All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The weather could have been better but we made the most of it.
The cruise had free flowing drinks and staff were great fun.

Twenty years ago, when I boarded, it was cramped and fully booked... The windows were small and hard to see out of, but this time I read in the reviews that the sea is clearer in the morning, so I made a reservation for the early morning. There happened to be only six of us on board... It felt like we had the place to ourselves, and my family was happy.

20年前に乗船した時は狭いし、満席で…
窓も小さくて見難かったけれど、今回は口コミを読んで朝の方が海が濁っていないとしり、朝イチで予約。
乗船したのが、たまたま6人だけで…ゆったり貸切気分で過ごせました。家族も喜んでいました。

The guides for this tour are all American, so if you don't understand English, you won't be able to enjoy it 100%. There is a Japanese audio guide available, but the guides tell a lot of jokes, so understanding them will enhance your experience.
The submarine is anchored offshore, and you will take a shuttle boat to get there. There are restrooms on the shuttle boat, so please take care of that before boarding.
At a depth of 30 meters, you can see the wreckage of fighter planes and sunken ships. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming above the sunken ship. The course lasts 40 minutes, but it goes by in no time. It seems that the sea is less murky in the morning.

このツアーのガイドはすべてアメリカ人なので、英語がわからないと100%は楽しめません。日本語オーディオガイドがありますが、ガイドの話はジョークが多いので、それがわかるともっと楽しめます。
潜水艦は沖に停泊しており、そこまでシャトルボートで向かいます。トイレはシャトルボートにあるので、乗り込む前に済ませておいてください。
水深30mmで潜ると、戦闘機の残骸や沈没船が見れます。今回ラッキーなことにウミガメが沈没船の上を泳いでいました。40分のコースですが、あっという間に終了します。午前中の方が海は濁ってないみたいです。

It was interesting to say, enjoyed the environment and the food. Was with my girlfriend and she loved it. Was at a table on the edge to the starboard side. What topped it all was doing it on the night of the fireworks! Would do again.

On the last day of our stay, we booked a VIP backstage tour without explaining the details to my wife (just that there would be a buffet and hula dancing) and checked in on time. We were welcomed with leis and spent a little time with our guide, Alexis, who provided clear and friendly explanations in English before being taken to the Green (VIP) room. We enjoyed a welcome drink of sparkling wine and took a commemorative photo. There were snacks like cheese, but we only had a little since we were saving room for the buffet later.

After that, we went on the backstage tour. We even got to go on stage before the audience arrived, experiencing things from the performers' perspective. When we returned to our seats, the luau buffet began. There were some groups seated, but it seemed like the audience was only about half full (only the tables in front of the two entrances were occupied). We also received a ticket for an additional drink, so I had a second Blue Hawaii, which was delicious—highly recommended!

Hawaiian songs and hula performances took place next to our table, and at the end, there was a customary invitation for guests to join in the dance. I recommend giving it a try! The luau featured roast beef and whole roasted pig, which were very tasty. My wife said she wished she could have eaten more of the roasted pig. Our guide's words, "Eat until you're full and be happy," were definitely put into practice.

Afterward, we moved to the theater for showtime. The VIP seats were in the front row center, allowing us to feel the energy of the show up close. We enjoyed performances from a slightly grown Elvis and a smaller Michael, along with hula and fire dancing, without getting bored. The fire dance was particularly impressive, and we could feel the heat from the flames—so thrilling! My wife was extremely excited about the fire dance.

We were told that as long as we didn't use flash, we could take photos and videos on stage, which was a nice surprise. After the show, we were sent off by Elvis and Michael, and we had a truly enjoyable time, feeling fulfilled both in our stomachs and hearts. Mahalo!

When we came out after the show, it was past 9 PM. Considering the four hours we spent, I think this tour offers great value for the price (especially when you think about the cost of a steak dinner!).

