If you're tired of slow horseback riding in Kualoa, want to gallop like a cowboy from a Western, or simply love Western riding, I believe GUNSTOCK is the perfect ranch for you.
I experienced horseback riding at 1. Kualoa, 2. Koko Crater, 3. Turtle Bay Hilton, and 4. GUNSTOCK, and among them, this one is the best.
2 also offers a great view from a small hill, but it's more British. 3 was a horseback trek along the beach. At 4, during the trek, they were practicing roping calves in the back arena.
Next time, I hope to stay overnight at this ranch for a cowboy experience. (Note: For those who want to experience Western riding in Japan, Eldorado in Chiba is the best.)
クアロアののろのろ歩く乗馬に飽きた貴方、西部劇に出てくるカウボイのように颯爽と走りたい貴方、ウエスタン乗馬が大好きな貴方、そんな方にもってこいの牧場<乗馬クラブ>はGUNSTOCKと思います。
1、クアロア、2、ココクレータ、3、タートルベイヒルトン、4、GUNSTOCKでの乗馬とオアフ島でいろいろ体験しましたがその中ではここが一番でしょう。
2は4同様、小高い丘の上からの眺めが最高ですがブリティッシュです。3は海辺をトレッキングする乗馬でした。
4ではトレッキングの途中、奥の馬場で小牛を投げ縄で捕らえる練習をしていました。
次回はこの牧場で寝泊りしながらカウボイ体験が出来ればと考えています。<注:日本でウエスタン乗馬を体験したい方は千葉にあるエルドラドが一番です>以上

This New Year's, I went to Hawaii for the first time! I attended the Rock-a-Hula show by Legends in Concert Waikiki for the second time. The last time I watched from the back of the second floor, I saw people in the front row enjoying their meals while watching the show and thought, "This is how it should be in Waikiki!" I decided that next time, I would sit there for a revenge experience! So, I splurged on a VIP tour that included a behind-the-scenes look.
There were four groups participating in this tour. First, we waited in the VIP room, which had free drinks and a variety of delicious snacks that left us very satisfied! After a while, Lady Gaga came to take individual photos with us. Then, a manager who could speak a little Japanese slowly walked us through the backstage for about ten minutes, showing us props and set pieces while explaining everything. Standing on stage and looking out at the audience, I felt like I was Elvis or Michael—it was the best!
We sat in the front row for a full-course dinner, which was quite tasty! Finally, the show began, and being in the front row was completely different from watching from the second floor! We were so close that we could even see the sweat. Our eyes met several times, and it was just amazing! My wife was also really into it and at her maximum excitement level! I'm so glad I decided to splurge! She was extremely happy.
Since we came to enjoy Hawaii, I especially recommend this to couples from the Elvis and Michael generation. How about a surprise gift for your wife?
年末年始、お正月で初のハワイ!
ロック・ア・フラショーbyレジェンド・イン・コンサート・ワイキキは、今回2回目。
前回2階席後方から観た際、最前列席で優雅に食事し観ている人達をみてワイキキはこうでなくては! 次回はリベンジ?!あそこに座って観よう!と決め、今回VIP待遇の舞台裏まで見るツアーに思い切って奮発し参加しました。
このツアーに参加したのは4組のグループでした。まずはVIPルームで待機。フリードリンクや美味しいツマミが数多くあり大満足!
暫くするとレディガガが来てくれて個々の写真撮影。それから片言の日本語が話せるマネージャーが10分程度舞台裏をゆっくり歩きながら小道具・大道具などを見せてもらい説明を聞きました。舞台に立ち客席を見て自分がプレスリー、マイケルになった気分で最高!
最前列の客席に座ってフルコースディナー。まずまず美味しかったかな!
いよいよショーの始まり、やはり最前列は2階席から観るのとは大違い!汗までも見えるほど近い。何度も目が合い、もう最高! 妻ものりのりでテンションMAX!思い切って奮発して良かった‼️大変喜んでもらいました。
せっかくハワイにエンジョイしに来たのだから、特にエルビス、マイケル世代のご夫婦にはお薦めです。
奥様にビックリプレゼントとしていかがですか‼️

I previously enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center, but this time, we had a wedding in Waikiki with a large group of 12 people. We were able to see the luau at the nearby Hilton Village, and my new mother-in-law was truly thrilled to see it for the first time. It was really great. Requesting the premium seats was the right choice. Thank you very much.

