All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Our guide Justin was great,couldn't have had a more informative person. His personality made the tour,along with the way he helped everyone special needs

The Ambassador pass was outstanding! The tour guide was perfect, the shows were fabulous. Food was delicious. The whole day was amazing!

Had a great time. It's worth it. Highly recommeded

The Rock a Hula show was good, including Elvis presley, michael jackson, and katie perry. It also included traditional festive hawaiian misic, and dance, as was quite entertaining.!! I would recommend taking the show-laua package, food was great, and hosts were sooo nice!! I hope you will decide to go. The fire knife dance was also very entertaining!! He pressed the fire directly to his tongue, and held up the fire directly with his feet! Also twirled the fire with both hands! I cannot believe how he can stand the heat!! Elvis presley sang many songs, and came off the stage into the balcony, and shook my hand, and hugged my wife, unbelievable!! Michael jackson did his moonwalk, and sang classic mj songs like billie jean, etc., so entertaining!! He really looked like michael jackson, the black geri-curled hair, signature white glove, red dance jacket, and those famous michael jackson dance moves, WOW!!
I can't say enough about the venue, the hotel which held the show, the drinks were awesome, all the staff were so nice, so accomodating, and everyone was helpful!! When I return to hawaii in june I plan to go again with my sons!! You would really enjoy this show, I highly recommend it!! The total experience was an unforgettable pleasure!!

My husband took me here for our Anniversary. We had a great time at the buffet! The food was amazing and so was the dinner entertainment! There isn't a bad seat in the place! They engaged the audience in the performance and not only were the main acts great, the dancers were amazing and kept the audience attention the whole time. You weren't ready for it to be over, but it was nice to take pictures wth the entertainers after the show. It was my husbands second time attending, so I bet we will be back for another show! Worth every penny!

During my trip to Hawaii with my mother, I wanted to see a hula dance show since we were in Hawaii. I found information about this hula show in other guidebooks and thought it might be famous, so we decided to participate. The location was excellent, right in the center of Waikiki, and the show ended after 9 PM. I was a bit worried about walking back to the hotel, but there were plenty of people around, and we were able to walk back safely.

We gathered at the Royal Hawaiian Center around 6:30 PM and had our meal in a tent-like area outside. It was a lot of fun to interact with others seated nearby. The buffet-style meal was delicious, and the staff were all very cheerful, creating a bright and enjoyable atmosphere. After having dessert and taking a restroom break, we entered the venue right in front of us and took photos with the performers.

When the performance started, the hula dance and impersonation show began, and everything was really enjoyable. Watching the performers dance so happily lifted our spirits as well. The impersonation performers ranged from stars of the grandmother generation to current popular figures, making it a show that people of all ages could enjoy.

Seeing this show energized me and made me feel very cheerful. It was a lot of fun!

母と2人でハワイへ旅行した際に、ハワイに来たからにはフラダンスを見たいと思い、他のガイドブックにもこのフラショーについて書いてあり、有名なのかなと思い参加してみました。立地がとても良く、ワイキキの中心部にあり夜9時過ぎに終演で、帰り道など危なくないかと不安でしたが、人通りも多く、ホテルまで歩いて帰れました。
18時30分頃ロイヤルハワイアンセンターへ集合し、食事は外のテントのような所で食べました。席が近くなった方と交流したりとても楽しかったです。また、食事はビュッフェスタイルでとても美味しい料理ばかりでした。スタッフの方もとても陽気な方ばかりで、明るい雰囲気がとても楽しかったです。 食後のデザートを食べ、トイレ休憩した後は目の前の会場の中に入り、パフォーマーの方と写真を撮りました。 パフォーマンスが始まると、フラダンスとモノマネショーが始まりどれもとても楽しかったです。パフォーマーの方がとても楽しそうに踊っている姿をみて、私たちも楽しい気分になりました。モノマネパフォーマーのおばあちゃん世代のスター〜今時の流行りの方だったりと、どの世代も楽しめるようなショーでした。
このショーを見れて元気が出ましたし、とても明るい気持ちになりました。 楽しかったです！

We chose to rent a car and meet at the location because we wanted to drive around to other places. The scenery was undoubtedly exquisite, and it made me feel very happy. The tour itself ended early (around 10:30), so we could make good use of the remaining time. We drove around Makapu'u Point, and the color of the ocean was truly beautiful, another breathtaking view.

