All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

First of all, the meeting place was easy to find. There were only Japanese people in my group, but the tour was conducted in both English and Japanese throughout. With few other participants, the bus was spacious, and we first stopped at the Green World Coffee Farm where we could purchase coffee. At the Dole Plantation, they even helped us buy train tickets. Since I had small children with me, we were pressed for time to enjoy the train ride, souvenirs, restrooms, and ice cream within the 90 minutes. Next, we headed to the North Shore, and it was about a 20-minute walk from the bus stop to our destination, Giovanni's, where we were recommended to try the shrimp truck, Camaron. According to our guide, the taste is almost the same as Giovanni's, and it was the best I had during the trip. Finally, we ended the tour by seeing King Kamehameha from the bus. It can be quite challenging to go on your own, so just being taken around was great, and the reassurance of having a Japanese-speaking guide made the tour very satisfying.

まず集合場所はわかりやすかったです。
日本人は私のグループしかいませんでしたが、終始英語と日本語でツアーをしてくれました。
他の参加者が少なくバスも広々しており、最初にグリーンワールドコーヒーファームに立ち寄りコーヒーを購入できました。
ドールプランテーションでは、列車のチケット購入の手伝いまで行ってくれました。
小さい子どもがいるからか、90分で列車とお土産とお手洗いとアイスクリームを食べるのに時間がかつかつでした。
次にノースショアへ向かいましたが、バス停から目的のジョバンニまでは徒歩20分ほどでカマロンを勧められました。ガイドさん曰く味はほぼジョバンニと同じとのこのことで旅中で一番美味しかったです。
最後にカメハメハ大王を車内から見て終わりでした。
なかなか自分で行くのには大変なので乗ってるだけで連れてくれるのと、日本語が通じる安心感とツアーは満足でした。

Last year, I participated in the tour that started at 11 AM, and it was great, so this year I signed up for the 7:30 AM tour. We went straight to three places: Balance Rock, a coffee bean shop, and the Haleiwa sign. After that, we leisurely explored the shops starting around 10 AM and gathered at 2 PM to return to Honolulu. It was nice that it wasn't crowded since it was early in the morning.

昨年は11時からのツアーに参加して良かったので今年は7時半のツアーに申込みました。
バランスロック　コーヒー豆屋　ハレイワ看板の3カ所を着いてすぐに行きました。その後10時ごろからお店をゆっくり見て2時に集合してホノルルまで帰りました。
朝早くだったので混んでなくて良かったです。

This was the highlight of our trip to Oahu. We had such an amazing time. My daughter who is six made friends with one of the staff and helped them clean all of the masks. We loved the snorkeling and the kayaking.. we were invited to join the speedboat, pulling the bananas out into the ocean and got to see some sea turtles! Everybody we spoke to was warm and inviting. The owner of the Boat even took time to explain to my son how the engines worked. Absolutely phenomenal experience. Thank you for everything.

The tour guides were very kind, and even though it wasn't a Japanese-speaking course, there was someone who could speak Japanese, which made me feel relieved. The video shown on the bus also had Japanese subtitles, making it easy to understand.

ツアーの方々はとても親切で、日本語対応コースじゃなかったのですが、日本語通じる方がいて、安心しました♪
バスの中で見るビデオも日本語の字幕付きで分かりやすかったです。

I'm glad I could see dolphins up close! While snorkeling, I also saw various fish. I had requested photos, so I'm happy to have many beautiful pictures of our group both on the boat and underwater. The English explanations were so fast that I couldn't catch anything, so it was definitely the right choice to have a Japanese guide. As for the hula, I'm not sure if it can really be called a hula show... Overall, it was a lot of fun!!

