Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici

First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.
I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.
The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!
This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared

I participated with my husband and our 4-year-old and 0-year-old children.
I had many worries about bringing a baby, but I was truly moved by the beauty of the ocean. The water was cold, and we returned to the boat once, but since we had come all this way and the sky and sea were so beautiful, I thought it would be a waste to just watch from the boat. So, I held the baby and went into the water, which was waist-deep. However, in the shallows, it was only knee-deep.
I had heard that we couldn't use a stroller, so my husband and I took turns holding the baby. Fortunately, the baby didn't cry, which was a relief.
The BBQ burgers on the boat were delicious. While enjoying the beautiful ocean view, we ate hamburgers and listened to a lot of Hawaiian music, making it a relaxing day.
We couldn't go snorkeling, but we were able to see a turtle popping its head out of the water from the boat.
Since the boat was full, I thought it was a bit cramped for us with all our luggage.
旦那さんと4歳と0歳の子供を連れて参加しました
赤ちゃん連れで心配な事もたくさんありましたが本当に海のキレイさに感動しました。海が冷たくて一度船に戻りましたが、せっかく来たしこんなに空と海がキレイなのに、船からみてるのはもったいないと思い赤ちゃんを抱っこして腰までの深さの海に入りました。でも浅瀬へ行くと膝ぐらいの深さでした
ベビーカーは使えないと聞いてたのでずっと旦那さんと赤ちゃんを交代で抱っこしてました
幸い泣き叫ぶこともなくてよかったです
船上でのBBQバーガーは美味しかったです
キレイな海を眺めながらハンバーガーを食べてたくさんのハワイアンミュージックを歌ってもらいのんびりした一日となりました
シュノーケルはできませんでしたが、船からカメが顔を出してる所を見ることができました
船内は満席だったため荷物の多い私達には少し狭かったかなと思いました

I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!
In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.
One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m

As I saw in the movie, the sandbar where it suddenly becomes shallow was a very mysterious and wonderful place. The clarity of the seawater was indeed high, but it was a bit disappointing that it was cloudy that day. I hope to go on a sunny day next time. However, I was able to see many turtles and fish, and the staff's service was great, so I was very satisfied. I definitely look forward to visiting again!
映画で見たとおり、そこだけ急に浅瀬になっているサンドバーは、とても不思議で素敵な場所でした。
海水の透明度もさすがに高かったのですが、当日は曇り空だったので、それだけはちょっと残念でした。次回は晴れの日に行きたいなと思います。でも、亀もお魚もたくさん見れたし、スタッフの応対も良かったので大満足です。
また、是非宜しくお願いします!!

I wanted to join the recommended plan, but due to scheduling conflicts with other tours, I participated in the early morning plan.
The Japanese guide (a woman) kept the atmosphere lively with jokes and provided clear instructions at the sea turtle viewing points. I was able to see many more sea turtles than I had expected, and I even spotted baby turtles.
After the sea turtle viewing, we moved to the sandbar. The weather was nice, but the seawater was cold... (though it was fine once I got used to it). The scenery was just as beautiful as I had seen in photos!
After that, we went snorkeling, but contrary to my expectations, the visibility wasn't very good, and I felt like I hardly saw any fish. Additionally, the water was quite deep, and the current seemed relatively fast, so I recommend that those who are not experienced with snorkeling definitely use the floatation devices provided by the staff. (As a beginner, I found it tough without one.)
Overall, I think the tour is enjoyable, with all the staff being friendly and cheerful.
おすすめプランに参加したかったのですが、
他のツアーとの時間の兼ね合いで早朝プランへ参加しました。
日本人ガイドの方(女性)がジョークも交えつつ
盛り上げてくれ、ウミガメ観賞ポイントでは
ポイントをきちんと教えてくれました。
予想していた以上にウミガメが沢山見られ、
更には子ガメも発見できました。
ウミガメ観賞後はサンドバーへ移動。
天気は良かったのですが、海水は冷たかった・・・
(慣れてしまえば平気ですが)
写真で見ていたのと同じ風景ですごく綺麗でした!
そのあと、シュノーケリングをしましたが、
こちらは予想に反してあまり透明度が無く、
魚もほとんど見られなかったように感じます。
しかも水深は結構深く、流れも比較的早いように思うので、
シュノーケリングに不慣れな方は、スタッフが貸してくれる浮き棒?を必ず使うことをお勧めします。
(私は初心者だったのでこれがないときつかったです)
全体的にはスタッフの方も全員フレンドリーで明るく、
楽しく過ごせるツアーだと思います。

