I attended a relative's wedding in Hawaii... aloha

The day before, we had a family dinner and went to see the Rock-a-Hula show, which I had really wanted to see when coming to Hawaii. ☝️

It was the best show where I could enjoy it together with the cast, just as I expected. The staff were friendly, which added to the fun.

Next time, I will go to see it with my friends.

親戚の結婚式がありハワイへ………aloha

前日、会食を兼ね親戚皆で
ハワイに来たら是非観たかった
ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。☝️

期待通りにキャストと一緒に楽しめる最高のショーでした。
スタッフの方も気さくで愉しさが増しました。

次はお友達と一緒に観にいきます。

I attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.

I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.

2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。

新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。

So much fun, a highlight of our trip. The crew was wonderful. Highly recommend!!

This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!! Quyana - Mahalo - thank you.

This was our very 1st event when we arrived to Oahu, was so beautiful to see Waikiki from the sea. Got to see sunset and the moon too! They were all very attentive, offered us a drink as soon as we boarded. Even offered to take our pictures. =)
Relaxing and fun experience.

We had the most wonderful morning! The boat was clean and the staff was excellent. We even saw dolphins! We will definitely be taking this tour again!

The sunset is beautiful. If you want to feel the essence of Hawaii, I recommend this. The food is generally delicious, and there is a good variety. The cruise lasts about two hours, so the kids might get a little bored, but I think it's a good value for adults to enjoy at a leisurely pace.

夕陽がきれい。ハワイらしさをまず感じるなら、おススメです。料理も普通に美味しく、品揃えもあります。
クルーズ時間が2時間くらいありますので、子供が少し飽きてきますが、大人がゆっくり楽しむにはコスパ良いと思います。

My wife and I booked last minute to take this tour. The hosts were great and it was a nice way to begin an evening out. Would recommend!

The boat departed the pier just after the posted time. There’s a cash bar onboard and they have the must-haves there; Mai Tai, pina colada, among others. Buffet was open after the sail went up, about 15 minutes into the cruise. Basic stuff, chicken, rice, egg rolls, but nicely done. It’s mid November so the sunset was about 5:50, and on the one side the setting sun, the other Diamond Head and Waikiki, it really is a very nice setting for photos. The crew was friendly and took good care of us. We turned back after an hour and the last 30 minutes or so you also get the night view of Waikiki as the last light disappeared behind the horizon.
Make sure you take a Dramamine If you get sick on boats, because with all the activities in the area wakes can turn even the calmest sea into a roller coaster, and it was pretty windy that day. Also if you don’t show up on time the driver won’t wait, and you’ll just have to get a taxi or uber to the on-site check-in point.

What an experience!! Great food, entertainment and I think we got the best server!! Darian was amazing! Would do it again!

I did the Green Room package which was neat being able to go back stage to see how things work behind the scenes along with being able to sit right in front of the stage to eat and watch the show which gave you a great view being so close to the performers. I like how they always include a local artist to perform too, so you are able to see not only Michael Jackson and Elvis but someone local as well. It's also nice that everything is indoors so you don't have to worry about the weather ruining your plans.

We went as a family! The sunset was beautiful, and the drinks were delicious. We also took pictures with the cheerful captain, making it a wonderful memory. My parents, who are over 60, had a fantastic time! After the sunset, the night view was also very beautiful! However, I strongly recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you can get quite wet when boarding!

家族で行きました！
夕陽の綺麗さはもちろんのこと、お酒も美味しいし、陽気な船長とも写真を撮ったりととてもいい思い出になりました。
60過ぎた両親も、大満足の時間を過ごせました！
夕陽の後は夜景もとてもきれいでしたよー！
ただ、乗船時に結構濡れるので、濡れてもいい服で行くこと、強くおすすめします！

It was very good. My elderly parents were also fine. The staff were kind people. Seeing a pod of dolphins was a wonderful memory.

とてもよかったです。
高齢の両親でも大丈夫でしと。スタッフも優しい人達でした。
イルカの群れも見れて凄くいい記念になりました。

We were the only Japanese in our group, but even if you don't understand English, you'll manage just fine. The foreigners were mostly in light swimwear and had very little luggage. When boarding the boat, you have to climb stairs, and the water comes up to your shins. When the boat picks up speed, you might get splashed a bit. The view from the boat is amazing, and we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle!

日本人は私たちグループだけでしたが、英語がわからなくても何とかなります。外人はほぼ水着が軽装、荷物も少ない様子。船に乗る時に階段を登りますが、ひざ下までは海に浸かります。海上ではスピードが出ると水しぶきも多少かかります。船上からの眺めは素晴らしく、運良くウミガメも見られました！

The show featured performances that closely resembled those of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a two-in-one experience as we could also enjoy hula dancing. There was a great sense of unity between the performers and the audience, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Additionally, the meals were luxurious and served in generous portions that were more than enough to eat. Thank you for allowing changes to the standard menu. The welcome experience was also impressive, with hula dancing at the entrance, along with welcome drinks, snacks, and a variety of desserts. It was a very meaningful and fun time. I believe it's a show that you can watch multiple times without getting bored.