イルカが近くで見られてよかったです！シュノーケリング中も、いろんなお魚が見えました。写真もお願いしていたので、船上でも水中でもグループでのきれいな写真がたくさん残せて嬉しいです。英語の説明が早口で何一つ聞き取れなかったので、日本語ガイド付きにして正解でした。フラに関しては、あれをフラショーと呼んでいいのか謎ですが…全体的にとても楽しかったです！！

I chose this tour because it had a 90-minute stay, allowing me to ride the train at the Dole Plantation. The driver and guide, who spoke both Japanese and English, assisted with purchasing tickets on-site, making everything very smooth.

The pineapple field tour, which takes about 20 minutes by train, included English commentary, and I was soothed by the vast scenery. It was a lot of fun. I heard that the first train departs at 9:40 AM, but if there are many tourists, it may leave earlier. I recommend heading straight to the platform after purchasing your ticket. If you can get on early, you'll have more time to enjoy souvenir shopping and savor pineapple soft serve.

The plantation opens at 9:30 AM, but they tend to open early, so it's better to use the restroom at the entrance near the ticket booth beforehand.

After the plantation, we headed to the North Shore. The bus stops near Matsumoto Shave Ice, but if you're aiming for garlic shrimp, you'll need to walk about 15 minutes from there. The road is narrow, with traffic and large vehicles passing through, so please be careful. Considering the round trip for lunch, the 120-minute stay might feel a bit rushed, so I recommend acting quickly.

The white wagon serving garlic shrimp had a long line, but it moved surprisingly fast, and I was able to purchase it sooner than expected. The garlic shrimp from the wagon with the shrimp drawing a bit further down was not very crowded, but it took a little longer to prepare. The garlic shrimp was delicious!

After eating, I quickly returned to Matsumoto Shave Ice. There was also a long line there, but I was able to buy it in just under 10 minutes. I think it's a good idea to decide what to order while waiting.

After Matsumoto Shave Ice, there wasn't much time left, so I visited the nearby SNOOPY shop and used the restroom before returning to the bus 10 minutes before departure.

On the bus, the driver provided enjoyable commentary, which kept things interesting. The driving was safe, so I felt at ease.

While it wasn't an overly packed tour, it was a great experience where I could relax at the places I wanted to visit, and I was very satisfied.

ドールプランテーションで列車にのりたかったので、９０分の滞在時間があるこのツアーを選びました。日本語も英語も話すドライバー兼ガイドさんが、現地でのチケット購入サポートをしてくれたので、とてもスムーズでした。
列車でいく約２０分のパイナップル畑ツアーは英語の放送解説付き、そして広大な風景に癒されました。とても楽しかったです。パイナップル列車の始発は９時４０分と聞いていましたが、観光客が多いと早めに始発が出ます。チケットを購入したらプラットホームへ直行をおすすめします。早く乗れれば、早めにお土産選びを楽しめるし、パイナップルソフトクリームを堪能できますよ。
なお、プランテーションは９時半オープンですが早めに開けてくれるので、チケット購入ブース側にある入り口からトイレ使用をしておくとベターです。
プランテーションの後はノースショアへ。マツモトシェイブアイス近くにバスを停めてくれますが、ガーリックシュリンプお目当ての方は、そこから１５分ほど歩く必要があります。道が狭いし、交通量もあり、大型車も通行しているので十分気をつけてください。また、ランチの往復を考えると、ちょっと１２０分の滞在時間は忙しいかもしれませんので、早めに行動をおすすめします。
白ワゴンのガーリックシュリンプは長蛇の列でしたが、意外に進みがよく思ったよりも早く購入できました。もうちょっと歩いたところにあるエビの絵のワゴンのガーリックシュリンプは、あまり混んでないのですが出来上がってくるまでに少し時間がかかりました。ガーリックシュリンプ、美味しかったです！
食べたらすぐにマツモトシェイブアイスまで戻りました。マツモトシェイブアイスも長蛇の列でしたが、１０分弱で買えました。待っている間に注文する内容を決めておくと良いと思います。
マツモトシェイブアイスのあとは時間があまりなかったので、近くのSNOOPYショップと、乗車前のトイレを済ませて、出発１０分前にバスに戻りました。
バスではドライバーさんの楽しい解説があり、飽きずに過ごせました。安全運転でしたので、安心して過ごせました。
盛りだくさんのツアーではないですが、行きたいところでゆっくり過ごせたツアーでしたので、大満足です。

