All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Since it was my third consecutive trip to Hawaii, this time I wanted to experience something different with two ladies in their 60s, so we chose the "Rock-a-Hula Show." When we arrived about five minutes before the meeting time, I was surprised to find the dining area completely full and that everything had already started! Therefore, we ended up sitting at the very end, which was a bit disappointing. However, the whole roasted pig was incredibly tender, juicy, and delicious, and the other dishes were also satisfying. The show in the theater was truly wonderful and very engaging. Even though the impersonator of Elvis, who we remember from our youth, was just a look-alike, the quality was high, and we enjoyed it immensely. The hula and fire dance really enhanced our first night in Hawaii. I recommend that anyone participating in the tour arrive at least 20 minutes early. This way, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace and choose better seats for the show.

３年連続のハワイ旅行だったので、
今回は６０代のおばさん２人旅で今までとは違うものを味わいたいと思い、
「ロック・ア・フラショー」を選びました。
集合時間の５分ほど前に行くと、食事の会場は満席で、
すでにすべてが始まっている状態でビックリ！
ですから、一番端の席でちょっとがっかりしましたが、
初めてのまるごと豚のローストはお肉がとても柔らかく、
ジューシーで美味しかったですし、
その他のお料理も満足のいくものでした。
劇場でのショーは大変すばらしく、見ごたえがありました。
マイケルや６０代の私たちには記憶のあるプレスリーもそっくりさんとはいえクオリティーが高く大いに楽しめました。
フラもファイヤーダンスもハワイの初日の夜を盛り上げてくれました。
ただ、ツアーに参加する方は少なくとも２０分くらい前に行くことを
おすすめします。
食事もゆっくりできますし、ショーの席もいい所を選べるので。

The whole experience was being on the sandbar, which was amazing. However the tide was to our waist and it wasn't very sunny so I'd plan better for a low tide. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Don't get excited about the BBQ lunch. It was fine but frozen stacks of burgers.

The highlight of snorkeling was seeing a giant sea Turtle, beyond that the water conditions made it hard to see other fish. And I doubted the sterilization of the snorkel gear.

The instructor was great.
I felt their professionalism through their polite language and extensive knowledge.
It's a shame that the kayaking time was short, but it was a fun experience.

良いインストラクターでした
丁寧な言葉使いと
豊富な知識で
プロ意識を感じました
カヤックの時間が短かったのが残念ですが
楽しい時間でした

I signed up for the 11 AM start. They came to pick me up around 9 AM in Waikiki. It was reassuring to have a Japanese staff member with us from pick-up to drop-off. The weather wasn't great, but we encountered a sea turtle right at the start. As soon as we began snorkeling, we were able to see a pod of dolphins. It felt like we were floating on the surface while watching the dolphins swim below us.

After about 30 minutes, we got back on the boat and enjoyed hamburgers while watching the staff perform hula. I didn't have high expectations for lunch, so it was neither good nor bad. Although it was mentioned that there would be SUP and a slide, there were very few of them, so we couldn't enjoy them much.

The staff were all young and seemed to be having fun joking around the whole time.

I signed up to receive photos on a USB for $55. There were quite a few photos, but only a few of them had us looking decent. Most were pictures of strangers who were on the same boat. I wasn't sure what to do with those. Additionally, there were many photos of dolphins and sea turtles that definitely weren't from today, which was disappointing. I didn't need those kinds of photos.

１１時スタートに申込み
９時頃にワイキキにお迎えに来てくれます。
お迎えから送りまで日本人のスタッフさんがついていてくれるので安心感がありました。
天気はあまり良くなかったのですがスタートしていきなりウミガメに遭遇～
シュノーケリング始めるとすぐにイルカの群れを見ることができました。
海上にプカプカ浮きながら海中を泳いでるイルカを眺める感じでした。
３０分弱で船上にあがりスタッフのフラダンスを眺めながらハンバーガーをいただきました
ランチには期待してなかったので可もなく不可もなくといったところです。
SUPや滑り台もあると記載されてましたが数が少なく
なかなか楽しめませんでした

スタッフのみなさんお若くて
終始自分たちがふざけあって楽しんでらっしゃる

写真をUSBでもらえるので申込みましたが（55＄）
写真のボリュームはありましたが、自分たちがまともにうつってる写真は数枚
同船してた知らない人の写真ばかり
そんなのもらってもどうしてよいものか
また、絶対に今日の写真ではないイルカやウミガメの写真が盛りだくさん使われていたのにはガッカリ
こんな写真ならいらなかったです

I made a reservation for a low tide day during my stay in Hawaii. The weather was great, and it was really beautiful. The BBQ hamburgers were delicious because they grilled the meat right there, and they were huge! I was also able to see sea turtles from the boat.