It was disappointing that the sandbar wasn't fully exposed since we participated close to high tide. However, the water level was about knee-deep, so we had fun playing volleyball with other participants.
The subsequent turtle watching from the boat and snorkeling at the coral reef were also great. Even without scuba diving, we were able to interact with tropical fish.
満潮に近い時間帯での参加だったのでサンドバーが完全には露出していなかったのが残念です。でも、水位は膝下くらいなので、アクティビティ参加者同士で、バレーボールをして楽しめました。
その後の船上からのウミガメ観賞やサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも良かったです。スキューバダイビングをせずとも熱帯魚と戯れることができました。

I wanted to forget the daily hustle and bustle, so I joined the tour alone and relaxed.
As we headed out to the sea by boat, a beautiful sandy beach suddenly appeared, which felt quite magical.
I checked the low tide times in advance, so everything went according to plan! I was able to see the sandbar.
Depending on the time, the sandbar may not be fully visible, so I definitely recommend checking the low tide times before participating.
Several sea turtles showed up, and I was able to take great photos!!
Since I was the only one participating alone, the staff were very attentive, and thanks to them, I had a wonderful time.

On the last day of our Golden Week trip, which was a Friday, we decided to participate in this highly rated activity of watching fireworks from a boat. After two hours, witnessing the ten-minute fireworks display was indeed a wonderful experience! However, while the food was tasty, I became anxious about whether I could eat much due to the boat's rocking for two hours (worried about seasickness). In the end, no one in my family could use the free drink tickets (two drinks each), and we barely managed to sip the first drink served.
Moreover, it was extremely cold. To protect my grandmother from the cold, we huddled together on the deck. Thankfully, we managed to avoid catching a cold until today, so it remains a good memory. The staff were cheerful and attentive to us, but considering all of this, I have to rate it accordingly.
Make sure to dress warmly if you go. I also recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. Additionally, since the restroom is located at the bottom of the boat, I think it's best to avoid going to the restroom while on board to prevent seasickness. The sunset, the bright moon, and the view of Diamond Head illuminated by it were all wonderful, but I think one hour would have been sufficient.
GW旅行の最終日、金曜日だった為、花火を船上で見上げるのも一興かもね、と、皆さんの評価も高かった本アクティビティに参加しました。
2時間の末に見上げた10分の花火の饗宴を見上げたのはやはり素晴らしい経験でした!
が、食事は味はいいのですが、やはり食べると、2時間もつか(船酔いしてしまうのでは?)と不安になるくらい揺れるため、あまり食べることができず。
飲み物のフリーチケット(各2杯)は、結局家族のだれも使えず、最初のサービスの一杯に口をつけるのが精いっぱいでした。
そして、何より、超・寒かった。
祖母を寒さから守るため、身を寄せ合って甲板に座り、、結局今日まで風邪をひかないで済んだので、良い思い出ではありますが。
スタッフの皆さんは陽気で楽しく、我々にも大変気を使ってくださったのですが、、、そんなこんなで評価の星数です。
しっかり暖かい恰好をしていってください。
さらに、酔い止めは、しっかり飲んで参加をお勧めします。
また、船のトイレは船底にあるため、船上でトイレに行くのも、酔うのを避けるには、やめたほうがよいかと思います。
サンセットも、月が明るくなる様子もそれに照らし出されるダイヤモンドヘッドも素晴らしかったけど、1時間でいいです。。

