Regarding the sandbar, the tides are important, so I think you'll have a great time if you consider that when booking a tour. On the day we went, the water level was just about knee-deep, so the white sandy beach was visible and it was really beautiful!
サンドバーに関しては、潮の満ち干が重要なので、それを考慮してツアーを申し込むと、とても楽しめると思います。私たちが利用した日は、海面が丁度膝下くらいの高さだったので、白い砂浜が見えてすごくきれいでした!

We participated in a sandbar tour for the first time as a family of three. It was the only day of our trip that it rained all day. Despite the unfortunate weather, the staff communicated in Japanese and made us feel at ease. The water level at the sandbar was about waist-deep, but we had a great time playing volleyball and other activities. We also encountered sea turtles and manta rays. The BBQ cheeseburger for lunch was even better than we expected! There were seconds available, but one was filling enough. Drinks like cola and iced tea were free. On the way back, we experienced some engine trouble with the boat, but we were towed back safely by a helper boat. The staff explained the issues thoroughly, so we were able to enjoy the experience without any worries.
家族3人で初めてのサンドバーツアー参加でした。
今回の旅行で唯一の終日”雨”。。。
生憎の天気の中、スタッフも日本語を駆使し、なごませていただきました。
サンドバーの水位は股下程度ほどでしたが、バレーボール等で楽しく過ごせました。
そして、ウミガメ&マンタにも遭遇することができました。
ランチのBBQチーズバーガーは予想以上においしかった!!
お代わりありましたが、一つで満腹なサイズです。
ドリンクもコーラ、アイスティーなど、フリーでした。
帰りに船のエンジントラブルがありましたが、助っ人の船で牽引して
無事帰港できました。
トラブルも丁寧に説明していただき、全く不安なく過ごすことができました。

This is my fifth time in Waikiki, and last year, I learned about Rock-a-Hula through a friend's recommendation. My family of four enjoyed the show from the stage-side VIP seats, and I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so this year, my wife and I came back again.
The VIP dinner, cocktails, and show began with a welcome hula at the VIP entrance, followed by a welcome reception. For dinner, we had lobster with rainbow salad, natural Alaska salmon, and tenderloin beef at the front row seats. For dessert, we enjoyed pineapple delight, and we ordered beer and wine. To finish off, I had Kona blend coffee while my wife had tea, making for a plentiful dinner.
The performances featuring Elvis, Michael Jackson, and the fire show were incredibly impressive, rivaling those in Las Vegas, all taking place at the Royal Hawaiian Center. The show was even more powerful than a year ago, blending rock and Hawaiian music in a thrilling and emotional performance that left us in awe.
After the show, we had the opportunity to take photos with the performers, and we spent a thoroughly satisfying time from entrance to exit. My wife was completely captivated and is eager to return next year. I highly recommend the VIP seats for the dinner, cocktails, and show at Rock-a-Hula, where you can truly feel one with the stage.

I booked a premium seat. Due to bad weather, the show was indoors, and the seat I was assigned was at the very end of a table among several in front of the stage, facing away from the stage at the back of a long table. It was neither the front row nor the second row as stated in the premium seat plan. There were also some troubles, and I couldn't enjoy it at all. The content of the show and the staff's response were also lacking. I might have had too high expectations just because it was at the Royal Hawaiian. After returning home, I contacted Veltra about the day's events, and they provided a discount refund. Veltra's response was quick and very good, which gave me peace of mind. Next time, I will book another Hawaiian show.
プレミア席で申し込みました。
天候が悪く屋内でのショーで、案内された席は、ステージ前に何列かあるテーブルのうち一番端のテーブルで、長テーブルの一番後ろのステージに背を向けた席でした。
プレミア席プランに記載されている最前列でも2列目でもありませんでした。
トラブルもあり全然楽しめませんでした。
ショーの内容もスタッフ対応もいまいちです。
ロイヤルハワイアンだからと期待しすぎていたのかもしれません。
帰国後、当日の内容をVeltraへ連絡したら料金の値引き返金をしてもらえました。
Veltraの対応は迅速でとてもよく、安心できました。

When inexperienced riders go horseback riding in Japan, there are often people pulling the reins beside them, but here, the ranch staff leads the way on horseback, forming a line and taking about 1.5 hours to tour the ranch. There were many amusing incidents, such as the horses bumping into each other, starting to eat grass, and needing to relieve themselves, which made it enjoyable. Among the six customers, we were the only Japanese.

