All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Although it wasn't overly expensive, the restaurant had a luxurious appearance, and the dishes that were served were thoughtful and delicious.

By the way, the menu included:
Appetizer: Seasonal small chilled soup, salad with papaya from Ka'u, tomato, burrata cheese, and San Daniele prosciutto
Pasta: Pomodoro with ripe tomatoes from Hawaii, served with fresh basil and handmade fettuccine
Main: Grilled prime beef tenderloin with a variety of seasonal vegetables and balsamic sauce
Dessert: Small tiramisu & Italian gelato
Coffee

Each dish was elegantly portioned, but I was more than satisfied.

とっても高いというわけではないのに店構えは高級で、出てくるお料理も気が利いていて、おいしかったです。
ちなみにメニューは、
前菜：季節の小さな冷製スープ、カフク産パパイア、トマト、ブラータチーズ、サンダニエーレ産生ハムのサラダ仕立て
パスタ：ハワイ産完熟トマトのポモドーロ　フレッシュバジルと共に　生パスタフェットチーネ
メイン：プライム牛フィレ肉のグリル　季節の色とりどりのお野菜と共に　バルサミコソース
デザート：小さなティラミス＆イタリアンジェラート
コーヒー
という感じでした。
ひとつひとつは上品な量でしたが、じゅうぶんおなかいっぱいになりました。

It was worth the money.
Loved the food and the performance
Just awesome

I had to change my plans at the last minute and registered on the morning of the event, but I received a confirmation email by early afternoon. I arrived on time, and the check-in and drink service went smoothly. However, there were many participants, and since the buffet was organized by table, the guidance came later, so there wasn't much time to enjoy the meal leisurely. My sons, who are always hungry, seemed to want to eat a bit more. During the meal, we were treated to a hula performance set to music. The show moved to a different venue and was a fusion of traditional Hawaiian elements and rock music. The quality of the performers was impressive; they really embodied their characters, which made it all the more entertaining.

急遽、予定が変更になり、当日の朝に申し込みましたが、お昼過ぎには確定メールが届きました。
時間通りに到着し、チェックイン→ドリンクまではスムーズでしたが、参加者が多く、ブッフェはテーブル毎だったので、案内が後半だったので、ゆっくり食事を楽しむ時間はあまりありませんでした。
食べ盛りの息子たちは、もう少し食べたかったみたいです。
食事中は、歌に合わせたフラを見せて頂きました。
ショーは、別会場へ移動し、ハワイの伝統的なものとロックの融合でした。
歌い手の方のクオリティーは。。ご本人方のなりきり度が高く、そこがまた面白かったです。

The tour guides were really great and I appreciated their help. However, the wind was strong, making it very difficult to go out to sea with the kayaks, so the little ones had to settle for just the river.

ツアーの担当の方々は本当に良くしてくれて良かったです。ただ、風が強く、海にカヤックで出るのは非常に厳しかったので、小さい子たちは川の方だけで我慢しました。

My wife and I attended together.
First, we entered through the VIP entrance and took a commemorative photo with an Elvis Presley impersonator.
We received a welcome drink (alcohol) and enjoyed appetizers like fruits, nuts, and prosciutto while waiting for the venue to open.
After the doors opened, we savored dinner at a table in front of the stage. We had a voucher for one alcoholic drink, so we ordered a cocktail.
I thought there would be quite a bit of food, but it was just enough to fill us up. The lobster was delicious, and both the meat and salmon were tasty as well. There were also desserts and coffee.
The show included Hawaiian dances, impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and even a fire dance, which left us very satisfied. Being seated right in front of the stage made it a fantastic experience.
The photo we took at the beginning can be purchased for $25, and after the show, the Elvis impersonator himself signed it for us.
When we left the venue, we were able to take commemorative photos with the singers and the Hawaiian dancers who performed in the show, creating wonderful memories.

妻と2人で参加してきました。
まずはVIP入口から入って、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんと記念撮影。
ウェルカムドリンク(アルコール)を受け取り、フルーツやナッツや生ハムなどの前菜を食べつつ、開場を待ちます。
開場後、ステージ前の席でディナーを堪能。アルコール1杯をオーダーできる券を貰ってたので、それでカクテルを注文。
料理は結構多いかと思いましたが、ちょうどお腹一杯になるくらいでした。ロブスターはもちろん美味しかったですし、お肉もサーモンも美味でした。デザートとコーヒーもあります。
ショーはハワイアンなダンスから、エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんショー、ファイアーダンスもあって大満足。ステージ目の前の席なのでバッチリ楽しめます。
最初に記念撮影した写真は25ドルで買えますし、終了後にプレスリーそっくりさん本人が最後にサインもしてくれます。
会場から出ると、ショーに出てた歌手の人やハワイアンダンス踊ってた人たちと自分のカメラで記念撮影までさせてくれて、いい思い出になりました。

The show is easily visible from any seat. The costumes changed frequently, which was enjoyable to watch, and I'm glad I participated.

