool too. The staff were definitely excellent though.

Not recommended for anyone looking for a adrenaline rush from slides!

otherwise, have fun!

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>

This is the real luau! これぞ本物のルアウ!

Reviewed by: soro

The luau at Paradise Cove is amazing, which is surprising considering how little it is advertised in tourist information in Japan! It's a fantastic tour that can't be summed up in just one word. An American from the mainland boasted, "You have to see this when you come to Hawaii. It's absolutely unmissable!" It seems to be quite famous in the U.S., and there were people who took vacations just to experience it.

Once you get on the bus, the guide is full of energy, and the tour begins in an exciting atmosphere.

First of all, the location is fundamentally different from the mock luaus held around hotels. The venue is set in a resort area, making it feel like a genuine festival (luau). Participating in various events while watching the sunset over the ocean is a delightful part of the luau experience.

However, if I had to point out one downside from a Japanese perspective, it might be the question of whether the food is suitable for a dinner show. Well, the buffet-style Hawaiian cuisine... might be a bit too bland. Aside from top-tier hotel buffets, this is probably the norm.

But once the lights go down and darkness falls, it becomes truly spectacular! As the spotlight shines and the intense flames dance, the show begins with a mix of enchanting hula performances that drive toward the climax. The excitement and emotion are so overwhelming that the taste of the food fades away.

I was impressed by the service, such as when a shy girl got the chance to go on stage... Truly, this is Hawaii's No. 1 luau! What I think about now that I'm in Hawaii is, "This is something you absolutely can't miss!"

どういう訳か…日本で目にする観光案内にはあまり宣伝されていないのが不思議なくらい、パラダイス・コーブのルアウは最高です!
一言では言い表せないファンタスティックなツアーです。
「ハワイに来たら必ず観るのさ。絶対に外せないネ!」とメインランドからきたアメリカ人が豪語してましたが、米国では相当に有名らしく、これが楽しみで休暇をとって来たという方もいらっしゃいました。
バスに乗り込めば、もうガイドはノリノリ。エキサイティングな雰囲気に包まれてツアーが始まります。

先ず、ホテル周辺で開催される模擬的なルアウとは根本的なロケーションが違い過ぎます。リゾート地に会場を設け、地に着いたお祭り(ルアウ)そのものからして本物だと実感させられます。
海に沈み行く夕日を眺めながら、会場内にある数々のイベントに参加するのもルアウの楽しいひと時です。
ただ一つ、日本人からの難点を挙げるとすれば、ディナーショーにふさわしい料理か?という不満はあるかも知れません。
まあ、ハワイ料理のビッフェスタイル…大味のオンパレードは仕方ないかも。一流ホテルのビッフェを除けば大抵はこんなモノでしょうかね。
しかし、一旦照明が落ちて漆黒を迎えてからが圧巻です!
スポットライトが射し込み、強烈な炎の舞で一気に幕が開くと、妖艶優美なフラとが入り乱れてクライマックスへ向けて延々とドライブが続きます。
もう料理の味など吹っ飛ぶほどの興奮と感動を堪能するのです。
シャイな娘が舞台に上がる機会をいただけたり…客へのサービスも演出された、さすがハワイNo.1のルアウだな!と感銘した次第。
ハワイに来て今想う事は、「これだけは外せない」です!

The translation couldn't keep up.. but the guide was amazing! トランスレート追いつかず・・でもガイドが最高でした!

Reviewed by: なんきんまま

I participated with my daughter, who is in the second year of junior high school. I knew this tour would be quite an adventure for Japanese people, but it exceeded my expectations as a native tour. On the large bus, we were the only Japanese, and after the guide mentioned that they didn't understand Japanese, there was not a single word of Japanese for the entire 7 hours. I was quite confident in my English skills, but the rapid-fire talking on the bus, the American jokes, and the translations couldn't keep up. Moreover, the guide encouraged a sense of camaraderie by suggesting handshakes and shoulder rubs with our neighbors to liven up the party (luau)! This was also true at the venue, where we sat at tables by bus, making communication essential. It was challenging in many ways, but it was a fresh Hawaiian show even for me, who has been to Hawaii five times. As someone else wrote, the important thing is to remember your bus number and return time (around 9:30). Once you arrive, there are many free activities until meal time, so participate actively! There are shows like climbing palm trees and net fishing signaled by the conch shell, so be sure to check those out! It's important to participate actively. The Polynesian Cultural Center explains the history and differences of the islands clearly, but this tour was all about participation centered around dance, so they can't be compared. It was a tour that made me truly feel the American spirit of enjoying the moment. If you can think, "It's okay if I don't understand English," it becomes easier. It might be better to have a larger group to enjoy together!

中2の娘と二人で参加、かなり日本人には冒険のツアーということは知っていたが聞きしに勝るネイティブツアー。大型バスの中で日本人は私たち母娘のみ、ガイドに日本語わかりません、と一言前置きされてから7時間まったく一言も日本語なし。英語力にはかなり自信ありでしたが行き返りのバスでの弾丸のようなしゃべり、アメリカンジョーク、トランスレートは追い付きません、しかもお隣さんや後前さんで握手や肩もみなんていう仲間意識をあおってパーティー(ルアウ)を盛り上げよう!的なガイドからの要請もある!現地でも然り、バスごとにテーブルにつき盛り上がるのでコミュニケーション必須かも。色々大変だけどハワイ5回目の私にも新鮮なハワイアンショーでした。誰かが書いてくれたとおり大事なのは、自分のバスナンバーと帰り時間(9:30ごろでした)を忘れないこと。現地に着いたら食事までの時間はかずかずのアクチビティーがタダなのでどんどん参加すること、ホラ貝の合図でヤシの木のぼりや地引網漁などのショーがあるのでそちらに行ってみること!積極的に参加することが大切です。ポリネシアン文化センターは島々の歴史やその違いがわかりやすく説明される催しですがこちらは踊りを中心に全部が参加型、比較はできません。アメリカ人のその場を心から楽しむ精神を痛感するツアーでした。英語わからなくてもいーやーと思えればラク、できれば大人数のほうがうちわで盛り上がれるのでいいかも!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I had gone to this Luau about 20 years prior and had a very favorable memory of it. This time, I have to say, was disappointing. First off, I bought the half day package. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding or what, but our driver ( I also paid for transportation) said that our guide couldn't make it, so he took us on a tour when we got there. I felt the tour was rushed and not very impressive. I suppose for the half day, you shouldn't expect much.

He then took us to dinner a little late, and we were seated in the waaay back of the line, which makes a difference. The tables go to the buffet in order, so if you are towards the back, it's slim pickin's. The buffet itself was average, although considering what we paid, was below average for the price. I didn't get to see anything of the cooking of the pig or anything about the traditions, again, maybe because I was late.

The show, however, was as billed. There were many many different dances, and the dan
