All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I'm glad I participated in the North Shore tour. I was the only one attending alone, but the guide, Takashi, was very considerate and made it enjoyable. He talked with us the whole way, and I learned a lot. I thought it was wonderful that people live abroad. I also received a lot of snacks, most of which I wouldn't have eaten on my own, and I was very satisfied.

ノースショアツアーに参加して良かったです。
1人参加は私だけでしたが、ガイドのたかしさんが気を遣ってくださり楽しめました。
道中ずっとお話してくださり勉強になりました。
海外に住んで生きてる方は素敵だなと思いました。たくさんのお菓子も頂き、自分じゃ食べないものばかりで大満足です。

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!

The sunset dinner cruise was quite crowded. Since I had reserved a 5-star experience, there wasn't much of a feeling of congestion when I arrived on the floor, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meal also progressed slowly, so many people went out to the deck to enjoy themselves along the way. While sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the sunset... I realized the sky was filled with stars. Fireworks erupted from Waikiki Beach, and the atmosphere on the boat reached its peak! After that, we returned to port while indulging in jazz. It turned out to be a wonderful day.

サンセットディナークルーズはかなりの混雑ぶり。5スターを予約したのでフロアに着くとそれほど混雑感は無く、ゆっくりと楽しめました。食事もかなりゆっくりと進むので、途中デッキに出て楽しんでいる方も大勢いました。サンセットを眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら…気付くと満天の星空。ワイキキビーチから花火が上がり船内の盛り上がりも最高潮！その後、JAZZに酔いしれながら帰港。素敵な1日になりました。

Great food, good entertainment, great view of the fireworks, and ended the cruise with a fun dance party!

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.

The trip was fun and the staff were great. They gave great information about everything we were doing and safety was very important to them.

The sandbar was in the ocean, but the weather was great, the scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun! The guide was wonderful, and the hamburger was delicious. As mentioned in everyone's reviews, it's recommended to bring extra towels and a jacket since it can get cold!

サンドバーは海の中だったけど、それでもとても天気も良く景色も良く楽しかったです！ガイドさんも素敵でハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
みなさんの口コミ同様、寒くなるのでタオルや上着は多めに用意するのがおすすめです！

This was my third time kayaking, so I didn't take a guide. Before departure, I checked a 10-minute explanation on a tablet. We transported the kayak on a cart for about five minutes to the nearby riverbank, then lifted it off the cart and into the water. This was my first experience in this area, so I was a bit nervous but felt happy when I succeeded. When we reached the beach, a young man asked in English, "It's from a nearby shop, do you need support?" I thought I would be asked for a tip, so I declined with a "No thank you" (he might have been genuinely kind; another young man helped pull the kayak up to the sandy beach when we were leaving).

The uninhabited island seemed to be about 300 meters away, but it was difficult to get on the kayak at the water's edge. We laughed while getting on, even as we tipped over. After that, we paddled right and left, struggling to balance our power, and with the waves, I felt a bit anxious about whether we would be okay. After about ten minutes, we got into a rhythm and arrived at the uninhabited island in about twenty minutes.

After that, we paddled steadily towards the coral reef at Lanikai Beach. We borrowed snorkeling gear, left the kayak on the beach, and went snorkeling. I had put my sunglasses, shoes, and boots in a mesh bag for snorkeling, but since I didn't secure it properly, some of the items floated away. I found a few later, but remember to close the bag tightly. This took about three hours.

After eating, we rented bicycles and went cycling. I had planned to try bodyboarding, but the waves weren't that strong. I paddled quite hard, so I didn't have the energy to think about anything else, which gave me a good sense of fatigue, satisfaction, and accomplishment. The sea and the scenery were very beautiful, and I saw sea turtles swimming.

カヤックは３回目くらいですので、ガイドはつけませんでした。
出発前にタブレットで１０分程度の説明を確認してから出発です。
台車に載せてあるカヤックを、５分くらい近くの川べりまで運んでから、台車からおろして、よいしょと川へ。この辺も初体験なのでちょっとドキドキしながら、できた！とうれしい。浜辺に着くと、お兄さんが「近くのショップのものだが、サポートが必要か？」と英語で聞いてくるので、きっとチップを取られると思い、No thank youとお断り（本当は親切かもしれません。帰るとき別のお兄さんがカヤックを砂浜まで引き上げて助けてくれました。）。
無人島は300mくらい先のようですが、まず波打ち際でカヤックに乗るのが難しい。沈しながら、笑いながら乗船。その後は、右に行ったり、左に行ったり、二人のパワーバランスが揃わず、波もあり、大丈夫なのか？とちょっと不安になりました。１０分くらいすると調子も出てきて、２０分くらいで無人島に到着。
その後は、ラニカイビーチのサンゴ礁を目指してひたすら漕ぐ。シュノーケリングのセットを借りたので、浜辺にカヤックを置いて、シュノーケリング。シュノーケリングを入れる網袋にサングラス、靴、ブーツなどをいれていましたが、口をしっかり留めなかったので、中に入れていたものが流れてしまいました。いくつかはその後見つかりましたが。口をしっかり締めることをお忘れなく。これで３時間くらい。
食後、自転車を借りてサイクリング。ボディーボードをやろうと思っていましたが、それほどの波はありませんでした。
結構必死に漕いだので、他のことを考える余裕もなく、良い疲労感と満足感、そして達成感が得られました。海も景色もとても綺麗でした。ウミガメが泳いでいました。