ショーがどの席からもよく見えます。
衣装もどんどん変わり、みていて楽しかったし
参加してよかったです

It's a famous restaurant featured in every magazine. Every dish that came out was delicious! The wine was also great. It's a place I definitely want to visit again.

どの雑誌にも出てくる名店です。出てくる料理、すべて美味しかった！ワインもすすみました。また行きたいと思えるお店です。

The wind was strong, so kayaking was difficult, but overall, it was fun! I want to try it again!

風が強かったので、カヤックが難しかったですが、全体通しては、楽しかったです〜
また、やってみたいです‼️

I had cocktails and juice for drinks. Additional orders are charged.
The variety at the buffet is limited.
The salad, huli huli chicken, and dessert were delicious. The white fish and roast beef were average.
There was also a whole roasted pig, which they cut right in front of us.

The show featured impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and they were great at singing and dancing, which was entertaining. I was also soothed by the Hawaiian music.
The hula dance and fire dance were very impressive. I want to see it again when I come back to Hawaii!

ドリンクはカクテルとジュースを頂きました。追加は有料なります。
ビュッフェの種類は少ないです
サラダとフリフリチキンとデザートは美味しかったです。その他白身魚やローストビーフは普通でした。
豚の丸焼きもありました、目の前でカットしてくれました。

ショーはプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンがそっくりで歌や踊りも上手で面白かったです。ハワイアンミュージックにも癒されました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは迫力満点でした。またハワイに来たときは観に行きたいです！

The location has only a small sign, so I think most people will miss it. Even if you ask at the front desk, they might respond with "What is that?" as none of the other staff seem to know about it either. The show itself was average and felt like just another Hawaiian show that you could see somewhere else. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

場所は小さな看板しか無くまず殆どの人が見逃すと思います。フロントで場所を聞いても、それって何？と言うか他のスタッフも皆さん知らないあり様です。ショー自体も普通で何処かで見ショー内容と言うかほぼ同じハワイアンショーですね。残念ですが次は無いです。

I participated in this tour for the first time in seven years. The members were the same as seven years ago, so it was fun to see people who had changed in appearance and those who hadn’t changed at all.

Now, the guide who picked us up in the morning spoke suspicious Japanese, and during the car ride, he explained everything in English without any warnings, and we arrived at the destination. Even there, the explanations were in English, and just when I was wondering about it, he finally explained in Japanese, which relieved my whole family.

At the local boat, they provided proper assistance in Japanese. What was wonderful was that we had about an hour for sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, so even my wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling with a life jacket and float. Perhaps we looked like we were having too much fun, as my parents in their 70s decided to try snorkeling for the first time! However, they needed help right away ( ;∀; ). They said they were still okay, but I think it was a nice decision to get assistance.

For lunch, we had hamburgers, which were very delicious, and I wanted a second helping. Also, the crew here was very cheerful and lifted our spirits with their "Aloha!" greetings. The guide who picked us up in the morning played the guitar and sang during lunchtime, which seemed to be part of his job. Overall, it was a great experience. I would like to participate again when my daughter is able to snorkel.

このツアーに７年ぶりに参加しました。
メンバーも７年前と変わらないメンバーでしたので、見た目が変わった人やまったく変わらない人など楽しかったです。
さて、今回も朝迎えに来たガイドさんが、あやしい日本語、車内では、英語で全部説明、何の注意点もなく、現地へ到着しました。現地でも英語での説明で、あれ？と思っていたところ、やっと日本語で説明して頂いたので、家族全員ほっと一安心。
現地の船では日本語できちんと対応してもらいました。すばらしいのは、サンドバーとカメウォッチ、さらにはシュノーケルが１Ｈぐらいあったので、泳げない嫁でも、ライフジャケットと浮棒？でとても楽しくシュノーケルをしていました。今回あまりに私たち夫婦が楽しそうにみえたのか？、７０代の両親がシュノーケリングに初挑戦！！したところ・・・すぐにヘルプで助けられました( ;∀;)
本人曰くまだまだ大丈夫だったはずと言っていますが、やっぱり助けて頂いたのはナイス判断だったと思います。
ランチは、ハンバーガーでしたがとてもおいしく、おかわりがほしいくらいでした。また、ここのクルーはとても陽気でアローーーーーーーハァーのあいさつで気分を楽しくしてくれました。朝迎えに来たガイドは、ランチタイムに、ギターを弾いて歌っていましたが、結局それが仕事みたいでした。全体的にとても良かったです。娘がシュノーケリングできるようになったらまた参加したいと思いました。