滞在最終日にバックステージツアー付きVIPで予約し、家内には内容詳しく説明しない（ビュッフェ付きでフラダンス見れるよ。だけ）で時間にチェックイン。
レイの歓迎をされ、ガイドのアレクサスさん（？）のフランクで分かりやすい英語の説明や会話で少し時間をつぶして、グリーン（VIP）ルームにご案内。
スパークリングワインのWelcomeドリンク＆記念写真を撮っていただきます。
チーズなどのおつまみもありましたが、この後のビュッフェのため少しだけいただきます。
その後、バックステージなどのツアーです。
まだお客さん入っていないステージの上にもあがれ、演者の視点なども体験。
席に戻って、ルアウビュッフェの開始。団体さんも席についてますが、入りは半分くらい？（２か所ある手前のテーブルのみ）
ドリンクも追加１杯のチケットついてたので、２杯目はブルーハワイをいただきましたが、これ美味しい～♪お勧めですよ♪
テーブル脇でハワイアンソングとフラが行われ、最後は恒例（？）お客様を招いて一緒にダンス。挑戦するのもお勧めしま～す♪
ルアウにはローストビーフや豚の丸焼きなどあり、大変おいしかったです。
家内は豚の丸焼きもっと食べたかったと言うくらい。ガイドさんの「お腹いっぱいになってHappyになってね。」を実践しました。
その後劇場に移動してショータイム。
VIP席は最前列中央で熱気満々のショーを肌で感じられます。
ちょっと成長気味のエルビスとちょっと小振りのマイケルのステージとフラ、ファイヤーダンスなど飽きること無く見れます。
特にファイヤーダンスは火の暑さも感じられ、迫力満点！
家内はファイヤーダンスが凄い！と興奮しまくりでした。
ステージは写真もビデオもフラッシュたかなければ、「内緒だけどOK。止めに来れないでしょ？」って説明受けました。
ステージ後はエルビス、マイケルにお見送りされ大変楽しい時間を過ごせ、お腹も心も満たされました。マハロ～♪
ステージ終わって出てきたら２１時過ぎ、４時間を過ごしての値段であればコスパ良い（ステーキディナーの値段を考えればお値打ちですよ～！）といえるツアーだと思います。

It was a comfortable catamaran boat. It was a bit small, but we were able to see several whales swimming perfectly. Thanks to our cheerful guide, we really enjoyed the cruise.

快適なカタマランボートでした。やや小ぶりでしたが、何頭かの鯨が泳ぐ姿もバッチリ。陽気なガイドさんのおかげでクルーズもenjoy出来ました。

I found the catamaran and understood the meeting point, but the reception was not open at the meeting time, so there was a bit of a wait. After the reception ended, there was more waiting, but when the catamaran that had been docked suddenly started moving out to sea, I felt a bit anxious. Since no passengers were on board, I thought it would be fine. We moved to the boarding area and boarded again. As mentioned in other people's experiences, there were hardly any Japanese people, just our family. Communication with the staff was not established, but it wasn't a problem. They asked if we wanted drinks, and we could respond in simple English. We encountered whales while sailing. It was a windy day, but it wasn't too bumpy, which was reassuring. I was wondering whether to prepare motion sickness medication, but this time I was fine. Occasionally, we got splashed with water, but I enjoyed that too. We could also see the other side of Diamond Head. There were various sailing options, and I was unsure which one to choose, but if you just want to enjoy sailing, I think this one is affordable and recommended. I sat under the sail, which provided shade and was a nice spot. Thank you very much.

カタマランを見つけて集合場所を理解でしましたが受付は集合時間にはオープンしておらず少し待ち時間があります
受付が終了してそこからまた待ち時間がありますが、停泊していたカタマランが突然動き始め海へ出た時は少し焦りました
誰も客が乗車していなかったので問題ないだろうとは思いましたが
乗船場所まで移動して改めて乗船しました
他の方の体験談にもありましたが日本人はほとんどおらず私たち家族だけです
スタッフとの会話も成立しませんが特に問題ありません
ドリンクはいりませんか、と確認してくれますが簡単な英語で返答可能です
セーリング中にクジラにも遭遇しました
風の強い日でしたが、それほど揺れなくて安心
酔い止めを用意しようか迷っていましたが今回はなんともありませんでした
時折水しぶきがかかりますがそれも楽しめました
タイヤモンドヘッドの反対側も見ることができます
さまざまなセーリングの選択肢がありどれにしようか迷いましたが
セーリング自体を楽しみたいだけであればお安くておすすめだと思います
帆の下に座りましたが、ちょうど帆の影になって日陰でよい場所でした

We took a trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary. It was both of our first time visiting Hawaii. My wife has been learning hula dancing in Japan, so she was looking forward to the hula dance show. Among the many shows available, we chose the Rock-a-Hula show because it seemed the most exciting and lively.

