I have visited the Polynesian Cultural Center several times, so this time I participated in Paradise Cove for the first time. There were few Japanese participants, and most of the communication in the shuttle was in English, so it might be tough if you can't speak it. You can enjoy hula, tattoo experiences, and lei making until the buffet and show start at sunset. A whole roasted pig is brought out, and the buffet offers sliced meat, but the food is quite simple, consisting of vegetable salad, pork, chicken, fruit, and dessert. As for the show, the host's talk felt a bit long, but overall it created a nostalgic Hawaiian atmosphere that I enjoyed.
ポリネシア文化センターは何度か見ているので、今回初めてパラダイス・コープに参加してみました。こちらは日本人参加が少なくて、送迎の車中でもほとんど英語なので、話せないとつらいかも。ブッフェ、ショーが始まる夕暮れまでフラやタトウー体験、レイ作りなどができる。豚の丸焼きが運ばれてきて、ブッフェには切り分けた肉が提供されるが、お料理は野菜サラダ、豚肉、鶏肉、フルーツ、デザートとごくシンプル。ショーはといえば、司会進行の女性の話が少し長く感じたが、全体的に一昔前のハワイの雰囲気をかもしだしていて楽しめました。

The rocking of the boat while waiting was severe, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. There were many sharks swimming, but they lacked impact and were just diving in and out of the water. After that, I continued to suffer from seasickness, and in the end, it became a trip that only left me feeling nauseous. It's disappointing.
待っている間の船の揺れがひどく、船酔いしやすい人は要注意です。
サメもたくさん泳いでいるのですが、迫力はあまりなく、ただひたすら水の中をもぐっているだけでした。
その後も船酔いに悩まされ、結局気持ち悪さだけが残った旅行になりました。

We participated as a couple. I was worried because I could hardly understand Japanese, but it was good that they used a projector with explanations mixed in Japanese. We did some stretching before entering the sea, but I almost gave up paddling out. The female instructor helps the women, but the men have to do it on their own. Do your best! I was able to stand up multiple times while surfing, and it was really fun. If you get seasick, be careful because you might get sick while surfing too.

We arranged for a lei greeting at Honolulu airport - unfortunately, our flight from San Francisco was canceled. In the rush to get onto the next flight (which was within an hour of our cancelation) we forgot to inform Veltra about our flight change. When we landed in Honolulu (around 11 pm) we left a voice mail at their office - the next day they called me and then delivered 3 beautiful and fresh orchid leis (nicely packaged) to our hotel. They went above and beyond to help start a GREAT vacation. Thank you!

We chose 120M and went up side by side. The staff skillfully handled the ropes, and we splashed into the water violently once, and there was also a splash during landing. It seems that the splash during landing can vary depending on the height chosen. It was a lot of fun. All the staff spoke English, so I didn't fully understand everything, but it was enjoyable. For $30, you can also request a photo package.
There is no space to change, so you board the boat as soon as you arrive. I strongly recommend wearing a swimsuit.

I used to think, "Why go to a pool in Hawaii when there's an ocean?" but after watching a Japanese celebrity visit this facility on a program introducing Hawaii, I wanted to go. Finally, I was able to go this time. They picked us up at the hotel on time, and we set off by bus!!
From the opening at 10:30 AM until closing at 3:30 PM, my husband and I, both in our 40s, screamed our hearts out. Perhaps because it was the end of November, the park was not crowded, and we could enjoy everything without waiting. It was great to let out loud screams and have a blast! However, it seemed like only Japanese people were screaming, while the Caucasians were more subdued... (>_<)
There are plenty of pools for children, so I think even small kids can have a great time. Renting a locker costs $15, but you get $5 back when you return the key. I signed up for a tour without meals, so I had to pay for food separately, but you can get pizza, hot dogs, and hamburgers inside the park for about $10.
Food and drinks other than water are not allowed, and there is a bag check before entering the park.
The Shaka and Tornado rides were terrifying at first, but once I tried them, they were incredibly fun!! However, it seems I was tense, and I felt pain all over my body the next day and the day after.
You won't understand how fun it is unless you go. I highly recommend it for families with children and couples—definitely visit at least once!
海があるのにハワイでプール?と思っていましたが、ハワイを紹介する番組で日本のタレントがこの施設を訪れているのを観て、行きたいと思いました。念願かなってこの度、行くことが出来ました。時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来て貰い、バスで出発!!
10時半開園から15時半の閉園まで40代の夫婦二人で絶叫して参りました。
11月末だったせいか園内も空いていて、どれも待たずに出来ました。久し振りに大声を出して大騒ぎ!!とりあえず、どれも楽しいです。でも、絶叫しているのは、日本人ばかりで白人は、大人しめ・・・・(>_<)
お子さんのプールも沢山あるので、小さいお子さんでも十分に楽しめると思います。
ロッカーを借りるのに、15ドル掛かりますが、帰りにカギを返却すると5ドル戻って来ます。私は、食事のないツアーに申し込んだので食事は別料金で自腹でしたが、大体10ドル程でピザや、ホットドック・ハンバーガーが園内で食べられます。
お水以外の飲食物は、持ち込み禁止で入園する前に荷物検査があります。
シャカやトルネードは、最初、やるまでは恐怖でしたが、やって見ると最高に面白い!!
でも、体に力が入っていたみたいで翌日も翌々日も身体のあっちこっちが痛いです。
とにかく行って見ないと面白さは、わかりません。お子様連れの方もカップルの方も是非、一度は訪れて見て下さい~。