It was an immersive tour that allowed us to fully enjoy the great nature of Kualoa. There was no wasted time, and we were able to see all the highlights. However, it was stated that long pants were absolutely necessary, but they weren't needed at all (they might be required for horseback riding). Additionally, a buffet-style lunch was included, but honestly, it wasn't very tasty. I think it's better to bring some light snacks to eat. There are plenty of spots for taking photos, but for the jungle tour, the left side of the front seats is the best for taking pictures!

クアロアの大自然を満喫できる濃密なツアーでした。時間に無駄がなく、見どころを見れます。ただ、長ズボンが必ず必要と書いてありましたが、まったく必要ありませんでした。（乗馬には必要かも）また、ビュッフェスタイルの昼食がついていましたが、正直美味しくありません。スナックなど軽く食べれるものを持っていった方が良いかと思います。写真を撮るところもいっぱいありますが、ジャングルツアーの座席は前の方の左側が写真撮りやすいです！

Everything was amazing.
I want to go to the sandbar again.

I was also surprised by the high quality of the hamburgers. Both the taste and the portion size were perfect.
It was great to have a wide variety of drinks as well.

Everything was good, but the instruction on how to use the snorkel really stood out. I felt like I was having fun for the first time with snorkeling! I was able to swim with many fish.

I had my kids with me, and there were preparations like children's goggles and life jackets, so the kids enjoyed it too.

It was a really great tour. I highly recommend it.

全てが最高でした。
サンドバーまた行きたいなって思いました。

ハンバーガーのクオリティの高さにも驚きました。味、ボリュームどちらも満点です。
飲み物も種類たくさんで良かったです。

全て良かったのですが、シュノーケルの扱い方を教えて頂いたのがポイントアップです。シュノーケルが初めて楽しい！って思えました。たくさんの魚と一緒に泳げました。

子供連れでしたが、子供用のゴーグル、ライフジャケットなど準備があり子供も楽しめました。

すごく良いツアーでした。オススメです。

A fantastic kayaking experience with great service! I had a lot of fun! Also, the leisurely pace of the tour around Flat Island was very pleasant, and I would love to request Tomo again! Thank you very much!

サービス精神満点のカヤックの波乗り体験！かなり楽しかったです！あと、フラットアイランドのゆったりペースの案内もとても気持ちよく、またともさんにお願いしたいです！
ありがとうございました！

There are many similar tours, and I was a bit confused during the pickup. Since there are few staff members who can speak Japanese, it might be tough if you can't speak at all.

The show itself was enjoyable, but there were some experiences that were not available on the day.

似たようなツアーが多く、ピックアップ時に少し迷った。
日本語を対応できるスタッフが少ない、もしくはいないため多少なりと喋れないと辛いかもしれない。

ショー自体は楽しかったが、体験できるものが当日ないものもあった。

It was authentic Italian cuisine and very delicious. The pasta, of course, as well as the appetizers, meat, and desserts were all excellent. It's not a particularly formal restaurant, but both the taste and portion sizes are very refined. There is none of the typical American oversized portions. I definitely want to go back. However, since it's a popular place, reservations are a must. I could only make a reservation for a rather late time, but it was still worth having dinner at this restaurant.

本格的イタリアンで、とても美味しかったです。パスタはもちろん、前菜からお肉、スイーツまで最高でした。さほどかしこまったお店ではないですが、味もボリュームもとても上品です。アメリカ特有の大味大量感はありません。また行きたいお店です。ただし、人気店なので予約必須です。自分もかなり遅い時間の予約しかできませんでしたが、それでもこのお店でディナーする価値はあります。

This was my second time participating. I had made a reservation for Christmas, which thankfully was still being held, but it was canceled due to bad weather. Fortunately, I was able to adjust to another day and participate.

The boat had changed since my last visit, and it had been upgraded in various ways! Unlike Mikurajima, it was disappointing that diving was prohibited where the dolphins were, so we could only watch from above, but I was glad to see them multiple times.