エルビスやマイケルジャクソンのショーがそっくりに演出されている上に、フラも見れるという一石二鳥のショー内容でしたが、出演者と観客との一体感もあり、
大変盛り上がって良かったです。また、食事も豪華な上、食べきれない程のボリュームもあり、食事内容も、スタンダードメニューからの変更も可能にしていただきありがとうございました。また、ウェルカム時のおもてなしの入り口でのフラダンスやウェルカムドリンクとスナックやデザートのサイドメニューも充実しており、大変有意義に、楽しく時間を過ごすことが出来て良かったです。何度見ても、飽きないショーだと思います。

Neat clean boat, great crew and captain, great drinks and great music 100% recommend!

It was a truly wonderful tour that created amazing memories. There was an American honeymoon couple, and we had a great time during meals. The setting sun was a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. However, I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant crew didn't engage with Japanese people as much compared to others. I wondered if they thought we didn't understand English or if they assumed we wouldn't tip. The tour was fantastic!

とても素晴らしい思い出になるツアーでした。
アメリカ人のハネムーンカップルもいて食事の時も盛り上がりました。
刻々と沈む太陽は一生の思い出になります。
ただ少し残念だったのは、レストランクルーが、他の国の人とくらべ日本人に対しあまりこえかけをしてくれませんでした。
英語がわからない人種と思われてるのか、はたまたチップを渡さない人種と思われたのか
少し気になりました。
ツアーは最高です！

The two staff members on the boat were kind. When I offered them some senbei, they returned the favor with snacks. They also kept pouring drinks for us one after another. The sunset was beautiful, and it was so much fun that I ended up drinking too much!

船のスタッフ二人も親切です。せんべいを差し上げたら、スナックをお返しにくれました。お酒も、次々とついでくれます。サンセットも、良く、楽しくて、飲み過ぎました笑。

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.

At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.

Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...

I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.

父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。

最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。

先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…

父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

The staff friendly and funny. The Safety of the guests was their key focus but also ensuring all onboard enjoyed the experience. My friends and I had a great time and it was a fitting last night in Hawaii.

I was able to go to the Rock-A-Hula Luau green room package. I got to go explore backstage and get a tiny glimpse of how all the action happens. I also got to take a picture with Michael Jackson before the show. The staff and crew members were very kind and made sure that everything was to my liking. I described this show as a Luau like no other because it was a Luau with a twist. All the music were the classics from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the local culture included into the dance routine and into the stage outfits. The show also featured a local girl with a beautiful voice. For those who would like to watch a Luau in cushioned chairs and indoors I would definitely recommend this Luau to you!

The atmosphere of the cruise felt like being in Hawaii, which was great! If you can speak English, I think it would be fun to communicate with various people.

Since it was Friday, we were able to see an impressive fireworks display.

クルーズの雰囲気がハワイに来た感じがしていいです！
英語が話せれば、いろんな人とコミュニケーションが取れるので、楽しいと思います。

金曜日でしたので、迫力のある花火がみれました。

I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly in the seats in front of the stage. I appreciated the smooth change to non-alcoholic options for one person who couldn't drink. After the live show, we were also guided to the nearby fireworks that take place every Friday, which added to our enjoyment.

ステージの前の席で十分楽しむことができました。
お酒が飲めない1名に対してノンアルコーへの変更もスムーズで有難かったです。ライブの後、毎週金曜日に行われている近くの花火への案内もしていただき更に楽しむことができました。

I splurged a little and made a reservation for a VIP seat by the stage. First, we took photos with the star (playing the role of Elvis Presley), then enjoyed some snacks while sipping Mai Tais at the VIP welcome reception. We entered our seats next to the stage through the VIP entrance, and started our meal from the menu in the attached photo. The show began around the time we finished eating.

We enjoyed performances by Johnny Fortuno as Elvis Presley, Corey Melton as Michael Jackson, and Siena Sousa (a singer-songwriter based in Honolulu), along with hula dancing by Rock-a-Hula dancers. The highlight was the fire knife dance, and we were thoroughly entertained in the best seats, leaving us very satisfied. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after receiving a 10% discount, I was very pleased with the experience and the content.

