All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

The venue is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, conveniently situated in the heart of Honolulu. Upon checking in, I was greeted with a lei service. First, there was a meal time, which included a Mai Tai cocktail and one drink of your choice. The meal was served buffet-style in order after being guided to our seats. During the meal, there was hula dancing, but I could only see the dancers from behind. I wanted to have dessert, but before I knew it, a ukulele performance started nearby (though it wasn't very good), and there was a request for a $10 tip. It was unfortunate that the meal time ended so hurriedly.

However, after moving to the second half of the showtime venue, the VIP treatment made me feel fantastic! I had a central seat right in front of the stage. The beautiful dancers performed hula, and the host and singer resembled Rumiko Koyanagi. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were so convincing that it felt like I was watching the real stars. I had a great time right in front of the stage. After leaving the venue, I even took photos with Michael and Elvis, creating wonderful memories.

The collaboration of rock and hula dancing was the best! This is a show I highly recommend if you come to Hawaii!

会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあり、ホノルル街の中央で便利な場所。受付をすると早速、レイのサービス。最初に食事の時間があり、マイタイカクテル＆好きなドリンク1杯がついていました。食事は案内されてから順番にバイキング形式。食事中はフラダンスをしていたが席からは後ろ姿しか見えなかった。デザートも食べたかったが、いつのまにか脇でウクレレ演奏が始まり(余り上手ではなかったのに）チップ10💲の催促。最後は食時間があわただしく終わってしまったのが残念。
が、食事タイム移動後、後半のショータイム会場のVIP 対応に気分は最高！ステージ目の前中央の席。美しいダンサー達のフラダンスや小柳ルミ子似の司会＆歌手。エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンもまるで本人達のショーかと思うほど演技と迫力。また目の前でとても楽しませてもらいました。会場を出てからマイケルやエルビスと写真も撮ったりと思い出になりました。
ロックとフラダンスのコラボレーション。最高でした！ハワイに来たらお勧めのショーです♪

The shuttle service had foreign staff, and everyone else on board besides us was also foreign. Therefore, the guide spoke entirely in English, and we were just along for the ride. Water is provided both on the way there and back. Since it was hot, light clothing seemed appropriate... but it depends on the weather.

送迎の方が外国の方で同乗された方はわたしたち以外は全て外国の方でした。
なのでガイドも全て英語でわたしたちはただ乗ってるだけでした。
お水は行きと帰りにもらえます。
暑かったので軽装で良いかと…
天候にもよりますが…

What a great experience and wonderful adventure. My grandson who has autism was on FaceTime when we stopped and was so happy to get to experience some of this trip.

Sunset sailing was my first experience, but thanks to the lively and very friendly crew, I had a wonderful time. The person at the front can get splashed with water due to the waves, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

サンセットセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、ノリがよくとても親切なクルーの方のお陰で素晴らしい時間が過ごせました。
先頭の人は水しぶきがかかるくらい揺れたりするので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めの服用をお勧めします。

Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri were a bucket list trip.
Great historical information

They have different level and am the total beginner.

Can park at zoo entrance - walking distance if have a car.

The instructor is very patient and it's family friendly.

My first booking was cancelled at very last minute. The captain only told me when I got to the pier - 2hours round trips was wasted for nothing without early notice.

I booked second one which was rescheduled twice, eventually it made through and my daughter loves it.

The water is bit cold in the first place but bearable and we stayed in water for 40mins or longer as we were the last group.

On the way back, we saw the whales - what a bonus!!

They took us quite far out, and we were able to see whales. It was a wonderful experience. I've also been on a sunset cruise, but the morning cruise was better.

かなり沖まで行ってくれて、クジラを見ることが出来ました
素晴らしい体験でした
サンセットで乗船したこともありますが、午前のクルーズの方が、良かったです

It was a slightly chilly time (February) at the sandbar where I was waist-deep in water, but during about 30 minutes of snorkeling, I encountered 8 to 9 sea turtles. They were right in front of me! It was amazing.

