All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I had a great time watching dolphins and playing with a cheerful crew who spoke Japanese. The blue sea of Hawaii, the clear sky, and the wonderful smiles of the crew—please experience it at least once!

陽気な日本語の話せるクルーとわいわい楽しくイルカを見て楽しく遊べました☺ハワイの海青い空イルカの群れクルーの素敵な笑顔一度体験してしてみてください

Shows at each of the Polynesian cultures were scheduled to flow from one to the other. Huki: A Canoe Celebration was a beautiful gathering of the features of all cultures represented at the park. Being a small physical park area, walking between activities was not stressful and workers were happy to help if you couldn't find a show. Great value for money.

The cruise was filled with a bright and fun atmosphere, typical of Hawaii, and as we progressed, we received explanations about filming locations from Jurassic Park. I was thrilled to see sea turtles multiple times.

I had never tried snorkeling before and was quite unsure, but I decided to give it a go. The staff kindly checked my gear and equipment, which allowed me to experience it without any anxiety. The underwater world was so enjoyable that I feel like I might become hooked on snorkeling.

It would have been difficult to get there on my own, so using the tour was definitely the right choice.

　明るく楽しいガイドさんでハワイらしい雰囲気満点のクルーズ、途中ジュラシックパークの撮影場所の説明なども聞きながら進んでいくと、ウミガメもしっかり何度も現れてくれて感激しました。
　シュノーケリングは全くの初めてでかなり自信がなかったのですが、思い切ってチャレンジ。親切に着用の状態や装備の点検をしてくれたので、不安なく体験することができました。水中の世界が楽し過ぎて、これからシュノーケリングにはまりそう。
　自力で行くのは大変な場所なので、ツアー利用して正解でした。

I participated in this tour during my first visit to Hawaii. The water was incredibly clear and the emerald green sea was amazing. The guide was very friendly, and I had a great time. It had been over 10 years since I last swam in the ocean, so I was a bit anxious, but the detailed explanations in Japanese made me feel very reassured. There were also many small children participating. This was a tour that I would love to join again when I come back to Hawaii! (﹡´◡`﹡ )

初めてのハワイでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
透明度抜群でエメラルドグリーンの海は最高でした。ガイドさんもとても気さくな方で、楽しく過ごせました。海で泳ぐのは10年以上ぶりだったので、なにかと不安でしたが、日本語で丁寧に説明していただけるのでとても安心です。小さな子供もたくさん参加していました。
次回ハワイにきたときももういちど参加したいと思えるツアーでした(﹡´◡`﹡ )

We participated as a couple with a Japanese guide. We had free time in the first half, and then we went kayaking at noon. We decided to try cycling, which we hadn't planned for. The bike had a brake that stops when you pedal backward, and I was quite nervous getting used to it. However, I was amazed by the beauty of Lanikai Beach and the lovely cycling path along Kailua Beach! I'm glad we did it ^_^

The kayaking in the second half was stunning because the sea was so beautiful, and I was in awe. However, I was so focused on paddling that I couldn't take many photos. After we reached the uninhabited island, we had the guide take various pictures for us, but I was really disappointed that we didn't get a photo of the two of us in the kayak. It ended with me wondering, "Huh? Huh?" The kayaking felt great while we were on it, but we capsized when getting in and out, which turned out to be surprisingly fun (^ ^)w

日本語ガイド付きで夫婦2人で参加しました。私達は前半が自由時間で、12時からカヤックでした。予定してなかったサイクリングをしてみました。この自転車がペダルを後ろにこぐと止まるブレーキで、なかなか慣れずドキドキしながら乗りました。でもラニカイビーチの美しさやカイルアビーチ沿いのサイクリングロードの綺麗さに感動でした！！
して良かったと思います^_^
後半のカヤックは海がとても綺麗だったので、わ〜と思いましたが、漕ぐのに必死で写真をあまり取れず無人島に着いてからいろいろ写真をガイドさんに撮って頂きましたが、2人でカヤック乗ってる写真を取ってもらえると思っていたのに撮ってもらえなかったのがすごい残念でした。。あれ？あれ？と思ったまま終わってしまいました。カヤックは乗ってる時も気持ち良いですが、乗るときと降りる時に転覆して、それが意外と面白かったです(^ ^)w

On the day of the event, it was a bit disappointing that the luau was held indoors due to the weather, but I was greeted with a lei at the entrance and chose a Mai Tai. There were many types of food available to fill up before the show, and I was quite satisfied. The show included audience participation events, creating a friendly atmosphere. The singing and hula were fantastic, and the fire dance brought everything to a climax. It was an incredibly enjoyable evening.