The tour price was a bit on the higher side (which is understandable in Hawaii), and the light snack was really just a light snack, which made me chuckle. However, I definitely think you should experience that stunning view at least once. Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

私たちは、他のところもドライブして回りたかったので、レンタカーを借りて現地集合を選択しました。景色は、間違いなく、もう絶品です。とっても幸せな気持ちになれました。ツアー自体も早く終わるので（10：30過ぎくらいには現地で解散）、後の時間も有効に使えます。マカプウ岬の方をドライブして回りましたが、海の色が本当に美しくこれまた絶景でした。
すこし、ツアー代金が高め（ハワイだから仕方ないですね）なのと、軽食が本当に軽食なのでつい笑ってしまいましたが、是非、一度はあの絶景に包まれてみてくださいって思います。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

Learnt so much about the Polynesian way, such an insight. Would definitely come back! The tour guide we had was soooo funny and so informative!

I was lucky enough to see a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle! The staff was very energetic, and I completely forgot about the early morning struggle and had an amazing time! The hula lesson was also fun.

I requested photos, and they took a lot of priority shots for us, including aerial photos that we couldn't take ourselves, which made me very satisfied.

The activities included stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, and a waterslide. The waterslide was even more fun than I imagined, and I went down it multiple times.

The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best. I want to participate again when I come back to Oahu!

運が良く、イルカの群れと、海ガメさんも観れました！スタッフの方もテンションが高く、朝早くてキツイのも忘れてめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！フラのレッスンも面白かったです＼(^ω^)／
写真を頼んだのですが、たくさん優先的に写真を撮ってもらい、自分たちでは撮れない空撮の写真ももらえて大満足です。
アクティビティでは、スタンダップパドルや、カヌーや、滑り台がありました。滑り台は想像以上なら面白くて何回もしました。
船の上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
また、オアフに来たら参加したいです！！

Due to my schedule, I couldn't go during low tide. If the tide had been out, I might have been more impressed. Also, it was raining. This is something you wouldn't know unless you go.

スケジュールの都合で、干潮の時間に行けませんでした。潮が引いていたら、もっと感動したかも。
あとは、雨が降っていました。これは行ってみないと分からないですが。

Our tour guide Jason was great. Just wished the seats was more comfortable for the long journey. We were able to feel every bump and crack on the road going to PCC, that part i didn't enjoy, even heading back to Waikiki was miserable and rough.

We had great time, the food was good with very nice servers who were also the hula dancers, they were very entertaining and made it a great experience, a singer was there the whole time too. Afterwards we went into the theater for the show. The performers were great especially the Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, also the whole show had a Hawaiian theme with interspersed hula dances. Best part was the guy with the fire at the end. Overall very entertaining and highly recommended.

On the second day of our rainy stay in Hawaii, after visiting Pearl Harbor, we were looking for a place to have dinner on the bus when we discovered a plan that included a show and meal, and we signed up on the spot.

The reviews from past experiences were good, and since it was raining, it was perfect to enjoy an indoor show.

The location was in the heart of Waikiki, easily accessible from our hotel.

The meal was served buffet-style, with the main dish being a whole roasted pig! We also enjoyed desserts and coffee. We ordered beer for an additional charge, and the friendly guy explained the flavors of Hawaiian beer.

In between meals, we enjoyed ukulele music and singing. Additionally, three performers who also acted as waiters entertained us with hula dancing. There was even a hula dance lesson during the show.

The main show featured Elvis, Michael, and Katy Perry, along with plenty of Hawaiian-themed performances like fire dancing.

The venue was more impressive than I had imagined, and we had front-row seats in the center of the second-floor terrace. The quality of the show was high, and since there were many familiar songs, we enjoyed it even more than we expected.

The waiter who had served us during the meal also performed in the show, and I couldn't help but follow him with my eyes.

After the show, we took photos with all the performers.

It was a thoroughly satisfying show and meal!

After the performance...

