All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

This time, my 5-year-old son and I participated in a 30-minute children's experience course, while my husband and our 7- and 9-year-old daughters joined a 1-hour horseback riding experience. Everyone unanimously agreed that it was wonderful and fun! My 7-year-old daughter was deeply moved, reflecting that in Japan, at my age, they wouldn't let her ride alone for an hour. The horses were truly smart, and my daughters handled the reins like pros. My husband mentioned that riding for a full hour through the hilly pastures and mountain paths would be a great, great, great satisfaction for beginners and children.

During my 30-minute ride, I was on a big horse, not a pony. My 5-year-old son was initially surprised but was thrilled to ride the same horse as the adults. Since he is only 5, a female staff member accompanied him to lead the horse. We went up and down a small hill as well. Although my daughters and husband couldn't ride, they were able to walk alongside us during the hour-long course. It was so enjoyable that the time flew by. One thing to keep in mind is that while there are supermarkets and convenience stores on the way, it's better to bring drinks with you in advance. The restrooms were relatively clean.

It takes about an hour to drive from Waikiki with a rental car. I also recommend having lunch at Giovanni’s in Kafuku, which is near the ranch, for their garlic shrimp!

今回、３０分の子供向け体験コースを５歳の息子と私で、7歳、９歳の娘達と主人が1時間の体験乗馬に参加させて頂きました。全員声をそろえて気持ち良かった～楽しかった〜！！でした。７歳の次女が、日本だったら私の歳で１人で１時間も乗してくれないよねぇとしみじみ感動して噛み締めていました。本当に賢い馬達で、娘たちの手綱さばきもいっちょ前さんに見えました。主人が言うには、上り下りもある牧草地や山道をじっくり1時間かけて乗馬するので初心者や子供達に大、大、大満足な1時間だと思うと言っていました。
私が参加した３０分は、ポニーではなく、大きなお馬さんでした。５歳の息子は最初驚きましたが、大人と同じ馬に乗れる事に大喜びしていました。5歳なので、女性の方が１人ついて、馬を引いてくれます。ちょっとした坂道の上り下りもいきます。また、乗馬はできませんが、１時間コースの娘たちや主人も一緒に歩いてついてこれました。楽しくて、あっという間の時間でした。気をつける事は、行くまでにスーパーやコンビニなどありますが、事前に飲み物は持っていった方が良いと思います。トイレも比較的綺麗でした。
ワイキキからレンターカーして１時間位です。牧場の近くのKafuku（カフク）のGiovanni’s（ジョバンニ）でガーリックシュリンプでランチもお勧めですよ

I took a taxi to the location. This restaurant has a beautiful view from the windows, so I think it's essential to make a reservation if you want to take photos by the window. We were also seated by the window, but unfortunately, we were at the very corner table where all the window panes overlapped, and there was a pillar, which was quite disappointing. I wanted to enjoy a view that wasn't obstructed by the glass.

Additionally, I showed the voucher for the reserved meal and seat at the entrance, but for some reason, I was asked to look at the menu and choose, so I communicated in my limited English that the meal was already reserved. The food that came out was very delicious.

現地まではタクシーで行きました。
こちらのレストランはやはり窓からの眺める景色なので、窓側で写真を撮りたい方は、必ず予約した方がいいと思います。
わたしたちも窓側の席に案内されましたが、1番隅の席で、ちょうど全ての窓ガラスが重なり、柱もある席だったので正直とてもがっかりしました。窓ガラス越しではない眺めを堪能したかったです。
また、入り口で料理と席の予約済み、支払い済みのバウチャーを見せましたが、なぜかメニューを見せられどれにするか聞かれた為、拙い英語で既に料理は予約済みだと伝えました。
出てきた料理はとても美味しかったです。

It was wonderful to be on the bay! I enjoyed swimming at the sandbar , beautiful views and the sea turtles. The aloha spirit was ever present. I love Oahu. Enjoy your tour!!

Before moving to Waianae Harbor, there was an explanation (in English and Japanese), and I signed a consent form on an iPad. There was enough time to take a nap during the transfer.

