All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

My child is a fan of the Jurassic series, so I thought it would be a service for them, but in the end, I enjoyed it the most! ^_^

I had a great time on the jungle tour, farm tour, and movie tour.

Even if you're not good at English, there are many people who speak Japanese in the park, so I don't think it will be a problem.

The explanations were in Japanese when I participated. ^_^ I definitely want to join again next year in Hawaii, and next time I want to try riding in a jeep or an ATV!

子供がジェラシック シリーズのファンなので私としては子供へのサービスだと思い申し込みましたが結果、自分が一番楽しんでました^_^

ジャングル、ファームツアー、ムービーツアーどれも楽しませていただきました。

英語が苦手な方でも日本語話される方がパーク内に沢山いらっしゃるので問題ないと思います。

説明も自分が参加した時は日本語の説明でした^_^
来年のハワイも是非参加して次回はジープにのるかバギーに挑戦したいです！

this show was amazing. very friendly and welcoming. the food was excellent! we loved everything about it especially the fire dance. we highly recommended it. if we come back we will definitely do it again.

It was a very good tour. The small island was beautiful, and the guide's explanations were easy to understand. However, I felt that the time was short and the price was a bit high.

とても良いツアーでした。小さな島もキレイでガイドさんの説明もわかりやすかったです。
ただ時間が短いのと、ちょっと金額が高いかなーという印象でした。

I participated in a tour with a buffet. The food was surprisingly delicious, and I enjoyed eating while watching hula dancing. However, the main event was more of a karaoke show than a hula show, which was a misunderstanding on my part based on the title. I was hoping to see more hula, so I was a bit disappointed. The final greeting was nice, though.

ビュッフェ付きのツアーに参加しました。食事の内容は意外と美味しく食事中もフラダンスを見せて貰えて楽しく食べられました。肝心の本番はフラショーというよりは歌謡ショーと言った内容でタイトルから想像があまり出来なかった自分のミスですがもっとフラだけをがっつり見たかったのでガッカリしました。最後のグリーティングは良かったです。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I've been curious about this show, and I finally got to participate. I signed up for the backstage monitor tour, and it turned out to be an incredibly fun and happy experience beyond my expectations.

On the day of the event, I unfortunately got injured and had to attend in a wheelchair, which made me anxious about whether I could participate. However, the staff, who were able to communicate in Japanese, were very kind and guided me from the entrance in my wheelchair.

First, in the green room, we were served champagne and snacks, and we had the opportunity to chat with the cast and take photos. The backstage tour that followed was a very refreshing experience.

Before the show, we enjoyed a delicious course meal, and just as we finished dessert, the show started.

Not only did I get to enjoy the amazing dances and singing of the Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, but the performance by the hula dancers unique to Hawaii was also impressive.

After the show, I was able to take photos with the Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators and even got their autographs, which left me very satisfied.

I definitely want to participate again the next time I come to Hawaii.

I am grateful to everyone who warmly welcomed me in my wheelchair. Thank you very much.

何度かハワイに来るたび、ずっと気になっていたショーでしたが、やっと参加できました。
バックステージ付のモニターツアーを申し込みましたが、想像以上に、最高に楽しく幸せな時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

まず、参加当日、怪我をしてしまい、車椅子でしか参加せざるを得ない事態になったので、参加できるかどうか不安だった私に、日本語対応可能なスタッフが、とても丁寧に対応してくださり、入口から車椅子にて案内してくれました。

最初に、グリーンルームにて、シャンパンとおつまみが提供され、キャストと会話ができたり、写真撮影がありました。
その後のバックステージ見学は、とても新鮮な体験でした。

ショー前に、美味しいコース料理をいただき、デザートを食べ終えたあたりで、ショーがスタートしました。

エルビスやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん達の素晴らしいダンスや歌声に酔い痴れるだけでなく、ハワイならではのフラダンサー達のショーも圧感でした。

ショー後は、エルビス&マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん達と写真撮影ができ、サインもいただき、大満足です。

また、次にハワイにきたときは、絶対参加したいです。

車椅子の私を温かく迎えてくださった皆さまに感謝です。
ありがとうございました。

It was really awesome experience due to the friendliness of the crew and the weather we had that day was just perfect. The burger that we were given for lunch was perhaps the best burger I've had on the sea. Definitely better than my expectations.