After checking in, we began a tour of the backstage area. Along with a couple from Saitama who were of similar age, we enjoyed some snacks with our welcome drinks while chatting. The dancer who guided us (I recognized her later when she performed in the show) explained various aspects of the show’s behind-the-scenes. As we looked at the costumes and dressing rooms used in the show, we felt excited for the performance that was about to begin.

Before the show started, we had dinner with an abundance of food that left us completely full. During the intermission, my wife eagerly participated in a hula dance lesson, showcasing the results of her practice.

Finally, the show began. Our seats were right in the center of the front row. After the opening hula dance, a slightly heavier Elvis and Michael showcased some impressive dance moves. The show featured a wonderful female singer with an amazing voice, stunning dancers, and powerful fire dancing by the male dancers, leading up to a grand finale. The show lasted a good amount of time, and we enjoyed every moment. On our way out, we took photos with all the performers, creating wonderful memories for our anniversary.

　結婚37周年の記念日に合わせたハワイ旅行でした。夫婦ともに初めてのハワイ旅行です。妻は日本でフラダンスを習っているので、フラダンスショーは楽しみにしていました。数あるショーの中で、一番盛り上がって楽しそうなショーだったので、ロック・ア・フラショーを選択しました。
　受付を済ませると、バックヤード見学の案内が始まりました。埼玉からお見えになった同年代のご夫婦と一緒に、ウエルカムドリンクでおつまみを食べながら、談笑していると、案内人のダンサー（後からショーで踊っていらしたのをみて、それとわかりました）の方が、いろいろとこのショーの舞台裏を説明してくださいました。ショーで使われる衣装や楽屋を見ながら、これから始まるショーにわくわくしました。
　ショーが始まる前のディナーでは、食べきれないほどの料理でおなかいっぱいになり、合間のフラダンスレッスンには、妻が率先して参加し、日頃の練習の成果を見せつけていました。
　いよいよショーが始まりました。席は最前列のど真ん中です。オープニングのフラダンスのあと、ちょっと太めのエルビスとマイケルが、なかなか切れのあるダンスを見せてくれました。素晴らしい歌声の女性シンガーとスタイル抜群のダンサーたちのショー、男性ダンサーの迫力あるファイアーダンスと続き、フィナーレを迎えました。ショーの時間もたっぷりあり、最後まで楽しませていただきました。帰りには出演者の皆さんと写真を撮らせてもらい、結婚記念日の良い思い出になりました。

everyone i brought on the boat was so satisfied with the experience. we all had so much fun and the staff was very kind and friendly! (and the drinks were amazing :))

What an amazing time! We got picked up a minute away from our hotel and the bus driver even shared some Oahu history during the ride! We opted for the five star dinner and it was incredible. We felt like VIPs! Incredible food, the BEST steak I have ever had and delicious champagne. Live Jazz music on our deck and stunning views. Definitely going to do it again next time we visit! I recommend bringing a jacket as it can get pretty windy on the outside deck and indoors is air-conditioned.

Best experience EVER!!!! The music was amazing, the drinks were good, and the boat was spacious!

Check-in starts at 8:30 at the desk located just before the pier. Three cheerful female crew members operate the boat. Shortly after departure, we were welcomed by a whale. After a round trip towards Diamond Head, we took a break around Turtle Canyon, where we could see a few turtles. It was about an hour of sailing while quenching our thirst with soft drinks. There's nothing particularly special, but for this price, I was very satisfied.