The reason I booked this tour was because it was described as "a healing tour to swim with wild dolphins in the sea!" However, in reality, diving was prohibited. It was more of a dolphin watching experience while snorkeling. The life jackets were the type that hang around the neck and were mandatory (you could deflate them). On December 13th, the water quality was poor and murky, possibly due to high waves. The dolphins were mostly deep down and only faintly visible (the staff would say, "Look down!!"). They didn't come close at all, and it ended quickly. After that, we moved to the snorkeling point where we could enjoy SUP, sea kayaking, and a slide. However, the snorkeling point we went to had nothing. There were no corals, no turtles, and only a few fish were spotted. I later heard that the captain decides which snorkeling points to go to, but this was just too disappointing.

For lunch, we had a pre-made cheeseburger with taro buns wrapped in foil. The buns were a bit sweet, so preferences may vary. There were also chips. Drinks included free water and lemonade on board (on December 13th, there was warm tea, possibly because it was cold). There were also restrooms available. If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take something (three people vomited and were down). On the way back to the harbor, there was hula and ukulele performance, and the staff's effort to entertain was nice. Some people bought a USB with photos and videos during the ride, as there was a $5 discount, but it's important to think carefully about whether you'll see dolphins, whether you might get seasick, or whether the weather might prevent you from getting good photos before purchasing in advance. The eco bags were probably only for those who purchased the USB. I didn't receive anything. Honestly, I didn't feel that the service was worth the tour fee of $156.

I understand that it's wild and natural, but I was disappointed by the discrepancies between the description and the actual experience.

ワイアナエハーバーに移動するまでに説明(英語&日本語)があり、ipadで同意書？に記入します。移動には仮眠できるほどの時間があります。
今回こちらのツアーを予約したのは説明文にある＂海で野生のイルカと一緒に泳ぐ癒しのツアー！＂と記載されていたからです。実際は潜る潜水行為禁止。イルカウォッチングをシュノーケルしながらの形になります。ライフジャケットは首からさげるタイプで着用義務(エアーは抜くことができます)。12/13は波が高かったのもあるのか水質は悪く濁っていました。イルカはずっと下の方に居てうっすらと見える程度(スタッフが＂Look down!!＂と教えてくれます)。近くに寄って来てくれることもなく。あっという間に終了。その後シュノーケルポイントに移動しSUPやシーカヤック、滑り台などを楽しめます。しかし、行ったシュノーケルポイントはなんにもない所でした。珊瑚もなければ亀は居ない、魚は数匹みかけた程度。後から聞いた話ではいくつかあるシュノーケルポイントをキャプテンの判断で決めるそうですが、これが、あまりに酷すぎでした。その後お昼ご飯は事前に作られホイルで包まれたタロイモのバンズでできたチーズバーガー。バンズは少し甘めで好みがあると思います。おまけにチップス。飲み物は船内に自由に飲めるお水とレモネードがあります(12/13は寒かった為か暖かいお茶もありました)。トイレも完備されています。船酔いを心配されている方は飲んだ方がいいです(3名嘔吐してダウンしてました)。ハーバーまでの帰り道にフラやウクレレ演奏があり、スタッフの楽しませようとしてくれる雰囲気は良かったです。行きの車内で写真と動画のUSBを購入すると$5割引になる為購入している方がいましたが、イルカに会えるかもわからない、船酔いしてダウンするかもしれない、天気が悪く良い写真が撮れていないかもしれない事をよく考えた上で事前購入しましょう。エコバッグはおそらくUSB購入者だけです。何ももらえませんでした。正直私はツアー代金$156の見合ったサービスを受けられたとは思いませんでした。
野生と自然相手なので仕方ないですが、説明文と食い違う内容にはがっかりしました。

The weather on the day we went was a bit disappointing, and it was cold when we went into the sea (laughs), but we were able to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was really fun with so many fish! The ocean was truly beautiful! The hamburgers we ate on the boat were also delicious!!

行った日の天気が少し残念で、海に入るとき寒かったですが(笑)ウミガメも見れましたし、シュノーケリングも本当に魚がたくさんでとても楽しかったです！
海が本当にキレイでした！
船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです！！

It was truly a tour that I’m glad I went on!

First, we entered before the general public. It felt a bit exclusive! While I was a little nervous with the English guidance, we made our way to the green room. After taking photos, we enjoyed appetizers, fruits, and nuts while sipping drinks, spending a luxurious time! The backstage tour was entirely in English, but just being able to see the rarely seen behind-the-scenes was so much fun and exciting! It was really interesting!

After that, we had a leisurely dinner. The food and cocktails were both delicious! And then came the much-anticipated showtime! We were seated right in the front, so close that it felt like we could reach out and touch the performers, and I was so excited!!!

