Oahu
I've been going to Hawaii every year, but this was my first time seeing the Rock-a-Hula show. This time, my wife and I decided to enjoy Hawaii at a leisurely pace, so we spontaneously chose to see this show. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the impersonations, but once it started, I was amazed by the intensity, reminiscent of a Las Vegas show. The fusion of Hawaiian and rock music was something I never imagined, but it fit perfectly without any sense of incongruity, which really impressed me. The Michael Jackson impersonation was great, but I never expected to see fire dancing, so it felt like a great deal. If your wallet allows, I definitely recommend choosing the VIP dinner option to enjoy a nice meal before watching from the best seats.
毎年ハワイに行ってますが初めてロック・ア・フラショーをみました。
今回は妻とゆっくりハワイを楽しもうということで急遽このショーを見ました。
正直物マネに期待はしていなかったのですが始まってみるとラスベガスのショーのような
迫力にびっくりしました。ハワイアンとロックの融合とても考えつかないのですが、まったく違和感もなくむしろぴったりマッチしていることに感動しました。マイケルジャクソンの物まねもよかったですが、まさかファイアーダンスまで見れるなんて思ってもいなかったのですごくお得な気がしました。
もし財布に余裕があるなら是非VIPディナーを選んでゆっくり食事してから最高の席で見てほしいです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Even with guaranteed front-row seats, guests are seated in order from the front according to a U-shaped arrangement, so it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be sitting in the front row directly facing the stage. However, during the show, the dancers perform facing all directions, so you can still enjoy it thoroughly. I entered about 30 minutes after the doors opened, and although I wasn't in the front area, I was able to sit about three seats from the front in the side area.
Upon entry, they place a flower lei around your neck. The meal is served buffet-style, allowing you to take everything from the main dishes to salads and desserts at once. The staff will come around to ask if you need more drinks. It was a bit disappointing that poi was not on the menu. The entire show is in English. There was a brief moment when it rained, which made me anxious, but it cleared up afterward, so I was lucky. Since it's on the rooftop, it's wise to be prepared for weather changes. I think it's a show worth seeing at least once.
前方席確約であっても、コの字型の配列に従って前から順番にお客さんを入れていくので、正面の前方席に座れるというわけではありません。しかし、ショー中はダンサーたちも全方位に向かって踊ってくれるので、十分楽しめます。開場時間30分ほど後に入場しましたが、正面エリアでは無かったものの、横のエリアの前から3席目あたりに座れました。
入場時に、花のレイをかけてくれます。食事はビュッフェ方式で、一度にメインからサラダ、デザートまで取ります。おかわりのドリンクは、係の方が聞きに来てくれます。食事のメニューにポイが無かったのが残念でした。ショーはすべて英語です。一瞬、通り雨が降ったので不安になりましたが、その後晴れたのでラッキーでした。屋上のため天候に左右されるものだという覚悟はしておいた方がいいかもしれません。一度は見ておくと良いショーだと思います。
I saw a rock show for the first time!
Unlike the Polynesian show I saw in the past, it was very lively, and time flew by.
Of course, there were also Tahitian and hula dances.
I definitely want to participate again next time!
初めてロックショーを見ました!
昔見たポリネシアンショーとは違いとってもノリノリで、時間が経つのがあっという間です
もちろんタヒチアンやフラダンスもあります
次回も是非参加したいです

When I entered the sea and looked in the direction the instructor indicated, I could really see four or five dolphins swimming! Furthermore, as a special treat, we changed locations and entered the sea again, where we were able to see nearly ten dolphins, including a small baby dolphin!! Other activities and events on the boat were also a lot of fun!! Thanks to the motion sickness band I purchased on the bus ride there, I was able to enjoy the experience without any seasickness at all!!
海に入ってインストラクターの指示する方向を見ると、本当にイルカが4,5頭泳いでいるのが見えました!さらに、今回は特別に、ということでポイントを変えて再度海に入ると、今度は小さな子どもイルカを含む10頭近くのイルカを見ることができました!!その他のアクティビティや船上でのイベント等もとても楽しかったです!!行きのバスで購入した酔い止めバンドのおかげで、まったく船酔いもせず楽しむことができました!!