当日は天候の影響で室内でのルアウとなり少し残念でしたが
入り口でレイを掛けていただき、マイタイをチョイス。
ショーの前の腹ごなしも多くの種類が並び満腹になりました。
ショーでは客席参加型のイベントもあり和やかな雰囲気でした。
歌、フラも最高、ファイヤーダンスで最高潮となり
とても楽しく過ごせた夕べでした。

We participated for the first time in 17 years since our honeymoon, this time with our children, on a trip to Hawaii.

The tour took almost a whole day, exploring Hawaii's nature, culture, and movie filming locations.

In the morning, the first part of the tour was led by a woman tour guide who spoke Japanese well and explained the native plants of Hawaii in detail. She took us around various places, teaching us about food and culture.

The second part mainly focused on movie filming locations. We visited famous spots from Jurassic Park, Jumanji, and King Kong, making us feel like we were inside the movies.

For lunch, we enjoyed a buffet and ate until we were full. It was very delicious.

The afternoon tour was about Hawaii's ancient civilization and ruins, and since the guide spoke English, I could hardly understand what was being said. However, there were explanation signs with photos at each location, so I was able to understand visually.

My son loves Jurassic Park, so it turned out to be a fantastic day for both adults and children.

I booked and participated in six activities during this trip, but the Polynesian Cultural Center was the best! The bus guide, Maki, was really funny, and despite the long travel time, no one fell asleep. The local Japanese student guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very dedicated, which was great. One day wasn't enough, so I definitely want to participate again next time.

今回の旅行で６つのアクティビティを予約し参加しましたが、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは一番良かったです！
バスのガイドさんのまきさんは凄く面白く、長い時間の移動にも関わらず、誰一人寝ていなかった。
ポリネシアも現地の日本人学生のガイドが一生懸命さが伝わり凄く良かったです。
一日の滞在では足らないくらいでしたので次回も是非参加したいと思います。

I participated for the first time, and it was better than I expected.
It was a movie location, and I particularly enjoyed the filming site of Jurassic World.
I didn't have high expectations for lunch from the start, so I wasn't dissatisfied at all.
I would like to participate again!

初めて参加しましたが、思っていたよりも良かったです。
映画のロケ地で、特にジュラシックワールドの撮影地が映画通りで良かったです。
昼食は最初から期待していなかったので、別に不満もありませんでした。
又、参加したいです！

After 17 years since our honeymoon, we finally went to Hawaii as a family of four with our children. This was my first time participating in such an activity. In contrast to my dislike for boats, my wife and kids seemed to be having a great time. However, we set sail from the location where the scene of escaping from lava due to a volcanic eruption in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" was filmed, which instantly raised my excitement as I had watched Jurassic World in the theater.

The Japanese crew on the boat were very kind and made me feel at ease during the trip. While we were playing in the heavenly sea, they grilled hamburgers on the BBQ grill at the back of the boat. I was curious about what the light meal would be, and it turned out to be hamburgers with patties and vegetables in buns. My kids love them, and they happily devoured them, saying how delicious they were!

After playing at the sandbar, we enjoyed searching for sea turtles, and we could see many from the boat. The kids were excitedly pointing out, "Look, there's one over there!" and "There's another one here!" They had a great time searching for the turtles together. Finally, we enjoyed snorkeling at a spot where lots of fish gather. Unfortunately, my kids were too scared to snorkel, but I made sure to take plenty of pictures of the fish underwater. When I showed the footage to the kids later, they were thrilled, exclaiming, "Wow! Amazing! There are so many!"

Next time, I hope my kids will practice snorkeling so they can join in properly.

