All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The shuttle service to and from the hotel made it easy to get around, and I was able to receive explanations about tourist spots and snorkeling in Japanese, allowing me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind! The hamburgers we had on the boat were truly delicious... After getting into the water, it gets cold, so I think it's a good idea to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit (like a rash guard), hot water, a bath towel, and a change of clothes for after disembarking! It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed in Hawaii!

ホテルからの行き帰り送迎ありで楽に移動でき、日本語で観光スポット、シュノーケリングの説明を受けることができ、安心して体験を楽しめました！
船上で食べるハンバーガーも本当に沁みるおいしさでした…
海に入った後は寒くなるので、上から羽織れるもの（ラッシュガード等）、白湯、バスタオル、下船後の着替えなどを用意しておくとよいと思います！
ハワイならではの体験かつ、心ゆくまで堪能できました～

I had a very good experience. At the end, you put a tip in the box, but I think it would also convey more gratitude if you give money to the captain and the guide separately.

However, I was so exhausted that I couldn't do anything at all after coming back that day.

とてもいい経験ができました
箱に最後にチップを入れるのですが、それとは別に、キャプテンやガイドさんにもお金を渡すとより感謝が伝わると思います

ただ疲れ果てすぎてその日帰ってきてからは全くなにもできませんでした

We almost didn't make it but they held for us....by the skin of our teeth and the evening was just a blast after that. The food was good, the entertainment was funny and got the audience engaged. The views were spectacular. Had a lot of fun

Leonard's malasadas, Kahuku's garlic shrimp, and many sightseeing spots, plus the honu popping its head out of the sea, were amazing!
However, I wish we could have sampled some fruits at the fruit farm after the garlic shrimp.
Also, the guide's explanations were hard to hear from the back seat because the microphone was muffled, so I wanted to hear a bit more.
Mahalo!

レナーズのマラサダ、カフクのガーリックシュリンプ、たくさんの観光名所に、ホヌも海から顔だしてくれて最高てした!
ただ、ガーリックシュリンプの後のフルーツ農園ではフルーツの試食出来たらよかったなーと思います。
あと、ガイドさんの説明が後ろの席だとマイクがこもっていてところどころ聞こえにくかったので、もう少し聞きたかったてす。
Mahalo!

Great greeters, buffet. Dinner entertainment and show! Beverages were bad. The Mai Tai didn't taste like a MT. Sdas watered down or missing half required syrup at $5 each. Excellent value. My teen son loved it. We all did. Thank you.

The show was really amazing. We were able to interact with our hosts and learn how to make the head pieces. The dancing was great, but the firing knife throwing was so good . Totally worth it.

I booked a plan without meals that includes photos. I chose this because the reviews for the meals weren't great, but I think the plan without meals was sufficient. It felt like being in a movie theater where I could order drinks and enjoy the show while sipping on them. The seats were closer than I expected and easy to see!

2回席食事なし写真付きプランで予約しました。
食事の口コミがよくなかったので無しにしましたが
食事なしのプランでも充分だと思います。
映画館の様なところでドリンクを注文して、飲みながらショーを楽しむことができました。
席も思っていたよりも近くて見やすかったです！

After four years since the end of COVID, I came to Hawaii with my wife. There’s a nostalgic feeling of coming back. This time, we had dinner at Taormina, where we visit every year. The staff here are very kind, friendly, and provide excellent service. Whenever we mention, “Our wedding anniversary is coming up, so we come to Hawaii every year, and this time we’re back after a long time,” they always surprise us with a dessert message plate at the end (we truly appreciate this annual gesture). The food and the wine they recommended were delicious, making this trip another wonderful memory. We want to visit again next year.

コロナが明けて4年ぶりで妻とハワイに来ました。帰って来たという懐かしさ。今回も毎年お邪魔しているタオルミーナでディナーしました。ここはお店のスタッフさんがとても親切で気さくでサービスも満点で、いつも私たちが「結婚記念日が近いので、毎年この季節にハワイに来ており、今回は久しぶりに来たよ」と言うと、デザートの最後にスイーツのメッセージプレートをサービスして下さりました（毎年サービスして下さりありがたく感じています）。お食事もおすすめしてくれたワインも美味しくて、素敵な思い出がまた一つ増えた旅になりました。また来年もお邪魔したいです。

I had reserved a window seat, but it turned out not to be the case. When I asked about it, they said the window seats were hot and insisted that this was a good seat instead. We ended up at a two-person table facing the window, but the direct sunlight was blinding, and I couldn't enjoy the ocean view.

窓際の席を予約していましたが実際はそうではなく、尋ねたら窓際は暑い、ここが良い席と言い変更してもらえず、窓際に向かっての二人席で直射日光が眩しくオーシャンビューが楽しめなかったです。

The HA breath of life show was a hit!! we really enjoyed culture center a lot. On the way, the scenery is great also.