I participated in "Rock-a-Flash Show" by Legends in Concert Waikiki (inside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center) / ☆Members Only Monitor Tour☆ / Green Room Dinner & Show. I am very satisfied with the high-quality show. Here are the details.
First, while enjoying champagne in the VIP room, Elvis came in and took a commemorative photo with us. After that, we had a backstage tour led by a guide who resembled Ebizo, and he explained everything in English, making it easy for us Japanese to understand without feeling nervous. After detailed explanations of the dressing room, lighting, and backstage, we were guided to a table in front of the stage for dinner. The meat was tender, and the shrimp was delicious, leaving us very satisfied.
Although it was a dinner show, Elvis was the first to appear. We could understand the feeling of when he first visited Hawaii through his costume, and even for those of us who are not from that generation, we could appreciate his high level of skill. After that, Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance. Her dance was impressive, but her piano performance and humorous act were very easy for the older audience to understand, creating a sense of unity in the venue. When Michael appeared at the end, the venue erupted with his overwhelming dance skills and singing voice. We were captivated for several minutes by his perfectly recreated dance performance. Being able to see his performance in Hawaii was a precious memory during our seven-day stay, truly living up to the name "King of Pop."
After the show, there was a photo opportunity with all the performers, and we had time for autographs and conversations, which is another reason I recommend this experience. In addition to the first-class performances of the main stars, the local performers dancing hula and the fire dance skills were uniquely Hawaiian and made for a very valuable experience.
I felt that this high-quality show could be enjoyed even by those who do not know Elvis or Michael in real-time. Thank you for the enjoyable time in Hawaii. I would like to visit again on my next trip to Hawaii.
今回ロック・ア・フラショー by レジェンド・イン・コンサート・ワイキキ (ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内) / ☆会員様限定モニターツアー☆/グリーン・ルーム・ディナー&ショー に参加して来ました。
完成度の高いショーに大満足しております。以下が詳細になります。最初にVIPルームでシャンパンを頂いていたら、エルビスさんがVIPルームに来て記念撮影してくれました。その後海老蔵似の案内人によりバックステージの見学しましたが、英語で丁寧に説明してくれたため、日本人の我々にも分かり易く、とても慣れた感じで緊張することなく理解すること出来ました。控え室、ライティング、ステージ裏を細かく説明頂いた後、ステージ前のテーブルに案内されて食事を頂きました。お肉も柔らかく、海老も美味しく大満足でした。
ディナーショーですが、最初に登場したのがエルビスでした。ハワイを初めて訪れた当時の感じが衣装からも理解ができ、世代では無い私達にも彼の技術の高さは理解出来ました。その後は、レディガガがサプライズな演出での登場。ダンスも印象的でしたがピアノ演奏と非常にユーモアのあるパフォーマンスには年配に方々にも非常に分かり易く、会場が一体となっておりました。最後にマイケルが登場した際には、圧倒的なダンス力と歌声で会場は大盛り上がり。完全に再現されたダンスパフォーマンスに数分間見入ってしまいました。まさにKING OF POPという名に恥じない彼のパフォーマンスをハワイで観れた事は7日間の滞在の中でも貴重な思い出となりました。ショー終了後にはパフォーマー全員との写真撮影があり、サインは勿論、会話もする時間を設けて頂けるため、間近で彼らに接する事が出来るのもお勧めする理由です。又、主役の方々の一流のパフォーマンスは勿論でしたが、周りでフラを踊っている現地パフォーマーの華やかさや、ファイヤーダンスの技術はハワイならではで大変貴重な経験となりました。
リアルタイムでエルビスやマイケルを知らない方でも必ず満喫することが出来る完成度の高いショーだと感じました。この度は、ハワイでの楽しい時間をありがとうございました。またハワイ旅行の際には行って見たいと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂き、誠にありがとうございました。楽しめて頂けた様で、とても嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイへお越しの際には、是非ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

I went on the 30th of December. My evaluation is... well, it's hard to say. The sandbar had beautiful scenery and the sea was stunning, but the lunch BBQ was not what I expected. Contrary to my expectations, it was just one hamburger. At this price, that's too high.
During the trip, it started to rain, and everyone had to run to the bus, which was far away. It was unfortunate for those with children. I wish the bus could come closer.
This tour includes tips, but when getting off the boat, they still asked for tips voluntarily, which left me feeling unsatisfied with the tour overall. However, I was satisfied with the sandbar itself.
年末の30日に行きました。評価は・・ん-なんとも。
サンドバーは景色も海も綺麗ですばらしかったのですが、お昼BBQランチではありません。
予想とは違って、ハンバーガー1個でした。このお値段では高いです。
途中、雨が降ってしまいバスまで皆走って行きましたが、そのバスが遠く子供さん連れの方などお気の毒でした。もっと近くまで来てくれればいいのに。
このツアーはチップも込みなのですが、船を降りるとき任意でチップも要求されあまり満足できないツアーでしたね。サンドバー自体は満足です。

