All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

On the seventh day in Hawaii, we had a reservation for a dinner show on our last night. We took the usual photos and enjoyed a welcome drink. The dinner with drinks was leisurely, allowing us to eat deliciously and feel full. The show featured great dancing and singing, especially Michael Jackson was amazing! Being close to the audience and participating together made it a fun last night.

ハワイ７日目、最後の夜にディナーショーの予約でした。
定番の写真撮影を行い、ウエルカムドリンク
ドリンク付きディナーは、時間がゆっくりあったので、美味しく食べて満腹になりました。
ショーは、ダンスも歌も良かった。特にマイケルジャクソン最高！でした。
お客さまに近く、一緒に参加もあり楽しいラストナイト♡になりました。

I started with the canyon plan, but I was suddenly informed that horseback riding was canceled due to the muddy ground from the rain the day before and the rain on the day itself, which made it even more dangerous. However, I was quickly switched to a seaside horseback riding experience where the weather was nice, and I had an incredibly fun time.

Hiro, who was different from the initial staff, was amazing until the very end. Before we went horseback riding, the staff explained the precautions in English and detailed the process of getting on the horse, which was very easy to understand. As a first-timer, I felt reassured and was able to ride without any trouble. The horse was calm and well-behaved.

After riding, I learned about tipping, which is not common in Japan. I was told that if I enjoyed the experience, I should hand over a certain amount of dollars at the end, so I was able to do that smoothly.

During lunch, I made a phone reservation to ensure we could eat as soon as the restaurant opened, and by the time we arrived, our orders were ready. Hiro also provided us with unique experiences that we wouldn't find elsewhere until just before we parted ways.

I know I've written a lot, but I truly believe that the quality of the tour was largely due to the role of the tour coordinator. Although I suddenly switched from the more expensive canyon horseback riding plan to the more affordable seaside option, thanks to Hiro, I had a really enjoyable day. Of course, the difference in price for the plans was refunded the next day.

渓谷プランでスタートしましたが、乗馬は突然の中止（前日の雨で山の地面がぬかるんでいた上に当日も雨が降ったので尚更危険な状態となった）を言い渡されました。が、しかし即、天気の良かった海辺の乗馬に入れ込んでもらい
超楽しい時間を過ごせました。
最初のスタッフと変わったHiroさん、最後の最後まで最高でしたよ。
乗馬に行く前には、乗馬のスタッフは英語で注意事項を喋るからと、こんなことの説明があるとかの馬に乗るまでの流れ等々を詳細に話してくれました。非常に分かりやすく、初体験の私も安心して苦労することなく乗馬できました。
馬も大人しく、行儀も良かったですよ。
乗馬後は、日本には無いチップについて、こういう訳で、楽しかったと思たら◯ドルを最後に手渡してあげてくださいと馬場に向かう車内て教えてもらっていたので、すんなり手渡すこともできました。
昼食時には、開店と同時に食べられるように、注文を各人に聞いて店に電話予約、店に着いた頃には、本当に注文した食事ができている状態でした。他にもヒロさんには、他では味わえないことを解散直前までやってもらいました。
長々書き込んでいますが、ツアーの内容が良かったと感じるのは、やはり同行するツアーコーディネーターの役割が100%ですね
値段の高い渓谷乗馬プランから、安めの海辺乗馬に突然なりましたが、ヒロさんのおかげで、本当に楽しい一日を過ごせました。
当然、プランの値段に対する差額は、翌日に戻ってきました。

I wanted to have a memorable dinner for our honeymoon, so I participated in a show with a backstage tour. First, we were welcomed at the entrance with a hula dance, and then when we were taken to the VIP room, Michael Jackson greeted us! Since the highlight of this show was Michael's performance, I was already quite excited at this point! We took photos (which we received later) and enjoyed some champagne and finger foods. Since I don't drink alcohol, I had a non-alcoholic drink. After relaxing a bit in the VIP room, we went on the backstage tour. We got to see the instruments used in the show, experience the headsets worn by the hula dancers, and check out the costumes of Michael and Elvis.

