Oahu
On the day, it was cloudy and it rained on the way back. At the sandbar, the captain brought boards and inflatable canoes, allowing us to play as much as we wanted, creating a very private atmosphere. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks prepared for us. When we got tired of playing, the captain took us on a cruise to see rays and sea turtles, providing excellent service. In the rain, the other groups around us looked cold, wrapped in beach towels, but the captain lent us sweatshirts, so we could comfortably play in the water without worry. On the way back, they also lent us umbrellas and raincoats. Since it was such a great experience, I hope for sunny weather next time and will definitely try again.
当日は曇りで帰りに雨が降りました。サンドバーでは、キャプテンがボードや浮き輪カヌーなどを持ってきてくれて、遊び放題でプライベート感満載でした。スナックやドリンクもたくさん準備してくれています。遊び飽きたらクルージングでエイやウミガメを見に連れて行ってくれたりと、サービス満点でした。雨の中、周りの集団の方達はバスタオルにくるまり寒そうでしたが、キャプテンがスエットを貸してくれるので終始水の中でも平気で思う存分遊べました。帰りは傘とレインコートも貸してくれました。せっかくなので、次回晴れることを祈ってまたチャレンジします。
I thought tips were only for cruising, but it turns out you also need to pay for the shuttle bus. It's a good idea to prepare separate tips for the shuttle bus as well.
チップはクルージングのみと思っていましたが、送迎バスにも払うようになっていました。別途送迎バス用のチップも準備した方が良いです。
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
曇り空でしたがツアーを思う存分楽しんで頂けたとお聞きして大変嬉しいです。
またぜひ天国の海にお越しください。その日は美しい青空が広がりますように!Mahalo nui loa.🌺
Due to a rare weather disruption that occurs once every few decades, it was difficult to carry out the originally scheduled date, but they proposed an alternative date, making it possible for us to participate. The captain was very friendly and treated my family, who are not very familiar with English, with great kindness. Thanks to his patient instruction on fishing techniques, we were able to catch some fish! He was also very gentle with my child, who got seasick, which made for a very satisfying experience. If we have the opportunity to go again, I would definitely like to use their services.
数十年に1度の天候悪化のタイミングで当初予定していた日程の実施が難しかったのですが別日程を提案頂き利用が可能となりました。
船長は非常に気さくな方で英語が不慣れな家族にも非常にフレンドリーに接してくれて釣り方についても親切に教えてくれたおかげで釣る事も出来ました!
船酔いになってしまった子供にも優しく接してくれて非常に満足のいく体験でした。
また行く機会がありましたらぜひ利用したい先です。
If you're going trolling for the first time, I definitely think you should take motion sickness medication.
トローリングが初めての方は酔い止めは必ず飲んでいった方が良いと思います。
Joshua was great at setting up everything and communicating. The charcuterie plate was good too. We had a lot of fun during the photoshoot. I only wish we had access to all the photos taken (we only received a selection of them).
Kevin and Sabrina took really good care of us. The boat was clean, explanations/safety rules were well covered, and everything was catered to how we wanted our ride to go! Whale watching together with our friends was such a precious experience and we would recommend it for everyone. They even gave us local recommendations for restaurants and more whale watching locations. We highly recommend it! (And by we, I mean party of 9 girls to celebrate our bride to be!)
Aloha and mahalo for such a nice review!! We really appreciate you taking the time to share about your recent experience with us. Hope to see you again in the future. A hui hou, Mariah
It was a short course starting from 530. Overall, the portions were generous, and even with just three dishes, I was full and had to take half of the main meat home. All the dishes were lightly seasoned, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through. The meat was supposed to be Waimea beef, but I was informed in advance that it wouldn't be available, so it was US beef instead. I would like to create another opportunity to try Waimea beef. The staff were pleasant, and the entire space, including the restaurant and restrooms, had a cohesive and natural feel, creating a stylish atmosphere.
530からのショートコースでした。
全体的に量がたっぷりで、3品でも、お腹が一杯で、メインのお肉は半分持ち帰りました。
全ての料理は味付けがやさしく、材料そのもののお味が楽しめました。お肉はワイメア牛のはずでしたが、事前に用意できないと、連絡があり、US牛でした。又機会をつくって、ワイメア牛をたべてみたいと思いました。スタッフは感じがよく、店内、トイレにいたるところまで、統一感のある自然なかんじ、おしゃれ空間でした。
Since the portions are generous, you should go with an empty stomach.
