All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

highly recommended if you want to see USS Arizona and Missouri and learn about history and see planes and experience how hard to work on a submarine with limited space

I signed up for this tour on my first trip to Hawaii. I wanted to see sea turtles so badly... My wish came true, and I was able to see the sea turtles and even swim with them. It was a truly precious experience.

初のハワイでこのツアーに申し込みしました。ウミガメに会いたくて会いたくて…
願いが叶いウミガメを見ることと、一緒に泳ぐことまでできました。
とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。

The morning was really great. We were able to visit places that are only accessible by car. Above all, the guide was entertaining.

I think it wasn't necessary to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center in the afternoon. I especially think it's better not to take the shuttle bus that departs from the cultural center. Until then, it was fun. I couldn't enjoy the evening show because of that shuttle bus. I think the show itself was good.

午前中は本当に良かった。車じゃないと行けないところを回れた。何より、ガイドさんが面白かった。

午後のポルネシアン文化センターは行かなくても良かったと思う。特に文化センターから出ているシャトルバスに乗らない方がいいと思う。それまでは、楽しかった。夜のショーの間もそのシャトルバスのせいで楽しめなかった。ショー自体はいいと思う。

I have used Taormina many times personally. This time, there were too many people, and I couldn't make a reservation through the site, so I requested a reservation from here. The course was just the right amount and very delicious, but when I tried to check, I received the wrong receipt. There were no staff members who could speak Japanese, and in the end, I had to ask for corrections three times. The receipt was also quite difficult to read compared to usual, and while I understand some English, I think the purpose of using such a site is to avoid these kinds of issues, isn't it? I don't think I will order this course from this site again.

何度も個人で利用しているタオルミーナ。今回は人数が多く、サイトから予約出来ませんでしたのでこちらから予約をお願いしました。コースはちょうどよい量で大変おいしく良かったのですが、いざチェックをしようとすると、間違ったレシートが。日本語が出来るスタッフは不在で結局３回も訂正させました。レシートも普段と違いかなり見づらく、多少英語がわかるので大丈夫でしたが、こういったサイトを通すのはそういったことを回避したいからではないでしょうか？もうこちらのサイトからこのコースを頼むことはないと思います。

After having dinner, we watched the show.

The dinner started off with a fun atmosphere, thanks to a kind woman dressed in Hawaiian attire who adorned our heads with flower decorations and took photos for us.

To be honest, I participated with the show as the main focus and didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was surprised by how delicious everything was in the buffet! By the fourth day of our trip, I was getting tired of the heavy Hawaiian meats, but I was able to eat heartily. There were various performances during the meal, which made it enjoyable.

After the meal, we had dessert and felt great and full before watching the show. Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with the original material, but there were so many engaging elements that kept it interesting! The cast members were also very enthusiastic, which added to the fun. The highlight was definitely the Michael Jackson performance; despite a slight height difference, he looked just like the real thing! His dancing was incredible, and it felt like I was watching the real Michael. At the end, we took a photo together, and even up close, he looked just like him. I think anyone who knows famous rockers will enjoy this!

ディナーを食べてからショーを見る流れでした。

ディナーはハワイアンな格好の優しい女性が、頭に花飾りをつけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しい雰囲気ので始まりました。

実はショーをメインに考えて特にご飯には期待せずに参加しましたが、バイキング形式でどれも美味しくてびっくりしました！
旅行の4日目に行ったため、ハワイのお肉てんこ盛り＆味のこってりしたものに飽きて来ていた中、ぱくぱく食べることができました。
食事中もパフォーマンスが色々あって、楽しかったです。

食事の後はデザートを食べて、満腹でいい気分になってからショーを観ます。
正直私が元ネタになっている人をよく知らないということがありましたが、それでも飽きさせない演出が沢山盛り込まれていました！
そしてキャストの方々がサービス精神旺盛でそれもまた面白かったです。
やはり特によかったのはマイケルジャクソンで、少し身長は違えど本人としか見えないぐらいそっくり！
ダンスもバリバリで、本人を見ているような気分でした 笑
最後に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、近づいてもそっくりです。
有名どころのロッカーを知っていれば、誰でも楽しめると思います！

I made a reservation to match the sunset, and the food was delicious, and the staff's service was very friendly. It would have been even better if the seats were along the beach.

