Oahu
I had a very fun experience with a Japanese lady and some joke-loving gentlemen who provided explanations during the tour!
They indicated the direction of the turtles based on the clock, with the front of the boat being 12 o'clock. But sometimes they would tell little lies (laughs) like "Dolphins at 5 o'clock! Whales at 3 o'clock! Just kidding!"
I'm not sure if it was just that day, but they appeared in large numbers all around.
After a bit of movement, we enjoyed snorkeling for the first time at the sandbar, surrounded by lots of fish and coral reefs. The light meal afterward was simple, yet it tasted incredibly delicious!
I highly recommend it.
とっても楽しい日本人お姉さま(&ジョーク好きなオジサマ達)が説明添乗していただけました！
船の前方方向が12時として、時間でカメのいる方角を教えてくれます。
でも時々ウソつきます(笑)イルカ5時！クジラ３時！ウソ！とか。
この日だけなのか分かりませんが、アッチコッチに大量に現れてくれました。
そして少し移動してサンドバーでは初体験のシュノーケリングを大量のお魚さんたちとサンゴ礁と楽しみました。そのあとの軽食は簡単なものなのにとてもとても美味しく感じました！
おすすめです。

The crew was kind and cheerful while working, which made for a pleasant experience. I was able to see a dolphin for a little while, and I also saw a sea turtle. It was tough because the snorkeling mask didn't fit well, and seawater kept getting in. That didn't happen during a different activity the day before. Also, no one received an eco bag.
クルーが優しく楽しげに仕事をしていて
気持ちよく楽しめました。

We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!
It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.
It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!
ウミガメが間近にプカプカと泳いでいて子供がとても喜びました
サンドバーはとても綺麗で感動しました。周りの山に海とても生えて綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングはしてもしなくても良いとの事ですがせっかくなので行いましたが、たくさんの人数で行うので海の透明度は沖縄の方があると思います！
子供にはいい体験でした！
スタッフの方々がとてもアットホームで船の上も楽しく過ごすことができました！

It was as good as I expected. The waves and wind were calm on the day, but there were a few people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must. For lunch, it was not BBQ but a cheese bar. (The bread had taro in it.)
予想していたぐらいの良さです。当日は波も風も穏やかでしたが、船で寄っている人が何人かいたので、酔い止めは必需品です。お昼はＢＢＱではなくチーズバーがです。（パンはタロイモが入っていた）

Many people are already lined up before the meeting time, so if you have some flexibility, why not arrive a little early?! This is because those who get the welcome drink early and can freely enjoy the stick snacks while waiting at the front have a higher chance of being seated at the dining area sooner and getting a spot in the front row! The food, including lobster and steak, is all delicious. The show was truly amazing. It's definitely worth paying a bit more to see. With performances featuring Elvis, Michael, Katy Perry, hula dancing, and fire dancing, this is the essence of America! It felt like a true Las Vegas entertainment show from start to finish, and everything was great. It was almost like watching a Disney musical! The cost performance is excellent. I absolutely recommend the first-floor seats that are closer to the stage with meals included!
集合時間前にかなりの人が並んでますので、余裕のある方は少し早目に行ってはどうでしょうか？！
何故なら早くウエルカムドリンクを貰いスティックツマミを自由に食べて前方で待機していた方が、食事席に早く案内して貰いより最前列になる確率が高いです！
食事はロブスター、ステーキほか全て美味しいです。
ショーは本当に最高でした。
少し高いお金払ってでも観る価値は十分あります。プレスリー、マイケル、ケイティ・ペリー、フラダンス他、ファイヤーダンス。これぞアメリカン‼️ 本場ラスベガスエンターティナーショーって感じで‼︎最初から最後まで全て良かったです。
ディズニーのミュージカルを観ているようでもありました！
コストパフォーマンス最高です。
絶対に食事付きのステージにより近い1階席をお薦めします！
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 back when you come to 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。