ボリュームありなので、お腹を空かせていくべき
This was a wonderful few hours to spend at the beach with an amazing sunset. The show was well put together, with interesting history displayed within the story and show. The food was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend!
The courses of food should be presented more equally throughout the show, not all at the beginning.
We were able to enjoy a discounted price for a limited time. The appetizers, main courses, and desserts were all dishes that clearly showed careful preparation. Each item had a moderate portion size and was delicious.
開始時間限定で割安にいただけました。
前菜、メイン、デザート、どれも丁寧に手をかけて調理されているのが感じられる料理でした。適度なボリュームでどの品も美味しかったです。
If you go a little earlier and wait in line, you will be guided to a good seat.
時間少し前に行き順番待ちすると良い席に案内して頂けますよ。
Crew was amazing and made the very best of weather conditions to make the snorkel tour a truly enjoyable experience. They made every effort to find marine life and find an area to snorkel that would provide the best chance to see fish and sea life. We saw a few sea turtle, sting ray, flying fish, tropical fish and a pod of spinner dolphin! Food and drinks were very good. The crew made sure we all had a great time! The photographer was so fun and his picture pack value is unbelievable - no brainer of a purchase. Highly recommended 🤙
We took the family for a day of cruising, snorkeling, and relaxing. We saw dolphins, flying fish, sea turtles and beautiful coral and fish. The crew was amazing and took care of our every need. From keeping our drinks full, to sunscreen, dry towels, a delicious lunch and incredible snorkeling. We walked to the dock from Ko Olina, very easy. We cruised up the coast, so we did not go far but got a nice view of the resort from the ocean.
Come ready to relax and have fun.
Aloha Pop,
We are absolutely grateful for the kind words!
Cpt Travis + Kekai had an absolute blast with you all. We love sharing the day along the coastline on our Ko Olina Private Charter - Kekai mentioned how incredible the snorkeling visibility was in Makua. We look forward to hosting your family and friends again.
Mahalo,
The MANA Crew
Wonderful driver, on time, and professional, with my party. Highly recommend them!
We thought his luau was be dry boring and the show was not entertaining. We also are a younger couple it seemed maybe more geared toward older folks we called it the “retirement home luau” it was pretty disappointing for the last day of the trip. Also the food was a pre-fixed menu where u were waited on but for a picky eater it was not a good choice. I also went pregnant and the main appetizer was raw fish. I also don’t eat beef so all I was able to have was two tiny pieces of chicken and a small scoop of rice which was very mid. With two shrimps only. We both left hungry from a luau! Which is crazy it is supposed to be plentiful in food.
Took my family on a fishing trip for my son’s 8th birthday! Our Guides, Mark and George were great! They were great with our kids and we caught all kinds of fish!
Great for families
Aloha Brian! Stoked to hear you enjoyed your time fishing with Mark and George. Great way to celebrate an 8th birthday for sure. We look forward to having you back again soon. Until we catch again and mahalo nui - The MANA Team
Very good show snd service. We had a great table location but honestly, all the tables had a great view of the show.
We were able to fully enjoy the ocean activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding at our leisure. During snorkeling with the guide, we had a relaxed and private time, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times. My grandmother didn't go into the water, but she was happy to relax on the boat. Our whole family was very satisfied, and choosing a private cruise was definitely the right decision.
シュノーケル、カヌー、SUPなど自由に使用でき海の遊びを満喫できました。ガイドさんとのシュノーケルでは、ゆったりとプライベートな時間を過ごせ、ウミガメに何度も出会えました。祖母は海に入りませんでしたが、ボートでリラックスして過ごせて喜んでいました。家族みんな大満足で、貸切クルーズを選んで正解でした。
Since it's a private tour, I think it would be even more enjoyable if you communicate your preferences to the guide.
貸切なので、ガイドさんに希望を伝えるとさらに楽しめると思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
天国の海でまたお会いできる日をウミガメともにお待ちしております。A hui hou!
The course we had this time was more of a short course consisting of three dishes: an appetizer, a main, and a dessert, rather than a full course.
