All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The upper deck was great for taking pictures. We started off with a charcuterie board that had tasty cheeses and fruit. The second course included lobster over a beet salad with a nice puree. My only reservation was the meat which was overcooked in my opinion, but to be fair, I'm sure many people prefer a medium-well filet. Taking pictures in between courses was a huge plus and didn't make us feel confined to the table. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time.

We had an Absolute Wonderful Experience.. We had a group of 8 Family members.
We all Really Learned a lot about the culture.
Had the entire day package.
Thanks to Each and Every One who work to give us such an Outstanding Day. Ending with a Magnificent Breath of Life Performance.
Outstanding.

We renewed our vows and they made it very special for us. Took us to the top of the boat so the captain could renew them for us in a special spot. The food was amazing and service was amazing! 5 course meal was pretty filling. The hula show was awesome! They are amazing! You could barely tell you were on a boat. We got to see the sunset and even some whales.

It took a bit to get to the top of the building but it was worth it. We got there and they were very helpful. Greeted up with a lei and took us to our table. Gave us our drink order (non alcoholic) and took our picture. The line up of food was quite amazing! All kinds of food to please everyone's liking. They also had dessert. It rained pretty good so they were able to cover the side so we didn't get wet. After dessert we we inside to watch the Rock a hula. And it was awesome. Elvis and Michael Jackson preformed along with the amazing hula dancers. It ended with an amazing fire show! It was well worth it! Go see it

This was a full day activity. We stared on the canoe amd ended the one end. Walked to each village. At each village they are very informative on their culture. They have activities you can participate in or just watch their 15-20 min skits. The journey movies was quite amazing but moves a lot, but worth it. The buffet was absolutely the best I've ever been to! So much food to choose from. Plus there was live entertainment. We also stayed for the breath of life show, which was spectacular. Goosebumps for sure.

The dance and singing were of high quality and enjoyable. You can also enjoy meals and entertainment before the show. The impersonators of Elvis and Michael were so dedicated to their roles that it didn't feel cheap at all. I recommend going at least once.

ダンスも歌もクオリティが高く楽しめました。ショウの前の食事やエンターテイメントも楽しめます。エルビスとマイケルのそっくりさんもなりきり方が徹底しているので安っぽさありませんでした。一度は行ってみることをお勧めします。

The food was just average. Since it's a buffet, you can eat as much as you want. A person came around playing the ukulele at each table, but it seemed like they were looking for tips, so feel free to decline if you don't want to give one. Dining outdoors had its challenges due to the season and weather, and it was a bit cold. We got VIP seats for the show, but I think you can enjoy it from the regular seats as well. The impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson seemed to be of high quality.

食事の味はまぁ普通です。ビュッフェなので満足するまで食べられます。
各席を回ってウクレレを弾いてくれる方が回って来ましたがチップ狙いのようなので不要であれば断ってください。
野外での食事で季節、天候の問題もあり多少寒かったです。
ショーはVIP席をとりましたが、通常の席でも楽しめると思います。
エルビスやマイケル・ジャクソンのモノマネですがレベルは高いようです。

This combo offers an immersive and entertaining experience that captures the spirit of Hawaiian culture. The evening begins with a warm welcome and traditional lei greeting, setting the tone for an authentic Hawaiian experience.

The dinner itself features a delicious buffet spread showcasing a variety of local dishes, including traditional Hawaiian favorites such as kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, and poi. The food is fresh, flavorful, and provides a wonderful introduction to Hawaiian cuisine.

The performance showcases the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, with vibrant costumes, energetic dances, and soulful music that transport audiences to another time and place. One of the highlights of the evening is the fire knife dance, a mesmerizing display of skill and daring that never fails to impress. Watching the performers twirl, spin, and juggle flaming knives against the backdrop of the night sky is truly awe-inspiring and adds an exhilarating finale to the show.

Lots of fun. Nice staff. Beautiful area! Was a great adventure for a family! Would highly recommend. You can Kayak, snorkel and go on a nice bike ride all in one day.

