All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Since we are visiting various places, the time spent at each location is relatively short, so it may not be suitable for those who want to enjoy things thoroughly. Personally, I was satisfied with the content. In particular, our guide, Daisuke, was friendly and explained things clearly in both English and Japanese. It seems there are various tours available, and I was interested in other tours as well. I think it's a tour I could recommend if someone asks me. I was a bit confused about the tipping, which is not common for Japanese people, but it would be appreciated if it could be included in the price. With that in mind, I can understand putting even one or two dollars into the tip box with a good feeling. Given the current weak yen, when they say 20% of the tour price for tips, it feels very expensive.

色々なところを回る分、一ヶ所の滞在時間が短めなので、じっくり楽しみたい人には向きません。
私的には満足の内容でした。特にガイドのだいすけさんは気さくで、英語と日本語で交互に説明してもらって分かりやすかったです。
色々ツアーがあるようで他のツアーにも興味がありました。
知り合いに聞かれたらおすすめできるツアーだと思います。日本人には馴染みのないチップには戸惑いましたが、できれば代金に含めてもらえるとありがたいです。その上で、１ドルでも２ドルでも気持ち良くチップボックスに気持ちを入れるのが納得できます。円安のおりなので、ツアー代金の20%とか言われるととても高く感じてしまいます。

I had always wanted to try horseback riding, but since the youngest was 7 and the oldest was 69, it was hard to find a place where everyone could ride together. Just when I was about to give up, I found this place!

I signed up for a one-hour course that started at 8:45 AM. We left Waikiki just after 7 AM, stopped at Leonard's to buy and eat malasadas on the way, and arrived at the location just in time for the meeting. We parked in the spacious parking lot and received instructions from the staff at the reception, then signed the waiver.

Wearing helmets was optional for adults, but of course, everyone wore one! We only put our phones and car keys in the provided leather bags. After using the restroom and playing with the goats and sheep in the area, it was suddenly time to start.

Each person was helped onto a horse, and we received a brief explanation on how to ride: pull the reins to stop, turn the reins in the direction you want to go, and give a light kick to the belly if the horse stops moving. Even the 7-year-old was able to ride alone and we set off right away! At first, I was nervous, but the horses were all calm and smart, which made me feel at ease.

There were hills to climb and we weaved through a herd of cows, making it feel like an attraction, which was enjoyable. We could take pictures anytime, but since we had to hold the reins, it was a bit tricky to operate the phone with one hand while turning around to take a shot. It might be difficult for those who aren't used to handling their phone with one hand. The ranch staff took quite a few pictures for us, but they were $8 each, so we decided not to purchase any.

Since we had a child with us, we moved at a relatively slow pace, but I would have liked to ride faster if it were just adults. Also, the 7-year-old was placed at the back, so everyone had to be mindful of the pace, and it would have been best if the adults were at the back instead.

We chose the one-hour course, but it actually lasted over an hour, which was more than enough. By the end, my hips and thighs were shaking! All the staff were women, and the restrooms and animal areas were kept relatively clean, which was quite impressive (though there was a lot of dust). The kids said that horseback riding was the most fun part! I highly recommend it!

ずっとやりたかった乗馬でしたが、下は7歳、上は69歳だったのでなかなか全員で乗馬できるところがなく、諦めかけていたところこちらを見つけました❗️

午前8時45分集合の1時間コースを申し込み。
ワイキキを7時過ぎに出発し、途中レナーズでマラサダを購入し食べならがレンタカーにて現地へ。集合時間ギリギリに到着
広々とした駐車場に適当に駐車して、受付でお姉さんからの説明を受け、免責の書類にサイン。
成人はヘルメット着用が自由でしたが、もちろん全員着用❗️笑
荷物は備え付けの皮の袋へ携帯と車の鍵だけ入れて。
トイレを済ませたり、園内にあるヤギや羊たちと戯れているとあっという間に開始時間に。

