All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

We participated as a family of three!
We chose the Jeep Tour, Fish Pond & Garden Tour, and Movie Village.
The weather was great, and the scenery and air gave us goosebumps!
The guide was also entertaining, and our 5-year-old daughter had a lot of fun!

天気も良く景色と空気に鳥肌たちました(・∀・)
ガイドの方もおもしろく、5歳の娘も
すごく楽しんでいました♡

The dinner cruise was amazing and even though we had over cast of Vog and spinkles all day we still captured a beautiful sunset from the ships deck. The food was delicious and staff was wonderful - would highly recommend

We chose the buffet style, and it was a fun meal while enjoying live guitar performances and hula dancing.

After the meal, we were led to the venue where the show began.

Everything was performed live by the band and look-alikes singing, with an astonishingly high level of quality. It's completely different from Japanese comedy look-alikes. In between, there were hula dances arranged in a rock style. After the show, there was also a time for commemorative photos.

It was truly a worthwhile and enjoyable entertainment experience.

I would like to visit again when I go to Hawaii.

The participants were mostly Japanese, and the guide who took us out to sea spoke Japanese, which made the tour worry-free for us since we couldn't speak English.

We were blessed with good weather, enjoying clear skies during this season! Although we couldn't see the sandbar at low tide, the clarity of the seawater was amazing! The interactions with the guide and other participants were also very enjoyable.

From the boat, we were able to spot several sea turtles, and during my first-ever snorkeling experience, I miraculously swam right next to a sea turtle.

Since we went on our honeymoon, it became an unforgettable memory for us!

I would love to participate again next time!

参加者がほぼ日本人、海に出てからのガイドさんも日本語が通じる方で英語が話せない私たちにとって不安要素が無いツアーでした。

天候にも恵まれ、この時期に晴天！
潮が引いた状態のサンドバーは見られなかったものの、海水の透明感が凄かった！
ガイドさんや参加者とのバレーもとても面白かったです＾＾

船上からのウミガメウォッチはカメさんを何匹も確認出来、生まれて初めてのシュノーケルでは、奇跡的にウミガメの真横を泳ぐことが出来ました。

新婚旅行で行ったので一生忘れられない思い出になりました♪

また次行く時も参加したいと思います＼(^o^)／

The VIP Green Room Dinner and Show was the ultimate Legends in concert experience. Before the dinner my wife and I had the opportunity to relax in the VIP section where the complimentary drink and snacks set the right tone for the evening. The Elvis impersonator was available to take pictures minutes prior to being seated a few feet from the stage. The main course was delicious. Wife said the Steak was excellent but didn't care for the Salmon. I enjoyed them both. The drink tickets were an added benefit to compliment an already wonderful dinner. The desert was a delicious and beautifully arrange. The show began at about 815PM and the ELVIS impersonator was an awesome entertainer. He did about 4 songs to open the show and really had us comfortable and enjoying the show. He came off the stage and greeted the guest in the VIP section and planted a kiss and lei on a few unsuspecting women, my wife being one of them. Then the Lady Gaga impersonator had an outstanding performance. She WOWed the crowd with a descending entrance from above the stage. She was very fitting for show and a joy to watch. The The Michael Jackson impersonator was to the letter dancing like Mike. Although he wasn't as vocal as the other performers, those classic Michael Jackson dance move had us clapping and snapping. There were several other performances between impersonators that were very well performed as well. The host, ELVIS, did a final stage appearance and the grand finale was epic. After the show we had the opportunity to take photos with the entertainers and consume more beverages. Just as we thought the night was complete, a young lady validated our parking and we only paid 8 dollars in the Royal Hawaiian Parking Garage. My wife enjoyed it so much she said she's coming back. It was actually the best stage performance I'd ever been to. From check-in to check-out the whole experience was over the top classic.

We liked this. There were very few food options. The crew were friendly and the view stunning.

Should have offered a soda with dinner. The complimentary Mai tai was nice.

The weather was incredibly nice, and the staff (Kelly, Yuki, Brian) were very kind and took great care of us. We were able to see sea turtles and many beautiful fish, and both the hamburgers and wine were delicious. We took a lot of great photos, especially the ones of us jumping from the boat. Playing volleyball was also fun.