This was an awesome tour with lunch included, our tour guide Ernie was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour very pleasant and educating! Very glad we selected this tour, and also very glad we got a great tour guide.

Kualoa Ranch Movie Location Tour
It was worth going; visiting six movie and drama filming locations was fun. I opted for a tour with transportation included. The price was quite high, but it included a Kaneohe Bay cruise.
The tour took plenty of time, and the lunch buffet was excellent.
The tour of the filming locations for Jurassic Park and the Ocean Voyage tour were all guided in English, and I’m really glad I participated.

クアロア牧場映画ロケ地巡りツアー
行った甲斐があった映画やドラマロケ地6ヶ所めぐり楽しかった。送迎付きツアーにしました。お値段はかなり高かったですが
カネオヘ湾クルーズ付き
たっぷり時間をかけたツアーランチビュッフェも最高でした
ジェラシックパークの撮影地ツアー
＆オーシャンボヤージュのツアー
全て英語でのガイドでしたが
参加して本当に良かったです

Nice environment and friendly staff. Show was brief and nothing like it has been advertised for. Food in multiple varieties but so crowded and needs to be more organized

It started with the staff draping leis on us, followed by a buffet-style dinner while enjoying Mai Tais! After a practice corner for hula dancing, it was finally time for the dinner show! There were performances typical of Hawaii, as well as impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson... it was quite a packed experience. It might be similar to the shows you see in Las Vegas. I had a great time on my last night in Honolulu.

係の方からレイを掛けてもらうところから始まり、マイ・タイを飲んだりしながらのビュッフェスタイルのディナー！
フラダンスの練習コーナーもあったりしたあとは、いよいよディナーショー！
ハワイらしいショーもあったり、エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーもあったり…と盛り沢山な感じでした。
ラスベガスなんかで見るショーに似てるかも…。
ホノルル最後の夜を楽しく過ごせました

I went on a honeymoon trip to Hawaii this time. I thought it would be fun to see hula dancing and fire dancing, so I decided to participate.

First, I received a welcome flower lei and was guided backstage for a photo shoot, after which I enjoyed a welcome champagne. Later, I received the photos taken at that time. After that, I got to wear the instruments and costumes used during the hula dance and even stood on the stage. The explanations were thorough, and the couple I was with was very friendly, making for a fun time and a valuable experience.

Before the buffet, I had a Mai Tai and pineapple, which were fruity and very delicious. I was allowed to go to the buffet first, and the roast beef was particularly exquisite.

After the meal, there was a show, and I had a great time sitting in the very front row. Elvis came down from the stage and shook hands with us, which really boosted my excitement. The fire show was quite thrilling, and being in the front row added to the intensity.

After the performance, there was a photo opportunity with the stars, and I was able to take pictures and get autographs with everyone. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I had a wonderful time. I definitely want to participate again.

今回ハネムーンでハワイ旅行に行きました。フラダンスやファイヤダンスが見れて楽しそうだなと思い参加させていただきました。
最初に歓迎のお花の首飾りをいただき、バックステージへ案内していただき写真撮影後、ウェルカムシャンパンを頂きました。後にその時撮った写真をいただきました。その後、実際にフラダンスの時に使用する楽器や衣装を実際に身につけたり、ステージの上に立たせてもらいました。丁寧なご説明と、一緒に回ったご夫婦もとても気さくで楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来て、また貴重な体験が出来ました。
ビュッフェの前に、マイタイとパイナップルをいただきそれがフルーティーでとても美味しかったです。ビュッフェは優先的に取りに行かせてもらい、特にローストビーフが絶品でした。
食事の後、ショーでしたがセンターの1番前の席で本当に楽しかったです。
エルビスさんが客席を降りて握手もしてくれて、とてもテンションが上がりました。
ファイヤショーはとてもハラハラして、最前列だったこともありかなりの迫力でした。
開演後はスターとの記念撮影があり、皆様と写真とサインを撮ることができました。
初めてのハワイでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。是非また参加したいと思います。

I participated in the luau in November 2023. The fire dance performance was truly spectacular! The powerful dance and unique techniques, along with a large number of male dancers handling fire, made for a very impressive luau!

