All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

This is my 3rd time coming here over the years, and it never disappoints it just gets better and better. I highly recommend this experience to everyone. Visiting the different islands was both informative and entertaining. Our buffet dinner was suburb with vast food choices. The show HA was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed ourself their performance was flawless. Keep up the magnificent work !!

The food and the show were amazing. Above all, the intensity of the fire dance and the power of Michael Jackson's performance left a lasting impression on me.

食事からショーまでさいこーでした。
なんといっても、ファイヤーダンスの迫力、マイケルジャクソンの迫力、全てが記憶に残りました。

17:10 Arrived at the meeting place (the meeting time was noted as 17:15)
~ Waiting while standing for about 40 minutes ~
17:50 Entered the venue
~ Waiting at the seats for about 40 minutes ~
18:30 Guided to go get the buffet
~ Waiting in line for food ~
18:45 Served the first dish on the plate
~ Picking various dishes ~
18:55 Finished getting food and took a seat. Started eating.
19:00 The performance begins
Around 20:00, fireworks go off

◆ Overall, there was a lot of waiting. I brought my elderly parents, and the waiting times really tired them out.
◆ If you're just listening to the performance and singing, I think it's sufficient to stay in the guest room.
◆ For the luau show, there were people staying at the Hilton who watched from the beach outside the venue over a low fence. Honestly, it was easier to see up close than sitting in the golden seats.
◆ As mentioned in other experiences, there are times when it rains, which can be stressful. I found myself wishing, "Please don't let it rain!" Also, the wind was quite strong.
◆ Because of the strong wind, the food got quite cold while I was getting it. Still, the meat dishes were delicious. The menu was limited, and the breakfast buffet at Japanese hotels has more variety. I don't remember everything, but there were about two small cakes for dessert and one type of something like fruit punch.
◆ The golden seats made it quite difficult to see the show. If you're aiming for the show, I think the higher-class Diamond Premier is better.

Choosing this show for my trip to Hawaii was a mistake. I should have skipped this show and opted for a restaurant or TOGO, spending more time on sightseeing in Waikiki or ocean leisure activities. I cannot recommend it to those who find waiting times unbearable or a waste.

The day before, I went on the "Dinner Cruise Star of Honolulu 3 Star," and that was very good.

17:10 集合場所到着（集合時間は17:15と記載あり）
〜立って待機 約40分〜
17:50 会場に入る
〜座席で待機 約40分〜
18:30 ブッフェ取りに行っていいよと案内される
〜料理の順番待ち〜
18:45 最初の料理を皿に盛る
〜色々料理とっていく〜
18:55 料理取り終わり着席。食事開始。
19:00 演奏が始まる
20:00ごろ 花火が上がる

◆とにかくひたすら待つことが多かったです。高齢の親を連れて行ったのですが、待ち時間でとても疲れさせてしまいました。
◆演奏や歌を聴くだけなら、客室にいても十分だと思います。
◆ルアウショーは、ヒルトン宿泊の人なら会場外のビーチから低い柵越しに鑑賞してる人もいました。正直ゴールデンシートに座ってるより近くで良く見えました。
◆他の体験談でもありましたが、雨が降る時があるので落ち着かないです。「お願いだから降らないで〜」と願うストレス、、、あと風が結構強い。
◆風が強いので、料理をとってる間に料理がかなり冷めてしまいます。それでも肉系の料理は美味しかったです。メニューは少なく、日本のホテルの朝食ブッフェの方が種類があります。全部は覚えてないけど、デザートは小さいケーキ？2種とフルーツポンチ？みたいなもの1種くらいでした。
◆ゴールデンシートはショーがかなり見えづらかったです。ショー目当てなら上位クラスのダイヤモンドプレミアがいいと思います。

今回のハワイ旅行で、このショーを選んだことは失敗でした。このショーに行かず、レストランかTOGOにして、もっとワイキキ観光や海レジャーに時間を使った方が良かったです。待ち時間が耐えられない・もったいないと思う人にはとてもお勧めできません。

前日に「ディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル 3スター」も行きましたがこれはとても良かった。

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also concerts featuring musicians from past generations, which was very enjoyable. Additionally, the fire dance was incredibly impressive! It's definitely worth going!