1人ずつ馬に乗せていただき、手綱を手前へ引いたらストップ、手綱を曲がりたい方向へ向けたら曲がる、動かなくなったら足で軽くお腹を蹴るなど、軽く乗り方の説明を受けただけて、7歳の子供も1人で乗って早速出発❗️
最初は緊張しましたが、大人しく頭のいい馬ばかりだったので、乗っているこちらも安心できました。
坂道があったり牛の群れの間をすり抜けたり、アトラクション的な感じもあって楽しめます。
写真もいつでも自分たちで撮れます。
が、手綱は持ったままになりますので、片手で携帯を操作し、さらに後ろに振り向いてシャッターを押さないといけませんので、片手で携帯の操作をし慣れてる人じゃないと難しいかなと。
牧場の方もかなり撮ってくれますが、1枚8ドルだったので、購入はせず…
また、子供がいたのでかなりゆっくりのスピードで進んでくれましたが、大人ばかりならもっと早いスピードでも乗ってみたかったかな〜。
それと、7歳の子供が一番後ろに配置されたので、みんなが後ろを気をしながら進まないといけなく、できたら大人を最後にしてもらえたらベストではありました。

今回1時間のコースにしましたが、実質1時間以上あり十分でした。
最後になると股関節も太もももワナワナしてきて笑
スタッフは全員女性で、トイレや動物のいる所も比較的綺麗に保たれており、かなり好感持てました。(砂埃は凄かったですが)
子供達も、乗馬が一番楽しかったと言っていました‼️
めちゃくちゃオススメです‼️

The food and live performance were absolutely amazing and created a great atmosphere! The buffet style and the variety of dishes (including desserts) made it a perfect choice to go there hungry. Additionally, there was a wide selection of alcohol and drinks! It was fun to have live music close to our seats and to interact with the staff.

We were able to enjoy the band performance up close, which was very exciting. The dance and songs, including those by Michael Jackson, really got everyone pumped up. I'm glad we could spend our last night in Hawaii having such a great time.

料理もライブもとにかく最高でとても盛り上がりました！バイキング形式なのと結構たくさん料理があるので(デザートも)おなかをすかせて行って大正解でした。また、アルコールやドリンクメニューも豊富でした！席の近くで生演奏をしてくれたり、スタッフさんが話しかけてくれたり、で楽しかったです。
バンド演奏も近くで聴くことができてとても盛り上がりました。
マイケルジャクソンなど、ダンスも歌もとっても盛り上がりました。
ハワイ最後の夜だったので楽しく過ごすことができてよかったです。

Well organized, lots of things to do on the island or you can choose to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach and water.
We enjoyed the sand bar adventure, did some kayaking, played volleyball and ping pong.
Bathrooms are a great touch on this serene setting, they are clean and have AC.
The boat ride and back had wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. Everything was pristine and amazing. The staff were friendly. Highly recommend.

I thought the hike to Manoa Falls would be easy, but the way there was all uphill, and it was quite muddy. There are several breaks along the way, but I was too focused on watching my feet to enjoy the scenery. The humidity was also quite high.

That said, seeing the waterfall was rewarding. It was truly beautiful. White shoes and light-colored pants are not a good idea.

Lunch at Tantalus Lookout was enjoyable.

マノアの滝までのハイキングと軽く考えていましたが行きはずっと上り坂。それも結構なぬかるみ道。途中何度か休憩がありますが移動中は足もとばかり見ていて景色を楽しむ余裕はなかったです。湿気もかなりあります。
とはいえ滝を見ると達成感はあります。ほんとうにキレイでした。白い靴と色の薄いズボンはNGです。
タンタラスの丘のランチは楽しかったです。

I was able to see sea turtles and mantas multiple times from the boat. The way the manta slightly raised its wings looked like a greeting and was adorable.

Then it was snorkeling time. My son swam ahead first, and he encountered a relaxed sea turtle, allowing them to swim together for a while. By the time I was called over to see, it had already gone into its hole.