It was a bit cold, but once I got into the water, I didn't mind it at all. Thanks to arriving early in the morning, the clear underwater scenery was like a dragon palace. The sight of incredibly large, colorful fish swimming right in front of me was breathtaking. I definitely want to recommend this to everyone.

少々寒かったですが、海の中に入ると気になりませんでした。
朝早く来たおかげでクリアな水中はまるで竜宮城のような景色。信じられないほどの大きな色とりどりの魚たちが目の前を泳ぐ景色は圧巻でした。是非皆さんにお勧めしたいです。

this is a working tour. Yes, we got to do the rowing and worked to get out in the waves and ride it in. We are not the only ones on the water. We have to avoid all the swimmers who also wanted to ride the waves. Great fun! Great view! a bit of work but well worth it. We also got a little wet.

Had a wonderful day! Celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary in Hawaii! Kualoa ranch was also a perfect place to celebrate Mother’s Day!

It seemed like we could walk from our hotel in Waikiki, but we took a taxi called by the hotel to get to the Ala Wai Boat Harbor. When we arrived, the driver asked where to go, and when I gave him the address, he understood it was for parasailing. It was definitely better to pay $20, including tip, than to walk and get lost.

We arrived a bit early, so we checked in and waited in the van. Once we boarded the boat, we sped out to sea. There were three of us, and the rest were pairs, about four to five groups. We were fitted with harnesses and life jackets, and since we were the first group of three, we floated up from the back of the boat. We chose the height of 150 meters, and the view of Waikiki Beach was stunning. The weather was great, and it felt amazing.

It felt like we were on a swing, and while we were secured by the belt, I thought having a belt around the waist would provide more stability. However, I was able to take some photos with one hand free. Just before landing, we dipped slightly into the sea. I think we could land on the boat without getting wet, but our legs did get a little wet, which was a nice touch.

Our bags and sandals were stored under the boat seats, so they didn’t get wet. After we got off, the next group went up, and it was a continuous rotation. There was a note saying tips were always welcome, so I handed one out before getting off the boat.

The photos were $40, but they were worth it. We had 133 pictures taken. We were able to download them on the spot and received an SD card as well.

ワイキキのホテルから歩いても行けるようでしたが、ホテルで呼んでもらったタクシーで「アラワイボートハーバー」まで行ってもらって、どこ？って聞かれたので、番地を言うとパラセイリング？ってドライバーさんがわかってくれていてそこまで行けました。
チップ込で20$なら歩いて行って道に迷うより良かったと思います。
少し時間が早く着いてしまったので受付を済ませて、バンの中で待たせてもらいました。
ボートに乗り込むとすごいスピードで沖合へ出ます。私たちは3人組で他はペアが4～5組。
ハーネスと救命胴衣付けてもらって持っていると3人組の私たちが1番で、ボートの後ろの方からフワッと浮き上がり、高さ150mを選びましたがワイキキの浜を一望できて、天気も良くとても気持ち良かったです。
ブランコに乗っている気分でベルトに座りますが、腰にもベルトがあればもっと安定するかなと思いました。でも片手離して写真も少し撮れました。
着地の直前少し海に入ります。全く濡れずにボートに着地できると思いますが、ちょっと脚の方だけ海に浸かるのはサービスかな？それも楽しいです。
荷物とサンダルはボートの座席の下に入れるので濡れる事は無いです。
私たちが降りると次の組が上がり、次々入れ替わります。
チップはいつでもOKって書いてあったのでボート降りる前に渡しました。
写真は40$ですが買う価値あります。私たちのは133枚ありました。その場でダウンロードして、SDカードももらいました。

Enjoyed the hike in rainforest even though the hike seemed more like an intermediate level hike instead of a beginner's hike. (maybe I'm just out of shape more than I thought I was!) Driver to and from was friendly and knowledgeable about Manoa Falls and the surrounding areas. The bug spray, walking stick, and water bottle were a definite plus. Overall, we enjoyed the experience.