天気がすごーーい良くて、スタッフの皆さんも優しくて大変良くしてくださいました。(ケリー、ゆきちゃん、ブライアン)ウミガメも見れたし、キレイな魚もたくさん見れたし、ハンバーガーもワインも美味しかったし、良い写真がたくさん撮れました(特に船からジャンプしている写真)。バレーボールも楽しかったです。

I had a great time with my grandson, my eldest son and his wife.

First, we enjoyed a beach volleyball game at a sandbar with a water depth of about 20 cm. It was a multinational game, and the skill level wasn't too high. After that, we practiced snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling, but I had almost no problems. The only issue was when I tried to breathe while swimming freestyle out of habit, and water came in, making me cough. However, since we practiced in shallow water, I was fine after that.

On our way to the coral reef, we encountered several sea turtles. From the boat, they looked like clumps of seagrass floating in the water, but they were all sea turtles. Occasionally, they would come up for air, and my grandkids were thrilled.

We then arrived at our final destination, the coral reef, which was about 50 meters in diameter. We put on life jackets and fins and enjoyed snorkeling. There were plenty of colorful fish around the coral, and we had a great time exploring the reef. I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, we couldn't this time. However, we did get to see sea turtles resting on the reef.

Those who were confident swimmers were diving around the boat, and I thought that was a fun way to enjoy it too. My 4-year-old grandson was initially scared and wouldn't swim away from the boat, but when I held his hands and swam together, he had a lot of fun. His impression was, "I saw red and white fish from the surface."

There were also foreign people on the boat, and I became quite friendly with those who enjoyed beach volleyball with us.

We made wonderful family memories.

孫と長男夫妻、妻と一緒に楽しみました。
まず、水深20CM程度のサンドバーで、多国籍のそれほどレベルの高くないビーチバレーを楽み、その後、シュノーケルの練習をしました。シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、問題はほとんどなし。問題があるとすると、クロールで泳いだ時、習慣で息継ぎをしようとしたら、水が入ってきてゲボゲボ。でも、浅いところで練習できたので、それ以降はもう大丈夫でした。
そこから、珊瑚礁に行く途中で複数のウミガメに遭遇。船の上から見ると、海草の束がいくつも浮かんでいるように見えたのですが、それらがみんなウミガメ。時々、顔を上げてのサービスもしてくれ、孫たちは大喜びでした。
そして、最終目的地の珊瑚礁に到着。そこは直径50mほどの珊瑚礁で、ライフジャケットとフィンを付けてシュノーケリング楽しみました。サンゴの周りは色とりどりの魚が一杯で、楽しみながら珊瑚礁を一廻りしました。機会に恵まれると、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできるそうですが、今回は残念ながら一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでした。しかし、珊瑚礁で休んでいるウミガメにはちゃんと出会えました。
泳ぎに自信のある人は、船の周りで潜っていましたが、そんな楽しみ方も良いと思います。
4歳の孫は最初は怖くて船から泳ぎに出られなかったのですが、両手をとって一緒に泳ぐと結構はしゃいでいました。孫の感想は「水面から赤と白の魚が見えたよ」でした。
船の中では外国の人たちとも一緒で、一緒にビーチバレーを楽しんだ人とは、結構仲良くなりました。
家族の良い思い出が残りました。

Totally exceed my expectation, fantastic! Good for take pictures and great for snorkel.

If you are contemplating going, don't think - just book it! Rock-a-Hula is by far one of the more entertaining shows here on Oahu. You can only watch so many luaus before getting sick of them. If you enjoy Vegas shows, this is on the same scale. Also make sure to book the VIP backstage package. It was definitely worth having the show producer show us the entire stage, meet and greet with the crew, etc. - especially if anyone in your group is interested in theater. The food was several times greater than what we ate at other shows that cost more as well, with a 4-course surf and turf. The end dessert was delic'. The entire staff was very professional and you could tell they wanted you to really enjoy their performance as they must put a lot of work making the magic happen. My mother in law thought Elvis looked more handsome than the real deal. The mannerisms of all the characters were spot on. Bravo to the dancers, especially to the fire juggler. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of Hawaii's cultural aspects into the show for that local touch.