夕陽に合わせて予約しましたが料理も美味しくスタッフの対応もフレンドリーで大変良かったです。席がビーチ沿いならなお良かったかな〜

I'm so glad I was able to participate! My family was also thrilled. The hamburgers were delicious, and we got to see sea turtles while snorkeling! It was the best!!

Since we were staying at a condominium in Kailua, we drove there with a rental car without a shuttle. Unlike tour participants, when we arrived, there was no one around, so I was worried about whether we were at the right meeting spot and which boat to take until the boat arrived... I wish there had been some kind of landmark.

However, it felt like we were the only family there for the local gathering, apart from the tour guests...

参加できてとても良かったです！家族も大喜びでした。
ハンバーガーも美味しくいただき、シュノーケリングもホヌも見れたし！最高！！

カイルアのコンドミニアムに滞在していましたので、送迎無しで現地にレンタカーで行きましたが、ツアー参加とは違い、現地について誰もいない状況だったために、集合場所がこの場所で合っているのか？どの船だ？と現地到着時から船が来るまでの感、心配でしたが・・・。何か目印があると良いなと思いました。

しかし、ツアー客以外で、現地集合家族は私たちだけだったような気がしますが・・・。

We participated as a family. This was my second time attending, and I had a great time. My parents, who are celebrating their 60th birthday, also enjoyed going into the sea after a long time. There were other families with small children as well, making it an enjoyable experience that transcended generations.

家族で参加しました。私は２回目の参加でしたがとても楽しめました。
一緒に行った還暦を迎える両親も久しぶりに海に入り楽しかったそうです。
他にも小さなお子さんを連れたご家族などもおり、世代を越えて楽しめるactiveでした。

The main purpose of our trip to Hawaii with my spouse and our elementary and middle school children was the sandbar! It was amazing! Everything was perfect, from the guide to the lunch to the scenery! It was our first experience with snorkeling, and we had a great time in the beautiful ocean!

夫婦と小学生と中学生の子供とのハワイ旅行一番の目的がサンドバーでした！最高！ガイドのお姉さんもランチも景色もすべて最高です！シュノーケルもはじめての体験でしたが、綺麗な海で楽しめました♪

From a perfectly on time bus pick up to a great day on the water, this tour is definitely worth the money. Weather was a bit ordinary but crew did a fantastic job of making sure we all had fun and were looked after. Great hospitality, fantastic crew, awesome day!

I signed up to experience something typical of Hawaii, and it met my expectations.

At the buffet-style dinner, I was able to watch the cast perform hula dancing and music up close. I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious.

The highlight of the show was watching from the front row in the center on the second floor. It was a show that combined hula dancing and rock (or rather, a tribute show?), and I was able to enjoy it without getting bored. The fire dance was also impressive.

At the end, I was able to take photos with the cast, which became a wonderful memory.

ハワイらしいものを体験したく申し込みしましたが、期待通りの内容でした。

ビュッフェ形式のディナーでは間近でキャストの方々のフラダンスや演奏を観る事ができ、ディナーもあまり期待はしていなかったのですが、思いの外美味しかったです。

肝心のショーは二階の最前列真ん中での鑑賞でした。フラダンスとロック(…というかものまねショー？)が融合したショーであり、飽きずに楽しむ事ができました。ファイヤーダンスも圧巻でした。

退場の際にはキャストの方々と写真を撮ることができ、良い思い出になりました。

I gave a present to a family member. When I asked for their impressions, they said it was unfortunately rainy that day (not a downpour or a passing shower, but a light rain that kept falling continuously) and it was so cold that they were shivering the whole time. They mentioned that they could only see the turtles for a brief moment... I thought it would be nice if there were special courses or activities that could be enjoyed even on rainy days.

