Oahu
I was looking forward to visiting Manoa Falls, but I couldn't go due to road closures. Instead, I went to the Lion Arboretum, which was a worthwhile place to visit. It was full of negative ions, and the occasional passing rain shower felt refreshing. Hawaii has great beaches, but hiking in the mountains is also wonderful!
Thank you, Toshi, Yuji, and John, for your help!!
楽しみにしていたマノア滝は道路封鎖のため行けなかったのですが、代替で行くことになったライオン植物園は見応えのある場所でした。
マイナスイオンたっぷりなのはもちろん、時々通り過ぎるスコールもむしろ気持ちいい。
ハワイは海もいいけど山歩きもいい！
お世話になったトシさんユウジさんジョンさんありがとう！！

The tour was conducted with two boats, one of which gathered Japanese participants and provided guidance in Japanese. The guide was a Japanese person who was always smiling and very attentive.
When we arrived at the sandbar, we spotted two sea turtles, and several more came by afterward.
Next, we moved to the snorkeling point, where we were able to see about five sea turtles from the boat.
The snorkeling point didn't have strong waves, so if you can swim reasonably well, I recommend trying it without a life jacket!
The deeper areas had more fish and were beautiful! Additionally, I was able to find a sea turtle resting in the coral, and I managed to take an amazing photo! I had to dive about 4 meters, which was quite challenging, but it became my best memory in Hawaii.
I want to go again!
2隻の船でツアーを行い、1隻に日本人を集めて日本語でガイドを行ってくれました。
ガイドをしてくれたのは日本人の方で終始笑顔で丁寧な対応をしてくれました。
サンドバーに着いた時にもウミガメが目視で2匹確認できて、その後もサンドバーに何匹か来ていました。
その後はシュノーケリングポイントに移動するのですが、船から5匹くらいのウミガメを見つけられました。
シュノーケリングポイントは波もそこまで強くないので、泳ぎがある程度できる人はライフジャケット無しでチャレンジしてみてください！
深いところの方が魚も多くて綺麗でした！
また、サンゴの隙間で休んでいるウミガメを見つけられて最高の一枚を撮ることができました！
4mくらい潜らなければならなかったので、結構大変でしたがハワイで1番の思い出になりました。
また行きたいです！

Entertaining evening enjoyed by whole family. Plus bonus swim in waterfall during the day. Hard to beat.
Aloha Tim, and mahalo nui for your review. I'm glad that you had the chance to swim in the falls too. We hope to see you again when you come back to visit the island!
We couldn't ask for a better way to spend our last day in Oahu.
This tour was so relaxing and fun. Everyone was so friendly including staff and other participants.
The Sand bar was so exciting, and the turtles were cute. and snorkelling amazing.
Everything is well organised.
One advice to people who go on this tour -
Go to the bathroom before boarding the ship,
since the bathrooms are not that convenient.
but they are there if you need them :-)
It was a shame that the weather wasn't clear on the day, but I had a wonderful time with a cheerful guide! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate when the weather is clear and the tide is low. Thank you!☆
当日は快晴でなかったのが残念でしたが、愉快なガイドさんとともに楽しいひとときを過ごさせてもらいました！
またハワイに行く機会があったときは、快晴＆潮が引いてるときを狙って参加したいです。
ありがとうございました☆

It was amazing.
It was my first experience, and I was continuously moved.
The beautiful sea, the cute sea turtles, and the fun staff.
The snorkeling had clear explanations and safety considerations, which made me feel very secure.
I don't get to go to Hawaii often, but this is one activity I want to experience again next time.
Thank you very much.
最高でした。
初めての体験でしたが、感動の連続でした。
綺麗な海、可愛いウミガメ、楽しいスタッフ
シュノーケルも分かりやすい説明と安全面の配慮がとても安心でした。
なかなかハワイ行けないけど、次回も体験したいアクティビティのひとつです。
ありがとうございました。

Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.
Although the visibility of the sea wasn't great due to the rain the day before, the emerald green and cobalt blue waters sparkling in the sunlight were truly beautiful. We encountered many sea turtles, and my husband even had moments where he swam close enough to them while being careful not to touch! Our guide, Yukiko, was also impressive just to watch, and she is a big reason why I want to join this tour again and meet her!
前日雨だったため海の透明度はいまいちとのことでしたが、きらきら太陽の光が輝くエメラルドグリーン、コバルトブルーの海は本当にきれいでした♡
ウミガメにもたくさん会え、主人はシュノーケリングスポットで触れちゃわないように気をつけるくらい近くで一緒に泳げる瞬間も！
ガイドのユキコさんも見ているだけでかっこ気持ちよく、またこのツアーに参加して会いに行きたい！と思う大きな一因です。

