The fireworks on Friday night in Waikiki were amazing! The captain and the staff were kind, and I had a great time. I want to go again.

ワイキキの金曜日の夜の花火最高でした！船長さんもスタッフさんも親切で楽しい時を過ごせました。また行きたいです。

The boat I wanted to take was canceled due to maintenance, and I made a last-minute reservation without much expectation. However, being close to the water and feeling the pleasant sea breeze while watching Waikiki transform from day to night was really wonderful. The casual style allowed us to sit at the front of the boat and relax. We could see the happy Friday fireworks from the front, making it feel like we had them all to ourselves. Drinks were unlimited, and the crew promptly checked on us when our drinks ran low and made more for us. The food was delicious too. They brought desserts around to the guests, and everyone was really nice. Although I'm not very good at English, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. I usually don't get motion sickness in cars or boats, but I was a bit worried about seasickness when we headed out. Surprisingly, it didn't sway much even while docked. I felt the price was a bit high when I signed up, but it was totally worth it. It was the best experience!

乗りたい船がメンテナンスでキャンセルになり、ぎりぎりで予約して期待してなかったのですが、海面が近くて、海風が心地よくワイキキの町を日が沈み夜景に変化していく姿もとっても良かったです。ラフなスタイルのため船の前の方に座ってのんびりできます。happy　Fridayの花火他の船より前で見ることができます。花火独り占めな感じです。飲み物も飲み放題でした。船員さんも飲み物なくなるとすぐ聞いてくれて作ってくれます。食べ物もおいしかったです。デザートを船のあちこちにいるお客さんの所に持ってきてくれてとってもいい人達でした。英語得意ではないですが日本語できるスタッフいるので安心でした。普段車酔いや船酔いなどしない方ですが、沖に出るため船酔いを気にしましたが停泊中も意外と揺れなかったです。お値段は少し高いかなーと感じて申し込みましたが全然良かったです。最高でした。

Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.

船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。

The personnel were attentive to the needs of their clients. Check in was a breeze.
Sailing on this catamaran was an enjoyable time, along with good drinks and a great view!
The skipper and bartender/2nd hand were very friendly, entertaining and are very competent sailors. I would recommend this activity to anyone who likes to sail and want to see a portion of the island from a different perspective, this ride is for you! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

While enjoying a Mai Tai, we slowly went sailing. There were more foreign participants than Japanese, and the atmosphere and vibe were truly American. If the weather is favorable, it will be the best sunset cruise, but even with a bit of cloud cover, the colors of the sky gradually changed, which was quite moving. Since you board directly from the beach barefoot, it's best to wear clothes that can get wet, and depending on the weather, I think a light jacket is necessary.

マイタイを飲みながら、ゆっくりとセーリングしていきます。
日本人より外国人の参加が多く、雰囲気、乗りは、まさにアメリカンです。
天気に恵まれれば最高なサンセットクルーズとなりますが、少々曇っていても、空の色が徐々に変わっていって、なかなか感動ものでした。
浜辺から裸足で直接乗船するので、濡れてもよい恰好で、天気によっては寒いので羽織ものは必要かと思います。

It's definitely geared towards tourists, but it's the perfect place to experience the vibe of Hawaii! The dinner buffet is also of very high quality!

がっつり観光客向けですが、ハワイの気分を味わうには最高です！ディナーブッフェもかなりクオリティーが高いです！

When I go to Hawaii, I always feel like I have to see this show... I've watched it about 4 to 5 times, but I think the structure wasn't as good as before? It seemed like they focused too much on hula dancing, which diminished the fun of the traditional impersonation show. The person who resembles Elvis, who always performs, is stable, but compared to the impersonators I've seen before like Steven Tyler and Celine Dion, I felt a bit disappointed with the others. However, since different performers come out each time, I think I will go again.