フラダンスだけでなく歴代のミュージシャンのコンサートも付いていてとても楽しめました。更にはファイヤーダンスも迫力満点！行く価値あります！

Our server, Danny brought great energy and had exceptional hospitality service. Good experience and perfect to enjoy with family.

It was my first cruise, and I had a great time. The only regret was that a hurricane was approaching, so I couldn't see the sunset. Also, the lobster was not as impressive as I expected (laughs). Overall, I think it was good.

初めてのクルーズでしたがとても楽しかったです。
残念だったのがハリケーンが近づいててサンセットが見られなかったのが心残りでした。
それとロブスターがおもってたよりショボかったですね(笑)
まぁ、総合的には良かったと思います。

After a comfortable 30-minute ride, I was able to take a short nap since I was tired from walking all day. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a gift from the hula girls. While waiting for dinner, we enjoyed cultural activities such as applying tattoo stickers, making leaf bracelets, and weaving fish with leaves, while a Japanese staff member took photos and explained the location. We relaxed with drinks until dinner. The food was delicious, and although the portions were a bit large for women, I felt very satisfied! The show featured several songs performed live by dancers, and we were able to see an impressive fire show at the end, creating a very charming and homely atmosphere. The speed at which the food was served and the flow of the show were very pleasant. It seemed like a comfortable place for families with children or group reservations!

快適な車で約30分ほど揺られて、一日中歩いて疲れていたので少し仮眠を取ることができました。着くとフラガールからシェルレイのプレゼントでお出迎え。ディナーまでの間タトゥーシールやリーフのブレスレット、リーフで魚を編んだりとカルチャーアクティビティをしながら、日本人のスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、場所の説明をしてくれたりと、ドリンクを飲みながらディナーまでの間をのんびりと過ごしました。食事はどれも美味しく、女性には少し量が多かったですが、とても満足度が高いなと思いました！！ショーも素敵な生歌と共にダンサーが数曲踊り、最後には大迫力なファイアーショーを見ることができて、アットホームな雰囲気でのショーがすごく魅力的でした。料理の出てくるスピードや、ショーの流れもすごく心地よかったです。子供連れや団体での予約でも居心地良く過ごせそうな感じでした！！

It starts with a buffet. You can enjoy hula shows, ukulele performances, and hula lessons while you eat. The food was very delicious. A Mai Tai is included as well. After that, we moved to the theater. Although the seats were ordinary, we were seated about three rows from the front, in the middle, so we had a great view. I wasn't expecting much, but we got to see a wonderful show. I thought the Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators would just be look-alikes, but their singing and dancing were so amazing that I could mistake them for the real deal. I'm really glad I participated in this show. On the way back, I was able to take photos with the cast, and I was very satisfied.

最初にビュッフェから始まります。フラのショーやウクレレの弾き語り、フラレッスンなど、食べている間も楽しめます。お料理はとてもおいしかったです。マイタイ一杯もついています。その後シアターに移動します。普通の席でしたが、前から3番目の真ん中あたりに座れて、とてもよく見えました。そんなに期待していなかったのですが、素晴らしいショーが見られました。マイケルジャクソン、プレスリーは「そっくりさんでしょ」と始まる前は思っていましたが、歌やダンスも本物かと間違うほどに素晴らしく、本当にこちらのショーに参加して良かったです。帰りにはキャストの方々と写真も撮れて、大満足でした。

Kualoa Ranch is vast, and you can go horseback riding and tour the filming locations by bus, along with many other tour participants. For those who don't understand English at all, it seemed like they just let the bus driver's explanations go in one ear and out the other. Everything was explained in English. There were also many participants who were not Japanese.

The scenery was very beautiful. The buffet had very few food options, and there were flies, so my nervous child couldn't eat much.

It's best to think of it as completely different from something like Universal Studios.