It seemed that the visibility for snorkeling wasn't great that day, so we could only see around the coral reefs, but they give you bread to feed the fish, which was fun. It was a very enjoyable tour.

The bus ride was extremely cold due to the air conditioning, so it's essential to prepare for the cold.

ハワイ滞在中での干潮の日に予約しました。
天気にも恵まれすごく綺麗でした。
BBQのハンバーガーもお肉をその場で焼いてくれるのでとっても美味しかったです。しかも大きい！
海亀も船の上からですが見れました。

シュノーケリングはその日は透明度が悪かったようで珊瑚礁周りしか見えませんが、餌用にパンをくれるので魚が寄ってきたり楽しめます。
とても楽しいツアーでした。

道中のバスはエアコンがとにかく寒いので、寒さ対策は必須です。

We were picked up at our hotel, brought through a scenic drive to Kailua and Lanikai Beach. We had about 2 hours to kill at one of the most beautiful beaches on Oahu. They gave us lunch tickets, and we had the pizza. Our lunch was delicious!! The guides were great, and helped with our novice level of kayaking. The experience was great. Thanks to our guides Kendra and Chad.

We booked the Terrace Luau Buffet & Show. At the terrace, we first enjoyed cheerful songs and dances while having complimentary cocktails (non-alcoholic options are available) and pineapple. Then, the whole roasted pig made its appearance! Not only was it visually impressive, but it also tasted great.

The instructions for going to the buffet and the theater were all in English, but it was manageable (laughs). The show was packed with performances, featuring hula, Elvis, and Michael! I even got to shake hands with Elvis, who came up to the second-floor seats.

While Elvis and Michael didn't look exactly like the originals, the quality of the show was high, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Time flew by, and we had a wonderful night in Hawaii!

私たちはテラスルアウビュッフェ＆ショーを申し込みました。
テラスではまず陽気な歌と踊りを楽しみながら無料のカクテル（ノンアルコールも選べます）とパイナップルをいただきます。すると、豚の丸焼きが登場！見た目のインパクトもさることながら、味もとてもよかったです。
ビュッフェを取りに行く順番や劇場への案内はすべて英語でしたが、なんとかなります(笑)
ショーは、フラありエルビスありマイケルありで盛りだくさん！
二階席まで上がってきてくれたエルビスと握手できました。
エルビスやマイケルは、そっくり…というわけではないのですが…、ショーとして質が高く、雰囲気で楽しめます。あっという間に時間は過ぎて、楽しいハワイの夜を堪能できました！

I thought it was just an impersonation show of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but it was much more than that. It was an enjoyable experience that mixed visuals, various genres of music, and dance all the way to the end. The beauty of Hawaiian music and hula dancing was conveyed, and I had a precious time that I could only experience here. Personally, I was constantly overwhelmed by the sharpness of the dancers' movements.

エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのものまねショーだと思っていたら、それだけではなく、映像や色々なジャンルの音楽やダンスなど織り交ぜながら最後まで楽しめる内容でした。また、ハワイアン音楽やフラダンスの素晴らしさが伝わり、ここでしか味わえない貴重な時間が過ごせました。個人的には、ダンサー達の動きの切れの良さに圧倒させられっぱなしでした。

I requested to cancel my reservation at the last minute due to health issues, and thanks to the wonderful arrangement by the staff, I was able to change my schedule to the next day. Thank you so much. Thanks to that, I was able to participate in the terrace dinner and the rock and flash show, regaining my energy. It became a memorable night along with the commemorative photo ($25). I am grateful!

体調崩して直前の予約キャンセルを申し出たところ、なんとスタッフさんの素敵な計らいで翌日に日程の変更をしていただきました。ほんとうにありがとうございました。おかげさまで、テラスディナーもロック&フラショーも元気を取り戻して参加することができました。記念の写真($25)と共に良き想い出の一夜になりました。感謝で〜す。

Awesome time and great staff! Will have to do this one again next time.

I had a guided kayaking experience. In the morning, we kayaked, and in the afternoon, we borrowed bicycles and snorkeling gear to go cycling.

In the morning, we had a guided kayaking experience where the guide taught us a lot. We landed on a small island, and the guide shared interesting information about the island's wildlife, which was very enjoyable. We had the option to choose between guided or non-guided, but the guide's stories were so fascinating that I would prefer to have a guide again if I use the service in the future. The guide also took many photos for us, and we were able to receive the photo data later.