After the show, we took lots of photos and got autographs, and it was truly enjoyable.

We went on our honeymoon, and I didn’t expect to experience such a special feeling, so it was a wonderful tour that will remain in our memories!

本当に行って良かったと思えるツアーでした！

まずは一般のお客さんよりも先に入場。少し優越感！
英語での案内で少したじたじになりながら、グリーンルームへ。写真撮影後、前菜やフルーツ、ナッツを食べて、お酒を飲みながら贅沢な時間を過ごしました！
バックヤードツアーはひたすら英語だったけど、滅多に見られない舞台裏を見て回るだけでとても楽しかったし、わくわく！面白かった〜〜！
その後はゆっくりディナータイム。食事もカクテルもとても美味しい！
そしてお待ちかねのショータイム！
一番前の席で手が届きそうになるくらい近くて、とても興奮しました！！！
ショーの後もたくさん写真を撮って、サインももらって、本当に楽しかったです。

新婚旅行で行きましたが、こんな特別感が味わえるなんて思ってなかったので、思い出に残る素敵なツアーでした！

The tour schedule itself was quite fulfilling. However, on the day I participated, I was unfortunate as the tides were high and the waves were strong, resulting in about 1 meter of water on the sandbar. The shallowest part was up to my chest (I am 158 cm tall). It was colder than the scenery I had seen in photos, but I told myself it couldn't be helped. The snorkeling and sea turtle watching afterward were beyond my expectations. I was able to see many sea turtles, and it was my first time seeing such a large coral reef. The water level on the sandbar changes depending on the day, but I believe it's worth participating.

ツアー自体のスケジュールはかなり充実していました。ただ、私の参加した日は運が悪く、潮の満ち引きが大きく波が高かったため、サンドバーの水浸が1mほどありました。一番浅くて私の胸まで海に浸かっている状態です。(身長158cm)写真で見ていた風景とは異なり寒かったですが、それは仕方ないと言い聞かせました。そのあとのシュノーケリング、ウミガメウォッチングは想像以上のものでした。ウミガメもたくさん見ることができましたし、あれほど大きなサンゴ礁をみたのも初めてでした。日によってサンドバーの水浸が変わりますが、参加して損はないと思います。

I participated in the VIP course alone.

First, it's better to arrive earlier than the meeting time. There are some light snacks served at the cocktail reception. I arrived right on time and was immediately guided to the show venue.

The food is delicious. The meat is tender and easy to eat, even for the elderly. However... the portions are small, haha. So it's a good idea to eat the snacks at the cocktail reception beforehand, haha.

As for the show, fans of Elvis might enjoy it.

VIPコースに一人参加。

まず、集合時間より早めに行った方が良い。
カクテルレセプションで、ちょっとしたおつまみが出る。
私は時間ピッタリに着いてしまい、すぐにショー会場に案内されました。

食事は美味しい。
肉も柔らかく、高齢者でも食べやすい。
ただ・・・量が少ないw
だからカクテルレセプションのおつまみを食べておいた方が良いw

ショーは、エルビスのファンなら楽しめるかも。

It was sunny, but there was some wind and it was occasionally cloudy, so I was a bit hesitant to go into the sea. The sandbar was deep enough to reach my knees. Everyone was enjoying beach volleyball and taking photos there. I was glad that I didn't get wet up to my shoulders at that time. After getting back on the boat, it was cold and I was shivering. The BBQ lunch on the boat was delicious. We also saw sea turtles and were able to see fish while snorkeling. However, the strong wind made it difficult to swim as I had hoped.

晴れてはいたんですが風があったり時々曇ったり、海に入るにはちょっと抵抗がありました。サンドバーは膝上まで浸かるほどでした。そこでみんなはビーチバレーや写真を撮ったり楽しんでました。その時は肩まで濡れなくてよかったと思います。船に上がったあと寒くて震えます。船上でのBBQランチは美味しかったです。ウミガメも見れたし、スノーケリングでも魚も見れました。ただ、風が強いのでなかなか思ったように泳げませんでした。

The sailing departure was at six o'clock, but it wasn't immediately followed by dinner. It was a buffet style; the taste was okay, and the variety was decent. There were many locals, and only two groups of Japanese. Of course, the announcements were only in English. The boat just wandered around Waikiki Beach. The actual fireworks started at 7:45, so it was boring until then. The boat was rocking, so I didn't want to drink too much, and I didn't eat much either. The fireworks lasted only about five minutes, just a star mine. I was disappointed because I had the impression that they would last much longer, like in Japan.