The day of participation was unfortunately marked by cloudy skies and intermittent rain, but when the sun peeked through for a moment, it was absolutely beautiful! We played beach volleyball, and even though we couldn't communicate with people from other countries, it felt like we connected through sports, making it a really enjoyable time! The hamburger we had for lunch was also incredibly delicious! We were able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling! I think it would be stunning on a sunny day, so I would love to participate again!
参加日はあいにくの曇りとパラパラ雨の繰り返しでしたが、一瞬晴れ間がさすと最高にきれいでした！
ビーチバレーをやりましたが他国の方たちと言葉は通じませんが、スポーツで気持ちが繋がった感じがしてとっても楽しい時間でした！
お昼に食べたハンバーガーもすごくおいしかったです！
シュノーケリングもお魚がたくさん見れました！
晴れたら最高にきれいだと思うのでまた参加したいです！

I took my daughter and her family to this Luau and I am so glad we bought the Royal package. It was great. We were right in front and the dancing was great and the Fire dancing was fantastic. I also liked the fact the they involved you in different activities. Food was great also. I liked the fact they will stay and take pictures with you at the end with your own camera. Overall I would definitely recommend this Luau to everyone.
Departure around 7 o'clock and return around 3 o'clock. The tour itself takes about an hour, with one session in the morning and one in the afternoon. There was a lot of waiting time, and it wasn't that impressive. Well, I thought it wouldn't hurt to go at least once!
7時前後出発から戻りが3時頃 中身のツアーは所要時間が1時間前後で午前と午後に1回づつ
待ち時間が多いしあまり大したことなかった。
まあ、一度は行っても損はないかな！と思いました。

The staff were very kind, and I had a bright and enjoyable time.
I was able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and fish.
Thank you very much.
I think Japanese people will be satisfied.

The luau itself was amazing. My family and I enjoyed participating in the pre show activities while learning about true polynesian culture and traditions. It's a smaller luau with only about 200 guests but with the smaller number of patrons you really get to interact and learn from everyone involved.
The host for the activities, Uncle Bob, has a great sense of humor as do the men that do the "cooking" and food prep demonstrations. These men are no joke, they even climbed up the coconut trees. They teach you about a traditional tribe welcoming and uses the guests to act as the tribes while explaining the rituals associated with welcoming guests to their community.
Not a huge selection of foods to sample but everything there was delicious. Kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, green salad with macadamia nuts, rice, rolls, chantilly cake from Teds Bakery and a coconut type of jello dessert.
The family band that played music during dinner was Amazing. Those kids can really sing! The dancing was very traditional, not just girls in coconut bras and hula skirts, but real polynesian dancing showcasing dances from a variety of the polynesian islands. I was a VIP guest and we were right at eye level with the stage but it looked like most people would have quite a good view of the stage. We also got to go to the buffet first and got great souvenirs. My husband and I got hand fans, my son got a wooden Maui-type hook necklace and my daughter got a wood beaded bracelet that said Hawaii with hibiscus flowers printed on it. After dinner and show on your way out you were able to speak more with the staff and dancers and take pictures with them.
If it was your birthday we all sang happy birthday and you got an extra piece of cake, if it was your anniversary or honeymoon they brought you onstage for a slow dance and gave you a nut lei.
All this plus you get entry into the Waimea valley where you can swim in a waterfall and see beautiful trees and foliage!
Aloha, and mahalo mui for your review. We are review. We are pleased to know that you had the best time at the luau. It is with delight that we read your review of your luau, which we have planned to be an Interactive one. I by the way also hope the band played and sang Blue Bayou. That song, sang by an of the kids is a real tear jerker.
The staff were very kind. They proactively offered guidance for snorkeling and took photos at the sandbar. The BBQ hamburger for lunch was incredibly delicious. Thank you for a wonderful time.
スタッフのみなさんが親切でした。シュノーケルの指導、サンドバーでの写真撮影など進んで声をかけてくれました。昼食のBBQハンバーガー最高に美味しかったです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

The climate is refreshing, so it's not as humid as a beer garden in Japan. The show was enjoyable, and the food was delicious.
However, the venue might be a bit hard to find...
気候が爽やかなので、日本のビヤガーデンみたいに蒸し暑くありません。
ショーも楽しく、料理も美味しかったです。
が、会場が少しわかりづらいかな…

The dinner was delicious and the portion size was just right for us. The show was diverse and we enjoyed the Hawaiian atmosphere. Additionally, sitting at a table by the stage was impressive, and it was great to interact with the members of the show.
ディナーは美味しくボリュームも我々にはちょうど良かった。
ショーもバラエティに富み、ハワイの雰囲気も味わえてよかった。また、ステージサイドのテーブルで迫力があり、ショーのメンバとふれあいもありよかった。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.