I went to the show with my parents and my husband. It was our first time in Hawaii, so we had little clue what to do, what to see and where to go. My parents found out about the show from some Korean TV show(they came from Korea) and told me about it, so I got the VIP tickets. We stayed in Waikiki so we could Walk to the theater.
The producer showed us the behind scene such as dressing rooms and even let us walk on the stage. There was a Hawaiian Flame show(I don't know the official name). It was actually my favorite part of the whole show. I was thrilled. I wanted to take a pictures with him but only the singers were out waiting for the photo time. That was disappointing.
There were a lot of Hawaiian dances. I thought the this Hawaiian dance part is something that I wouldn't be able to see in any other cities.
And "Michael Jackson" had the same nose job as the real Michael Jackson. Haha. His moon walk was great.
The dinner was served right before the show for about an hour and the food was very delicious. I was in the VIP seat so I was served the full course dinner. The dessert, molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was heavenly.
The only downside I thought about the show was the fewer numbers of the legend singers than I would like to see. I was expecting about five singers but it was 1 hour and 20 minutes show with three singers.
I was just glad that my mom loved the show. She doesn't speak English but music doesn't require languages. It is all about the showman ship and atmosphere.
Overall it was a good show and I recommend this show to everyone!

I participated in January. There were many tour participants, so the snorkeling time was short, and my satisfaction level was low. I think my satisfaction would have been higher if there had been a bit more snorkeling time.

1月に参加しました。ツアー参加者が多かったのでシュノーケリングの時間が短く、満足度が低いです。もう少しシュノーケリングの時間があれば満足度が高くなったと思います。

The Polynesian Center provides a learning environment rich in Polynesian culture. I enjoyed riding the canoe and watching the luau.

The dance show lets you experience the Hawaiian vibe! The food is delicious too. However, there aren't many Japanese people there, so there is no support in Japanese.

ダンスショーはハワイ気分を味わえます！
料理も美味しいですよ。
ただ日本人はそこまで多くないので
日本語のフォローはないです。

Very entertaining and nice experience. The food was a little disappointing, could have been better for the price.

Great time, not to miss! Best time !! It was amazing.

Since it was close to a new moon, unfortunately, the sandbar had quite a bit of water depth, up to about my knees. I wasn't planning to snorkel, so I intended to keep my upper body dry, but the water depth at the entry point to the sandbar was about chest-high for me at 158 cm. My grandmother, who is shorter, seemed to have a bit of a hard time.

Lunch was wonderfully delicious. Also, the water in the sea was clear, and we were able to see turtles.

新月に近かったのでサンドバーは残念ながら水深がけっこうありました。膝くらいまで。私はシュノーケルするつもりがなかったので、上半身は濡れないつもりでいましたがサンドバーに入るポイントの水深は158cmの私で胸元までつかるぐらいありました。身長の低い祖母は少し大変そうでした。
昼食は素晴らしく美味しかったです。また、海の水もきれいでした。亀も見ることができました。

This time, we participated with four people, including my 8-year-old daughter, and we were more satisfied than we expected. Initially, we planned to request another company, but there were no openings, so we signed up here because there was availability. In the end, we were glad we chose this option, and my daughter was thrilled!! We are going to Hawaii again this summer, so we plan to sign up with my parents next time. We're looking forward to it!!

今回８歳の娘を入れて４名で参加しましたが、予想以上の満足でした。
初めは他社で依頼予定でしたが空きがなく、日時があったからという理由での申し込みでした。
結果こっちでよかったねと娘も大喜び！！
今年の夏もハワイへ行きますので、今度は両親も一緒に申し込みをする予定でいます。
次回も楽しみです！！

Anyway, the staff were warm. They were all bright, kind, and gentle people. The lunch was also delicious.