After that, we had dinner in the front row of the stage! The lobster appetizer, the fish and meat main dishes, and the pineapple gelato were all perfectly portioned and very delicious. After enjoying dinner at a leisurely pace, the much-anticipated show began! It was a fantastic performance with hula dancing, Elvis, a singer from Hawaii named Sienna (she's the real deal! lol), Michael Jackson, and fire dancing—it was an incredibly powerful show! Michael and Elvis came to the audience while singing, and since we were in the front row, we were able to interact with them multiple times, creating wonderful memories. By signing up for the backstage tour, you can definitely secure a front-row table, so while it’s a bit pricey, I think it’s worth it! I highly recommend the Rock-a-Hula show for a memorable night in Hawaii!

ハネムーンで何か記念になるディナーがしたいなと思い、バックステージツアー付きのショーに参加しました。
まず入り口ではフラダンスでお出迎え、その後VIPルームに通されると、マイケルジャクソンが出迎えてくれました！このショーでの一番の楽しみがマイケルのショーだったので、この時点でかなりテンションが上がりました！写真撮影をし（その写真は後で貰えます＾＾）シャンパンとフィンガーフードで小腹を満たしました。私はお酒が飲めないので、ノンアルコールのドリンクを頂きました。VIPルームで少しゆっくりした後は、バックステージツアーです。ショーで使う楽器を見たり、フラのダンサーが付けて踊るヘッドセットなどを体験したり、マイケルやエルヴィスの衣装などを見て回りました。
その後、ステージの最前列でディナー！ロブスターの前菜、魚とお肉のメインディッシュ、パイナップルのジェラートと、量も丁度良く、とてもおいしかったです。
ディナーをゆっくり頂いた後は、お待ちかねのショーが始まりました！フラダンス、エルヴィス、ハワイ出身の歌手Sienna(彼女は本物です！笑)、マイケルジャクソン、そしてファイアーダンスと、とても迫力のある素晴らしいショーでした！マイケルやエルヴィスが歌いながら客席に来てくれるのですが、最前列なので何回も触れ合うことができ、とても良い思い出になりました。バックステージツアーに申し込むと、絶対に最前列のテーブルを確保できるので、少し高いですが、その価値はあると思います！ハワイの一夜の思い出に、ロック・ア・フラショー、お勧めします＾＾

I go to Hawaii almost every year, and I had always been curious about "Rock-a-Hula" whenever I saw the signs at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. This time, I finally got to experience it for the first time. I participated in the version that included a backstage tour.

It started with a photo opportunity in the VIP room with one of the women performing in the show. (The photo taken here is complimentary.) After that, we were treated to champagne, snacks, and fruits, and then it was time to tour the backstage. The explanations were in English, but even someone like me, who struggles with English, could understand thanks to simple vocabulary and gestures, making it an enjoyable experience. I think the explanations about the costumes and stage setups made the show even more enjoyable.

After that, I was guided to a seat in the center front row for dinner. The cocktails, lobster, beef steak, salmon, and dessert were all delicious.

Then came the main event, the show. With hula dancing, fire dancing, and live music, it was incredibly powerful. The Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson impersonators, along with the singer from the VIP room, had impressive vocal skills, and I was captivated by their performances. The Elvis impersonator even came down from the stage during the show to offer guests a cloth (to wipe sweat?) and a fresh flower lei, giving a little kiss on the cheek as a service. I also received a blue cloth, which made me a bit nervous (laughs).

Being in the center front row, I was close enough to see the performers' sweat, making for a thrilling and engaging live experience. After the show, I was able to take photos with the performers at the venue's exit. I also got to have the photo taken in the VIP room signed.

I’m really glad I chose the backstage tour; I am very satisfied with the experience.

