I was only expecting to participate in the buffet and the show in the evening, but when I checked in, there were still about an hour left before the Polynesian exhibition closes, and the ticket included it. This definitely worth much more than how much I paid!

I was very relieved to have someone who spoke Japanese on the boat. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was surprised. The water was shallow enough to my thighs, so I could play without worry. After putting on a life jacket, I swam in a spot that was about 10 meters deep. I was glad to see several sea turtles.

日本語を話せる方が船にいらっしゃったので、とても安心でした。海がとても綺麗でびっくりしました。太ももくらいの水深だったので安心して遊べました。ライフジャケットを着た後は、水深10メートルくらいの場所を泳ぎました。ウミガメを何匹もみれて良かったです。

It was a performance by superhumans who are truly well-trained, showcasing an incredible series of acts. There was a moment during the transitions between performances where audience participation was involved, and to my surprise, I was chosen to go on stage. I think my performance was a bit clumsy, but the excitement of the crowd made it a wonderful memory. I would love to go see it again!

超絶パフォーマンスの連続でさすがに鍛えられている超人たちの演技でした。
演目のつなぎでオーディエンス参加の場面がありますがまさかの私が指名され
舞台へ。拙いパフォーマンスだったと思いますが観衆の盛り上がりで良い思い出に
なりました。
また見に行きたいなぁ。

All the explanations were in English, which left my family, who are not good at English conversation, quite confused. However, once the activities started, we were able to enjoy breathtaking views that made us forget about those concerns, and it turned out to be a very fun day. Next time, we will go to try horseback riding.

すべての説明が英語で英会話が苦手な私たち家族は戸惑うことが多かったです。
したしアクティビティがスタートするとそんなことも忘れるくらいの絶景が堪能できとても楽しい一日でした。
今度は乗馬体験をチャレンジしに行きます。

This was a great introduction to snorkeling for our apprehensive teen. Nick was fun, knowledgeable, and patient. We learned about the sealife of Oahu and had so much fun, too. Highly recommend!

Thanks to Jamie, our savior who understands English, we were able to fully enjoy stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling! Especially, when he asked my 14-year-old daughter if she could swim, and she replied that she wasn't very good at it, he made sure to assign a staff member to help her. She was so happy to see a turtle! On the way back, when she felt seasick, he brought her ginger ale, and after drinking it, she felt completely better, which became a great memory as well! Thank you so much!

英語がわからないわたし達の救世主、ジェイミーさんのお陰でsupやシュノーケリングを存分に楽しめました！
特に14歳の娘に対して、泳げる？と聞いてくれ、あまり得意でないと答えるとちゃんとスタッフさんをつけてくれ、娘もカメが見えた！と大喜び。帰り船酔いした時も、ジンジャーエールがいいよ！と持ってきてくれ、それを飲んだらスッカリ良くなったようでそれもいい思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

The theater was beautiful and easy to see, and I was able to enjoy it slowly. Elvis and Michael were really funny! I was out of breath from laughing too much!

劇場も綺麗で見やすく、ゆっくり楽しめました。
エルビス、マイケル、めっちゃおもろい！
息切れしすぎ笑

On this day, I participated in the ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch. The meeting time was 10:15, and the tour started at 12:00. The meeting place was very easy to find, and when the time came, a staff member holding a sign that said "Kualoa" guided us, so there was no confusion. Among the participants, there were only two groups of Japanese, including us.

On the bus ride there, the driver introduced various sights in English, allowing us to enjoy the scenery on the way. When we arrived for lunch, we immediately separated by tour type and checked in at the desk. There was no long wait, and the tour started smoothly.

The tour explanation was all in English, but the guide occasionally took photos for us, and whenever we reacted positively, they joined in to make it a fun atmosphere. Conversely, if we remained quiet due to our typical Japanese shyness, it might have felt a bit wasted. It's definitely better to enjoy it wholeheartedly!

After the tour ended, we had about an hour until the bus meeting time, so we decided to take a leisurely lunch break. We ordered burgers as the main dish and onion rings as a side. We ate around 14:30, and even sharing between the two of us was more than enough, leaving us satisfied.

The return bus ride was also very smooth, and we arrived in Waikiki by 16:30. It was a fulfilling day where we could play in nature and enjoy a delicious lunch.