セーリングの出航は六時からでしたが、そのあとすぐディナーというほどではなく、バイキング形式、味はまあまあ、種類はそこそこ
現地の方が多く日本人は二組でした。もちろん英語での案内のみ
船はワイキキビーチをうろうろしているだけです。
実際の花火の始まりは７時４５分からなので、それまで退屈
船も揺れますから酒に酔うといけないし、食べ物もたくさん食べませんでした。花火の上がる時間は５分そこそこ、スターマインが上がるだけです。
日本では長い時間あがる感覚でいたのにがっかりでした。

After about 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bus from Ala Moana, I finally arrived at a peaceful ranch for a horseback riding experience. The experience started at 11:00, and check-in was at 10:30. Since it was mentioned that it was a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I took an earlier bus and arrived by 9:15.

I was surprised to arrive so early, but I was able to relax and take a nap on a bench at the ranch until 10:30. Perhaps because it was a weekday, we were the only ones there, making it a private horseback riding stroll. Since Japanese was not spoken, I did my best to communicate in English. It was okay not to wear a helmet, and I received a brief explanation before getting on the horse right away!

It was very smooth and hassle-free, which was great, but it might not be suitable for those who want a thorough safety briefing in Japanese or for first-timers.

After about 50 minutes of exploring the ranch, I was able to take photos in a spot with a great view. I was really glad it didn't rain. It was a wonderful horseback riding experience that refreshed my spirit!

アラモアナからザバスに乗って1時間45分くらい、やっとついたのどかな牧場で乗馬体験してきました。
11:00からの体験で10:30チェックイン、バス停から少し歩くとなっていたので、早めのバスに乗って行き、9:15にはついてしまいました。
早くつきすぎてビックリされてしまいましたが、10:30まで牧場のベンチでゆっくりお昼寝しできました。
平日だったからか、私たちしかいなく、プライベートな乗馬散歩になりました(^^)
日本語は通じないので、英語で頑張ってコミュニケーションとりました。ヘルメットしないでもokとのことで、本当に短時間でサラッと説明を受けてすぐ乗馬！
とてもスムーズで面倒くさくなくて良かったのですが、日本語でしっかり安全講習受けたい人や初めての人には向かないかもしれません。

50分くらい牧場内を散策して、見晴らしがいいところで写真も撮ってもらえました。
雨が降らなくて本当に良かったです(^o^)
心が洗われるステキな乗馬体験でした！

I went in November.
We took a bus to the location, and the scenery was enjoyable along the way.
After arriving at the port, we took a short restroom break before departing.

The sandbar had water up to my knees, and we practiced snorkeling and took photos.
The guide took some pictures for us, which became great memories.

The hamburger for lunch was substantial and very delicious.

After lunch, we swam for about an hour at the snorkeling spot.
It seems some people got stung by jellyfish, but the fish and corals were beautiful, and I was very satisfied.

I previously participated in a dolphin tour, but this tour offered more freedom, allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves.

11月に行ってきました。
バスで現地まで向かうのですが、楽しく景色を案内していただきました。
港についてからは、少しトイレ休憩して出発します。

サンドバーは膝程度の海面で
シュノーケリングの練習をしたり写真をとったりしました。
ガイドのお姉さんに写真を撮っていただきとてもいい記念になりました。

またランチのハンバーガーはボリュームがあり
とても美味しかったです。

ランチ後はシュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほど泳ぎます。
クラゲに刺された方もいるようですが
お魚もサンゴも綺麗で大変満足しました。

以前はイルカツアーに参加しましたが
こちらのツアーのほうが自由度が高く
のんびりとすることができて楽しかったです。

My husband and I attended the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise on 12/06/17. When we had First checked in we were greeted by a nice lady and apologized and told my husband he was not wearing the proper attire for the night. He was wearing khakis and flip flops. The nice thing is they were accommodating going so far as letting borrow shoes and pants for the night. I was so happy cuz we had limited time and wouldn’t be able to reschedule. And it was my fault at not looking for a dress code when I booked it. Once we got on the boat we were greeted by the captain! He was super nice and well dressed (everybody was). The dancers, entertainment and food was AMAZING! Not to mention the excellent customer service they made sure they took care of all our needs. We will definitely do this again whenever we come back! Must do!!!