　ほぼ毎年ハワイに行きますが、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターで看板等を見る度に気になっていた「ロック・ア・フラ」を今回初めて鑑賞しました。私が参加したのは、バックステージツアー付きのものです。
　VIPルームでショーに出られる女性との記念撮影から始まりました。（ここで写していただいた写真は、無料でいただけます。）その後、シャンパンとおつまみやフルーツでおもてなしいただき、いよいよバックステージを見学です。説明は英語でしたが、英語が苦手な私でも理解可能な英単語や身振り手振りで、楽しく説明を伺うことができました。衣装や舞台装置等の説明を受けていたことで、より一層ショーが楽しくなったと思います。
　この後、舞台から最前列中央の席に案内され、ディナーをいただきました。カクテルとロブスター・ビーフステーキ・サーモン・デザート、どれも美味しかったです。
　食後は本命のショーです。フラダンスあり、ファイアーダンスありで、演奏もライブですので迫力満点でした。エルビスプレスリーとマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさん、VIPルームで一緒に写真を撮ってくださった女性のシンガーが歌唱力があり、とても楽しく歌に聞き惚れました。プレスリーのそっくりさんは、途中でステージから降りて、お客様に汗を拭いた布（？）や生花のレイをかけて、ほっぺにチュッというサービスもありました。私もブルーの布をいただき、ちょっとドキドキしました(笑）
最前列中央の席でしたので、出演者の汗も見えちゃう位の距離で、大迫力で見ごたえのあるライブでした。
　終了後は、会場の出口で出演者と自分のカメラで写真を撮ってもらえました。VIPルームで最初に撮っていただいた写真にサインをいただくこともできました。
バックステージツアー付きを選んで、本当に良かったと満足しております。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon!!
Amid a packed schedule of wedding photos, shark diving, and skydiving, I really wanted to see a Hawaiian show.
However, my husband didn't seem very interested...
That's when I found this show!!
I thought my husband, who loves music, might be interested, so I made a reservation.
During the backstage tour, we got to experience the hair accessories used in the show and met the cast up close!!
The powerful show was absolutely amazing!!!
On our way back, we even received a commemorative photo with the cast as a gift!!
It's the best memory to cherish!!

新婚旅行でハワイに！！
ウエディングフォトやシャークダイブ・スカイダイビングとスケジュールがいっぱいの中、どうしてもハワイアンショーが観てみたかった私。
しかし、主人はあまり興味がなさそう…
そんな時見つけたのが今回のショーでした！！
音楽好きな主人が興味を持ってくれそうと予約してみました。
バックステージツアーでは、実際にショーで使用している髪飾りを体験したり。
キャストさんと間近でお会いしたり！！
なんといっても、大迫力のショーは最高でした！！！
帰りにはキャストさんとの記念写真のプレゼントも！！
記念に残る最高の思い出です！！

Despite the strong winds and high waves, along with the forecast of rain, we managed to get through the activities. Still, thanks to the crew, we had a great time, and in the end, a turtle even showed up. It was so exciting to see a turtle swimming right in front of us!

強風で波が高いコンディションに加え、雨の予報の中、アクティビティ中はなんとか持ちました。
それでも、クルーの皆さんのおかげで楽しく過ごすことが出来、最後には亀も来てくれました。
目の前を亀が泳いでいて大興奮でした。

Had a great time and the guides were hilarious! Saw a ton of turtles and fish!

Diving about 88 feet with the submarine, I was able to see various fish and turtles, which was a valuable experience. I also appreciate the timely arrangements for the pick-up service.

８８フィートぐらいサブマリンで潜って、いろいろな魚やカメを観ることができて、貴重な体験ができました。送迎アレンジも時間通りでご案内いただき感謝しております。

We appreciated the enthusiasm of the crew, personalized attention, and the freshly made cocktails. I would not only recommend this group to others, but when we return we will definitely do another tour! Thank you.

This is my second time using it. Since there is an all-you-can-drink option, I think the "Sunset Cruise" is irresistible for alcohol lovers!

