I participated via monitor, and I was absolutely thrilled! It seems that different stars perform on different days, but on the day I went, it was Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Lady Gaga. First, I was guided to the green room, where they served a green champagne in line with the theme, along with fruits, coconut chips, and salmon. The manager showed us the costume room and backstage, and then we headed to our seats☆
Our seats were right in the center, directly in front of the stage! Before the show, we enjoyed dinner. I ordered a Blue Hawaii first, and it was really delicious!!! The lobster was sweet and tasty, the main steak was tender and exquisite, and the salmon was large. The truffle mashed potatoes were also very delicious. The dessert, chocolate cake with macadamia nut ice cream, was delightful as the warm cake melted the ice cream, enhancing the sweetness—it was truly satisfying!
The show was of very high quality, especially Michael Jackson, who looked and sounded so much like the real deal. Since we were in the front row, we even got to shake hands with the stars as they came down from the stage, which was a lot of fun. Everyone sang incredibly well, and I think the quality of the show was quite high.
I believe it’s definitely worth choosing the green room, as sitting closer to the front makes the experience much more enjoyable!!!
モニターでの参加でしたが、大大大満足でした!
日によって出演するスターが違うみたいなのですが、私が行った日はマイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、レディーガガの3人でした。まず、グリーンルームに案内され、ウェルカムシャンパンでグリーンルームにちなんでグリーンのシャンパンがでてきて、他にもフルーツ、ココナッツチップスやサーモンなどをふるまわれます。支配人の方衣装部屋や舞台裏の案内をしてくれ、そのあと座席へ☆
座席は、ステージの目の前ど真ん中でした!
まずショーの前にディナーを頂きます。ブルーハワイをまず頼みましたが、かなり美味しかった!!!伊勢海老も甘くて美味しくて、メインのステーキもやわらかくて絶品でしたし、サーモンも大きく、トリュフ入りのマッシュポテトもとても美味しかったです。デザートのチョコレートケーキとマカデミアナッツアイスも、温かいケーキの上で溶けるアイスクリームは甘さが増して、ほんとに大満足の味でした!
ショーはかなり完成度が高く、とくにマイケルジャクソンは本物と本当にわからないくらい姿も声もにていました。
一番前の席だったのでステージからおりてきたスターと握手したりすることもできてとても楽しかったです。
歌はみなさんすごく上手く、ショーとしてのクオリティもかなり高かったと思います。
座席は前の方が絶対見ていて楽しいので、グリーンルームを選ぶ価値はあると思いました!!!
Thank you very much for attending the show at Rockaflower Waikiki.
I hope you had a relaxing time during your trip to Hawaii.
I am very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it, and I appreciate your kind words.

My wife has a fear of heights, so she just watched while my son and I took on the challenge. Since it was our first time, we chose the lowest course, but we were able to enjoy such a wonderful view that it made us laugh. The photos taken by the guide can be purchased on an SD card. If my wife had managed to take pictures, we wouldn't have needed to buy them, but the guide's photos were beautiful, so I recommend purchasing them even if they are a bit pricey.
嫁は高所恐怖症なので見てるだけ、息子とふたりで挑戦しました。初めてなので一番低いコースにしましたが、思わず笑ってしまうぐらいの素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。ガイドさんが撮影した写真はSDカードで購入することができます。嫁ががんばって撮影すれば購入の必要はなかったのですが、やはり撮り慣れているガイドさんの写真はきれいでしたので、少々お高くても購入をお勧めします。

Found the trip on the internet, called the office and booked the 5 hour morning trip over the phone. Recieved a conformation number over the phone and an email with all of the details. A few days before my trip recieved a reminder email and a link to print out my voucher. The day of the trip, Mett the bus a the pick time and point. The bus was a luxurious tour bus with a restroom. The driver Patrick was very professional and very pleasent. As we start traveling through the city Patrick pointed out several different thing. He was very knowledgeable about the city of Honolulu. When we arrived at Pearl Harbor he lead us up to the gate and explained how the tour was to be conducted. He handed are tickets showed everybody where to meet and at what time. After the movie and boat ride to the Arizona we had an extra 1 1/2 hours to see the rest of the site. The tour was definitely worth the money, there was no standing in line to get tickets or having to find transportation to Pearl Harbor and back. Would recommend it to everyone.

