Oahu
It was a wonderful tour blessed with great weather! The Japanese staff were wonderful people, and I was glad to learn about many unfamiliar plants!
お天気に恵まれ素晴らしツアーでした!
日本人のスタッフが素敵な人で知らない植物を沢山教えて貰えて良かったです!
If you're going to Hawaii, don't just enjoy the beaches; make sure to experience the local nature too!
ハワイに行くならビーチだけでなく現地の自然に触れてみて➰❗
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the "Nature and You: Manoa" tour.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful weather and were able to fully appreciate Hawaii's nature. We also appreciate your kind words about our Japanese guide. It is truly encouraging to know that you developed an interest in the unique plants and nature of Hawaii.
Meeting customers who not only enjoy the beach but also take notice of the rich local nature brings us great joy as well. We will continue to strive to create tours that allow you to enjoy the beauty of Manoa's nature even more deeply.
We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Hawaii!
アロハ!この度は「ネイチャーアンドユー:マノア」ツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。
当日はお天気にも恵まれ、ハワイの自然を満喫していただけたご様子に、スタッフ一同とても嬉しく思っております。また、日本人ガイドについてのお褒めの言葉もありがとうございます。ハワイ特有の植物や自然について興味を持っていただけたこと、何よりの励みになります。
ビーチだけでなく、現地の豊かな自然にも目を向けていただけるお客様との出会いは、私たちにとっても大きな喜びです。今後もマノアの自然をより深く楽しんでいただけるツアーづくりに努めてまいります。
またハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひお会いできるのを楽しみにしております!
Before the pandemic, I participated in a different experience plan, and this was my second time joining. There were hardly any Japanese participants, and the staff were engaging with the participants, asking where they were from. I was nervous when it was our turn, but even though I could hardly speak any English, I managed to have a conversation. The explanations were all in English, so I couldn't take notes, but I didn't have any difficulties. I was thrilled to encounter a sea turtle. There was one Japanese staff member at the information center, which was helpful. You can take photos at each location before participating and purchase them before leaving. It was $20. Since it's a popular option, I think it's better to make a reservation before departure. I'm glad I participated.
コロナ前に別の体験プランに参加し今回2回目の参加でした。参加者に日本人はほとんどいなくスタッフさんが参加者にどこから来たの?とか順番に話しかけていてドキドキしながら私たちの番になりほとんど英語は話せませんが何とか会話が出来ました。説明は全部英語なので内容は書き取りできませんが不自由はなかったです。ウミガメに出会えて感激しました。案内所に日本人スタッフが一人いるので助かりました。参加前にそれぞれの場所で写真を撮り帰る前に購入できます。20💲でした。人気なオプションなので出発前に予約したほうがいいと思います。参加して良かったです。
You can have a great time even if you can't speak English.
英語が話せなくても十分楽しめます。
You can watch a live performance of Hawaiian dance while the history of Hawaii is displayed on the screen.
In my group, there was someone who really liked Elvis. During the event, there was a moment when Elvis walked around the audience while singing, and he gave me a red scarf. I was very happy about that. The scarves were distributed to several people, so if you want one, make sure to express your interest!
Overall, it was a lot of fun. The announcements were made in both English and Japanese, so even if you're not good at English, you can feel at ease.
スクリーンにハワイの歴史を映しつつ、ハワイアンダンスを生演奏で見ることができます。
私のグループに1人、エルヴィスが好きな人がいました。
途中、エルヴィスが歌いながら客席を回るイベントがあり、彼から赤いマフラーをもらっていました。とても嬉しかったです。
マフラーは何人かに配られていました。欲しい人はアピールをしっかりしてみてください。
全体的にずっと楽しかったです。注意アナウンスは英語と日本語でされるので、英語が苦手でも安心でした。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Show. It was wonderful to hear your friend's stories about Elvis. We are also very pleased to hear that you were overall satisfied. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Hawaii and hope to see you again.