The main dish featured meat from the Big Island of Hawaii, which was very substantial and satisfying. I believe it would be particularly satisfying for meat lovers.
The dessert also showed a lot of care and left the impression of being meticulously crafted until the very end.
Overall, I would recommend this course for those who want to truly enjoy meat dishes; it was a satisfying experience.
今回いただいたコースは、フルコースというよりも、前菜・メイン・デザートの3品構成のショートコースでした。
メインにはハワイ島産のお肉が使われており、非常にボリュームがあって食べ応えがありました。お肉好きの方には特に満足感が高い内容だと思います。
デザートもこだわりが感じられ、最後まで丁寧に仕上げられている印象を受けました。
全体としては、肉料理をしっかり楽しみたい方におすすめできる内容で、満足感のあるコースでした。
For the final drink, coffee and tea are recommended, but since there is an additional charge for these, I think it's perfectly fine to skip them if you don't need them.
最後のドリンクについては、コーヒーや紅茶をおすすめされますが、こちらは追加料金がかかるため、不要な方は遠慮せずパスしても良いかと思います。
I rode on a lounge boat, and the spirit of hospitality was present from the captain and the Japanese guide. I can't speak for other boats, but I have fond memories of how kind they were to me.
ラウンジボートに乗りましたが、おもてなし精神がキャプテンや日本人ガイドの方もあります。他の船の場合は分かりません。とても親切にしていただけた良い思い出です。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
天国の海でまたお会いできる日をウミガメともにお待ちしております。A hui hou!
The restaurant is on the second floor, and the seating has a terrace-like openness, plus all the dishes were delicious. The staff greeted us with smiles, which felt great. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, making the payment process smooth.
お店は2階で、席はテラスの様な開放感があり、さらにお料理はどれも美味しくて良かったです。
スタッフは、笑顔で接してくれ気持ち良かったです。日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、お会計もスムーズに済ませる事ができました。
Amazing private experience and would recommend to anyone! Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
No shoes on the boat and reef shoes are recommended in the water.
We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour!
We look forward to welcoming you again in the future!
It's a calm and relaxing restaurant. It's a French restaurant that uses locally sourced ingredients from Hawaii, and both the presentation and taste were enjoyable. Additionally, it's a restaurant where you can feel comfortable dining alone. The staff were friendly and approachable.
落ち着いた雰囲気のレストランです。ハワイの地産の物を使ったフレンチレストランですが、盛り付けも繊細で味も見た目も楽しめました。
また、一人でも安心して楽しめるレストラです。スタッフの方々が気さくに声をかけてくださいました。
The prices are predetermined, so there's no need to worry about tips, which is reassuring (additional orders like drinks are separate).
お値段があらかじめ決まっているのでチップの心配がなく安心です(飲み物など追加オーダーは別)。
We booked a private Honolulu Sunset Cruise to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. The crew was professional courteous and allowed everyone to enjoy the cruise. The next time we are in Honolulu, we will definitely book this cruise again!
Aloha! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know you had a great trip with Pau Hana! We really enjoyed having your group aboard. I hope the rest of your trip is nice and relaxing. We would love to have you on the boat again. A hui hou! Mariah
We really enjoyed the setup and the music after was great.
The local papaya appetizer with Italian prosciutto and creamy burrata cheese paired perfectly with Hawaiian honey and balsamic vinaigrette. I thought I would try to replicate it at home.
The main dish, the wood-fired steak, was tender and juicy. The local vegetables topped with red wine sauce had a natural sweetness and were very delicious.
The dessert, purple sweet potato Mont Blanc with cashew nut vanilla ice cream and macadamia nuts, was also a perfect combination.
I told the staff, "I'll come back again next year," as I left.
前菜のローカルパパイヤとイタリア産生ハム、クリーミーブラータチーズはハワイ産蜂蜜とバルサミコビネグレットとの相性が抜群でした。家でも真似してみようと思いました。
メインの薪焼きしたステーキも柔らかくてジューシー。赤ワインソースをかけたローカル野菜も野菜本来の甘みがあり、とても美味しかったです。
デザートの紫芋のモンブランとカシューナッツバニラアイス、マカデミアンナッツの相性も抜群でした。
お店の方に「来年もまたきますね」と伝えて帰りました。
The food was amazing.
