All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.

マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。

The staff was very courteous from the bus transportation to the wait staff! Entertainment was enjoyable and the dancers were great and gave an energetic performance. The food was delicious.

The amount of dolphins out during our tour made me feel extra lucky! The west side of Oahu is sure gorgeous

From the amazing staff who fulfilled every moment. To seeing whales, turtles, dolphins and many varieties of fish. Diving off the boat into the ocean. A perfect day to end our vacation in paradise Hawaii.

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time. The hamburgers were also very delicious.

I was able to see sea turtles, and the atmosphere on the boat was nice.

The bus on the way back was delayed, but there was not a single person who was irritated; in fact, the waiting time was enjoyable.

天気にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい時間でした。
ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

ウミガメも見れたし、船の中の雰囲気も良かったです。

帰りのバスの到着が遅れてしまいましたが、イライラする人などは一人もいなくて、待ち時間も楽しかったくらいです。

It might always be like this, but perhaps due to the year-end usage, it was very crowded. The atmosphere was a bit awkward throughout because various groups were mixed at the long table for meals. When seated, the pineapple set on the table gave off a vibe of "please share it among yourselves," which further intensified the awkwardness. The taste of the buffet was just okay. During the meal, cast members performing hula and playing the ukulele came around to each table, but if you're looking for something more substantial, this might not be the place for you. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch a show, which was probably of high quality (the American guests were really excited about the Elvis and MJ impersonations), but it felt more like an impersonation show and lacked the Hawaiian vibe, which was disappointing.

いつもこうなのかもしれないが、年末の利用ということもあったせいかとても混雑していた。食事がロングテーブルに色々なグループが混雑しているため終始少し気まずい空気。着席時にテーブルにセットされてたパイナップルはこの辺りの人で適当に分けてねという感じで気まずい空気に更に拍車が掛かる。肝心のビュッフェの味はまあまあ。食事中にフラ踊るやウクレレ演奏するキャストが各テーブルを回って来るがしっかりとしたものを見たい人はココじゃなくても良いかも。食事の後、シアターに移動して観るショーはクオリティは高いのだろうが（アメリカ人っぽいお客さんはエルヴィスとかMJのモノマネでとても盛り上がっていたので）モノマネショーがメインといった感じでハワイっぽさはあまりないのが残念。

The group was divided into Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It's also good for families with children. The weather was really nice, but the water temperature in December might be cold; you can get in, but it's chilly when you come out. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious! We were able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling, and it was a great experience for my child. Thank you!

日本語と英語でグループが分かれていて説明などは安心
子連れにもGOOD
天気はすごく良かったが12月の水温は冷たいかな、入れないことないが出てから寒い。ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しかった!シュノーケル中に至近距離でウミガメも見えて子供と良い体験ができました、ありがとうございました。

The restaurant at the Outrigger Reef Hotel has a lovely pool. Families are smiling while watching their children play in the pool. It's a wonderfully warm atmosphere with live music, making it a great space for both adults and kids to enjoy. The meals and drinks served in this setting are delightful. I'm really glad I made a reservation!

アウトリガーリーフホテルの素敵なプールにあるレストラン。
周りでは、子供たちをプールで遊ばせてそれを見ながら微笑んでる家族。
なんともほんわかした雰囲気の中、生ライブもあって大人も子供も楽しめるような素敵な空間です。そんな中で食べるお食事や楽しめるお酒など。
ほんと予約して良かったと思います！！

Our family of four enjoyed day out with Capt Bob Sandbar tour. Recommend wearing swim rash guard to help retain body heat.

If you've seen some Polynesian shows, you should definitely check this one out. It's casual and fun!

幾つかのポリネシアンショーを鑑賞された方は、是非鑑賞してみてはいかがでしょうか。カジュアルで楽しいですよ。

I went snorkeling in a coral reef where sea turtles come and go. A sea turtle appeared right in front of me from a hole in the reef, and I was able to swim together with it for a little while. It was an emotional experience.

ウミガメが出入りする珊瑚礁でシノーケリングをしました。珊瑚礁の穴からウミガメが目の前に出て来て少しの間一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。感動しました。

I thought I could take photos like in a guidebook, but the sandbar was underwater! It seems that it's rare for it to be in a guidebook-like condition. However, I had a great time with activities like volleyball, snorkeling, sea turtle watching, and a hamburger lunch on the boat!

ガイドブックのような写真が撮れるかと思っていましたが、サンドバーは海の中でした！
ガイドブックのような状態になるのは、稀らしいです。でもバレーボールやシュノーケリング、ウミガメウオッチ、船上ハンバガーランチなど、大変楽しむ事が出来ました！

Thanks to our tour guide AYC Kanako, it was a very enjoyable tour. I participated because there were many places I was visiting for the first time, and it was really great. I also enjoyed the conversations with our fellow tour guide Billy. Thank you very much. If I have the opportunity, I would like to join other tours as well.