雨のハワイ滞在2日目、パールハーバー観光後のバス内で夜ご飯をどこで食べようか探していると、ショーと食事を楽しめるプランを発見しその場で即申し込みました。

過去の体験談の評価もよく、雨であったので室内でのショーを楽しめるのはちょうどよかった。

場所はワイキキ中心部でホテルからのアクセスも良し。

食事はビュッフェ形式で、メインは豚の丸焼き！
デザートやコーヒーまで楽しめた。別料金でビールを注文。ハワイビールの味まで説明してくれて感じのいいお兄さんでした。

食事の合間にはウクレレと歌が楽しめる。また3名のパフォーマー兼ウェイターがフラダンスなどで盛り上げてくれる。途中ではフラダンスレッスンも。

メインのショーはエルビス、マイケル、ケイティペリーの3人に加え、ファイアーダンスなどハワイらしさのあるものも十分楽しめる。

想像していたよりも会場は立派であったし、席も2階テラスの最前列中央。ショーの質も高く、知っている曲が多かったので期待値以上に楽しめた。

先ほど食事の時にウェイターをしてくれていたお兄さんがショーにも出ており、ついつい目で追ってしまった。

終演後全てのパフォーマーと写真撮影。

大満足のショーと食事でした！

終演後には

This time, I participated with my 3-year-old and 11-year-old children. We were told to jump into the water from the boat, and I was worried about whether my 3-year-old would be okay, but the staff kindly helped him down from the boat, and everyone was so nice and helpful.

The dolphins came up to the surface, so my younger child was able to see them and was thrilled, shouting "Dolphin!" After that, we went to a snorkeling spot that was so beautiful we could see the fish from the boat, and we were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle! At first, my 3-year-old was scared of the deep sea since it was their first time, but by the end, they were crying because they didn't want to leave (laughs).

The staff were all kind and fun, and time flew by so quickly.

Since the boat does sway a lot, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential. Even though I wore a rented wetsuit, I felt cold in the water towards the end, so I recommend renting a wetsuit as well. They had children's sizes available, which was a big help.

I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

今回は3歳、11歳の子連れで参加。
船からはジャンプで入ります‼︎と言われ3歳の子は大丈夫かな？とハラハラしてましたがスタッフの人が船の上から優しく降ろしてくれたりと、みんな優しくて助かりました。
イルカが水面まで上がってきてくれたので、下の子もイルカを見る事が出来てイルカーー‼︎と喜んでいました☆
その後に行ったシュノーケリングポイントでは船の上からでも中の魚が見える程キレイな場所で、運良く海ガメにも遭遇出来ました‼︎
最初は初めての深い海に怖がっていた3歳児も最後は帰るのが嫌で泣くほどでした(笑)

スタッフの方々も皆んな優しく楽しくてほんとあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。

どうしても船が揺れるので酔い止めは必須かなと思います。
レンタルしたウェットスーツを着てても最後の方は海の中で寒さを感じたのでウェットスーツもレンタルをオススメします。
子供用もちゃんと用意されていたので助かりました。

また機会があったら参加したいなと思いました☆

Since Hawaiian shows are not easy to come by, if you're staying at the Hilton, I think you won't regret going to this one located on the rooftop of the parking lot. There are more locals than Japanese people. You can fill your plate with buffet-style food from the good seats in order. It's better not to expect much in terms of taste. However, the content of the show is worth it. The final fire dance, in particular, is impressive.

なかなかハワイアンショーは見れないので、ヒルトンに泊まってるなら、駐車場の屋上にあるこちらに行っても損はしないと思います。
日本人より本国の方が多め。
良い席から順にブュッフェスタイルの料理をプレートに入れて行きます。味は期待しない方が良い。
ただ、ショーの内容は価値あり。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力ありますよ。

Good tour for our needs. Tell the people NO BAGS so everybody does not have to go back to pick up bags that never should have been on the bus!!

The meeting place had changed, and even at the pickup time, no one showed up, so I waited for about an hour. I started to feel anxious, but once the tour actually began, the Japanese guide provided a thorough and attentive experience. They took a lot of photos for us, and we had a great time. We were able to watch many turtles, and the sandbar was beautiful.

集合場所が変わってたこともあり、ピックアップ時間になっても全く来ず、1時間くらい待ちました。不安になりましたけど、ツアーが実際始まったら日本人ガイドの方がしっかりガイドして下さりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、楽しめました。亀もたくさんウォッチング出来ましたし、サンドバーも綺麗でした。

On the first night after arriving in Hawaii, I went to see a show! The hospitality began right from the buffet-style meal, where the staff was friendly and welcoming. Not only that, but they also livened up the atmosphere with hula dancing, and the food was delicious! After the meal, the show began! The impersonations were incredibly accurate, especially the one of Michael Jackson! It was amazing! There were also many performances by hula dancers, and I was completely captivated! The performance using torches was moving, and I was glad to see it! The staff who had been so hospitable during the meal also performed in the show, showcasing various dances along with the hula, and it conveyed a wonderful sense of teamwork. I felt very happy! Thank you so much!!