We had a wonderful and excellent experience at the PCC! Time not wasted! So much fun! The Luau and the show were outstanding!
This tour was an amazing introduction to Oahu. The tour guide was very informative and friendly, and the day at the Cultural Center was very educational and fun. Our guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was amazing and very energetic. The luau and dinner was amazing.
I was disappointed with the circle Island Tour as it felt rushed and we only had a half hour at the Dole Plantation which was sufficient only to get something to eat very quickly and see nothing else. The Polynesian Cultural Center was marvelous, great luau, great show. Our driver was a very sweet man but tended to preach and too frequently interspersed his own Christian beliefs. He also mentioned, way too often, the High Cost of Living and the low wages. He is very knowledgeable with regard to the price of real estate on the island, about which I really have no interest.
It seems that the tides vary by day, and on the day of my visit, the sandbar was not fully exposed. It's a pity. Initially, the shallow sea and sandbar offered an hour and a half of free time, but I ended up walking endlessly with nothing to do. The lunch hamburger was quite delicious. During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I unexpectedly encountered a sea turtle. I was lucky.
日によって満ち引きの違いがあるみたいで、当日はサンドバーが完璧に出てませんでした。
残念。
最初遠浅の海、サンドバーですが、に1時間半の自由時間、する事がなく延々歩きました。
ランチハンバーガーは、かなり美味しいです。
昼からのシュノーケリングで、偶然ウミガメに遭遇。
ラッキーでした。

The sandbar had clear and beautiful water.
As expected, the sightseeing in Japan was enjoyable.
The pickup arrived on time.

I recommend allowing plenty of time to get there. It takes about an hour from Waikiki, so it would be good to arrive at the location with some extra time! The last time I was late, there was no refund and no horseback riding for me.
時間にゆとりをもって向かうことをオススメします。ワイキキから1時間はかかるので余裕をもって現地に入れるといいですね！
以前遅行した際は返金なし、乗馬もなしになりました。
レビューをありがとうございます！素晴らしい時間を過ごされたことを願っており、またお会いできることを楽しみにしています！

Mahalo for your review! We hope you had a great time and hope to see you again!

There are Japanese staff members, but the basic staff members are English speakers, so if you don't understand English, you might feel left out. I thought it might have been better to have more university-related staff.
When boarding the boat, it's better to sit in the open back so you can participate in various activities and enjoy yourself.
I applied for photos, but you won't get photographed unless you actively ask for it. During the time to enjoy activities, make sure to go and say, "Please take my picture!"
Many people were feeling seasick. It was nice weather, though. The motion sickness wristbands I bought on the pickup bus were expensive, but I believe they helped my daughters and me not to get sick! Our family usually has a weak constitution.
日本人のスタッフの方もいますが、基本英語のスタッフの方々が楽しい会話をしていますので、英語がわからないと置いてけぼり感を感じます。
大学さん系の方が良かったかなーと思いました。
船に乗るときは屋根のない後方に座ったほうが色々と参加できて楽しめます。
写真を申し込みましたが、積極的にアピールしに行かないと写してもらえません。
アクテビティを楽しむ時間には「写して〜」とアピールしに行きましょう。
かなりの方が船酔いしていました。
良いお天気だったのですが。
ピックアップのバスの中で買った酔い止めのリストバンド、高いですが、我が家の娘達&私が酔わなかったのはこれのおかげだと思います‼︎普段弱い家族なので。

I was disappointed that I couldn't enter Hanauma Bay, which I had been looking forward to (I would have liked more detailed information online indicating that entry might not be possible even on days other than Tuesday). The town on the North Shore felt quite run-down, and others around me also said there wasn't anything particularly impressive. I would have preferred to visit the site of the Pearl Harbor attack, or I had heard from friends that the train at Dole was really nice, so I wished I had more time to ride the train there. The guide was very entertaining (though it was a bit disappointing that there were many advertisements for accessories).
The Polynesian Cultural Center was good. I appreciated how hard the students worked to explain things. I understood the drama-style shows somewhat in English, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the guide or students had explained a simple story in Japanese beforehand. Since it was outdoors, even at night it felt hot and a bit long. The final fire show was spectacular and very moving.
期待していたハナウマ湾にはいれなくてガッカリでした（ネットの詳細に、火曜日以外でもはいれない可能性がある旨の説明がほしい）、ノースショアのタウンはさびれた町というかんじで格別感動するところはないと周りの人達も言っていた、それよりも、真珠湾攻撃の場所を見学したかった、又はドールの汽車がとてもいいと友達からきいていたので、ドールで汽車に乗る時間がほしかった。ガイドさんはとても面白い方でした（アクセサリーの宣伝が多いのがちょっと残念でしたが）
ポリネシア文化センターは良かった。学生さんたちがとても一生懸命説明してくれるのが好感もてた。ドラマ仕立てのショーはすべて英語で何となくわかったが、事前に簡単なストーリーを日本語でガイドさん又は学生さんが説明してくれてばもっと楽しめたと思う、野外なので、夜といえども暑くてちょっと長く感じた。最後のファイヤーショーは圧巻でとても感動した。

