All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The receptionist spoke a little Japanese, but the crew on the boat communicated entirely in English. My English skills are only sufficient to understand simple phrases, but since they demonstrated how to use the snorkeling equipment, there were no particular issues as long as I paid attention. There were no other Japanese participants, but it felt like an overseas trip, which was nice!

When boarding the boat, you need to take off your sandals and shake off the sand from your feet. You sit in your seat and wait until you reach the snorkeling point. Once the crew is ready, everyone enters the water one by one. They apply anti-fog solution to the snorkeling mask, and after rubbing it in with your hands, you dip it in a bucket of water before putting it on. Just before entering the water, you put on your fins, and off you go into the sea!

You swim a little away from the boat to reach the watching point. As you swim, you see plenty of fish. I was surprised at how many there were! When a turtle appeared, the crew would call out, "Turtle!!" and let us know. We all gathered around, watching without getting too close. I was able to see the turtle both underwater and when it came up for air. So cute!

Many other boats were also there for turtle watching, so it might be helpful to keep an eye out for people wearing the same life jackets as you or to listen for the call of "Holokai!" to stay together and feel secure.

Looking at past reviews, it seems that the shape of the life jackets and floats might vary depending on when you participate. When we joined, we had life jackets that you inflate yourself. I recommend inflating them fully. Since the back of the jacket doesn't have any buoyancy, it might feel a bit scary if you're not used to swimming. My partner was also new to snorkeling and being in water where he couldn't touch the bottom, so he seemed quite fearful and stayed close to the boat while snorkeling. The crew informed us from the boat that there was a turtle, so we were able to enjoy turtle watching safely.

After snorkeling, we relaxed on the boat for about an hour. We were feeling a bit seasick, so we couldn't eat, but snacks were available for everyone else. The crew noticed we looked unwell and kindly asked if we were okay, applying lavender oil to our wrists, which is said to help with seasickness. I appreciated their kindness.

Although I felt a bit seasick towards the end, the breeze and sunshine on the boat were very pleasant, and I was able to see many fish and cute turtles. I think it was a wonderful experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise!

受付のお姉さんは少し日本語を話してくれましたが、船上クルーの方はずっと英語でした。簡単な英語が聞き取れる程度の英語力しかありませんが、シュノーケリング用具の説明は実演してくれたので、しっかり見ていれば特に問題はなかったです。
日本人の参加者は他にいませんでしたが、海外旅行を感じられたのでそれも良し！

船に乗り込むときはサンダルを脱ぎ、足についた砂を落として乗り込みます。
椅子に座ってシュノーケリングポイントにつくまで待機。クルーの方の準備が完了したら、順々に海に入っていきます。
シュノーケリングマスクに曇り止め？を付けてもらい手で塗り込んだら、バケツのお水に一度つけてから装着。
海に入る直前にフィンをつけて、さあ海の中へ！

船から少し離れて、泳いでウォッチングポイントへ移動します。
泳いでいるとお魚はたくさん目に入ります。こんなにいるのか！とびっくり。
タートルが現れたときは「タートーーール！！」とクルーの方が声がけして教えてくれます。みんなで丸く囲みながら、近寄らずにウォッチング。
私は、海中にいる時と海上に呼吸をしに来た時の姿を拝むことができました。かわいいな〜

他の船もたくさんタートルウォッチングに来ているので、自分と同じライフジャケットをしている人を見逃さないようにしたり、「ホロカ〜イ！」という声がけに耳を澄ませておくと、逸れずに安心かもしれません。

過去レビューの写真を見たところ、参加タイミングによりライフジャケットや浮きの形が違うのかも？　私たちが参加した際は、自分で空気を吹き込んで膨らませるライフジャケットでした。しっかりと膨らませることをおすすめします。
背中側に浮きがない形なので、もしかしたら泳ぎ慣れていないと少し怖いのかもしれません。私のパートナーはシュノーケリングも初、足の付かない水中も初だったこともあり恐怖感がとても強かったようで、船からはあまり離れずシュノーケリングをしていました。
クルーの方が船の上から「カメいるよ〜」と教えてくれたようで、無事にタートルウォッチングはできたようです。

シュノーケリングが終わった後は1時間ほど、船上でゆっくり。
私たちは船酔い気味だったので食べられませんでしたが、スナックは自由にいただけたようで、みなさん召し上がっていました。
クルーの方は我々の具合の悪そうな様子を見て、大丈夫？と声をかけてくれ、酔いに効くらしいラベンダーオイルを手首に付けてくれました。優しさに感謝。

終盤船酔い気味ではありましたが、船上で感じる風や陽射しはとても気持ちが良く、たくさんのお魚やかわいいホヌも見ることができ、なかなかできない良い体験ができたなと思っています！

During the buffet before the show, there was a hula dance performance right in front of us, which made it enjoyable until the very end. The show also included a look-alike impersonation segment, which was entertaining.