GREAT time!!!! Staff was wonderful and did a great job of ensuring we had a good time!!!
If we had the time, we’d do it again!!!
We took a large bus to the dock, and from there, we transferred to a boat to set off. It's an efficient way to experience everything, so it might be great for those who are short on time or want to pack in a lot of activities. We had imagined we would be able to snorkel a bit more leisurely, so that was a bit disappointing. If snorkeling is your main goal, it might be better to choose a different tour. However, if your aim is to visit the sandbar, this could be a good option.
大型バスに乗って船着き場まで移動、そこから船に乗り換えて出発。
効率よく体験ができるので、時間のない方や色んなものを詰め込んでみたい方にはいいいかも。
私たちは、もうすこしゆっくりシュノーケリングができるかと想像していたので、その点はが残念でした。シュノーケリングを目的に参加するなら別のツアーがいいかもしれません。
サンドバーの見学が目的なら、いいかも。
Although the perfect Shirahama didn't appear, I had a great time playing with a beach ball, taking photos, and enjoying myself. I was also very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming.
完全な白浜は現れませんでしたが、ビーチボールをひたり、写真を撮ったり、楽しく過ごせました。
ウミガメの泳ぐ姿もたくさん見られて大満足です。
It was a nice dinner cruise. Entertainer was beautiful. Just wish we had air conditioning, it was hot.
The crew were sensational with everyone.. it really made the day.. captain found us lots of dolphins and the conditions were awesome.. highly recommended well worth the money.. great day
Mahalo! We're so glad that you enjoyed your time with us, thank you for the kind words!
On the day of the trip, we faced headwinds while heading to the uninhabited island, and we paddled desperately. The uninhabited island is a sanctuary for birds, and we walked around it to explore, but I went in flip-flops; I think marine boots would be easier for walking if possible. On the way back, there was no wind, and we made good progress. In the end, we had to pull the kayaks back ourselves, which I think would be tough for just the girls. There are three types of lunch to choose from, and I recommend the sandwich.
当日は無人島へ向かう行は向かい風で、必死に漕ぎました。無人島は鳥の聖地で一周歩いて見学しますが、私はビーサンで行ったのですけれども、できればマリンブーツの方が歩きやすいと思います。帰りは風もなく順調に進みました。最後にカヤックを自分達で引いて帰らなければいけなかったのでこれも女子同士だと大変だと思います。3種類の選べるランチがついていますが、私はサンドイッチがお勧めです。
Dear Nekoko,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for leaving your comments. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed kayaking despite the strong winds. We also appreciate you bringing the kayak back to the shore. This is part of the charm of the tour, isn't it?
The sandwiches are delicious, and I recommend them as well. We hope you will visit us again without hesitation. We look forward to welcoming you back.
Sincerely,
The Staff at Kailua Beach Adventures
ねここ様
この度は、ツアーにご参加及び、コメントご記入、ありがとうございました。
風の強い中、カヤックを必死に漕いで、楽しんで頂けたようで、私どもも嬉しく思います。
カヤックを再度まで引いて帰ってきて頂き、ありがとうございました。これもひとつのツアーの醍醐味?ということで、よろしくお願いいたします。
サンドイッチ、おいしいですよね。私もお勧めします。
これに懲りず、また是非お越しくださいますよう、お願い致します。お待ち致しております。

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the water level was higher due to the rain, and the visibility was a bit poor. Still, the sea was very beautiful, and the guide was interesting, and the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it! If the weather had been good, it would have been truly amazing!
Also, I brought my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, but I regretted not bringing small floaties for them. (It's dangerous if you don't hold them securely to prevent them from drifting away.) There were life jackets for kids, but they were too big for my 1-year-old, so I had to hold him, and my 3-year-old was cold, so we couldn't stay in the water for long. It was a bit challenging to hold both of them.