I go to Hawaii every year, but this was my first time signing up for this dinner show. After checking in at 6 PM, I was guided to the green room, feeling like a VIP.
There, I saw a Lady Gaga impersonator who looked stunning in a bubble-themed costume. After taking a photo with her, three waiters offered us welcome drinks, appetizers, and a fruit platter, and we toasted on a luxurious sofa!
Next, we were shown the star's dressing room and backstage. The guide spoke in English but mixed in some broken Japanese while explaining the stage setup, and we even got to take photos on stage.
As for the meal, we were seated at the front VIP table, and the portions were just right and delicious, featuring lobster, steak, salmon, truffle mashed potatoes, and fondant chocolate.
After the meal, an Elvis impersonator made his entrance. During the first song, he came down to the audience and presented leis to women, greeting them with kisses. The ladies were squealing with excitement.
Next, Lady Gaga appeared, captivating the audience with her dance and sultry outfit.
The highlight was definitely Michael Jackson. There were many women shouting "Michael! Michael!"
Finally, the show concluded with everyone singing "We Are the World," which was very moving.
After the show, we had the opportunity to take commemorative photos with the stars at the exit. MJ was the most popular, and we lined up in a long queue to take pictures. Even up close, he looked just like him!
The impersonators were not only similar in appearance but also sang beautifully live. It was my first experience, but I definitely think this tour is highly recommended.
毎年ハワイに行っていますが、初めて今回のディナーショーに申し込みました。18時に受付を済ませると、VIP待遇を受けているような雰囲気でグリーン・ルームに案内されました。
すると、そこにはレディーガガのそっくりさんが(*^^)v。。。。シャボン玉の衣装をまとってとても綺麗でした。ガガと写真撮影をした後、3人のウェイターさんからウェルカムドリンク、オードブル、フルーツ盛り合わせを進められ、豪華なソファーで乾杯!
次にスターの控室やバックステージの案内です。英語ですが片言の日本語を交えて舞台装置の説明があり、実際に舞台の上で写真を撮ってもらいました。
食事ですが、一番前のVIPテーブルに案内され、ロブスター、ステーキ、サーモン、トリフ入りマッシュポテト、フォンダンショコラなどボリュームも丁度で美味しかったです。
食事が終わると、まずはプレスリーのソックリさんが登場。最初の歌で観客席に降りてきて女性に「レイ」をプレゼントして、挨拶のキスをしていました。女性陣のキャーという声が響いていました。
次は、ガガが登場。ダンスと色っぽい衣装で観客を魅了していました。
やっぱり盛り上がるのは、マイケルジャクソンでした。「マイケル×2」と叫んでいる、おばさんがたくさんいました。
最後に、全員揃ってWe are the worldの合唱でのフィナーレは、感動的でした。
ショーが終わると出口でスターとの記念写真撮影ができました。こちらもMJが一番人気長で蛇の列に並んで撮りました。近くで見てもやっぱりそっくりでした(^○^)
そっくりさんは顔だけでなく歌もそっくりで生歌でとても歌が上手でした。初めての体験でしたが、絶対おすすめのツアーだと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.

I attended with my mother and my 5-month-old daughter. The food was very delicious, and the show was just the right length, so I was very satisfied. However, the price was a bit high. The fire show was shorter than I expected. If you only want to see the hula, you can watch it for free somewhere else and have a meal at another place. A high-quality all-you-can-eat dinner while watching a show outdoors is luxurious and has a nice atmosphere, which might be great for couples. Small children might get bored, be scared, or end up staying up too late.

We participated as a family of four, including two children. Since we stayed at a hotel in the Ko Olina area, we walked to the venue. Given that it was Christmas Day, there was a long line by the 4:30 PM meeting time. I heard that last year there were over 1,500 attendees. I recommend arriving with plenty of time to spare. Most participants were from Europe and America, and I only saw a few Japanese families.
Before the show started, it was nice to enjoy activities like javelin throwing and lei making. The show was impressive, but since it was Christmas Day, many Christmas songs were performed, which was a bit disappointing. I was expecting to see a Hawaiian luau, but it turned out to be more like a Christmas dinner show.
It gets cold, so a jacket is necessary. The food is traditional, so you might want to manage your expectations. It was edible, but I can't say it was very delicious.
子ども二人を含む、家族四人で参加しました。
コオリナ地区のホテルに宿泊した為、徒歩で会場まで行きました。
クリスマスマス当日との事もあり、
集合の16時30分には、長蛇の列でした。噂では、昨年は1500人以上の人出だったとか。
余裕を持っての参加をお勧めします。参加者の殆どは、欧米の方、日本人は、数組見かけたくらいでした。
ショーが始まる前に、槍投げ、レイ作りなど楽しめるのは良いですね。
ショーは、見応えある物でしたが、クリスマス当日との事もあり、数多くのクリスマスソングが歌われて、少々がっかり。ハワイのルアウを