After dining on the open terrace, we moved indoors to enjoy the "Rock" A Hula Show. The show is wonderfully structured to showcase music from Hawaii and America, spanning from the past to the present. Even as a Japanese person, I found it enjoyable.

It starts with Hawaiian music and hula, gradually transitioning into the "Rock" era. When the show dives into the representatives of rock, "Elvis" and "Michael," the venue erupts with excitement! Everyone in the audience joins in singing! Since many of the songs are familiar to us, we had a great time. You can truly feel that the songs of "Elvis" and "Michael" are etched into the soul of Americans!

I wondered, "Rock?" even though I was in Hawaii, but I realized this was a fantastic form of entertainment in its own right! We had VIP seats, so we were in the front row, and the superstar who jumped off the stage even came into the audience! We could interact directly with them! My wife even got a kiss from Elvis, haha!

The fire dance that concluded the show was impressive! I highly recommend it! The perks of VIP seating include (1) a welcome drink plus one more drink, (2) priority at the buffet, allowing us to choose our meals without waiting in long lines, and (3) front-row seats at the show! You might receive a warm welcome from the superstars!

It was a wonderful show where traditional Hawaiian hula was elevated into super entertainment by the American people.

オープンテラスで食事後屋内シアターへ移動して「ロック」ア・フラショーを楽しみます。
ショーは過去から現在まで時代を追ってハワイとアメリカの音楽が楽しめる構成になっていて素晴らしい。日本人の私でも楽しめます。
出だしはハワイの音楽やフラを中心に進め、やがて「ロック」の時代へ。
ロックを代表する「プレスリー」「マイケル」に突入すると会場は大盛りあがり！会場参加者全員合唱！私たちも知ってる曲が多いので大いに楽しむことができます。やはり「プレスリー」「マイケル」の歌はアメリカ人の魂に刻まれているんだと実体感できます！
ハワイに来たのに「ロック？」とも思いましたが、これはこれで素晴らしいエンターテイメントだな！と感じました。
私たちはＶＩＰ席だったので最前列に座っていたのですが、ステージから飛び出したスーパースターは会場まで乱入！直接（！）触れ合うことができます。私の妻はプレスリーに挨拶キスまでしてもらってましたｗ！
ショーを締めくくるファイアーダンスはさすが！ぜひおすすめします！
ＶＩＰ席の特典は（１）ウェルカムドリンクの他に１モアドリンク付き（２）ビュッフェ優先で、長蛇の列に並ばす先に食事を選べます。（３）ショーでは最前席！スーパースターから熱い歓迎を受けることができる！かも！
ハワイの伝統的なフラをアメリカ国民がスーパーエンタテイメントに昇華した素晴らしいショーでした。

We had a tour with six people, guided by Chieko and Dan, who took us around Hanauma Bay. They provided attentive care, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience.

We were able to see many fish and even an eel, and the hour flew by. However, it did get a bit cold towards the end. I think a wetsuit is essential.

Making our own reservations, arranging transportation, and waiting in line to rent equipment and suits, as well as storing valuables, can be quite a hassle. With this tour, everything was arranged without any worries, and we were guided according to the day's conditions. The pick-up and drop-off were direct.

Thank you, Chieko! I had a great time. Thank you very much.