Enjoyed it, it was nice. It's worth the money for the SUP and the kayaking. However, not the snorkeling.
Water is too murky for it.
I think it would be good to allow the swimmers to sign a release to not have to wear a life jacket. The area they give you to paddle and kayak on is limited and very close to the shore area.

I went with my grandchild. As we challenged ourselves with thrilling water slides and various attractions, I, at 75, and my husband, who is approaching 80, felt a bit anxious. However, perhaps with divine help, we became close with a wonderful family visiting from Yokohama, and my grandchild was completely welcomed into their group, which made for an incredibly fun experience. While waiting with my camera for the Tornado ride, I heard joyful screams as they came down. I can't express enough gratitude for such wonderful memories. They were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary and had come together, and we also enjoyed a trip as a couple after our daughter took care of our four cats. I spent a relaxing time chatting with others of a similar age on a bench in the shade, while my grandchild tackled most of the attractions with kids of a similar age, and it was so much fun. It was a day that will remain in our hearts forever. Thank you very much.

I participated in the sandbar activities for the first time. Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the area of the sandbar was smaller than I expected, which was a bit disappointing. However, I enjoyed activities like sea kayaking and snorkeling, and the staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere. I think it would be better to clarify the barbecue lunch, as it can be misleading; perhaps it should be called a BBQ hamburger lunch instead. Of course, it was delicious!

I checked the travel time and aerial photos of the ranch on Google Maps to familiarize myself with the geography, then entered the address into the GPS of the rental car and headed there. I arrived in about an hour and a half without getting lost. I drove along the coastal road, and after entering an unpaved road marked by signs, I came to a parking area that also serves as a square on the left. On the right side of the square, there are restrooms, a handwashing area, playground equipment, and about 20 goats.
In front of the square, there is a small hut where I parked my car on the right side and handed my voucher to the person inside the hut to check in. To the left of the hut, there were about 10 horses tied up, along with free-roaming donkeys, dogs, and a rooster wandering around, which came close enough to pet while waiting for the start. I agreed to and signed the English waiver (which states that horseback riding carries risks such as falling, and the ranch is not responsible for them) and chose a helmet. The helmet has a dial at the back for size adjustment.
A man from the ranch approached me and mentioned that they take paid photos during the ride, so I signed up. It was about $40 for a set of two. I made the payment by credit card on the spot, provided my email address, and received a receipt that included a note saying, "Your photos are in the Scene C folder from 7/28. Please enter the password ◯◯ to open and download them," along with the address of the Gunstock Ranch website, where dozens of photos were uploaded later.
We were on a 90-minute course, and both my group and the other participants were families with children aged 7 to 9, totaling 8 people. Two female staff members guided us in a line at a leisurely pace. At a hill where we could see the ocean, we were able to hand over our cameras to have photos taken. After that, we returned down a small hill.
Although no Japanese was spoken, we were able to communicate with basic middle school English. The instructions for riding, turning, moving forward, and stopping were simple. The horses were calm and followed commands well, but occasionally they would stop completely, and when I was struggling, they would relieve themselves.
Also, I highly recommend wrapping a scarf around your neck, as it can get sunburned during the long ride. I couldn't help my child when they were scratching their neck from the sunburn.
After the ride, each child received a sugar cube at the hut to feed the horses, and the horses licked their palms. (There is soap and napkins available at the handwashing area.) It seemed that 90 minutes was long for the children, but it was a great experience since riding alone is not something they can do in Japan. They provided smaller horses for the kids, and there was no sense of danger.
At the end, I received a discount card for the next visit. It was a wonderful experience to leisurely stroll around the spacious ranch on horseback.
グーグルマップで所要時間と牧場の航空写真を確認して地理を頭に入れておき、レンタカーでナビに住所を入力して向かいました。1時間半位で迷うことなくたどり着けました。海岸沿いの道を進み、看板を目印に未舗装の道に入ってしばらく進むと左手に駐車場を兼ねた広場に出ます。広場の右手にはトイレ、手洗い場、遊具があり、20匹ほどのやぎ?も飼われています。
広場正面に小さな小屋がありその右手に車を止め、小屋にいる方にバウチャーを渡してチェックインしました。
小屋の左手には馬が10頭くらい繋がれていて、他に放し飼いのロバ、犬、おんどりがウロウロ、近くに来るので撫でたりして開始を待つ間に、英語表記の免責説明書(乗馬には落馬等危険が伴うこと、牧場がそれに責任を負わないこと等)に同意してサインし、ヘルメットを選びました。ヘルメットは後頭部にダイヤルがありサイズ調整できます。
牧場の男性が「有料で乗馬中の写真を撮っている」と話しかけてきたので申し込みます。二人セットで40ドル位でした。その場でクレジット決裁、メールアドレスを伝えると領収書が届き、その中に「あなたの写真は7/28のシーンCフォルダにあります。パスワード◯◯を入力して開きダウンロードしてください」と、ガンストックランチのホームページアドレスが記載されており、後日写真が数十枚アップされていました。
私達は90分コースでしたが、他の参加者も私達も7〜9才の子供がいるファミリーで総勢8名、二人の女性スタッフが前後について一列になってカポカポのんびり進みました。途中海が見える丘では自分達のカメラを渡して写真を撮ってもらえます。その後小高い丘を下って帰りました。
日本語は全く通じませんが、中学英語程度で意志疎通はできました。乗馬方法、曲がる、進む、止まる、の指示も簡単でした。馬はおとなしくよく指示に従いますが時々全く動かずゴズ困っていたら大量のおしっこをしたりうんちをしたり。
あと、長時間首筋が日に焼けるので首筋にスカーフを巻いておくことをぜひオススメします。子供が日に焼けて首を掻いていてもそばに行って助けてやれなかったので。
乗馬が終わると子供は小屋で一人ひとつ角砂糖をもらい、馬に食べさせて手のひらをペロンと舐められていました。(手洗い場に石鹸もナフキンもあります。)
子供に90分は長かったようですが、引馬でなく一人で乗る体験は日本ではできないのでよかったです。子供には小さめの馬を用意してくれたし、危険を感じることはありませんでした。
次回割引のカードを最後にもらいました。
広々とした牧場内をのんびり馬で散歩、素敵な体験でした。

