All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

After seven years, I really wanted to go to Angel's Beach, so I joined the tour alone. The conclusion is that even as a solo traveler, the tour staff were very attentive, making it enjoyable. There were families, newlyweds, and people from abroad, and everyone seemed to have a great time.

We couldn't land on the perfect sandbar, but it was about knee-deep. The weather was nice and hot. I played volleyball with some participants on the sandbar, and Yuki was great at getting everyone excited, high-fiving the foreigners and newlyweds.

There were plenty of honu (sea turtles) that came close to the boat, and everyone was moved by that. The snorkeling preparation was well-managed, and they took safety very seriously.

The hamburger was definitely the best! It was just delicious! It might vary from person to person, but everyone was enjoying it.

The tide level at the sandbar changes from day to day, so I recommend checking it yourself and participating when it's low during your stay. Overall, it was a tour that really energized me. I highly recommend it!

7年ぶり、どうしても天使の海に行きたくて1人で参加しました。
結論は1人でもツアースタッフさんが構ってくれるので楽しいです。家族連れや新婚さん、外国の方も見えましたがみんな楽しんでいましたよ。
完璧なサンドバーに上陸はできないですが、膝くらいでした。天気も良くて暑かったです。サンドバーで参加者何人かとバレーしましたがユキさん盛り上げ上手で外国の方、新婚さんとハイタッチしたり盛り上がりました。
ホヌはたくさん来てくれて、船の近くにも来てくれてみんな感動してました。
シュノーケルは準備も手伝ってくれるし、安全管理も凄くしてくれています。
やっぱハンバーガー最高でした！とにかく、美味しい！人によるかもですが、みんな美味しいと食べていました。
サンドバーの潮位は日によって変わるので、自分で検索して滞在中に低い時に参加されるのをおすすめします。
とにかく、元気が貰えるツアーでした。おすすめです！

As expected from being a filming location for Jurassic Park, there was a truly magnificent spot that felt immense and full of nature's breath. The photo is from a place on the way to Manoa Falls. Personally, the view from Tantalus Lookout was also spectacular, and the sandwich that was served for lunch was exquisite.

さすがジュラシックパークのロケ地として使われただけあり、すごく巨大で自然の息吹を感じる素敵なスポットがあった。写真はマノアの滝に向かう途中にあるところ。個人的にはタンタラスの丘も絶景で、ランチに出てきたサンドイッチが絶品だった。

It was great! Pick up and drop off near hotel area, perfect. Sunrise hike to Diamond Head is a great way to start the day. You can go at your own pace. Views of sunrise and surrounding areas were beautiful! After the hike, driver dropped us off to Eggs N Things. Delicious!! After breakfast, driver picked us up and dropped us off near hotel.

Andrew is the best. He lets us see turtle head! I love it a lot.

Sweetest and most talented cast. Loved the performance

This was our third trip to Hawaii as a family. This time, we participated in the Manoa Falls hike for the first time. I think we walked for about 30 to 40 minutes from the entrance. Since it's a rainy area, the path was muddy. Because of that, it felt like we were climbing a mountain more than I had imagined. My sons seemed to handle it well, though. After getting tired, we were moved by the sight of the waterfall! The guide and the driver also pointed out photo spots and took family pictures for us!

The view from Tantalus Lookout after Manoa Falls was also magnificent. My sons were impressed as well. The sandwiches we had there were really delicious! I highly recommend this tour. Next time, I would like to join another plan from this company. Thank you!

家族で3回目のハワイ。
今回は初めてマノアの滝ハイキングに参加しました。入り口からは30分〜40分くらい歩いたと思います。雨の多い地域とのことで道はぬかるんでいます。そのため想像よりしっかり山を登ったような感覚でした。息子たちは余裕だったようですが。疲れた後に着いて見える滝には感動します！ガイドの方も運転手さんも写真スポットを教えてくれたり、家族写真も撮ってくれました！
マノアの滝の後に向かったタンタラスの丘からの景色がまた壮大でした。
息子たちも感動してました。
そこで食べるサンドイッチもとっても美味しかったです！
お勧めのツアーです。
次回はまたこちらの会社の別のプランに参加したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I didn't have high expectations, but it was easy to get to near the hotel, and I had a great time. This time I only participated in the show, but joining with dinner also seemed nice. On the way back, Michael and Presley will see you off and take photos with you.

