All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I wanted to join the tour because I had never been to a coffee farm on other optional tours. I have also done a coffee farm tour on the Big Island. I simply love natural coffee, and there were many different flavored coffees. Although it wasn't my favorite coffee, I was glad to have the opportunity to visit. It was my first time exploring a farm. Before participating in the tour, I watched an introductory video and learned about the tour content, and I was able to walk right in the middle of the farm. This time, I was able to taste freshly cut pineapple right from the field. Hawaiian pineapple is delicious, but the pineapple I ate directly at the farm was even better! I was happy to receive a whole pineapple as a souvenir, but I was surprised that I couldn't bring it back to Japan. The staff at the shop was Japanese, and they kindly offered to exchange it for cut pineapple for the Japanese participants, which was very helpful. The pineapple juice and fruit samples at the shop were also very delicious! Additionally, there were three types of Waialua coffee available for tasting, and I purchased some. I thought the tour fee was a bit high, so I was glad to participate in the monitor tour. In terms of the rarity of this tour, I thought it would be fun to experience places like Wahiawa Botanical Garden, which has free admission, aside from the farm.

ほかのオプショナルツアーでは寄ることがほとんどなかったコーヒー農園に行ってみたかったのでツアー参加を希望しました
ハワイ島でもコーヒー農園巡りをしたことがあります
シンプルにナチュナルコーヒーが好きだったのでいろいろなフレーバーコーヒーが多くて
自分の好みコーヒーではなかったですが寄ることができてよかったです
農園は初めての散策です
ツアー参加前に紹介動画をみてツアー内容を知ることができましたが、まさに農園の真ん中散策ができます
今回は農園の畑でもいだパイナップルをその場でカットして試食させていただくこともできました
ハワイのパイナップルはおいしいですが、農園で直接食べたパイナップルはさらに美味しかったです～
おみやげのパイナップルは1玉そのものいただいたときはうれしかったですが、日本に持ち帰りできないしびっくりしました
売店の店員さんが日本人で日本人参加者にはカットパインとチェンジしましょうか？と声をかけていただいて助かりました
売店でのパイナップルジュースと果実も試食として出していただきとても美味しかった！
またワイアルアコーヒーの試飲も3種類あり購入させていただきました
ツアー代金は高いな～と思ったのでモニターツアーに参加できてよかったです
このレアさの強いツアーという意味では農場以外の場所としてワヒアワ植物園とか入場無料ですし、こういう場所の体験ができたりすると楽しいのかなと思いました

The captain and the crew were amazing! Best part was the sandbar and enjoying the view of the island.

We enjoyed the dinner and of course the main Show ..we definitely will come back again.

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. I would look down from our room and see the small area the luau was being performed in. I was skeptical because any luaus we had previously been to were done in large areas. We were all pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the staff were! The show itself was very well done and the acts were both beautiful and memorable. The setting was small and intimate. There were 9 of us total and we were all very pleased! Music and singing were great!

This was my first experience, and the Japanese crew members were very entertaining, making it a fun experience for the kids as well. The final snorkeling was a bit nerve-wracking when clouds appeared, but when it cleared up, the color of the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish. The hamburger for lunch was also quite delicious, and my 5-year-old daughter was happily eating it! I want to practice swimming more and come back again!

今回初めての体験でしたが、日本人クルーの方もとても面白く、子供達も楽しい体験ができました。
最後のシュノーケリングは雲が出てくると少しドキドキしましたが晴れると海の色がとてもキレイでお魚もいっぱい見れました。そしてランチのハンバーガーもかなり美味しくて、５歳の娘もパクパク食べていました！またもっと泳ぎを練習してまた来たいです♪

Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you

We really enjoyed the setup and the music after was great.

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.

We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.

The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.

Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!

To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

まず、メイソンキャプテンの日本語がめちゃくちゃ上手い！
耳で覚えたとのことですが、日本人より上手いんじゃないか、ってくらいのレベルでびっくりしちゃいました。

日本人は僕らだけでしたが、全部のアナウンスに和訳も添えてくれて、なのにテンポ落とさずに全員を盛り上げていて、本当にすごい人です。

客層も良く、高齢の殿方とご婦人もいらっしゃいましたが皆さんシュノーケルで5mくらいある底まで潜っていらっしゃったりしてびっくりしました。
あとパークメンバーオンリーのお手洗いを急を要していた我々のために開けてくれたりして、素敵な方々でした。

コロナ前までは3-4割は日本人のお客さんだったそうですが、アフターコロナはほとんど日本人が戻ってきてないそうです。
ただ、英語苦手な方でも本当に全く困らないし、ご飯も美味しくて最高のアクティビティだったので、是非みんな行ってみて欲しいです！

toメイソンさん
婚約者の方とお幸せに！
ありがとうございました！

Since I am learning hula dancing, watching an authentic hula show was very informative and I had a wonderful time. It was a highly satisfying event.