The location is in the Kapolei area, a bit away from Waikiki, and the luau is held on the grounds of the theme park "Wet 'n' Wild." I visited using a rental car, but there are also paid shuttles available from Waikiki, so if you're feeling uncertain, using the shuttle might be a good option.

The luau starts around the time Wet 'n' Wild closes. Staff dressed in Hawaiian attire greet you at the entrance and place a lei around your neck. Along the way to the venue, you can take commemorative photos before entering the open-air venue. The seating consists of plastic chairs, but they are neatly arranged, and a staff member guides you to your assigned seat.

During the bright hours before all the guests arrive, you can experience Hawaiian culture. I tried making a crown using coconut leaves. It might be fun for families with elementary school children or groups to participate in. There was also a traditional fire-starting demonstration on stage. You can enjoy a friendly atmosphere while waiting for the show to start.

Once all the guests have arrived, the show begins. First, there is a welcome performance by strong male dancers, followed by the meal time. The meal is served buffet-style, and you take food in the order you are seated. Since there were many large guests from the mainland, some menu items were gone by the time I went for seconds... It might be a good idea to take enough food during the first serving.

The staff also provides drinks with the meal. I refrained from alcohol since I was driving, but there are menu items like Mai Tai cocktails that you can only enjoy in Hawaii! If you're coming with a shuttle or with family, I recommend enjoying the exclusive drinks.

After enjoying a hearty meal, it’s finally time for the dance show. By the time the show starts, the sun has set, and the torches on stage create an atmospheric setting. The audience also starts to get excited. The dance show features about eight performers, showcasing not only hula but also Tahitian dance and moody performances, all of which are very engaging.

The highlight of this luau is undoubtedly the fire dance! The number of performers, the intensity, and the main dancer's skills combined to create an overwhelming performance. It ended with a standing ovation and loud applause. If you want to enjoy a show full of excitement, this is definitely a luau you should participate in!

It was incredibly impressive, and I'm glad I participated! Thank you to all the staff!

2023年11月に参加させていただきました。1にも2にもファイヤーダンスが圧巻のパフォーマンス！大迫力のダンスと他に類を見ないような技術の数々、火を扱う男性ダンサーの数も多く、非常に見応えたっぷりのルアウでした！

場所は少々ワイキキから離れたカポレイ地区、テーマパーク「ウェット＆ワイルド」の敷地内で実施されているルアウです。私はレンタカーを使って訪問しましたが、ワイキキから有料送迎も出ているので不安な方は送迎利用も良いかもしれません。

ルアウの開始時間はウェット＆ワイルドの閉園と近い時間。入口でハワイアンの装いをしたスタッフさんたちが出迎え、1人ずつレイを首にかけててくれます。会場までの道中で記念写真を撮っていただき、オープンエアの会場へ。座席はプラスチックのイスですが、きれいに整頓されており、自分の指定席にスタッフさんが案内してくれました。

お客さんが全員揃うまでの明るい時間帯はハワイアン文化の体験ができます。私はココナッツの葉っぱを使った冠作りに挑戦。小学生連れのご家族やグループで楽しんでみても良いかもしれません。ステージの上では昔ながらの火起こし体験も実施されていました。ショー開始までの時間、和気あいあいとした雰囲気を満喫することができます。

会場にお客さんが揃った頃からショーの開始です。まずは屈強な男性陣によるウェルカムパフォーマンスがあり、そこからお食事タイムへ。食事はブッフェ形式で席に座っている順番に取り分けていく流れです。大柄なアメリカ本土のお客さんが多かったせいか、おかわりを取りに行った頃にはなくなっているメニューもいくつか…1回目のとりわけでしっかりと食べる分は取っておくと良いかもしれませんね。

お食事と共にスタッフさんがドリンクを提供してくれます。私は運転があったのでアルコールは控えましたが、マイタイカクテル等、ハワイでしか飲めないメニューも！送迎つきで来られている方やご家族で来ている場合は、限定ドリンクを楽しむのもお勧めです。

