All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

The venue was always lively and great. There were many guests from overseas, and it was full of energy with constant cheering. This is not a show to watch calmly. There were a lot of people, from families with children to elderly couples.

会場は常に盛り上がりよかったです。
海外からのお客さんが多く、常に声を出していて活気がありました。
落ち着いて見るショーではないです。
子連れから、老年夫婦までたくさんの人がいました。

The meal included a salad (ordinary), the main dish of frilly chicken (huge and tender), an ahi poke bowl (deliciously seasoned), today's fish dish (lightly flavored white fish, very tasty), and dessert was ice cream.

The performance was authentic and truly wonderful! I was really impressed by the high level of talent!

However, the seating was a bit disappointing, as it was lined up right next to the stage, and the entrance behind the bar was clearly visible, making it feel less like a resort. Of course, there was no view of the ocean at all.

If I go again, I would like to sit in the area by the pool, which has a much larger space, without making a reservation. On this day, there were quite a few empty seats even after the performance started.

料理は、サラダ（普通）、メインのフリフリチキン（巨大で肉とろける）、アヒポケ・ボウル（味付け美味）、本日の魚料理（白身魚薄味美味）、デザートのアイスでした。
演奏は本格的で本当に良かったです！すごいレベルが高く感動しました！
席がちょっと残念で、ステージの真横にずらっとある感じで、バーの裏方の入り口が丸見えでリゾート？な席ではなく、海はもちろん全く見えずです。
次に行くことがあったら予約はせずプール側のまだ広い空間の方の席に行きたいなと思いました。この日は演奏始まってもかなり席が空いていました。

Every aspect of the luau was wonderful. The ambience, the view, the dinner, the singing, and the dancers!

Highlight of the trip. Great crew and great views.

The highlight of the night was the show, the music, dancing, and storytelling were captivating!

such a fun experience on the west oahu waters, dolphins are so cute and we got some great turtle sightings!

food was good for buffet, and the entertainment was so much fun!!

The show was entertaining and out of the ordinary. You won't find another show like this one on the island! Elvis and MJ both did a great job!

The luau show and the fire show were wonderful. The tattoo experience was also great, and I got a unique flower design. I could choose designs like turtles or tribal patterns for the tattoo. Of course, since it was done with a permanent marker, it faded by the next day.
The food was just okay—neither good nor bad.
I was able to see a beautiful sunset from the venue, and on Friday night, I watched fireworks that were among the best I've ever seen.

ルアウショーも、ファイヤーショーも素敵でした。タトゥー体験も素敵で個性的な花を描いてもらいました。タトゥーは亀とか部族の柄も選べました。もちろん油性マジックなので、次の日には消えました。
食事内容はまあまあです。可もなく不可もなくといった感じ。
会場から素敵な夕日も見れたし、金曜日の夜で花火を見たのですが、人生最高に近い花火でした。

The sea was, of course, beautiful, but this tour was not just about seeing the ocean. The staff really got everyone involved, playing beach volleyball and grilling delicious hamburgers. The service was excellent. Of course, it was in Japanese. I definitely recommend this over just a sightseeing tour.

海はもちろん綺麗だったんですが、このツアーはただ海を見るだけではなくて、スタッフが一緒に盛り上げてくれてビーチバレーをしたり、美味しいハンバーガーを焼いてくれたり、サービス最高でした。もちろん日本語でした。ただ見に行くツアーより断然オススメです。

The show was very good, the food not so much especially for the price. A lot of walking. A long drive from Waikiki in traffic.

Everytime we come to Oahu we book this trip. It never disappoints. The staff always friendly and entertaining while keeping you safe while navigating the boat! Delicious hamburgers bbq’s on the back of the boat. A perfect day every time!

Captain Bobs was amazing! I went with my husband and 2 children! We all had so much fun!

First of all, the support at the meeting place was very polite. Above all, Koa, our guide, made the tour more enjoyable with his extensive knowledge, storytelling, and attentiveness. The content was truly packed with amazing experiences unique to Hawaii, and we were very satisfied with the scenery throughout the day. I don't think we could have had such an experience in just one day on our own. Thank you for your help!

まず集合場所での対応もとても丁寧。そして何よりガイドのKOAさんの豊富な知識と喋りと気配りがtourをより楽しいものにしてくれました
内容は本当に盛り沢山でHawaiiならではの絶品の数々と、その景色に大満足な1日でした
自分達だけでは、絶対に1日でこれだけの体験は出来ないと思います
お世話になり有難うございました

To be honest, I watched the show without much expectation, but it was a very packed show with hula, pop, and fire performances, and I really enjoyed it.

正直、あまり期待せず観覧したショーでしたが、フラからPOP、ファイヤーショーまで、とても盛り沢山なショーで楽しめました

When people hear "sandbar," they might imagine a place where you can walk right across to the land! However, that's not always the case as it depends on the tides. Be sure to check the tide schedule and choose a day with low tide! This time, the shallowest part was about between my ankles and knees, but that was more than enough!