あまり期待をしていなかったが、ホテルの近くで行きやすく、楽しかった。今回はショーのみの参加でしたが、ディナー付きの参加も良さそうでした。帰りにマイケルやプレスリーがお見送りをして一緒に写真を撮ってくれます。

Had an absolute great time. It was a nice day outside, the water was calm. The staff was very nice, greeting, helpful with questions. The food was good, the buffet I couldn't complain. The chicken and roast beef were top notch as well as the salads and desserts. The entertainment was fun, learned out to do some Polynesian dancing on board and the dancers were really good and crowd uplifting. I would do it again. Cruise was about 2-3 hours on the water. Definitely good views of the sunset for photo taking.

If you arrive a little early to see the sunset, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the evening sun, but it is a bit pricey. Since you can't guarantee a window seat, it would be nice if there were a tour that guarantees window seating.

日没を見るための少し早めに入ると素晴らしい夕日が見れます、ただ少しお高めですね。
窓際席を確約できないので出来たら窓際確約ツアーがあったら良いですね。

I wanted to see a hula dance and fire show in Hawaii, so I searched for various options and decided to participate in this one. Unlike others, it was a cozy, intimate dinner show with a very special atmosphere! You can see the performance up close, and since it's not a buffet, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. I recommend this for those who want to enjoy a Hawaiian show and meal slowly. If I could make one request, since the dishes are quite substantial, I think it would be nice to have lighter desserts like sorbet or fruit!

ハワイでフラダンス・ファイヤーショーが観たくて色々探し、こちらに参加させていただきました。
他の物とは違い、こじんまりとはしていますが少人数でのディナーショーですごく特別感のあるものでした！
近くで見ることもでき、ビュッフェではないので食事をゆっくりと楽しみながら楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーと食事をゆっくりと楽しみたい方におすすめです
ひとつリクエストするなら、お料理がしっかりと出るのでデザートはシャーベットやフルーツなどサッパリするものが嬉しいと思いました！

For those of us in our 60s, it was a nostalgic favorite song. The dancing was also great. The fire dance was the best. The food had improved compared to before.

我々６０代にとっては懐かしい好みの曲でした。ダンスも上手かった。ファイヤーダンスは最高でした。料理も以前より良くなっていた。

The food was, of course, excellent, and the service and hospitality were top-notch. The rich pasta was exquisite! The flavors of the fresh ingredients spread throughout, filling my heart as well. I will definitely be coming back.

料理は勿論、サービスや接客も質が高く
最高でした。
濃厚なパスタが絶品！新鮮な食材の旨味が広がり、心まで満たされました。
リピート確定です。

I boarded three times before the COVID-19 pandemic. The atmosphere was nice, and there were staff members who could speak Japanese. I was really looking forward to this trip to Hawaii after a long time, but the staff prioritized foreign guests and were not friendly towards Japanese guests. The drinks I ordered took over 30 minutes to arrive, and they didn't even ask if I wanted a refill on the bread. The only saving grace was the beautiful fireworks from Hilton. Overall, I'm just disappointed.

コロナ禍前に3回乗船しました。
雰囲気も良く、日本語も出来るスタッフもいました。今回久しぶりのハワイでとっても楽しみにしてましたが、スタッフは外人のゲストファーストで、日本人には愛想無し。頼んだドリンクは30分以上来ない。パンのおかわりさえ聞かない。唯一ヒルトンの花火が綺麗だった事が救い。
とにかく残念の一言

From beginning to end this was a wonderful experience! The entertainment and the food were exceptional, as was the hospitality. I highly recommend this event.

we had an amazing time at The Sandbar. we enjoyed playing volleyball. The staff was amazing! and the captain was absolutely awesome. it was our favorite excursion of our trip in Hawaii.

I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guider is so nice, and organized very well, cared every person in the group, answered questions patiently. Also, the tour planned itself is excellent, no hurry, enough time for each activities, especially for seniors.

Thank you!

Eine sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis!
Kann ich allen empfehlen.

I participated with just a show ticket. Although I was in the public relations section, it wasn't too far away, so it was fine. After the show, you can take photos with the cast. I wanted to take a picture with the backup dancers, but it was only with the main cast, which was disappointing.