この度はロッカフラ ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビス好きなお友達のお話し大変良かったですね。私共も大変嬉しく思っております。そして、全体的にご満足して頂き光栄に思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I participated with my mother in her 70s, and I think anyone can enjoy it regardless of age! It became the most fun memory during our stay on Oahu. The view from 150 meters up is amazing. For those who are undecided, I highly recommend it :)
I had read reviews and thought we would have to wait for a while after check-in, but perhaps because all four groups of participants arrived quickly, we set sail 15 minutes ahead of schedule and finished an hour before the planned end time, which allowed us to relax afterward.
Photos were available for $40 and could be paid by credit card. There were many pictures, and I was satisfied. It seemed that everyone in our group tipped around $20. Just for your reference... (You can pay with a QR code even if you don't have cash.)
70代の母と参加しましたが、年齢関係なく、誰でも楽しめると思います!
オアフ島滞在中、一番楽しい思い出になりました。
150m上空からの景色は最高です。
迷われている方、ぜひぜひ:)
クチコミを拝見し、チェックイン時間からしばらく待たされるかと思っていましたが、4組の参加者全員揃うのが早かったからか、予定の15分前には出航し、終了予定時刻の1時間前に終わり、その後ゆっくりできたのでよかったです。
写真は40ドルでクレカ決済可でした。枚数も多く、満足しました。
チップは、私たちの回はみなさん20ドル払っていたようです。ご参考までに…。(現金なくてもQRコードで払えます。)
I think motion sickness medication is a must. You can place a small bag or similar items in the shoe storage area at your feet.
酔い止め必須だと思います。
足元の靴置き場に、大きくないバッグ等なら置けます。
I understand that dealing with natural creatures can be unpredictable, but once on board, it felt quite rushed and not very leisurely. The staff's attentiveness was very good.
自然の生き物を相手にしているので仕方ないと思いますが乗船してからがあわただしくゆっくり楽しむ感じではありませんでした。
スタッフの気配りはとても良かったです。
If you get seasick, it's not possible.
船酔いする方は無理です。
Dear t-556, thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with a relaxing and enjoyable experience on the day of the tour. We are committed to improving Dolphin University based on your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding our staff's attentiveness. If you have the opportunity, we would be grateful if you would consider joining us for our other tours as well. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
t-556さま。この度はイルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございます。ツアー当日はゆっくりと楽しんでいただけず、残念な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。頂いたコメントをもとにイルカ大学をより良くしていく所存です。そんな中でもスタッフの気配りに関してコメントしていただき感謝いたします。また機会がございましたら私たちの他のツアーへのご参加も検討していただると幸いです。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
We were supposed to gather 30 minutes earlier, but we ended up waiting in a hot van... The overseas guests were late, and we started just in the nick of time. However, once we actually got to go parasailing, it was such a refreshing experience that I forgot all about that.
30分前集合でしたが、きっちり行くと暑いバンで待たされました、、、。海外の方が遅く、始まるのもギリギリでした。
しかし,実際パラセーリングに乗るとそんなことも忘れるぐらい爽快な体験ができました。
Very good tour. Ran short on time CD and did not get to visit Air Museum on Ford Island. maybe next tine
Although the ground was muddy, they lent me a walking stick, which made navigating the steps安心. I had imagined walking through a thicket, but there were no bugs, and the path was wide, allowing for a leisurely trek while enjoying nature. It didn't rain on the day of my visit, making it easy to walk, but as a result, the waterfall had a lower water volume. On the way there, we moved as a group while receiving explanations, but on the way back, we could descend freely, so I think it's best to take photos without rushing, capturing them when there are fewer people around. After the walk, going to Tantalus Lookout and enjoying a sandwich while overlooking the town was exceptionally delicious. There was plenty of free time, making it a luxurious experience.