2度目の利用です。
ドリンク飲み放題なので、お酒好きにはたまらない”サンセットクルーズ”だと思います！！

I signed up for an optional tour that has been a hot topic in Hawaii, but my first choice date was fully booked, so I was able to participate on my second choice date. I can understand why it was so popular to be fully booked! The sandbar was very mystical and beautiful.☆

ハワイでずっと話題になっているオプショナルツアーだったので、参加申込みをしたのですが、最初の希望日が満席だったので第二希望の日にちで参加する事が出来ました。
満席になるくらいの人気だったのも参加してみて納得！
サンドバーはとても神秘的で綺麗でした☆

It was much more fun than I had imagined!
Turning off the engine and moving with the power of the wind felt really nice.
It was enjoyable to sail through the blue sea before sunset and to see Diamond Head, and the sunset was, of course, beautiful.
The two staff members always kept the atmosphere lively, making it a fun experience throughout.

Points to note:
- Depending on where you sit, you might get splashed by the waves (if you don't sit at the edge, you won't get wet at all).
- Since it was December, it got cold after sunset, so having a jacket like a hoodie would be a good idea.

想像していたよりもずっと、楽しかったです！
エンジンを切って、風の力で進むので、とても気持ち良いです。
日が落ちる前に、青い海を進むのも、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見るのも楽しく、サンセットは言うまでもなく綺麗でした。
スタッフの方2名は、常に船を盛り上げてくれ、終始楽しい雰囲気でした。

注意点は、
・座る場所によっては思いっきり波を受けて濡れること(端っこに座っていなければ全く濡れることはありません)
・12月だったので、日没後は寒くなるので、パーカーなどの上着があるといいと思います

They guys were awesome to deal with and worked hard as it was super windy!
We were scared though as the winds were so powerful and they struggled getting the shoot up.

I had such a fun experience that I can't believe I did it in my lifetime! For this price, it felt like a great deal! I asked for both video and photos, and I appreciate that they edited them beautifully on their own! I definitely want to do this again when I go to Hawaii!

こんなに楽しい体験は人生でないと思えるほどやってよかったです！ これでこの値段なら安いと思えるくらい素敵でした！ ビデオも写真もお願いしましたが、編集も勝手にかっこよく仕上げてくれて感謝です！ またハワイ行ったら絶対やりたいです！

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. I had heard that we might encounter wild dolphins and sea turtles, but since it’s nature, I thought it would depend on luck. Once we set sail and enjoyed the beautiful ocean scenery, we encountered a pod of dolphins about three times. With the crew's guidance, we were able to anticipate the direction the dolphins were swimming and saw them swimming right below us, which was very thrilling and exciting. We also encountered a large sea turtle, making it a very satisfying tour.

I participated in the tour in mid-November, but it was cold after coming out of the sea, so I recommend renting a wetsuit. There were also a few people who got seasick, so it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a once-in-a-lifetime memory that I could only experience here.

ハネムーンで参加しました。
野生のイルカやウミガメに出会えるとの事ですが、自然相手なので運が良ければという思いでした。いざ出港し、海上の景色も堪能していると、3回ほどイルカの群れに出会えました。クルーの方の誘導でイルカ達の泳ぐ方向へ先回りし、自分達の真下をイルカの群れが泳いでいき、とても迫力があってすごく盛り上がりました。また、大きなウミガメにも遭遇し、とても満足いくツアーとなりました。
11月中旬にツアーに参加したのですが、海から出た後が寒く、ウエットスーツはレンタルすることをお勧めします。
船酔いでダウンされている方も数名いらっしゃったので、酔い止めは服用された方がいいかもしれません。
お天気にも恵まれ、ここでしか体験できない一生の思い出になりました。

It's an amazing trip on Bob's boat, the crew are so nice and super fun.
We saw many turtles and fish near the reef. Just awesome.

It was truly a miraculous experience to see so many dolphins and even spot whales three times. Swimming in high waves was also a first for me, and while it was a bit scary, it was exciting. Above all, the staff were all very warm and welcoming, and I'm really glad I participated in this tour. It was so much fun!