ショーチケットのみで参加しました。
広報の席はでしたがそこまで距離があるわけでもないので大丈夫でした。
ショーの後にはキャストと写真を撮れます。バックダンサーの方と撮りたかったがメインキャストのみだったのが残念です。

The guide was friendly, and it turned out to be a very enjoyable tour! The food was delicious, and we had a great time. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made us very satisfied.

案内人の人も気さくでとても楽しいツアーになりました！
ご飯もおいしく、楽しい時間になりました。
ウミガメも見ることができ、大満足です。

Loved the food and the show was great. I will come back and recommend everything

It was an exhilarating show that was completely different from what I had imagined a Polynesian show would be! First of all, the power of the Polynesian show was incredibly moving. And the rock show was the best. Michael's singing and dancing were a sight to behold! After the show, there was a greeting and photo opportunity. I took a picture with Michael and shook his hand, but I was shaking all over, and I could tell he was performing despite being exhausted, which brought me to tears. It's a soulful show that I highly recommend everyone to see!

自分が想像していたポリネシアンショーとは一線を画す大興奮ショーでしたよ！
まず、ポリネシアンショーの迫力は凄く感動しました。
そして、ロックショー、最高でした。マイケルの歌、ダンス、一見あり！
ショーの後、グリーティング、写真撮影出来ました。
マイケルと写真撮影して握手してもらいましたが、全身震えていて、満身創痍でパフォーマンスしているのが分かり、涙が出ました。
そんな魂のショー、是非皆さん観てください！

Overall is very good. The lobster is very tasty, the steak is great, the view to the fire work is amazing, the crews are super friendly, the dance performance is fantastic. We enjoyed the dance at the end with a lot of laughs & funs together. Highly recommended.

It was a very enjoyable show. The composition was good, and it had a Hawaiian feel, which made me satisfied. Since it's an indoor theater, the acoustics and visibility are great, and the seats are spacious, which I think is nice.

とても楽しいショーでした。構成もよくハワイらしさもあり満足です。
屋内のシアターなので音響、見通しもよく席もゆったりしているので良いと思います。

Such a fun night. The food options were delicious. The activities and vendors were interesting and informative. The show is very entertaining and fun to watch. The host, Paul, was fantastic and he made it special for my fiancé and l as he heard we got engaged a few days prior. We got to get our own dance along those who were celebrating anniversaries. That was such a sweet surprise and totally unexpected. I highly recommend luau! The transportation was also fantastic and super easy.

Our group was looking forward to our first luau and as we arrived at the destination it started raining. While the hosts were quick to hand out rain ponchos, the rain affected the event.

First, the hosts were rushed to get folks registered and get things moving. As a result, our group was never able to get our picture taken before the event started. Knowing this was an outdoor venue and its rainy season, I would have expected that certain things would have been under cover - like the photo area, the stage and honestly even the seating.

The food was under cover and was good. Not spectacular but good. A couple of our group had raw fish and were all sick that night so having certain foods outside for an extended period was not smart.

The performance from the warriors was good. They tried to show the different dress/dance of various polynesian groups but it would have benefited from more clarity on their differences as they all stared looking the same.

The ONE performance I was looking forward to was the fire dance. It was a disappointment. I expected all the adult performers to have choreographed a phenomenal dance of fire, complete with fire twirling, throwing etc. Instead they handed the "fire dance" off to one young boy for a solo act and two young boys to show off what they learned. YES, they were very good! but the magic of a "warrior tribe" dancing the fire dance was lost. The adults did come back for a grand finale - but it seems confusing at best.

Not what I expected.

The captain, crew, boat accommodations were all good - great! But the reason for this excursion was the snorkeling and that was just OK.

First the good: The crew did a fantastic job taking care of us all on the boat. They seamlessly prepped all the food without us realizing they were doing it, and then served it very effectively! It was really good and plenty of it. Gotta be fast to ask for seconds tho as the crew is very efficient cleaning up. The boat ride was also great!

Now the OK: I fully expected the crew would extend their care to the snorkeling adventure and split us up into groups and take us around the coral reef. They did not, and we were left to swim and fend for ourselves not really knowing how to navigate a reef without coming in contact with it, not really knowing what we should be looking for. I "happened" across a turtle that came up from the depths of the coral and almost collided with me... so I saw that one, but not much else because I wasn't sure what I should be looking at.