The guide was fluent in Japanese, so anyone can participate with confidence. They kindly taught us how to snorkel in detail, which was very helpful. It's great that you can ask questions whenever you don't understand something. Hanauma Bay is rich in fish, and you can encounter a wide variety of them, making it feel like you're swimming in an aquarium. I was surprised that the fish didn't flee even when people were around, as it is a no-fishing zone.
This is a highly recommended tour where you can fully enjoy snorkeling!!!
I hope the coral will recover soon and that Hanauma Bay will return to its original beauty.
ガイドさんは日本語が達者なので誰でも安心して参加できます。シュノーケルのやり方を丁寧に教えてくれてとても親切でした。わからないことはすぐに聞けるのが良いです。ハナウマ湾は魚影が濃く

This is an affordable tour that lasts about two hours from the beach near Hilton Hawaiian Village in the early morning. If there are many people, the wait time on the boat can be long, but during our time, there were only three groups, so it ended quickly.

I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.

The reason I deducted one star is that I didn't get to see a sea turtle (T_T). I was really hoping to swim with a sea turtle, so that was disappointing. I hope to see one next time I participate, so I'm giving it four stars!
However, I saw plenty of fish and even an octopus, so overall, I was satisfied! It was an hour that flew by in the beautiful sea. I wish I could have stayed longer!

I participated in a private lesson during my free time. I had a scary impression of surfing, but since the water was shallow, I didn't have to worry about falling into the sea, and I was able to stand up on my first try. The staff were all wonderful people, and the time spent floating in the sea together felt like being in a movie. Although the water is shallow, there are many rocks, so you need to be careful of cuts depending on where you fall. However, including the photos I bought at the end, it was an experience that made me want to do it again.

You can have a rare experience of interacting directly with dolphins. At first, I wasn't particularly interested, but I participated because my wife wanted to join. Honestly, I felt the price was high, but the experience was worth it. I was able to kiss, touch, and swim with the dolphins. The pool was located a bit away from the facility. Participants are not allowed to take photos, but spectators (for a fee) can take pictures. Since the shooting will be from a bit of a distance, I think a DSLR with a telephoto lens is necessary. By the way, the Royal Dolphin Swim takes place in the pool where the dolphin show is held, and I thought I would try that next.

Since it was a weekday, there were only two groups with four participants. They adjusted to the pace of the participants, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sea without any pressure. At the beginning, they provided a brief introduction to the basics of snorkeling, which made it reassuring for complete beginners.
Our guide, Alan, was friendly and also understood Japanese, making communication easier in case of any issues, which added to our sense of safety (although there were no incidents at all, it was comforting just in case).
I participated in the morning session, and although it rained just before we arrived, it cleared up by the time we got there. The waves were calm, and we were able to observe various types of fish slowly. Along the way, we were fortunate enough to spot two turtles, which I thought was very lucky.
平日参加だったためか、2組4名の少人数でした。参加者のペースに合わせて回ってくれるので、無理なく綺麗な海を楽しめました。はじめに簡単にシュノーケリングの基礎を教えてもらえるので、全くの初心者でも安心です。
ガイドのアランさんは気さくな上に日本語も分かる方なので、いざという時に意思の疎通が測りやすいと思われ、安全面でも安心感がありました。(ハプニング等は全くありませんでしたが、万が一のため)

I participated in somewhat gloomy weather, but luckily I was able to see the sandbar. I also took some really nice photos. I think it would be amazing if the weather were good.
かなりどんよりした天気の中参加しましたが、運よくサンドバーを見ることができました。
とても素敵な写真も撮れました。天気が良ければ最高だと思います。