たくさんのイルカをみれて、クジラも3回もみれて本当に奇跡のような体験でした。
高い波の中を泳ぐことも初めての体験で少し怖かったけどワクワクしました。
なによりもスタッフの方がとても温かい方ばかりで本当にこのツアーに参加してよかったです。
とっても楽しかったです！

We gathered early in the morning and arrived at the northern airport just before 7 AM. The explanation time was surprisingly short, and there was a sense of urgency to get going. Even though I didn't opt for video recording, I thought at least we could have some conversation, but the instructor was mostly focused on preparing without much interaction. It felt quite impersonal.

Once we took off in the Cessna, it was all very matter-of-fact. Well, I guess that’s just the instructor's personality. What I didn’t like was the way we descended after deploying the paraglider. It was a rapid descent with sudden stops and sharp turns—way too fast. My hips were hurting! Isn’t that a bit too self-centered?

Before I knew it, we were back on the ground. The instructor quickly packed up, probably because it’s just another day for them. After about 15 minutes of maintenance and a break, the instructor was off again with new guests.

I mean, it's fine to be calm and collected, but honestly, the roughness of the descent made me not want to tip. Even in business, I expected at least a minimum level of kindness. Just how many times do you have to do this to get it right? Please don’t treat customers roughly. I won’t be doing this again on Oahu.

早朝集合で、北部の空港着いたのが7時前。
説明時間がやたら短く、さっさといくぞ感。
ビデオ撮影やら、オプション付けてなかったけどさ、せめて会話くらいしてくんね？と思うくらいほとんど絡みなくどんどん支度していくインストラクター。雑感がすごかった。
さあ、セスナで上昇、飛ぶときがきても、淡々と。。。まあ、インストラクターの個性でしょうけど。
良くなかったのはパラグライダー展開後の降下の仕方。急降下、急制動、急旋回、はやいはやい。股関節痛いんですが？？！自分本位過ぎではないですかね？
あっという間に地上着。さっさと片付けるインストラクター。まあ、日常だから？
その後、15分くらい整備片付けと休憩したインストラクターはまた新たな客人と空へ。
はぁ、いや、いいんですよ淡々とってところは。ただ、降下の乱暴な感じは正直、チップあげたくなくなりますわ。
ビジネスとしても、最低限の優しさは欲しかったな。
回数こなしてナンボ？？客を乱暴に扱わないでね〜。オアフ島ではもうやらないよ。

Before running the course, you are required to do a trial run for about 10 minutes. If you are not able to drive well during the trial run without any practice, you will be put on a buggy driven by staff for the following 50 minutes. The steering can be a bit heavy for women, and it requires some getting used to, but if you go off the course even once, you will be disqualified. This might be the American quality, but compared to Japan, it feels like there is a lack of attentiveness. Since I paid a high price, I would like to have a bit more practice. Of course, I understand that human life is important, but it doesn't make sense that the trial run is more difficult than the actual event.

コースを走る前に10分程度の試走をさせられます。練習もない状態で試走させられ、上手く運転できなかったらそのあとの50分程度は係が運転するバギーに乗せられます。女性にはハンドルが少し重く、また慣れが必要なのに、一度でもコースアウトすると、リタイアさせられます。これがアメリカクオリティかもしれませんが、日本と比べると丁寧さが足りないように感じられます。高いお金を払ったのだから、少しぐらい多目に練習をさせてほしい。もちろん、人命が大切なのは分かりまが、本番より試走の方が難しいのが納得いかない。

There was one guide for five participants, and it seemed that my friend, who is not good at swimming, as well as the other participants, were all new to snorkeling. The guide taught us carefully, which made me feel at ease. There were plenty of fish, and we were able to see a sea turtle, so I was very satisfied!

5名参加のガイドさん1名でしたが、泳ぎが苦手な友人も他の参加者の方々も初めてのシュノーケリングだったみたいですが、丁寧に教えてくださっていて、安心しました。
お魚もたくさんいましたし、ウミガメも見ることができて、すごく満足でした！

This was the tour I was looking forward to the most. I checked the water level at the sandbar in advance and knew that at this time of year, it would be tough at night, so I expected it to be up to my waist. In reality, it was only up to my knees, which made me happy.