クアロアランチは広大で、乗馬できロケ地をバスで回ったりたくさんのツアーの方と現地でもバスで回ります。英語がさっぱり分からない方には
バス運転手の説明も聞き流す感じの様でした。
全て英語説明でした。
日本人以外の参加者も多数おられました。

景色は非常によかったです。
ビュッフェは食べるものがすくなくハエがたかって
神経質なうちの子はあまり食べられませんでした。

ユニバーサルスタジオの様な感じでは全く違うと
思われた方が良いです。

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

The probability of sandbars appearing due to rising sea levels and typhoon effects was very low. The water level was up to our waists.
Some people were able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling, which was a lot of fun.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent.

海水位上昇と台風の影響でサンドバーが出る確率とても低いとの事でした。私たちは腰ぐらいまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルは海亀と泳げた人もいてとても楽しかったです。
お昼のハンバーガーは最高でした。

We used this service to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We had a bow renewal with a friendly captain in a corner of the boat. He took photos with my own phone. It was a bit embarrassing, but it became a wonderful memory. We enjoyed a bottle of champagne together. Since it was Friday, we also got to see fireworks, which was great. Additionally, we had our photo taken at our seats, and we received it as a gift at the end. We will definitely use this service again.

結婚20周年で利用させて頂きました。
船のすみっこで気さくな船長と一緒に
バウリニューアルをしました。
自分の手持ちの携帯で撮影してくれました。
少し恥ずかしいですがとても記念になりました。
シャンパン一本を頂き二人で楽しく飲ませて頂きました。
金曜日だったので花火も見れてとても良かったです。
あと席で二人の写真をとって頂きましたが最後にプレゼントとして頂きました。
また利用させて頂きます。

It's reassuring that there's an explanation in Japanese.
The view from the sandbar, which is inaccessible to individuals, is amazing.
It's a mysterious place that feels like being in the ocean but on land (coral).
The barbecue hamburgers were delicious.
We were lucky to encounter manta rays and turtles.
While snorkeling around the coral, we enjoyed schools of fish and a real aquarium experience!

日本語で説明があるから安心です。
個人では行けないサンドバーからの景色が最高です。
海の中にいるのに陸（珊瑚）のような・・不思議な場所です。
バーベキューのハンバーガーが美味しかったです。
運良くマンタとカメにも遭遇できました。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングでは魚の群れとリアル水族館が楽しめました！

It was the best luau show I've ever seen.

The regular luau show part was good, but the Elvis and Michael sections were truly moving.

今まで見たルアウショーの中で1番でした。

通常のルアウショー部分も良かったですが
エルビスとマイケル部分は感動モノでした。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the beautiful ocean, and I had a great time. We boarded a medium-sized boat that could hold about 50 people and set off for the sandbar, which took about 30 minutes. Along the way, we were able to see sea turtles and rays, but not as many as I had hoped. I wonder if it was due to the season?

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we were quickly provided with snorkeling gear and enjoyed swimming while looking into the water from the boat, where there was a lookout. Below us were mostly coral reefs, and we could see various colorful fish swimming among them. We spent over an hour in the water, and when we returned to the boat, we were able to eat a hamburger made with grilled meat from a barbecue. I was so hungry that I wanted to eat another one. Drinks were unlimited.

We rented a car to visit Hanauma as a family instead of going on a tour, but since the sandbar was part of a tour, we had pick-up and drop-off from the hotel, and lunch was included. The guide kindly explained everything, so we were able to enjoy it quite a bit.

Since it was a family trip with six people, my grandchildren, who are in middle and high school, were much happier than us older folks. Thank you very much!