この日はクアロアランチのバギーツアーに参加しました。集合時間は10:15で、ツアー開始は12:00。集合場所はとてもわかりやすく、時間になると「Kualoa」と書かれた看板を持ったスタッフの方が案内してくれたので迷うこともありませんでした。参加者の中で日本人は、私たちを含めて2グループだけでした。

行きのバスでは、運転手さんが英語でいろいろな見どころを紹介してくれて、景色を楽しみながら向かうことができました。ランチに到着すると、すぐにツアーの種類ごとに分かれてデスクで受付を行います。特に長く待つこともなく、スムーズにツアーがスタートしました。

ツアーの説明はすべて英語ですが、ガイドさんが時々写真を撮ってくれたり、こちらが少しでもノリよくリアクションをすると一緒に盛り上げてくれたりと、とても楽しい雰囲気でした。逆に、日本人特有のシャイな態度で静かにしていると、少しもったいないかもしれません。思い切って楽しんだ方が絶対に良いです！

ツアー終了後は、バスの集合時間まで約1時間あったので、のんびりランチタイムを取ることにしました。バーガーをメインに、サイドメニューはオニオンリングを注文。14:30頃に食べたのですが、2人でシェアしても十分な量で満足できました。

帰りのバスもとてもスムーズで、16:30にはワイキキに到着。大自然の中で思いきり遊べて、美味しいランチも楽しめた、大満足の1日になりました。

Although the time was short, the speed was quite exhilarating, and the children were pretty scared when we went over the waves, so I think three rounds of surfing was just right.

It was unfortunate that I couldn't take photos with my smartphone during the boarding process because there was paddling involved. Later, I received an email about purchasing photos and videos, but they were all similar pictures where you couldn't see faces, and they were expensive! I was also disappointed that I couldn't purchase just the videos.

時間は短かったですが、スピードがかなり出るのと波を越えて行く時に、子どもたちはかなり怖がったので、計3回の波乗りでちょうど良かったのかなと思います。
乗船時、漕ぐ作業があるので、スマホ撮影できなかったのが残念でした。
あとからメールに、写真・動画の購入のお知らせがきたのですが、同じような写真で顔もわからない写真ばかりでしかも高い！動画のみの購入ができず残念でした。

This is a very enjoyable performance that expresses the history of the gradual transition from the era of indigenous people to modern society, incorporating circus elements. The circus acts range from thrilling to heartwarming and even enchanting, showcasing a variety of genres, making it a lot of fun. I was even invited on stage to participate in the show, which was a wonderful experience and very enjoyable. After the show, another audience member said to me, "Nice Japan!!" If you're an adult, the front row seats can be a bit pricey, but I highly recommend them. You can see the performers' expressions up close, enhancing your enjoyment of the show. For those with children, sitting a bit further back is advisable, as the view of the circus itself may be obstructed from the front.

原住民が活躍していた時代から、徐々に現代社会になっていく歴史を表現しながらサーカスを交えていくとても楽しい舞台です。サーカスの技もヒヤヒヤするものからほっこりするもの、妖艶なものと様々なジャンルが繰り広げられ、とても楽しいです。私は、舞台にも上げていただきショーに参加させていただきました。とても良い経験になりましたし、とても楽しかったです。ショーの後には別の観客の方から「Nice Japan!!」と声をかけていただきました。大人だけの参加であればちょっとお高いですけど最前列（フロントローシート）おすすめです。出演者の表情まで見えてより舞台が楽しめます。子どもがいる方は、近すぎてサーカス自体が見えにくい可能性がありますので少し後ろの席がおすすめです。

The opening is at 17:15 and it's first come, first served, but the actual opening is at 17:30, and you will be guided to your seats while taking photos, which makes it extremely late. Additionally, you will be split into two groups for seating, so just lining up early doesn’t guarantee good seats. The meal is a typical buffet style, but if you don’t grab everything in one round, they start clearing it away quickly. It’s tough, but I recommend taking two plates to get your food. Just when I thought the show was getting exciting, it ended nearly an hour earlier than expected. (It was supposed to end around 20:15, but it actually ended at 19:20.) It was so bad that I requested a refund, but I was told it was not eligible. The staff at Veltra were very sincere in their response, but the event itself was the worst.
The following note seems to be the basis for this:
By the way, the weather on the day was clear, and there were no traffic jams, yet we experienced the issues mentioned above. I strongly recommend going to see a different show.