The window-side seat on the top floor had a great view and the food was delicious. However, the size of the steak was clearly smaller than those at the surrounding tables, which was disappointing. Additionally, they did not bring water to us or other Japanese guests.

I felt a bit sad about various things, but the evening and night views were wonderful, and we could see the fireworks well, so I think it was still a good experience. I believe those who participate can enjoy it if they have a relaxed mindset.

窓際席、一番上の階で景色も良くお料理も美味しかったです。しかし、ステーキの大きさが周りのテーブルより明らかに小さく、残念な気持ちになりました。また、私たちや他の日本人にはお水を持ってきてくれませんでした。
色々悲しい気持ちでしたが、夕景、夜景は素晴らしく花火も良く観れたので良かったのかなとは思います。
参加される方は心にゆとりがあれば楽しめるとは思います。

Last year, we registered our marriage and, being a bit older, we weren't considering a wedding ceremony. However, after researching sunset cruises, we found an option for a vow renewal. We updated our marriage vows for our second anniversary and received a certificate, commemorative photos, and a bottle of champagne for toasting.

We were seated at a couple's table by the window, allowing us to enjoy the view while dining. The sunset and the night view of Honolulu were absolutely wonderful. There were hula dances and various performances, and everyone on the boat had a great time. I chose the one-star meal since I have a small appetite, but the portion was more than enough.

昨年、入籍をし年齢高めで挙式などは考えていませんでしたが、サンセットクルーズをリサーチしてバウリニューアルというのがあったので、入籍２年目の結婚の誓いの更新を行い証明書と記念写真、乾杯のシャンパン1本いただきました。
席は窓際のカップルシート指定で景色を見ながらお食事が出来ます。
サンセット、ホノルルの夜景、とても素敵です。フラダンスや色々なダンス、船内のみんなで盛り上がりました。
少食なので1スターにしましたが、充分な量です。

We participated in mid-October as a couple in our 60s. Among the approximately 20 participants from Japan, everyone except us were newlyweds. There were also couples from Australia who were retired.

Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the white sand was not visible until the tide went out. If you want to walk on the white sand shown in the photos, you'll need to adjust your timing for participation.

However, with the blue sky and sea, the uniquely shaped mountains visible in the distance, and the cheerful hospitality of the crew on board, I felt a sense of liberation. We also saw sea turtles and manta rays. I would like to participate again.

If you're looking for clearer water and a variety of fish while snorkeling, Hanauma Bay might be a better option.

10月中旬に60歳台夫婦で参加。日本から参加された方20名程は、私たち以外新婚さんでした。他にはオーストラリアから来たリタイア後のご夫婦もいた。
時期的に潮が高くて、白い砂が見えるまで潮が引いてはいなかった。写真にある白い砂の上を歩きたければ、参加時期の調整は必要。
でも、青い空と海、視界に見える独特の形をした山、船上クルーの方々の陽気なおもてなしがあり、心が解放された気分になった。ウミガメとマンタも見られた。また参加したい。
シュノーケリング時の海の透明度や見られる魚の豊富さを求めるなら、ハナウマベイの方が良いかも。

This tour includes a sandwich lunch at Tantalus after visiting Manoa Falls. I signed up mainly for the Manoa Falls hike, but the lunch sandwiches and the view from Tantalus were just as great! The guide also took a lot of photos for us, thank you.

For those participating, my advice is that there are many mosquitoes in Manoa, so I recommend bringing insect repellent and, if possible, wearing long sleeves and long pants. Also, since it's a rainy area, the ground can be slippery. Having non-slip shoes would be reassuring.

こちらのツアーはマノアの滝の後に、タンタラスの丘でのサンドイッチランチがついていて、マノアの滝ハイキングメインで申し込みましたが、同じくらいランチのサンドイッチとタンタラスの丘からの景色がとてもよかったです！
ガイドさんもたくさん写真をとってくれたり、ありがとうございました。
参加される方へのアドバイスは、マノアは蚊が多いので、虫よけの持参、できれば長袖、長ズボンをおすすめします。あと、雨が多い地域なので地面が滑ります。滑りにくい靴があると安心です。