期待して行ったのですが、残念なことに雨が降った後のため水かさも増していたのと、透明度が少し悪かったです。ただ、それでもとてもキレイな海だったし、ガイドさんも面白くスタッフさんたちも感じが良かったので、楽しめました!
天気が良ければ本当に最高だったのに!
あと、1歳と3歳の子供を連れて行ったのですが、小さな子供用の浮き輪が無いため、持参していけば良かったと後悔してます。(流されないために、しっかり押さえておかないと危ないですが)
ライフジャケットも子供用はありましたが、1歳児には大きくつけられないので、抱っこしたままで、3歳も寒かったため、ずっと海に入って居られず、2人抱っこして居たので、少し大変でした。
It depends on the day, but the boat swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must! There were only two groups of Japanese participants, but it was helpful that they provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones. We were able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat, and they were adorable as they jumped and swam parallel to the boat. Surprisingly, we even saw whales despite the season! The water was clear, and we swam with many fish, losing track of time. The meals were served buffet-style, but the food didn't meet my expectations. On the way back, there isn't much time to change, so I think it's best to wear clothes that are easy to change into. Overall, I am satisfied!
日によるでしょうが船が結構揺れたため酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です!
参加者で日本人は二組だけでしたが、英語の後に日本語でも説明してくれたので助かりました。
イルカは船の上からですがたくさん見られて満足!!ジャンプしたり船と平行して泳いだり可愛かったです。なんとこの日はこの時期にも関わらずクジラも見えました。
海も透き通っていてたくさんの魚と時間を忘れるほど泳ぎました。
食事はブッフェ形式でしたが食事に関しては期待するほどの物は出てきませんでした。
帰りは着替える間もないので、ササッと着替えられる服で行くのが良いと思います。
総合的に満足です!
A wonderful trip with great views and the sandbar is spectacular. The crew were great, and Jenner was especially great and super friendly and entertaining. Our captain was also friendly and took some great pictures of us on the boat. Highly recommended and will do again when in Honolulu.
Due to the traffic from the parade, my name wasn't called at the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. However, everything turned out fine. Since this is also a meeting point for various tours, I think the guides should be more mindful when calling names. The cruise guide was cheerful and had interesting stories. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious! There are also restrooms, so no worries there. We visited several spots where we could see sea turtles, and I was able to see them about twice, but it was just for a moment, so I had to really focus. The sea is beautiful and shallow. When moving from the boat to the sandbar, it gets a bit deep, but you can borrow life jackets, so there’s no need to worry, even for children. They also take you to deeper spots for snorkeling. On the way back, you'll be getting on the bus while still wet, so it's better to prepare a simple change of clothes or bring extra towels. I'm glad I participated.
パレードによる渋滞のためか、集合時間になってもなかなか名前が呼ばれず、ドキドキしました。が、大丈夫でした。ただ、各種ツアーの集合場所でもあるので、ガイドの方が名前を呼ぶのは意識された方がよいかと思います。クルーズガイドの方は明るく話が面白かったです。ハンバーガーもビックリおいしかった!トイレもあり、心配ありません。ウミガメが見えるスポットを複数回ってくれるので、2回ほど見ることができました、が一瞬だったりするので、目を凝らして見ました。海はきれいで遠浅です。船からサンドバーに移動する際、少し深いですが、ライフジャケットを借りられるので、子供でも心配ありませんでした。シュノーケリングに深い場所にも連れて行ってくれます。帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、簡単な着替えかタオル多めに用意した方がベターです。参加してよかったです。
I was able to see a lot of dolphins! The staff were all friendly and nice. I could see turtles while snorkeling, but not many fish.
たくさんのイルカが見れました!
スタッフの方もみんな気さくで良い方ばかりでした
シュノーケリングは亀は見れるのですが、あまり魚は見れなかったです
I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.
とても楽しい1日を過ごせました!