I went to see the show at my husband's request. We had front-row seats. It was a rare experience to see the expressions of Elvis, Katy, and the dancers up close, creating wonderful memories. There was also a backstage tour before the show, where we could touch the costumes and props used on stage, providing an experience that we wouldn't normally have. We had plenty of time for meals, and I enjoyed the course-style dishes that were served, which was also satisfying. Additionally, the hospitality from the staff was pleasant and exceptional.

My mother (in her 60s) and I (in my 30s) participated in the Rock-a-Hula show (backstage tour).
About the food… The appetizers we had in the green room were delicious. I only ate a little bit to save room for dinner, but I wish I had eaten more. The dinner itself was average in taste, but the presentation was vibrant and really captured the Hawaiian vibe.
About the backstage tour… Neither of us speaks English at all (we're not good at it, dislike it, and try to avoid it as much as possible), but they spoke slowly using simple words, so we were able to understand. Even if you don't understand English, I think you can enjoy looking at the performers' costumes, microphones, and stage lighting.
About the seating… We had seats in the center, the closest to the stage. It wasn't too close to the point where we couldn't see; we could see everything well.
About the show… I only recognized two songs, but my mother seemed to know almost all of Elvis's songs and was very happy. It was a shame that Michael wasn't there that day (both my mother and I are fans of Michael).
I also saw hula dancing for the first time, and it was fun, while the fire dance was incredibly powerful, to the point where I was worried about fire coming towards us! I enjoyed the fire dance the most during the show.
About the service… I arrived more than 20 minutes before the check-in time, but while sitting on a bench before check-in, a female staff member who spoke Japanese (I think she was an Asian dancer) approached us and explained that we could check in early and that we should move to the area near the outdoor stage once the show started. She was very polite and kind.
Overall… Both my mother and I had a great time. We were excited from the night we arrived, and it feels like we will continue to have fun from the next day! Participating was definitely the right choice!

母(60代)と私(30代)の２人でロックアフラショー(バックステージツアー)に参加しました。
食事について…。グリーンルームで食べたアペタイザーがおいしかったです。ディナーに備えてほんの少〜ししか食べなかったのですがもっと食べればよかったです。ディナー自体は、味は普通でしたが見た目が鮮やかでハワイ気分を満喫できました。
バックステージツアーについて…。２人とも全く英語ができない(苦手だし嫌いだしなるべく避けて通りたい)ですが簡単な単語でゆっくり話してくれるので私達でも聞き取れました。また、英語が分からなくても出演者の衣装やマイク、ステージ照明など見て楽しめると思います。
席について…。ステージから１番近い中央の席でした。近すぎて見づらいと言うこともなくちゃんと全体を見渡せます。
ショーについて…。モノマネは、私は知っている曲が２曲しかありませんでしたが、母はプレスリーの曲はほぼ全て知っていたようで喜んでいました。この日はマイケルがいなかったのが残念でした(私も母もマイケルのファンです)。
フラダンスも初めて見ましたが楽しかったですし、ファイヤーダンスはものすごい迫力で、こちらに火が飛んでこないかと不安になるくらいでした！私はショーの中でファイヤーダンスが１番楽しめました。
サービスなどについて…。受付開始時刻の20分以上前に着いてしまったのですが、受付前のベンチに座っていると、日本語を話す女性スタッフ(アジア系のダンサーの方だと思います)が声をかけてきてくれて、受付はもうできること、外のステージのショーが始まったらそのステージ付近に移動すればよいこと等、説明してくれました。とても丁寧で親切でした。
全体を通して…。母も私も楽しめました。到着日の夜からテンションがあがって、翌日からも楽しめそうな予感！！参加して大正解でした！！

We participated as a couple in a plan organized by an acquaintance. At first, I thought it would just be a casual event enjoying music while having a meal, but they played nostalgic songs one after another, and both my spouse and I had a wonderful time. Our seats were arranged in the same group as our acquaintance, and we were able to spend special moments with friends over drinks and food before the show started. The meal was luxurious and delicious. I realized that there are such enjoyable experiences to be had on a trip to Hawaii, and I am grateful for this tour and my acquaintance.