ハワイに着いて一日目の夜にショーを見にいきました！ビュッフェスタイルの食事の時から、もうすでにおもてなしは始まっていて、スタッフの方々はフレンドリーにおもてなしをしてくれますが、それだけでなく、フラを踊りながらその場を盛り上げてくれて、食事も美味しくいただきました！食事が終わったらショーの始まり！モノマネはめちゃくちゃ似ていて、特にマイケルジャクソン！すごかったです！その間にフラダンサーのパフォーマンスもたくさんあって、すごく引きこまれていきました！タイマツを使ったパフォーマンスは感動的で見れて良かったです！食事のときからおもてなしをしてくれている方が、ショーに出ていて、フラだけでなく、様々な踊りを行なっていたり、みんなで作り上げている感じが伝わってきてとても素敵な気持ちになりました！ありがとうございました！！

I went with my wife and daughter. The one and a half hours felt quite long, but being guided by a beautiful instructor through the magnificent highlands made me feel great. The scenery was also incredibly wonderful, and it was a lot of fun. The horses were all very gentle, and even my 9-year-old daughter enjoyed riding. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but I think it's not a problem at all if you have a rental car.

妻、娘　三人と行きました。　一時間半はかなり長く感じましたが、雄大な高原の中を美人さんのインストラクターに案内されて、気分も最高でした。又景色も非常に素晴らしく楽しかったです、馬さんもどれもおとなしく9歳の娘でも楽しく乗馬できました。ちょっとワイキキからは遠いですが、レンタカーが有れば全然問題ないと思います。

砂州は海面下にありましたが、この美しい場所に失望することはありません。亀や魚と一緒に泳ぎ、明るい日差しを楽しむことができます。スタッフは皆温かく親切です。この場所をお見逃しなく。

The sandbar was well beneath the sea level, but you never be disappointed for this beautiful place. You can swim with turtles and fishes and have a brightest sunshine.
Staff are all warm and kind. Don't miss this place.

I went four years ago, and it was fun and beautiful! So I participated for the second time. It was just a morning tour, but I was able to spend the afternoon leisurely, making it a meaningful experience, so I highly recommend it. The energy of the female attendant was fantastic, which made it even more enjoyable! (We also took photos at the end!) I want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!

4年前にも行ったのですが、楽しかった＆美しかった！ので2回目の参加をしてきました。
午前中だけのツアーでしたが、午後がゆっくり使えるので有意義に過ごす事ができたのでおすすめです。
アテンドの女性の方のノリが最高でより楽しかったです！（最後に写真も撮って頂きました！）
次にハワイに行った時もまた参加したいです！

The weather was bad, and the sandbar was cold and uncomfortable.

I was lured by the word "BBQ" and didn't pay much attention, but it felt more like eating hamburgers on a boat with everyone rather than a BBQ (laughs).

After snorkeling, we just returned and disbanded, so changing clothes was either in the restroom or right on the bus. It might be a good idea to bring a little extra towel!

天気が悪く
サンドバーは寒くて
辛かったです。

BBQという言葉に誘われてて
よく見てなかったのですが
BBQというよりは
ハンバーガーを船で
みんなで食べる感じでした（笑）

シュノーケルやったあとは
戻ってそのまま解散になるので
着替えはトイレかそのままバスに
乗る感じだったので
タオルは少し多めのがいいかも
しれません！

The day before was a heavy rain, so I participated with a gloomy mood, but on the day itself, the weather was beautifully clear, almost like a lie. The way the foreign male guide on the bus got everyone excited was amazing. It was definitely worth participating. The sandbar and snorkeling were incredibly fun. The lunch was delicious, just as rumored. It was a perfect day without any complaints. I definitely want to participate again next time.

前日が大雨だったのでお通夜な気分で参加したのですが、当日は嘘のように晴れ渡ったお天気。行きのバスの外国人男性ガイドさんの盛り上げ方は凄かったです。参加して間違いなし。サンドバーも、シュノーケリングも凄く楽しかった。お昼も評判通り美味しかった。文句なしの一日です。また今度も是非参加したいです。

The half-day tour of Oahu felt really like an add-on. It was disappointing that we spent quite a bit of time stopping at a jewelry store that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. I thought the students at the Polynesian Cultural Center were truly dedicated and wonderful. The show was also impressive.