ショーの前のビュッフェのときも、フラダンスショーが目の前で行われたりして、最後まで楽しめました。ショーはそっくりさんのモノマネショーもあり面白かったです。

Not the best experience, very rushed,choppy water, cloudy because of all the sand in the waterI didn't see anything underwater snorkeling ,saw a few turtles swimming on top of water.as far as the drinks part.. you got about 15 mins to chug your 3 free drinks on the way back because you can't drink and snorkel? Probably a bad combo to sell .Probably won't do this one again Crew was well informed and nice but could put more effort in the experience.

I received a short message the day before the activity, and the pickup location was easy to understand. They arrived on time, which was reassuring. The driver was very polite, and the entry process was smooth. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and the three hours went by in no time.

アクティビティ前日にショートメールが届いて、迎えのピックアップ場所分かりやすく、時間通りに来てくれて、安心しました。ドライバーさんもとても丁寧で、入場までもスムーズでした。素晴らしい海でシュノーケルを子供たちもとても楽しめて、あっという間の３時間でした。

Almost walked out as show was late starting. But after show started it was great

To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!

This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.

ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー！

ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景！魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。

On the first day of my trip, I was able to see a wonderful show, and it made me feel like I had truly arrived in Hawaii! The performers looked just like the celebrities, and the photo session after the show is a memorable experience!

旅行初日に素敵なショーを見ることが出来て、ハワイに来たなと実感出来ました！
有名人にもそっくりで、ショー後の写真撮影も思い出に残ってます！

Two days before departing for Hawaii, I learned about "Auwana" and signed up just before leaving. Although I was in the second-floor seating, the venue was small enough that I enjoyed it thoroughly. The show allowed me to experience Hawaiian culture, and the performances were incredibly powerful. There was also a participatory program that was a lot of fun. The showtime flew by in an instant. Children can also enjoy it. For those traveling, I highly recommend checking it out.

ハワイ出発の二日前に「アウアナ」のことを知り、出発直前に申し込みました。
二階席でしたが、会場が狭いので十分楽しめました。ハワイの文化に触れながら見られるショーでパフォーマンスもすごい迫力でした。参加者型のプログラムもありとても楽しむことができました。ショータイムは、あっという間に過ぎてしまいます。子どもも楽しめます。旅行に行かれる方、是非見に行ってほしいと思います。

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。

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

I enjoyed being able to see various stages, including hula dance, entertainment, and fire dance. The meals were also satisfying.

I had the opportunity to see the much-talked-about Cirque du Soleil show "AUANA," which started last December!

I attended the 8:30 PM performance this time. If you have an early dinner, it’s perfectly timed for after the meal. For dinner, I went to Maui Brewing located in the lobby of Outrigger Beachcomber. It’s situated directly below the AUANA venue, and you can already feel a hint of the Cirque du Soleil atmosphere.

After enjoying a light beer and meal, it was finally time for the theater. I simply presented the QR code ticket I received via email, and the staff smoothly guided me in. It was very convenient. Surrounding the theater, there are small food stalls and restrooms. It’s great to be able to take care of any restroom needs before the show starts.

Passing through the carpet marked with "AUANA," I entered the venue. My seat was in Category 3, located at the back left when facing the stage. When I compared it to the seat map beforehand, I wondered if I should have chosen a closer seat, but this turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The theater is compact, so I didn’t feel far from the stage and could feel the performers' energy. Additionally, being able to view the performance from a higher perspective allowed me to appreciate the full use of the stage, making it possibly the best seat after all.

The show consists of eight acts, each linked to a Hawaiian story. It began with a swinging performance that conveyed the history of how Polynesians arrived in Hawaii. The intensity was incredible and quite thrilling. The show continued with comedic acts, beautifully graceful female dances, nail-biting balance performances, and dynamic acts inspired by volcanoes—there was so much to see!

Before I knew it, we were at the final act. By that point, I was completely immersed in the world of AUANA, and I found myself tearing up uncontrollably. I ended up giving a standing ovation with teary eyes! I am grateful and moved to have been able to come to Hawaii and see AUANA. Right after it ended, I thought, "I want to see it again!" and now I have one more reason to return to Hawaii!