知人の企画で夫婦での参加となりました。最初は食事をしながら音楽を楽しむ程度のものかと思っていましたが、昔流れていた音楽が次々と繰り広げられ、懐かしい気持ちで夫婦共々楽しんでいました。座席も知人と同じグループとしてアレンジしていただき、ステージが始まる前の時間もドリンクや食事で友人との特別な時間を過ごすことが出来き、食事も豪華で美味しくいただけました。ハワイ旅行でこういった楽しみ方もあるのだなと、このツアーと知人に感謝の気持ちです。

I often visit live venues in Japan, but I decided to attend this show for the memories of Hawaii. Upon entering through the VIP entrance, I was greeted by a performer resembling Katy Perry, and I was overwhelmed by her doll-like appearance as we all took a commemorative photo together. I was guided to the front row right below the stage, where a wonderful meal was served one after another. When crab was brought out, the staff promptly removed the shells for us, allowing us to enjoy a very pleasant and delicious dinner.

As the show began, there were performances of Elvis, Michael, Katy, and Hawaiian performers, seamlessly blending with oldies that even Japanese people are familiar with, all accompanied by wonderful music. The quality of the singing was very high, and the performers often came down into the audience, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

I have experienced a real Michael stage performance before, but I believe this is not just an impersonation show; it is a splendid example of American entertainment.

私は、日本でもよくライブ会場に足を運びますが、ハワイの思い出にこのショーに参加してみました。VIP専用の入り口から入るとケイティ・ペリーのパフォーマーがお出迎え、まるでお人形のような容姿に圧倒されながら、皆で記念写真。ステージすぐ下の最前列に案内され、素敵な食事が次々と運ばれてきます。蟹が出てきたときには、すかさずスタッフが殻を外してくれて、とても気持ちがよく美味しいディナーをいただきました。
ステージが始まると、エルビス、マイケル、ケティにハワイアンパフォーマーと息もつかさず、日本人でもよく耳にしたオールディズが素敵な演奏とともに繰り広げられました。皆さん歌のクオリティも非常に高く、よく会場にも降りてきてくれますので、楽しめます。
本物のマイケルのステージも体験したこともありますが、これは単なるモノマネショーではなく、立派なアメリカンエンターテイメントだと思います。

Had an early morning rideat 9:00am. We got three a not earthly, but played with the Sadie and the time flew by! She was such a sweetie. The guide, Grace, was very friendly and informative. The horses felt very safe and well cared for. The views were phenomenal as even though it rained a bit, it was a wonderful experience. We drove from ko orona resort and it took about 1 hour in light traffic. We let the calves,goats,sheep afterwards. It was a blast and i would definitely recommend it. As a beginner, I felt very safe and the horses behaved perfectly! There's great lunch in north shore at Ted's and we also got to watch the big waves while in town.

I heard from a friend who has seen various shows in Hawaii that the Hilton's luau was absolutely fantastic, so I decided to go.

The day before, there was heavy rain, and I was worried it might be canceled (it mentioned indoor seating), but on the day itself, it was beautifully clear. However, since it was going to be evening, a jacket was necessary. With guaranteed front-row seats, we also had priority for the buffet, and an extra drink was included, so we really enjoyed the meal.

There were couples from all over the world celebrating their honeymoons and silver anniversaries, and it was fun to chat with everyone at the same table. Our seats were the fourth row from the front, and the dancers were visible from all directions, so I had no particular complaints. However, I was a bit put off by the amusement park-style photo sales.

Whether you go early or not doesn't make much of a difference, but I'm glad I opted for the guaranteed seating.

After 25 years, we traveled to Hawaii as a couple. We were torn between a sunset cruise and the "Rock-a-Hula Show," but decided on the show since it can be enjoyed regardless of the weather! The location was easy to find and very convenient, so we got there without any trouble.

Having read other people's comments, I had a general idea of what to expect. We exchanged our tickets on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. When we waited at the entrance at 6 PM, the hula dance suddenly began, and those with VIP wristbands were invited inside. (Throughout the backstage tour, everything was conducted in English.)

First, we enjoyed a welcome drink and fruit and nuts in the VIP room called the Green Room, where we had a photo opportunity with the female lead singer, and they later presented us with the photo in a frame.

We got to see the costume Elvis Presley wore in Las Vegas, the entrance to the dressing room, and even stood on the actual stage—it was a dreamlike experience.

When we moved to our seats, we had an excellent view right in the front and center, very close to the stage! We first enjoyed a leisurely dinner before the show. The meal included drinks, lobster, bread, steak, salmon, dessert, and coffee, with portions fit for an adult male. (The VIP course has the food served first, so you can eat at a relaxed pace.)