とにかく、スタッフさんたちがあったかい。
明るく親切で優しい方ばかりでした。
ランチも美味しかったです。

December is indeed cold. I think it's a good idea to research various factors like the season and tide to see landscapes like the one in the sandbar photo. The snorkeling after the sandbar was incredibly beautiful. I've been to many places in Southeast Asia, but the snorkeling spots here are really great. Luckily, I encountered a sea turtle swimming right below me twice. However, it can be really cold in December if the weather is bad. There were also some participants in the tour who didn't go into the water.

12月はやはり寒いです。
またサンドバーの写真のような風景を見るためには季節や、潮位など色々調べた方がいいと思います。
サンドバー後のシュノーケルは、すごくキレイでした。今まで東南アジア等たくさん行ってきましたが、ここのシュノーケルポイントはすごくいいです。
運よくウミガメも私のすぐ下を泳いでいて2回も遭遇しました。
でも12月で天気が悪いと本当に寒いです。
ツアー参加の方のなかで海に入ってない方もいました。

I highly recommend it! They provided life jackets for children and were very considerate of families with kids. Although it was only half a day, I was extremely satisfied. They also took great photos. As the trip was nearing its end and I was getting tired of the meals, playing in the sea felt refreshing, and the ham and cheese sandwich served on the boat tasted surprisingly delicious.

オススメです！
子供用のライフジャケットも用意してあり、子連れにもちゃんと配慮してくださり、半日でしたが、大満足です。写真もちゃんと撮ってくださいました。
旅行も終盤で、食事にあきていましたが、海であそんで気持ちよく、船上で出された、ハムとチーズだけのサンドイッチがかなり美味しく感じました。

You can be picked up near the hotel early in the morning and enjoy sightseeing.

You arrive at the Polynesian Cultural Center in the early afternoon and have a not-so-tasty lunch.

After that, you can enjoy various attractions on the island with the guide.

After dinner (I wasn't expecting much since lunch wasn't good, but the dinner was delicious, possibly because it was deluxe), we watched a magnificent show.

It was impressive with a large number of participants, and we had a great time.

Since the ending time is late, if you sleep on the bus ride back, you'll quickly arrive at your hotel in Honolulu.

I recommend it.

早朝ホテル近くでピックアップしていただき観光も楽しめます。
お昼過ぎにポリネシア文化センターに着きあまり美味しくないランチをいただきます。
その後担当のお兄さんと共に島内で色々なアトラクションを楽しみ
夕食後(昼食が美味しくなかったので期待してませんでしたがデラックスだったせいか夕食は美味しくいただきました)壮大なショーを見ました。
大人数で迫力があり楽しめました。
終了時間が遅いので帰りのバスの中で寝ているとあっという間にホノルルのホテルに到着します。
おすすめです。

The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to go snorkeling, plus the lunch was freshly made and delicious! However, the bus ride was extremely cold, and since we left early in the morning, I just wanted to sleep... I couldn't rest on the bus because the guide kept speaking in English, and when I dozed off during the boat ride, I was woken up. The return bus was also unusually cold (even though my body was wet), and I couldn't stand it, so I got off partway. I'm not sure if I would want to participate again...

景色はよくて、シュノーケリングもできたし、昼ごはんもできたてでおいしかったです！
ただ、移動のバスがすんごく寒かったのと、朝早くに出発なのでせめて寝てたいのに。。。バスでも英語でガイドずーっとされて眠れず、ボートで移動している間うとうとしてたら起こされ、帰りのバスも（体が濡れてるのに）異常に寒くて、たえきれなくて途中下車しました。
ちょっとまた参加したいとは思えないかも・・・

The staff were all high-energy and friendly! There were so many handsome guys, which made it worth participating just for that. (laughs) On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and it took a while to find the dolphins, but I was moved to be able to swim with them. However, since we had to jump off the boat into the open sea, it was a bit tough for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer.

スタッフの方がハイテンションで元気よく良い人ばかりでした！
イケメンばかりで、それだけでも参加した価値あり。笑
当日は海が荒れていてイルカを探すのに時間がかかったけど、無事イルカと泳げて感動しました。
でも沖に出て船から飛び込むので、泳げなに自分には少しきついツアーでした。

Awesome day. You don't need experience at all. My wife and I have never been Kayaking and we did fine. Explored outer islands no problems. Highly recommend this place. Very friendly staff.