ツアーガイドAYC Kanakoさんのおかげで非常に楽しいツアーとなりました。初めて廻る場所が多かったので参加しましたがとても良かったです。同じツアーガイドのビリーさんとの会話も楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。また機会ありましたら他のツアーにも参加したいと思います。

I was a bit worried about the weather, but since it was covered, a little rain wasn't a problem. I went on an off-road tour with a family member who has difficulty walking, but the guide was very accommodating, which was great.

お天気が少し心配でしたが、屋根付きなので多少の雨であれば問題ありませんでした。足が悪い家族と一緒のオフロードツアーでしたが、ガイドさんにもよくしていただき良かったです。

The guidance to the buffet seating and the distribution of drinks were extremely rough. There was no difference from the VIP experience. If it were like this, only the show would be good.

ビュッフェの席への案内、ドリンクの配布など、極めて粗雑。VIPとの差もなし。
これたったらショーだけが良い。

I had always thought about visiting Kualoa Ranch someday. Since my husband loves Jurassic Park, we chose this tour. It felt like we were going through three short tours in one day. Each segment lasts 90 minutes, almost like a college class! The explanations are in English, but the American jokes are simple enough that you won't be completely lost. We learned about Hawaiian plants, and surprisingly, there were some aspects that felt like a school trip. We even got to crack macadamia nuts ourselves and enjoy fresh ones, making it a tour filled with attractions beyond just visiting movie filming locations. I was very satisfied. However, the time commitment is long, so it might feel like a waste if you're on a short stay. The round-trip bus is extremely cold, so I recommend bringing a thicker jacket or hoodie.

いつかは行ってみようと思っていたクアロアランチ。夫がジュラシックパークが好きなのでこちらのツアーにしました。３つのショートツアーを一日かけて周る感じです。90分1コマなのでまるで大学の授業のよう笑　英語の説明ですが、アメリカンジョークも簡単なものだったりするのでそんなに何を話してるかわからない状態にはなりませんが、ハワイの植物を学んだりと意外と修学旅行チックなツアーもありました。マカダミアナッツを自分で割ってフレッシュなものを食べれたりと、映画のロケ地訪問だけではない魅力が詰まったツアーで大満足でした。ただ、拘束時間が長いので短期滞在だと勿体無いかも。往復のバスは極寒なので厚めの羽織ものやパーカーをお持ちになることをおすすめします。

I watched the Hilton's luau show for the first time in a while. I made a reservation for an event during Christmas in Hawaii after three years. I felt like there weren't many Japanese people there yet. The show had great seating and was wonderful. The food was satisfying for me, especially since I had been lacking vegetables since coming to Hawaii.

ひさびさにヒルトンのルアウショーを観ました。
3年ぶりのハワイでクリスマスに何かイベントをと思って予約しました。
日本人はまだあまりいなかったような気がします。
ショーはお席もよく、素敵なものでした。
お食事もハワイに来て野菜不足だったので、わたし的には満足です

It was excellent service, hula show and music. Food was ok.

At the dockside check-in they were very helpful. I just showed my confirmation email and she gave us out boarding passes. The dockside hula show was good. They had 2 musicians playing and 3 dancers, it wasn't Cirque Du Soleil but if thats what your expecting go to Las Vegas!!

I loved the meal. The purple bread (made with Ube) was good, it tasted like the Kings Hawaiian Rolls! The steaks are cooked medium rare, which I enjoy but was too under cooked for my wife. Even since she didnt eat her steak she still was full with the Crab and Chicken. The ice cream was delicious. The Mai Tai's were on point.

Our server was perfect. Very attentive to our needs, conversational without being annoying. Extremely gracious and appreciative.

I attended with my 4-year-old daughter. The buffet was lavish, and the roast beef was especially delicious. There was also a simple hula lesson, which my daughter really enjoyed!

４歳の娘と参加しました。
ビュッフェも豪華で、ローストビーフが特に美味しかったです。簡単なフラレッスンもあり、娘もとても楽しんでいました！

The dining area and the theater are at the same floor , the 4th floor of the shopping mall building. It is very close to the Waikiki Beach. We can just walk from our hotel, which is very convenient. The buffet has ube bread, salads, fish filet, steamed ube and yam, pastas, BBQ beef and etc. and the amazing food is pork and Traditional Hawaiian Kalua pig. The chef helped to cut the entire pig. The crispy pig skin is really good. I love it. And the coconut pudding is also delicious. And dinner, we watched the show. I thought it’s the show all about traditional Hawaii dance. However, it also has they music of Elvis Aaron Presley and Michael Jackson. The singers are amazing. I love the show, too.