足元はぬかるんでいるもののステッキを貸してくださるので段差も安心でした。藪の中を歩くイメージでしたが、虫もおらず道幅も広くのんびり自然を眺めながらのトレッキングです。当日は雨は降らず歩きやすかったのですが、その分滝の水量は少な目でした。行きは説明を受けながら集団で動きますが帰りは自由に降りるので、写真は焦らず、人が少なくなったところで撮影されるといいと思います。散歩後にタンタラスの丘へ行き、町を見下ろしながら食べるサンドイッチは格別なおいしさ。自由時間もたっぷりで、贅沢な時間でした。
It's reassuring to have a raincoat with a hood, but since we'll stop by the tour company, you can purchase a poncho. They lent us insect repellent spray. There are few chairs at Tantalus Lookout, so h
フード付きの雨具があると安心ですがツアー会社に立ち寄るのでポンチョを購入することができます。虫よけスプレーは貸してくれました。タンタラスの丘は椅子が少ないのでレジャーシートがあるといいです。
Aloha, thank you very much for participating in "Nature and You: Manoa." We also appreciate your kind and warm review.
We are glad to hear that the availability of sticks made you feel secure regarding the muddy ground and steps, and that you were able to comfortably enjoy nature, unlike trekking through the bushes. The water volume of the waterfall varies depending on natural conditions, but we hope you can enjoy that as part of nature as well.
The advice on descending at your own pace and tips for taking photos is also very helpful. It brings us joy to know that you were able to spend a leisurely time like you did.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sandwich time at Tantalus. It’s clear that you had a relaxed and luxurious time, including your free time.
Thank you also for your valuable suggestions regarding food-equipped rain gear, insect repellent spray, and leisure sheets. We will use this information as important advice for future participants.
Our staff will continue to strive to ensure you can fully enjoy Hawaii's nature and culture, and we sincerely look forward to your next participation.
アロハ、この度は「ネイチャーアンドユー:マノア」にご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。また、丁寧で温かいレビューをお寄せいただき感謝いたします。
足元のぬかるみや段差に対して、ステッキの貸し出しで安心していただけたこと、また藪の中のトレッキングとは違い快適に自然を満喫していただけたご様子に安心いたしました。滝の水量は自然の状態によるため、時期によって変わりますが、それもまた自然の一部としてお楽しみいただければ幸いです。
帰りの自由なペースでの下山や、写真撮影のコツについてのアドバイスもとても参考になります。お客様のようにのんびりとした時間を過ごしていただけることが、私たちの喜びです。
タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチタイムもご満足いただけたとのこと、とても嬉しいです。自由時間を含めてゆったりとした贅沢なひとときをお楽しみいただけたことが伝わってきます。
また、フード付きの雨具や虫よけスプレー、レジャーシートに関する貴重なご提案もありがとうございます。これらの情報は今後ご参加されるお客様への重要なアドバイスとして活用させていただきます。
今後もハワイの自然と文化を存分に楽しんでいただけるよう、スタッフ一同努めてまいりますので、またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。
I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!
Do this trip on your first day here.
Everything from the reception to the announcements on the boat is in English. For those who are not good at English, the only way to understand is by watching the movements, but I don't think there is anything particularly difficult as long as you wear your life jacket properly. However, since it's a self-inflating type, I found it quite tiring to swim as the waves pushed me off balance. I saw two sea turtles, but they weren't slow enough to take pictures, so it's better to think of it as just being able to see them. I was worried about not mixing up my boat since we swam with people from other tours. It seems they separate groups by the color of the life jackets, so it's reassuring to stay close to those wearing the same color. Overall, being in the water can be quite exhausting. Perhaps because of that fatigue, I got seasick on the way back and couldn't see any of the scenery, which was disappointing for the cruising time.