６人のツアーにチエコさんとダンさん二人ガイドがついて、ハナウマ湾を案内してくださいました。きめ細かく良く面倒を見てくださったので、安心して楽しめました。
沢山の魚や、ウツボなど、見ることができて、あっという間の1時間でした。が、最後は、寒くなってきました。ウェットスーツは必須だと思います。
自分で入場予約枠確保して足を手配したり、現地で並んで機材やスーツを借り、貴重品預けるのはのは、かなり面倒。これらが何の心配も無く、手配されていて、その日のコンディションに合わせて案内してもらえます。送迎も直行直帰でした。

チエコサン、お世話になりました。とても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time back at Hanauma in 10 years. There were fewer small tropical fish, but I saw quite a few medium to large fish! I think it's a cost-effective tour!

10年ぶりのハナウマでした。小さな熱帯魚類は少なくなったけど、中型〜大型の魚が結構見られました！　コスパの良いツアーだと思います！

I reserved a gold seat, but in reality, it was a silver seat. According to the official culture center, I couldn't select a gold seat, so I thought that by booking through this site, even at a higher price, I would be able to sit in a gold seat. I was disappointed.

ゴールド席で予約したのに、実際はシルバー席でした。
カルチャーセンターの公式だとゴールド席を選択出来なかったので、割高になってもこのサイトで取れば、ゴールド席に座れると思って、期待したのに残念です。

I decided to book a tour to explore a bit away from the center of the island. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was surprised when I got there! First of all, I want to say that my husband and I both want to recommend this to everyone coming to Hawaii! It became an unforgettable experience!

We were picked up by a bus in the afternoon and arrived at the location. To greet us was... a person who spoke fluent Japanese, which was impressive even for Hawaii. I'll explain more about this later, but it was a Japanese student who had come to Brigham Young University! I was amazed to learn that such an environment exists!

After that, we were guided through the Polynesian Cultural Center. Each area had content from different islands, and it seemed that the shows and events varied by time, so our guide helped us navigate efficiently. They provided detailed explanations about Polynesian culture, history, and dances, which sparked my interest in Polynesian culture. Thanks to this explanation, the luau show we enjoyed in the evening became much more enjoyable. Due to time constraints, we couldn't visit all the islands, but I believe those who managed to see everything would have found the luau show even more fun! I recommend taking your time to enjoy it thoroughly from an earlier hour.

This may deviate from the main purpose of the tour, but I learned that the Polynesian Cultural Center is also a place where Brigham Young University students work while studying. It serves to support students' tuition while preserving Polynesian culture. Personally, I found this entire concept to be the most impactful! I felt an overwhelming desire to support this place, where Japanese students share their culture with students from the Polynesian islands and around the world, conveying their unique charms to the guests.

In Japan, we learn about Polynesian culture only to a limited extent in history classes, but this place reignited my interest. While it's important to view culture from various angles, experiences that allow you to engage with Polynesian culture itself are quite rare. It's essential to visit without overthinking it; just go with a tourist mindset.

And finally, the luau show... it was a culmination of the charm of each culture we saw during the day, and it was an impressive experience. Thanks to the explanations we received beforehand, we were able to enjoy it fully, feeling the significance of every movement. I was even more surprised to see so many students participating in this authentic show. I want to see it multiple times and will definitely come back. I couldn't contain my excitement and talked about the show the whole way back on the bus. I wonder how many students practice alongside their studies... I hope many people will get to see it in person.

To WAKANA, who guided us so kindly, and to all the students, please take the beauty of this place and culture back to your home country and spread it even further! We are cheering for you from Japan! I will definitely come back to visit again!