ハワイに行ったら必ず…という感じで、４～５回は観ていますが、構成が今までで一番良くなかったような？
フラダンスを押し出し過ぎて、従来のモノマネショーの楽しさが半減していた気がします。
いつも出ているエルビスに似ている方は安定していますが、他は今まで見たスティーヴン・タイラー、セリーヌ・ディオン等のモノマネの方と比べて、ちょっと残念だった気がしました。
でも毎回出てくる方が違うので、また行くと思いますが。

This was my second time on a dinner cruise, but this ship didn't have any special stage performances, just a few band members and one Hawaiian dancer, which felt quite simple. There wasn't really a show to speak of, and there were no announcements for birthday or wedding celebrations, which made it a bit lonely. The cheerful atmosphere of Hawaii is very enjoyable, so it was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't too high, so maybe that's to be expected? Since we were a group of six, we had reserved seats, but some groups had to sit together at shared tables. It's also based on the order of boarding, so I recommend boarding early.

夕食付きクルージングは、2度目ですが、今回の船には、特段舞台もなく、数名のバンドと一人のハワイアンダンサーでさっぱりしたものでした。
ショーと言えるものはなく、お誕生日お祝い、結婚祝いなどの呼びかけもなく、ちょっと寂しかったかな。ハワイの陽気な雰囲気は、とても楽しいので、
残金でした。料金もそれ程なのでやむ得ないか？
6人で行ったので、予約席がありましたが、数名のグループは自由席で、相席状態でした。それも、乗船順なので、早めに乗船することを勧めます。

We loved it so much we're going to be booking again for next Friday!

I was able to enjoy the show from the front and center seat☆
The hula was wonderful!! The food was delicious too!
I'm glad I could participate!
Thank you very much☆

一番前の真ん中の席でショーを堪能できました☆
素晴らしいフラでした！！食事も美味しかったです！
参加できて良かったです！
ありがとうございました☆

This time there were 49 people. It was my second time sailing.

I wondered if there was a toilet on this boat, but when I sat down, I found that the area near the toilet was quite spacious after opening the red lid and going down the stairs. People who had drunk too much kept going in and out.

This time we set sail at 7:30, and since the fireworks started at 7:45, everyone chatted and drank for the remaining hour, and it was once again a lot of fun.

今回も49名
2回目のセーリングでした。

この船にトイレ？と思いましたが、座ったところがトイレの近くで、赤の蓋を開けて、階段を降りると思ったより結構広いスペースがー
飲みすぎた人たちが入れ替わり立ち代り入って行きましたー

今回は7時30分出航で、7時45分から花火だったので、残り1時間はみんな喋って飲んでとまたまた楽しかったです。

I reluctantly participated here as I couldn't secure a reservation for the Star of Honolulu and Majestic. However, this cruise takes a detour to ensure a clear view of Diamond Head, and thanks to the surrounding sailboats, you can capture beautiful photos. Unfortunately, on the day of the cruise, the weather was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset, but it would have been visible without any issues on a clear day. The buffet can be thought of as simple fast food and drinks, so I don't think it will be a major issue. As for the evening fireworks, it was surprisingly close, which was quite moving.

One point to note right after boarding is that the announcements will be made in Japanese in the cabin and in English on the deck. It’s definitely advisable to secure a spot on the deck. The announcements include the locations of the restrooms (two at the back), explanations of the boat/life jackets in case of an emergency, and how to order drinks, which are all straightforward matters.

スターオブホノルル号とマジェスティック号の予約が取れず、渋々こちらに参加しました。
然るに、本回遊はダイヤモンドヘッドがしっかり見えるまで迂回し、周りの帆船の甲斐あって、美しい写真が撮れます。当日は残念ながら曇天につき夕陽は拝めませんでしたが、快晴であれば問題なく見れたでしょう。ビュッフェは簡単なファストフード&ドリンクと思って頂ければ大きな問題にはならないと思います。後は夜の花火ですが、意外と間近で拝見することになり感無量になります。
一点、乗船直後の諸注意連絡ですが、日本語説明をキャビンで、英語説明をデッキで行います。どう考えても場所取りはデッキを押さえるべきです。連絡事項はトイレの場所（後方2箇所）、不慮の事故の際のボート/ライフジャケットの説明、ドリンクオーダーの仕方などで全く問題ない内容です。