開場が17:15かつ早いもの順と言っていますが、17:30に開場、写真を撮りながら席へ案内されるためめちゃくちゃ遅くなります。また、途中から二手に分かれて座席へ案内されるようになるため早く並んでいたから良い席になるわけではありません。食事は良くあるビュッフェスタイルですが、1周で取りきらないとあっという間に片付けが始まります。大変ですけどお皿を2枚もって料理を取ることをお勧めします。ショーが始まって盛り上がってきたと思ったら想定よりも1時間近く早く終了しました。（20:15ごろ終了とのことでしたが、実際は19:20でした）あまりにひどいので返金対応を求めましたが、対象外との返事でした。
ベルトラの方には誠心誠意対応していただきましたが、催事自体は最悪です。

It was a truly wonderful performance unique to Hawaii. I was captivated by the circus skills, traditional Hawaiian arts, and the engaging elements of the clowns that involved the audience.

ハワイならではの演目で、とても素晴らしかったです。サーカスの技、ハワイ伝統芸能、観客を巻き込むピエロの要素、全てに引き込まれました。

I went on the UTV Raptor Tour. Since the self-drive option was fully booked, I reserved the guided tour where the guide drives. The entire tour was in English, but it was fun because they spoke a little Japanese as well.

UTVラプターツアーに乗りました。
自走は予約がいっぱいで、ガイドが運転してくれるものを予約しました。
ツアーはすべて英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語を話してくれたので楽しかったです。

Before it started, I was really scared, but once I took off, it was truly fun! It felt like riding a trapeze, which was awesome. However, the boat was really rocky, so I definitely think motion sickness medication is necessary! Also, I was worried about whether I could take an Uber if I got wet on the way back, but there was only a long wait for a pickup, so I ended up walking back to Waikiki. However, since I was always looking at the beach, it felt like it went by in no time. It took about 30 minutes to get to the Hyatt.

始まる前は、すごく怖かったが飛んでしまえは、本当に楽しかったです！
空中ブランコに乗ってるみたいでサイコー
ただ船の揺れがすごいので酔い止めほんとに必要だと思いました！
あと帰りが濡れたらウーバーに乗れるか不安だったのですが、時間のかかるお迎えしかなくて結局歩いてワイキキまで戻りましたが、ずっとビーチを横目に見ながらなので、なんだかあっという間でした。時間的にはハイアットまで30分くらきかかりましたが

I also caught a glimpse of a sea turtle! The guide was very enthusiastic and spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. I want to go again!

ウミガメもチラッと見えました！
ガイドさんはテンション高くて日本語も話せるので安心です。また行きたいです

Our guide was brilliant. We did the ride along and by far it was far more immersive and engaging then had we driven our selves. Our guide was so energetic and only too happy to share cultural insights. Both guides clearly loved their job and it showed through their enthusiasm and passion for what they did. Well worth it!

It was a smaller venue than I imagined, but I had a great time. The elaborate staging with large equipment was wonderful, but the simple act of climbing the pillar impressed me the most.

想像より小規模な会場でしたが、楽しめました。大掛かりな装置を使った演出も素敵でしたが、円柱に登る、というシンプルな演目が一番感激しました。

I enjoyed Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, Tokyo, and Hawaii. The unique performances in Hawaii were thrilling and exciting ⭐️ It was an incredible hour and a half. A few audience members even joined the stage, making it a wonderful Hawaiian experience.

ベガス、東京、ハワイでシルクドソレイユを楽しみました。
ハワイならではの演出、ハラハラドキドキ⭐️あっという間の1時間半。会場からも数名ステージに登り、とても素敵なハワイ時間になりました。

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles!

The support from the Japanese staff was excellent, and I felt comfortable even though it was my first time snorkeling.

イルカとウミガメ両方見れました！

日本人スタッフのサポートも手厚く、初めてのシュノーケルでも大丈夫でした。

It was very good. I think there were many Western audience members. Perhaps because of that, the audience was lively, and the overall atmosphere was very American. They reacted to each performance, cheering and expressing their joy, which made it enjoyable for us as well. It was a vibe that you don't often find in Japan, but experiencing that atmosphere made the trip to Hawaii worthwhile.