I felt it was unkind that it wasn't clear that the drinks were not included and that you could only use up to $16. I had the impression that Japanese would be understood in Hawaii, but it seems that there are many English-speaking guests.
ルアウのショーは迫力があってよかったです。日本語が通じなくて、説明が全く分かりませんでした。ドリンク二杯つきではなく16ドルまで使えるものとか分からないので、不親切に思いたした。ハワイだから日本語が通じる感覚だったのですが、英語圏の方の利用が多いのですね。

I had been interested in the sandbar for a while and decided to sign up! It was great that there was a pickup near the hotel, but I was confused at first because the person who came to pick me up was a woman, not Captain Bob. After about a 50-minute drive, we arrived at the marina, and it was just a short boat ride from there to the sandbar! Since it’s a bay, there were no waves, and even though I usually get seasick, I was fine this time without any motion sickness medication! We passed by a sea turtle spot on the way to the sandbar and were lucky enough to see sea turtles! I heard that if you're lucky, you can also see a school of manta rays, but we weren't able to encounter them, which was a bit disappointing! Since it was December, I was worried about the cold water, but we were blessed with clear sunny weather and had a great time at the sandbar! I definitely think it's a must-do when you go to Hawaii! Our guide, Yuki, was Japanese, very humorous, and incredibly attentive, which made the experience even better!

When you come to Hawaii, you must visit. It's a luau at my favorite Ko Olina.
The staff member who guides the shuttle bus is a wonderful DJ, making the ride enjoyable. They explain how to enjoy the luau in English. There are also restrooms available, which is great since the air conditioning can be quite strong. A thicker jacket is recommended.
As soon as you enter the venue, you are handed a punch. This alone lifts your spirits. Then, you receive a lei and take commemorative photos, posing with the dancers.
You are shown to your table for dinner, and until the meal begins, you can freely explore the venue. This time, I rode a canoe. Even if you don't paddle, the paddler does all the work, so it's fine. I'm satisfied with the friendly approach of the paddler.
While taking photos of the sea behind the stage, I encountered a mongoose. This is one of the fun aspects.
The sunset over the sea is beautiful, and the event is enjoyable (you can have fun for just $1 in tips). The stage is wonderful, and the dancers are of high quality. Even if you don't understand English, you can still enjoy it. There is a dance time, so couples might find it memorable to dance together in the dark shade of the trees.
When you enter, you receive a card with $12 worth of drinks. Since drinks are $6 to $11 each, you might be able to have two glasses of wine or beer. The meal is a buffet, so you need to get your own food. It seems like there are fewer options than before, but it's delicious. Drinks can be brought to you.
Water, coffee, and tea are free, but since the event ends early, it's best to get them early.
To have a fun time, I recommend dressing up in a muumuu or an aloha shirt. If you want to feel the Hawaiian breeze, I think you should definitely visit.
ハワイに来たら必ず訪れます。大好きなコオリナでのルアウです。
送迎バスの案内係りの方が素晴らしいDJで盛り上げるので、バスの車中も楽しく過ごせました。
どんな風にルアウで過ごせばいいか、などを英語で説明してくれます。
トイレも付いていました。冷房がきついので、これはありがたかったです。
上着は厚めの方がいいです。
会場に入るとすぐにパンチが渡されます。
これだけで氣分は盛り上がります。
そしてレイを掛けてもらい、記念撮影。
ダンサーさんに挟まれてポーズです。
食事のテーブル席に案内されて、食事が始まるまで自由に場内を遊びます。
今回はカヌーに乗りました。
焦げなくても、漕ぎ手の方が全部濃いでくれるので大丈夫。
漕ぎ手の方の優しい接し方に満足です。
舞台裏で海を撮っていたら、マングースに出会いました。
こんなことも楽しみのひとつです。
海に沈む夕陽も美しく、イベントも楽しくて(チップ制なので$1で楽しめます)
ステージも素晴らしいし。ダンサーのレベルが高いです。
英語が分からなくても堪能できます。
ダンス・タイムがありますので、ご夫婦で行かれる方は、暗闇の木陰でしっとりと踊られると思い出になると思います。
飲み物は入場するときにカードが渡され$12分入っています。
一杯$6~11なので、ワインやビールなら2杯飲めるかも。
食事はビュッフェなので自分で取りにいかないといけません。
以前より品数は少なくなったような氣がしますが美味しいです。
飲み物は運んでもらえます。
お水やコーヒー、紅茶は無料ですが、終了時間が早いので、早めに取っておくのがいいと思います。
楽しく過ごすために、ムームーやアロハ・シャツでドレスアップをおすすめします。
とにかく、ハワイの風を感じたい方は、訪れてみたらいいと思います。