We participated as a couple. We arrived at the venue a little after 6, handed our voucher to the reception, and received stickers to wear on our chests. We enjoyed a buffet while listening to Hawaiian music. All the dishes were delicious, and the chicken was especially recommended. After finishing our meal, we took a short break, met Elvis, took photos, and then entered the venue to view the costumes and other displays. The show we watched from the front row on the second floor was very enjoyable. Even though we've been to Hawaii many times, it was our first time participating, which felt like a missed opportunity. My wife loves hula, and I love Michael, so I thought we should have come earlier. After the show, we bought a commemorative photo with Elvis and later got autographs from Elvis and Michael on our pictures. If we come to Hawaii again, we will definitely participate. When we return, I will recommend it to my friends who love Hawaii.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。6時過ぎに会場に行ってバウチャーを受け付けに渡して胸に貼るシールを貰ってからハワイアンを聴きながらのブッフェを頂きました。どの料理も美味しく特にチキンはおススメです。食事を済ませて少し休憩を挟んでエルビスのお迎えと写真撮影を終えて会場に入って衣装などを観覧しました。2階の最前列で観たショーは大変楽しく何十回とハワイに来ているのに初参加とは惜しい事をしました。妻はフラ好き私はマイケル好きなのでもっと早くに来るべきだったと思いました。ショーが終わって帰りにエルビスとの記念写真を買ってその後にエルビスとマイケルから写真にサインして頂きました。又ハワイに来ましたら参加させていただきます。帰りましたらハワイ好きの友人達にもお勧めさせて貰います。

I participated on the last day in Hawaii. As a result, I had a really fun time and made great memories! I highly recommend it! There were only a few Japanese people, which was nice since it was English-only. The staff were friendly and considerate, so I think those who are not confident in their English will have no worries. The people I boarded with were also very lively, and unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset very well, but the atmosphere and the breeze were pleasant, and I was satisfied. Be careful not to drink too many Mai Tais (laughs). I want to do it again!

Hawaii最終日に参加しました。
結果、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことができ良い思い出になりました！オススメします！
英語対応オンリーで日本人は少なく、それが良かった！
スタッフも気さくで気遣ってくれるので英語が苦手な方でも心配ないと思います。
一緒に乗船した方々もノリノリで、残念ながら参加した日は曇っていてサンセットがあまり見えませんでしたが、とにかく雰囲気と風が気持ち良く満足。
マイタイ飲みすぎるので、そこは注意です（笑）
またリピートしたいです！

It was a cruising experience in the evening. To my surprise, alcohol was free, and we had such a great time! My friends and their spouses were also very satisfied. Both the crew and the guests were lively, and even though I didn't understand English, it was truly enjoyable. I would love to participate again next time.

夕方からのクルージングでした。
なんと、アルコールもフリーでこんな良い時間過ごさせていただいて！！
友達夫婦とも大満足でした。
クルーも客もみんな乗り乗りで、英語がわからなくても本当に楽しかったです。
次回もまた参加したいですね。

I also rode on the Majestic, so I would be happy if you could use it for comparison. First of all, the Majestic is a large ship, like a cruise ship. Therefore, it doesn't sway. However, the distance from the sea is far, so I would definitely recommend the Majestic for elderly people.

The Makani is a large yacht. It's thrilling, and you are very close to the sea, so think of it as a home party atmosphere on a big yacht. Because it's thrilling, it sways a lot. I took my parents in their 70s, and they struggled to endure the swaying, which left them with sore legs and unable to move the next day, forcing us to take a day off at the hotel.

The food is not much different on either, but since it sways a lot, many people got seasick. (About 30% of the people were definitely seasick.)

If you want a small passenger ship that is stable and doesn't sway, go for the Majestic. If you want to enjoy the sea and the swaying with a yacht-like experience, choose the Makani.

The low rating is not due to poor content, but because there wasn't much mention of the swaying in the reviews, which led me to take my parents in their 70s without considering it, resulting in a low rating. The staff and the ship were not bad.