Since it was a busy season, there were many participants, and I noticed several people getting bruised from bumping into each other while swimming. There were also quite a few people feeling seasick. Taking precautions is important.

It was disappointing that I couldn't see any turtles while snorkeling this time, but the crew was great at keeping the energy up, and the hula was wonderful, so it was definitely worth participating!

2回目の参加でした。
クリスマスもありがたいことに催行されていたので予約していたのですが悪天候のためキャンセルになりました。運良く別の日に調整できて参加できました。

前回から船も変わっていて、色々とパワーアップしていました！
御蔵島と違い、イルカがいるところでは潜るのが禁止だったので上から見るだけなのが残念でしたが、何度も見られたので良かったです。
繁忙期なので参加者が多く、一緒に泳ぐのでぶつかってあざになっている方が多く見られました。あと船酔いしてる方も多々見られました。対策は重要です。

今回はシュノーケリングで亀が見られなかったのが残念でしたが、クルーのかたが盛り上げ上手で、フラも素敵でしたし、参加した甲斐ありました！

It was hard to get up in the morning while traveling, but thanks to that, I was able to spend a fulfilling morning.

The scenery was amazing.

Unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, two adorable dolphins swam alongside our boat for a while, which was very soothing.

Important note!! Many people suffered from seasickness. It's essential to take motion sickness medication from places like ABC Mart beforehand.

We also took the motion sickness medication we got from ABC Mart as soon as we woke up, and we had no problems at all. Oh, I felt a little nauseous on the way back, though.

The staff were incredibly cute and enthusiastic!!

Even if you can't meet the dolphins, you can still have a great time.

朝なかなか起きられない旅先ですが、おかげさまで、充実の午前中を過ごすことができました。

景色最高。

イルカは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐ事は出来ませんでした。ただし、かわいらしい二頭が、その後
船にずっと付き添って泳いでいてくれ、和みました。

重要事項!!　多くの方が船酔いで、苦しんでいました。
ABCマートなどで、必ず酔い止めを飲んでおくことが大切です。

私たちもABCマートで求めた酔い止めを、起床とともにともに飲み、全く問題なく過ごすことができました。
あ、帰り際には少しだけ気持ち悪くなりましたが。

スタッフの方々の可愛さと盛り上げが最高です!!

もしイルカに会えなくても、充分に楽しめます

The guide was very kind, and they took a lot of wonderful photos at the sandbar. I was also able to see many sea turtles.

案内の人がすごく親切で、さんどばーで素敵な写真いっぱい撮ってくれました。ウミガメにもたくさん会うことが出来ました。

I was very satisfied with both the entertainment and the food. The meals were delicious and just the right amount. Additionally, we were seated close to the stage, which made a big difference in the experience. Everyone was truly moved.

I was also touched that each of us received a bouquet. Thank you very much for that. The fire dance was spectacular. Finally, I took a photo and shook hands with a handsome and kind person. I look forward to seeing him again.

It can only be described as amazing. I encourage everyone to experience this emotion as well. After it ended, we couldn't stop talking about it.

エンターメントも食事も大満足です。
食事も美味しく適度で非常によかったです。また舞台の近くの席だったので迫力が違いました。とっても皆で感動しました。
また、１人１人にブーケをかけて頂き感激しました。本当にありがとうございます。
ファイヤダンスも圧巻です。最後に、写真をとって握手して頂きましたが、男前で優しい人でした。また、会えるのを楽しみにしています。
凄いの一言につきますね。皆様もこの感動を味わってみて下さいね。終わった後、話がつきませんよ。

It was truly a fusion of entertainment. The seats were close to the stage, and everyone was really excited. The performers came down from the stage and personally gave each of us a bouquet of flowers, which was thrilling. The highlight was the fire dance; it was simply amazing. The food was just the right amount and delicious. We ordered a lot of drinks, but they were inexpensive, so we enjoyed the cocktails as well! It was really the best!

正に、融合的なエンターメントですね。
席が舞台に近く、皆んな大盛り上がりでした。
舞台から降りて来て、１人１人、花のブーケをかけてくださり盛り上がってしまいました。
圧巻は、ファイヤーダンスですね。これは凄いの一言です。
食事は、丁度良い量です。美味しいですね。
飲み物を沢山注文しましたが、安かったのでカクテルもグイグイと！
本当に、最高！

There were plenty of fish while snorkeling, and we also played beach volleyball. The weather that day wasn't very good, but I had a great time! The staff were all very kind, and I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

シュノーケルもお魚がいっぱいいたり
ビーチバレーもしました。
その日天気はあまり良くなかったのですが
すごく楽しめました！
スタッフも優しい方ばかりでまた機会があったら参加したいと思います。

I participated because of the good reviews. The experience met my expectations, and I was very satisfied with both the food and the show! The food was plentiful, and the fire dance was impressive and breathtaking.
The venue is in an easy-to-find location, so even for us who are not familiar with Hawaii, we were able to arrive without getting lost.
The impersonation lineup is classic, making it enjoyable even for us in our 60s.
At the end, we had the opportunity to take commemorative photos with the performers, which created great memories. I would like to participate again with my whole family next time.