Overall great experience of hawaiian culture.
All 6 villages, all helpful staff and then great food in the end. And ending it with cultural show snd fire show

We purchased a plan just for the show with our family, and since we arrived a bit early, we were able to sit in the front row, which was great. The show lasted about two hours and included traditional hula dancing, performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, and fire dancing, making it a very fulfilling experience. Additionally, after the show, we were able to take photos with the performers and get their autographs, so it was a lot of fun right until the very end.

家族でショーだけのプランを購入しましたが、少し早めに着いたこともあり、前の方の席で観れたのでとてもよかったです。約2時間のショーで伝統的なフラダンスから、エルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショー、ファイヤーダンスもありとても充実したショーでした。また、終わった後に出演者と写真を撮ったりサインをもらうことができたので、最後の最後までとても楽しかったです。

Food was delicious, the views where beautiful. Ryan the waiter was great and the entertainment was great also . Just disappointed that we missed the sunset because dinner was served late.

Thanks to Susumu's witty guidance, I was able to participate in a fun and safe manner. It's also appreciated that the roads have been improved compared to a few years ago. The water volume at Manua Falls was low, which was disappointing, but the view from Tantalus Lookout was breathtaking. I also enjoyed a delicious acai bowl for lunch. By adding an event that allows for interaction with nature, it became a memorable trip, not just a city walk. However, it's important to be prepared as weather can have an impact.

ススムさんの軽妙なガイドで、楽しくかつ安全に参加出来た。数年前と比べ道が整備されていることも有難い。マヌア滝は水量が少なく残念だったが、タンタラス丘からの眺めは圧巻。昼食のアサイーボウルも美味しくいただいた。街歩きだけでなく、自然と触れるイベントを加えたことで、思い出に残る旅となった。ただ、天候に影響されることがあるので、準備しておくことが必要。

This was the cherry on top to our visit. The whole staff was welcoming and very helpful. Next time we come to Waikiki, we will definitely be booking again.

Not too big so you can easily experience all the different Island Cultures and activities in 5 or 6 hrs. The Gateway Buffet has a lot of variety and has quality food, including desserts. The Ha; Breath of Life performance is outstanding.
Really enjoyed our visit

I was a little late, and my husband and I hurried to the Royal Hawaiian Center for the luau, arriving about 10 minutes past the start time. However, we made it just in time, and as soon as we reached the reception, we were kindly greeted. Since we had opted for the commemorative photo, the photographer took our pictures. While we listened to the music leaking from the venue, we excitedly rushed to open the door to the second-floor seating area, where the actor playing Elvis Presley was performing with singing and dancing. I was already in a great mood and sat in the empty seats at the back! (You can see perfectly well from the back of the second floor!) The person playing Michael Jackson was also incredibly cool with both his singing and dancing. I was deeply moved to see the hula, which is a traditional Hawaiian dance, as well as the fire performances. During the final photo session with the actors, they happily obliged for autographs, and it was amazing to take pictures with Elvis and Michael! The actors looked just like them, haha. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

少し遅刻してしまい、ロックフラの会場のロイヤルハワイアンセンターまで夫と二人駆け足でいき、時間10分くらい過ぎてしまったのですがなんとか到着し、受付にくるとすぐに親切に声をかけてくださり、記念写真のオプションもつけていたので、カメラマンさんに撮影していただき、会場からの音漏れを聞きながらワクワク急いで二階席の会場の扉をあけるとエルヴィスプレスリー役の役者さんが歌とダンスでパフォーマンスしていて、もう気分はルンルンで後ろのすいてる席に座りました♪(二階席後ろでも全然よく見えます！マイケルジャクソン役の方も、歌もダンスもすごくカッコよくて、フラはハワイの伝統的なダンスやファイヤーのパフォーマンスも観れて大感動でした。最後の役者さんとの記念撮影の時はサインも快く応じてくだり、エルヴィスとマイケルと写真を撮れるなんて最高でした！！役者さんそっくりです笑
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

I was worried about not being able to communicate in Japanese, but the tourists were separated into different boats for Japanese and foreign guests. There was one Japanese female crew member on our boat who kindly and patiently explained everything, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.

The sandbar had waves about knee-high, making it easy to walk around. The emerald green sea was incredibly beautiful, with very little current, and it felt so nice! I took many photos with the stunning scenery in the background, and I am very grateful for that.

We also got to see sea turtles, and when we moved to a spot with coral, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket and see many beautiful fish, creating wonderful memories. (I can't swim, but with the life jacket and fins, I managed to swim alongside my husband.)