It was a simple menu with an appetizer, main course, and dessert, but I was very full.
The portion of the main course was incredible!
The Waimea beef is close to Wagyu. It was cooked over wood fire, and it had a wonderful aroma.
When I mentioned it was a birthday dinner, they offered a complimentary dessert plate.
I ordered a cocktail on-site. It was delicious, but the alcohol was quite strong (the staff mentioned they made it strong... I don't usually drink, so it hit me hard...).
I was able to make a reservation in advance, which was a great deal, and if I have the chance to go to Honolulu again, I will definitely make a reservation and visit.
料理は最高でした。
前菜+メイン+デザートとシンプルなメニューですが、とても満腹です。
メインのボリュームすごいっっっ!!
ワイメア牛は和牛に近いです。薪焼きにされていて、良い薫りがしました。
誕生日でのディナーだと伝えたら、プレート(デザート)をサービスしてくれました。
現地で注文したカクテル。美味しいのですがアルコールがキツかったです。(店員さんが強めに作ったと仰ってました…筆者は普段飲まないので、効きました…)
事前に予約できてお得になりましたし、またホノルルに行く機会があれば必ず予約して、寄りたいです。
The black gate at the entrance (on the first floor) doesn't open until the store hours, and there are no nameplates (signs) at all, so it might be hard to find...
入口の黒い門扉(一階)が、開店時間にならないと開かないし、表札(看板)等も全く無いのでわかりにくいかも…
素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます。私たちは、あなたが私たちと良い時間を過ごしたと聞いて嬉しいです。またお会いできることを楽しみにしています!
Thank you for the great review. We are glad to hear you had a good time with us. We are looking forward to serving you again!
Family memories for life. Many great historical facts presented along with the visuals. Great dancers musicians and actors. Kelli the host for the evening was very genuine and welcoming. We felt part of the Waikiki family. Surfside location added to the Polynesian environment. Thanks Veltra.
Book early, sit near the front and get the arm Tattoos .
I had been curious about Nature after seeing it featured on TV and by influencers, and I finally had the chance to visit! This time, I reserved the "Local Beef Experience Course." After indulging in rich meals in Hawaii, I was moved by the delicate dishes at Nature. Perhaps this level of finesse is something that only a Japanese chef can express.
The combination of papaya and prosciutto that I had as an appetizer was a first-time experience for me, and it was delicious. As someone who loves the pairing of melon and prosciutto, I was surprised to find that papaya pairs so well too! It was a new discovery. Also, I was amazed by the size of the burrata cheese! It had an American-style portion, and even sharing it among three people was more than enough to satisfy us.
The main course, the Waimea beef steak, was incredibly tender. The seasoning was exquisite, and the balance of fat was just right, allowing us to enjoy a rich flavor without it being too heavy. The dessert also had a Hawaiian touch, featuring macadamia nuts, which allowed us to feel the essence of Hawaii until the very end.
The quality at this price is fantastic! It was a thoroughly satisfying dinner. I definitely want to visit again.
テレビやインフルエンサーさんが紹介しているのを見て、ずっと気になっていたナチュール。ついに訪れることができました!
今回は「ローカルビーフ・エクスペリエンスコース」を予約。ハワイでこってりとした食事が続いていた中で、ナチュールの繊細な料理に感動。この繊細さは、日本人シェフだからこそ?表現できるものなのかもしれません。
前菜でいただいたパパイヤと生ハムの組み合わせは、初めての体験でしたが美味しかったです。メロンと生ハムの組み合わせが大好きな私にとって、パパイヤともこんなに相性が良いなんて!新しい発見でした。また、ブラータチーズのサイズ感には驚き!アメリカらしいボリューム感で、3人でシェアしても十分満足できる量で嬉しかったです。
メインのワイメア牛のステーキは、柔らかかったぁ。味付けも絶妙で、脂の乗り加減がちょうど良く、重すぎないのにしっかりとした旨味が楽しめました。
デザートもハワイらしさを感じる一品で、マカデミアナッツが使われていて、最後までハワイを感じることができました。
このクオリティでこの価格は素晴らしい!大満足のディナーでした。
またぜひ訪れたいと思います。
It's a refined space that offers a comfortable atmosphere where you can relax without pretension, making it a perfect spot for a date.