I was looking forward to the meal before the show based on the reviews, but it was disappointing. ⤵ The seating during the show was good and easy to see, but the development of the one-hour show was lacking and I got bored.
ショーの前の食事のクチコミを読んで期待していましたがそれ程ではではなくがっかり⤵
ショータイムも席は見やすく良い席でしたが1時間程のショーの展開がイマイチであきてしまいます。

Throughout the afternoon, we went around to various places, and while the guide was very diligent in providing information, we only spent about 10 to 15 minutes at each location. If you need to use the restroom, that time is quickly up. When you have kids with you, it’s hard to move around, so there were times we didn’t get off the bus. I think it might be better to focus on fewer points of interest. The jewelry shop might not be necessary. The Polynesian Cultural Center is sufficient to visit in the afternoon. The buffet for lunch and dinner has almost the same offerings, so one visit is enough. They sell a variety of food. The last show ends at 9 PM, so it gets late, but the show was wonderful.
午後中、あちこち回るんですが、ガイドさんは一生懸命案内してくださるけど、一箇所10分とか15分とか、トイレ行ったら終わり。子供連れてると動けないので、降りなかった時も。ちょっと、ポイントを絞っても良いかと思います。ジュエリーショップは、不要かな。ポリネシア文化センターは、午後からで十分。ビュッフェは夜と昼、ほぼ同じ中身ですから、どちらか一回で良いと思います。何でも食べるもの売ってます。最後のショーが終わると21時なので、夜遅くなるけど、ショーは素晴らしかったです。

It's great to have guidance in Japanese, and the Hawaiian jokes are fun too. We drove around the jungle in a speeding Jeep and visited plants at a farm and ranch. In the afternoon, my younger child suddenly needed to go to the bathroom, which made us late for the movie tour, and the bus we had reserved left without us. However, the ticket center quickly arranged for the next bus. We were super excited at the entrance to Jurassic Park. The facilities are very accommodating, which is reassuring. The program is friendly for families with children. However, the early morning is a bit tough. With a 7:10 AM pickup, I had to wake up at least by 6 AM. Since breakfast was at 7, I gave up and woke up at 5:30 to make porridge in the hotel kitchen. If the program could be adjusted, it would be nice to have a menu with one in the morning and two in the afternoon.
日本語で案内してもらえるのと、ハワイアンジョーク？がまた楽しい。疾走するジープでジャングルをまわったり、農園や牧場で植物を見学したり。午後、下の子が急にトイレに行きたがって、映画ツアーの時間に遅れてしまい、予約してたバスは行ってしまったんですが、チケットセンターですぐ次のバスを手配してくれました。ジュラシックパークの入り口？セットに大興奮。施設内は、至れり尽くせりで、安心ですね。子供連れにはやさしいプログラムです。ただし、朝早いのがちょっとしんどい。7時10分ピックアップだと、朝は最低でも６時起床です。朝食が7時からだったので、諦めて、私だけ５時半に起きてホテルのキッチンで雑炊作りました。プログラムを調整できるんだったら、朝一つ、午後二つ、とかのメニューがあっても良いのでは。

Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.
サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高！４歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. There is a ticket counter where you can give your name and receive your tickets.
You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are smoothies and other options, and since the air conditioning is a bit strong, it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket.
We happened to have seats in the center, but I think you can still enjoy it even from the side seats, as Mr. Presley might come to you as well.
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。
チケット売り場があるので名前をいい、チケットを受け取ります。
ドリンクはアルコールとノンアルコールが選べます。
スムージーとそうでないものがあり、少し空調が効いているので薄手の上着を持っていくといいかもしれません。
私達はたまたまセンターの席でしたが、端の席でもプレスリーさんが来てくれたりするので充分楽しめると思います。