お腹いっぱいまでお食事を楽しんだ後は、いよいよダンスショータイムになります。ショー開始の頃には日も沈んで夜も更けており、ステージ上の松明が世界感を演出。会場に合わせて、客席も盛り上がってきます。ダンスショーは男女8名程度の構成で、フラダンスはもちろん、タヒチアンダンスやムーディーなダンス等、見応えたっぷりの演目が続きます。

このルアウの見どころはなんといってもファイヤーダンス！人数、迫力、メインダンサーの技術など、総合して圧倒的なパフォーマンスでした。最後はスタンディングオベーションで大拍手喝采。とにかく迫力満点のショーを楽しみたい方には、是非参加いただきたいルアウショーでした！

非常に見応えたっぷり、参加して良かったです！
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.

The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.

The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.

The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.

Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.

After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.

You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.

After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!

The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.

Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.

The entire event is c

以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。

会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。

16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…！並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。

当日はハワイらしい快晴！開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。

会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ！全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。

しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。

食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる？」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。

一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった～！

ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス！！
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事！火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。

他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。

なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず！
（一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。）

ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました！

This is our second time with Captain Bob's, and we will definitely return.... We recommend this group because they are very knowledgeable, you get to play on the sandbar, enjoy a great lunch, snorkel around a small reef and they take you to a spot to see many turtles!!!!
Our captains were so helpful with our family members that needed extra help, they were so attentive to their needs and were watching our for them all the time...... They were so friendly and pleasant to be around..... Awesome, fantastic, wonderful, excellent were the words my family of 6 kept saying over and over...... We highly recommend Captain Bob's and will definitely return when we come back to Oahu....

Billy was fantastic would love to have Billy as a tour guide on every time

The Chief was entertaining and the show was great. I always wanted to see a Luau. Highly recommend

My kiddos had a blast, it was so worth it if you do have kiddos as Chief S really incorporates everyone in the crowd!

Great evening, very funny night and good food as well. Make sure to get there early as your seats depend on so!

I participated on the last day with a reservation, and it was more enjoyable than I expected. Regarding the food, it was impressive, which can be said for all of Hawaii. My wife and daughter were also pleased. The show had a slightly smaller audience due to the day of the week, but the Western guests really got into it, making it a lot of fun. I would like to participate again next time I visit Hawaii.

最終日に予約の上で参加しましたが
期待以上で楽しかったです。
食事についてはハワイ全体で言えることですが
豪快なものでした。
妻と娘も喜んでました。
ショーは曜日の関係もあり観客が少々少なかったですが
欧米の方が盛り上げてくださり大変楽しかったです。
次回、ハワイに行った際も参加したいですね。

Both the participants and the staff created a great atmosphere, making it a memorable page in my travel experiences! I was able to see more animals than I expected. The food was delicious too.

参加者もスタッフもいい雰囲気で旅行の思い出の１ページになりました！動物も思ったより多く見れました。ご飯もおいしかったです。

First, we enjoyed a welcome drink in a separate room, and the show director guided us backstage, sharing insights about the costumes of the show members and the creative aspects behind the scenes. The dancers' costumes were heavy, and Elvis's outfits were quite flashy.

During dinner, we were able to go for our meal with priority, and we could watch the show happening right next to us. The first half of the show featured the history of Hawaiian music. We listened to nostalgic songs that showcased the changing rhythms of Hawaiian music over time. There was an introduction to famous Hawaiian singers, and I learned about the number one singer in Hawaii, IZ, also known as Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.

The second half was the much-anticipated Elvis and Michael showtime. Elvis performed his signature hip-shaking dance in his flashy costume, while Michael dazzled us with his ghost dance and moonwalk. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience, and the American female audience was thrilled during the showtime. One unforgettable highlight was the main female singer who performed beautifully throughout the show.