Instead of having an expensive meal at a restaurant, this package, which is reasonably priced and includes a show, is the best option. It's just a short walk from Waikiki Beach, so you don't need transportation, making it even more cost-effective. "The Sin Elvis Presley" is really hilarious. You absolutely have to see it. "The Sin Michael Jackson" is a bit too overweight (laughs).

ヘタにレストランで高価な食事をするくらいなら、それよりお値段もお手頃でショーが見れるこのパックは最高です。
ワイキキビーチからすぐなので、送迎不要で歩いて行くとさらにハイＣＰ。
「シン・エルビス・プレスリー」めっちゃ笑えます。絶対見るべき。
「シン・マイケル・ジャクソン」は太りすぎです（笑）。

Unfortunately, it was high tide, so there was no sandbar, and the shallowest part was about waist-deep. It was much colder than I imagined, and I was shivering. I recommend bringing thick bath towels for everyone! The sea was beautiful, but there weren't many fish at the snorkeling spot. The fun guide, the burgers on the boat, and the warm drink at the end were great! Thank you!

あいにく満潮時間だったのでサンドバーはなく一番浅いところで腰くらいでした。。
想像よりかなり寒くてガクガク震えていました。
厚めのバスタオルを人数分持っていくのをオススメします！
海は綺麗でしたがシュノーケルの場所に魚はあまりいなかったです。
楽しいガイドさんと船上ハンバーガー、最後の温かいドリンクが良かったです!
ありがとうございました！

My Father and Mother-in-law asked me to plan their vow renewal ceremony while we were in Honolulu. They wanted to renew their vows on the beach, but with my father having Parkinson's, I knew it would be a difficult trek through the sand. While searching, I came across the Star of Honolulu. They had everything we were looking for. My Father could have use of his mobility scooter, as the boat had an elevator. The dinner and entertainment were good, and the ceremony performed by the captain was intimate. The captain made sure that my father was comfortable and safe during the ceremony and paid special attention to both of my parents. It was a special time and one we won't forget.

I wanted to see a show that was characteristic of Hawaii, but I preferred to have my meal separately, so I made a reservation here. The location is at the Royal Hawaiian Center, which was easily accessible and convenient. When I presented the voucher at the reception, they kindly guided me. The restrooms were clean, which was reassuring. You can enjoy the show while sipping on drinks. Payment for drinks is by credit card only. You can enjoy performances by Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators. The fire dance was thrilling. Taking a photo together at the end became a wonderful memory. The staff were all friendly, and I had a great time. They sometimes spoke to me in Japanese.

ハワイらしいショーも観たいけど、食事は別にとりたかったので、こちらを予約させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンターで、アクセス良く楽でした。受付にバウチャーを出すと快く案内してくれました。
トイレは清潔で、安心。
飲み物を楽しみながらショーを観れます。飲み物の支払いはクレカのみです。
マイケルジャクソンやプレスリーそっくりさんの歌を楽しめます。ファイヤーダンスはハラハラです。
最後に写真を一緒に撮れたのが、いい思い出になりました。
スタッフは皆さんフレンドリーで楽しめました。日本語で話しかけてくれることもあります。

It was a kayak and snorkeling tour. It was my first time kayaking, but since Tomo could speak Japanese, I felt at ease. For snorkeling, we went to the heavenly sea by bike, which was included for free, but I felt a bit short on time. Next time, I would like to snorkel a little longer. The staff member Natsue was very friendly and taught us various things, making it a very enjoyable time.

カヤックとシュノーケルのツアーでした。
カヤックは初めてでしたがともさんが日本語ができるので安心してできました。
シュノーケルは天国の海まで無料でついている自転車で行きましたが、時間が少し足りなく感じました。次回はもう少し長くシュノーケルしたいと思いました。
スタッフのなつえさんも気さくに色々教えて頂きとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

My daughter absolutely loved this beach! We loved this and would go back time and time again!

Really great evening and full day as well. full of island culture!

Really eloquent set up, and a fun evening on vacation! Fun to be on the water compare to the nightly restaurants!

The day goes by quick, so you may need a second day to explore, but the lunch add in was nice as it is hot durin the summer walking around grounds!