口コミが良かったので参加しました。期待通りの内容で、ご飯もショーも大満足です！料理はボリュームがあり、ファイヤーダンスは迫力があって圧巻でした。
会場はわかりやすい場所にあるので、ハワイに不慣れな私たちでも、迷わず到着することがでにました。
モノマネラインナップは王道なので、60代の私たちでも楽しめる内容です。
最後は出演者の方との記念撮影も可能なので、思い出にもなりました。今度は家族みんなで参加したいと思います。

I definitely wanted to see hula dancing when I came to Hawaii! I compared various shows based on their programs. Many people told me that these kinds of shows aren't worth seeing, but this one was just as amazing as I imagined. Everyone finished their meals before the show too!

やっぱり、ハワイに来たらフラダンスはみたい！と思い色々なショーをプログラムを元に比較。色々な人にこの手のショーはみる価値ない。と言われたけど、ここはイメージ通り最高でした。ショーの前の食事もみんな完食してましたよ！

I chose the best seats, but there wasn't much of a sense of value. You can see from all four sides in a similar way. Two drinks are included, but that's about it. When it comes to going for a meal, groups with children are prioritized, so it didn't matter how good the seats were.

一番良い席にしましたが、あまりお得感がありません。
四方どこからでも同じような感じで見られます。
ドリンクが２杯付いてきますが、そのくらいです。
食事をとりに行くのも子供がいるグループが優先で、席が良くても関係ありませんでした。

The stage was close, and I felt the excitement and energy intensely, which was moving. Also, I felt that the fire dance had the most amazing technique I've ever seen.

ステージが近く、迫力とともに、ビンビンと熱気が伝わり、感動をしました。また、ファイヤダンスは、今までの中で一番凄いテクニックを持っていると感じました。

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

What an amazing day, full of many unique experiences and very friendly staff.

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.

The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.

The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

I will be recommending this experience to my family and friends.

Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!

I participated with my husband, who turned 60. I was worried about the weather the day before, but we were lucky to have clear skies! In the morning, we cycled to Lanikai Beach and were amazed by the blue ocean! For lunch, we had a large pizza and loco moco, which were both delicious.

It was my first experience kayaking, but thanks to the advice from the staff member Tomoki, we were able to get on the kayak and start our journey to the island. At first, our paddling was a bit awkward as we weren't in sync, but we gradually improved. We managed to reach the island while laughing and having fun together. The view from the island was fantastic! The walk around the island while listening to Tomoki's explanations was also very enjoyable. On the way back, we were pushed by the waves and quickly arrived at Kailua Beach. The best part was that we made it without capsizing. This became one of our wonderful memories of Hawaii. Next time, I want to bring my son and grandchildren along.

However, one downside was that while it was easy to leave the kayaks on the beach, pulling them back was hard work on the return trip (but it was better than having to pull them both ways). Thank you for your help!

還暦を迎えた主人と参加しました。前日からお天気を心配してましたが運が良く☀️見えて良かったです。午前中はサイクリングでラニカイビーチまで足を運び 青い海に感激！ランチは大きいピザとロコモコをいただきました。とっても美味しかったです。
カヤックは初めての体験でしたがスタッフの トモキさんのアドバイスもあり、島に向けて無事カヤックに乗りスタートできました。最初は二人の息が合わなくて ぎこちないパドリングも少しずつ良くなり ました。二人で面白おかしく 笑いながら 何とか島にたどり着くことができました。島から一望できる景色は最高！島一周の散策もトモキさんの説明を聞きながらとても楽しかったです。帰りは行きより早く 波に押されてあっという間にカイルアビーチに到着です。なんと言っても転覆せずに到着出来たのが良かったです。ハワイの楽しい思い出の一つになりました。今度は息子や孫を連れて参加したいと思います。
ただ一つだけ 行きはカヤックがビーチに置いてあったので楽だったのですが帰りは引いて帰るのが重労働で大変でした。（往復引くよりは良かったですけど）
お世話になりました！
