All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I booked this tour with a Japanese guide because my husband doesn't speak English, but the guide and the other participants were all from English-speaking countries and knew zero Japanese. The tour itself was enjoyable, but I was a bit surprised.

旦那さんが英語を話せないので日本語ガイド付きのこちらのツアーを予約しましたが、ガイドおよびツアー参加者が英語圏の方で、日本語はゼロ。ツアー自体は楽しかったですが、少しびっくりしました。

Great food, excellent service, beautiful show, and wonderful atmosphere!

I'm glad I was able to participate in the tour.

The guide, Kanako, was bright and fun, and her explanations during the tour were easy to understand. She was also attentive to everyone in the group, which left a very good impression.

I enjoyed eating the shrimp from Kahuku, malasadas, coffee, and other things I wanted to try. There were no issues with restroom breaks, and I had a great time. If I had one complaint, it would be that the time in Haleiwa was short—about 30 minutes, I think? I was disappointed that I couldn't visit all the shops I wanted to, so I feel a bit regretful about Haleiwa.

I was able to walk through the jungle-like trees and feel the essence of Hawaii, enjoying the rare and precious scenery along with the refreshing air. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of water at Manoa Falls for the tour, but the lunch sandwich was delicious, and I'm glad I signed up for this tour.

ハワイらしさを感じるジャングルのような木々の中を

ランチのサンドイッチも美味しく頂けましたし
このツアーに申込んで良かったです

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

Kimo our tour guide was just wonderful!
Highly recommend this tour. Kimo is very knowledgeable about Hawaii, we all learned so much from him! He made the tour so much fun!
Kimo is a great fun loving guy!

I will start with our driver ernie he so nice and good made the drive not boring...The Historical sites of the Pearl Harbor was amazing and ghostbumps..feeling the history that I only read and watch on YT

The location is about a 30-minute drive from Waikiki, and picking up participants in Waikiki took quite a bit of time. Although it is a hiking tour, there are some steep paths, and since it was raining on and off, I was putting on and taking off my raincoat, which made me sweat a lot and quite tired. (It seems to rain often there, so I think non-slip shoes and a raincoat are necessary.) Also, there are quite a few mosquitoes, so insect repellent spray or long pants are recommended. (I wore shorts and got bitten in several places.) The mystical forest and the fairly large waterfall were amazing to see. On the way back, we had lunch at Tantalus Lookout. I had a pastrami sandwich, and the dressing was especially delicious.

場所はワイキキから車で30分程度のところにあり、
ワイキキでの参加者のピックアップの方が時間がかかったぐらいです。
ハイキングツアーとなっていますが、
結構な坂道になっており、雨も降ったり止んだりで
カッパを着たり脱いだりしていたため、結構汗をかき疲れました。
(雨が降ることが多いところらしいので、
滑りにくい靴とカッパは必要だと思います)
また、蚊が結構いるため虫除けスプレーか長ズボンがお勧めです。
(短パンで行ったため何ヶ所か蚊に刺されました)
神秘的な森と、結構大きな滝が見れて最高でした。
帰りはタンタラスの丘で昼食。パストラミサンドにしましたが、
特にドレッシングがとても美味しかったです。

So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.

Very little elevation gain on the trail, so it’s a very nice walk for most.

The amount of water coming down the falls depends on how much it has been raining. For us there was only a trickle.

They can’t take you to the official Tantalus Lookout inside the state park any more due to current restrictions, but you’ll still be treated to a pretty nice viewpoint overlooking the city after your picnic lunch.

Its a rain or shine experienced but its awesome...My 7yo son is biracial Filipino Taiwanese and cannot understand english but he clapped like an adult during the HA a breath of life show... the fire dance by the samoan made him amaze...the food at gateway was perfect...I've seen so many Filipinos in the buffet area assesting us... So many crew assesting in the tribes sometimes I felt overwhelmed yet its good...the missionaries were good too... the asked me both are approachable too...they all smile...I'm so proud that they have Filipino and other asian workers...Mabuhay
PS. I liked the bus driver Shaft so funny and informative

When you go to the reception at check-in time, you are first seated at a long table outside. The spacing between the chairs is a bit tight, so it feels like you're crammed in among strangers.

You receive a complimentary welcome drink, along with two free drink vouchers (you can choose whether they include alcohol). The meals are served buffet-style, and there were also some light entertainment during the meal. The taste was average, but the drinks (cocktails) were delicious.

Before long, we were guided inside the venue to watch the show, and finally, it was time for the Hawaiian show.

It started with hula dancing, followed by impersonations of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, and there was also a fire dance. The quality of the show was high, and I really enjoyed it.