ハワイに来たからには綺麗な海を満喫したかったのですが、
とても楽しめました。50人乗りぐらいの中型船に乗って
サンドバーまで３０分ぐらいかけて船出しました。
途中ウミガメやエイを見ることが出来ましたが期待したほどは
見られませんでした。時期的な問題だったのかしら？
サンドバーに着くとすぐにシュノーケリングを貸してもらい
船の上でしっかり見張りがいるところで海中を覗きながら
遊泳をしました。下は殆どがサンゴ礁でその間を色んな色をした
魚が泳いでいるところを見ることが出来ました。
一時間以上海の中にいて、船に戻りますとバーベキューで肉を焼いた
ハンバーガーを各自一個ずつ食べることが出来ました。
お腹が空いたのでもう一個ぐらい食べたかったです。
飲み物は飲み放題でした。
ハナウマには家族でレンタカーを借りてツアーでなく行きましたが、
サンドバーはツアーでしたのでホテルからの送り迎えもあり、
昼食もついて案内人にも親切に説明してもらいましたので
それなりに楽しむことが出来ました。
６人の家族旅行でしたので中高生の孫たちは我々年寄りより
数倍大喜びでした。有難うございました！

Wes is the best! Very informative! We learned a lot!

While waiting at the meeting point, a black Benz arrived about 5 minutes late to pick me up. I was a bit anxious since there was no specific guidance from the driver, but when I showed the reservation screen, they instructed me to get in the car, and we safely arrived at the venue. (I wish the driver had been a bit friendlier… haha.)

Once we arrived at the venue, we had about 30 minutes to spare before it started, so we spent the time playing with tattoo stickers and Hawaiian games. The hula show and dinner began at 6 PM, and I enjoyed delicious food and drinks while watching the beautiful hula and fire shows. The venue was quiet with nothing around, giving it a private feel.

I felt it was a good decision to book this, as it had a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the hula shows at shopping centers or in the heart of Waikiki, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.

集合場所で待っていると、5分遅れくらいで、黒のベンツで迎えに来てくれました。運転手から特に案内がなく、この車で合っているか不安でしたが、予約画面見せたら車乗るよう指示してくれて、無事会場に着きました。(もう少し愛想ある方だったらよかったなぁと…笑)
会場着いてからは、始まるまで30分くらい時間があり、タトゥーシールやハワイのゲームなどして過ごしました。18時からフラショーとディナーが始まり、素敵なフラやファイヤーショーを見ながら、美味しいご飯とお酒を楽しみました。会場は、周りに何もなく静かで、貸切感がありました。
ショッピングセンターやワイキキ中心部でやっているフラショーより、落ち着きがある雰囲気でゆっくり楽しめたので、こちらを予約してよかったと思いました。

The hamburger was delicious.

It was very enjoyable to see turtles at the sandbar and snorkel in the beautiful sea.

ハンバーガーが美味しかったです。

サンドバーもカメが見れたり、きれいな海でのシュノーケリングは、とても楽しかったです

This day will definitely remain in the memory of my children and me for the rest of my life. The trip was wonderful thanks to the activities that were prepared by the ship's crew and of course the unusually beautiful nature around. Huge praise also goes to the crew, who were willing to answer all our questions and very helpful with the activities. Personally, I would like to thank Tyson, who was extremely helpful. If anyone is hesitating whether to try this trip on their vacation, I strongly recommend that don't hesitate for a second, because I guarantee that you won't regret it. Once again, a huge thank you and I wish the whole crew all the best.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I had a good time overall on the second tour, but the explanations were all in English. For those who understand, the jokes make sense, but for those who don't speak English, it's completely meaningless and boring. I wish they would at least provide a translation device.

2回目のツアーで全体的には楽しかったが、すべて英語の説明でわかる人には冗談が通じるが、英語が分からないと全く意味不明でつまらない。せめて翻訳機くらい用意してほしい。

Mommy daughter trip was the best. This trip is perfect for kids. Plenty of excitement and they move at their own pace. She loved swimming at the Sandbar and watching the sea turtles. We took photos and slashed around. The best was the snorkeling. It was easy for her to learn with practice at the Sandbar. The hot chocolate and Funyuns chips were delicious. Highly recommend for kids of all ages.

I had a wonderful dinner at Michel's before, so I tried to make a reservation again this time, but it was fully booked. While looking for options for our last dinner in Waikiki, I found this tour. I’m excited to hear that it’s a place used for wedding receptions. The meeting point was easy to find, so we didn’t have to go around to different hotels, making for a smooth transfer. Everyone was dressed up a bit in aloha shirts and dresses.