Since I participated during the New Year period, it felt different from the usual place. I enjoyed the sunset and the evening atmosphere at that time. I chose a great seat, right in the center at the very front, and it was moving to see the hula dance up close.

The food was served buffet style. There was a wide variety, including salads, meats, rice, noodles, and desserts. I could order up to three drinks with a ticket, so I ordered Mai Tai and beer.

There were many types of hula dances, and I was able to see about ten different groups perform. The beautiful movements of the hula were very captivating, and the powerful dances by the men using fire sticks were impressive as well.

年末年始に参加したのでいつもの場所とは違ったようですが、
時間帯的に夕焼けの日の落ちる感じと夜の雰囲気を楽しめて良かったです。
良い席にしたのでど真ん中の一番前の席で間近でフラダンスが観れて感動しました。

ごはんはビュッフェスタイルです。
サラダやお肉、ごはんや麺類、デザートまで種類は豊富でした。
飲み物は3つまで頼めるチケットだったのでマイタイやビールなどを注文。

フラダンスの種類？も豊富で全部で10組くらいのフラダンスを見ることができました。フラダンスの美しい動きはとても魅力的でしたし、男性が火の棒を使って力強いダンスをするのも迫力があって良かったです。

My husband wasn't feeling up to swimming in the ocean, but once we reached the sandbar, we played beach volleyball and got caught up in snorkeling, losing track of time and having a great time. As it was my husband's first time snorkeling, he was amazed by the beautiful coral reefs and the schools of fish, repeatedly exclaiming, "This is great! It's beautiful!" Since there were staff who spoke Japanese, we felt no anxiety, and as the boat was primarily for Japanese tourists, we made friends with the people sitting next to us. Under the blue sea and sky of Hawaii, we spent time with the bright and kind staff, learned about the Hawaiian spirit of cherishing nature, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you very much.

夫は海で泳ごうという気持ちになれなかったのですが、サンドバーについたら、ビーチバレーをしたり、シュノーケリングに夢中になったり、時間を忘れて楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。シュノーケリングが初めての夫は、きれいなサンゴ礁や群がる魚達の様子に感動して「よかった～！きれいだ～！」の連発でした。日本語のできるスタッフでしたから不安もなく、さらに日本人観光客用の船でしたからほとんど日本人で隣の席の方たちとも仲良くなりました。ハワイの青い海と青空の下で、明るく優しいスタッフと一緒に過ごして、自然を大切にするハワイスピリットを学び、満喫しました。ありがとうございました。

It was great! But it's quite expensive, and if you don't like hula dancing, it might not matter either way!

The place with Michael Jackson was lively!

よかった！けど、けっこう高いし、フラダンスが好きでなければ、どちらでもいいかも！

マイケルジャクソンのところが沸いてました！

Better to go ther on sunny day. Better to bring lunch box by your self

The sandbar was deeper than I imagined from the pictures, and my 6-year-old child seemed to struggle for breath every time a wave hit, quickly wanting to get back on the boat. The weather that day wasn't very good, and the wind made it quite cold, which contributed to my child's lack of enjoyment. However, the local guides and all the staff were really fun and great people, which was wonderful. I hope to go again in the summer when my child is a bit older.

画像から想像したよりもサンドバーは深さがあって6歳のうちの子は波を被るたびに息苦しそうにしてすぐにボートへ上がってしまいました。
当日は天気があまりよくなくて、風で結構寒かったことも子供が楽しめなかった原因になってしまいました。
けれど、現地のガイドをはじめスタッフの皆さんは本当にとても楽しく、よい人ばかりですごくよかったです。
もう少し子供が大きくなったら、今度は夏に行ってみたいなと思います。

This time, I was looking for a Hawaiian-style show for my first trip to Hawaii with my boyfriend. I had previously seen another luau show, so I decided to book the Rock-A-Hula show, which offers not only a luau but also an American-style show. The course I booked was called the Green Room, which included light snacks in a VIP room, and we got to take a photo with Michael Jackson at the beginning. I'm glad I chose this course because we received the photo on the day of the show!