フラダンスを習っているので、本場のフラのショーを観てとても参考にもなりましたし、
楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました
大満足のイベントでした

Whole family enjoyed this experience. Small crowd so made it even more enjoyable. Food, alcohol drinks, drinks for the kids, food, watching the sunset out at sea, and the fireworks. The crew were welcoming and friendly, glad we made this part of our trip.

It must be tough for the guide to manage both English and Japanese, but it's tiring for us listening as well. I had a similar tour before, but there were about 10 people, so we could take our time. I wanted to see the surfers riding the waves at the North Shore. I think it's strange to expect tips. It's quite an expensive tour... I've participated in various tours before, but this one was quite disappointing.

英語と日本語のガイドでガイドさんも大変だろうけれど、聞いている私達も疲れる。
以前ほぼ同じようなツアーだったけど10人位でゆっくりとできた。
ノースショアではサーフィンの波乗りしている人達が見たかった。
チップもいる？のはおかしいと思う。
結構高額ツアーなのに・・・
今までいろいろ参加してきたけれど、だいぶ残念なツアーでした。

What a fantastic Luau! The emcee had the audience participating, laughing & entertained. The dancers and the music was outstanding! Food and drinks were simply yummy!

We purchased this event with no expectations good or bad, After a terrific meal and such a variety of good food next came a amazing show well choreographed and just plain goodtime for everyone in attendance
100% We will be back

It's quite a drive from Waikiki, but it's worth it! The nature and stunning views that you can't experience in Waikiki! And the hospitality from the staff was truly exceptional! The food was delicious, and the creative dishes were great too! There was live singing and performances, and there were parts where we could participate, which made the kids very happy! I definitely want to go again!

ワイキキからかなり車を走らせて行きますが、その価値ありです！
ワイキキでは体験できない自然と絶景！そして、スタッフの方々のおもてなし、本当に最高でした！料理も美味しく工夫を凝らした料理も良かったです！
生歌生演奏もあり、参加ができるパートもあったりと子どもも大満足でした！
是非また行きたいです！

Harasho is never boring as you can see various types of things while tracing back through history. Michael Jackson makes an appearance, and there’s a fire show, so I had a great time! The show is in English, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand English!

ハラショーは、歴史を遡りながら色々な種類のものを見ることができるので、飽きません。マイケルジャクソンが出てきたり、ファイヤショーがあるので、すごく楽しめました！ショーは英語ですが、英語がわからなくても楽しめると思います！

The atmosphere was full of aloha spirit, with performers who you can tell take so much pride in sharing the history.

The warm malasadas absolutely hit the spot after the intense climb!

Highly recommend for families looking for an authentic luau experience on Oahu!

Chief’s Luau was an unforgettable evening. The fire knife dancing finale was unbelievable!!

This tour was the perfect way to start the day in Oahu. Getting picked up early was great to get to reach Diamond Head in time for sunrise views, absolutely worth the early wake-up.

My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found the staff and guides friendly, interesting and helpful. The only disappointment was that, at the end of the tour, we could have been given more time to tour the USS Missouri.

I visit this show almost every year. This year, the cast for Presley and Michael has changed. Michael didn't resemble him very much... But the show itself is enjoyable, and I'm glad I went. I guess it's inevitable that the buffet food before the show isn't very tasty.

ほぼ毎年こちらのショーにお邪魔してます。
今年はプレスリーとマイケルのキャストの方が変っておりました。
マイケルはかなり似てなかったなぁ…
まぁでもショー自体は楽しいですし、行って良かったです。
ショー前のバイキングのお料理があまり美味しくないのが仕方ないのかな。

We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

We were a family of seven with 3 teens. We loved both tours, the ranch and catamaran cruise beautiful scenery and educational
Would highly recommend

I made a reservation to make my 78-year-old father happy! The buffet offers delicious food, and you can take as much as you can eat. The hula dance includes lessons, so everyone can participate without feeling nervous. A lovely lady playing the ukulele went around the tables singing requested songs, which was truly heartwarming! My father, who is dealing with sciatica and taking painkillers in Hawaii, had the biggest smile in a photo with the nostalgic Elvis Presley! Not only is there Old Hawaii, but the show also features Moana's hula dance. The fire dance in the VIP section is incredibly powerful!

78歳の父に喜んでほしくて予約しました！ビュッフェも美味しく食べれる量だけとれますし、フラダンスはレッスン付きでみんな一緒に緊張しないで参加できます♪
ウクレレ弾きのおばさまがテーブルを回りリクエスト曲を歌って下さり感無量になりました！
坐骨神経痛の中、ハワイで痛み止めを飲みながら過ごしている父が..懐かしのプレスリーさんとのお写真に最高の笑顔でした！
オールドハワイだけでなく、ショーにはモアナちゃんのフラダンスもあります♪ファイヤーダンスはVIP席、大迫力です！

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

I participated in a monitor tour, and the show was amazing, exceeding my expectations.