The pickup was loose from the start. Just when I thought I should call after 10 minutes had passed, the ride finally arrived. From a distance, I heard a loud voice calling out, "Hurry up and come here," gesturing with his chin. If I had been short-tempered, there would have been a fight right there. After riding the bus for almost an hour, as soon as we arrived, the Japanese guide spoke so quickly and provided so much information that it was absolutely impossible to understand everything for the rest of the day. The only things I remembered were where and how to exchange for lunch and that our company had four showers. We were handed a special envelope for tips with instructions. The sea kayak guide confidently said, "Even if you capsize, I can right the boat and lift a person weighing 200 kg, so you'll be fine." However, as time passed, despite it being a guided tour, he said, "I'm not going today; only the customers will go." In the end, during the final briefing, the guide decided to join us. It was quite careless. Of course, we had to carry the boats ourselves to the sea. The paved road was fine, but it was quite heavy on the grass and sand. We finally arrived at the beach, and it was a struggle to float the boats and get on. The guide was nowhere to be seen; he was already at the starting point. There was quite a distance from the water's edge to the starting point. Was it our responsibility to get there? Perhaps that fast-paced explanation was for this reason?

In the end, we had to rely on the help of some Americans we didn’t know, and not the guide, to start paddling. Once we finally reached the starting point, it was just a matter of paddling. It didn’t matter whether the guide was there or not. We just had to paddle to avoid capsizing. We safely arrived at the uninhabited island and circled it. The guide explained various things here. On the way back, we paddled again. When we could see the starting point, the guide said, "Paddle over after I reach the shore." I understood that the guide was ahead because the beginning and end were difficult, so I paddled as instructed. Maybe I believed somewhere in my mind that he would help us if we capsized.

And then we capsized. Everything turned upside down, and I couldn’t tell right from left or up from down. But no help came. Right the boat? 200 kg? Those words felt empty.

My expensive shirt and hat, which I had just bought at the store right before the sea kayak tour, were swept away. I was so angry that I stayed in the water for a while until the guide finally came. All I could say was "the worst." I really wanted to say, "Everything about this tour is the worst!" Covered in sand and soaking wet, we carried the heavy boat. The guide had already gone far ahead. When we arrived at the store, I desperately looked for a shower. I couldn’t find the four showers they had boasted about. When I asked, I was pointed to a single outdoor water pipe with four faucets that were not spaced apart, none of which were even waist-high. One of them had a hose attached.

I realized that the high-quality showers often found at beach entrances were the best. The one in front of me couldn’t wash off the sand from my head or face; it could only manage to rinse off the sand from my feet. Despite this situation, the bus that had been so late in the morning was waiting. The fast-talking Japanese guide kept looking at the clock while saying, "No need to hurry," and stood right at the bus entrance. We stuffed our wet belongings in a mess and ran. There was even a 75-year-old grandfather with us... I couldn’t even confirm if we had forgotten anything. I still think that a tip is unnecessary for such a tour, but my family put in a tip above the going rate into the designated box and even handed over Japanese souvenirs, making me tear up at how naive they were.

I never thought I would feel one of the most frustrating experiences of my life in Hawaii. There was nothing about this tour that was satisfacto