受付から船上でのアナウンスまですべて英語。英語が苦手な人は動きを見て理解するしかないですが、特に難しいことはなくライフジャケットをしっかりつけていれば問題ないと思いますが、自分で膨らませる簡易タイプなので波に押されバランスが悪く泳いでいて結構疲れました。ウミガメは2匹見られましたが、写真に撮れるほどゆっくりではなく見られればOKくらいに思っていたほうがいいです。他のツアーの人と一緒に泳ぐため、自分の船を間違えないか心配でした。ライフジャケットの色で分けているようなので、同じ色の人たちと離れないようにすると安心です。とにかくひたすら海の中なので結構体力を消耗します。その疲れもあってか、帰りは船酔いで景色を一切見られず、せっかくのクルージングの時間が残念でした。
The waves were a bit strong, and I felt a little seasick while snorkeling. I recommend taking motion sickness medication for the return boat ride, as it can be quite rocky. It gets pretty chilly on th
波が強めでシュノーケル中も少し酔った状態になりました。帰りの船は結構揺れるので酔い止を飲むことをお勧めします。船の上は結構冷えるので、バスタオルと羽織るものは必須です。
You can enjoy breathtaking views for a full two hours, feeling like you're on an attraction. Hawaii offers not just the ocean, but also mountains to explore. I highly recommend experiencing it!
2時間たっぷりアトラクションのような感覚で絶景が楽しめます。
ハワイは海だけじゃない、山も楽しめます。
ぜひ体験をおすすめします!

I was able to eat whatever I wanted and see various things in Haleiwa, and the mini tour helped me get to places that are difficult to reach on my own. At first, I was unsure about the mini tour, but since it was just the two of us participating, it ended up feeling like a private tour, which was great.
ハレイワは好きなようにあれを食べたりこれを見たりとできましたし、ミニツアーは自力では行き難い場所に連れていってもらえて助かりました。
最初はミニツアーはどうしようかと思っていたけど私たちだけが参加で、結果プライベートツアーのようで良かったです。
The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I had a great time seeing many fish. Above all, encountering a sea turtle was moving. I definitely want to enjoy snorkeling 🤿 and meeting the honu again on my next trip to Hawaii.
海がとっても綺麗で、魚もたくさん見る事もでき楽しかったです。
何よりも、ウミガメとの遭遇は感動しました。
是非、次回のハワイ旅行でもシュノーケリング🤿&ホヌとの出会いを楽しみたいと思っています。
It might be a little cold if there's wind. It could be good to have a bath towel for warmth in addition to a towel to dry off your body.
風があると、少し寒いかもしれません。体を拭くタオルとは別に、防寒用のバスタオルがあるといいかもしれません。
It felt like the boat was intentionally swaying more than necessary while in motion. Perhaps due to the wind, it rocked quite a bit up and down, making me feel very nauseous in the second half, which was tough. I think those who are worried about seasickness should take precautions. The sea was beautiful, but I didn't see any dolphins.
必要以上にわざと?揺らして走行していたように感じます。
風の影響もあるのか、かなり上下に揺れたため、後半とても気持ち悪くなり
しんどかったです。
船酔いが心配な方は対策されたほうがいいと思います。
海はきれいでしたが、イルカは見れませんでした。
I arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, but there was one foreigner standing at the reception area, so I thought he was part of the fishing boat crew, only to find out he was a tour guest... As the meeting time approached, other guests started to gather, but the crucial fishing boat did not arrive. It finally showed up about 10 minutes after the meeting time...
There were a total of 4 groups (11 people) in the tour, and 2 of them were children. By the way, we were the only Japanese couple, and we couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, but we managed with some words and a translation app.
I wasn't looking at the clock, but the travel time might not have been more than an hour one way... I felt like we had more time for fishing because of that. The waves were high that day, and the boat rocked quite a bit... I took motion sickness medication just in case, so I was fine, but it could have been bad if I hadn't... The two kids who came with us both got sick, and their dad was resting indoors.
We caught a total of 4 fish (it seems like the other guests caught about the same), but the fish were around 20 centimeters and all had to be released, so we couldn't eat them on the boat... It seemed like they were trolling while moving to the fishing spot, but I wonder if everyone would get to enjoy the catch if a big one was caught? Since we couldn't eat the fish on the boat and couldn't communicate in Japanese at all, I rated it 4 stars.
集合時間の15分前に着いたのですが、受付場所に1人の外国人が立ってたので釣り船の人だと思ったらツアー客だった…
集合時間が近づくにつれて他のお客さんも集まってきましたが、肝心な釣り船の方が来ません。

一緒に行った子供達は2人ともダウンして、お父さんも室内で休んでました。

釣り場に移動する際にトローリングもしてたみたいですが、大物が釣れればみんなに振る舞うのかな?