8時半から桟橋手前にひとり座っているデスクでチェックイン。
女性3人のクルーが元気良く操船してくれる。
出航早々クジラのお出迎え。ダイアモンドヘッド方面往復後、タートルキャニオン周りでひと休み。少しカメも見られる。
ソフトドリンクで喉を潤しながら小一時間のセーリングでした。
特殊なことは何もないけどこの値段なら大満足。

The crew was nice. The cost was to include 3 Mai Tais. Whatever they served us was not Mai Tais. They didn’t look or taste like Mai Tais, no juices or dark rum.
We had fun but they need to improve the drinks and actually provide Mai Tais not something they concocted with white rum
And ginger ale. What we got was not what we paid for.

Hello everybody,

Let me share our experience (honeymooners) on the 5 Stars Course of that Dinner Cruise with you.

In terms of hospitality, starting from the pick-up crew, to the captains and waitress (many thanks to lovely Jordan), it was just great.

We had an super easy pick up with a bus, where everyone received a sticker depending on the course they’ve booked and then took around 15-30 minutes to get the harbor.

Everyone had a warm welcome with local dance and music in front of the boat while boarding. Once we have taken our seats, we were welcomed with nice champagne and some cheese and ham plate with crackers.

In terms of the food in that day, it was simply amazing and tasty. ESPECIALLY the served meat. Whoever cooked that: genius!

Anyhow, besides food and drinks we got the chance to explore the boat between the food breaks. We had an amazing view on Waikiki/Diamond Head/other boats, even though it was cloudy. It was still very enjoyable. And also we had the great luck to see whales! That was the cherry on top.

Well, besides all of that going on, we had live entertainment (pianist, some Saxophon and some singer - all just awesome). They’ll also take a picture of you, so for 30$ you can purchase them.
In the end, everyone with some special occasion was asked to dance in the middle of the room, which was pretty romantic.


Overall, it was really worth it.

Minus points for:
- photo only available as data file for another 20$ (why?!)
- pretty chilly inside the boat (but guess this depends on the season)


Overall, just great! Would love to board once more in the future.
Thanks everyone!

We were a group of 11, and everyone voted this the best activity of our time in Waikiki.
Book early in your trip, as we were rescheduled due to the weather, to ensure that we had the best experience and visibility.
Boarding from Waikiki Beach is so convenient and meant we didn't have to spend time and money getting to the harbour.
Crew were great fun and helped to guide the group to turtle sightings.
Drinks are included!

I never tried scuba diving and I can't swim well so I was worried but the scuba diving team was amazing.
They were very attentive and helped each diver in the group to ensure we had a great time in the water. The lagoon is in the city very close to Waikiki Beach but not crowded. It is a beautiful and quiet place. It felt very safe.
We saw corals and many different fish and we got a few short videos of the experience as part of the tour.
If you are looking for a safe introduction to scuba diving this guided diving tour is definitely a great choice.

This activity is so much fun! Round trip it took about 2 hours from getting on to getting off the boat, so it's perfect if you're looking for a quick boat ride while in Waikiki. The fireworks show were great and the perfect start or ending to a Friday night. The crew we had was amazing - very quick bar service, very stiff drinks, and they were the most helpful and fun! You can tell I was having a good time by the attached photo lol. FYI you will get a bit wet if you choose to sit on the catamaran's net seating at the front, but the boat is very comfortable and everyone had a good view from anywhere they were seated while the fireworks were going on. Also FYI they don't let the sails down during this night boat trip. Definitely recommend for just an easygoing and cool experience.

I purchased the Rock-A-Hula Luau Dinner with Green Room VIP Package as part of an early Valentines trip to the Island of Oahu. We are a couple who have been to each of the main Hawaiian Islands and look for unique experiences each place we travel. We have participated in other Luau's in Hawaii and similar other events in other places we have traveled. Upon arrival we were greeted with flower lei's. Then had Champagne and appetizers in the Green Room which had furnishings from Elvis's home. Cameron the manager who gave us the tour was very informative and could tell he had a passion for the production and the crew. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming and during dinner came around and performed various songs, dances, and even did a "Hula Lesson" for anyone who wanted to participate. The food and drinks were very good as well. Following Dinner we went back to the main theatre for the show which was a good blend of history and entertainment. We appreciated the screens showing the history and how it coordinated with the entertainment on stage. Overall the Green room/Backstage tour experience was very good and we are glad to have opted for this option but also would recommend just the dinner and show experience.