身内にプレゼントしました。
感想を聞いたところ、当日は生憎の雨模様で（スコールや通り雨ではなく、小雨がずーーーっと降ってました）寒すぎて、ずっと震えていたそうです。
亀も一瞬だけしか見えなかったそうな…
雨の日でも楽しめるような、特別コース等があると良いなあと思いました。

We participated in a monitor event as a couple. It takes place on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center's theater. First, we checked in, received stickers to wear on our chests, and enjoyed a welcome Mai Tai and pineapple in a tent next to the reception. There are both alcoholic and non-alcoholic Mai Tais available. The background music is live Hawaiian music. By the time we finished our Mai Tais, a whole roasted pig was served.

It's buffet style, so you can take what you like and sit down. A hula girl performs right there. Around 7:30 PM, we moved to the show venue. There is a photo booth at the entrance where everyone takes turns getting their pictures taken. The show starts with hula dancing.

After that, there are impersonators of Elvis, Michael, and finally Katy Perry, who sing in order. There are also fire dances and Polynesian dances. Even as a couple in our 30s, we enjoyed the popular songs. It seemed like Katy Perry's performance was more for a younger audience, as the couple in their 50s next to us didn't seem to recognize her. Elvis even came down to the audience and shook hands with us.

Although we were monitor participants, our seats were about the third row from the front, very close to the stage, which was very satisfying. You can take photos without flash, but it seems that videos are prohibited, so be careful! True to the title "Rock A Hula," you can enjoy both rock and hula at the same time, making for a well-balanced experience! The food is delicious, and I highly recommend it!

夫婦でモニター参加しました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターのシアター4階にあります。
まずチェックインして、胸元にシールを貼り、受付横にあるテント内で
ウェルカムマイタイとパインが振舞われます。マイタイはアルコールとノンアルコールがあります。BGMは生のハワイアン。マイタイが飲み終わる頃には豚の丸焼きが出てきます。
ブュッフェスタイルなので好きなものをとり着席。その場でフラガールが踊ってくれます。

わからない様子でしたので、若い方向けのように思いました。
エルビスは途中客席まできてくれて握手しました。

モニター参加でしたが
席はvip席を除いて前から3列目程度でとても近く、ステージはとても満足でした。
写真はフラッシュなしで撮れますが、ムービーは禁止のようなのでご注意を！
ロックアフラという題名どおり
ロックとフラを一変に楽しめるので
バランスよく楽しめました！食事も美味しいですしおすすめです！

The arrangements were smooth as well. The pick-up and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

It was a wonderful tour. I wish it had been a little shallower, though. The hamburger was delicious too! The conductor was great as well. Thank you!

素晴らしいツアーでした。もう少し浅かったら良かったけど。ハンバーガーも美味しかったですよ～。コンダクターも良かったです。ありがとう。

This was my first time participating. Since I made a reservation for the evening on the day of arrival, I was able to spend the day without worrying about dinner. It was within walking distance from the hotel, so I enjoyed some window shopping on the way, and there was someone at the reception who spoke Japanese, which made the check-in process smooth.

We started with drinks and pineapple, and then I piled my plate high at the buffet and enjoyed a lot of food. During that time, I enjoyed the singing by the performers, hula dancing, and even participated in some simple choreography.

After the meal, it was time for the Rock-a-Hula show. Elvis Presley came close to us, and the quality of the songs was high, with many familiar tunes that I could sing along to. There were also many costume changes in the hula performance, making it a packed tour. At the end, I was able to leave my camera with the staff and take a commemorative photo, which became a great memory.

I’m glad I chose this for my first day’s dinner!

今回初めて参加させていただきました。到着日の夜の部に予約したので夕飯の事を考えずに１日過ごせました。ホテルから歩いて行けるところだったので、途中ウィンドウショッピングをしながら向かい、受付には日本語を喋れる方もいてスムーズに入れました。まずはお食事からでドリンクとパイナップルをいただき、そのあとはブュッフェでお皿にたくさん盛りつけておなかいっぱいいただきました。その間、お兄さんの歌や、フラダンス、簡単な振り付け参加型で楽しめました。
食事が終わり次はロック･ア･フラショーです。近くまでエルビス・プレスリーが来てくれたり、歌のクオリティーも高く知っている曲ばかりだったので一緒に口ずさむこともでき、更にフラも見れて衣装チェンジもたくさんあり、盛りだくさんのツアーでした。最後にスタッフにカメラを預け記念写真も撮ってもらえていい思い出になりました。
初日のディナーに選んで良かったです！

The food and entertainment was fabulous.
The service was great.
Everyone was very accommodating too.