The hamburger was delicious! After snorkeling, it gets cold when the wind hits your wet body, so it's better to have a towel or a jacket (I had a UNIQLO rash guard). They also provided warm drinks (cocoa was popular with the kids).

I got sunburned on my shoulders and calves, which turned "bright red later." Areas that are not usually exposed are prone to sunburn even with sunscreen, so be careful.

船からウミガメやマンタを何度も見ることができました。マンタが両ヒレをちょこっと上げる仕草が挨拶に見えて可愛かった。
そしてシュノーケルタイム。息子が真っ先に泳いで行ったからか、のんびりしていたウミガメに出会いしばらく並泳できたとのこと。私が呼ばれて見に行ったときは穴へ入ってしまったあとでした。

ハンバーガー美味しかったです！
シュノーケル後は濡れた体に風を受けると寒くなるので、タオルや上着（私はUNIQLOのラッシュガード）はあった方が良い。温かい飲み物の提供もありました。（ココアは子どもたちに人気）

日焼けで肩の後ろとふくらはぎが「後から真っ赤」になりました。普段出し慣れていない部位は日焼け止めを塗ってもやられやすいので注意。

From the moment I entered, the staff kept calling us "Ohana" (which means family in Hawaiian), and they welcomed us as if we were their real family, even giving us flower leis.

The buffet had a wide variety of options, and both the food and drinks were delicious.

I experienced the main show in the grand theater, and even though I'm not very familiar with the history and music of America and Hawaii, I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning performance.

The venue's location is also very convenient, right in the heart of Waikiki. If you visit Hawaii, definitely participate and see the emotional impact for yourself ❤️

入場してからスタッフの皆さんが「オハナ」(ハワイ語の家族という意味)とずっと呼んでくれてて、本当の家族をもてなすような感じで歓迎してくれて、お花ののレイもつけてくれました。

ビュッフェの種類も豊富で、食事と飲み物どれも美味しかったです。

本番のショーを大劇場で体験し、
アメリカとハワイの歴史と音楽には詳しくない私でも、圧巻のパフォーマンスをすごく楽しめました。

会場の立ち位置もワイキキの中心部なので、すごく便利でした。
ハワイに訪れた際ぜひ参加してみて、自分の目でその感動さを確かめてみてください❤️

The Royal Hawaiian Center is on the 4th floor, so the access was excellent and very helpful.

The buffet offerings are the same for both VIP and original options, with not too many varieties, and the taste is just pleasantly good.

The show was very enjoyable, especially since I had a great seat in the center, three rows from the front! They entertained us with a variety of genres, from traditional Hawaiian hula and fire dancing to Michael Jackson. My parents, who are in their 60s, particularly loved it!

I rated the food a 3 and the show a 4.5, giving an overall rating of 4.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I think I will opt for a plan that includes just the show.

I think having a night like this would be fun at least once! The staff was kind, and their desire to entertain us really came through. I can recommend it!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階なので、
アクセス抜群で助かりました。

ビュッフェの内容は、VIPとオリジナルで変わりません、種類はそこまで多くなく、お味は普通に美味しいなという感じです。

ショーは前から3列目のセンターという、とてもいい席だったということもあり、非常に楽しめました！
フラやファイヤーダンスといったザ・ハワイから、マイケルジャクソンまで、色々なジャンルで楽しませてくれます。
特に60代の両親は大盛り上がりでした！

食事3.ショー4.5で、トータル4の評価にしました。

次ハワイに行ったら、ショーだけのプランで行くと思います。

1日くらいはこういう夜があったら、楽しいかなと！スタッフさんも優しいし、楽しませようという気持ちが伝わりました。おすすめできます！

I thought everything, from the meals to the crew's service, was perfect!

If you ride on Friday, you can also see fireworks, which is a great deal!

It is a bit pricey, but it's worth experiencing!

食事も船員さんの対応も全てにおいてパーフェクトかなと思いました！

金曜日に乗ると花火も見れてお得です！

値段はしますけど、乗ってみる価値はありますよ！

Really awesome morning- gorgeous waters and lots and lots of sea life!