During our first trip to Hawaii, we decided to sign up for a Hawaiian show. We went in early June, and since it was in the evening, the sun was still shining when we were shown to our seats, which were directly in the sunlight. There was nothing to block the sun, so the seats that weren't in the shade (the ones directly in front of the stage) were extremely hot until the sun went down. Fortunately, we were seated in a shaded area, which was a relief.
The meal was a buffet, and since many people were going to get food, I was a bit worried about whether there would be enough left. However, it turned out fine. (There was a system in place where the area for getting food was determined, and you couldn't go up to get food unless you were called by the staff.)
We enjoyed the event even from our seats that weren't directly in front, and the dancing was wonderful. The male hula dancers were incredibly impressive and surprised us.
On the way back, we were able to take photos with the dancers in the lobby, which made for a great memory for us, as we had never seen authentic hula before.
初めてのハワイで、ハワイアンショーを見てみたいと思い申し込みました。
行ったのは6月上旬、夕方からなのでまだ陽も落ちてなくて座席に通される時間帯は日差し直撃。
特にさえぎる物もないため、陰になっていない席（ステージ正面席）は陽が落ちるまでは暑さ地獄。幸運にも横っちょの陰の席だったので助かりました。
食事はビュッフェで、かなりの人が取りにいくので「残っているのかなぁ～」と少々不安ではありましたが、大丈夫でした。（ビュッフェを取りにいくエリア順が決まったいました。ボーイさんからそのエリアへ声がかからないと勝手に取りにいってはいけない仕組みでした）
イベント自体は正面席でなくても十分に楽しめましたし、踊りも素晴らしかったです。男性フラが迫力満点で驚きました。
帰りには、ロビーで踊り子さんたちと写真が撮れましたし、
一度も本場のフラを見たことない私たちにとってはとても良い思い出になりました。

The sunset was gorgeous and service very good. Food was fine, entertainment ok.
We were picked up from the hotel and after a short drive, we boarded the cruiser at the port and headed to the sandbar. There was a lovely Japanese woman among the staff, which made me feel completely at ease. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The tide wasn't too low, and the water was up to my waist, so it didn't quite feel like a sandbar, but the stunning scenery more than made up for it! We saw several sea turtles floating around. While enjoying delicious hamburgers for lunch, we moved to a different spot where we could leisurely snorkel and see beautiful fish living around the large coral reef. It was truly an enjoyable tour. I recommended it to acquaintances going to Hawaii!
ホテルからピックアップ、少し車で走った港からクルーザーへ乗り込んでまずはサンドバーへ。スタッフにとても素敵な日本人の女性がいたので何の不安もありませんでした。スタッフはみんな フレンドリーで気遣いも細やか、潮の状態はそこまで引いてなくて 腰あたりまで海水がありサンドバー？？って感じではありましたが それを上回る程の景色のすばらしさ！！
ぷかぷか浮いているウミガメも何匹も見られました。美味しいハンバーガーのランチをほおばりながら、場所を移動して大きなサンゴ礁の周りに住む綺麗な魚たちをシュノーケリングでゆっくり見ることもでき本当に楽しいツアーでした。ハワイに行く知人に お勧めしました！！

It rained during the day, so we were indoors after it got dark. The location is a bit hard to find, so it’s better to arrive early. I reserved a golden seat, but it was positioned too far to the side from the stage, and the angle was blocked by equipment like speakers, which was a bit disappointing. It was a buffet style, but if you miss the timing, there can be a long line, and some items run out quickly. I read in other reviews that golden seat guests had priority, but it seemed like regular ticket holders were the first to grab food, and we followed after them. The taste was generally good.
夜にはやみましたが日中雨が降ってたからなのか室内でした。場所は少しわかりにくいため、はやめに行った方がよさそうです。ゴールデンシートを予約しましたが、ステージからサイドすぎてスピーカー等の機材で遮られてる角度で少し残念でした。バイキング形式ですが、とるタイミングを見失うとすごい行列で無くなってしまうものもありました。他のかたの口コミでゴールデンシート優先とありましたが、普通に一般席の人がいの一番にとっており、それの後に続いた感じでした。味は普通に美味しかったです。