島の中心部からちょっと離れたところに行ってみようかなということで予約してみたツアー。
正直どんなところかよくわかっていなかったのですが、、、行ってびっくり！！！
はじめにコメントしますが、私たち夫婦そろって、ハワイに来る人みんなにおすすめしたい！となりました！忘れられない経験になりました！

午後出発のバスでピックアップされて現地に到着。出迎えてくれたのは...ハワイとは言え流石に流暢な日本語の方...詳細後述しますが、ブリガム・ヤング大学に日本から飛び込んだ、日本人の学生さんでした！そんな環境があるんだぁとびっくり！

そしてそのあとはポリネシアカルチャーセンターをご案内頂きました。各エリアに島々のコンテンツが分かれているのですが、時間帯によってやっているショーやイベントが違うみたいで、案内の方が効率よく回れるようアテンドしてくれました。そこではポリネシアの文化、歴史、踊りなどなどを丁寧にご説明頂き、ポリネシア文化に興味が湧きました。そして、この説明のおかげで、夜に楽しむルアウショーが何倍も楽しくなります。時間の都合上全部の島を周ることはできませんでしたが、全部見れた方がきっとルアウショーももっと楽しいはず、、、！もっと早い時間から時間をかけてゆっくりじっくり楽しむのもおすすめです。

ツアーの本旨とはズレるかも知れませんが、このポリネシアカルチャーセンターはブリガムヤング大学の学生さんが働きながら学ぶ場所にもなっているとのこと。学生の学費支援をしながら、ポリネシアの文化を守っている場所になっているとのことでした。
個人的には、このコンセプト全体が一番胸に刺さりました、、、！そしてそこに飛び込んだ日本の学生さんが、ポリネシア諸島出身の学生、世界中の学生と文化を共有しながら、それぞれの魅力をお客さんに伝えているという、この場所、存在を応援したくてたまらなくなりました。

日本ではポリネシアの文化は少し歴史で学ぶ程度ですが、改めて興味が湧く場所でした。文化をいろんな角度で観ることはもちろん大事ですが、そもそもポリネシアカルチャー自体に触れる経験自体そんなに多くないし、とにかく行ってみないことには接点も何もないですので、難しく考えず、観光気分で行ってみることが大事に思いました。

そして最後のルアウショー...日中に見た各文化の魅力の集大成が詰め込められ、圧巻の時間でした。本当に事前に説明してもらったおかげでしっかり楽しめる、一挙一動の意味を感じる素晴らしいひとときでした。この本格的なショーに学生さんもたくさんいるってのだからよりびっくり。何度も見たい、また絶対に来ます。興奮冷めやらず、帰りのバスでずっとショーの話をしていました。どれだけの学生さんが学業とともに練習しているのかなぁと、、、ぜひ現地でいろんな人に見てほしいです。
とても丁寧に案内してくれたWAKANAさん、学生の皆さん、どうかこの場所、文化の素晴らしさを母国に持ち帰って、もっともっと広めてくださいね！日本から心より応援しています！絶対にまた遊びに行きますね！

We had a wonderful time with the entire crew! The bbq was great as well! Would recommend doing this when in Hawaii! They took us to see turtles and I got some great pictures and video of turtles swimming!

My teenagers and I had a great experience with Captain Hosanna and her crew. Weather was windier than one might prefer, but ride was smooth and we saw turtles on the way and then again at the reef, with many other colorful fish. Great snacks, well-managed deck, and they even found a prescription snorkel for me last-minute. We had the hotel pickup and dropoff, which was timely and professional. Well-run operation and very friendly staff at every interaction.

Since our driver was Japanese, it was enjoyable to hear various stories about Hawaii during the ride. Gas prices seem to be rising, so if there are two of you, I think it's better than renting a car.

日本人のドライバーさんでしたので車中もハワイについて色々お話が聞けて楽しかったです。ガソリンも高くなっているようなので2人であれば、レンタカーより良いとおもいます。

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I could handle the 150 meters. But it was definitely more comfortable up in the sky than on the boat! I thought I might be scared at such a height, but it was totally fine. Once I got up there, it was stable, and I was amazed by the grandeur of the scenery. However, I was a bit nervous about changing my position, so I held onto the harness tightly and couldn't take many photos. I'm really glad I had the experience!