The brother Iz tribute brought tears to our eyes, fabulous night!

Good for all ages, our family was laughing and it was a good way to get everyone together :)

Staying at Hilton and having the luau on property made it easy with kiddos!

The crew makes sure things run smooth, and the boat is a nice smooth sail as well!

Much to learn about all of Polynesian in 1 day! Would go again

There is a venue on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and I was able to find it without any trouble. As soon as I arrived and completed the check-in, I was able to participate in the lei ceremony right away. Since my spouse and I wore aloha shirts, we were able to take beautiful commemorative photos with the lei draped around our necks, which was great.

Because we had reserved VIP seats, we were also guided to the buffet with priority. The freshly made roast beef and whole roasted pig were juicy, tender, and very delicious! We also received two complimentary drinks, so we had more than enough to enjoy without needing to order additional ones.

After the meal, we moved to the theater room, which was about a 3-minute walk away, to watch the Hawaiian show. The authentic hula dance was breathtaking. Additionally, we were able to see sharp dance moves and a tribute to Michael Jackson up close, making it a very meaningful time.

Being able to enjoy both the meal and such a show, I think it was overall a highly cost-effective entertainment experience. I recommend participating at least once if you come to Hawaii!
*I participated using a limited-time monitor offer for a second person free.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に会場があり、迷わず行くことが出来ました。
到着して早々、受付を済ませるとそのままレイセレモニーをしてもらいました。
夫婦でアロハシャツを着用して行ったので、レイを首から下げて素敵な記念写真も撮ることが出来て良かったです。
VIP席で予約をしていたため、ビュッフェも優先的に案内してもらうことが出来ました。
出来立てのローストビーフや豚の丸焼きはジューシーで柔らかく、とても美味しかったです！
ドリンクも2杯まで付いてくるので、追加で注文しなくても十分楽しめました。
食後は徒歩3分ほどのシアタールームに移動して、ハワイアンショーを拝見しました。
本場のフラダンスは圧巻でした。
また、キレキレのダンスやマイケルジャクソンのオマージュも間近で見られて、とても有意義な時間でした。
食事とこれだけのショーを楽しむことが出来て、総じてとてもコストパフォーマンスが高いエンターテイメントだと思います。
ハワイに来たら一度は参加をお勧めします！
※【2人目無料】人数限定モニターを利用して参加しました。

The entertainment was superb!!! The food, however, was cold, undercooked, and no flavor. I do understand the institutional food prep, but it could have been better.

First, we started with a welcome drink. We toasted with a drink full of Hawaiian flavor, and since it was the first night of our trip, I was really excited. After that, we enjoyed a buffet meal. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and each one was delicious, which made me very satisfied. In particular, the whole roasted pig was impressive and tasty. During the meal, hula dancers performed in the middle of the tables, adding to the atmosphere. There was even a mini hula lesson. If you wanted to eat, it was perfectly fine to do so. Afterward, we had a dessert buffet and moved to the show venue. The show lasted over an hour, and I was very satisfied. At the end, we could take photos with the performers. Overall, it was a highly satisfying dinner show.

As a piece of advice for those experiencing this, you receive two drink tickets (separate from the complimentary welcome drink), which can be used at either the dining venue or the show venue. When we tried to order, we were told that the ordering time at the dining venue had passed, so we had to use them at the show venue. The dining venue has a wider drink menu and serves drinks in proper glasses, which enhances the experience. At the show venue, you can drink while watching the show, but the drinks come in takeout containers and the menu is limited. Please be aware that the drink order cutoff time at the dining venue is quite early.