まずガイドのお姉さんが最高に楽しい!明るくて周りをしっかり見てくれている方でした。
当日、日本人だけの船には乗らず、インターナショナルな船に乗船。結果、少人数になり良かったと思います。お昼のBBQもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。
My family enjoyed the dinner cruise. The Staff were so accommodating to change the menu to their guests preference. I learned a lot which side I should wear my flower. The entertainment is awesome, complete with the proper attire to educate the guests about the Hawaiian tradition, I will highly recommend this dinner cruise to anyone visiting Hawaii .Thanks to Emily of Veltra for helping me book the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise.
What a great experience! The crew was so interactive with everyone made everyone feel right at home! The view of the fire works was amazing! This is a must!
You offer few options for lunch -- and then all of a sudden you are paying an extra $20 for lunch after paying a high price already for park tickets. Luau food was mediocre -- and they ran out of food and shut down food lines. Night show was great
The local area was divided into different activities like movie tours and horseback riding, with a schedule set every 90 minutes.
My husband and I participated in the "Movie Location Tour," "Tropical Garden & Fish Pond Tour," and "Jungle Expedition." The movie locations looked exactly like what we saw in the films! If you're a movie lover, you'll definitely be thrilled! By the way, during the Tropical Garden & Fish Pond Tour, we explored the aquaculture pond by boat, which was also a famous filming location for Jurassic World. The Jungle Expedition had us racing through the mountains in a jeep while enjoying breathtaking views of Kualoa and the ocean. You really need to buckle up and hold on tight, as it shakes you around quite a bit! It's a fun attraction where motion sickness medication is a must.
By the way, the local staff who switch between English, Japanese, and Korean to accommodate guests are just too cool!
現地では映画ツアーや乗馬等で場所が分かれていて、時間ごと(90分?)に時間割が組まれていました。
私たち夫婦は「映画ロケ地ツアー」「トロピカルガーデン&フィッシュポンドツアー」「ジャングルエクスペディション」に参加。
映画ロケ地はまさに映画で観たまんま!映画好きなら興奮しっぱなし間違いなしです!
ちなみにトロピカルガーデン&フィッシュポンドツアーでは養殖池をボートで回りますが、ここもジュラシックワールドの有名シーンの撮影場所でした。
ジャングルエクスペディションはクアロアと海の絶景を見ながらジープで山の中を疾走。
ちゃんとベルトを締めて掴まってないとガンガン頭ぶつけるくらい、激しくゆさぶられます笑
酔い止め必須のおもしろアトラクションです。
それにしても、お客に会わせて英語、日本語、韓国語を使い分ける現地スタッフさん、かっこよすぎです笑
I made a reservation because I wanted to see an American show in Hawaii for the first time. First, I received a welcome drink and relaxed for a while before moving to the front row on the first floor to enjoy dinner. For dinner, I savored delicious American food, including steak. After dinner, I watched the show from the VIP seats, which allowed me to see the powerful hula and fire dances up close. The fire dance, in particular, was more impressive than I had imagined and created an exciting atmosphere. I had a great experience on my first trip to Hawaii.
初ハワイでアメリカンなショーを見たいと思い予約しました。
まずはじめにウェルカムドリンクを受け取りゆっくり過ごした後に、ステージ正面の1階席に移動して夕食をいただきました。夕食ではステーキなどを美味しくいただきアメリカンな食事を堪能しました。
夕食後はショーを見ましたが、VIP席でしたので間近で迫力あるフラダンスやファイヤーダンスを見ることができました。
特にファイヤーダンスは想像以上に迫力のあるものでとても盛り上がりました。
初めてのハワイで良い経験ができました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Love the crew! They made it so much fun! Thank you so much for this memorable experience! We cannot wait to come back next year!!!
The meeting place was Sheraton Waikiki. It was a tour with many Japanese participants. As a result, the activities at the ranch included a movie location tour exclusively for Japanese speakers, with a bus and a Japanese guide, which made it easy to understand and enjoyable. The sets from movies like Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Kong were still there, and it was exciting to see them.