What a nice tour! We took the Royal Star Hawaii Deluxe Pearl Harbor/Arizona Memorial and Historical City Tour.
This is a great tour because, regardless of what you read anywhere else, there is an advantage to getting a tour operator to take you. I was curious about how easy it would be to get tickets on your own, so I went over to the ticket counter and asked what the next available time would be (already having the ticket that our guide, Larry, gave us). It was 3 hours later than the ticket Larry got us! We saved 3 hours, allowing us the 2nd half of the day to go do other things!
Our tour guide, Larry, who is very knowledgeable, shared many interesting facts and insights about the area. As for the Pearl Harbor portion of the trip, he gave us helpful instructions in advance, walked us in as a group, went to get our tickets for us, and then gave us instructions on what to see and do. He was even available for us while we toured the visitors center and museum. When we came back to the bus, he even had a mint and handy wipe for each of us to freshen up!
We also went to National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and to Downtown Honolulu to see the famous statue of King Kamehameha, again many interesting facts delivered by Larry.
Conclusion: quality tour, saved 3+ hours of our day. Easy pickup and drop off near major Hotels.

This time, I participated with my two children, my husband, and my mother-in-law, making a total of five people. I was a bit worried about my mother-in-law, who is over 70, but she had a great time. The water at the sandbar was shallow enough to reach our ankles, so we could walk around. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the kids enjoyed playing beach volleyball. We even saw a sea turtle swimming close by while snorkeling. The staff were very accommodating, and it was truly a fun day. I would love to participate again!