釣った魚が船上で食べられなかったのと日本語が全く通じないのがイマイチだったので評価は☆4つにしました。
I don't understand Japanese at all.

Everything was great with not problems at all. It was easy to purchase online and have the tickets on my phone.
I went to Hawaii on a reward trip from my company!
There was a pickup service to the hotel, and there were Japanese-speaking staff, plus some staff members brought their families along.
The lunch was delicious, and everyone was so kind, sharing a lot about Hawaii!
About 300 rare dolphins gathered around our boat, which is something that hardly ever happens, and we were all super excited!
I will definitely bring my friends with me the next time I go to Hawaii!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! *\(^o^)/*
会社からのご褒美旅行でハワイへ♪
ホテルまでお迎えがあり、日本語スタッフもいてさらにはスタッフの家族もご参加されていた回でした(^○^)
ランチも美味しくスタッフもみんな親切でハワイの事たくさん教えてくれました♪
珍しいイルカが船の周りに300頭程集まってこんな事滅多にないって言われて皆でテンション上がりまくり!!
ぜひまたハワイ行く時は必ず仲間を連れていきます!!!ありがとう!!!
thank you so much!!!*\(^o^)/*
There was a warm water shower. I brought a change of clothes, and although it was a bit cramped, I was able to quickly change in the restroom, so it was comfortable. The lunch was also very delicious!
暖かい温水シャワーついてました。
着替え持っていって少し狭いですがトイレでささっと着替えができたので、快適でした☆
ランチもとても美味しかった♪
Aloha! YUKA. Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University. I am Ken, your guide on the day of the tour. On the day of the tour, over 300 rare false killer whales came to play around the boat!! And for a long time... It was my first time seeing so many false killer whales, so I was very excited!! Thank you for using the heated shower that we carefully equipped on the Poseidon. I'm glad you enjoyed the lunch as well. Please feel free to invite your friends to join us again. We are looking forward to welcoming you back, YUKA. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! YUKAさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー当日ガイドをさせて頂いたKenです。ツアー当日は珍しいカズハゴンドウが300頭以上も船の周りに遊びに来てくれましたね!!しかも長い時間。。。私自身、こんなにたくさんのカズハゴンドウを見たのは初めてでしたので、とても興奮してしまいました!! ポセイドン号でこだわって装備した温水シャワーをお使いいただきありがとうございました。ランチも喜んでいただき嬉しく思います。ぜひまたご友人をお誘いご参加くださいね。YUKAさまを心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
They provided polite assistance regarding the hotel shuttle and how to ride a Segway. The staff member in charge was a Japanese person raised in Hawaii, so there was no language barrier, which made it easy to enjoy. My wife was able to ride right away, and the hour and a half went by in no time. It was truly fun! If I have the chance, I would like to ride a Segway again next time.
ホテルの送迎やセグウェイの乗り方について丁寧に対応して頂きました。担当のお兄さんはハワイ育ちの日本人、言葉の壁がなく安心して楽しめました。家内も直ぐに乗れるようになって1時間半はあっ言うまでした。 実に面白い!
チャンスがあれば次回もセグウェイに乗ってみたいです。
Tip generously!
チップは多めに!
The only tour I booked on my solo trip and got the most out of the water related activities in the span of less than a day. Totally worth it to book and also get lunch included with the tour. Learned so much about respecting the reef, team focused sandbar volleyball and the joy of watching the turtles swimming.
If you love heights and roller coasters but feel a bit scared, you absolutely have to try this! When you're going down, you can't see below, so it's not scary at all. There are moments when the wind pressure is strong and you might go "whoa," but it's just for an instant! You can enjoy beautiful scenery slowly, and occasionally experience a roller coaster-like rush! If you choose a plan that includes videos and photos, you can enjoy it yourself and share it easily with others. Japanese is hardly understood, so if you can't speak it at all, a translation app is essential!