The staff & crew aboard boat were amazing! All the good vibes & energy were there from the moment we walked up to departure. Drinks were flowing, DJ was playing great tunes, opportunity for amazing photos & videos, and ability to take advantage of all parts of the boat. There were other boats full of people looking at ours that were jealous because of how much fun we all were having!! Highly recommend & would book again when we travel back to Hawaii….10/10!!!!!

This time, since it was my first visit to Hawaii in a while, I booked a dinner cruise for the last day. We were guided to the fourth floor, which featured a gorgeous space and a spacious deck. You can immediately tell it’s a special setting. The sunset view across the sea from the window, combined with the magical beauty of the sunset, creates the perfect location. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but everything was delicious with delicate seasoning. By the time we reached the main course, I was usually quite full, and even if they served a steak with an overly marbled texture at that point, I could only manage a bite. However, the steak had a good balance of texture, which I personally rated highly. There was piano music, saxophone, and live jazz singing, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that matched the dress code. The captain greeted each guest, and the staff's attentive service was refined. Since I participated with my spouse, I imagined how wonderful it would be to spend this special time with all our children as well. I definitely want to participate again. T.K

I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first sunset cruise on the Honolulu. Perhaps because it was a weekday, all the middle seats were empty, and we were seated by the window with a view. The atmosphere was very nice, and the guests, wearing bright red dresses, added a touch of elegance to the space. The course meal included an appetizer of assorted cheeses, a salad (with lobster), a sorbet in between, thick-cut roast beef with truffle mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and coffee. Everything was truly delicious, and I could really feel the quality of 5A. With live performances, it was a dinner cruise that left me completely satisfied. S.K

今回は久しぶりのハワイという事で、最終日にディナークルーズを予約。
4階部分に案内され、ゴージャスな空間と、広めのデッキ。
特別な空間とすぐにわかります。
窓から見れる海を挟んでの夕景は、日の入り時の幻想的な美しさと合わさって、最高のロケーションに。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、繊細さを持つ味付けでどれも美味しい。
メイン料理に辿り着く頃、大抵満腹近くなり、そのタイミングで霜降り過ぎる肉質のステーキなど出されても到底一口しか食べれないが、バランスの良い肉質のステーキで、個人的には◎。
ピアノ演奏、サックス、ジャスの生歌があり、ドレスコードに合った演出に、非日常感があります。
キャプテンが一人一人に挨拶され、スタッフの方の丁寧なもてなしも洗練されたものがあります。
今回夫婦で参加したため、子供たちもみんな連れてこの特別な時間を過ごせたらと想像した程素晴らしい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
是非また参加したいです。
T.K

サンセットクルーズは何度か参加しましたが、
ホノルル号でのサンセットクルーズははじめてでした。
平日という事もあってか、真ん中の席は全て空いていて、景色が見える窓際に案内されました。
雰囲気もとても良く、来てるお客さまも真っ赤なドレスなど一流の雰囲気を醸し出され、空間に華を添えています。
コース料理も前菜チーズ盛合わせ、サラダ（ロブスター付き）、一度シャーベットを挟み、
厚切りローストビーフにトリュフ入りマッシュポテト、チーズケーキとコーヒーでした。
どれも本当に美味しくて流石5Aだなと感じました。
生演奏ライブもあって大満足のディナークルーズでした。

It was a senior trip with three friends, and we were blessed with great weather; the sunset and location were perfect. I was able to listen to Hawaiian music live for the first time in a while, and I had a wonderful time enjoying the elegant dance and meal. Recently, it seems like luau shows have been focusing mainly on hula and fire dancing, so I was really happy to hear Hawaiian songs live. If I get the chance again, I plan to visit.