It was cloudy at first, but it cleared up later, and I was moved to see such a wonderful sandbar. (Having just seen the Phantom Island in Ishigaki, I thought it was great in comparison, but I was very satisfied.) My husband and I weren't adjusting well to the food in Hawaii and were feeling like we wanted to return to Japan soon (Wolfgang Puck was delicious), but the hamburger lunch was tasty, and we both agreed it was good.

It was my first time snorkeling! The instructions were clear, and although I was scared at first in the deep sea, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed for an hour! Being able to watch a sea turtle resting on the coral right in front of me is my best memory. I tend to get seasick and forgot to take motion sickness medication, but in the end, I was okay. However, I recommend that anyone who is worried should take it with them!

The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and fun, which made it enjoyable. I think this tour is worth more than the price! If I have the chance again, I would like to bring my parents along.

一番楽しみにしていたツアーです。
サンドバーの水位は事前に調べて、今の時期は夜ではないと厳しいのはわかっていたので腰まであるのは想定内でした^ ^
実際は膝上だったので嬉しかったです。
最初は曇っていましたが、途中から晴れてきてとてもステキなサンドバーが見られて感動しました。(先日、石垣島で幻の島を見てきたあとだったのでそれに比べれば…でしたが大満足◎)
ハワイの食事が合わなくて、私も主人も早く日本に帰りたい気持ちになっていたのですが(ウルフギャングはおいしかった)、ハンバーガーランチはおいしくて二人とも良かったね〜と話していました^ ^
シュノーケリングは私は人生初！でしたが分かりやすく教えて頂けたし、とても深い海で最初は怖かったけど気づけば一時間夢中になっていました！珊瑚で休憩しているウミガメを目の前でずーっと眺めることができて一番の思い出です。船酔いしやすいのに酔い止めを忘れてしまい、、、結果的には大丈夫でしたが心配な方は飲んで行かれることをオススメします！
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく面白くて楽しかったです^ ^
お値段以上のツアーだと思います！また機会があれば両親も連れて参加したいです。

I participated in the 150-meter plan. It was quite expensive, but I didn't feel scared at all. However, it was a bit frightening when we were swaying... (laughs) Since it was sunny, the view was very beautiful. You can see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach all at once. It was surprisingly cold up there, so I recommend wearing a rash guard or a T-shirt (something that can get wet) over your swimsuit. We moved by boat, and it swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking anti-nausea medication is a must.

There were two other Japanese couples on the same boat, and we took turns flying. We were the last ones, but we collaborated with the other couples to take photos and videos, and exchanged them via AirDrop afterward! While local people can take photos for you, it costs an additional $30 to get the data on an SD card. Since we didn't have any videos, I recommend collaborating with fellow tour participants to take videos and exchange them later if possible. By the way, we bought the SD card, but they take photos with a DSLR, so the quality is better than a smartphone. They captured moments like when we splashed into the water very well. There were about 60 photos included.

For those unsure about the height, I recommend the 150 meters! I have a slight fear of heights, but I hardly felt scared. I think the higher you go, the more beautiful the view is. I flew with my iPhone in a waterproof case and took photos from the sky as well. Just keep in mind that if you drop it, they won't retrieve it for you, so bring it at your own risk.