The hamburger lunch and drinks, along with the warm cocoa after snorkeling, were also very delicious. Thank you for the wonderful memories!! ♪♪

日本語通じないか不安でしたが、日本人観光客の船と外国の方で船が別れていて、船には日本人女性のクルーの方が一人いて、なんでも優しく丁寧に教えてくれたので、とても安心して楽しむことができました。
サンドバーは膝くらいの波の高さで安心して歩けました。
エメラルドグリーンの海はとても綺麗で、流れもほとんどなく穏やかでとても気持ちよかったです！
絶景をバックに写真もたくさん撮っていただき、大感謝です。
ウミガメも見れて、珊瑚のある場所へ移動してライフジャケットをつけてのシュノーケルも綺麗な魚をたくさん見ながら泳ぐことができ、とても思い出になりました。(私は泳げないですが、ライフジャケットと足ヒレで旦那と一緒でなんとか泳げました。)
ハンバーガーランチとドリンク、シュノーケル後のあったかいココアもとっても美味しかったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！！♪♪

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

This was the best tour I have done while living here on Oahu! We wanted to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. The Crew was so friendly and helpful. I will be recommending this tour to all our future visitors! Additionally, the lunch was bomb!! Cheeseburgers using local beef and fresh vegetables. They are local, they support local and are the true definition of Aloha!
Mahalo

This tour involves walking through the tropical rainforest in Honolulu to reach Manoa Falls, followed by enjoying delicious sandwiches (acai bowls) at the spacious Tantalus Lookout. The contrast between the jungle and the view from the hill was quite interesting.

During the trekking, our guide Daisuke provided various explanations, which was very helpful. Without a guide, I think the experience would have been less enjoyable. It seems there has been little rainfall recently, so unfortunately, the waterfall had a lower water volume, but trekking through the jungle was very enjoyable.

The path was quite rocky and muddy, making it difficult to walk, so I recommend borrowing a walking stick. Insect repellent spray was also available for us to use.

ホノルルの熱帯雨林の道を歩いてマノアの滝に到着、その後広々としたタンタラスの丘で美味しいサンドイッチ（アサイーボウル）を楽しむツアーです。ジャングルの中と丘からの眺めとその対比もなかなか面白かったです。
トレッキング中はガイドのだいすけさんが色々な説明をしてくれてとても良かったです。ガイドさん無しだと歩いて終わりで楽しさもそこそこだったと思います。最近の雨量が少なかったそうで滝は残念ながら水量が少なめでしたが、ジャングルの中のトレッキングはとても楽しめました。
道が結構ゴツゴツしていてぬかるみも多く歩きにくいので、ステッキを貸してもらうことをお勧めします。虫除けスプレーも貸してもらえました。

The reception staff included Japanese speakers, which was reassuring.
It's a Hawaiian show that you can enjoy starting from dinner before the show begins.
The food included Hawaiian dishes that we wouldn't typically choose ourselves, and everything was delicious, even the dessert!

The show was enjoyable for all ages, tracing the history of hula as well as famous artists.

My parents are from the perfect generation and used to listen to this music a lot, so I want to take them next time.

受付には日本語対応のスタッフさんもいらっしゃって安心でした。
ショー開始前のディナーから楽しめるハワイショーです。
食事もハワイのお料理など自分たちでは選ばないようなものばかり、
味も美味しくデザートまで楽しめました！

ショーはフラの歴史はもちろん有名アーティストの歴史をたどるような年代に関係なく楽しめるものでした。

両親がドンピシャ世代で昔良く聞いていたので今度は連れて行ってあげたいなと思っています。

The wait from when we were seated until the meal started was quite long, and I ended up having a lot of time on my hands. We were seated at a long table in the order we arrived, so the people sitting next to me were from groups I didn't know at all. While we were waiting, a local person with a ukulele sang songs upon request, but they weren't very good, and it was quite tough to be forced to tip them. However, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the hula show.

席に座ってからご飯が始まるまでの時間が長く、かなり時間を持て余してしまいました。席は来た順番に長机に向かい合わせで座っていくので両隣はまったく知らないグループになります。待っている間ウクレレをもった現地の方が勝手にリクエストに応じて歌ってくれますがあまり上手でとなく、またチップを強制的に払わされるのが結構しんどかったです。でもご飯はおいしかったですし、フラショーは楽しめました。

The snorkeling time was relatively long, and I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. However, it was a bit cold in the evening. The sunset from the cruise was also very beautiful, making it a wonderful memory. The staff took photos for us, and since there is a sale at the end, I think it's a good idea to bring a little cash or a credit card if you want to purchase them.

シュノーケルの時間も比較的長く、ウミガメも間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ただ、夕方のため少し寒かったです。
クルーズからのサンセットもとてもきれいに見ることができ最高の思い出になりました。
スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださり、最後に販売があるので欲しい方はクレジットカードや現金を少し持っていった方がいいと思います。

The full day was filled with so much history, we felt lucky we chose this event on our vacation!

Tons of fun, food was just okay, definitely a 1 time do but worth it to try for your first Hawaii visit

Really fun evening! We would recommend this luau to our friends visiting.

Laughed out Loud!!! What a fun evening filled with lots of Hawaii memories :)

The crew on this boat is AMAZING! They will make you feel so welcome and right at home. Like you are traveling with old friends. We had a great time and saw a ton of beautiful fish around the reef and even more turtles. We had our one year old son with us and the crew could not have been better and more caring about us having the best possible experience. HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!