In the afternoon, after having a meal, we borrowed bicycles and cycled to Lanikai Beach. Kailua was beautiful, but Lanikai was also a wonderful place, and I was very satisfied to visit both.

When I was deciding whether to book the kayaking tour in Honolulu or Kailua, choosing Kailua was definitely the right decision. Waikiki is lovely, but I thought it would be quite difficult to get to Kailua on my own, so being able to experience the tour and enjoy the atmosphere of a different beach was fantastic. There were also various activities like Segway tours, so if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I think it would be nice to try different experiences.

ガイド付きのカヤック体験をしました。
午前中はカヤック、午後は自転車やシュノーケルの道具を借りる事ができるのでサイクリングをしました。

午前中は、ガイドの方に教えてもらいなぎらカヤック体験をしました。カヤックで小さな島に上陸し、島の生き物の事等いろいろ教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。ガイド付きか無しか選べましたが、ガイドの方のお話もとても面白く、再度利用するとしてもガイド付きにしたいな思えました。
ガイドの方が写真も沢山撮って下さり、後で写真のデータを貰うことも出来ました。

午後は、食事をした後、自転車を借りてサイクリングでラニカイビーチに行きました。カイルアも綺麗でしたが、ラニカイもとても素敵な所で、どちらにも行けて大満足です。

カヤックツアーに申し込む際に、ホノルルかカイルアか迷いましたが、カイルアにして大正解でした。ワイキキも素敵ですが、カイルアの方に自力で行くというのはなかなか難しいなと思ったので、ツアーも体験できて、違うビーチの雰囲気も楽しめて最高でした。
カヤック以外にもセグウェイ等色々あったので、またハワイに行く機会があれば、体験するものを変えて参加するのもいいなと思いました。

I enjoyed a meal while watching a Hawaiian dance (hula?) and then relaxed while watching an impersonation show, fully enjoying the Hawaiian night. Since it was located in a shopping center in the downtown area, you can go there even after shopping.

ハワイアンダンス（フラ？）を見ながら食事をとり、そのあとゆっくりものまねショウを見て、ハワイの夜を満喫しました。
中心街にあるショッピングセンターにあったので、買い物の後でも行けますよ。

Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.

The place I wanted to visit the most in Hawaii this time!! Since the selected locations were only in the Waikiki area, I stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel and walked nearby ^ - ^ I was told it would be called in both Japanese and English, but it was all in English ^ - ^
The local guide was Japanese and very cheerful and wonderful (^^) I was able to see honu (sea turtles) and it was amazing!! I also saw manta rays!!
When getting off the boat to the sandbar, it was a bit deep (about waist-deep for me at 160 cm), which surprised me, but as you go towards the center, it becomes about calf-deep! If you ask the crew or captain for photos, they take great pictures for you! They can even take you on board w
The weather was nice and it was very beautiful!!

今回のハワイでは一番行きたかったところ！！ピックされる場所が、ワイキキエリアだけだったため、アラモアナ ホテルに宿泊した私は近くまで歩きました^ - ^日本語と英語で呼ばれるってことだったけど、全部英語でした^ - ^
現地のガイドの方は日本人の方で、すごく明るくて素敵な方でした(^^)ホヌも見ることができて最高！！マンタも見れました！！
船からサンドバーに降りる時、少し深くて（160センチの私で腰くらい）びっくりしたけど、中心に行くと、ふくらはぎくらいの深さになります！クルーやキャプテンに写真を頼むと、いい感じに写真撮ってくれます！のせられますw
お天気も良くとっても綺麗でした！！

The sea turtle watching was a lot of fun, with the staff providing great support! I was lucky to see a manta ray, which only appears occasionally! They also informed us about what we could and couldn't do at the sandbar, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any danger. There were light snacks and drinks provided, making it a fulfilling tour for the price.

ウミガメウォッチングではスタッフさんがしっかりフォローしてくださりとても楽しい時間でした！
たまにしか現れないマンタにも会えてラッキーでした！
サンドバーでもやっていいことダメなことを教えて下さり、危険もなく楽しみました。
軽食やドリンクも用意されてて価格の割には充実したツアーでした。

The day began with an exciting morning call, and while rubbing my sleepy eyes, I listened to the safety instructions and equipment explanations in the stylish bus, which really got my spirits up. Above all, the high energy of the staff was infectious. With their thoughtful attention to detail and unique personalities, the atmosphere on the boat felt like a party, and it was so much fun.

At the dolphin point, I was thrilled to see dolphins swimming slowly right beneath me. At another spot, the water was so clear it felt like I was not even underwater, and I had wonderful memories swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish, losing track of time. I also enjoyed the slide, trampoline, and hula lessons, and I definitely want to participate again next time.