What a great cultural experience. Ideal for all ages & families! A big day, but a great day learning about pacific cultures :)
I enjoyed a calm tour with no waves. In the morning, I fully enjoyed kayaking, had a big pizza, and in the afternoon, I rented a bicycle and headed to a beach where I could enjoy snorkeling. It was a fulfilling day.
波の無い穏やかなツアーを楽しめました。

This is a location used for the filming of many movies. Whether you're a movie fan or not, you can enjoy it! You can fully enjoy nature, and traveling in a private vehicle is fun. It feels like riding a roller coaster. People of all ages, from adults to children, can have a great time without getting bored. A guide who speaks Japanese shares interesting stories with humor.
多くの映画の撮影で使われた場所です。
映画ファンでなくてもそうでなくても楽しめます！
自然を満喫できますし、専用車での移動は楽しいです。ジェットコースターに乗っているような感じになります。

I was seated by the window. I was surprised when a seal came up on the sandy beach, but it was a wonderful memory. I received a surprise celebratory dessert from the staff, and I had a truly lovely time.

I was looking forward to Sandbar, but at the time close to high tide, the sand wasn't exposed, and it was just a shallow area with splashing. Since it was shallow, there were no fish at all. Well, I did choose to depart a bit later in the morning.
In the afternoon snorkeling, we swam around the coral reef, but the fish were just average to sparse. The water clarity was low, but the coral was magnificent.
The cruise guide, Yumiko, was very enjoyable and considerate, and the hamburger for lunch was delicious, creating a very nice atmosphere.
サンドバー、楽しみにしていましたが、満潮に近い時刻で砂は浮き出ておらず、単なる浅瀬のぱちゃぱちゃでした。浅瀬なので魚も全くおらず。まぁ、午前中ゆっくりめの出発を選んだのは私ですが。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の回りを泳ぎますが、魚影はごくふつうから少なめ。水の透明度は低め。サンゴはみごとでしたが。
クルーズのガイド、ゆみこさんはとても楽しく、気を遣ってくれて、ランチのハンバーガーはおいしくて、雰囲気はとてもよかった。

The Toa Luau was a great first luau for our family (30 to 60 year olds). Waimea Valley itself is beautiful; definitely come at least 2 hours early to be able to walk to the waterfall and enjoy the scenery. The pre-luau activities like weaving grass head bands, husking coconuts etc were fun. The show itself was fantastic too - they performed authentic ceremonies and dances from different Polynesian islands. The host was hilarious! Only slight downside was the food was only mediocre. We are all vegetarian and our main entree was bland quinoa; but we were happy there was even a vegetarian option (you have to request ahead of time though). Overall this luau is definitely worth it and we will recommend it to all of our family and friends!!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are glad you had fun at the luau although it looks like we need to work on our menu. When you come back to do the luau please let us know beforehand so we could make preparations for you to have a better meal. We hope to see you soon!
Everything was amazing! First of all, Mr. Gaito's guidance was very thorough, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The BBQ hamburger was also juicy and incredibly delicious! Above all, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Hawaii! At the sandbar, I took photos right in the middle of the sea and admired the beautiful water. During the sea turtle watching, although they were a bit far away, I encountered two sea turtles. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside a sea turtle! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely love to participate once more!
全てが最高でした！
まず、ガイトさんの案内が非常に丁寧で安心してツアーに参加することが出来ました。BBQハンバーガーも肉汁が溢れてとても美味しかったです！
そして何よりハワイの海を満喫出来ました！サンドバーでは海のど真ん中で写真を撮ったり、綺麗な海を眺めたり。ウミガメウォッチングでは少し遠目ではありましたが、ウミガメ２匹と遭遇。シュノーケリングでは何とウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非もう一度参加したいです！

The sandbar was beautiful even without the sand. It seems to depend on the weather, so it really is a matter of luck. The staff were very accommodating, and they took photos for us. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were delicious, and I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time without any worries. We scattered bread for the fish, so we got to see a lot of tropical fish, which made for a happy time.
サンドバーは砂が出ていなくても色が綺麗でした。お天気によるそうなので、これは本当に運です。

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.
I participated with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old children, and the sea was beautiful, we saw turtles, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were fantastic. More than that, the crew's consideration for the children and their cheerful attitude made me want to join again.
5歳と8歳の子供連れで参加しましたが、海も綺麗し亀も見れて船の上で食べるハンバーガーも最高でした。それ以上にクルーの人の子供への配慮や陽気な感じ、また参加したいと思いました。