This might have been the most fun part of my trip to Hawaii (^ - ^)/
We were picked up from the hotel and got on the bus around 9:20, arriving at the port around 10:10. The road was flat and easy. If we had driven, we might have arrived even faster.
After a while, we boarded the boat to the sandbar. We arrived in about 30 minutes and spent about an hour exploring and playing. The boat hardly rocked at all. The sandbar felt like a larger version of Hatenohama in Kume Island, Okinawa. There were no fish at the sandbar.
After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch and moved to see sea turtles while heading to the coral reef with fish. This took about 10 to 20 minutes, I guess? We were able to see several sea turtles.
Once we reached the coral reef, we snorkeled around there. We saw sea turtles again. We played for about an hour before heading back to the port.
今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったかも(^-^)/
ホテルからのピックアップでいき、9時20分くらいにバスにのり10時10分くらいに港につきました。道も平坦で楽でした。車で行けばもっと早くついたかも。
それから、しばらくして船にのりサンドバーへ。30分くらいで着いて、1時間くらい散策して遊び。船はほとんど揺れません。サンドバーは、沖縄久米島のはての浜の大きい版という感じです。サンドバーには魚はいません。
その後、チーズバーガーを昼食にとり、ウミガメを見に移動しつつ、魚のいる珊瑚礁に。これは10~20分くらい移動でしょうか?ウミガメは数匹見ることができました。
珊瑚礁についたら、その回りをシュノーケリングで遊びます。ここでもウミガメを見ました。1時間くらい遊んで港へ。

We participated as a family of five, with two children and an infant. My wife and the infant did not go into the cage but observed from the boat plan. You can see the sharks well even from the boat. When the captain threw a mysterious can with a rope into the sea at the shark point, the sharks were attracted to it and gathered around. We were also allowed to throw in the can, so my wife and the kids got to do it several times.
As I mentioned in another review, the cage plan can be quite shaky, so I think it's better for those who get seasick to choose the boat plan and observe from the deck.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加して、妻と乳児はケージに入らずにボートプランで船の上から見学しました。
船上からでもサメはよく見えます。船長さんがサメポイントでヒモのついた謎の缶(?)を海に投げ入れると、サメたちが缶におびき寄せられてワラワラと寄ってきます。この缶を投げ入れるのもやらせてもらえるので、妻も子供も何度もやらせてもらってました。

The North Shore Shark Adventures was a very neat and wonderful experience. The boat ride out to the shark cage took about 15-20min. The crew members really stressed about safety first and were thorough about directions. They even had a sense of humor, which makes everything better. When we reached the shark cage the crew members separated all the costumers in to two different groups and we were escorted into the shark cage that was floating in the ocean. Being in the shark cage was kind of rough. The waves would rock/bob the cage from side to side and up and down. You really had to hang on to the cage bars to obtain stability. I personally wrapped my legs and arms around the shark cage ladder, which I found to be helpful. As soon as I stuck my head under water what I saw was absolutely amazing. 15-20 sharks swimming and circling the cage, each shark was at least 6-8 feet long. It was so peaceful and serene to see these sharks in their natural habitat swimming freely. Just a quick suggestion that if you plan on swimming with the sharks you may want to schedule this event early on in your trip because cancellations may occur due to the oceans unpredictability. For safety reasons they may cancel your shark adventures but they will call you in advanced to let you know. I suggested that if you are driving to the North Shore you call them to ask about cancellations before you make the trip up north.

Paradise Cove Luau was a great cultural experience. There were many activities that got you involved with the Hawaii culture. Some of my favorites where the spear throwing, lei making, and the canoe rides in the cove. They also had special events that taught you a little bit about the Hawaiian history, like old fashion ways of fishing. The food at Paradise Cove could have had a better selection, but their fried chicken and mixed drinks were phenomenal. When it came time for the dinner show I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed the out come. The show was beautiful and told multiple stories of native legends. The costumes and stage props were extravagant and made me feel as if I was in paradise. I personally wished the show was a little bit longer but it was a great show. I would recommenced that families take their young children to watch this show because not only is it fun to watch, but its also very engaging, and can be educational.

