It was stated that there would be staff available who could speak Japanese, but after the initial greeting, everything was in English. There were no staff members who understood Japanese.
日本語対応可能スタッフがいると記載があったが、最初の挨拶以降は全て英語。日本語がわかるスタッフはいませんでした。

The banana cake served on board was delicious! There were paper captain hats and coloring pages available for the kids, which made our time on the ship enjoyable and meaningful. Additionally, thanks to the staff's encouragement, we were all excitedly focused on the directions where we might see something, and when we finally spotted it, we all celebrated together. It was a wonderful experience.
船内で提供されるバナナケーキがおいしかったです！子ども用に紙の船長キャップや、塗り絵が用意されていて、船内での時間を有意義に過ごすことができました。また、スタッフの方の声かけで、見える可能性のある方向をわいわい注目して、見えた瞬間にみんなで喜べたことがとても良い時間でした。
It is recommended to bring your mobile phone with a strap. It can be nerve-wracking as it feels like it might fall.
携帯などは紐をつけて持ち込むことをお勧めします。落としてしまいそうでヒヤヒヤします。
Thank you very much for bringing your family aboard the Star of Honolulu. We also appreciate the wonderful review and photos that capture the joyful voices of your children. It is an honor for all of our staff to have been able to help create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii again.

The crew will kindly guide you to the directions where you might see the best views! I was very satisfied to see the spouting and jumping, and at the end, two whales crossing paths.
クルーの方が、親切に見える可能性のある方向を教えてくれます！潮吹きやジャンプ、最後には2頭のクジラが交差するところをみられて大満足です。
On days when the wind is strong, I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold prepare something to wear over their clothes.
風が強い日もあるので、寒がりな方は羽織るものをご準備されることを薦めます。

It was my first time at Diamond Head, and the guide explained the best way to get there using a Japanese pamphlet, which was very easy to understand. Although the explanation was in English, it was no problem since they explained it multiple times. They also give you mineral water on the way back (laughs).
初めてのダイアモンドヘッドでしたが、ガイドさんが車内と着いてから日本語パンフレットで
一番良い行き方を説明してくれて、分かりやすかったです。英語の説明ですが、何度も説明してくれるので問題ありません。ミネラルウオーターは帰りにくれます（笑）

After setting sail in nice weather, we waited while enjoying pineapple banana cake and coffee as we approached the point. The crew provided explanations about whales, but it was disappointing that I couldn't understand the English. Just when I was starting to give up thinking we might not see any whales today, they finally made an appearance, so I felt lucky.
お天気が良い中の出航後、パイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒーをいただきながらポイントへ近づくのを待ちます。クルーの方から鯨についての説明もありましたが、英語がせっかくのお話が分からなかったので残念。なかなかクジラが現れずに今日はダメかな？と諦めかけた頃にやっと姿を現してくれたのでラッキーでした。
When a whale was about to appear, there was an announcement saying, "It's in which direction," so it was fine even if you didn't understand English.
クジラが現れそうになると「何時の方向にいる」とアナウンスがあるので英語が分からなくても大丈夫でした。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are truly delighted that you were able to see the whales at the end of your trip. The weather was nice as well, which is great. Thank you for the photos too. We look forward to welcoming you back in Hawaii next time.

The weather was nice, and I thought I would encounter whales, but they didn't show up... However, the view of Waikiki from the sea was amazing! The staff's service was also polite and great 🎵 I hope to see them next time!

Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales, but we are very pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful weather and the views from the boat. We hope that next time you will be able to see whales jumping as well. We look forward to your next visit.

I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil in Japan recently, so I enjoyed it in Hawaii. The venue is compact, so there aren't many big tricks, but there is a sense of unity. It also has a Hawaiian vibe, making it enjoyable for everyone. The location is also easy to access around Waikiki.
最近日本でシルクドゥソレイユを見ていなかったので、ハワイで楽しみました。
会場はコンパクトなのであまり大技はありませんが一体感はあります。

I experienced this two days after the Honolulu Marathon, but unfortunately, the weather was bad with high waves, and some people got seasick before the boat even left the shore. Since five groups were boarding in order, there was quite a bit of waiting time, and ultimately, many people ended up feeling sick 💦.
I managed to be okay because I skipped breakfast and took motion sickness medication. Watching the first group go up helped me understand what to expect, so it wasn't too scary, and while going up, there was no swaying, which felt nice!
However, before descending, you are dropped close to the water's surface, so your clothes might get wet.
ホノルルマラソンの2日後に体験しましたが、あいにくの天気で波が高く、ボートが沖に出るまでに船酔いする方もいました。5組が順に上がるので待ち時間も結構あり、最終的に船酔い者続出となりました💦
私は朝食を控え、酔い止めも服用したため何とか大丈夫でしたが。
上に上がるのは一組目の方を見れば要領がわかるのでそれほど怖くなく、上がっている間は揺れもないので気持ちがいいです！
降りる前に海面スレスレまで落とされるので服が濡れる場合ありです。
Taking motion sickness medication and trying to look as far away as possible while on the boat can help prevent seasickness.