After dinner, the show finally began. The entertainment included hula dancing, fire dancing, female singers, and an Elvis Presley stage show, all of very high quality.

The audience was engaged, with the performers even coming around for handshakes, creating a unified atmosphere of enjoyment.

People of all ages can enjoy this experience!

One downside was that if there had been a Japanese interpreter for the backstage tour, I would have rated it a perfect score.

一つ残念なのは、バックステージツアーに日本語通訳があれば、満点にしたいところです。

I participated in December, and it was a bit cold, but the sea was beautiful and the scenery was amazing. I was able to see sea turtles, and it was great to see many small fish while snorkeling. It was just a bit cold since it was December.

12月参加で、ちょっと寒かったですがなんと言っても海がキレイで景色が最高でした。海ガメもみれて、シュノーケリングでは小魚もたくさん見れて良かったです。ただ12月だったのでちょっと寒かったです。

It was a rock show after 20 years. Elvis was as cool as ever. It was disappointing that Michael Jackson was absent. Katy was cute too ❤️ She used to be Madonna, right?

２０年ぶりのロックアショー。エルビスは相変わらずカッコ良かったです。マイケルジャクソンが欠席だったのが残念でした。ケーティも可愛かった❤️昔はマドンナだったよね〜

This is a review by an advanced rider, 1 intermediate and 2 beginners. First the drive from the west of the island takes about an hour to an hour and a half, but it's just beautiful. Our tour was in December and scheduled for 9am as a 1 hour walking tour. We arrived a bit early due to traffic being light. When we arrived, the staff greeted us and explained that they will need to grab the horses and tack up so we could wait by the picnic tables and the bathrooms were behind us. We had no problem waiting and a sweet dog named Sadie came to play fetch with us. It started to rain a bit once the horses were ready, we hadn't brought jackets but it wasn't very cold and it ended fairly quick. The guide asked our experience and explained how to ride to all of us and then began matching horses to people. I think she did an absolutely fabulous job. The tour started and each pair went along nicely and the guide was very informative about the ranch, landscape, and area. She was very friendly. The terrain and landscapes were just beautiful. Green everywhere, big green mountains with billowing clouds draping down them. Each rider enjoyed it, the horses kept the beginners so safe, and mine listened to my light cues well. The guide told us the trails run all over the ranch, so they don't always go on the same trails, this is what makes it great to me. You don't feel like you're on just another head to tail pony ride. It felt personal, it was beautiful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All in all, 10 out of 10! I recommend anyone looking for a horseback riding ride in oahu to here, get the morning tour, and relax in north shore afterwards. (great food is at any food truck)

We were picked up on time by a very professional and knowledgeable driver who explained everything we needed to know before entering Pearl Harbor. We had time to visit the museum buildings which included many relics from the era and the gift shop before entering the building where a short film is seen. We then boarded a boat piloted by military personnel who brought us to the memorial. Once we entered the memorial we we asked to keep conversations to a whisper to respect the souls below. It was a very humbling moment for us all. We were then taken back to shore and boarded our bus to head to the Missouri. We were told NOT to take any pictures while driving they the military base until we got to the Missouri, There are lots of places to have a quick meal before and after boarding the Ship. Once you're on the ship you can go out on your own or take a free guided tour which I would suggest. because all of the important areas like where the surrender took place. After the tour you will still have time to walk about the ship and to go beneath to view crew quarters and other areas of interest. After leaving the ship we boarded our bus, picked up our bags and purses at the locker area (not allowed at Pearl Harbor) and headed to the Punch Bowl for a short drive thru to pay our respects then to our hotels. This was a very informative tour done by a great drive who also acted as the tour guide. He didn't miss a thing and made us feel that we were back un the day with his presentation. His company would be very proud of him!!

I think there were too many people. I would have liked them to split us into two boats to distribute the number of people. Even when trying to watch the hula dance, it was hard to see because the staff were filming videos on their smartphones. Especially since I was alone, I often felt overlooked. I would have appreciated a bit more consideration.