洗練された空間ながら、気取らずに過ごせる居心地の良さがあり、デートにもぴったりのお店です。
I was grateful that they changed my reservation even though I went a day early. The Waimea beef was very delicious.
間違えて予約日前日に行ったにもかかわらず
変更してくれて助かりました。
ワイメア牛はとても美味しいかったです。
I visited Nature for the first time this time. Since it was a limited-time discount price, I was able to enjoy steak at a great deal.
Nature is located on Seaside Avenue, just across Kuhio Street. The first floor houses the creative Japanese restaurant ZIGU. When I visited, ZIGU was already bustling, indicating its popularity.
Nature is on the second floor of the building, and unlike ZIGU, it has a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere. The calm service left a strong impression, and other customers seemed to be enjoying their meals peacefully.
I ordered a set menu this time and enjoyed a glass of red wine as a pairing.
The starter was a marinated cheese and papaya dish. It was a combination I had never seen before, but the sweetness and saltiness were well balanced, and I was already impressed from the start of the meal. The main dish was the signature Waimea beef steak. It was tender and cooked slowly, with nice seasoning. Having visited Hawaii several times and enjoyed various steaks, I think this one ranks at the top! The flavor was complex and layered, with a good balance of firmness and tenderness; it was simply wonderful. The dessert was also luxurious. I regret not being able to finish it all because I was so full! I should have eaten a little less for lunch.
I was able to enjoy the dinner I had been curious about! Thank you!
今回、初めてナチュールさんを訪問しました。早め時間限定の割引価格だったので、お得にステーキを楽しめました。
ナチュールさんの場所は、シーサイドアベニュー、クヒオ通りを渡ってすぐの場所。1階は創作日本食のZIGUが入っています。私が訪れた時間には既にZIGUも盛況で、人気店なことが伺えます。
ナチュールさんは建物の2階ですが、ZIGUとは異なり、カジュアルながら洗練された雰囲気。落ち着いた接客が印象的で、他のお客さんも穏やかに食事を楽しんでいる様子でした。
今回はセットメニューを注文。ペアリングに赤ワインをグラスで楽しみました。
スターターはチーズとパパイヤのマリネ。始めてみる組み合わせでしたが、甘さとしょっぱさがマリアージュしており、お食事開始から既に感動でした。
メインはお店のシグネチャーでもあるワイメア牛のステーキ。じっくり柔らかく調理されたワイメア牛で、味付けもナイスです。何度かハワイに来て、いろいろなステーキを楽しんでおりますが、これはトップランクに入ってくるのでは!?という好みの味でした。複雑で立体的な味わいと言うか、固さと柔らかさのバランスもよく、とにかく素晴らしかったです。
デザートも豪華でした。お腹がいっぱいになってしまい、全部食べきれなかったことが悔やまれます笑
お昼を少し減らしてくればよかったですね笑
気になっていたディナー、楽しむことができました!ありがとうございました!
It gets crowded later in the evening. Dinner starting from 5:30 PM is a great value and highly satisfying, so I recommend it.
遅い時間になると混み合ってきます。17:30からのディナーはお得に満足度も高いのでおすすめです。
We were blessed with beautiful weather and got to see the stunning sea. The private boat was a free space where we could enjoy music and meals. The captain was cheerful and kind, entertaining us throughout the trip. We made memories for a lifetime! Thank you!
晴天に恵まれ、美しい海を見ることができた。
プライベートの船は音楽をかけたり、食事をしたりすべてが自由な空間。
キャプテンは明るく優しい方で私たちを楽しませてくれました。
一生の思い出ができました!ありがとう!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very happy to hear that it has become a lifelong memory for you. We all sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again.
アロハ! キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
一生の思い出とおっしゃって頂き大変嬉しく思います。またいつかお会いできる日をスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
This was a nice Luau that was right at our Resort. The food was good and the entertainment was awesome, told of the history of the Island and The Royal Hawaiian Resort. Recommend if staying at the Resort.
We had the pleasure of attending the show and a had a great time. The staff was informative and very helpful from arrival to exit. The stage performers and musician were very talented and very enjoyable. A great evening.
Well worth the money. We highly recommend.
book early