150メートルのプランに参加しました。とにかく高かったですが怖さはなかったです。ただ、揺らされた時は少し怖かったですが、、、（笑）晴れていたので、景色はとても綺麗でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチ沿いを一望できます。上空は意外と寒かったので、水着の上にラッシュガードやTシャツ（濡れてもいいやつ）を着ることをオススメします。船で移動しますが、結構上下左右に揺れるので苦手な方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
他に日本人カップルが2組おり、一緒の船で順番に飛びました。私たちは最後だったのですが、他のカップルと協力して写真・動画を撮り合い、終わった後にAirDropで交換しました！写真なら現地の方が撮ってくれますが、SDカードでデータを貰うのに別途$30かかります。動画はないので、ツアー参加者同士で協力できそうなら撮り合って後で交換するのもおススメです。ちなみに私たちはSDカードも買いましたが、一眼レフで撮ってくれるので画質はスマホより良いです。水ぽちゃした瞬間などしっかり収めてくれていました。計60枚程度入っていました。
高度で迷っている方は150メートルをおすすめします！私は若干高所恐怖症ですが、怖さはほとんど感じませんでした。高い方が景色は断然綺麗だと思います。私は防水ケースに入れたiPhoneをもって飛び、上空からも撮影しました。ただもちろん落としても拾ってくれないので自己責任で持ち込んでください。

Initially, I thought about the VIP course dinner, but choosing this course was definitely the right decision. During the backstage tour, I received enjoyable explanations in simple English that even someone like me, who struggles with English, could understand.

Above all, securing a central front-row seat for the dinner to fully enjoy the show is the best part. If you're lucky, you might get a central front-row seat even with the VIP dinner course, but if you're not, you could end up at the edge of the second (or third) row.

For those on an anniversary trip or looking for a special gift for someone important, I highly recommend choosing this course. Additionally, the level of the dinner was satisfying. The positive reviews on this point were what convinced me to book, and it was the right choice.

　当初はＶＩＰコースディナーでもと思いましたが、こちらのコースにして大正解でした。バックステージツアーでは英語がほとんどダメな私でも理解可能な簡単な英語で楽しく説明を受けました。
　何より、ディナーで中央最前列を確保いただきショーを堪能できるのが最高です。運が良ければＶＩＰディナーのコースでも中央よりの最前列となりますが、運が悪ければ２列目（３列目）の端の方ですものね。
　記念日旅行の方や大切な方へのプレゼントなら、是非こちらのコースを選ばれるとよいと思います。なお、ディナーのレベルも満足できます。この点の高い口コミが申込の決め手でしたが、正解でした。

Kualoa Ranch / 1-Hour Horseback Riding Experience

This tour is extremely popular, and although I originally hoped for a 2-hour tour, we couldn't secure a reservation, so we participated in the 1-hour tour!

Each person is assigned a horse by the staff, and they pair us up. I was really happy to be matched with a beautiful chestnut horse.

The horses are very intelligent and follow the horse in front of them. So, even as a beginner, I felt completely safe!

Amidst the magnificent scenery, the sound of the horses' hooves, the breeze, and the fresh air were truly amazing. Next time, I want to make a reservation early and join the 2-hour course!

クアロア牧場/乗馬体験1時間

とっても大人気のツアーということもあり、本当は2時間のツアーが希望でしたが予約がとれず、私達は1時間のツアーへ参加しました！

一人一人に係の方が馬を選んで下さり、ペア決めをしていきます。私は栗毛がとっても綺麗な馬に当たりとっても嬉しい気持ちになりました。

馬は本当に頭が良く、前の馬に習って後を歩きます。
なので初心者でも全く怖くなかったです！

壮大な景色の中、馬の足音と風と空気も澄んでいて本当に最高でした。次は早めに予約をとって2時間コースに参加したいです。

It was my first experience skydiving. I participated in a tour during a student trip. I was able to have an exhilarating experience in the extraordinary setting of Hawaii, filled with tension and excitement. The instructor was also kind and managed to break the ice with humorous lectures for the nervous participants. I definitely want to experience it again.

スカイダイビング初体験でした。
学生旅行でのツアー参加です。ハワイという非日常的なシチュエーションでの緊迫感、高揚感ある体験をできました。
インストラクターの方も親切で、緊張しているツアー参加者をユーモアあるレクチャーでアイスブレイクもできました。
ぜひまた体験したいです。

I participated with my mother (75 years old). Even seniors and beginners can enjoy a full hour and a half of horseback riding safely and happily. The female guide is very friendly. She also takes photos along the way (with your own smartphone or camera). You can experience walking on the sandy beach and through the "salad bar" (pasture, as the guide metaphorically describes it, since the horses love to eat grass), truly feeling like you're horseback riding in Hawaii! I definitely want to participate again.