Initially, I had hoped to book the 10:30 tour, but since I couldn't secure a reservation, I changed it to the morning and was glad to get a spot! The meeting time wasn't too early, and our meeting place, since we were staying at Trump, was the Sheraton.
We took a bus and then boarded a ferry to search for sea turtles first. The excitement when we spotted them in the beautiful sea was indescribable.
After that, we swam while snorkeling over the coral reef. Everyone wore life jackets, so even at a depth of 10 meters, it was not scary at all. The joy of swimming while seeing the coral and fish was truly a first for me and became an unforgettable memory.
The sandbar was almost at low tide, and it was really strange how far it was from the shore. I would love to participate again when I visit someday.
Breakfast was a sandwich, and the cheese was melted and really delicious.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

We participated as a family of five: two adults, two children, and one infant. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. The participation date was July 22, and we opted for the deluxe package.
The shuttle vehicle was a cool van wrapped in a Wet 'n' Wild design. We were the only passengers in the van. It took about 10 minutes by car from Aulani to the location.
Upon arrival, there was a line of cars in front of the parking lot, but since we were in a shuttle, we were able to bypass that and park right in front of the entrance. There were long lines at the ticket booth and entrance gate, but the shuttle driver brought a red paper band and wrapped it around our wrists, allowing us to skip the line and enter directly.
I later learned that this time of year is busy due to local students being on their last summer break.
Before playing, I thought about storing our valuables in a locker, but there was a long line there too. Not wanting to wait, I decided to carry our valuables with me, even though it was a bit inconvenient.
All the slides looked fun, but it was crowded, and we could only do two or three of them. There were no wait time displays, making it difficult to manage our time.
For lunch, we had the BBQ buffet included in the deluxe package. I didn't have high expectations, but the BBQ meat was grilled on-site and was quite delicious. I think it would have tasted even better with some soy sauce.
My son and daughter enjoyed bodyboarding, and they seemed to have a great time.
Our return was scheduled for 3:15 PM, which felt quite early, and due to the crowds, we didn't get to enjoy as much as we had hoped, leaving us a bit unsatisfied.
Also, I intended to rent towels on-site, but there were no towel rentals available, which was a bit of a hassle. I had to make do by drying off with a hand towel and letting myself air dry.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/22。デラックスパッケージ。
送迎車はウェット・アンド・ワイルドのデザインのかっこいいラッピングされたバン。乗客は自分たち家族だけでした。
アウラニから現地までは車で10分程度。
現地につくと駐車場前に乗用車の列ができていましたが、送迎車なのでスルーして入口前に停めてました。
チケット売り場、入園ゲートも長蛇の列ができていましたが、送迎車の運転手が赤い紙のバンドをもってきて腕に巻いてくれて、そのまま列をスルーして入園することができました。
あとで知りましたが、この時期は現地学生の夏休み最後の時期なので混雑するんだそうです。
遊ぶ前にまず貴重品をロッカーにあずけようと思いましたが、ここも長蛇の列。並ぶのが嫌だったので、邪魔でしたが貴重品は持ち歩くことにしました。
スライダー系はどれも楽しそうでしたが、混んでいて2,3個だけしかできませんでした。待ち時間表示もないので、時間の調整も難しいです。
ランチはデラックスパッケージについてたBBQブッフェ。あまり期待してなかったけれど、BBQの肉はその場で焼いていて、なかなか美味しかったです。肉にしょうゆをつけたらもっと美味しく食べられたんじゃないかと思います。
息子と娘がボディボードをやってましたが、楽しそうでした。
帰りが3時15分とかなり早く、また混んでいたこともあり、思っていたより遊べなくて、ちょっと物足りなかったです。
それとタオルは現地でレンタルしようと思ったのですが、タオルレンタルがなくて困ってしまいました。仕方なくハンドタオルで全身を拭いて自然乾燥でなんとか乗り切りました。