マジェスティック号にも乗りましたので、比較検討に使ってもらえたらうれしいです。まず、マジェスティック号は大きな船です。客船みたいな。なので、揺れません。その代わり海との距離は遠いのでご年配の方は迷わずマジェスティックをお勧めします。
マカニ号は大きなヨットです。スリリングですし、海とも非常に近く、大きなヨットの上でホームパーティみたいな雰囲気だと思ってください。スリリングな分、めちゃくちゃ揺れます。７０代の両親を連れて行ったのですが、あまりの揺れに踏ん張って耐えていたため、翌日足腰が痛くて動けなくなり、翌日一日ホテルでお休みを取ることになってしまいました。
食事の内容はどっちも大差ないですが、とにかく揺れるので、だいぶみなさん酔ってました。（３割ぐらいの方は確実に酔ってました。）
小さな客船で揺れもなく安定した感じを希望ならマジェスティック号。
海面と近くてヨットに乗る感覚で海や揺れを楽しみたい方はマカニ号です。

評価が低いのは内容が悪いのではなく、評価の中であんまり揺れに関する事が書かれていなかったので、揺れを気にせず７０代の両親を連れて行ってしまったという事での低評価です。スタッフの方も船も悪くはありません。

I was torn between the VIP dinner and the buffet dinner, but since there were cocktails available, I opted for this one.

The food was delicious, but I was concerned that the meal was taking a long time to arrive for the table next to me, which made it difficult to enjoy my own meal. By the time the coffee was served, the main course finally arrived, and even though it was about the people next to me, I felt relieved. I think there are many tables, and perhaps the staff didn't notice, but when waiting too long, it's better to check in early.

During the meal, guests from the general seating area entered from the back, above the VIP seats. I was a bit uncomfortable being watched by a large number of people while eating from above. (They might not have been looking, but it was a little unsettling.) I think it would be nice if there were some dividers like shades until the meal is finished. Alternatively, starting the VIP meal earlier could help...

Also, since the seats below the stage are VIP seats, it feels like you're looking up at the show. I found it hard to see certain highlights, like Michael Jackson's feet, because they were blocked by amplifiers and speakers, making it seem easier for those in general seating to see from above.

The food was tasty, and the show itself was enjoyable, but I had concerns about other aspects, so I would rate it three stars.

VIPディナーとブユッフェのディナーと悩みましたが、カクテルもあるし、、、とこちらに申し込みました。

食事は美味しかったですが、お隣の席になかなか食事が運ばれず気になって、食べにくかったです。
最後のコーヒーが出てくるころにやっとメインがきてお隣のこととはいえ、やれやれと安心しました。
多くのテーブルがあり、スタッフが気付かなかったのかなと思いますが、
あまり待たされるときは、早めに確認したほうが良いと思います。

食事の途中で、一般の席の方々がVIP席より後方の上部に入ってきます。
大勢の人たちに、上から食べているのを見られているのが私は気になりました。（見ていないかもしれませんが、ちょっと落ち着きません。）
食事が終わるまで、シェード等で区切ってもらえるといいなと思います。
もしくは、VIPの食事開始を早めるとか。。。

また、ステージから下がった席がVIP席なので、ショーも見上げる感じです。
マイケルジャクソンの足元等、見どころがアンプやスピーカーに遮られて
見えずらかったので、一般席の方が上からで見やすいように思います。

食事もおいしく、ショーそのものも楽しかったですが、そのほかの点が気になりましたので、☆☆☆です。

I was guided in a polite, fun, and smiling manner. I walked quite a bit inside the center, but it was enjoyable and not burdensome at all. The shows were in English, but Atsushi provided simultaneous interpretation in Japanese, which helped me understand the content well. I was impressed to learn about the greeting with two fingers raised in aloha.

Thank you for the guidance, Atsushi!!

The canoe experience was enjoyable for both adults and children. The night show was enjoyable even from the back seats. I did feel a bit sleepy during the night show. It got chilly at night, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeve shirt.

The half-day tour of Oahu included places I had been to before, but coincidentally, I had the same guide as before. At Haleiwa, I was able to eat Matsumoto Shave Ice immediately without any wait. (With azuki... it was delicious!) Since it's a popular spot now, I wished we had a bit more time there.