友人3人のシニア旅でしたが、天気にも恵まれて、夕陽もロケーションも最高でした。
久々にハワイアンを生歌で聞く事ができ、優美な舞と食事に満足した時間を過ごせました。
最近のルアウ・ショーはフラ＆ファイヤーダンスだけに重きをおいている感じがしていたので、ライブでのハワイアン・ソングは嬉しかったです。
またチャンスがあれば、訪れようと思います。

The event began on time with a glass of champagne. I must admit that the food was better than expected. The staff waited to serve each course until we were at the table, as we often went out to take air between courses and take pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short dinner cruise with romantic/relaxing ambiance.

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.

The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!

The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!

Mahalo to SOH for going the extra mile to create a magical space!

We did the dinner cruise with the Nova Five Star on the 4th deck of the boat and it was a treat and we really had a great time. Their table set up at the Super Nova Room was so beautiful, clean, so organized, and elegant! We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.

Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.

For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

I participated in a VIP experience to see hula dancing and fire dancing during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii!

First, I was guided from the show's back room to the VIP room, where champagne and snacks were served, really elevating the mood! The staff explained everything while escorting us from the back room to the stage, and I got to wear a costume on my head, which was a precious experience.

During the meal, we were welcomed with songs played on the ukulele and enjoyed hula dancing. The VIP treatment was great, allowing us to go to the buffet first and included drinks, and the food was seasoned in a way that was easy for Japanese people to enjoy! The fried fish was incredibly delicious! The Mai Tai was the easiest drink to enjoy.

The main show was overwhelming in scale compared to overseas performances, and it was incredibly fun! There were Hawaiian songs, songs from Moana, and of course, hula dancing, along with impressive performances featuring humor from Elvis and Michael. The fire dancing was breathtaking! As VIPs, we got to sit in the front row, so we could feel the heat and enjoy the proximity to the performers, which added to the excitement!

At the very beginning, we were given a commemorative photo in the VIP room, making it the best memory of our honeymoon trip!!!

ハネムーンハワイ旅行の思い出にフラダンスや、ファイヤーダンスが見たくVIPで参加しました！
まずはショーのバックルームからVIPルームに案内されシャンパンやおつまみが振る舞われ、気分が高まります！！
スタッフがバックルームからステージまで説明しながら案内してくれて、頭につける衣装もつけさせてもらい貴重な体験でした。
食事の際には、ウクレレで歌の歓迎や、フラダンスが見られます。優先的にビュッフェに取りに行けたりドリンクがついていたりとVIP待遇もよく、食事も日本人にも食べやすい味付けでした！魚のフライがめちゃうまです！ドリンクはマイタイがいちばん飲みやすいです。
メインショーでは、海外の規模に圧倒されっぱなしで、最高に楽しいです！ハワイの歌、モアナの歌、フラダンスはもちろん、エルビスやマイケルの笑いありの演出が印象的です。ファイヤーダンスに関しては圧巻です！VIPは最前列で見られるので、温度感や、パフォーマーとの距離が近いのでより迫力を楽しめます！
一番はじめにVIPルームでの記念写真をプレゼントされるので、ハネムーン旅行最高の思い出になりました！！！

Everything was great, the food, the show, the staff. It was a perfect evening and made for a perfect Anniversary.

Mahalo to you all.

I wanted to see a wonderful hula dance while in Hawaii, so I signed up for this tour. I did some research and found various outdoor venues, but I chose this all-weather facility.

As a result, it was a good decision as the air conditioning was effective. I participated in a plan that included front-row seating and a backstage tour, where the manager personally explained the costumes and equipment.

On the day of the event, there were only three groups participating in this plan, allowing us to enjoy a luxurious experience.

The buffet was delicious, plentiful, and I was very satisfied. When I went to get food, I was prioritized among many participants, which made it feel special.

After the meal, I got to see the hula dance from the front row, which was the best time. There were also shows featuring impersonators of famous people and fire dances, all of which were fantastic. Being able to enjoy a beer while watching was a luxurious experience.

If you're looking for hula dancing, I recommend booking this plan at Rock-a-Hula.