人数が多すぎると思います。船を2つに分けて人数を振り分けて欲しかったです。フラダンスを見ようにも従業員がスマホで動画撮っており見ずらかったです。特に１人なので忘れられることが多かったです。もう少し気配りがほしかったです

This time, I participated with five friends from childhood (71 years old). When I mentioned that I had gone to see the show for the third time with my wife this October, they expressed a strong desire to see it as well, so they joined. I was amazed by the high quality and the spectacular stage, and we all had a great time. I was surprised that, apart from Elvis, the performers had changed since I saw it in October, and some parts of the show were different as well. Everyone had a wonderful time.

今回は幼馴染の男女5人での参加でした（71歳）今年の10月に妻と3回目の観ショーをした旨の話をしたところ是非とも観たいとの事で参加いたしました。そのクオリィティーの高さとショーアップされたステージに驚くとともに大盛り上がりで楽しんでおりました。10月に観た時と
エルビス以外は出演者も替っておりショーも一部分変わっていたのには驚きでした。
全員楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

The beautiful sea and delicious hamburgers were the best! The staff were fun and explained everything clearly, and they even took photos for us, which made it a lot of fun. It was a bit chilly for the season, but I appreciated that they had warm drinks available.

I intended to pack light, but since we could leave our things on the bus and the boat, I thought I could have brought a few more towels. On the way back, I was quite cold in the bus's air conditioning while still in my swimsuit.

I want to visit again during a warmer season!

綺麗な海に美味しいハンバーガー最高でした！スタッフの皆さん楽しい方達で説明も分かりやすく、写真を撮ってくださったりとても楽しめました。時期的に少し寒かったのが残念ですが、あったかい飲み物も用意してくださって助かりました。
荷物は少なくしていこうと思って行ったのですが、バスの移動 船に置いたりできるので もう少しバスタオル多くても良かったなと思いました。帰りは水着のまま帰るので、バスの冷房で結構冷えました。
次は暖かい時期に行ってみたいです！

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We participated in a tour that is known for its unique hula dance show. During the initial backyard tour, we were greeted by an Elvis impersonator as a surprise. Although it wasn't the real Elvis, it felt like we had met a star.

After that, the dinner show began. The dinner was surprisingly filling, and we were very satisfied.

Then the show started. The hula dance show set to the songs of classic stars like Elvis and Michael Jackson was an impressive stage performance unlike anything I had seen before. Personally, I was most captivated by the fire dance. I recommend this for anyone looking to see a unique show.

新婚旅行でハワイにいきました。一風変わったフラダンスショーが見れると話題の当該ツアーに参加。最初のバックヤードの案内では、プレスリーのそっくりさんが出迎えてくれてるサプライズ。本人ではないですが、思わずスターに会った気分でした。
その後、ディナーショーが始まりました。ディナーも以外とボリューミーで大満足でした。
そしてショーが始まりました。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンと往年のスターの曲に合わせたフラダンスショーは今まで見たことがない迫力のステージでした。個人的にはファイヤーダンスに一番夢中になりました。ちょっと変わったショーが見たい方にはおすすめです。

I signed up for the monitor tour on the last day of my trip, which included dinner. As a VIP, I was able to peek into the backstage, enjoy welcome champagne, and participate in a behind-the-scenes tour, which made it feel special (*^^*). The food was also delicious! The show itself had front-row seats, and I recommend it for those who enjoy a lively atmosphere! The VIP seats included opportunities for handshakes and kisses on the cheek. It might be great for those who want to experience something unique in a foreign land. Honestly, while I think it's famous, there were some songs from an older generation that I, in my early twenties, didn't recognize, and I was expecting a more luxurious and extravagant stage set, which is why I gave this rating. The cast's dancing and performances were wonderful!

モニターツアーということで、ディナー付きということもあり旅の最終日に申し込みました。VIP 待遇として楽屋がのぞけたり、ウェルカムシャンパンがあったり舞台裏ツアーがあり特別感には浸れました(*^^*)ごはんも美味しかったです♪ショー自体は最前列の席が用意されており、ノリが良い方にはおすすめです！VIP の席には握手やほっぺにキスしにもきてくれました。異国の地でしか味わえない気分を味わいたい方にはいいかもしれません。正直、有名なのだと思うのですが少し古い世代の曲に20代前半の私にはわからないのがあったのと、舞台セット等はもっと豪華で派手なものを期待していたためこの評価とさせていただきました。ダンスなどキャストのみなさんは素敵でしたよ！

Everything was great except our bus got us there after all the activities were just about over. They really didn’t plan on traffic and one of our stops had two handicap individuals that you could clearly see they weren’t prepared for. However once at the show very pleased.