We had front-row seats right in front of the stage. The dancers were easy to see, and it was really great. Before the show started, there was a backstage tour where we could wear the dancers' costumes and take photos, which was a wonderful experience! My boyfriend, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, really enjoyed it as well. I highly recommend this course!

今回、彼氏との初のハワイ旅行のため、ハワイらしいショーが見たいなと思い探しておりました。以前、別のルアウのみのショーは見たことがあったので、こちらのロックアフラショーはルアウのみでなく、アメリカらしいショーも見られるとのことで、こちらのロックアフラショーを予約しました。今回予約したコースはグリーンルームというコースのため、VIPルームでの軽食も付いており、はじめにマイケルジャクソンと写真を撮りました。この写真は当日もらえたのでこちらのコースにして良かったです
！
席もステージ目の前の先頭の席。
ダンサーもよく見えとても良かったです。
ショーが始まる前のバックステージツアーでは、
ダンサーの衣装を実際に身につけて写真撮影ができこれも良い体験でした！
ハワイ初の彼もとても楽しんでおり、
こちらのコースとてもオススメです。

I participated in the same tour twice and heard the same stories (´;ᴗ;`). I thought we would be able to eat more fruits while exploring the botanical garden, but we only looked at the trees and listened to explanations (´;ᴗ;`). It was nice to be able to eat fresh macadamia nuts \( ˆoˆ \)/, but since it takes up a whole day, I feel like I might not participate again next time (´;ᴗ;`). The scenery was really great!

同じようなツアーに2回参加し、同じ話をききました(　´;ᴗ;`　)植物園をまわるのも、もっとフルーツを食べたりできるのかと思っていましたが、木をみて説明をきくだけでした(　´;ᴗ;`　)生のマカダミアナッツをたべたりできたのはよかったです\( ˆoˆ )/ですが、1日つぶれてしまうので次回の参加はないかなという感じでした(　´;ᴗ;`　)景色はすごいよかったです！

I thought the sandbar would be a beach, but it seems that during the winter season, it only goes up to about knee height. It was said that it's better to enjoy it in the afternoon if you want to take your time. If I participate next time, I think I'll choose the afternoon. I also had fun taking pictures of sea turtles!

サンドバーって砂浜になると思いましたが、冬の時期はまだ膝の下くらいまでだそうです。ゆっくり楽しむなら午後の方が良いとの事でした。次回参加するなら午後をチョイスしてみようと思います。
ウミガメの撮影も出来楽しかったよ！

I was hoping to see more of the hula "Auwana" since I'm learning hula, but there were many Tahitian performances, and I felt it was an Americanized entertainment show. However, if you approach it with that mindset, you can enjoy it quite a bit.

フラを習っているので、｢アウアナ｣のフラをもう少し見られるかと期待していたのですが、タヒチアンが多く、アメリカナイズされたエンターテイメントショーだな、と思いました。そう思って臨めば、十分楽しめました。

I woke up early and participated. While moving on the boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins several times, and I hurriedly took pictures with my smartphone. Then, with the guide's shout, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked down as instructed, I saw more than 20 dolphins swimming together. It was amazing! After that, we challenged the slide and enjoyed swimming. I'm not a strong swimmer, but I wasn't scared. However, my husband got seasick, which made me a bit lonely. There were also a few others who were feeling unwell. I took two motion sickness pills before going, but while swimming, the waves made me feel a bit nauseous. The taro cheese burger for lunch was delicious! Thank you very much!