I knew it was at the Royal Hawaiian Center, but this was my first time attending. Before the show, there was a luau, and I enjoyed watching hula dancing right next to me, as well as a hula lesson that participants could join in on, which was fun.

When I arrived at the venue, I was given a lei and seated. While waiting for dinner, I enjoyed pineapple and mai tais while listening to the ukulele. However, this waiting time felt a bit long, so I thought it would be nice if the time from check-in to the start of dinner was shortened, or if there were activities like hula lessons or lei making available.

The food was plentiful, with so many varieties that I couldn't finish it all.

The show was more powerful than I expected, with exciting dances and songs while watching Hawaii's history on the screen. Even though I knew the performers were impersonators of Michael and Elvis, I was captivated by their energy. The final fire knife dance, where the floor became a sea of fire, was surprising. It's definitely worth seeing.

After the show, being able to take photos with Elvis, Michael, and the dancers makes for a great memory.

モニターツアーがあったので、参加させていただきましたが、期待以上に引き付けられるショーが最高でした。

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、あるのは知っていたのですが、今回初めて参加しました。ショーの前に、ルアウがあり、すぐ横でフラダンスがみられたり、実際に希望者が参加できるフラレッスンもあって、楽しかったです。

会場に着くと、レイをかけてもらって、席に着き、食事の時間までパイナップルとマイタイで、ウクレレを聞いたりするのですが、この間がちょっと手持無沙汰なので、受付から食事開始の時間をもう少し短くするか、フラレッスンや、レイメイキングなどがあるといいかな～とも思いました。
お料理も盛りだくさんで、食べきれないくらい、いろいろ種類がありました。

ショーは、期待以上に迫力があって、ハワイの歴史をスクリーンで見ながら、趣向を凝らしたダンスや歌で盛り上がります。マイケルやエルビスのそっくりさんのステージも、そっくりさんとわかってはいても、その迫力に魅了されました。最後のファイアーナイフダンスは、床が一面火の海になる演出もあって、びっくり。ぜひ、見る価値ありです。

ショーの後は、エルビスやマイケル、ダンサーたちと写真が撮れるのも、よい記念になります。

The local papaya appetizer with Italian prosciutto and creamy burrata cheese paired perfectly with Hawaiian honey and balsamic vinaigrette. I thought I would try to replicate it at home.
The main dish, the wood-fired steak, was tender and juicy. The local vegetables topped with red wine sauce had a natural sweetness and were very delicious.
The dessert, purple sweet potato Mont Blanc with cashew nut vanilla ice cream and macadamia nuts, was also a perfect combination.
I told the staff, "I'll come back again next year," as I left.

前菜のローカルパパイヤとイタリア産生ハム、クリーミーブラータチーズはハワイ産蜂蜜とバルサミコビネグレットとの相性が抜群でした。家でも真似してみようと思いました。
メインの薪焼きしたステーキも柔らかくてジューシー。赤ワインソースをかけたローカル野菜も野菜本来の甘みがあり、とても美味しかったです。
デザートの紫芋のモンブランとカシューナッツバニラアイス、マカデミアンナッツの相性も抜群でした。
お店の方に「来年もまたきますね」と伝えて帰りました。

Before the show, there was a buffet where we could enjoy delicious food. While waiting, there was a service that played requested songs on the ukulele. I took a little bit of everything from the dishes, and since there were many options, it turned out to be quite a lot. Additionally, there was a dance performance while we were eating, which made the meal enjoyable. The dessert afterward was also delicious. However, it took quite a while for the food to be served after the gathering time had passed. It would have been appreciated if they could have started the meal a bit earlier.

The show afterward was also fun and very lively. They performed impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. To be honest, I wasn't very familiar with Elvis Presley, but I enjoyed all of Michael Jackson's songs. The dancing was all at a high level and impressive. However, it might have been even more captivating if everyone had a similar body shape.

ショーの前にビュッフェ形式でご飯が食べられて美味しかったです。待っている間にリクエスト曲をウクレレで演奏してくれるサービスもありました。料理の方は全ての料理を少しずつ取りましたが品数が多いのでかなりの量になりました。また、ご飯食べている最中にダンスを披露してくれるので楽しくご飯が食べられました。そのあとのデザートも美味しかった。あと集合時間が過ぎてから料理が出てくるまでが結構長かったですね。もうちょっと早く食事を開始してくれるとありがたかったです。

そのあとのショーも楽しくとても盛り上がりました。エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのモノマネを披露してくれるのですが、正直エルビスプレスリーはあまり詳しくなかったのですがマイケルジャクソンの曲は全て楽しく見させていただきました。ダンスは全てレベルが高くてすごかったです。ただし、全員の体形が揃っているともっと見ごたえがあったかもしれません。