　ピックアップからしてルーズ。10分過ぎて電話しなければと思ったところに迎えが来た。遠くから大きい声で呼び捨て。あごで「早くこっち来い」。私が短気だったらここで喧嘩だよ。小一時間もバスに乗り、着いた途端、説明ガイドは日本人なのにあまりの早口と大量の説明。あれで今後のすべてを理解しろというのは絶対に無理。昼食を引き換える場所と方法、私たちの会社はシャワーを4つ持っている、ということだけ記憶した。チップは専用封筒を渡され指示された。シーカヤックのガイドは「たとえ転覆しても自分は船を元に戻すことができるし、200kgの体重の人を引き上げて助けるから大丈夫」と安心感100%の言葉。しかし時間が経つと、ガイド付きツアーなのに「今日は自分は行かない」「お客さんだけ行きます」と。結局最終説明ではガイドも行くことに。かなりいい加減である。もちろん海まで自分たちが船を運ぶ。舗装道路はいいけれど、草や砂の上はかなり重たい。やっと海辺に到着し、水際に浮かべ乗り込むのに一苦労。ガイドの姿なんてどこにも見えない。とっととスタート地点にいた。水際からスタート地点までもけっこうな距離がある。スタート地点に行くまでは自己責任なのだろうか?もしかしてあの早口の説明はこのせいだったのか?
　結局全然知らないアメリカ人の手を借り、ガイドではなく彼らの力で私たちは漕ぎ出した。やっとスタート地点に着いたら、後はひたすら漕ぐだけ。ガイドなどいようといまいと関係ない。転覆しないように漕ぐだけだ。無事に無人島に着き、島を一周。ガイドはここであれこれ説明してくれた。帰りはまたひたすら漕ぐ。スタート地点が見えガイドは「私が陸に着いてから漕いで来て」と言う。最初と最後は難しいからガイドが先なのだろうと納得し、言われた通りに漕ぎ出した。どこかで「転覆しても助ける」ということばを信じていたのかもしれない。
　そして私たちは転覆した。すべてのものが逆さになり、右も左も上も下もわからない。でも助けは来ない。船を元に戻す?　体重200kg?　そんなことばが空々しい。
　シーカヤック直前にツアーのその店で買ったばかりの高いシャツも帽子も流された。あまりに頭にきてしばらく海から出なかったらやっとガイドはやってきた。「最低」のことばしか出なかった。本当は「このツアーのすべてが最低!」と言いたかった。砂だらけで水浸しのまま重い船を運ぶ。ガイドなんてずっと先を行ってしまった。店に着いたらとにかくシャワーを探した。4つあると自慢していたシャワーがわからない。仕方ないので聞いたら「そこ」と指差された。腰の高さもない外にある一本の水道管に間隔のない蛇口が4つ。その1つにホースがつながっていた。
　よくビーチの入口にある、砂を落とすためのシャワーは最高級だと知った。目の前にあるものは頭や顔の砂など落とせない。足の砂落としが精いっぱい。そんな状態なのに、朝はあんなに遅れたバスが待機している。早口日本人ガイドは「急がなくていい」と言いながら時計を何度も見てバスの乗り口にピタッといる。ベチャベチャに濡れたまま荷物をぐちゃぐちゃに突っ込み走る。75才のおじいちゃんもいるのに…。忘れ物がないのかもさえ確認できない。こんなツアー、チップなんて必要ないと今でも思っているが、家族は相場以上のチップを専用ポストに入れ、さらに日本土産まで渡し、どこまでお人良しなのかと涙が出てくる。
　人生で一、二番目に腹の立つ思いをハワイでするなんて思わなかった。
　このツアーは、どれをとっても満足できるものは何一つない。
　

I participated with a light-hearted desire to see hula dancing, but I enjoyed it even more than I had imagined! Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the powerful performance from the front row. The buffet was delicious as well. I was happy that the lei greeting used real orchids. I felt that the photos taken for commemorative purposes were a bit expensive, but overall it was a great experience!

フラダンスを見たいという軽い気持ちで参加しましたが想像してた以上に楽しめました！はやめにいったので最前列で大迫力のパフォーマンスを楽しめました。ビュッフェも美味しかったです。レイグリーティングも本物の蘭の花を使っておりうれしかったです。記念撮影した写真は少し高いなと感じましたが総じてよかったです！

WE had the perfect night. The luau was everything we dream it would be. The Chief and his staff were wonderful! Totally worth it!!

A must see experience for anyone visiting Oahu!
The Polynesian Cultural Center is an Awesome and Amazing Experience!!
Highly recommend to pay the extra for the Super Ambassador Package, We had reserved front row seats for every show and never had to wait in line, it’s well worth it.
The whole day was Fantastic! And the best part of this awesome experience was the “Breath of Life" Night Show after dinner was amazing!!
I would Love to come back...