We participated in the monitor tour, and since one person's fee was free, it was just my husband and me. The meals are served under a tent in a corner of the Hawaiian Center's corridor, so it doesn't feel very luxurious. On rainy or cold days, the environment can be quite uncomfortable. Therefore, if you prioritize food and atmosphere, I think it would be better to have dinner at a hotel restaurant for the same price. After eating under the tent, we moved to the neighboring theater to watch a show for about an hour. The show was very impressive and memorable. So, even though the food was average, the show was extravagant and good, making it worthwhile overall. We stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village and walked to the venue in 15 minutes, so we participated without transportation. When the pink line bus arrives, you can ride for free to near the Hawaiian Center by showing your credit card (JCB card). It's about a 5-minute bus ride from Hilton Hawaiian Village.

モニターツアーで一人分の料金が無料になるので夫と私の二人で参加しました。食事は、ハワイアンセンターの通路の一角のテントの下でするので、あまり豪華な感じはしません。雨の時や、寒い日は、それなりの環境になってしまいます。なので、料理と雰囲気を重視するならば、同じお金でホテルのレストランで夕食を食べた方が良いと思います。食事をテントの下でして、おわったら、隣のシアターに移動し、一時間ほどショーをみるスタイルです。ショーは、とても見ごたえがあり、思い出にのこりました。なので、料理が普通でも、ショーは豪華で良かったので、総合的に考えると、行って良かったです。私たちはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊し、徒歩15分で会場まで行けたので送迎はなしで参加しました。ピンクラインのバスがくれば、クレジットカード(JCBカード)提示で、バスの乗車は無料でハワイアンセンターの近くまで行けます。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジからはバスで5分くらいです。

I wanted to have an extraordinary experience, so I attended this highly-rated rock and roll show. To put it simply, it's a combination of hula & fire dance and impersonation show, but the quality is outstanding. It's guaranteed to be a hit regardless of nationality.

At the dinner buffet beforehand, there seemed to be a significant number of travelers from Japan and the United States. If you're hesitating, you definitely should see it. I felt that it would excite people across generations. In fact, there were many families attending with three generations.

非日常の体験をしたいと考え、評価の高いこちらのロックアフラショーを拝見しました。
簡単に言うとフラ&ファイヤーダンス、モノマネショーですが、クオリティが高すぎます。国籍問わず盛り上がれること間違いなしです。
その前のディナービュッフェでは日本とアメリカからの旅行者が圧倒的に多い印象でした。
迷っているのなら必ず観た方が良いです。世代を超えて興奮するに違いないと感じました。現に三世代で来られてるご家族の方もたくさんいらっしゃっておりました。

I'm glad I was able to go to Sandbar, but I hardly saw any fish while snorkeling. If you're thinking, "I'll just snorkel here, so I don't need to go anywhere else!" it's better to go somewhere else. The crew members were all friendly, and I had a great time.

サンドバーは実際行けてよかったですが、シュノーケルはほぼ魚みれず。シュノーケルここでやるから、他はいいや！って思ってる方は別でいったほうがよいです。船員さんはみな気さくで楽しめました。

I always participate in this tour when I go to Hawaii!!
Even though it's a short half-day OP tour, it mainly features dolphin swimming, hula experiences, a burger lunch on the boat, and surprises, making it 120% satisfying!!!
I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!!!