最初は、150m、どうしよう、耐えられるかな？と不安でしたが、空の上の方がボートの上より断然快適でした！
高いところで怖いかも？なんて思ってましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
上に上がってしまえば安定して、景色の雄大さに感動です。
ただ、やはり自分の体制を変えることに不安があり、ハーネスをしっかり握っていたので、写真はたくさんは撮れませんでした。
本当に体験できてよかったです！

I checked the tide and participated in the morning. The knee-deep water was decent, but I was surprised that it was cold even in May, probably due to the strong wind. My daughter was feeling cold the whole time and ended up wanting to get back on the boat early.

I didn't want to rent snorkeling gear, so I bought my own in Japan. I thought I saw something that mentioned we might encounter sea turtles, so I asked the guide if they could take us to a place where we could see them. They coldly replied that there are no sea turtles and that they wouldn't go to such a place. It seems that what I saw might have been a tour authorized by the state government.

The snorkeling set wasn't necessary; just a pair of goggles for the pool would have sufficed. The area enclosed by the buoys felt quite small.

Because of the strong wind, the stand-up paddleboard was easily swept outside the buoys, making it hard to enjoy. The donuts looked like they came in various types in the photos, but there was only one kind available.

The live music was lovely, but although it appeared to be a duet in the photos, there was only one performer. Next time I go, I think I will avoid this tour based on this experience.

潮位は調べて午前中に参加しました。
膝位でまずまずでしたが、風が強いせいか5月でも寒いのにびっくりです。娘はずっと寒がっていて早々に船に引き上げてしまいました。
シュノーケリング をレンタルするのが嫌で日本で購入して行きました。海亀に遭遇できるかもって文言を見た気がしたので、日本対応のガイドさんに海亀が見えるところに連れて行ってもらえるのですかと聞いた所、海亀なんていません。そんな所には行きませんと冷たく言い放たれてしまいました。どうも私が見たのは州政府公認許可を得ているツアーだったのかもです。
シュノーケリング のセットは必要なくただプールで使うゴーグルで事足りる感じでした。ブイで囲まれている面積も狭い感じでした。
風が強いのでSUPが流されてブイの外にすぐ出る感じであまり楽しめなかったです。
ドーナツも写真ではいろいろな種類が写ってますが1種類だけでした。
生演奏は素敵でしたが、写真では2人で演奏ですがお1人でした。
今度行くときは今回の事を踏まえてこのツアーにはしないかと思います。

The meeting place and the harbor weren't very windy, but at the actual activity location, it was quite windy and there were waves, so a few participants experienced seasickness. Fortunately, the crew was kind and helpful. The parasailing itself was pleasant, and we had a great view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, which was quite nice.

集合場所や港の中はそんなに風が強く無かったのですが、実際のアクティビティ場所は風が強く波も有ったので船酔いする参加者が数人居ました。
幸いクルーの方が親切だったので助かりました。
パラセーリング自体は気持ち良く、ワイキキの浜辺やダイヤモンドヘッドも良く見えなかなか良かったです。

Guides were friendly, approachable and experienced in their craft. All questions and concerns were answered technically and thoughtfully. Would go again! 😃

This was my second time watching Rock-A-Hula, and the content had been updated since my last visit, making it feel fresh even for repeat visitors! The part that incorporated the world of the movie "Moana" really energized the entire venue, and it was especially impressive to see the joy on the children's faces.

Additionally, since I was seated close to the center front, I was able to see the performers' expressions and subtle movements up close. The fire dance was particularly breathtaking, with the heat and warmth of the flames creating an incredible atmosphere. The sense of realism was so strong that I could even see the performers sweating, making me feel fully immersed in the world of the show.

The buffet I enjoyed before the show was also highly satisfying, with a wide variety of dishes that made the dining experience enjoyable. There were whole pineapples on the tables, and when opened, they revealed cut pineapple inside! It was a rare opportunity to enjoy pineapple in such a grand way, adding to the special Hawaiian experience.