The show progresses without any verbal explanations, so even those who are not confident in English will be fine. There are performances in the aisle between the front and back seats, so for those who want to see the whole show, sitting in the back is better, while those who want to see the performance up close should choose seats in the front. Since I watched from the back this time, I’m thinking I’d like to experience the intensity from the front next time.

昨年12月からスタートしたシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ「アウアナ」！話題のショーをこの度初めて見させて頂きました！

私が参加したのは、今回は20:30からの回でした。少し早めに夕食を取れば、食後にちょうど良いタイミングです。
当日の夕食はアウトリガー•ビーチコマーのロビー会にあるマウイブリューイングさんへ。アウアナ会場のちょうど真下に位置しており、既にシルク・ド・ソレイユの世界観が少し漂ってきます。

軽くビールと食事を楽しんだあとは、いよいよシアターへ。事前にメールでもらっていたQRコード付きチケットを出すだけで、受付の方にスムーズに案内いただけました。楽ちんです。シアターの周囲には小さな飲食の売店とお手洗いがあります。トイレが気にならないよう、ショーの前に小用を済ませておけるのは嬉しいところ。売店もマウイブリューイングと連動しており、追加のビールも買うことができました笑

'AUANAと書かれたカーペットを抜けて、いざ入場です。
今回の席はカテゴリー3。ステージを正面に見て、左奥の位置でした。事前にシートマップと見比べたときは、もう少し近い方が良かったかなぁ、と悶々していましたが、これが嬉しい誤算！
シアター自体がコンパクトな作りになっているため、遠方と感じることなく十分にステージの息遣いを感じられる席でした。かつ、俯瞰して演出を見られる位置でもあるので、ステージを目一杯使ってパフォーマンスが繰り広げられることを考えると、むしろベスト席だったかも…なんて思ったりしますり。

ショーは8つの演目で構成され、それぞれがハワイの物語と連動しています。ポリネシアの人々がハワイにたどり着いた歴史を伝えるブランコのショーからスタート。いきなり迫力がすごく、ハラハラでした。その後もコミカルタッチの演目や、美しくしなやかな女性の演舞、つい手に汗握るバランスパフォーマンス、火山をイメージしたダイナミックな演技など、とにかく見どころが続きます。
気づいたらあっという間に最終演目。その頃には完全にアウアナの世界に引き込まれており、勝手に涙が止まらなくなっていました。最後は目を潤ませながらスタンディングオベーション！
今回ハワイに来れたこと、アウアナを見られたことに感謝、感激です。終わってすぐに「また見たい！」と思え、次またハワイに来る理由が１つ増えました！

ショーは全て言葉の説明なく進みますので、英語が不安な方でも大丈夫。前方席と後方席の間の通路でもパフォーマー演出があるので、全体を見たい方は後ろから、より間近に演技を見たい方は前方側の席が良いかと思います。
私は今回後ろからの観劇でしたので、次回は正面前方から迫力を感じてみたいなぁ、なんて思っています。

I experienced the new attraction Xplore Ride, which was also introduced at HIS events.

I participated from the afternoon of my arrival day. Since I arrived in Hawaii in the morning and couldn't check into the hotel until the afternoon, it was a nice point that I could join during the free time. The tour departs from Royal Hawaiian Avenue next to DFS. I was worried about getting lost, but the large bus with a blue ocean illustration caught my eye, and I was able to find it right away. There are also lunch spots nearby, like Aloha Table and Sticks, making it convenient to join before or after lunch.

After telling my name and boarding the bus, I took my designated seat. I heard that the bus is a brand new custom vehicle for this tour! The ride was comfortable, with luxurious seats. Before departure, a staff member provided an explanation. Following their instructions, I put on the VR goggles that were prepared at my seat, and I immediately saw a language selection button in front of me. When I reached out, I pressed the selection button, and it switched to Japanese mode. They mentioned that it uses AR technology to overlay real-world images with virtual space, and MR technology that connects the virtual world with the body, which made me excited for this first-time experience.

Once the headset and language settings were complete, the tour started. The bus route goes around Diamond Head and returns, and it wasn't a long ride. I was worried about feeling dizzy due to lack of sleep, but I was able to enjoy it without any issues until the end.