ハワイでせっかくなら素晴らしいフラダンスを見たいと思いこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
いろいろ調べて屋外会場のところもありますが、こちらの全天候型の施設を選びました。

結果、空調も効いていて正解でした。
最前列かつバックヤードツアーもあるプランで参加して、マネージャーから直々に衣装や設備など説明を受けました。

当日はこのプランの参加は3組で贅沢な時間を、過ごすことができました。

ブッフェも美味しく、ボリュームもあり大満足でした。
取りにいくときもたくさんの参加者の中で最優先で案内されて特別感がありました。

食事後はお目当てのフラダンスを最前列で見れて最高の時間でした。
有名な方のそっくりさんのショーやファイヤーダンスも見れどれも素晴らしかったです。
ビールを飲みながら鑑賞できるのも贅沢な時間でした。

フラダンスであればロック・ア・フラ、その中でもこのプランで予約されることをお勧めします。

From the moment we set sail, the sparkling sea and the pleasant wind made me feel great, and I thought it would be enough even if we didn't see any whales! However, shortly after departing, we were greeted by a large pod of dolphins. They seemed to playfully swim alongside the boat, and I was thrilled to see so many adorable dolphins.

A little further ahead, we spotted two whales spouting water. They weren't very large, but their size was clearly different from the dolphins, moving gracefully. Throughout the trip, dolphins and whales appeared alternately, making the two and a half hours fly by. The crew mentioned that we were particularly lucky to see so many whales today.

出航前からキラキラ光る海と風に気持ちよくて、クジラ見られなくても十分！と思っていましたが、出航して少ししたら、まずはイルカの大群。
ふざけながら船に並走してくれるようで、たくさんの可愛いイルカたちがみられて感激。
その後その少し先で潮を吹くクジラが2頭。
それほど大きくないクジラでしたが、明らかにイルカとは違う大きさ。ゆったりした動き。
その後もイルカやクジラが代わるがわる現れて、あっという間の２時間半でした。
今日は特にたくさんのクジラが見られたよと船の方もおっしゃってました。

I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 2019 and was impressed by its beauty and the abundance of fish. However, since then, tours have been discontinued and reservations are now required for entry, making it difficult to visit on my own. This time, I participated in a tour. Although the morning is early, I think it's nice because there are fewer crowds. Even if you're not good at English, as long as you ask about the meeting place and time for the return, there shouldn't be any problems. I was worried about strong winds the day before, but I was lucky that the weather was good on the day of the tour.

2019年に初めてハナウマ湾に行き、美しさとたくさんの魚を観ることが出来、感動しましたが、その後ツアーが無くなったり、入場予約が必要になったりで個人で行くのも難しく、今回、このツアーに参加しました。朝は早いですが混雑が少なくていいと思います。英語が不得手でも帰りの集合場所と時間さえ聞いておけば問題ないです。前日まで風が強く心配でしたが当日は天気良くラッキーでした。

The Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor of Waikiki's bustling area has excellent access! I debated whether to get a ticket with a buffet dinner, but I didn't want to be restricted by time, so I opted for just the viewing ticket and enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a restaurant within the center.

The seating is arranged in a circular shape with 180-degree views, divided into three blocks, with the center being reserved seating and the sides being general seating. Since it was a weekday night, there were only about a third of the seats filled on the day I attended.

The show included hula dancing, a live performance by two superstars, fire performances, and Disney songs, making for a fun night that really lifted my spirits!

ワイキキ繁華街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階の常設施設内なので、アクセス抜群です！
ブュッフェディナー付きのチケットか悩みましたが、時間の縛りが嫌だったので観覧のみのチケットにして夜ご飯はセンター内のレストランでゆっくり過ごしました。
席は180度円形型の座席で、3ブロック分かれている内の中央が指定席、左右が自由席のようです。
平日の夜だったこともあってか、観覧した日は三分の一くらいのお客さんでした。
フラダンンス＋スーパースター2名のライブ＋ファイヤーパフォーマンス＋ディズニーソングと盛りだくさんの内容で、テンションが上がる楽しい夜が過ごせました！