Moreover, the hula lesson held in the buffet area was memorable. The audience was able to participate together, creating a wonderful sense of unity and excitement throughout the venue. The atmosphere was very welcoming for beginners, allowing everyone to enjoy a Hawaiian vibe even before the show started.

Located in the heart of Waikiki, it's also appealing that many hotels are within walking distance. This makes it easy to join after sightseeing or shopping, allowing for an efficient way to enjoy within a limited travel schedule. It's the perfect entertainment for a Hawaiian night, combining a show, dining, and interactive experiences. I highly recommend this show for family trips!

2回目のRock-A-Hula鑑賞でしたが、前回とはまた内容が更新されており、リピーターでも新鮮な気持ちで楽しめました！映画『Moana』の世界観を取り入れたパートでは会場全体が盛り上がっており、特に会場にいた子どもたちが喜んでいたのが印象的でした。

また、今回は中央前方の席だったこともあり、ステージとの距離が非常に近く、演者の表情や細かな動きまでしっかり見ることができました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻で、炎の熱気や温かさが伝わってくるほどの迫力。演者の汗まで見えるほど臨場感があり、ショーの世界に入り込んだような没入感を味わえました。

ショー前に利用したビュッフェも満足度が高く、料理の種類が豊富で、食事の時間からしっかり楽しめました。テーブルには丸ごとのパイナップルが置かれており、開けると中にはカットされたパイナップルが！普段なかなかできないくらい豪快にパイナップルを味わうことができ、ハワイらしい特別感を感じられました。

また、ビュッフェ会場で行われたフラレッスンも印象的でした。観客も一緒に参加できるスタイルで、会場全体が自然と一つになって盛り上がっていたのがとても良かったです。フラ初心者も気軽に参加しやすい雰囲気で、ショーが始まる前からハワイらしい時間を楽しむことができました。

ワイキキ中心部に位置しているため、多くのホテルから徒歩でアクセスできるのも魅力のひとつです。観光やショッピングの後にも参加しやすく、限られた旅行時間の中でも効率よく楽しめると感じました。ショー・食事・参加型体験をまとめて楽しめる、ハワイの夜にぴったりのエンターテインメントです。家族旅行にもぜひおすすめしたいショーです！

Since it was a solo trip to Hawaii, I participated alone, but I enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking. Being an older lady, it was challenging to get into the kayak, but thanks to the kind staff, I was able to get on safely, which was great. All the staff were very friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

ひとりでのハワイ旅だったのでひとりで参加したがシュノーケリングやカヤックを楽しんだ。おばちゃんなのでカヤックに乗るのが大変だったが親切なスタッフのおかげで無事に乗れたのはよかった。スタッフのみんながとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間を過ごせた。

It was supposed to be a straight-forward excursion... pick us up, drop us off, pick us up again. However, our driver (unfortunately, I did not get his name) was such a hoot!!! At 5am, he had an energy and attitude that made everyone in the bus a little bit happier The pickup was quick and efficient. The driver made every stop an occasion.

The morning tour was fully booked, so I joined the afternoon tour. The afternoon was perfect for snorkeling, and I had a great time. The atmosphere on the boat and the staff were kind, and I truly made wonderful memories.

午前のツアーは空きが無く、午後のツアーに参加しました。
午後はシュノーケリングするのには最適で、ずっと楽しめました。
船の中の雰囲気やスタッフの方も優しくて、本当にいい思い出が出来ました。

It was an amazing tour ...the staff is super friendly and the small group mad it so privat ....we had just a wonderful time

It was beautiful and informative. We had a great guide too. Highly recommend.

Had a great time with our instructor and tour guide. He made it very easy very quick to get in the park. Usually when you go to a new place, you don’t know where you’re going. Told us where to go. What to do pick us up. Drop us off skip some lines. It was just an awesome time. Had a blast definitely would recommend my nephew and his wife are coming next month and I am telling him to go nowhere else.Veltra