高所やジェットコースター等が好きな人でちょっと怖い、、って思ってる方
絶対経験した方がいいです! 降りる時は下が見えないし怖くないですよ〜
風圧が強いのでうぅ"ってなる時間もありますが一瞬です!
綺麗な景色をゆっくり、たまーにジェットコースターみたいなビューーンを体験できます!
動画や写真も撮って貰えるプランだと自分も見て楽しめるし布教もしやすいですよ。

It's much more expensive than I expected. First of all, the breathtaking view was something I've never experienced before. With the strong yen, I thought the price for just five minutes was high, but five minutes is enough. The sea breeze on the way to and from the island feels great. My whole family was very satisfied. The staff speaks English and is cheerful and friendly. It's just a short walk from the lagoon at Hilton Hawaiian Village. It's very convenient if you're staying at the Hilton.
思ってたより、かなりかなり高いです。まず経験する事のないびっくりするぐらいの絶景でした。円高もあり5分の時間でこの料金は高いなと思いましたが、5分ぐらいで充分です。沖への行き帰りも潮風が気持ち良いです。家族皆んな大満足でした。スタッフは英語ですが陽気でフレンドリーです。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのラグーンから歩いてすぐです。ヒルトンに宿泊ならとても便利です。
If you are prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is essential. When you go up, it's better to look at distant views like Diamond Head, the cityscape, and the horizon rather than

During my trip to Hawaii, I boldly tried parasailing. At first, I was nervous, but the exhilarating moment of being lifted into the sky from the boat is unforgettable! The expansive blue of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head left me speechless, like a postcard-perfect view. Even someone as timid as I am was able to enjoy it comfortably, thanks to the staff's thorough explanations and support. This is definitely an activity I want to do again when I go to Hawaii!
ハワイ旅行中に思い切ってチャレンジしたパラセーリング。
最初はドキドキでしたが、ボートからふわっと空へ上がる瞬間の爽快感は忘れられません!
青く広がるワイキキビーチとダイアモンドヘッド。まるで絵はがきのような景色に言葉を失いました。
怖がりな私でも安心して楽しめたのは、スタッフさんの丁寧な説明とサポートがあったからこそ。
ハワイに行ったら、絶対にまたやりたいアクティビティです!
I wanted to go horseback riding in Hawaii, so I signed up for this 2-hour horseback riding course. Actually, I used to attend a riding club over 10 years ago, but I quit because I was scared of galloping. This time, since I was just walking slowly on horseback in the great outdoors, I felt completely at ease and thoroughly enjoyed riding again after a long time. It had been several years since I last rode a horse (I rode a few years ago in Hokkaido), so it took me a little time to regain my sense of balance at first, but after a while, I remembered the feeling and was able to enjoy the scenery. Just before we mounted the horses, there was a heavy downpour, and I was wondering what would happen, but fortunately, we didn't get rained on at all during the ride. It was also pleasantly cool, not too hot, and a bit cloudy, which made for perfect riding weather.
ハワイで乗馬したいと思い、こちらを申し込みました。2時間の乗馬コースです。実は、10年以上前まで乗馬クラブに通っていたのですが、駆け足がこわまなって辞めてしまった経験があります。今回は、馬に乗って大自然の中をゆっくり歩くだけなので、まったく怖くなく、久しぶりの乗馬を堪能できました。そもそも馬に乗るのが数年ぶり(北海道で何年か前にのっこたとがある)でしたので、最初はちょっと感覚を取り戻すのに時間がかかりましたが、途中から感覚を思い出し、それからは景色を堪能できました。乗る少し前に激しいスコールがあり、どうなるかと思いましたが、運よく乗馬中は、まったく雨に降られることなく、かといって暑すぎずに曇り気味だったので涼しくてちょうどよかったです。
It's fine even for beginners since you'll just be walking on the horse. However, you watch a short video of about one minute and then get on the horse right away, so having some riding experience migh
初心者でも馬に乗って歩くだけなので大丈夫です。ただ、1分程度の短いビデオを見てすぐに馬に乗るので、少しは乗馬の経験があったほうが安心かもしれません。
It was the perfect experience to understand scuba diving. Reda was a patient, knowledgeable and fun instructor. The group caught on quickly and then got to scuba in the lagoon and see coral, fish and sea life. Highly recommend this tour.