母（７５歳）と参加しました。
シニアで初心者でも安心に楽しく１時間半たっぷり乗馬出来ます。
ガイドの女性もとてもフレンドリーです。
途中で写真も撮ってくれます。（自分のスマフォ、又はカメラにです）
砂浜を歩いたり、サラダバー（牧草地、馬が草を食べたがるので。ガイドさんの比喩です）を歩いたりで正にハワイで乗馬してる！！という感じを体験できます。
ぜひ、また参加したいです。

I participated with my 2-year-and-11-month-old son. At first, he was scared, but as he got used to it, he started exploring the inside of the boat and enjoyed sitting and lying down on the net at the front. We also encountered a pod of dolphins multiple times, and there were dolphins that showed off their jumps and spins, which made my son very excited! It was a satisfying cruise, not only because of the beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean from the boat but also for the chance to meet the dolphins.

2歳11ヶ月の息子と二人で参加しました。
息子は最初は怖がっていたけれど、慣れてくると船内を散策し始め、前方のネットの部分にも座ったり寝転んだりして楽しんでいました。
また、イルカの群れに何度も遭遇し、ジャンプや回転ジャンプを見せてくれるイルカもいて、息子も大はしゃぎでした！
船上からのダイヤモンドヘッドや海の美しい眺めだけでなく、イルカにも出会えて大満足のクルーズでした。

It was the perfect day to go sailing. It was raining a lot for the past couple days so I was happy that the weather cleared up when we went. Sunny weather, relaxing Hawaiian music playing while sipping on Maitais. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

For the toilet, it is your standard boat toilet where you have to go down a ladder through a narrow tunnel to get to the toilet. Luckily, I didn't drink too much so I didn't have to use the bathroom during our 90-minute sail.

Overall, I had a great time and would love to go again!

PCC was a lot of fun and had so many different things to do. This was my third time coming to the center. I got there at noon, had their lunch buffet, and visited a few islands before seeing the new canoe show. Huki replaces the canoe pageant and is a lot more elaborate: there's a narration, music, and many more canoes in the water. The show as a whole is a lot more impressive, just make sure you get there early to get good seats in the shade.

After the canoe show we went to a few more villages (Samoa, Fiji, Tonga) before having our fancy prime rib dinner. I preferred the setting of the fine dining option to the luau dinner, as it was quieter and they have ice cream. Crab legs were also a bonus. After dinner, I had an hour or so to spend at the Hukilau Marketplace before the night show, so I browsed around. The night show was great. It put together things from every village presentation along with music, lights, and a longer story that connects all of it. The show is pretty long though, so use the bathroom beforehand (no intermissions).

PCC is a fun way to spend a day in Hawaii and learn a lot about Polynesian culture. Even if you've been there before like me, there's always something new to see or try!

The tour itself was very satisfying.

On the way there, we were picked up at the hotel, but we weren't on the way back... It seemed that other Japanese groups and the foreign group we were with on the bus were called out, but our family was ignored... We felt sad because no one spoke to us. Do we need to report for the return trip...? Since there was nothing we could do, we walked to Ala Moana Center. It was quite a distance, and my feet started to hurt (>_<).

ツアー自体はとても満足でした。

行きは、ホテルまでえお迎えしてもらったのですが帰りはしてもらえず…

行きのバスで 一緒した外人さんグループは、
声を掛けてもらっていたようで、
帰っていったのですがで
私たち 家族は 知らんぷり…
何も声を掛けてもらえず 悲しい思いをしました。帰りは帰りで 申告しないと
いけないんですかね…
しょうがないので、アラモアナセンターまで
徒歩で行きました。
結構
距離あって足が痛くなっちゃいました(>_<)