丁寧に楽しく笑顔でガイドをしてもらいました。
センター内をかなり歩きましたが、楽しく苦になりませんでした。
ショーなどは英語ですが、あつし君が日本語で同時通訳してくれて、
内容が良く理解できました。
アロハの2本指を立てての挨拶の始まりなど、そうなんだーと納得でした。
あつし君　案内ありがとう！！

カヌーも体験でき大人から子供まで楽しめる内容でした。
ナイトショーは、後方席でしたが十分楽しめました。
ナイトショーは途中ちょっと眠くなりました。
夜は冷えましたので、長そで持参してよかったです。

オアフ島の半日観光は、一度行ったことのある場所ばかりでしたが、偶然、以前と同じガイドさんでした。ハレイワではマツモトシェーブアイスを待ち時間なくすぐに食べられました。（あずき入り・・・・おいしかった♪）
今、人気の場所なのでもう少し時間があればなあと思いました。

I signed up with a light-hearted feeling, hoping that the meal would be a bit more enjoyable, and from the moment I arrived, it started with a warm welcome from the dancers, followed by the buffet time. The roast beef wasn't very good, but the other dishes were delicious in terms of flavor and everything else. After that, we moved to the show area and waited for it to start, but once it began, it was over in no time. The energy of the dancers running non-stop, along with the singers, made it a truly American show. I want to go again.

食事が少し楽しくなればいいなぐらいの軽い気持ちで、申し込んだのですが、着いた時からダンサーの歓迎から始まりブッフェタイムが始まりました。
ローストビーフはあまりよくありませんでしたが、その他のご飯は味付けからなにまでとても美味しくいただけました。
そのあとはショーのエリアに移動して、スタートを待ちましたが、始まってからはあっという間でした。
ノンストップで走り続けるダンサーの迫力から、シンガーまでアメリカらしいショーでした。
また行きたいです。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.

スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

You will be guided to your meal right after gathering. Fresh pineapple and Mai Tai are served, and for a while, you can enjoy hula songs and dances. You go to the buffet in order at the table, but honestly, including the whole roasted pig, it wasn't very tasty. However, I think the hospitality service was very good.

After that, you enter the facility, and the show from there was more entertaining than I expected. The wonderful singing ability and high level of performance kept me completely satisfied until the end without getting bored.

集合してからすぐに食事へ案内されます。
生のパイナップルとマイタイが出てしばらくはフラの歌と踊りを楽しめます。テーブルの順番にブュッフェを取りに行くのですが、豚の丸焼きを含めこれは正直、あまり美味しくありませんでした。でも、おもてなしのサービスはとても良いと思います。
そのあと、施設に入るのですが、そこからのショーは期待していたより面白かったです。歌唱力の素晴らしさとパフォーマンスの高さでまったく飽きることなく最後まで満足しました。

Due to a sudden change in the hull inspection, we used this option. Since it was our wedding anniversary, I was worried about how it would turn out, but this was also very lovely. The view was great as well.

船体検査で急遽変更し、こちらを利用させていただきました。結婚記念日でしたのでどうなることかと思いましたが、こちらもとても素敵でした。景色もよく見えました。

Loved the cruise.Loved the entertaintment.The food was very good.Love the beautiful sunset.

Our evening started with a Buffet Dinner that has a very good selection of meat- that includes chicken, pork, beef & catch of the day, veggies, salad, fruits, dessert & drinks. It was a satisfying dinner with fun entertainment from the greeters who also danced before the guests. The staff are so attentive to our needs.
They gave everyone enough time to enjoy the meal before heading indoor to the theater where the show is at. The seating & capacity is a good enough size for everyone to see the entire show without being left out. Plus, the performers engage the audience in their performance which impressed me and my husband a lot & made the whole show extremely fun!
The choice of music, the performers talent (singers & dancers), colorful costumes & all the cast are awesome. Truly a night to remember! We especially enjoyed the Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson impersonators & the Fire dance are the highlight of our evening.
Everyone is just so friendly. We ended the night with good pictures taken with the casts for the meet & greet. Great job to you all & keep it up! We will do it again for sure when we go back.

Absolutely amazing! First time Hawaii visitor and this sunset dinner sail was by far my favorite activity. The crew members on the ship were very friendly, food was great, and the killer sunset was to die for. Highly impressed! If you like good food, music, and nice people, book this sunset dinner sail! Overall experience is a 10/10.

This was a really fun outing and I highly recommend. You get a good few hours on a spacious catamaran. The staff were all friendly, helpful and funny. Food was delicious and buffet style with vegetarian options which was a plus. Included in the price is pick up and drop off which helped us immensely.

The views did not disappoint

Similar shows can be seen in the city, but I feel that this show is the most impressive. It takes about an hour to get there by bus, but the guide's explanations were thorough, and I was very satisfied. The buffet was also delicious and plentiful, it was the best!