I participated with my mother and daughter. This was the second time for my mother and daughter at the sandbar, and since the water level was up to my mother's chest last time, it seemed scary for them, so we booked a course that matched the low tide.
Thanks to that, the water level was below our knees, and the weather was great, allowing us to have a wonderful time.
We also got to see sea turtles and enjoyed snorkeling around the coral with my daughter.
The tour staff were very friendly and took photos for us. If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

I really wanted to see an Elvis show while staying in Hawaii. I googled Elvis shows and this one had excellent ratings. We booked the Luau Buffet and show. When we got there we were taken to our seats. Everyone was really nice. They start everyone with a Mai Tai that was really good. We then started the buffet line. The food was great quality & really good. My husband & I enjoyed it very much. During dinner there was a little hula show. It was very fun to watch our server dancing! She was great! After dinner we were escorted to the theater. I was very surprised by the venue. It didn’t seem like it was very big from the outside but once we got in I was pleasantly surprised!! The show was absolutely amazing!! Each performer was outstanding. Every detail about the show was right on point; the band, the dancers, the choreography, the costumes, the singers and the impersonators!! I really enjoyed it! We loved that they also have a meet & greet after the show. I would recommend this show 100%!!

I checked the low tide times during my stay and chose a day when the tour coincided with low tide. Unfortunately, it was a day with a low tide of 0.9 feet, so the water was only knee-deep, but there were no waves, and both my elementary school-aged children and my one-year-old had plenty of fun playing. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved! My one-year-old daughter and I waited on the boat during snorkeling, but the staff supported my son. The hamburgers on the boat were delicious, and our cheerful guide was the best! It was a very satisfying day!