My son and I learned so much about the polynesian people and their culture and pride in their ancestry and the spokes person for each island was both funny and informative. I would definitely do this again and the life of breath show was amazing, sat on the front row and a few performers shook our hands after the show!
I reserved a seat in the middle, not in the front row, about seven days ago. An elderly couple from California sat next to me, and we talked about Japan, the culture of Hawaii, and the connection of Okinawan immigrants. The show started with a guitar solo, and at one point, audience members participated in playing the theme song of Five O Hawaii, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Overall, the timing was appropriate, and it was a family-friendly show that also considered Hawaii's history, making it enjoyable even for those who don't understand English. I'm glad I could see such a valuable show on Kalakaua Avenue.
最前列でなく、真ん中の席を7日ほど前に予約していました。隣にカリフォルニアから来られていた老夫婦が座られ、奥様と日本の事、ハワイの文化に沖縄の移民が関係していることなどお話ししました。ショーはギターソロに始まり、途中は客席からもお客さんが参加しFive O Hawaiiのテーマ曲演奏ととてもエキサイティングで和やかなものでした。全体としては時間も適切で、ハワイの歴史も意識したファミリー向けのショーであり、英語がわからない方にも楽しめるものでした。カラカウア通りでこのような価値あるショーが観れてよかったです。
Many Japanese people also participate. If you make a reservation, you won't have to worry about seating.
日本人もたくさん参加してください。予約しておくと席の心配がありません。
I went to see it on the first day of my arrival. I was in the second row, but since the venue isn't that large, I think you can enjoy it just as much from the back seats. The performance unfolds in eight chapters inspired by stories from Hawaii, and there are also interactive elements that involve the audience, which made me very satisfied.
到着初日に観に行きました。
2列目の席でしたが、会場がそれ程大きくない為、後方の席でも十分楽しめると思います。ハワイの物語にインスパイアされた8つの章が展開され、ユーザー参加型のパフォーマンスもあり大満足です。
Due to the strong air conditioning at the venue, it is recommended to bring a jacket.
会場の冷房が強めの為、上着の持参をお勧めします。
Cirque du Soleil has various shows, but the one in Hawaii was a wonderful stage that incorporated Hawaiian dances. There was laughter, and I laughed so much that I felt like my stomach was going to burst. It was also great to be so close to the stage.
シルク・ド・ソレイユは色々ありますが、ハワイでハワイの踊りなどを取り入れたとても素敵なステージでした。
笑いもあり、笑い過ぎてお腹が千切れそうでした。
ステージまでも近くて、とても良かったです。
Since it's cold inside, I think it would be good to have something like a cardigan to throw on.
中が寒いので、カーディガンなど上に羽織るものがあると良いと思います。
At first, I honestly thought, "Is this going to be an old-fashioned show?" and didn't have high expectations. However, once I participated, I was completely surprised in a good way. This was not just a tourist event; it was a special experience filled with the essence of Hawaii—the air, warmth, and kindness of the people.
I attended the "VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show." It starts with a buffet-style dinner. Each table is set with plates, and you serve yourself. The beautifully roasted pork and roast beef are cut carefully by the chef right in front of you, creating a lively atmosphere! There’s also a wide variety of fresh salads, yakisoba, grilled chicken, and more, which made my plate overflow.
Before the meal, we were served a welcome Mai Tai. It had a tropical aroma that perfectly matched the Hawaiian atmosphere. With a Mai Tai in hand, a naturally smiling time began.
Amidst this, a local woman appeared with a ukulele. She had the vibe of a lovely neighbor rather than a staff member, and she went around to each table, delivering gentle and warm live performances. Even though it was a short time, being enveloped by her singing and the atmosphere felt like my heart was melting away.