The show started with an authentic floor show, followed by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The duration of the show was just over an hour, and I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

Personally, I don't know many songs by Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson, so I wasn't sure how similar they were, but I felt that there were considerations in place to make it enjoyable even for those who aren't familiar, such as music videos and live footage playing on the screen in the background.

Since you can sit back and enjoy the floor show at a leisurely pace, I think this is a recommended optional tour for families.

本格的なフラーショーから始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンの順番でした。
ショーの時間は大体１時間強といったところで、飽きることなくショーを楽しむことが出来ました。

私自身、あまりエルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンの曲を知らないので、どの程度似ているのか分からないところもありましたが、PVやライブ映像が後ろのスクリーンに流れる等、知らなくても楽しめる配慮がされているように感じました。

席に座ってゆっくりフラーショーなど楽しめるので、家族連れにおすすめのオプショナルツアーだと思います。

First, I enjoyed a buffet while watching hula. The food was very delicious, and I was satisfied. There were many dishes, and I ended up eating too much. There was also a simple hula lesson; I didn't participate, but I enjoyed watching.

After the meal, we moved to the venue to watch the show. The seats were not assigned, but the staff asked how many people were in our group and guided us. Since I was alone, I was shown to a seat in the fifth row from the front, which was available.

The content included hula and other performances, and it was very satisfying. After the show, there was a greeting session where they offered photos and autographs, which I thought was impressive!

まず、フラをみながらビュッフェを食べました。
お食事もとても美味しく、満足しました。品数も多くついつい食べすぎてしました。
簡単なフラのレッスンもあり参加はしませんでしたが、みて楽しめました。

食事の後は、会場に移動してショーを観覧しました。
席は指定ではないのですが、人数を聞かれてスタッフに案内されていました。私は1人だったので空いていた前から5列目の席に案内されました。

内容もフラとその他、満足感のある内容でした。
ショーの後もグリーティングなどがあり、写真やサインも対応していてすごいなぁと思いました笑

The crew was super nice and made us feel at home. Food and drinks were great and of course the views and activities were the highlights of the trip!

Daddy/ daughter time horseback riding. I asked my daughter tonight on our last day of our vacation. What is your favorite on all our activities, she said Gunstock Ranch Horse back. I agree with her also. Recommended to do it when you go to OAHU… they are not as crowded like the other ranch near by… also for the money spend,
Friendly staffers.

It was an activity that included everything you can do in Hawaii. Snorkeling from the boat was a great experience. The dinner was all-you-can-eat and drink, and it was a good value!

HAWAIIにいるからできることがすべて入ったアクティビティでした。船からのシュノーケリングは良い体験です。夕食も飲み食べ放題、コスバ良し!

I had imagined a cheap tourist show featuring Presley and Michael Jackson, but I was captivated by the powerful acts of the dancers. Both Presley and Michael embodied entertainment and performance, and the female singer was wonderful as well. Personally, I was particularly impressed by the performance of a Japanese woman who seemed to be in charge of percussion and keyboards in the music cast.
The dinner before the show was buffet-style, making it easy to enjoy a meal, and on top of that, the children were able to receive a simple hula dance lesson, which was a nice touch.

「プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンの登場するハワイアンショー」で、観光客向けの安っぽいものを少し想像していたのですが、ダンサーの皆さんのパワフルなアクトに魅了されました。プレスリーもマイケルもエンターテイメント性とパフォーマンスの両方を兼備していたし、シンガーの女性も素晴らしかったです。個人的に、音楽キャストのパーカッション/キーボードを担当していた日本人らしき女性の演奏が目を引きました。
　ショーの前のディナーもビュッフェスタイルで気軽に食事ができて、その上、子どもがフラの振り付けの簡単なレクチャーも受けることができて、至れり尽くせりでした。

It was my fifth visit after four years and four months. I thoroughly enjoyed the unchanged Hawaiian nights. I definitely want to go again next time I visit.

4年4ヶ月ぶりの5回目の訪問でした。
何も変わらないハワイの夜を満喫いたしました。
次回来た時も是非行きたいと思います。

The Luau was good. The Kalua pork was amazing. The plating could have been better. The staff were very friendly and nice.

I am so glad I booked this luau for my family and me. We all had such a good
time. The show was very entertaining to watch. We got to learn a lot about Polynesian culture. They also involve the audience as well. As for the food, it was great as well. There was a wide selection of food and dessert. If you want to have a good time and eat great food, I would recommend this. You also have the option of adding transportation which was great for us.

Overall very nice experience.
Food was better than anticipated and show was funny and very informative.
It is well organized as well.
A bit far and remote however was worth it and would highly recommend.

Dinner & entertainment experience was great,from Elvis to the dancers.Micheal Jackson could some inprovement in both singing & dancing.I would definitely recommend this dinner & show to anyone.photograph was a little overpriced in my opinion.

Incredible staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. I like the options to participate or just soak in the beautiful scenery going snorkeling or on the sandbar. Food was great also!