It's a tour that interacts with nature, but there’s so much more to enjoy beyond just the dolphins, so I highly recommend it.

*To those participating: Depending on the season, I recommend renting a wetsuit. My wife loved the logo and ended up buying it.*

Well organised and friendly tour - plenty of time at both the sandbar and the snorkel location. Lunch was great, snorkel equipment provided, highly recommend doing this activity.

I went with a group of friends and we had a blast! The staff was amazing and explained everything to us. They also reminded everyone of the importance of treating the animals with respect which made us very happy!

Since we decided to meet on-site, I will head to the venue by 6:30 PM. If you show your reservation screen at the reception, they will guide you. First, we will toast with a welcome drink, then enjoy a buffet while listening to music and watching hula performances. The dining area is right next to the reception, not inside the venue.

I thought it might be fine not to include a meal, but since there will be hula performances during the meal and the people who bring drinks are also part of the show, I think it would be nice to remember their faces for a different kind of enjoyment during the show.

After the meal, we will enter the venue and freely look at the exhibits before heading to the second-floor seating. The seating arrangement is determined by the order of entry. When we went, we were able to sit in the very front of the second floor. It seems that on the first floor, you can watch the show while dining.

The show starts with visuals, upbeat music, and hula dancing. The impersonation show is entirely in English, so if you don't understand English, you might miss some of the fun. However, the Elvis impersonator came to the second floor and even shook hands, making it a vibrant show that I would recommend for those who love glamorous performances and rock music.

Both during the meal and the show, the vibe is very American, so I had the impression that, including us, the Japanese audience might not be fully in sync. However, the dynamic stage with quick changes in costumes and stage impressions kept us entertained throughout the slightly over one-hour show, making for a wonderful and enjoyable night.

現地集合にしたので18時30分までに会場へ向かいます。
受付で予約画面を見せると案内してもらえます。
まずはウエルカムドリンクで乾杯したあとに音楽を聞きながら、フラを見ながらのバイキングです。
食事場所は会場の中ではなく受付のすぐとなりになります。

食事の内容的には付けなくてもいいかなーと思いましたが、食事中にフラを披露したりドリンクを持ってきてくれた人がショーにも出ているので、顔を覚えているとショー中も別な楽しみ方があると思います。

食事のあとは会場内に入り展示品などを自由に見てから２階席へ。入った順番で座る場所が決まります。
私たちの時は２階席の一番前に座ることができました。１階では食事をしながらショーが見れるようです。

ショーは映像と軽快な音楽とフラダンスではじまります。
ものまねショーはすべて英語なので英語がわからないと面白さは若干劣るような気がしますが、2階席までエルビスのそっくりさんが来てくれたり握手をしてくれたりするので華やかなショーやロックが好きな方にはおすすめです。

食事中もショー中もノリがアメリカンなので私たちも含め、日本人はノリ切れてないかなー？という印象でしたが、1時間ちょっとのショーの中で衣装もステージの印象も短時間で変化をさせながら迫力あるステージで最後まで飽きさせない演出はとても素晴らしく楽しい夜を過ごせました。

After completing the check-in, I was guided to my dining seat, and first up was a Mai Tai. It was great to have the option to choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Before long, a whole roasted pig made its appearance, and the buffet meal began. There was a wide variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. Hot items were served hot, and cold items were served cold, leaving me very satisfied and full.

Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive and full of service spirit, making for a very enjoyable experience. The show featured a lot, including performances by Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, hula dancing, and fire dancing. The quality was high, and I was extremely satisfied.

I will definitely go back to see it again.

受け付けを済ませると食事の席に案内され、まずはマイタイ。アルコールとノンアルコールから選べるのがありがたいです。
しばらくすると豚の丸焼き登場しバイキングの食事がスタート。
品数も豊富でどれも美味しくいただきました。
温かい物は温かく、冷たい物は冷たく、満足、お腹いっぱいになりました。
食事中も気遣いとサービス精神旺盛でとても楽しく過ごせました。
ショーもマイケル・ジャクソン、エルヴィス・プレスリー、フラダンス、ファイヤーダンス等盛りだくさん。
クオリティも高く大満足でした。
また見に行きます。

What I love about this show is its variety performance. It has hula dances, Michael Jackson, Elvis and fire eater. All the performances were very good. I love Elvis. I would have loved to see more hula dances but overall it was good. Also, I wish it was a little longer. We opted for the pre-performance buffet dinner and it was good too. The band was good as well. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is worth it. It is not the usual luau but it had a las vegas impersonators. My family enjoyed it including my teenage kids. It is for all ages. Very well choreographed. Love that it is inside an indoor theatre.