腰まで浸かるサンドバーで少し肌寒い時期(2月)でしたが、30分くらいのシュノーケリングで海カメ8〜9匹に遭遇。ホント目の前に！最高でした。

Due to the high waves that started midway, there was no snack distribution. I had planned to go get a drink when the snacks were handed out, so I couldn't go. When I stopped by the bar counter upon disembarking, there were no staff present, and there were only a few snacks in a basket that people who noticed helped themselves to. The drinks were just a display of cans... If the distribution was canceled due to the high waves, I would have appreciated it if someone had been at the bar counter during disembarkation to hand them out. In the end, I wasn't able to receive the limited-time drink benefit. I noticed that some people didn't tip at all, so I wondered if that might have affected the service. Although I didn't see any whales, I had a great time seeing a lot of dolphins, which made the lack of service feel like a missed opportunity.

途中から波が高くなったせいかスナックの配布がなかった。スナック配布されたらドリンクを取りに行くつもりにしていたので行けず。下船時にバーカウンターに寄りましたが、スタッフ不在、スナックが少しだけカゴに入って置いていたので気づいた人が自ら取っていました。
ドリンクは缶の見本が並べてあっただけ…。高波で配布を見送ったのなら、下船時にバーカウンターにいて頂いて、お渡しして欲しかったです。結局期間限定特典のドリンクは受け取れずじまいでした。
チップを全く入れてない人もいたので、こういうことも影響しているのではないかと思いました。
クジラは見れませんでしたがイルカがたくさん見れて楽しかっただけに、サービスがもったいなく感じました。

I had a seat quite far forward in the Golden Circle, and it was much closer to the stage than I had imagined, which was fantastic. Because I was so close to the stage, I was able to focus on the show, and there were many entertaining performances that made me laugh out loud several times. Additionally, in the relaxed atmosphere unique to Hawaii, I felt a sense of unity in the venue. It truly became a wonderful experience! Thank you very much!

ゴールデンサークルシートの結構前の方の席だったのですが、想像していたより舞台と近くて、すごく良かったです。
舞台との距離が近かった分、集中してショーを観ることができましたし、お客様を楽しませる演出などもたくさん盛り込まれていて、声をあげて笑ってしまったシーンがいくつもありました。
また、ハワイならではのリラックスした雰囲気の中で、会場の一体感を感じました。
本当に素敵な経験になりました！ありがとうございました！

If you speak Japanese well, you can call for assistance at any time upon arrival. I was reassured to hear that even during the activities, the staff would respond in Japanese if requested.

The instructor who arrived was able to incorporate some basic Japanese, which made the experience enjoyable.

The scenery was amazing! At one point where we could see the ocean, we were lucky enough to spot whale spray! Although we didn't see the whale itself, it's not something you encounter often. It was a lucky moment!

I had a great time. The horses were very well-behaved, and I had no worries at all.

　日本語バッチリの方が、到着時に何かあったらいつでも呼んでください。とあり、アクティビティ途中でも、係の方に頼めば直ぐに日本語での対応してくれると言うことでしたので、まず安心できました。
　着いてくれたインストラクターの方も片言の日本語を盛り込みながら楽しむことが出来ました。
景色は最高！途中で海が見えるところでは、運良くクジラのしぶきを確認！クジラは見えなかったけれど、そんなにあることじゃないよ。ラッキーです！と
とても楽しめました。馬もとてもお利口さんで全く心配ありませんでした。

It was a perfect skydiving experience on a clear day. This time, I requested the photo and video option, so I was able to share the excitement with my family, making it the best activity.

快晴で最高のスカイダイビングでした。
今回、写真ビデオのオプションをお願いしましたので、家族とも臨場感を共有できて最高のアクティビティでした。

The pick-up, reception, explanation, and execution were all smooth and helpful! There are also people who speak Japanese, so Japanese visitors can feel at ease! The divers were friendly, and I was very satisfied!

送迎から受付から説明から実施までスムーズで助かりました！日本語を話せる方もいるので日本人も安心！ダイバーさんも気さくで大満足！

This is my first visit since elementary school. After learning about the nostalgia and history, the tour is a completely different experience. You can also visit the surrender deck, and although the signing documents are replicas, you can see them. This is the only place where you can meet heroes who participated in the Gulf War. Don't worry about your wife or girlfriend's expressions; just keep moving forward. Make sure to make a reservation.

小学生以来の訪問。懐かしさと歴史を一通り学んだ後の、見学では一味も二味も違う。
サレンダーデッキも見学でき、調印文章も複製ではあるが、みることができる。湾岸戦争まで参加している英雄に会うことができるのはここしかない。奥さんや彼女の顔色を伺ってはいけない、ひたすら前進あるのみ。予約するべし

There were about 50 people in the audience for the second stage we attended. Many were couples and families with small children, and there were six of us from Japan in our group. Basically, the show proceeded in English until the explanation before the performance, but during the magic acts, explanations were also provided in Japanese, so even with our middle school-level English vocabulary, we were able to enjoy it thoroughly.