チェックインタイムに受け付けに行くと、まず外にある長いテーブルに座らされます。椅子の間隔がやや狭いので、知らない人の中に詰め込まれる感じです。

無料のウェルカムドリンク、それとは別にドリンク２杯の無料券がもらえます(アルコール有無が選択できる)。
食事はビッフェ形式で、食事中もちょっとした余興がありました。お味は普通かな。飲み物(カクテル)は、美味しかったです。

そうこうしているうちに、ショーを見るために館内へ入るように案内され、いよいよハワイアンショーです。

フラダンスに始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ダイアナ・ロスのそっくりさんショーがあり、ファイアーダンスもありました。ショーの完成度は高く楽しめました。

現地1/30(月)
母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。

ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。

CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪

ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました！
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました！

シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ！
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました！

ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています！
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います！

I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.

ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。

We were picked up promptly and driver very informative. Dropped off on time to do our event. Upon completion driver there with our fresh malasadas. Then took us and got us seated for our açaí bowls. Came back, on schedule, an hour later and then dropped us back off at our hotel. All so perfectly done and what a pleasant driver.

We celebrated the night before our marriage on this event. We were a large group of 27. They accommodated us and sat us all together. The entertainment and the food were excellent. The servers kept everything flowing and joyful. Very organized and fun. I really enjoyed the dancers and singers. They performed in front of us and had them all over so everyone could enjoy them. The only bummer was that I specifically chose to go on the Friday sunset cruise for the firework show. However, it didn’t happen due to the winds. I was very sad. Other than that, I thought it was a fabulous experience.

Overall great experience with a good meal, friendly crew, and add-ons to capture the adventure.

I would do it again. But I'd some time of approved boat shoe or water shoe. Not a fan of barefoot in public areas.

This is MUST Tour especially if you dont have a rental car! This tour literally stops at ALL the sites and gives you a treat of the island Malasadas and local Shrimp truck at North Shore! The driver was very informative and had the impossible task to keep us on schedule. Very small group of intetesting people and SO Thankful for this option and got dropped off right at our hotel door!! Best Island Tour on Oahu!! Thank you!!

It was held inside the hotel.
They welcomed us with leis, and it was a fun time.
The food was also very filling, and the show was impressive.

ホテル内で開催されていました。
レイでお出迎えしてくれて楽しいひと時。
ご飯もボリューム満点でショーも見応えがあった。

The staff was absolutely fantastic. It was the first tour of the new year, and the weather was perfect! The hamburgers were delicious, and it was a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere. I highly recommend it for those who are inexperienced.

スタッフが最高に楽しかったです。新年1回目のツアーだったらしく、天候も最高！ハンバーガーも美味しくて他では味わえない楽しみでした。
未経験の方は絶対オススメです。

My wife and I enjoyed ourselves on the Sunset Dinner cruise. Have a fabulous time. Enjoyed the sunset and show.

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.

Michael Jackson was terrible.
He was overweight, danced poorly, and lip-synced.
I wonder what he was trying to do—was there a lack of talent?
There was no emotion or satisfaction.

マイケルジャクソン酷過ぎ
太めで、ダンスが下手で口パク
何がしたいのだろう　人材不足？
感動も満足感もなし

It was a wonderful show.
The performance was amazing, and of course, the singing and dancing were top-notch.
It was a fusion of hula and rock.

素晴らしいショーでした。
演奏も素晴らしく、勿論歌やダンスも最高でした。
フラとロックの融合です。

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.

Hannah and Hayden were amazing! They picked fruit for us to try (which made the trip even better!), showed us a cave that we were able to look into, let us feed the cows and were just good people to talk with. The property is beautiful…especially from the top while eating a delicious dinner. We would 100% go back and do it again.

Would recommend this to anyone the crew is outstanding the water was amazing. Beer was ice cold!!

we were so satisfied with everything from the food and to the show! customer service was great when booking and the show was super entertaining!

This was a lovely experience. The jazz singer was incredibly fun and talented. The food was excellent. The servers (Collin and Rob) were incredibly kind and attentive. The sunset was stunning. Finally, the Polynesian show was lovely and a great way to end the night. I would come again.

サンセットを逃さないちょうど良い時間、完璧なタイミングで運ばれてくるお料理、楽しいショータイム、このお値段で盛りだくさんの納得の内容でした。
特にカニが美味しかったですし、全体の量も十分でした。
デッキからはワイキキの夕景や空港から飛び立つ飛行機が見えてとても綺麗です。
ただ、満席だった場合は隣の人と肩や肘がぶつかるくらいの距離感で仕切りのアクリル板などは無いので、そういうのが気になる方はご注意を。