The tour was exciting, and the progress was smooth, making it enjoyable without getting bored! It was a bit cloudy due to the volcanic eruption, but I was satisfied. However, the hamburger for lunch was cold, so I would have preferred to eat it while it was warm.

ツアーの盛り上げ方、進行がスムーズで飽きずに楽しめました！噴火の影響で少し曇ってましたが、満足できました。
ただ、お昼のハンバーガーは冷めていたので
あったかいうちに食べたかったです

I thought it would be quite hard, but the guide helped us along the way and talked to us a lot, so it was really fun!! Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I definitely think you should have a guide. It became a wonderful memory! Thank you very much!

けっこうハードかなと思ってましたが、途中からガイドさんが助けてくれたり、たくさんんお話してくれたので、すごく楽しかったです！！
あいにく天気は曇り空でしたが、絶対ガイドさんはつけるべきだと思います❀✿すごくいい思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

My encounter with Presley happened when the café run by my relatives was closing down. I was told I could take as many records as I wanted from the store, and among them was a flashy record featuring Presley in a red aloha shirt, which was from Blue Hawaii. From that point on, I became completely hooked on Presley instead of the Beatles. Even though I traveled to Hawaii every year, I avoided impersonations, but on my family's recommendation, I saw a show for the first time. Presley was, of course, amazing, and some of the dancers reminded me of the times I danced when I was young, creating wonderful memories.

プレスリーとの出会いは、親族の経営する喫茶店が閉店することになり、店で使用していたレコード、好きなだけ持って帰っていいと言われその中に、赤いアロハシャツを着た派手なレコードがあり、それがブルーハワイのプレスリーでした、それからはビートルズではなくプレスリーに完全にはまり込みました、それだけに、毎年ハワイに旅行に行っても、物まねは嫌と避けていましたが、家族のすすめで初めてショウーを見てプレスリーは勿論素晴らしかったし、ダンサー達の何人かは幼い時に踊っていたときを思い出させてくれて、すばらしい思い出になりました。

I highly recommend this show. It is one of a kind show. It is a luau with Las Vegas flare. I particularly loved Elvis. I wish he could have sang some more songs but it was still a great show. All the performances were outstanding. The band was good too. Also the fire dance was great. My kids enjoyed it. Do not hesitate to watch the show. When I come back to Honolulu I want to watch it again. We had the dinner buffet before the show and the food was great too. It included a free maitai. I also like that it was in an enclosed theatre. Rock a hula, you rock. I would not hesitate to watch it again.

The fireworks were very beautiful.
The boat was small, and I mistakenly made a reservation thinking it was a dinner cruise on a large ship.

花火はとても綺麗でした。
船が小さく、大型船でのディナークルーズと勘違いして予約してしまいました。

It was different from the image of the impersonation rock show that was on TV about seven years ago. Neither Elvis nor Michael looked alike at all, and their singing and voices were not similar, which was disappointing! However, the surrounding band and dancing were very good!

７年位前にコマーでやっていたモノマネロックショウのイメージとは違いました。エルビスもマイケルも全く顔も似ていないし歌も声も似て居なくてガッカリ！しかし周りのバンド、踊りはとても良かった！

All day excursion. Wonderful experience. Our guide, Stau, was enthusiastic, fun, and knowledgeable. The different villages, with all of the friendly people, entertainment, and learning opportunities were well done. The luau was good. The Ha, Breath of Life show was amazing. Will go again next time I visit Hawaii. Thanks so much for the experience.

I simply went at the reserved time with my online booking, and since the payment was already settled, I just sat down and enjoyed my lunch. The meal included a choice of two types of pasta, along with an appetizer of green salad and bread (served with olive oil), which was delicious. The staff who spoke Japanese were very kind and attentive.

ネット予約で予約時間に行くだけで支払いも精算済なので、席に座って食べるだけのランチタイムでした。
料理は、2種のパスタから選択で前菜のグリーンサラダやパン（オリーブオイル
付けて食べます）も出てきて、おいしく頂きました。
日本語話せるスタッフが親切に応対して頂きました。

This was a great show. We have been to luaus before and we promise not to do it again because we feel that they are way overpriced but we decided to gamble on this one since it had great reviews and it sounded different with the rock and roll and boy it did not disappoint. Our whole party of 6 really enjoyed the show from beginning to end. I highly recommend this show to everyone. My favorite was Elvis. Its like watching Vegas in Hawaii. The buffet dinner was good too. The roast pork was great. They also had tofu and other vegetables for my vegan daughter. Very well organized and everybody was great.