新婚旅行以来１７年ぶりに子供たちと家族４人で行ったハワイで
初めて参加しました。
船が苦手な私とは対照的に妻と子供は楽しそうにはしゃいでいました。
しかし、ジュラシックワールド”炎の王国”で火山の噴火による溶岩から
恐竜を連れて港から逃げるシーンを撮影した場所からの出航で、
ジュラシックワールドを映画館で見ていた私のテンションも一気に
上がりました。
船には日本人のクルーが親切に対応してくれていて、
安心して参加することが出来ました。
天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間に船の後方にあるBBQグリルで
ハンバーグを焼いてくれました。
軽食と書いてあったので、何だろう？と思っていたのですが
バンズにハンバーグや野菜を挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした。
子供は大好きなので大はしゃぎでおいしいと言ってペロッと食べていました！
サンドバーで遊んだ後はウミガメ探し船の上からでも何匹も
確認できるほどたくさんいて「ほら、あそこにいるよ～」
とか「こっちにもいるよ～」と兄弟でウミガメ探しを楽しんでいました。
そして、最後に魚がいっぱい集まるというポイントでシュノーケリングを
楽しみました。
残念ながら子供は怖がってシュノーケリングは出来ませんでしたが、
その分親である私が頑張って海の中の魚たちを一杯撮影しました。
後日その映像を子供たちに見せると「すごい！すごい！いっぱいいる～」
といって大変喜んでくれました。
次回子供たちはちゃんとシュノーケリングできるように練習して
参加したいと思います。

Departure is around 7:00 AM. At the pickup location, you will receive a color-coded wristband for each tour, making it easy to identify which tour you have signed up for. You will also receive a schedule that clearly indicates what time to participate in each activity. There will be signs at the location with the names of each activity, so make sure to gather there before the time indicated on your schedule.

The movie location tour had a bright, cheerful, and adorable female guide who spoke Japanese. All the participants were Japanese, and the guide's stories were entertaining, making it a lot of fun. The breathtaking scenery was truly moving! If you've seen the movie, you will definitely be even more excited!

The jungle exploration tour had about 20 participants, both foreigners and Japanese, in one vehicle. The guide spoke only English, so I couldn't understand most of the content, but it was amazing to see beautiful scenery while driving off-road!

The Taste of Kualoa tour had a Japanese guide, and all the participants were Japanese as well. We got to see fruits and plants that you can't find in Japan, and there were tastings. It was a fun experience that you don't get to have often!

Kualoa Ranch is in the mountains, and the weather can change quickly. This time, it went from a downpour to clear and hot weather. It's a good idea to bring a towel and a folding umbrella just in case! It's definitely worth a visit!

朝7:00頃の出発です。
ピックアップ場所で、どのツアーを申し込んでいるか分かるように、ツアーごとに色分けされたリストバンドをつけてもらいます。
何時にどのアクティビティに参加するか書いてある予定表をもらえるのでとても分かりやすいです。
現地ではそれぞれのアクティビティの名前が書いてある看板があるので、予定表に書いてある時間より前にそこに集合します。

映画ロケ地ツアーは、日本語が話せる明るく元気で可愛らしい女性のガイドさんでした。ツアー参加者も全員日本人で、ガイドさんの話もおもしろくてとても楽しかったです。圧巻の景色で感動しました！映画を見たことある人ならさらに大興奮間違いなしです！

ジャングル探検ツアーは、外国の方と日本人20人弱で一台の車に乗ります。ガイドさんは英語のみだったので、内容はほとんど分からなかったですが、オフロードを思いっきり走りながらいい景色を見れて最高でした！

テイストオブクアロアツアー、こちらは日本人のガイドの方でツアー参加者も全員日本人でした。日本では見られないフルーツや植物を見たり、試食があったり。なかなかできない経験ができ楽しかったです！

クアロアランチは山で、天気が変わりやすく、今回もスコールが来たと思ったら快晴で暑くなったりしました。タオルと折り畳み傘は念のため持って行ったほうがいいです！
行ってみる価値は十二分にあります！！

I was disappointed that I couldn't get off the bus even though I went all the way to the North Shore. It was also a letdown that both meals were at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I had intended to see the whole island, but it felt one-sided, and I felt like I missed out.