似たようなショーは市街地でも見られるようですが
こちらのショーが最も圧巻されるように感じます。
現地まではバスで1時間ほどかかりますが
ガイドさんの説明も充実しており大変満足できました。
ビュッフェも美味しく充実していて最高でした！

It might be due to the weather, but both my husband and I felt really exhausted from the strong swaying and the cold, leading to seasickness. Until now, I had only been on larger boats (like the sightseeing boat in Hakone and the ferry to Green Island in Cairns), and I had never experienced seasickness before. It seemed like another group of Japanese people were also feeling unwell. The foreign guests, on the other hand, all appeared to be quite relaxed. I wonder if they are used to it... The two crew members were kind, and a foreign couple nearby even suggested, "Taking deep breaths or looking at the distant scenery can help," which was very nice of them. It was cloudy, so we were also disappointed that we could hardly see the sunset. It seems like it would be better to decide on participation based on the weather (though that’s difficult...).

天気のせいもあるのでしょうがないのですが、揺れが大きかったのと寒いのとで、私も夫も船酔いでグッタリしてしまいました。。
今まではもっと大きな船にしか乗ったことないですが(箱根の遊覧船、ケアンズでグリーン島へ行くフェリーなど)、船酔いにはなったことなかったのですが。。
もう1組の日本人の方もダウンしているようでした。
外国人の方々は皆さん余裕な感じでした。慣れているのかな…？
クルーのお2人は優しかったし、近くにいた外国人夫婦の方も「深呼吸したり遠くの景色を見たりするといいよ」と声をかけてくれて、優しかったです。
曇りだったのでサンセットもほぼ見れず残念でした。
天気によって参加を決めた方が良さそうです。(難しいですが…)

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful time on this catamaran, with some good food sitting down on nets while sailing through the Waikiki waterfront. We didn't even go on Friday which includes the fireworks and still think it was more than worth it. Will definitely do it again if I am back in Hawaii in the future.

I was recommended the all-day plan by the travel agency and decided to participate. To be honest, I was disappointed. It might be a matter of luck, but the bus guide was very loud and talked non-stop. About 80% of her content was pushing us to buy at the wholesale stores for gold and peridot that we stopped at under the guise of restroom breaks. By the way, the breaks at these stores were the longest until we arrived at our destination.

The items often had designs that would look tacky on someone in their early 40s in Japan (though I think they would suit those in their 50s and above).

I hope this helps those who plan to participate in the future. There was a lot of exaggeration in her stories, and as someone who works in the jewelry industry, I found it very unpleasant. She claimed that necklaces combining 18k gold, pink gold, and white gold do not exist in Japan, but they do. While I believe the gold accessories sold on the streets of Hawaii are plated and can tarnish, it is true that white gold, even if it's 18k, can tarnish due to platinum plating (the base metal color can show through), yet she made it sound like tarnishing was impossible, which is quite the opposite of what is acceptable in Japan.

Since my mood was already lowered before arriving at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I recommend participating only in the afternoon.

終日プランを旅行会社の人にも勧められ参加しました。
はっきり言ってガッカリです。
当たり外れの問題かもしれませんが、バスガイドのおばちゃんがうるさい。しゃべりまくりです。
その内容の8割は途中でトイレ休憩と称して寄る地金とペリドットなどの卸のお店での購入を煽る話です。
ちなみに、このお店でさせられる休憩が現地到着するまで最も長いです。
品は40代前半でも日本でつけたらダサいデザインが多いです（でも50代前後からは似合うと思うデザイン）

今後参加される方の参考になればと思いつらつら記載しますが
話の中身に誇張が多く、ジュエリーの仕事をしている私は大変不快でした。
18金のゴールド、ピンクゴールド、ホワイトゴールドを組み合わせたネックレスは日本にはないと言いますが、存在します。
ハワイの道の道又で売られている金のアクセサリーはメッキで、変色するという話は本当だと思いますが
ホワイトゴールドは18金でもプラチナメッキをしているので変色する可能性はある（地金の色が出てくる）のにいかにも変色はないような言い方をされるのは、逆に日本ではありえません。

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに着く前にテンション下がるものでしたので
午後だけの参加をオススメします。