I thought the sandbar was land. However, it is still the sea in shallow waters. You can't go in with your clothes on. You can see sea turtles from a distance. Also, the snorkeling experience is not in a place where you can stand, so it might be tough if you can't swim at all. There are no other stops, but the staff was friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour.

サンドバーは陸地かと思いこんでいました。
が、浅瀬であくまで海です。洋服のままでは行けません。ウミガメは遠目にわかるくらいです。またシュノーケリング体験も足がつく場所ではないので、泳ぎがゼロですと厳しいかもしれません。他にどこに立ち寄るわけでもなく、スタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。

I made a reservation for the first night in Hawaii. No one was wearing masks outdoors. The atmosphere was very Hawaiian, and sitting right in front of the stage, I could feel the waves and enjoy the live Hawaiian music and singing. It truly made me feel like I was in Hawaii! It was also nice that the artists were not young but rather had a certain presence, being a bit older. The food was decent, and the staff was friendly, making it a wonderful experience overall.

ハワイ初日の夜に予約。
マスクは屋外でみなつけてません。
ハワイらしい雰囲気、ステージすぐ前の席で波の音とハワイアンミュージックの生演奏と生の歌声であぁハワイにきたー！という実感がしみじみ。アーティストが若手ではなく貫禄あるややシニアの方々なのもまた良かった。料理もまずまず、スタッフも親切で最高です。

Thank you, Kanako and Kela.
I was truly never bored from start to finish. Your talks were packed with information, and I had a wonderful time throughout.
In the morning, I had malasadas, and for lunch, I enjoyed the garlic shrimp from FUMIS that I had wanted to try for a long time, traditional poi, and local fruits. At the famous spots, I saw Chinaman's Hat and Halona Blowhole, among others...
While swaying on the bus and gazing at the scenery outside, we suddenly stopped. On the sandy beach, there was something that looked like a thick piece of driftwood... Upon closer inspection, I couldn't believe my eyes—there was a Hawaiian monk seal lying there! I often see honu, but to encounter a Hawaiian monk seal was such a stroke of luck. I really felt grateful for participating in this tour.
Finally, we visited Pohaku Lanai. This place is absolutely essential for me for various reasons. I'm truly thankful for the stop here.
This tour was filled with so much content, and your talks were equally rich. I plan to definitely join this tour again next time.
Kanako and Kela, I look forward to seeing you again then.

Kanako and Kelaさん、
ありがとうございました。
最初から最後まで本当に退屈しませんでした。お二人のトークには盛りだくさんの情報がつまっており、終始楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
朝は、マラサダ、昼食は、以前から食べたかったFUMISのガーリックシュリンプ、伝統食のポイや地元の果物屋さん、名所ではチャイナマンズハット、ハロナ潮吹き岩などなど・・・。
暫しバスに揺られながら外の景色を眺めていると突然停車。砂浜には太い流木のような物が・・・。よく見てみると、なっ、なっ、なんとハワイアンモンクシールが横たわっているではありませんか。ホヌはよく見かけるのですが、ハワイアンモンクシールに出会えるとは、なんと幸運なことでしょう。このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。
最後は、ポハクラナイ（Pohaku Lanai）です。ここは私にとっていろいろな意味で絶対外せない場所です。立ち寄っていただき本当に感謝しています。
このようにこのツアーは内容が盛りだくさん、お二人のトークも盛りだくさんでした。次回もこのツアーに絶対参加しようと予定に入れています。
Kanako and Kelaさん、その時にまたお会いしましょう。

Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was great, the views were breathtaking and the entertainment was fun! The pictures were a delight and our neighbors at the next table were nice. Overall, a great experience.

I went on a tour with my three elementary school children, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun experience for the whole family. The kids were initially scared of snorkeling, but once they got used to it, they really enjoyed it.

小学生の子供３人連れでしたが、ガイドの方達はとても親切で家族共々楽しいツアーでした。
シュノーケルは子供達は最初怖がってましたが、慣れたら楽しんでいました。

Excellent performances and Hospitality by the Chief and Family! Loved the excitement and enthusiasm! Buffet was delicious. Souvenirs and photo options were so affordable. Will be bringing my Family back again soon! ALOHA CHIEF AND CREW!!

This was absolutely amazing! So very glad we spent our anniversary on this cruise. The food was outstanding and the staff was wonderful!

Tons of fun! Mahalo to the crew for making this evening filled with fun!

Loved this evening on the water, with the sunset, and delicious food!