朝早く起きて参加してきました。船で移動中にも何度かイルカの群れに遭遇し、慌ててスマホで撮影＾＾そしてガイドさんの掛け声でみんな一斉に海の中へ！下を見て！！と言われ見てみると、20頭以上のイルカが群れになって泳いでました。感激でした！後は滑り台に挑戦したり、泳ぎを楽しんだり。私は泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、怖さはありませんでした。ただ、旦那さんが船酔いしてしまい、少し寂しかったです＾＾他にも何名か気分が悪くなっている方がいました。酔い止めを2錠飲んで行きましたが、泳いでいる際も波にゆらゆら揺れるので、船酔いというか、泳いでいるときに少し気持ち悪くなりました笑
ランチのタロイモのチーズバーガーが美味しかったです！ありがとうございました！！

At the sandbar, I was able to practice snorkeling, which made it smooth to explore underwater afterward. I was able to see two sea turtles in addition to the fish.

サンドバーのところで、シュノーケルの練習ができたので、そのあとのシュノーケルを使っての海中散策がスムーズにでき、魚のほかにウミガメを２匹も見ることができた

Loved the Super Ambassador package! We were always in front on shows & we didn’t have to worry about where to go next because everything is planned out for us by our personal guide. Best part, I got a 5% discount thru my work.

The tour itself was great. Getting to stop at some sightseeing areas and enjoy the PCC was definitely a highlight. Could have spent more time at the Dole Plantation and the PCC. The driver Rob was obnoxious however. He talked non stop very loudly and it was difficult to decifer what was fact and what was BS. He talked non stop about himself and we got to the PCC later than anticipated so had less time there.

It was good my friends and I really enjoyed it. The view was breathtaking & the crew on board were so friendly and helpful. I am a picky eater so the food was alright to me however my friends really enjoyed it. If prone to seasickness, I recommend you take medication before getting onto the boat.

I went on this cruise with my friends as we all met in Hawaii for a little vacation. This dinner cruise was wonderful. We got to see the sunset and the food was delicious however we were just happy to be surrounded by great company and the view. If driving out keep in mind the traffic as it will get busy.

The tour was okay. To begin with the driver did not wait or call us when we were at the hotel. We called the company so many times and they gave us info that the bus is late and then again in 10 minutes one says the bus left us! It was a horrible experience. I would believe they would atleast call us. But even then we tried to ask to meet the driver elsewhere to catch up on the tour and there was a long wait before they could say yes! The dispatcher lady was helpful but then the driver not so much. I didn't like how the driver kept on talking even though the crowd was asleep. Most tours I have been has a guide talking and interacting with you while the driver drives so its more fun but these have the driver drive and speak on microphone which was disappointing! The tour itself was okay because with the better tour guide it could have been much better. Do not miss the Polynesian Cultural Center. Could spend a good half a day there.

The sandbar had a beautiful view that I had never seen before. I was able to see sea turtles, and the drink service on the boat was great.

サンドバーは今まで見たことのない景色でとてもキレイでした。
ウミガメも見ることができ、船内のドリンクサービスも良かったです。

I think the backstage tour before the show was a very valuable experience. We were able to wear the dancers' costumes and take photos, and they shared behind-the-scenes stories mixed with jokes, which made the show ten times more enjoyable. The green room was also a lovely space where you can definitely feel a "special hospitality." Additionally, since our seats were in the front row, we got to shake hands and hug the dancers, Michael, and Elvis, making it an incredibly rewarding show!

ショーが始まる前のバックステージツアーはとても貴重な体験だったと思います。ダンサーの衣装を実際に身につけて写真撮影ができたり、ショーの裏話をジョークを混じえて紹介してくれたりして、おかげでショーが１０倍楽しめました。グリーンルームも素敵な空間で「特別なおもてなし感」を味わえること請け合いです！　また、席が最前列だったのでダンサー、マイケル、エルヴィスと実際に握手したりハグしてもらったりと、それはそれはお得感満載なショーでした！

For dinner, we opted for the buffet since it was around the time we would be eating anyway, and it was pretty much what I expected. In hindsight, I think it might have been nice to join after having something at a restaurant during happy hour. The tables were cramped, there were a lot of people, and waiting in line for the buffet was tiring. The variety of dishes was decent. I tried some things I don't usually eat, like Ahi Poke and Lomilomi Salmon, and they were delicious.