少し奮発して、ステージサイドVIP席で予約をしました。
最初にスター（プレスリ役）の人との写真撮影、その後VIPウェルカムレセプションでマイタイを飲みながらおつまみをいただき、VIP専用口からステージ横の席へ、添付写真のメニューの食事開始、食事が終わったころにショーが始まりました。
エルビス・プレスリー by ジョニー・フォーテューノ、マイケル・ジャクソン by コーリー・メルトン、シエナ・スーザ (ホノルルを拠点にするシンガー・ソングライター)による歌とロック・ア・フラダンサーによるフラダンス、圧巻は
ファイアーナイフダンスと盛りだくさんで飽きることなく一番良い席で大満足の鑑賞をすることができました。
最初は少し高い思っていましたが、10%割引きしてもらって、内容もよく大満足でした。

This was my second time on a catamaran, and it was still amazing. The best part is that there are not many Japanese people, so I could fully enjoy the sunset cruise in Hawaii. The crew was also quick and responsive, which made for a pleasant experience.

今回2度目のカタマランでしたが、やはり最高でした。何といっても日本人が少ないことが良いです、ハワイ、サンセットクルーズを満喫出来ます。クルーの方も機敏で対応が良く気持ち良かったです。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to see an authentic hula dance show, so I booked this VIP course. I was excited as soon as I walked on the red carpet, and the welcome drink followed by dinner at the VIP seats was delightful. The lobster, along with the main steak and salmon, was satisfying in both volume and service. It was also great to be smoothly guided through the VIP entrance.

The show started with a surprise when a man was lowered upside down right in front of us (even though I had heard about it beforehand). The hula and Polynesian dances were of outstanding quality, and I was captivated by the professional performances. The dancers were incredibly sharp! The impersonations of Elvis and Michael were very well done, and the songs were perfectly suited to our generation (in our 60s), allowing us to enjoy the show from start to finish. The fireman show, where they handled flaming torches, left me in awe—how could they hold those?! I was overwhelmed the entire time.

I also purchased a photo taken with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to come back to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

初めてのハワイ旅行で、本場のフラダンスショーを見てみたいと思い、こちらのVIPコースを予約してもらいました。まず通されるレッドカーペットに気持ちが盛り上がり、ウェルカムドリンクからの、VIP席でいただくディナー。ロブスターをはじめ、メインのステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームもサービスも満足いくものでした。VIP用入り口からスムーズに案内していただけたのもよかったです。
ショーは、まず目の前に降りてきた逆さ吊りの男性に驚き（事前に聞いていたのに）、
フラ、ポリネシアンダンスはクオリティが素晴らしく、プロのパフォーマンスに釘付けになりました。ダンサーのみなさんの身体のキレがすごい！ エルビス、マイケルのモノマネも、非常に上手く、また私たちの年代（60代）にがっちり合った曲ばかりで、最初から最後まで楽しめました。 火のついたたいまつを操るファイアーマンショーは、目の前で見ても、何故あれを持てるのか！？ 終始圧倒されました。
マイケルと一緒に撮った写真も購入して、とっても良い思い出になりました。また、ハワイに来る際には観にきたいと思います。

I thought I wouldn't be able to expect a good meal with a dinner cruise, so I chose a sailing option with free-flow drinks. Although I'm not great on boats, I didn't feel any seasickness at all. The sunset, with its blend of orange and blue turning into pink, was incredibly beautiful, and I was moved to tears by the beauty of nature.

They served alcohol, including Mai Tais and champagne, and for a quick two-hour activity before dinner, it was affordable and just right.

The cruise takes you right in front of Diamond Head from the Sheraton. You can take plenty of picturesque photos.

Overall, I was healed by the beauty of the sky that can only be appreciated from the sea.

ディナー付のクルージングだと食事が期待できないと思い、フリーフロードリンク付きのセイリングを選びました。船に弱い私ですが、船酔いは全くなく、サンセットと、オレンジと水色が混ざり合って、ピンクにもなった空がそれはそれは素晴らしく綺麗で、自然の美しさに涙が出ました。
アルコールもマイタイやシャンパンも出て、ディナー前に2時間程のクイックアクティビティとしては、お手頃でちょうど良かったです。
シェラトンからダイアモンドヘッドの目の前まで行ってくれます。
絵になる写真もたくさん撮れますよ。
とにかく海からしかわからない空の美しさに癒されました。

It was truly amazing. There were only three couples, including us, who were Japanese participants, but we had a great time. That day, there was someone celebrating a birthday, and everyone got so excited that we almost forgot about the sunset. We will definitely go again next time.

本当に最高でした。日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦を含め3組だけでしたが楽しかったです。その日、誕生日の人がいて、サンセットを忘れるくらい全員で盛り上がりました。次回も必ず行きます。

The crew is really great, the views are hard to beat, and it was an easy process to find/board the boat. Recommend this tour — we had a blast and met a lot of nice people.

What an incredible experience. The sights were gorgeous, the boat was very safe and enjoyable to be aboard. The crew were exceptionally accommodating to each and every guest. This was our first time to Waikiki Beach and the catamaran sunset cruise was without a doubt one of the most memorable times. We will retire and share this sunset cruise again.