This was my first time, and my partner had participated about ten years ago. We arrived early but were allowed into the venue. First, we headed to the buffet area. It felt like the Japanese attendees were gathered at the back of the line.
The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen as alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It was pleasantly sweet and delicious. Next, the whole roasted pig was brought out, which really raised the excitement.
We lined up to get our food, but we had to wait quite a bit. It felt very American in that regard. In Japan, staff would guide you based on how quickly the line was moving, and you wouldn't have to wait in line holding heavy plates. But here in sunny Hawaii, you shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
The food included vegetable salad, macaroni salad, glass noodle salad, marinated tomatoes and salmon, teriyaki chicken, white fish curry, and the whole roasted pig, among a few other dishes. Everything was decent, but I particularly enjoyed the white fish curry.
As we continued eating, desserts were served: rainbow sherbet, chocolate cake, and cookies. There was also coffee and tea. I only had the chocolate cake, but I thought it was not too sweet for Hawaii and quite tasty. The coffee was Kona coffee, which I enjoyed with the cake.
During the meal, there was live ukulele music and singing. The staff, dressed in hula costumes, created a great atmosphere! There are plans with and without meals, but the difference is about $30. If you're purely considering the food, you might think the no-meal option is fine, but if you factor in the atmosphere and the excitement of the show, I think the meal option is better.
However, the dining area is under a tent. If it rains, it could really dampen the mood. Rain might come in from the sides, and it could be hard to hear the live performance. I've heard that Hawaii has been experiencing more rain lately due to weather changes, so it’s a matter of luck.
After the meal, we moved to the show venue.
At the entrance, there was the usual photo opportunity. You can purchase the photos on your way out, but we were in a hurry to find a restroom due to the alcohol, so we didn’t buy any. I’m not sure how much they cost.
We took a photo with an Elvis impersonator and then headed to our seats. The first floor was occupied by those who had the most expensive meal plan. We were seated on the second floor. The middle seats would have been ideal, but they seat you in the order you enter, so it’s a matter of luck. We ended up in the middle of the third row. There was a good step up, so we didn’t have to worry about the heads in front of us.
Finally, the show began. There were screens on both sides and at the back, and the performance started with hula dances and costumes from different eras, accompanied by old footage of Hawaii. It felt like there was a history to both Hawaii and hula! The music, costumes, and dances changed with the eras, revealing a history I was completely unaware of, which was a bit moving.
The show transitioned from the Elvis era to a mix of Elvis and hula, then to Michael Jackson. A female singer also appeared, and rather than an impersonator, she seemed to be a Hawaiian music singer. I was overwhelmed by her singing ability.
Since I’m not from the Elvis generation, I can’t say how similar she was. The same goes for Michael Jackson; I knew the songs, but I’m not sure about the impersonation. For those who know dance, the quality would be evident, but as an amateur, I enjoyed it. Both performances were well integrated with video footage of the original artists, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
I had given up on seeing fire dancing indoors, but there it was! Seeing fire live is truly impressive. The hula costumes changed frequently, and the singing was satisfying, making the time fly by.
Initially, I had heard it was an impersonation show, so I honestly didn’t have high expectations, but I got to learn about the history of hula, experienced a fusion with Elv
私は初めてで相方は10年ほど前に参加経験ありです。
集合時間より早くに着きましたが会場に入れました。まずはビュッフェ会場です。日本人は各々の後尾に集められた感あります。
ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールとノンアルが選べます。程よい甘さで美味しかった。
次に豚の丸焼き登場でテンション上がります。
順番に並んでお料理を頂くのですが、結構並んで待ちました。そこはアメリカンな対応だなって。日本だったら進み具合を見ながらスタッフが誘導し、重い皿を持ったまま並ぶことにはならないでしょうね。でもここは常夏ハワイ。細かいことは気にしたらダメです。
お料理は野菜サラダ、マカロニサラダ、春雨サラダ、トマトとサーモンのマリネ、照り焼きチキン、白身のカレー風、豚の丸焼きとあと数品あったと思います。どれもまあまあですが、私は白身のカレームニエルが美味しかったです。
食事が進むとスウィーツが登場します。レインボーシャーベット、チョコケーキ、クッキーです。あとコーヒーと紅茶もありました。私はチョコケーキだけ食べましたが、ハワイの割にそんなに甘くなく美味しいと思いました。コーヒーもコナコーヒーでケーキと一緒に頂きました。
食事中ウクレレの生演奏と生歌。スタッフがフラの衣装で雰囲気は十分!
食事ありとナシのプランがありますがその差30ドルくらい。純粋に食事だけ考えるとナシでもいいかなって思えますが、雰囲気とショーへのテンションも考えるなら食事ありの方がいいと思いました。
ただ食事会場はテント下です。もしスコールがあったらテンションだだ落ちでしょう。横から雨が降り込んだり、生演奏が聞こえにくかったりしそう。最近のハワイは気象の変化で雨が多いらしいので、これは運でしょうね。
食後はショー会場へ移動します。
入り口でありがちな写真撮影です。帰りに購入することになるのでしょうけど、私たちはアルコールのおかげでトイレに急いでたので購入せずです。いくらかもわかりません。
プレスリーのそっくりさん(?)と写真を撮って客席に行きます。1階では一番お値段の上のコースの方たちが食事中でした。私たちは2階席です。真ん中の席が良いでしょうが、入った順番に座らせられるのでこれも運です。私たちはちょうど3列目の真ん中でした。しっかり段差があるので前の方の頭は気になりません。

両サイドと正面奥にスクリーンがあり、昔のハワイの映像とともにその年代であろう衣装とフラのダンスが始まりました。
ハワイの歴史とフラにも歴史あり!って感じで年代によって音楽や衣装、ダンスにも変化がありました。全然知らなかった歴史が垣間見えて少し感動しました。
プレスリーの年代からプレスリーとフラのショーでマイケルジャクソンと移っていきます。女性シンガーも登場しますが、その方はモノマネというよりハワイアンミュージックのシンガーなのでしょう。歌唱力に圧倒されました。
プレスリー世代ではないので似てるかはわかりません。マイケルジャクソンも微妙ですが歌は知ってました。ダンスは見る人が見たらクオリティが分かるでしょうが、素人の私は楽しめる程度でした。どちらもスクリーンに本人の映像とコラボしてて雰囲気はバッチリでした。
室内なので諦めてたファイアダンスもありました。やっぱりファイアは生で見ると圧倒されます。
フラの衣装も次々変わっていき、歌も十分聴きごごたえありであっという間に終わってしまいました。
私ははじめモノマネショーと相方に聞いていたので正直期待してなかったのですが、フラの歴史に触れられて、プレスリーやマイケルとも融合し女性シンガーの歌にも圧倒され価値あるエンターテイメントだったと思います。
相方は10年前の記憶があるので昔はもっとマドンナとかもいてて、今回はクオリティが下がったと言ってました。
モノマネショーをメインで思うなら物足りないかもしれませんが、私はポリネシアンショーが好きなので大満足です。ぜひもう一度参加したいですし、お値段以上の価値はあったと思いました。おススメです!