After all, the view is something you can't see anywhere in Japan! And even better, this tour includes delicious freshly grilled patties for hamburgers! You can play at the sandbar, eat hamburgers, watch sea turtles (and sometimes manta rays or dolphins!), and then go snorkeling afterward!

With so much fun packed into this experience, it would be a shame not to participate at least once! This was my third time joining, and I still felt the same excitement!

P.S. I later found out that the guide who explained everything in such a fun and energetic way (and spoke quickly, haha) was a friend of a friend of mine! Thank you!

サンドバー！と聞いてみんながイメージするのは、そのまま歩ける！陸地になってる！！
と言う感じかな！？それは潮の満ち干きなどに影響されるから常にそうなる訳ではない。潮の満ち干きを調べてそれなりに干潮の日を選ぼう！今回は1番浅い所で、足首と膝の間ぐらいだったかな？それでも十分なんです！
だって、見渡す限り日本では見れない景色なんだよ！ そして、更に良いのは、このツアーは、美味しい焼きたてパテのハンバーガーが食べれるってこと！サンドバーで遊んで、ハンバーガー食べて、ウミガメウオッチして(マンタも見れる時もあるし、イルカだって！)、そのあとシュノーケルも出来る！
こんなに楽しい事が詰め込まれてるから一度参加してみないともったいない！
私は今回で3回目の参加ですが、相変わらずの楽しさを感じれました！！

p.s 後で知りましたが、今回の説明などすんごく楽しく(早口でw)、元気にガイドして下さった方は、私の友人の友人でした☺️✨
ありがとうございました！

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.

If you're going to Waikiki, I highly recommend this show, so I made a reservation before my trip. The quality of the dancers was high, and the story about the lei and the engaging service made for a very enjoyable time while feeling the breeze of Waikiki. It was a bit disappointing that the dining area was a bit far away, but there was a wide variety of delicious food to enjoy.

ワイキキに行くのなら是非このショーをと紹介されて、出発前に予約しました。
ダンサーのクオリティが高く、レイについてのストーリーと観客を盛り上げるサービス、ワイキキの風を感じながらとても楽しく良い時間を過ごせました。
食事を取りに行く場所が離れていたのが少し残念でしたが、料理の種類も多く美味しく頂きました。

Food 4/10
Show 10/10

Food can be better. Show is great and you should add the pictures at discounted as part of the deal.

I was finally able to visit Manoa Falls, a long-time dream of mine. I had wanted to go for a while, but my companions often had other places they wanted to visit, or it was difficult to get around since I couldn't drive. This time, by joining a tour with Nature & You, I was finally able to make it happen. The two guides were very kind and I am very grateful. The hike to Manoa Falls was manageable even for someone in their 60s like me, and I enjoyed it comfortably even as a solo participant.

長年の夢が叶ってマノアの滝に行けました。
以前から行ってみたかったのですが、その時々の同行者には他に行きたいところがあったり、車の運転ができないので移動が難しかったりで、なかなか実現することができませんでした。
今回、ネイチャー＆ユーさんのツアーに参加することで、ようやく行くことが出来ました。
ガイドのお二人にはとても親切にしていただきました。感謝感謝です。
マノアの滝へのハイキングは60代の私でも可能でしたし、一人での参加でも快適に愉しめました。

The morning gathering was early, so my 5-year-old child looked sleepy the whole time, but when the dolphins appeared, he was completely absorbed in watching them in the water. I was a bit anxious about managing our valuables, but I was able to take care of them myself at the foot of the boat, so there was really no need to worry. There were times when Japanese speakers were available, so we had no language barriers, and the English staff were friendly, making it a fun experience. I recommend signing up for the photo package (up to 4 people for $79) because you won't need to bring a camera, and they will even take underwater photos for you. It was nice to have a credit card and some cash for tips. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case. Our family, both adults and children, were fine, but I saw a few people who were really struggling with seasickness. Overall, it was a great experience that the kids enjoyed very much.

朝集合が早かったので、5歳の子供は終始眠そうでしたが、イルカが見えると夢中で海の中を見ていました。
貴重品の管理が不安でしたが、船の足元に自分で管理で、特に心配する必要もなかったです。
日本語が話せる方がいる時間帯だったので、言葉面でも不自由なく、英語スタッフの方も気さくで楽しく過ごせました。
フォトパッケージ(4人まで79ドル)を申し込めば、カメラを持っていく必要もなく、水中の写真まで撮ってくれるのでおすすめです。
クレカとチップ分の現金があれば良い感じでした。
酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいたほうがいいかと。
我が家は大人も子供も飲んで平気でしたが、数名凄まじい勢いで戻してる方がいて辛そうでした。
総合的に子供も楽しめ、とても良かったです。

First time in Hawaii for our family. We all enjoyed it, great dancing and music. Lots of energy and laughs from the host.