まず初めにウェルカムドリンクからはじまりました。ハワイ感たっぷりのドリンクで乾杯し、旅の初日の夜だったのでとてもワクワクしました。その後、ブッフェで料理をいただきました。ハワイの料理もたくさんあり、どれも一つ一つおいしくてとても満足でした。特に、豚の丸焼きはインパクトもすごく、おいしかったです。料理の中盤からフラダンスの人たちがテーブルの真ん中でダンスしてくださったりして盛り上げてくれました。フラダンスのミニレッスンがあったりもします。食事したい方は食事してても大丈夫でした。その後デザートブッフェをいただき、ショーの会場に移動。ショーはたっぷり1時間以上みれてとても満足でした。最後に出演者の方と写真も撮れます。全体的にとても満足度の高いディナーショーです。体験される方にアドバイスがあるとすると、ドリンクチケットが2枚（無料の乾杯ドリンクとは別）にいただけるのですが、食事の会場とショーの会場どちらでも利用できます。私たちはオーダーしようとした時には食事会場のオーダー時間が過ぎていたため、ショーの会場で使用してくださいと言われました。食事会場の方がドリンクメニューが多いのときちんとしたグラスにいれてくれるので気分が上がると思います。ショーの会場ではショーを観ながら飲めるのですがテイクアウトの入れ物になるのとメニューが少ないです。食事会場のドリンクのオーダーストップは結構早めなのでそこだけ気をつけてください。

After the end of COVID, it's been a while since I've been to Hawaii! This was my first time enjoying live music while having a meal, and I was very satisfied with the Hawaiian music that resonated in my heart, the people who jumped in to dance hula, and the delicious food. I plan to sign up again next time.

コロナあけ久しぶりのハワイ！食事をしながらのライブ鑑賞は初めてて、心に馴染むハワイアンミュージック、飛び入りでフラを踊る人達と美味しい食事でとても満足しました。また次回申し込む予定です

In the morning, we went on a Kaneohe Bay cruise, and surprisingly, the waves were quite high, causing some people to get soaked inside the boat. The guide was amazing!!! The lunch buffet featured tender and delicious pork and chicken. The calamansi and pineapple juice were also good. In the afternoon, we took a lot of photos at Jurassic Village, and it was a very satisfying day (✿^‿^).

午前は、カネオヘ湾クルーズ、思いのほか波が高く、船内に波がザバ〜ン・・びしょ濡れになった方も。ガイドさん最高！！！
ランチビュッフェは豚肉、鶏肉が柔らかくて美味しかった。カラマンシーとパイナップルジュースもgood。午後から、ジュラシックビレッジでたくさん写真を撮り大満足の1日でした(⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Good: the performers and MC where good. Bad: Food and Drink where minimum. Selection was limited. All seemed a little cheap. No quality drink choices. Best tequila was Cuervo Gold, really! What decade are we in. Ugly: the setting terrible. On a roof at the conference center. No ambiance. A conference room on the roof. Hilton could and should do better. I will not recommend. I picked this Luau mostly because of proximity to our hotel. That was a mistake. It was the worst experience of our week stay in Oahu.

I didn't receive the VIP treatment I was expecting, but I appreciated how kindly everyone was treated, regardless of their category.

The show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael was, of course, impressive, but the local female singers also showcased remarkable vocal talent, making it a worthwhile experience. Among them, the final act with the fire knife was thrilling; I was worried they might get burned, but it was executed perfectly—truly impressive! Good job!!

The show's progression followed the calendar year, and the deep admiration for 'Iz' from Hawaii, who appeared on the screen at the end, made the entire performance even more moving.

期待していたほどのVIP待遇は受けませんでしたが、どのカテゴリーの人に対しても親切に対応されていたのは好感がもたれました。

プレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんによるショーは、言わずもがなですが、地元の女性歌手の歌唱力も目を見張るものがあり、見応え十分でした。
中でも、最終演目のファイヤーナイフは、迫力満点で、やけどしてしまわないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、完璧にこなされ、まさにあっぱれ！Good job‼︎

ショーの展開が暦年を追った演出になっており、最後にスクリーンに登場したハワイ出身の『イズ/IZ』に対する深い敬愛がひしひしと感じられ、ショー全体がより感動的なものに仕上がっていました。

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and fire dancing. Before the show, there was a buffet-style dinner, but with the staff's signal, everyone rushed to get their food, creating a huge line. As a result, there wasn't much time, and it felt like we just made one round through the buffet. The roast beef was delicious.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by a medley of impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and songs from local singers, which was quite enjoyable. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

Overall, I felt that just the show would have been enough.