It was absolutely wonderful. The venue was very small, and you could see well from anywhere, which made it very impressive. I was very surprised by the high level of performance. It was really great.
とても素晴らしかった。会場がとても狭く、どこからでもよく見えてとても迫力がありました。レベルの高さにとても驚きました。とても良かったです。
Please note that the venue is very cold, so you will need something to wear over your clothes. Also, there are two Outrigger Hotels, so be careful not to go to the wrong one. I highly recommend it.
注意点は、会場がとても寒いので何か羽織るものが必要です。また、アウトリガーホテルは2ヶ所あり、間違えてもう1ヶ所のアウトリガーに行ってしまったのでご注意を。大変お勧めです。

My husband forgot his driver's license, so I ended up driving the buggy! It was my first time driving, so it was quite challenging, especially since there were some steep roads along the way. Because of the danger, I had an instructor ride along with me halfway through. After that, I relaxed and enjoyed the sightseeing. Driving shouldn't be taken lightly, but if you want to drive, make sure you don't forget your driver's license.
主人が運転免許証を忘れて私がバギー運転！
初めて運転なので中々大変、途中かなり急な道もあり、危険ということで半ばからインストラクターなんに同乗。

When I said I was a beginner, the crew kindly taught me. Maybe it was because I was sleep-deprived from the night before, but I started to feel unwell. The captain gave me ginger candy, and after I sucked on it, I felt better. I didn't catch any fish, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery. There was also a small child, around elementary school age, who participated and had a great time.
初心者だと言ったらクルーが丁寧に教えてくれました。前日の寝不足が響いたのか、気分が悪くなってしまいました。キャプテンがジンジャーの飴をくれました。それをなめたら、回復。釣れなかったけどいい景色を堪能しました。小学校低学年くらいの小さな子も参加していてたのしんでいました。
It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case.

I wanted to take a bus tour around the area for the first time, but I was disappointed that I didn't have enough time. Next time, I would like to set aside a full day to explore.
初めてで中を廻るバスで廻りたかったのですが時間がなくて残念でした。次はまる１日くらい時間を取って廻りたいです。
It's best to set aside at least half a day. Also, it takes about an hour and a half by bus from Waikiki, so plan accordingly.
最低半日は時間をとつたらいいですね。

This was our second family trip to Hawaii, and while we were debating what activities to do, we found this one. After checking with the kids, they seemed excited, so we decided to sign up. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our activity, but we had a great time nonetheless. My eldest son, who is not fond of heights, said it was a bit scary, but my daughter and younger son, who is in elementary school, loved it and wanted to do it again.
I thought I would feel more scared when going up, but I ascended smoothly and didn't feel scared at all. It was a great opportunity to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean direction, something I had never experienced before.
We were also lucky enough to see whales from the boat. My eldest son was right above them, so he got to see the whales from the sky.
The staff were kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience thoroughly.
2回目の家族ハワイ旅行であり、今回は何のアクティビティをしようかと悩んでいたところ、こちらを見つけました。子供達に確認をとり、楽しそうということで、申し込みをしました。当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、とても楽しむことができました。高いところが苦手な長男はちょっと怖かったと言っていましたが、長女、小学生の次男はまたやりたい。ととても気に入っていました。
私も上に上がる時にもっと怖いかと思いましたが、スムーズに上がっていき、全く怖さは感じませんでした。海の方角からのワイキキビーチや、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見る機会は今までなかったため、とても良かったです。

I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:
1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.
2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.
3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.
From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.

The driver arrived at the pickup location on time and was very kind to us, even though we are Japanese! If you're planning to climb Diamond Head, I definitely recommend going early in the morning. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise! ♪
運転手さんは時間通りに送迎場所に来てくださり、日本人の私たちにも優しく接してくださいました！

The souvenir shop at the exit is disappointing, so it's better to stay in the mountains until just before the pickup time. You'll have too much time on your hands.

I boarded alone from Halepuna Waikiki. The driver spoke only English. The other passengers were also from overseas, and I was the only Japanese person. The driver checked the list of passengers and confirmed the flight and terminal before departing, which made me feel at ease.

The shuttle service was convenient and made things easy. It was reassuring to have Japanese staff on-site.
Unfortunately, the air conditioning on the bus going there was broken, and I thought everyone might suffer from heatstroke, so that was a disappointment.
The tour wasn't as dirty as I had heard from rumors! (The weather was nice, which helped.)
I went in sweatpants, but I thought maybe it wasn't necessary to worry about that? However, it might just be luck, so I can't say for sure!
Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's not a problem even for those who are inexperienced drivers!

Anyone can climb it. However, to climb Diamond Head, prior application is required, so it might be easier to join a tour like this. If you can apply in advance by yourself, it would be cheaper to get to the trailhead by bus or Uber.