We had a great time - knowledgeable staff dedicated to safety; beautiful spot for snorkeling and having fun! The lunch was delicious

We thoroughly enjoyed the shows featuring Hawaiian dance, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and more, and my two granddaughters were extremely satisfied! The reason is that Elvis appears in the animated movie "Lilo & Stitch," which is currently very popular among little kids, and there are many of his songs featured in the film. So, my granddaughters, aged 6 and 3, were overjoyed to see someone who looked just like Elvis right in front of them. Of course, the hula dance was also wonderful! This event was great! Thank you very much.

ハワイアンダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン等々のショーを堪能して、孫娘2人は、大満足でした！
　その理由は、今、ちびっ子の間で、大人気のリロ&ステッチのアニメ映画の中に、プレスリーが出ているし、プレスリーの歌う曲が映画の中にいっぱいでているんです。だから、6才と3才の孫たちは、そのプレスリーのそっくりさんが目の前に出てきて、大喜びでした。
勿論、フラダンスも素晴らしかったですよ！本企画、良かったです！ありがとうございました。

The voucher issued states that the check-in location is "Hilton Hawaiian Village - Mid-Pacific Conference Center Rooftop." I heard that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I planned to arrive early and wait on the rooftop for a good seat. However, even after the scheduled time, no reception staff or anyone else showed up, and the local contact number was unreachable as the business hours had ended. In the end, I just had to go down to the venue and check in directly after the scheduled time. Unfortunately, I ended up at the back of the line and couldn't get a good seat, which was very disappointing. The luau show itself was good.

発行されたバウチャーには、チェックイン場所が「ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ - ミッドパシフィック・コンファレンス・センター屋上」となっています。
席は先着順と聞いたため、良い席を取りたいと考え予定の時間より早く屋上に集合して待っていましたが、予定時間を過ぎても受付スタッフも誰も現れず、現地連絡先の電話番号も営業時間が終了しておりつながらず。結局時間を過ぎて会場まで下りて行って直接受付すればよいだけでした。おかげで列の最後の並んでよい席は取れず、大変残念でした。
ルアウショー自体はよかったです。

I didn't have a place or time to change, but it was a very fun day. The dive from the boat was great. It might be good to save some energy for snorkeling.

着替える場所と時間はなかったけど、非常に楽しい1日でした。船からのダイブも良かった。シュノーケルの体力を残しておくといいかな。

We enjoy the show lovely performance. Beautiful people and lovely music.

On July 19th, during our trip to Hawaii, my family and I (a party of 12) attended the Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip.

From the start, the event felt more like a tourist trap than a cultural celebration. The performers wore plastic grass skirts and danced on astroturf, which cheapened the experience and made it feel like a stylized imitation rather than a tribute to Hawaiian tradition.

The buffet was just as underwhelming. The meats were dry and chewy, and several of us left our meals half-eaten. We all ended up searching for food elsewhere after the show.

When purchasing tickets, we noted that they included premier seating for the show—something we specifically chose so the younger members of our group could engage and see the performance clearly. However, we were seated near the back with no explanation. The seating appeared entirely random, and there was no effort to honor the premier designation.

The show itself was bizarre. It was supposedly a journey through Hawaiian music and culture, but the execution was confusing. While we expected an Elvis tribute, it felt like a full concert with song after song. Then came a Michael Jackson impersonator performing Thriller and several other full-length songs. We learned during the show that he once performed at Aloha Stadium, but the connection felt forced and irrelevant. A few of us dozed off, while others sat in disbelief trying to make sense of it.

The performance dragged on far too long. With a tighter runtime and focus on authentic Hawaiian culture, it could have been enjoyable. The fire dancer was the highlight, but came too late to redeem the evening.

Overall, this luau was inauthentic, overpriced, and not worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

The tour wasn't bad, but I was disappointed because the sandbar was "not what I expected‼️" I thought we would be able to land on a sandy beach, but there was none at all... We only stood in shallow water. Even though I could have tolerated water up to my ankles, it was actually deep enough to submerge me to my chest, so it felt like I was dropped into the sea 😭 I wanted to walk on the sandy beach, and to be more specific, I wanted to sit on the beach and eat a hamburger 💧 Eating a hamburger on a crowded boat... 💧 I can't even remember if it was delicious because I was so concerned about my surroundings.

ツアーは悪くは無いのですが、サンドバーが「思ってたんと違う‼️」とガッカリしました。砂の浜に上陸出来ると思っていたけど、砂の浜は皆無で、、、
浅瀬に立っただけでした。浅瀬といっても足首くらいの水なら我慢出来たけど、胸までゆうに浸かる海の中でしたので、海の中に落とされた感じです😭
砂浜で歩きたかったし、もっと言えば砂浜に座ってハンバーガー食べたかった💧
ぎゅうぎゅうづめの船の上でハンバーガー、、、💧周りが気になって美味しかったのかどうかも思い出せませんー

The staff's service is good, and you can enjoy your meal in a pleasant atmosphere. The food itself is delicious.

You can see the ocean, and the view is nice. On Friday nights, you can also see the fireworks from Hilton.

スタッフの対応が良く気分良く食事ができます。
食事自体も美味しい。

海が見え景色も良く、金曜夜はヒルトンの花火も見える。