We participated as a family of four. It was August, and all participants wore bodysuits. Those who were worried about seasickness purchased seasickness bands (for both wrists). Our family also took seasickness medication, but we wanted to enjoy ourselves, so we bought the bands. (Those without bands seemed to struggle with nausea!) We put on our snorkeling gear and jumped into the sea, following the person in front of us. We were lucky to swim with "dolphins," "sea turtles," and "fish" right away. After playing, we had lunch on the boat with hamburgers and fruit, and there was also a hula dance with the staff. Since we had signed up for photos ($60) on the bus ride there, we got to take commemorative pictures with the captain in the ship's upper control room, which made for great memories!
家族４人で参加しました。８月でしたが、参加者全員ボディスーツ着用して船酔いが心配な人は
酔い止めバンド（両手首）を購入しました。我が家も酔い止め薬は服用しましたが、楽しみたいのでバンド購入。（バンドない人は酔って辛そうでした！）シュノーケル道具一式を身に付けいざ、海に。前の人に続いて思い切りドボン！と飛び込み、すぐに「イルカ」「海亀」「魚」と一緒に泳げて、ラッキーでした。あそんだ後は、船上でハンバーガーとフルーツのランチやスタッフと一緒にフラダンスがありました。行きのﾊﾞｽの中で写真（＄６０）申し込んでいたので、船の屋上操縦室でキャプテンと記念撮影や写真も優遇してもらったりしていい記念になりました！

The guide was really great. At first, the makeup was so impressive that the kids were surprised, but thinking of it as a way to entertain the participants, it was a very service-oriented approach.
I was a bit surprised to receive sales at the black coral store, but I’m glad I bought something.
The Tonga zone at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very interesting. Now, I regret not raising my hand...

最初はすごいメイクだったので、子供もびっくりしていましたが、

Saw this performance with my teen age daughter. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it. It was a fun night out in Waikiki. The dancers are the best part in my opinion. Elvis has strong vocals. Good band too. Excellent stage show - very entertaining. The food was great - my steak was cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation. Even my picky daughter liked the food and tried the lobster. We had great seats - center stage up front. Everyone was very welcoming and the wait staff attentive. The drinks are quite tasty and pretty potent. We did the VIP package and the welcome mai tai was delicious. I'm glad we went.
I was able to experience the various cultures of the Polynesian islands firsthand. My middle school and elementary school children were also delighted to enjoy the world of Samoan movies.

On the flight there, I previewed "King Kong" and "The Lost World," and with that lingering feeling, it truly felt like I had stepped into the world of the movies. The guide for the movie bus tour was interesting, and the food was delicious.
For horseback riding, the site mentioned a height requirement of over 140 cm, but the paper distributed on the bus stated it was over 137 cm. Since my son is 138 cm, I thought I should have signed up for the tour that included horseback riding instead of the one that didn't.
行きの飛行機の中で「コング」と「ロストワールド」を予習してので、その余韻もあって、本当に映画の中の世界に紛れ込んだようでした。映画バスツアーのガイドさんの話も面白く、食事も美味しかったです。
乗馬は、サイトには140cm以上と書いてありましたが、バスの中で配られたアトラクションを選ぶ紙には、137cm以上と書いてあり、息子は138cmだったので、乗馬を含まないツアーで申し込んだのに、それなら乗馬がある方で申し込めば良かったなと思いました。

Our wedding party went as a group and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! Good lunch and great crew with phenomenal snorkeling. We swam with large sea turtles and it was amazing!
At first, it was cloudy, and I was worried because the color of the sea wasn't very nice.
After that, I was very moved to see a wild sea turtle, and then we went to the sandbar.
A few minutes after arriving, the weather cleared up, and it was very beautiful. I thought it would be a bit shallower, but it was surprisingly deep.
最初は曇ってて、あまりいい海の色ではなく心配しておりました。
その後、野生のウミガメを見れて、とても感動後、サンドバーへ
ついてから、数分後天気も晴れて、とっても綺麗でした。