During the tour, a guide named Manta appeared. He shared various attractions of Oahu and information about Hawaii. The experience of reaching out and connecting with the virtual space, where dolphins and fish appeared from Waikiki Beach, and scenes where I completely entered another world were filled with many creative elements that kept me engaged. There are many highlights, but I’ll refrain from spoilers. Please be sure to experience it for yourself!

The duration of the tour is easy to participate in. I highly recommend it for both enhancing your knowledge of Hawaii and enjoying a new experience! Thank you!

HISさんのイベントなどでも紹介されていたXplore Ride。気になる新アトラクションを体験してきました。

私は到着日の午後から参加しました。ハワイの到着は現地午前中、ホテルは午後までチェックインができないので、あいた時間に参加できるのは嬉しいポイントです。
ツアーはDFSの横、ロイヤルハワイアン通りから出発します。迷わないか心配でしたが、海の青いイラストが書かれた大きなバスがアイキャッチになり、すぐに「これだ！」と見つけることができました。近くはアロハテーブルやスティックスなどランチ所もあるので、ランチ前後の参加も便利そうです。

名前を伝えてバスに乗ったら、指定の席に座ります。バスはこのツアー特注の新車とのこと！乗り心地も気持ちよい、高級感あるシートでした。
出発前に係の方から説明があります。いわれるがまま席に準備されたVRゴーグルを装着すると、既に何やら言語選択のボタンが目の前に。手を伸ばすと選択ボタンが押され、日本語モードになりました。現実世界の映像と仮想空間が重なるAR技術、バーチャル世界と体が連動するMR技術とのことですが、始めての体験に既にワクワクです。

ヘッドセット、言語セットが完了したら、ツアースタート。バスのルートはダイヤモンドヘッドを一周して戻ってくるコースで、そこまで長時間ではありません。寝不足でデジタル酔いが心配でしたが、最後まで問題なく楽しむことができました。

ツアーでは案内役のマンタが登場。様々なオアフ島の魅力やハワイ情報を教えてくれます。手を伸ばしてバーチャル空間と繋がる体験、ワイキキビーチからイルカや魚が現れたり、完全に異世界に入るシーンもあり、飽きさせない工夫がたくさんでした。見どころは色々ありますが、ネタバレになるので、控えておきます。是非実際に体験してみてください笑

気軽に参加できる所用時間。ハワイの知識を補強できる意味でも、新しい体験を楽しめる意味でも、おすすめできる内容でした！ありがとうございました！

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！

I was anxious about everything being in English, but the return time and meeting place were clear, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. I was lucky to see seals swimming in the bay as well.

オール英語で不安でしたが、帰りの時間と集合場所が明確で安心して楽しめました。アザラシも湾内に泳いできてラッキーでした。

I found that the water wasn't as clear as I had hoped. The sandy beach wasn't as beautiful as I expected either. I want to visit the sandbar I went to two years ago again!

泳いでみて思ったほど透明度は良くなかった。砂浜も思ったほど綺麗ではなかった。一昨年行ったサンドバーにもう一度行ってみたいです！

I saw it once in Japan, but it was the best only in Hawaii.
It was very beautiful, and it was exciting to watch!
You should definitely see it!

日本で一度見ましたが、ハワイだけのもので最高でしたよ。
非常に綺麗で、見ていてワクワクでした♪
見るべきです♪

Our 30th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. Since my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, wanted to have a Hawaiian experience, we chose this place where we could enjoy both hula and rock music.

A beautiful hula dancer placed a fresh flower lei around my neck, and we took a photo with Elvis Presley! I was already in high spirits.

Once we were seated, we started with a Mai Tai drink and piled our plates high at the buffet. The dessert was also delicious.

In between, there were hula dances and hula lessons.

After the meal, we moved to a spacious theater where the dancers showcased impressive hula and fire dances. There was also a presentation that traced the history of Hawaii using two large screens, featuring songs and dances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, which got all the Western guests excited.

Thanks to this experience, we had a wonderful last night in Hawaii. Thank you!

結婚30周年のハワイ旅行。ハワイ初訪問の主人がハワイらしい体験をしたい！と言うのでフラもロックも楽しめるこちらを選びました。
キレイなフラルックのお姉さんに生花のレイをかけて頂きエルビスプレスリーさんと写真をパシャ！もう気分は上々♪
席に着くとマイタイドリンクから始まり、ビュッフェ形式でお皿いっぱいに盛って頬張りました。デザートも美味しかったです。
途中、フラダンスやフラレッスンもあり。
食事後に広いシアターに移動。ダンサーの皆様が素晴らしい見応えありのフラやファイヤーダンスを披露。
大きなスクリーン２つを活用してハワイの歴史を辿るような演出もありエルビスやマイケルジャクソンの歌やダンス、欧米のお客さん達も皆んなで大いに盛り上がっていました。
お陰様で楽しいハワイのラストの夜を過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

It was my first time trying SUP, but they kindly and patiently taught me, and even as someone over 60, I was able to enjoy it. I want to do it again the next time I come to Hawaii.