During the meal, hula dancers performed authentic hula right in front of us. Their vibrant yet graceful movements felt like the very essence of the Hawaiian breeze. The dancers were so close that it felt easy to take photos. Additionally, the "Hula Dance Experience Time" started, allowing anyone to join in casually. Invited by the dancers, both children and adults naturally joined the circle, laughing as they experienced the hula steps. The entire venue was wrapped in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Afterward, we walked about 30 seconds from the dining area to the main show venue. This is where "Rock-a-Hula" truly begins. On stage, impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson appeared! Their singing and dancing were astonishingly high-quality, creating an impression of "living entertainment" that went beyond mere impersonation. Enjoying classic hits from legendary stars with the latest lighting and a powerful live band is truly a unique charm of this show.
Above all, what came through from the performers and staff was their genuine desire for the guests to have a great time. Their thoughtful attention and warm responses were felt in every moment, and before I knew it, my initial impression of "this might be old-fashioned" had completely vanished.
Rock-a-Hula is an experience that transforms a Hawaiian night into a special memory. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been yet; it was a time filled with smiles and happiness.
はじめは正直、「昔ながらのショーかな?」とあまり期待していなかったんです。でも実際に参加してみると、それは完全にいい意味で裏切られました。これは、ただの観光イベントではなく、ハワイの空気や温かさ、人の優しさまでもがぎゅっと詰まった、とっておきの体験でした。
参加したのは「VIPワイキキルアウビュッフェ&ショー」。まずはビュッフェスタイルのディナーから始まります。各テーブルにはお皿が用意されていて、自分で料理を取りに行くスタイル。豪快にローストされた豚やローストビーフは、シェフが目の前で一枚ずつ丁寧にカットしてくれて、ライブ感満点! さらにフレッシュなサラダや焼きそば、グリルチキンなど種類も豊富で、思わずプレートが山盛りになってしまいました。
食事の前には、ウェルカムマイタイが一杯ついてきます。これがまたトロピカルな香りで、ハワイの空気にぴったり。マイタイを片手に、自然と笑顔になるような時間が始まります。
そんな中、ふと現れたのがウクレレを抱えたローカルの女性。スタッフというより、まるでご近所の素敵なおばあちゃんといった雰囲気の彼女が、各テーブルをまわりながら、優しくあたたかい音色で生演奏を届けてくれます。短い時間ながら、その歌声と空気に包まれて、心がふわっと解けていくようなひとときでした。
そして、食事中には目の前でフラダンサーたちが本場のフラを披露。華やかでありながらも優美な動きは、まるでハワイの風そのもの。ダンサーとの距離がとても近くて、写真を撮るのも遠慮なくできる雰囲気。さらにその場で始まる「フラダンス体験タイム」は、誰でも気軽に参加できます。ダンサーに誘われて、子どもも大人も自然と輪に加わり、笑いながらフラのステップを体験。会場全体がほんわかとあたたかい空気に包まれました。
その後、食事会場から30秒ほど歩いて本格的なショー会場へ。ここからが「ロック・ア・フラ」の本番です。ステージには、あのエルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんたちが登場! 歌もダンスも驚くほどの完成度で、ただのモノマネを超えた“生きたエンターテインメント”という印象。往年のスターの名曲を、最新の照明と迫力の生バンドで楽しめるのは、まさにこのショーならではの魅力です。
そして何より、演者やスタッフから伝わってくるのは「お客さんに心から楽しんでもらいたい」という思い。細やかな気配りやあたたかい対応が、すべての瞬間に感じられて、気づけば最初の「古いかも?」という印象はどこかへ吹き飛んでいました。
ロック・ア・フラは、ハワイの夜を特別な思い出に変えてくれる体験です。まだ行ったことのない人にはぜひおすすめしたい、笑顔と幸福感あふれる時間でした。
The venue is well air-conditioned, so it can feel a bit cold at times, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket. Other than that, just have a great time!!
会場内は冷房がしっかり効いていて少し寒く感じることもあるので、羽織り物を持参されると安心です。あとは思いきり楽しんでください!!