It started with pick up , Cousin Emma and a great big Aloha we traveled to Paradise Cove , when we arrived we got our photo taken , then we were given a compliment Mai Ti . We walked around and watched several events that were happening purchased a few more cocktails . We then were gathered in an ampatheater to watch the pig getting removed, we were then invited to the dinning area where the meal was ready to be served . The meal was simply amazing we had never been to a luau before and this was excellent and now the show , the dancers singers and musicians put on on tremendous show. If you are looking to go to a luau this is the one to go for Aloha !

This cruise was everything we wanted! Check-in was easy, the staff are SUPER friendly, polite and professional. They work hard to make sure you have what you need and that you enjoy yourself. The food was delicious and were generous portions - it is really a dinner; so bring your appetite. There is lots to see and do; everything is timed beautifully from the start of dinner to the most beautiful sunset you will ever see! It was like, did someone order a sunet? And it was served to perfection. The Hilton Fireworks show was nice and Captain Tiger positions the boat just right to take it all in. The Hula dancing was fun and the fire dancer to close out everything was a nice touch against the dark skies. If you are driving come early to get nearby parking on the pier or just take a cab or uber since the cocktails are plentiful and affordable. This was one of our best outings during our Oahu trip! Can't beat the price for all that you get. Aloha....
WOW what a great review, make me want to take the trip LOL. Thank you for taking the time to share you experience we really appreciate it.
Aloha

We had a great morning cruise with Dolphins and You. The local crew (certified life guards and professional entertainers!) were very friendly and full of energy. They explained everything in both English and Japanese since there were quite a large number of Japanese tourists on our 40 person tour. There was music and dancing on the way to the spinner dolphin site. We sat at the back of the boat and enjoyed the sun and sea air; thank goodness we had lots of sunscreen! I wear glasses and there were prescription masks on the boat so I could see everything clearly.
The crew-led Hawaiian chant and orchid offering when we entered the dolphin site brought us good luck. The crew went in the water with us and pointed out several pods of dolphins swimming right by. I wanted to stay with the dolphins longer, but we had another scheduled stop. At the snorkeling site, a sea turtle swam right under our group and there were lots of fish all around. The inflatable water slide, “surfboard” and kayak added to the fun. For lunch we had cheeseburgers on taro buns with bags of chips — very tasty. The crew sang and danced a couple of hulas on the way back; a perfect ending to a great morning!
We drove from our hotel, arrived at the Waianae Boat Harbor early, and were a little concerned when we didn’t see any signs for Dolphins and You. However, a bus with Dolphins and You on the side pulled into the parking lot right where they said to meet at the specified meeting time. Be sure to take Dramamine if you think you might get motion sickness. Several people on the cruise got sick, even though I didn’t think it was very rough. I took a Dramamine before we left on the Dolphins and You cruise and was fine (I had gotten sick on a previous snorkel trip to Molokini off of Maui). Definitely APPLY SUNSCREEN early and often...the sun is very strong on the water.
Aloha Cathy, and mahalo for your 5-star review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your detailed and thoughtful review of our tour! And we're so glad that you appreciated the extra dose of Aloha that is unique to Dolphins and You :).
We could not agree more with your suggestions of Dramamine and sunscreen use. That's the best way to stay comfortable on the water. We also recommend reef-safe sunscreen (which we offer in our office in Waikiki) to protect both your skin AND Hawaii's fragile coral reefs! Thank you again for your review. Please come again some day!

Great food, great service. The only thing I might add is to provide something to crack open the lobster