The magician, Shoot (Japanese), said that as a child, he admired Captain Tsubasa and practiced soccer by the river, but before he knew it, he was looking for stones to practice magic.

The show was wonderful and has become one of our cherished memories of Hawaii!

私たちが参加したセカンドステージの観客は50人くらい。カップルや小さなお子さんを連れた家族連れが多く、日本人は私達のグループの6名でした。基本的にショーの前説明までは英語で進みますが、マジック中は日本語で説明も付け加えてもらえるので、中学生レベルの英単語力しか無い私達でも十分に楽しめました。

マジシャンのシュートさん(日本人)は、子供の頃はキャプテン翼に憧れて河原でサッカーの練習していたけど、気づけばマジックの練習に使う石ころを探していたそうです。

ショーも素晴らしく、ハワイの思い出の一つに残りました！

The staff members are very cheerful, and you can tell they are trying to entertain us. They understand Japanese to some extent, so I don't think there will be any issues. It can be a bit chilly during the rainy season, so a jacket is essential.

スタッフの方達がとても陽気で、こちらを楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わる。
日本語もある程度伝わるので、困る事もないと思います。
雨季だと少し寒いので、上着は必須です。

You can see wonderful scenery. There are several stops where the guide provides explanations, but everything is in English, so those who do not speak English may not understand the content at all. Since there is a lot of dust, it's recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

素晴らしい景色を見れます。
いくつかのポイントで停車して、ガイドの方が説明をしてくれますが、全て英語なので英語が出来ない方は説明の内容が一切わからないと思います。
砂埃がすごいので、汚れても良い服装がオススメです。

The weather that day was a surprising storm even for the locals, with the narrow streets of Waikiki flowing like rivers and fallen branches scattered about. At the Royal Hawaiian Center, escalators were stopping everywhere, and people were lining up for the elevators. There was even leaking rain inside the elevator, and we were worried about whether the buffet and show would take place, but as the time approached, the rain and wind calmed down, and the event was held. We were greeted with fresh flower leis and guided to a table waiting with pineapples, where we were asked if we wanted alcohol in our first drink, the Mai Tai. Since we would receive another drink later, we took a look at the menu. My husband and I chose the slightly sweet "Chichi" (white) with coconut and the "Polynesian Punch" (red) with multiple fruits like pineapple and orange, both with alcohol. Every dish was delicious, and the whole roasted pig was carved into cubes right in front of us; the skin was tasty, and we had some extra. The roast beef was very delicious with a rare texture. The show progressed with local singer Presley (impersonation), Michael (impersonation), and a Polynesian show, and even though we didn't understand the English, we had a great time. We weren't sure when to move to the show venue since we didn't understand English, so we looked around and moved. Although we moved around separately, the seating areas were determined by the plan, and within those areas, it was open seating, so if you want a better seat, I recommend moving early. After the show, we took photos with Michael and the performers and happily headed home.

この日の天候が、ロコも驚くような大嵐で、ワイキキの細い道は川のように水が流れ、折れた枝が道に落ちているような中、ロイヤル・ハワイアンセンターではエスカレーターがあちこちでストップし、エレベーターに人が並んでました。そのエレベーター内も雨漏りしておりビュッフェ＆ショーが開催されるか心配でしたが、時間が近づくと雨風が弱まり開催されました。生花のレイを首にかけていただき、パイナップルが待つテーブルに案内され、最初のドリンク「マイタイ」のアルコールありか無しかを聞かれます。後でもう１杯ドリンクがもらえるのでメニューをいただき、私たち夫婦は、ココナッツが少し甘い「チチ」（白）とパイナップルやオレンジなど、複数のフルーツが入った「ポリネシアンパンチ」（赤）を、アルコール入りでいただきました。食事はどれも美味しく、子豚の丸焼きは目の前でサイコロ状にさばき、皮が美味しく、追加でいただきました。ローストビーフは生な感じがとても美味しかったです。ショーはロコシンガー・プレスリー（ものまね）・マイケル（ものまね）・ポリネシアンショーとテンポよく進み、私たち夫婦は、英語は理解できませんが楽しかったです。ショーの会場に移るタイミングは、英語のわからない私たちにはわからないので、周りを見て移動しました。バラバラと移動しますが、プランによって会場内のエリアが決まっており、その中では自由席なので、より良い席に座りたい場合は、早めの移動をお勧めします。終了後、マイケルとショーの出演者たちと写真を撮っていただき楽しく帰りました。