The day before, I was worried about whether the event would take place and if we could even go into the water, as a typhoon was passing near Oahu. However, on the day of the event, the weather was clear after the typhoon, and we just needed to check the sea conditions. There were no cancellation notices, so we headed to the meeting point.
The meeting point was the last bus pickup, but the bus was over 15 minutes late, and there was no communication or tour desk, which made me anxious about whether the event would be canceled. Eventually, when I called the tour company, they said, "The bus will arrive in about 5 minutes." When I shared this with others waiting for the same tour, they seemed relieved. (If delays happen frequently, I hope they can review the schedule, and if there are delays, I wish there was a way to communicate that at the tour desk. It's unsettling to just wait in a foreign country.)
I had prepared for the bus ride by dressing warmly, as I had read in reviews that it could be cold, so it wasn't too chilly. After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat and set sail! The boat was comfortable and didn't rock at all.
Onboard, the crew provided explanations (in both English and Japanese), which was reassuring. First, we arrived at the sandbar and enjoyed the shallow waters. The water was colder than I expected, but after a while, it became fun. Given the season and time, the water was about knee-deep, and it felt more like a shallow area in the ocean rather than a sandbar.
The crew set up a beach volleyball net, but the Japanese participants didn't seem to play much. I think it would be more enjoyable if they did. After that, we had a BBQ on the boat. The captain grilled the BBQ, and it was delicious!
Then, the boat took us to a spot where we could see turtles. Luckily, we were able to see many turtles. According to the crew, this area was a filming location for many movies (like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jurassic Park), which might be exciting for movie fans.
Finally, we went to the snorkeling area. We swam close enough to the coral reef that we could almost reach it (but we shouldn't touch it). After that, we returned to the port and took the bus back to the original meeting point.
It was a very satisfying tour. With a Japanese guide available, I think those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.
前日は、オアフ島のそばを台風が通過し開催そのものや、海の中に入れるか不安でしたが
当日は台風一過というのか、空は快晴であとは海のコンディションだけでしたが、特にキャンセルの連絡もなかったので集合場所へ。
集合場所は、バスのピックアップの最後だったのですが、15分以上バスが遅刻し、特に連絡もツアーデスクもないので開催されないのか、不安でした。
結局ツアー会社に電話したら「あと5分ほどで到着する」と回答。周りに同じツアーに参加する人にも伝えると安心していたようでした。(遅延が毎回なら時間スケジュールの見直しをしてほしいですし、遅延している場合はツアーデスクなどにその連絡ができるようにしてほしいです。外国でただ待たされるのは心細いです。)
事前にバスの中は寒いと体験談にあったので、厚着して準備していたので、そこまで寒くはなかったです。
港に到着後船に乗船。出航!
船は揺れることもなく、快適でした。
船の上ではクルーによる説明がされ(英語チームと日本語チーム)るので安心です。
まずは、サンドバーに到着し浅瀬で楽しみます。水が思ったより冷たいですが、しばらくすると楽しくなります。季節・時間的にひざ下くらいで、サンドバーというよりは沖の中にある浅瀬という感じでした。
クルーはビーチバレーのネットを用意してくれたのですが日本人はあまり遊んでいませんでした。もっと遊んでも楽しいと思います
その後船の上でBBQ。キャプテンが焼いたBBQをおいしくいただきました!
そして、船はカメの見えるスポットへ。ラッキーにもカメはたくさん見ることができました。
クルーの説明によると、このあたりは多くの映画(パイレーツ・オブ・カリビアン、ジェラシックパーク)のロケがあった場所らしく、映画ファンならうれしいかも。
最後は、シュノーケルエリアへ。珊瑚礁が手がのばせば届きそうなくらい近いところで泳ぎました。(触ってはだめです)
そのあと帰港。バスで元の集合場所へ帰りました。
とても満足のツアーでした。
日本語のガイドもあるので、英語が苦手でも安心だと思います。