From the car window, we enjoyed views from the city to the highway and residential areas. While waiting for our meal to be served, which took about an hour, we strolled through the garden, made ti leaf bracelets, got traditional design tattoo stickers, and played some simple games... It was great to spend time leisurely. Since it was a private garden, we felt safe with no one else around except for the tour participants.

It was nice that we received two drink tickets. We could order drinks as soon as we arrived, and having a beer while looking at the garden and water in the evening was the best! There were several options for beer, wine, and other drinks. The meal prepared by the chef from Michel's was delicious, and I reminisced with my husband about our previous experience at Michel's, saying, "Yes, this Caesar salad! This steak sauce!" Both the shrimp and meat were satisfying, giving a more elevated impression compared to the typical barbecue or local cuisine often found on tours. As expected from Watabe Wedding.

Throughout the meal, there was live music, and we enjoyed watching various hula dances while taking in the scenery transitioning from evening to night. With only 14 participants, this hospitality felt luxurious. The show ended with an impressive fire dance and a short hula lesson, filling both our stomachs and hearts. I was a bit anxious because Japanese people don’t seem to know how to cheer during shows, and I thought it would be easier for the performers if there were more clapping and applause, but after all, there were only 14 of us (laughs).

The guide and the staff who served our meals spoke Japanese, which was great. The guide even took individual photos and explained the place, and I was happy they were able to assist despite being busy. I’m considering joining again next time with my elderly parents. Thank you very much!

以前ミッシェルズでの夕食がとても美味しかったので、今回も予約しようとしましたが満席。
ワイキキ最後の夕食をどうしようか探していた際にこちらのツアーを見つけました。
結婚式のレセプションでも使われる場所とのことで期待が膨らみます。
集合場所はわかりやすく一か所だったので、あちこちホテルを回らず、スムーズな移動。
皆さん、アロハシャツやドレスでちょっとおしゃれされてました。
車窓は街中からハイウェイ〜住宅地まで見られて楽しめました。
お食事が出てくるまで１時間ほど、お庭を散策したり、ティリーフで腕輪を作ったり、伝統的デザインのタトゥーシールを貼ってもらったり、簡単なゲームもありました。。。のんびり過ごせたのはとても良かった。
プライベートガーデンなので、ツアー参加者以外にいなくて安心。
ドリンクチケットが２枚付いているのも良心的。
現地に到着早々にドリンクが注文できて、夕方のお庭や水辺を見ながらのビールは最高！ビールやワイン、ドリンクは数種類ありました。
ミッシェルズにいたシェフが作るお食事は、とても美味しく、「そうそう、このシーザーサラダ！このステーキソース！」と以前のミッシェルズでの思い出を夫と話しながらいただきました。
エビもお肉も満足なもので、ツアーにありがちなバーベキューや現地料理的なものから一段上な印象です。
さすがワタベウェディング(^^)
お食事の間ずっと生演奏が流れていて、次々雰囲気の違うフラダンスを見せていただきながら、夕方から夜になっていく景色をゆったり楽しむ。参加者14人でこのおもてなし。。。贅沢だなー(^_^;)
ショーの最後は迫力のファイヤーダンスとフラのショートレッスンもついていて、お腹も心も満たされました。
日本人はショーの盛り上げ方が分からなくて、本当はもっと手拍子や拍手があったほうが演者さんが演りやすいんじゃないかなーとハラハラしたりしましたが、何しろ14人ですからね(笑)
案内の方始め、お食事のサーブをしてくれたスタッフさんは日本語が通じるので、その点も良かった。特に案内の方は個別に写真を取ってくれたり、場所の説明をしてくれたりとお忙しいのに対応してもらえて嬉しかったです。
次回は高齢の両親と参加してもいいかもと思っています
ありがとうございました(^^)

The horses are very cute, but...