The show obviously featured dynamic acrobatics as the main attraction, but there were also interludes of skits that created a storyline. It wasn't a complicated story, but it was enjoyable just to watch. The costumes and dances conveyed Hawaiian culture well, making it a show unique to Hawaii.

Due to the weak yen, the ticket prices were quite high, but it became a wonderful memory.

とても良かったです。観客は欧米の方が多かったと思います。そのせいか観客のノリが良く、全体的にアメリカンな雰囲気に包まれていました。一つ一つに反応して声を上げて喜ぶので、こちらもつられて楽しくなってきます。なかなか日本には無いノリでしたが、そのような雰囲気も味わえたのはわざわざハワイに来て行った甲斐があったと思います。

ショーは当然ダイナミックなアクロバットがメインですが、合間に子芝居が挟まれていてストーリー仕立てになっています。複雑なストーリーではなく見るだけで楽しめるものになっていました。衣装、ダンスなどもちゃんとハワイの文化を伝えるものになっていて、ハワイならではのショーに仕立てられていると思います。

円安のせいもありチケット代はかなり高かったですが、良い思い出になりました。

I was able to get to the hotel very smoothly! I would like to request it again~ It was great that there was no waiting time!

とてもスムーズにホテルまで行く事ができました！また、お願いしたいですょ〜
待ち時間もなくよかったです！

I used the shuttle service from my hotel in Hawaii. Although the arrival time was a bit delayed, they handled my luggage with care, and the service was very good.

ハワイの滞在先のホテルから送迎で利用しました。少し到着時間は遅れてましたが、丁寧に荷物も運んでもらって、とても対応はよかったです。

Everything was wonderful, and the 80 minutes flew by. The audience in the venue was lively, creating an American atmosphere. I would love to see another performance as well.

全て素晴らしく、あっという間の80分間でした。会場の観客も盛り上がりアメリカらしい雰囲気でした。また、違う演目でも観たいと思いました。

I was disappointed that the expected low tide sandbar did not appear as anticipated. Personally, I felt that the time to the port and the boat ride was long, and I also had too much free time with the various activities.

期待した干潮のサンドバーが期待通りに現れなかったので残念でした。個人的には港迄と船の時間が長く感じられ、また各種アクティビティも時間を持て余し状態でした。

You will be watching the fireworks in the same area as those who are not participating in the luau. Additionally, people who are not participating can also view the show from outside. The dining time is short, and I couldn't even finish three drinks. Even though there were still tickets available, they abruptly closed the event. At this price, I think it would be much better to go to another restaurant.

花火はルアウに参加していない人と同じエリアで見ることになります。
また、ショーも参加してない人も外から見れます。
食事の時間も短く、ドリンク3杯も使いきれません。まだチケットが余ってるのにもう終了と無理矢理締め切られました。
この金額であれば他のレストランに行った方がよっぽど良いと思います。

The story was wonderful, and the attractions during the intermission were fantastic. Everything was amazing. I'm glad I got to see Cirque du Soleil in Hawaii.

ストーリーも素晴らしく迫力のあるステージで中休みのアトラクションも最高でした
言葉ではない
全てのだしものが最高でした
シルクドソレイユをハワイで見て良かったです

Phenomenal experience with horses, the ocean and a great group of nice people.

I usually rely on HIS for Japanese support, but this time the timing didn't work out, so I sought assistance here. It was stated that only English support was available, but my limited English conversation skills were sufficient. I think I will seek assistance again if the opportunity arises.

いつもはHISで日本語対応でお世話になっていたのですが…今回は時間が合わず，こちらにお世話になりました
英語のみ対応と書かれていたのですが、私の拙い英会話でも大丈夫でした
また機会があればお世話になると思います

I thoroughly enjoyed the ocean in Hawaii. Activities like banana boating were also fun. It was a luxurious experience condensed into three hours of extraordinary moments.

とにかくハワイの海を満喫しました。
バナナボートなどのアクティビティも楽しかったです。
非日常の体験を3時間に凝縮した贅沢な時間でした。

It was great and fun! The water was beautiful and blue.