ハワイに行くと必ずこのツアーに参加します！！
半日というショートなOPツアーながらドルフィンスイムをメインに
フラ体験や船上でのバーガーランチ＆サプライズなどなど120％満足する内容です！！！
またハワイに行ったときは必ず参加します！！！！！

I experienced this during spring break. My son, who is in the third grade, my niece in her twenties, and I in my forties all took on the challenge together. It was everyone's first time riding a horse, and we were worried about whether we could actually ride, but we were able to smoothly get on the horse from the mounting block.

The instructions were in English, but they used gestures to teach us, so even with zero English skills, we managed just fine. We rode in a line through the grasslands and between the trees, not just on flat ground but also on rocky mountain paths, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery for about an hour. It was a valuable experience that is hard to come by in Japan.

Although it's quite a distance from Waikiki, it took two hours by bus from Ala Moana Center, and it was worth the effort to get there.

春休みに体験しました。
小学3年生の息子、20代の姪、40代の私の3名で挑戦。ひとりで乗馬はみんな初めてで、馬に乗れるのか…と心配でしたが、台にのった状態から馬にまたがったのでスンナリ乗れました。
説明は英語でしたが、身ぶり手振りで教えてくれたので英語力ゼロでもどうにかなりました。
一列になって草原や木の間、平坦なところだけでなく歩きにくそうな山道を進み途中途中で景色を眺めるために止まりながら約1時間、貴重な体験ができました。日本ではなかなか体験できないのでよかったです。
ワイキキから距離がありますが、アラモアナセンターからバスで２時間、頑張って行った甲斐がありました。

This is my third time at Sandbar, and it's the first time the weather has been bad and cold. There's a world of difference between good and bad weather, but the staff were very attentive, and I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, so it was a decent tour overall.

サンドバー三回目で天気が悪く寒いのは初めてです。天気が良いのと悪いのでは天と地の差が有りますがスタッフが色々気を使ってくれシュノーケルでは亀も見れたのでまずまずのツァーでした。

We had a great experience at the Luau even though we had a lot of rain. Don't worry, they provided ponchos for everyone, which helped keep us warm too. My son loved the fire dancers and the food was good too. The chief who narrated the show was hilarious.

It takes more than 1 hour and 30 minutes from Waikiki. The 1 hour and 30 minute trail ride had gates every 200 meters, and after opening and closing them, we moved at a brisk pace and then to a gallop, without any worries about the horses running away. The horses also seemed to be stress-free. Along the way, a donkey followed us, and it was adorable. The lady was also very friendly with a lovely smile.

ワイキキからは1時間30分以上です。1時間30分のトレール乗馬は200mごとにでゲートがあり、それを開け閉めしてからの速足から駆足で、暴走の心配がなかったです。馬もストレスがないように見えました。途中でロバが後をついてきて、可愛かったです。お姉さんも笑顔が素敵だった。

I was very satisfied with the transportation, crew, and tour content. The crew was polite and helped us when we were in trouble. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to take lots of photos and practice snorkeling. The boat hardly rocked, and I didn't feel seasick.

The handmade hamburger for lunch was delicious! The only regret I have is that my shoulders got really sunburned, possibly because the sunscreen was too thin (laughs). This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!

送迎、乗組員、ツアー内容ともに大満足です。
乗組員も丁寧で、困っていると助けてくれたり、
サンドバーでの時間もたっぷりあり、写真をたくさんとったり、シュノーケルの練習をしたりできました。
船もほとんど揺れず、酔いはありませんでした。

お昼のハンバーガーが手作りで、お肉が美味しかったです‼
日焼け止めが薄かったのか、肩がめちゃくちゃ焼けたことだけが後悔です(笑)
またハワイにいったら参加したいツアーです‼

This was a great way to actually *SEE* Oahu. Our tour guide Alex was and excellent driver and guide. We loved it.

This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.

The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.

We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.

It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.

初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。

サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。

移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。

移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^

My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.

11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです

As soon as I arrived, it was raining, and I felt a bit chilly and anxious, but the staff were very kind, which made me feel at ease. I also found several turtles, making it a very fulfilling day.

着いたとたんに雨で、肌寒く不安でしたが、スタッフの方も、とても親切で安心して過ごせました。
亀も何匹もみつけて、とても充実した１日でした。