They just walk in a straight line quietly for a long time (there are explanations from the staff and opportunities to talk with them, but you can't converse with your companions), so I got bored after about the first 30 minutes...

I wish we could walk side by side with our companions and chat instead of in a line.

Thinking about it, it might not be worth the price.

I wonder if it's something I really need to do in Hawaii...

Next time I experience this, I would prefer a private course.

馬はとってもかわいいのですが・・・

ずーっとひたすら一列で黙々と歩くので
（スタッフの方の説明があったり、スタッフの方と話すことはありますが、
同行者と話すことはできません）、
最初の３０分くらいで飽きてしまいました・・・。

一列ではなく、同行者と並んで、おしゃべりしながら歩けたらいいなと思います。

そう考えるとお値段に釣り合わないかもです。

わざわざハワイに行ってやらなくてもいいかなと・・・。

今度体験するなら、プライベートコースにしたいと思います。

You can enjoy a summary of must-visit places and gourmet experiences on Oahu. The guide was excellent, providing not only information about tourist spots but also interesting stories about the places we passed by, so even in one day, you can gain a solid understanding of Oahu. They introduced us to some of the best places on the island for garlic shrimp and malasadas. We were able to buy fresh local fruits, and the pineapples were particularly sweet, ripening more than those in Japan. We could choose between flavored and unflavored macadamia nuts and decided after sampling them. This was perfect for first-time sightseeing in Oahu.

オアフ島の「ここは行った方がいい」と言う場所とグルメをまとめて堪能できます。
ガイドさんがとても良く、観光地だけでなく、通過していく所のエピソード等も教えていただけますので、１日ですが、ほぼオアフ島についての基礎知識を得ることができます。
ガーリックシュリンプやマラサダは島内でもかなり美味しい店を紹介していただけます。
島で採れたフルーツを鮮度良く買えました。中でもパイナップルは日本より熟していたので、とても甘いでした。マカデミアナッツは味のあるなしが選べて、試食して決められました。
初めてのオアフ島観光にはもってこいでした。

It was a good experience with my kids and families . We enjoy the performance and dances . The food is great we enjoy it too.

ALOHA!
I was able to visit the long-awaited Manoa Falls for my 60th birthday.
I was impressed by the various plants and untouched nature, and above all, I had a wonderful time thanks to Susumu's delightful talk!
MAHALO!
I definitely want to repeat this experience.
A hui hou!

ALOHA！
還暦を迎えて念願のマノア滝を訪れることができました。
様々な植物と手つかずの自然に感激、そして何と言ってもススムさんの愉快なトークで楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました！
MAHALO！
是非またリピートしたいと思います。
ア・フイ・ホウ！

The sunset, night view, and Friday fireworks were all very beautiful. The food was delicious, but I felt it was a bit lacking in quantity. The five-star seats were quite cold, so a jacket is a must. It was so cold that I often went outside to warm up. (laugh)

サンセット、夜景、金曜日の花火どれもとても綺麗でした。料理は美味しかったのですが少し量が足りなくて物足りない感じです。5スターの席はかなり寒いので上着は必須です。寒すぎて船外にちょくちょく暖をとりに行ってました。笑

This cruise was not very good. The food was cold and the meat was mostly fat and if I could guess, it was about a 2 ounce cut of fat. The show was 2 people, doing a song. Not what I would think a show of the culture would be.

I would recommend the sand bar trip to everyone coming to the island, from the minute you step onto the boat,the lovely food,fantastic crew,information and spotting the turtles and rays in the ocean.
My mum as mobility issues and the crew were always on hand to ask and offer help and assistance, Sasha and eggy ( William) I think went up and beyond, especially with photos and handing out snorkels etc.
Both mum and myself said it was the best trip of our holidays.
Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing.

We received amazing service my wife and I! We celebrated our 1 month anniversary being married and Armando took outstanding care of us and we had such an amazing time. At the very end of the night we were pleasantly surprised with the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day, we were invited to dance up front and the servers were so enthusiastic and fun the entire time. 11/10 would recommend to a friend and we will be returning next special occasion!!