I participated with my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter, while my wife and baby watched from the boat. All the other participants were Americans except for our group.
After about 15 to 20 minutes of being rocked by the boat, we arrived at the shark cage. I think we had come quite far out to sea.
Finally, we entered the cage to meet the sharks, but the waves were so strong that it was difficult to observe calmly.
My son and daughter were overwhelmed by the waves and quickly retired back to the boat, leaving me to see the sharks alone.
I was able to see the sharks up close, but due to the waves, I bumped my head against the cage and collided with others, which was quite tough.
On the way back, both I and the other participants didn't seem very energetic, including myself.
It might be better if the cage were a bit larger or if there were fewer participants at a time, but I think those who are prone to seasickness should carefully consider participating.
9歳の息子と7歳の娘、37歳の自分の3人で参加。妻と赤ん坊は船の上から見学しました。
参加者は自分たちグループ以外は全員アメリカ人でした。
船に揺られること15〜20分でサメケージに到着。けっこう沖の方まで来てたと思います。
いよいよケージに入ってサメとご対面しますが、サメよりも波がすごくて、落ち着いて観察するのがむずかしかったです。
息子と娘は波にやられて早々にリタイアして船に戻り、自分ひとりでサメを見ました。
いちおうサメは間近で見られましたが、波のせいでケージに頭をぶつけたり、他の人ともぶつかったり、かなりしんどかったです。
帰りの船では自分も含め、他の参加者もあまり元気がなかったですw
もう少しケージを広くするか、一回の参加者を少なくするかすれば多少マシになるかもしれませんが、酔いやすい人は参加は慎重に検討したほうがいいと思います。

When we arrived at a port-like place after a bus ride from the hotel meeting point, we were greeted by a lively Japanese lady! We boarded the boat and chose our seats. My friend and I wore swimsuits, T-shirts, shorts, and rash guards, holding beach towels in our hands. After a brief explanation, we encountered a turtle. Then we took some photos and headed to the sandbar!
When we reached our destination, we had to walk down the stairs to the sea, but to our surprise, the waves were up to our chests, so we ended up soaking our T-shirts right from the start, haha! After a short walk, we arrived at the sandbar.
1. Those who can't swim stay at the sandbar.
2. After enjoying the sandbar, we split into those who would go snorkeling.
The sea, sky, and sandbar were so beautiful that it was breathtaking! I can't even count how many photos I took.
When it was time to return, everyone got back on the boat, and while climbing the stairs, the Japanese guide playfully said, "Let's splash!" and we all got drenched, haha! We were completely soaked, but it felt great! If you don't want to get wet, you can simply let them know, and you can avoid it. After that, we had a light snack and got back on the bus!
The air conditioning on the bus was quite cold, so it's best to prepare for the chill.
I had a fulfilling time!
ホテルの待ち合わせ場所からバスに揺られ港のようなところにつくと、威勢の良い日本人のお姉さんがお出迎え!
船に乗り込み各自好きな席へ。
私と友達は、水着にTシャツ、短パン、ラッシュガードを羽織り、バスタオルを手に持ち行きました。
説明を受け数分後、カメと遭遇。
そして写真を撮っていざサンドバーへ!
目的地に着くと、階段を降りて海に行くのですが、濡れないと思いきや、胸のあたりまで波の高さがある中を歩いていくので、最初からTシャツびっしょり笑
そして少し歩いてサンドバーにつきます。
①泳げない人はサンドバーのみ
②サンドバーを楽しんだ後にシュノーケリングに行く人にわかれます。
本当に海と空、サンドバーがキレイすぎて感動!
何枚写真を撮ったことか。
時間になるとみんな船に上がっていくのですが、階段登りながら、日本人のガイドのお姉さんに潮を落としまーすと言われながら、バシャーンと全員水かけ笑 全身びっしょりだけど気持ち良い‼︎
濡れたくない人は、直に伝えれば濡れずに済んでいました。
その後軽食を取り、バスに乗ります!
このバスの時が冷房が効いていて寒いので、しっかり寒さ対策をした方が良いです。
充実した時間を過ごすことができました‼︎

I was completely surprised that both my kids were able to surf on the first class. They enjoyed it so much they (the kids) insisted on another session. Their teachers were so good the kids were interested in learning more!!! a big shout out to Travis, Tim and Adam. These young men are wonderful teachers and it was an honor to meet them. Hardworking, talented and yet so humble and compassionate to their culture and environment. It was a wonderful experience! I also want to say the office staff were also very nice. This picture is my son and his teacher Travis on the first session.
Aloha! and Thank so much for 5 satrs!! hope to see you guy again in the water!! Aloha