今回ハワイの伝統フラダンスやファイヤーダンスが見たかったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。ショーの前にビュッフェスタイルの夕食がありましたが、スタッフの合図とともに皆一斉に料理を取りにいくため、すごい行列となり時間も無くなりビュッフェといっても一通り１周して終わりといった感じでした。料理内容はローストビーフが美味しかったです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのメドレーとファイヤーダンスや地元の歌手？の歌などでまずまず楽しめました。終了後出演者と写真を撮っていただよい記念になりました。
総合的な感想は、ショーだけでよかったと思いました。

This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.

I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.

The weather was somewhat lacking, but the sun came out occasionally, making it a decent day. The guide on the boat spoke Japanese clearly, so I felt reassured that I could hear the explanations well. At the sandbar, the sea sparkled beautifully, and it was very moving. It was amusing to watch the beach volleyball match between the participants, which turned into a Japan-US competition. (I was thinking to myself, "You went to the beach, and you're happy about that?" haha)

I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger for lunch, but it was very delicious and the portion was just right; it might have been the best part of the tour!

I participated in the last snorkeling session where I could stand, but since it was a few meters deep, I didn't join in to accommodate my family who can't swim. I recommend understanding that snorkeling will be in places where you can't stand before participating. Also, the large shuttle bus was comfortable for both trips, which was nice.

今一な天候でしたが時より太陽も出てまあまあな天気でした
船上でのガイドさんは日本語でかつ良く通る声なのでしっかり説明が聞けて安心できました。
サンドバーの所では海がキラキラ輝いてとても感動しました。
ツアー参加者同士のビーチバレーが日米対抗になっていて見ていて面白かった
(海に行ったんだろ？そんなので喜んでどうするって自分に突っ込んてましたがw)

昼食のハンバーガーは期待していなかったのですが、とてもおいしく量も丁度良くツアーの中でこれが一番良かったかなw

一番最後のシュノーケリングは背が立つレベルなら参加しましたが、数メートルあるそこそこ深い所の為、金槌の家族に合わせ参加しませんでした。背が立たたない場所でのシュノーケリングという事を理解した上で参加されることをお勧めします。
あと送迎のバスが大型で往復ともゆったりできたのは良かったです。

We had this Snorkeling Adventure June1988 on our Honeymoon. We are Happy Uncle Bob’s Snorkeling Adventure 36 years later our Honeymoon with our 2 kids to share our Love June 2024.
Looking forward to do this again with our grandkkds someday.
Awesome crew. Perfect Sandbar
Thank you for the Memories♥️♥️

Although the small child caused various inconveniences, both the driver and the guide who spoke Japanese were very kind, and we had a really great day.

小さな子供が色々と迷惑をかけましたが、運転手さんも日本語のしゃべれるガイドさんもすごく親切で、すごくいい一日を過ごせました。

A relaxed atmosphere where you can feel at ease. However, the performance took a while to start, so I would have liked them to provide a start time! The food was decent! The performance was good, but the children in the pool were a bit distracting (laughs).

気軽な雰囲気でリラックス。ただ演奏か中々始まらないので開始時間を提示して欲しい！食事はまあまあのレベル！演奏は良いがプールの子どもは気になった(笑)

First, we enjoyed a buffet together, and then we moved on to watch the Rock-a-Flash show! When Michael Jackson's song played, I got really excited (laughs).

最初にみなさんでビュッフェをいただいてから、移動してロック・ア・フラショーを鑑賞しました！マイケルジャクソンの歌がかかったときは、テンション上がりました（笑）

This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!