最初にウエルカムドリンクを別室で頂いて、ショーデイレクターに楽屋裏を案内してもらいショーメンバーの衣装や楽屋裏の工夫なんかを教えてもらいました。ダンサーの衣装の重いこと、エルビスの衣装の派手なこと。
夕食では優先的の食事をとりに行けて、食事中の行われるショウもすぐそばで見れました。
ショウは前半がハワイアンミュージックの歴史。ハワイアンミュージックを時代順にリズムが変わっていくのを懐かしい曲に乗せて聴くことが出来ました。ハワイアンの有名な歌手の紹介があって
ハワイで１番の歌手IZことイズラエル・カマヴィオヴォオレを知ることが出来た。後半はお待ちかねエルビス＆マイケルのショウタイム。エルビスのお決まりの派手な衣装での腰振りダンス。マイケルのお化けダンスにムーンウォークととても楽しめる内容、米国の女性客は大盛り上がりのショウタイム、楽しいいひとときでした。その中でもメインで通しで歌う女性歌手が歌が素敵だったことが忘れられない。

The Dole farm and factory were a lot of fun. The ocean was beautiful as well. For lunch, a sandwich lunch box was provided. No Japanese guidebook was handed out. However, at the Dole plantation, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese and explained important parts in Japanese (it might have been a coincidence). Additionally, the guide could speak some Japanese, so there were times when they communicated using Japanese words. During the transfers, the guide explained various things about Hawaii in English. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand most of the explanations, but I still enjoyed each of the places we visited.

ドールの農場も工場もとても楽しかったです．海もきれいでした．お昼はサンドイッチのランチBOXが配布されました．
日本語の案内書は渡されませんでした．しかし，（偶然かもしれませんが）ドール農園では，日本語を話せるスタッフの方が同行してくださり，重要な部分を日本語で説明してくださいました．また，ガイドさんも多少日本語が話せる方でしたので，日本語の単語でコミュニケーションを取ってくださることもありました．
移動中はガイドさんが，英語でハワイの様々なことを説明してくださいます．
残念ながら，私はその解説の大半を理解することができませんでしたが，それでもそれぞれの訪問地を十分楽しむことができました．

A couple over 60 participated together. Since they are active and regularly exercise, they weren't worried about their physical stamina, but it was their first experience with kayaking, so they chose a two-hour guided tandem ride. Paddling through the blue sea while getting splashed by the waves was a refreshing escape from daily life, and it felt truly wonderful. If there's a next time, they would like to try the five-hour course as well. However, they only brought $30 in cash and were dismayed to realize that tips were necessary. They apologized to the guide and left what they could, but they regret not being able to give more.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦　2人で参加　普段から体を動かしているので　体力的には心配ありませんでしたが　カヤックは初体験なので　2時間のガイド付き　2人乗りを選びました。
波を被りながら漕ぎ進む青い海は　日常とかけ離れていて　本当に気持ち良かったです。次回があるなら　5時間コースも体験したいです。
ただ、現金を$30しか持って行かなくて
チップが必要とわかって愕然としてしまいました。ガイドさんに謝ってあるだけ置いてきましたが　申し訳ない事をしてしまったと反省しています。

Aloha!
There is nothing left to say other than the Chief and his team made the luau experience magical on the date of my wife’s 50th birthday. We were right up front and the entertainment from park entrance to finale did not disappoint. Well organized and timed to an almost military precision the multiple events were educational, mystifying and steeped in traditions that we were taught throughout the performance through music dance and some well timed humour. Food was amazing.
This is 5/5 and a MUST DO on a visit to Oahu.
Thanks again
Mahalo

I did the secret island back in 2015, and it truly felt like a secret island. The amount of people that were there at that time were the same amount of people on the boat. Now it is overhwelmed 10 fold of people. From the previous time going and present activities to do, they added a couple more presently. One of which checking out the turtles.
Anyways its still fun, especially with someone else.

It was interesting to say, enjoyed the environment and the food. Was with my girlfriend and she loved it. Was at a table on the edge to the starboard side. What topped it all was doing it on the night of the fireworks! Would do again.