せっかくノースショアまで行ったりしているのに、バスから降りれず、残念なおもいをしました。
食事は2回ともポリネシアン文化センターだったのも残念ポイント。
島全体をみれるつもりが、偏っていて、損した気分になりました。

Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!

It was rainy, but the waterfall was very beautiful. I was impressed that so much nature is still preserved. I want to come again. The guide also explained things well.

雨模様でしたが滝がとてもきれいでした。自然がまだたくさん残されていて感激しました。またきたいとおもいます。ガイドさんもよく説明してくらました。

Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!

We participated as a family of six, including my 83-year-old mother. The location was absolutely fantastic, at the foot of Diamond Head, on the aquarium side, where we could enjoy a distant view of the hotel district in Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean. It was wonderful to slowly enjoy a delicious dinner while watching the blue sea and sky change colors with the sunset. The waiters in black serving drinks and food were quite stylish.

母親83歳を含め家族6名で参加しました。ともかくロケーションが最高で、ダイアモンドヘッドの麓、水族館側で、ホノルルのホテル街を遠目に太平洋を一望出来、青い海と空が夕焼けに染まっていくのを見ながらゆっくり美味しい夕食を頂き最高でした。飲み物、食事をサーブす黒服のウェイターがカッコいいです。

We attended with seven family members in the Diamond Seat. The price is high, but the major benefits are being able to watch the show from the front row and having priority access to the buffet. The buffet had a long line, possibly due to the Golden Week crowds, and it was disappointing to be cut in line by those who didn't have priority. The drink bar also had a Japanese menu available. Additionally, they take a photo of you at the beginning, and later a staff member comes around selling the framed photo for $50, which is amusing. After the show, the performers allow you to take pictures in the hallway, so that was satisfying.

家族7人で、ダイヤモンドシートで参加しました。
価格は高いですが大きいメリットは、最前列でショーを観れる・ビュッフェが最優先で並べるの2点です。ビュッフェはGWの混雑のせいか長蛇の列で、優先ではない方に割込みされ残念でした。
ドリンクバーは日本語メニューもありました。
また、最初に写真撮られ、後でまわってくるスタッフさんが写真たて付き50ドルで売りに来ます笑
ショーの後、出演者の方が廊下で写真を撮らせてくれるのでそれで満足でした。

This is my second time, and it was absolutely amazing. Whenever I come to Hawaii, I will definitely come to see the Chief Luau show. I also introduced it to my friends, and they said it was fun. This time, I reserved a VIP seat, which made it even better. I look forward to next time!

今回で2回目 最高に面白かった ハワイに来た時は必ずチーフルアーショー見に来ます お友達にも紹介しました 楽しいと言ってました 今回はVIP席に予約して更に良かった 次回もt

We purchased the Super Ambassador package and we were treated like royalty. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and respectful. Iotua was our guides name so we highly recommend him. Learning about the other islands in the pacific was fun. They told you just enough that now we would like to visit each one. The parade on water was really something you don’t want to miss. Also the Breath of Fire program was awesome!

The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.

First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.

At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.

The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.

最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び（笑）帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています（笑）
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。

It felt like I was inside a movie! I'm glad I had a great experience!

One downside was that I didn't quite understand the initial explanation, and when I asked for clarification, it seemed like the male guide who spoke Japanese explained it very reluctantly. It was disappointing to encounter an unfriendly person.

Other than that, it was great that they explained things in a fun way, mixing in jokes in both English and Japanese.

映画の中に入ったみたいでした！
良い体験でき良かったです！

少し残念なのが、最初の説明がよく解らなかったので、聞き直したら凄くめんどくさそうに説明されました、日本語が出来る男性ガイドで不親切な人がいたのが残念でした‍♂️

その他は英語でも、日本語でもジョークをまじえて楽しく説明してくれているのが、伝わって来て良かったです(^^)

The sea was very beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many fish swimming. Also, the coral was very large, and I was breathless at the sight I saw for the first time.
The BBQ was quite affected by the heavy rain, but the hamburgers were very delicious, and I was able to enjoy it even in the downpour.

海がとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが素敵でした。また、珊瑚がとても大きくて初めて見る光景に息を呑みました。
雨がかなりひどかったBBQでしたが、ハンバーガーがとても美味しく、大雨でも楽しめました。

At first, the boat was rocking a lot, and I got seasick, but once we entered the sea, we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which became a very valuable experience.

Whether you actually encounter them depends on luck, but we were lucky to meet them.

最初は船の揺れがひどく、酔ってしまいましたが、
海に入ってからは、野生のイルカ、ウミガメを見ることができて、とても貴重な経験になりました。

実際に出会えるかは運次第のところもありますが、
自分たちは出会えてラッキーでした。

I studied various Polynesian cultures and dances thoroughly. It's a place where you can spend the whole day experiencing it. Alcohol is not available.

充分いろいろなポリネシアの文化とダンスを勉強しました。体験もでき一日中過ごせる場所です。アルコールが飲めないです。

Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.

I decided to stay here, even though it's a bit pricey, on the day before returning to Japan.

It's quite far from the center of Waikiki, but that also has its advantages, as it feels peaceful and time seems to flow leisurely, which I think is perfect for the end of a vacation. (I also had my first experience using Uber.)

Since I splurged a bit on the price, the delicious course meal was worth it, and I noticed many couples who seemed to be newlyweds. The soup, in particular, was exquisite.

Not only the food but also the location is outstanding, making it a perfect place for a "special day."

I hope to use it again someday.

明日は、日本に帰るという前日に少し値段は張りますがここに決めました。

ワイキキ中心部からはかなり離れていますが、それはまた静かでいい面もあり、ゆったりと時が流れているようで、バカンスの最後にはちょうどいいと思います。（初めてのUber利用の体験も出来ました。）

少し値段を奮発したので、美味しいコース料理で、新婚さんらしきカップルも多く見受けられました。特にスープは絶品でしたよ。

料理だけでなく、ロケーションも抜群で『特別な日』にはもってこいの場所ではないでしょうか。

またいつか、利用したいと思います。

I had a wonderful time with the lovely guide and staff! I was a bit anxious since I had a child with me, but the sandbar was shallow enough for my 2-year-old to enjoy, and we even got to see sea turtles, which was so exciting! The guide was very considerate, and we were in a great mood the whole time! I was also happy that they actively took photos for us!

Snorkeling was a bit too early for my 2-year-old, so we took turns enjoying it. The food was delicious, and having unlimited drinks was great too.

素敵なガイドさんとスタッフさんで楽しい時間を過ごせました(^^)子供づれだったので不安でしたが、サンドバーは浅瀬で2歳児でも楽しめて海亀も見れて大興奮♫ガイドさんが気遣ってくださり、終始ご機嫌でした！写真も積極的に撮ってくださり嬉しかったです！
シュノーケリングは流石に2歳には早かったので代わり番こに楽しみました。
ご飯も美味しくドリンク飲み放題なのもいいですね。

Had so much Fun.. what an amazing Experience. Would Recommend to all my family . A must when you come to Hawaii..

It was one of a kind tour. The Sand bar was very mesmerizing. Great views all around. The volleyball we played was super fun.

Turtle watching was good but not outstanding. We were able to spot a few.

However the highlight was snorkeling. Great location choosen for the activity. Amazing variety of fishes and plantlife was spotted while snorkeling.

I loved the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone in Oahu.

The sunset in Waikiki offers a breathtaking view of the night scenery from the boat, and you can enjoy the fireworks without any obstructions. With light meals and alcohol, I had a great time feeling a bit tipsy among the high-energy passengers and the crew who spoke Japanese. It's also reassuring that there are restrooms on board. If there are many Japanese guests, they provide individual explanations in Japanese, which was very appreciated.

ワイキキのサンセット、夜景が船から一望でき、花火も視界を遮るものが何も無く堪能できます。軽い食事とアルコールでほろ酔い気分でハイテンションな乗客と日本語が通じるクルーのおもてなしでとても良い時間を過ごすことができました。トイレも船内にあるので安心です。日本人が多い場合は、日本語で個別に説明をしてくれるのでそこもありがたかったです。