The show started with a Polynesian theme, set around Elvis landing in Hawaii. MJ also made an appearance. Since both of them have passed away, we can't see the real ones, but I enjoyed the American entertainment; the singing and dancing were great. I was satisfied.

I wonder if it was just Elvis and MJ? It would have been nice to see GAGA or Taylor Swift as well. I wish I knew who would be performing and when.

夕食は始まる時間、どっちにしろ食べる時間だろうからということでビュッフェ付きのものにしましたが　まあまあ思っていた通りでした。
どこか レストランのHAPPY HOURで頂いてからの参加でもよかったかな～と今となっては思います。
テーブルも狭いし、人が多いし　ビュッフェなので順番待ちで疲れたな～という感じでした。品数はまあまあでした。Ahi Poke や　Lomilomi Salmon など　普段食べないものがあったので挑戦してみましたが　美味しかったです。

ポリネシアの要素を取り入れ内容で　エルビスがハワイに上陸したという設定でショーが始まります。MJも登場します。
本物は二人とも亡くなっているので見ることはもできませんけど、アメリカのエンターテイメンをたのしめました歌も踊りもよかったです。満足です。

エルビスとMJだけなのでしょうか？GAGAやテイラースイフトなどみれたらよかったのにな～。だれがいつ出るかが分ればいいな～と思います。

The weather worsened, so it was canceled once and then rescheduled for the next day. The staff's response was smooth, which was great.

In reality, there were waves, and the sea was cold, making it tough for families with young children, as the kids seemed scared and cold. It would be better to have an age limit of 10 years and older. Many adults also experienced seasickness.

On my third attempt, I was able to see three groups of mother and baby dolphins. I was really glad to see them.

天候悪化で、一度中止で、翌日に変更してもらいました。スタッフの対応もスムーズで、よかったです。

実際、波があり、海が冷たく、小学生低学年の親子連れは、子供達が怖がったり、寒がったりして、大変そうでした。年齢制限を10歳以上の方がよいですね。船酔いの大人も多かったです。
3度目のチャレンジで、イルカの親子連れに3組見れました。見られて本当によかったです。

Our family enjoyed the sunset dinner cruise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t have much of a sunset, but like others mentioned you just had to get up and go out on the deck as they don’t make any announcement. The food was okay. Service was great. The entertainment was good as well. But i’m not sure It was worth the money so I probably wouldn’t do it again.

The flow from village to village with happy and friendly people made us feel happy. We learned so much from the talented performers...The canoe celebration was a treat...so very crowded for viewing, but it was the Christmas holiday break. When I think of the Polynesian Cultural Center, I will smile and remember the villages, the luau and it's good feeling and the fantastic show...Ha. Unforgettable.

The tour time is limited, and we gathered at 6:50 AM to board the bus, but I thought it might have been okay to meet a bit later. We had about 30-50 minutes of free time in the morning, which left the kids a bit bored.

After that, we moved according to the schedule, so I was satisfied. Since it takes a whole day during our stay in Hawaii, I wonder how that will work out, but I recommend it.

日本人向けの日本語の、ツアーの時間は限りがあるのか、あさ6:50に集まってバスに乗ったのですが、もっと、遅くても大丈夫なんじゃ無いかとは思いました。30-50分程度朝少し空いたので、子供が暇になりました。

そのあとは時間で動いたので、満足です。
ハワイの滞在の一日使うので、そこがどうかな？とは思いますが、おススメです。

On the day of the event, it was raining heavily and too cold, making it a test of endurance. I would like to suggest establishing certain rules and considering canceling the tour in case of bad weather.

当日は雨がたくさん降っており寒すぎて我慢比べ
大会でした。一定のルールを定め、天候不良の場合
はツアー中止を検討頂きたいです。