On the last day of our stay, we booked a VIP backstage tour without explaining the details to my wife (just that there would be a buffet and hula dancing) and checked in on time. We were welcomed with leis and spent a little time with our guide, Alexis, who provided clear and friendly explanations in English before being taken to the Green (VIP) room. We enjoyed a welcome drink of sparkling wine and took a commemorative photo. There were snacks like cheese, but we only had a little since we were saving room for the buffet later.

After that, we went on the backstage tour. We even got to go on stage before the audience arrived, experiencing things from the performers' perspective. When we returned to our seats, the luau buffet began. There were some groups seated, but it seemed like the audience was only about half full (only the tables in front of the two entrances were occupied). We also received a ticket for an additional drink, so I had a second Blue Hawaii, which was delicious—highly recommended!

Hawaiian songs and hula performances took place next to our table, and at the end, there was a customary invitation for guests to join in the dance. I recommend giving it a try! The luau featured roast beef and whole roasted pig, which were very tasty. My wife said she wished she could have eaten more of the roasted pig. Our guide's words, "Eat until you're full and be happy," were definitely put into practice.

Afterward, we moved to the theater for showtime. The VIP seats were in the front row center, allowing us to feel the energy of the show up close. We enjoyed performances from a slightly grown Elvis and a smaller Michael, along with hula and fire dancing, without getting bored. The fire dance was particularly impressive, and we could feel the heat from the flames—so thrilling! My wife was extremely excited about the fire dance.

We were told that as long as we didn't use flash, we could take photos and videos on stage, which was a nice surprise. After the show, we were sent off by Elvis and Michael, and we had a truly enjoyable time, feeling fulfilled both in our stomachs and hearts. Mahalo!

When we came out after the show, it was past 9 PM. Considering the four hours we spent, I think this tour offers great value for the price (especially when you think about the cost of a steak dinner!).

滞在最終日にバックステージツアー付きVIPで予約し、家内には内容詳しく説明しない（ビュッフェ付きでフラダンス見れるよ。だけ）で時間にチェックイン。
レイの歓迎をされ、ガイドのアレクサスさん（？）のフランクで分かりやすい英語の説明や会話で少し時間をつぶして、グリーン（VIP）ルームにご案内。
スパークリングワインのWelcomeドリンク＆記念写真を撮っていただきます。
チーズなどのおつまみもありましたが、この後のビュッフェのため少しだけいただきます。
その後、バックステージなどのツアーです。
まだお客さん入っていないステージの上にもあがれ、演者の視点なども体験。
席に戻って、ルアウビュッフェの開始。団体さんも席についてますが、入りは半分くらい？（２か所ある手前のテーブルのみ）
ドリンクも追加１杯のチケットついてたので、２杯目はブルーハワイをいただきましたが、これ美味しい～♪お勧めですよ♪
テーブル脇でハワイアンソングとフラが行われ、最後は恒例（？）お客様を招いて一緒にダンス。挑戦するのもお勧めしま～す♪
ルアウにはローストビーフや豚の丸焼きなどあり、大変おいしかったです。
家内は豚の丸焼きもっと食べたかったと言うくらい。ガイドさんの「お腹いっぱいになってHappyになってね。」を実践しました。
その後劇場に移動してショータイム。
VIP席は最前列中央で熱気満々のショーを肌で感じられます。
ちょっと成長気味のエルビスとちょっと小振りのマイケルのステージとフラ、ファイヤーダンスなど飽きること無く見れます。
特にファイヤーダンスは火の暑さも感じられ、迫力満点！
家内はファイヤーダンスが凄い！と興奮しまくりでした。
ステージは写真もビデオもフラッシュたかなければ、「内緒だけどOK。止めに来れないでしょ？」って説明受けました。
ステージ後はエルビス、マイケルにお見送りされ大変楽しい時間を過ごせ、お腹も心も満たされました。マハロ～♪
ステージ終わって出てきたら２１時過ぎ、４時間を過ごしての値段であればコスパ良い（ステーキディナーの値段を考えればお値打ちですよ～！）といえるツアーだと思います。