This venue Is jam packed with things to do and see! Each village area representing an island of Polynesian was so informative and filled with fun activities. The students that perform are absolutely wonderful.
We were so impressed by the grand buffet, so much incredibly wonderful food.
The HA Breath of life performance was amazing! The driver of our bus that we went on told us that this show was one of the most authentic depictions of Polynesian culture on the whole island! I concur 100%

I often participated in sunset cruises, but this was my first time joining a cruise while watching fireworks! The departure after dark created a wonderful atmosphere, and the fireworks were beautifully visible, making it a truly lovely experience!

サンセットのクルージングはよく参加していましたが、花火を見ながらのクルージングは初めての参加でした！
暗くなってからの出航でとても雰囲気も良く、花火も綺麗に見れてとても素敵な時間でした！！

Absolutely wonderful experience. Must try the banana boat ride for an opportunity to see giant sea turtles. We saw like 20. So beautiful. The music was fantastic. Thank you all so much 🌺❤️🌈

The staff is friendly and it's just so much fun!! You can enjoy it without any problems even if you don't understand English! The buffet has desserts in addition to the meals, and I was completely full. It was the best!

スタッフさんがフレンドリーでとにかく楽しい！！英語がわからなくても問題なく楽しめます！バイキングは食事以外にデザートもあって満腹になりました。フラ最高！

I participated in a sunset cruise. It departs from the yacht harbor in Waikiki and returns in about an hour and a half, making it easy to join. On the day I went, I could see the whales' spouts and tails far off in the distance, but the crew did their best to keep things lively and entertaining. Since it's nature, whether you get to see the whales up close is a matter of luck.

サンセットクルーズに参加しました。ワイキキのヨットハーバーから出発して1時間半程度で帰ってこられるので気軽に参加できます。
私が参加した日は遥か遠くにクジラの潮吹きや尻尾が見える程度でしたが、クルーの皆さんは何とか盛り上げようと楽しませてくれました。自然相手のことなので、クジラが近くで見られるかは運次第です。

This tour is amazing.

What’s not to love? Sailing is so cool, isn’t it?

Every time I come to Hawaii, I participate in this sailing trip.

Feeling the sea breeze and the waves is just the best.

You can also see Diamond Head from a different angle.

You should definitely try it!

このツアーは最高です。
何がー。セーリングってかっこいいじゃないですか。

毎回、ハワイに来るとこのセーリングに参加します。

潮風を受け、波を受け最高ですよ。

ダイヤモンドヘッドを違った角度からも見ることができますよ。

あなたも是非。

It was the best party, with only Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly. The staff was also kind and attentive. This was my second time, and it was great again.

日本人は私達ONLY。でも、とてもFRIENDLYなパーティーで最高でした。
スタッフも優しく丁寧でした。
２回目でしたが今回も最高でした。

We came for the show only and were pleasantly pleased with the performance! I especially enjoyed the “Is” section of showcasing his rise and what he means to the Hawaiian people as a whole. Still singing his recorded hit “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in my head. It was all very good. Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, the dancers…Hawaiian culture. Just great!! Don’t miss out!!

One of our favorite events of the week. Crew was funny and professional. Beach volleyball was super fun. We saw two turtles while snorkeling! Also wonderful that they have a free shuttle for dropoff and pickup

A wonderful word: the sea. You can overlook the entire town, and it feels great. I definitely recommend it. Experiencing it firsthand is much more amazing than just seeing it from land.

素敵の一言　海　街を全て見渡し　気持ちの良さ　是非おすすめします。　陸から見るより実際に経験すると素晴らしい経験が出来ます。

The fireworks from the sea were simply wonderful, as if I could have them all to myself. The drinks were free, but there were no snacks, so I might need to bring some, haha. I would love to participate again.

花火を独り占め出来る程　海からの花火は素敵の一言　お酒もフリーです。おつまみは無いので持参かも笑笑　また参加したいです。