オアフ島半日観光は、本当におまけ的な感じでした。途中記載になかった宝石屋さんに寄って、結構時間を割いていたのは残念です。ポリネシア文化センターは学生さんが本当に皆、一生懸命で素晴らしいと思いました。ショーも圧巻でした。

The bus ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center was ok. The guide who spoke most of the way there was not very entertaining. He did pass on a few useful tidbits, but not many considering he spoke for almost an hour and a half. The guide we got at the PCC was difficult to understand and was apparently supposed to shepherd about 20 or 30 people around. Since you had to be very close to him to be able to hear and understand him, most of what he said was missed by most of his charges. He led us from presentation to presentation for 2.5 hours, then, as he sent us on our way to our dinners, he gave us maps of the place. It would have been nice to have a program or something to explain what it was we were seeing in these presentations. The Luau was just ok. Waiters were passing out drinks in pineapples to select people...I was unaware of any offer of those drinks. I assume there was a separate charge, but I have no idea. The food was mediocre and the show after dinner was not much better. Then we went to the main event...HA, breath of life. Once again, we were not given any explanation of what the performance was showing us. A brief one-page synopsis would have been extremely helpful. Overall, I was very disappointed with this tour!

There were tropical fish, but I mistakenly thought I would see them on the offshore island, so I was expecting more beautiful coral reefs. Aside from that, it was a fun crew and delicious food (the kalua pig was the best), and I also got to see dolphins and turtles. It would have been even better if I understood English! Most of the participants were foreigners. The sailing in the nice weather during the morning felt great.

熱帯魚はいましたが、沖の島に渡って観るものと勝手に勘違いしていたのでもっと綺麗なサンゴ礁と期待していました。その事を除けば楽しいクルーと美味しい食事(カルアピック最高)、イルカや亀にも会えました。英語が判ればもっと最高かな！参加者はほぼ外人。天気の良い午前中セイリングは気持ち良かったです。

The beautiful sea and sky! The staff were friendly and very kind. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. During the sea turtle watching, I was able to see about three turtles! I was lucky enough to swim right next to a sea turtle while snorkeling!

綺麗な海と空！またスタッフさんも気さくでとても親切でした。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。ウミガメウォッチングでは3匹ほど見ることができました！シュノーケリング中に運良くすぐ側でウミガメと泳ぐことができました！

Fun day At Captain Bob's . Amazing experience to see the mantas and turtles . Good bbq lunch

We participated as a couple from Waikiki, taking the bus. We arrived early to avoid being late and walked about 10 minutes from the bus stop, but no one was there. There were several booths surrounded by fences, and the horses were lounging around, looking quite relaxed.

After waiting for 50 minutes, just as our reservation time was approaching, we heard cheerful voices and about ten people returned. They each took commemorative photos before leaving, and we thought we could get on right away, but we were told, "You have to wait for one more group to arrive," and we ended up waiting another 30 minutes.

Finally, we started with a family of four from California, but the eldest daughter’s horse wouldn’t move. The instructor, who was at the front of the line, just kept saying to kick its belly. I thought we could have switched horses, or even used my horse from the riding club.

We returned as scheduled, but we could have ridden for another 30 minutes, right? Unlike the previous group, we didn’t get to take commemorative photos, which was a bit disappointing. However, we did give a proper tip. If we participate again, we plan to request a horse that can run.

ワイキキから夫婦で、the busでの参加です。
遅れてはならないと、早めの到着でバス停から10分ほど歩いて到着するも、誰もいない。
柵で囲まれたブースがいくつかあり、馬たちはのんびりと座り込んでいたり、まあのびのびした感じです。
待つこと５０分、私たちの予約時間になろうとした頃、きゃっきゃと声が聞こえてきて、１０人くらいの皆さんが帰って来た。
そのみなさんがそれぞれ記念撮影などして帰って行き、すぐ乗れるのかと思いきや「もう一組客が来るから待ってて」と言われ、再び待つこと３０分。
カリフォルニアから来た４人家族と、やっとスタート。そしたらそこの長女の方が騎乗した馬が動かない。インストラクターのお姉さんは列の先頭にいたまま、お腹を蹴ってとしか言わない。
馬を替えるなり、なんだったら乗馬クラブに通っている私の馬と替えてもいいのに。
そして帰着は予定通りで、もう３０分は乗れたんじゃないの？前の組みたいに記念撮影もなく、なんだかなあ。
でも、チップはちゃんとあげました。
もし、再度参加するとしたら、走れる方でお願いしようと話しています。

another must thing to do with a local guide and guided tour inside cultural center is recommended who knows where to go and not miss any of the activities in each village. Best Luau ever !!!