I was sore the next day (laughs).

初めてのSUPでしたが親切丁寧に教えてくださり還暦過ぎの私でも楽しむことができました
次回ハワイに来た時もやりたいと思ってます

次の日筋肉痛になりました（笑）

If you haven't experienced it yet, I think you should see it. It has both a Hawaiian vibe and the essence of Cirque du Soleil, making for a fun stage show. Both adults and children can enjoy it, and it would be even more enjoyable if you understand English.

まだ体験されてないかたは、見た方がよいと思います。
ハワイっぽさもシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユらしさもある、
楽しいステージです。
大人も子供も楽しめます、英語がわかればさらに楽しいだろうな。

Had a great time. very friendly staff, well organized production.
It may be their job but everyone seemed to enjoy making sure you have a great time.
go. get the pictures. the memories are priceless.

bonus : go on Friday and you get the fireworks show on the water with Waikiki as the backdrop. what could be better???

Had a great time on a special day. everyone there was friendly and entertaining

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.

The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.

The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.

自分へのご褒美に５スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。１人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット２枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Cirque du Soleil's "O" is a show that you must see at least once in Hawaii. I was very satisfied. I would like to see it again.

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ「アウアナ」は必ずハワイで一度は見るべきショーでした。十分満足しました。もう一度見てみたいです

On our first trip together, my sister and I visited Hawaii. I take hula lessons, and my sister used to take them too, so we talked about wanting to see a show together! There was a show just for hula, but at my sister's request, we decided to go to "Rock-a-Hula." There were option tours from travel companies, but we found this tour from Veltra with "second person free" and signed up without hesitation. In the end, it was a great decision! We were able to enjoy delicious food while watching the hula dancers, and the person in charge was very kind. Above all, the show was so much fun. Being in the front row made it even better, and the variety of the show kept us entertained; the time flew by!

姉と初めての二人旅で訪れたハワイ♡
私はフラを習っていて、姉も昔習っていたので二人でショーを観に行きたいね！と話していました。フラだけのショーもあったのですが、姉の希望で「ロック・ア・フラ」に行くことに決まりました。旅行会社のオプションツアーもあったのですが、ベルトラさんの「２人目無料」のコチラのツアーを見つけて迷わず申し込みました。結果、大正解でした！フラダンサーさんの踊りを見ながら、色々なお料理を美味しく食べることが出来たのと、担当してくださった方か親切に対応してくださり、何よりもショーが楽しかったです。最前列ですぐ間近だったのもあるのですが、バリエーション豊かなショーに飽きることなく、あっという間の時間でした。

I was relieved that they arrived on time for the early morning pickup. Although the conversation was only in English, I somehow understood the nuances and was able to spend my time without anxiety. Hanauma Bay was beautiful as always after such a long time.

早朝のお迎えだったけど時間通りに来ていただき安心しました。
英語のみの会話だったけとなんとなくニュアンスは伝わり不安なく過ごせました。
久しぶりのハナウマベイはやっぱり綺麗でした。

I participated with four friends. We were the only Japanese people there, but with some drinks and interactions with people from other countries, it became a very enjoyable memory. The view of Waikiki from the ocean was a bit cloudy, but the sunset from the ocean side was really beautiful and definitely worth experiencing!

友人4人と参加しました。日本人は私達だけでしたが、お酒も入り、他国の方との交流もあってとても楽しい思い出となりました。海からのワイキキ、少し曇りでしたが海側のサンセットもとっても綺麗で乗る価値ありです！

What an amazing experience. You will not regret doing this activity. Jeff was our pilot and he came with a lot of experience under his belt. He had so much knowledge about Oahu and his narrating was great. I would definitely do this again 100%.

I thought it would be better if the fireworks display lasted a little longer, but viewing them from the sea was exceptional. The cruise lasted quite a while, and the staff were friendly, which was really nice.

もう少し花火打ち上げ時間が長ければいいと思ったが海からの鑑賞は格別だった。結構長く航行してくれるしスタッフもフレンドリーでとても良かった。

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.
