Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Dinner, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula Show
Exactly as expected and a little more
Activity Date: 2022/11/12 | Posted on: 2022/11/16

Overall we got exactly what we were expecting, which, for us, was actually refreshing. So many businesses mislead these days. We were happy with our experience and pleasantly surprised at the Rock A Hula show afterwards.

Our first impression was great. The setup under the large tents and the decor and dishware were all very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly and immediately served our complimentary Mai Tai and offered fresh pineapple at the table. We ordered more adult beverages and while they tasted fine, did not seem to have much if any alcohol in them. The MC did a good job of keeping things running smoothly and had an upbeat attitude. We enjoyed the dancers and learning to hula felt very welcoming. They presented the roasted pig with the traditional apple in its mouth. Definitely try some along with the crispy skin. We found the food at the buffet somewhat bland, but that was our experience throughout most of Hawaii.

After dinner we proceeded to the large theater for the show. This presentation is much bigger and longer than we anticipated. We would attend this show by itself without the dinner and pay handsomely for it. The Elvis and MJ impersonators were great! The charisma and crowd interactions of both of them and other entertainers were spot on! The show is a bit long and disjointed though. And while we do love MJ and his songs, some seemed a bit "off-brand" for a Hawaiian themed hula show. Thriller was one, even though the zombies were great and so was Michael.

Overall we'd give the luau and show a 7 out of 10. Food and drinks could be better and show could be shorter and more on-brand. We would still highly recommend it, especially for the price.

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]
Kayak
Activity Date: 2022/11/14 | Posted on: 2022/11/16

The check in and out process were quick and smooth as long as you have reservation. You can pay by card too.
You can rent out the kayaks and snorkeling gear on site.
Debriefing session is nice and short and they give you a map and show you the best spots to snorkel and sandbar.
The only hard thing is that it is hard to determine where the snorkeling parts were at even with the map. Once you are at sea, its hard to find landmarks. Adding landmarks would be helpful. The sandbar was so nice!

クアロア・ランチ 乗馬体験(2時間) 映画ロケ地にもなった雄大な大自然を馬に乗って満喫!<送迎付きプランあり>
I highly recommend it, especially if it's your first experience with horseback riding!
乗馬初体験なら尚更オススメ!
Activity Date: 2022/11/07 | Posted on: 2022/11/15

The tour was a small group of four people, my wife and I along with another Japanese couple, and our guide. It was my first experience riding a horse, and at first, I was scared and anxious until I got used to it. But after about 30 minutes, it became fun, and the horse was so well-behaved that I felt safe riding! The magnificent views of Kualoa and the ocean were breathtaking, and the breeze was pleasant. I highly recommend it over a bus tour!!! The only downside was that, since there were only Japanese people, there was no announcement about this area being a filming location for Jurassic Park... I wish there had been some explanation in English...

私達夫婦ともう1組の日本人夫婦の4人とガイドさんの少人数でのツアーでした。
乗馬初体験で最初は怖くて、慣れるまで不安でしたが30分も経つと楽しくなって、馬もお利口なので安心して乗れました!

All-Inclusive Oahu Island Tour with Lunch & Waimea Valley Waterfall Nature Walk
Beautiful spots and a great guide
Activity Date: 2022/11/11 | Posted on: 2022/11/14

The list of places to visit is nicely curated and I think we had enough time to walk around each site, take photos, and even buy souvenirs. Our guide, Jojo, was fantastic. He had too many stories to tell to keep us entertained and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii's culture, history, and ecology.
The only downside of this tour was that you are on a large bus so, if you are picked up last and have a seat at the back of the bus, you're going to spend a lot of time going on and off. However, Jojo knew that this might be frustrating and started counting time right after the last person was out.
The bus was clean and the lunch was ok.

I was able to experience the great outdoors on horseback. It was an environment that cannot be enjoyed in Japan. The horses were calm and safe. However, one downside was that the instructions were only in English, so I couldn't understand most of the explanations, which was a bit disappointing.

Activity Date: 2022/10/30 | Posted on: 2022/11/13

Four years ago, it was canceled due to a hurricane. I thought the prices were high for optional tours in Hawaii due to inflation and the weak yen, but I decided to give it another try for the memories. At first, I was a bit scared, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed the view of the high-rise hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea.