シェラトンワイキキが集合場所でした。
日本人が多く参加するツアーでした。そのため、牧場でのアクティビティの映画ロケ地巡りは日本人のみでバスが作られ日本語ガイドが付き、わかりやすく良かったです。映画のジュラシックパークやジュラシックワールドやコングのセット(もっともっといろいろな映画が撮影されていましたが)が残っていて、ワクワクしました。
There were Japanese staff members present, which made me feel安心して参加できました! The movie location tour was great; the staff took photos for us and provided detailed guidance! The weather turned bad halfway through, but thanks to the staff, we had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!
日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃり、安心して参加できました!映画ロケ地ツアーは、スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださったったり、案内も詳しくして下さいました!途中から天気が荒れてしまったのですが、スタッフさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました!オススメです!
The guide also took photos and really made it fun! The only disappointing thing was that since it was advertised as a barbecue, I was expecting a lot of meat and vegetables, but what came out were hamburgers. >_<
ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたら盛り上げてくれたりとっても楽しかったです!!
ただ1つ残念だったのは、バーベキューと書いていたので沢山のお肉や野菜を期待していたのですが出て来たのはハンバーガーでした>_<
The event was well organized starting with proof of ticket, to complimentary drink, I can not comment on the appetizers, because we were a little late arriving so we missed them. The meal, which consisted of salmon, steak and potato, was disappointing because it was served cold, but the taste was lovely. Also, we were not impressed with the uniform table arrangements, it would have been better in groups.
Actual show was very good, Elvis looked like a young Elvis Presley, he had a good voice, and stage presence, good with the audience participation. My personal favourite was Michael Jackson, who reminded us of a younger Michael Jackson before all his cosmetic surgery. He had all the right dance moves, especially Billie Jean and the moon walk. Katy Perry was believable, strong vocals, she appeals to a younger audience, and the props she used had a great effect. Costumes for all three artists were very good. The fire knife dancer was amazing, I held my breath in parts he made a dangerous act look easy. All the background dancers,proved themselves worthy with an excellent display of hula dancing.... amazing! The band worked well with each individual artist and the drummer was amazing. Back up singers went through many costume changes with speed and professionalism and set changes ie: bubble and surfboard sections added to the overall enjoyment of the show. The inclusion of Don Ho and the ukulele was a nice salute to the Hawaiian culture,
The waiters and waitresses worked diligently throughout, and cleared the tables efficiently, and were attentive to diners needs. Another nice touch was the fact that there was two celebrations, a Birthday and honeymoon was announced, and we all got to share in the celebration. The screens at either side of the stage was a novel idea and added to the enjoyment of the show. All the artists were very accommodating after the show and graciously took time with people from the audience that wanted photographs taken with them or chat.
We took our 10-month-old baby along for the adventure. They provided life jackets for babies, which made us feel safe while boarding. I thought we could sit the baby on the sand, but unfortunately, the water depth at the sandbar was about 120 cm, so we ended up putting the baby in a float. I guess that's just luck at that moment...
The sea turtle watching was great; we were able to see many sea turtles, which was satisfying. The guide was energetic and very kind in taking care of the baby, which we really appreciated.
0歳10ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れで挑みました。赤ちゃん用のライフジャケットも用意されており、安心して乗船できました。ベビーを砂に座らせることができるのではないかと思っていたのですが、残念ながら、サンドバーの水深が120cmくらいあり、浮き輪に入れて浮かべる感じになりました。こればかりはその時の運ですね・・。
ウミガメウォッチングはたくさんのウミガメを見ることができて、満足です。ガイドのお姉さんが元気でベビーに対するケアも親切にしてくださって、ありがたかったです。
The sand at Blue was very beautiful, and it was a great experience. I was able to see sea turtles as well. Although it was advertised as a BBQ, they actually served hamburgers. However, they were delicious, so it was fine.
サンドブルーがとてもきれいでいい体験になりました。ウミガメもしっかり見れました。BBQとあるけど実際はハンバーガーの提供。でも美味しかったのでよいです。
You haven't seen Hawaii until you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center. This place is so rich in history, culture, great food and entertainment that it will blow your mind.
It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.