前回(4年前)はハリケーンでなくなく中止。久しぶりのハワイは物価高と円安でオプショナルツアーも高いなあと思っていましたが、想い出に再トライしました。
最初は少し怖かったけど、すぐに慣れて、海からみるワイキキの高層ホテルとダイヤモンドヘッドを楽しみました。

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours
Wonderful experience!
Activity Date: 2022/11/09 | Posted on: 2022/11/12

The guide was very friendly, kind and helpful. The horses were really smart and well trained. It was the first time for us to do horse riding, but nothing was difficult and had a really good time spending time enjoying the beautiful beach while riding the cute horses. We enjoyed this activity the most between all the things we did during our vacation in Hawaii.
The transportation to this place was a bit poor. We took Uber to this place and tried to schedule an Uber/Lyft for going back before hand but it was unavailable around this spot. On the way back, there was no Uber/ Lyft available so we had to use taxi which cost us triple. I would recommend renting a car to get to this place or set up a taxi pick up in advance so you wouldn’t have to worry.
The activity itself was really good and it was worth paying all the cost getting here and going back as well.
We would definitely want to go back next time we visit Oahu again!

シュノーケリングクルーズ 野生のウミガメ&イルカ・ウォッチング <ランチ&アルコール3杯付き>
Refreshing!
気分爽快!
Activity Date: 2022/11/05 | Posted on: 2022/11/10

We participated as a family, and we were the only Japanese people there. When I conveyed that I wasn't very good at English in broken phrases, the captain said, "No problem." Anyway, all four crew members worked hard, were attentive to the guests, and were very friendly, which felt great. The sky, which was cloudy in the morning, cleared up, and we were able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and a family of sea lions.

For snorkeling, they provided life jackets, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. However, after swimming, it gets very cold when the sea breeze hits you, so I think it's better to bring a towel (and a jacket) with you.

It became a wonderful memory.

家族で参加しましたが、日本人は私達だけ。あんまり英語が得意じゃないと、カタコトで伝えると、船長さんは、ノープロブレムと言ってくれました。とにかく4人のクルーがみんなよく働くし、お客さんのことも気にかけてくれて愛想がよく、気持ちがよかったです。朝は曇っていた空も晴れてきて、イルカやウミガメ、オットセイの親子も見られました。
シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを貸してくれるので安心して楽しめました。ただ泳いだあとは、海風に当たるととても寒いので、しっかりタオルを(上着も)持っていったほうがいいと思います。
いい思い出になりました。

The view is amazing!
見晴らし最高!
Activity Date: 2022/11/03 | Posted on: 2022/11/07

The meeting place was near the Hilton Lagoon, which was easy to find.
The other guests were four Americans.
After about 15 minutes on the jet boat, we took turns putting on parachutes.
I was asked if I wanted photos, but I declined; however, those who wanted them could purchase an SD card for $40.
I chose the lower height of 120 meters, but it was still high enough. The view was excellent, and I could see the ocean far away, with Diamond Head visible nearby.
In the end, thanks to the pilot's charm, we were dropped into the sea up to our chests, so it's better to wear a swimsuit.
On the way back, we went fast, so it was quite bumpy. I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to it.
They asked for a $20 tip, but I didn't have cash, so we gave $20 for the two of us.

集合場所はヒルトンラグーンの近くで、分かりやすかったです。
私達以外のお客さんは、アメリカ人の方4名でした。
ジェットボートで15分ほど行ったところで、順番にパラシュートを装着します。
写真が欲しいか聞かれたので、断わりましたが、欲しい人は$40でSDカードが購入できます。
120mの低い方の高さを選択しましたが、十分に高かったです。見晴らしはとても良く、海は遠くまで見渡せ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも近くに見えました。
最後は、操縦士さんの愛嬌で、胸まで海にポチャンと落とされます。なので、水着を着用した方が良いです。
帰りは飛ばすので、かなり揺れます。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします。
チップ$20とお願いされましたが、私は現金がなかったので、2人で$20渡しました。