We splurged and reserved premium seats, and on April 30th, we attended with my wife and our nephew. When we arrived at the meeting time, there was already a long line, but we were prioritized and guided to the front row table. It seemed that those with general seating were being directed to the front row seats in order of arrival, so I recommend arriving early.
The table we were shown to was a round one right in front of the stage. The backdrop of the oceanfront stage featured Diamond Head, making for a fantastic location. Even though we had premium seats, those who arrived after us were seated with their backs to the stage and Diamond Head, which made the benefits of the premium seating feel a bit diminished.
The meal was served as a course rather than a buffet, and the staff frequently came to take drink orders, so we didn't feel any frustration. Since we were in Waikiki, it felt like there were overwhelmingly more Japanese guests. At our table for nine, aside from the two Americans at the neighboring table, everyone else was Japanese.
I have experienced several luau shows, including those on the outer islands, but this one was not the type where the audience participates with a lot of chatter; it was a well-structured entertainment show to watch. The fire dance, in particular, was the most impressive I have ever seen.
I was glad that the show coincided with my stay in Waikiki, as I was able to enjoy a very luxurious time. Thank you very much.
奮発してプレミア席を予約し、我々夫婦と甥っ子と3人で4月30日に参加しました。
集合時間に行くとすでに長蛇の列が出来ていましたが、優先して最前列のテーブルに案内していただきました。一般席を予約している方は到着順に舞台の前列の席から誘導されているようでしたので、早めに到着することをお勧めします。
私たちが案内されたのは舞台の目の前にある丸テーブルの席でした。オーシャンフロントの舞台の背景にはダイアモンドヘッドがあり、最高のロケーションでした。同じプレミア席でも私たちの後から来た方は舞台とダイアモンドヘッドを背にする席でしたのでプレミア席の<メリット感>が少ないようにも感じました。
食事はビュッフェスタイルではなく、コースのお料理が順番に席に運ばれてきました。飲み物は席の係の方が頻繁にオーダーを聞きに来てくれていましたのでフラストレーションは感じませんでした。
ワイキキですので、印象としては私たち日本人が圧倒的に多く感じました。私たち9人席のテーブルも隣の席の米国人おふたり以外は日本の方でした。
離島も含めてルアウショーの経験はいくつかありますが、観客が<ワイワイガヤガヤ>と参加するタイプのものではなく、全編がしっかりと構成されたエンターテイメントを<観る>というものでした。取り分けファイアーダンスは今まで観た中でも圧巻でした。

It seems that the weather around the sandbar can be unstable. When I participated, it was sunny and about 28 degrees in Waikiki, but Kaneohe Bay was cloudy with some rain. However, I was able to see the sandbar, so it was still a lot of fun.
Advice for those participating:
It's better to prepare for the cold!!
(Check the weather in Kaneohe Bay on the day, not Waikiki.)
If you have long-sleeved swimwear for surfing, and a jacket and something like sweatpants to wear after getting out of the water, you won't feel cold. (The guide was wearing a windbreaker...)
If the weather is clear, it's the best. The burgers for lunch are delicious!
サンドバーのあたりは、天候が不安定みたいです。
参加した時も、ワイキキは、晴天28度くらいだったけど、カネオヘ湾は、曇って雨もパラついていました。でも、サンドバーはみれたので、やっぱり楽しかったです。
参加される方へのアドバイス:
寒さ対策あったほうがいいです!!
(ワイキキではなく、当日のカネオヘ湾の天気チェックしてください。)
サーフィン用などの、長袖水着とか、海から上がったあと、上着と、下にはくジャージの様な物もあれば、寒くないです。(ガイドさんは、ウインドブレーカーきてました・・)
天気晴れたら、最高です。お昼のバーガーおいしいです~!

However, there might be fewer types of fish for snorkeling. The staff were also very friendly, making it fun and taking photos for us.

I went to a luau show. I wasn't expecting much, as I didn't plan to go all the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
However, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I didn't understand the language, it felt like everyone could participate. The final fire dance was breathtaking. The dancers looked like they were having so much fun, which made it enjoyable for us too.
The meeting point was a bit hard to find, and the guidance wasn't sufficient, so I was a bit confused. I paid extra for good seats, but those who got in early were able to sit in the front. To get in early, you should stay a bit away on the Ala Moana side rather than at the meeting point. I think the guidance was provided early.

It was my second time, but it was my friend's first. Once we got on the welcome bus, it felt like we were in a different world. The lively conversation filled with jokes was so engaging that even with our basic English skills, we found ourselves laughing without fully understanding. Just like last time, there were no other Japanese people around, and it was an entirely different experience. Everything at Paradise Cove was truly wonderful, and the excitement continued on the return bus—an absolutely perfect tour.

We had a reservation at 6:00 PM, and it was a wonderfully perfect time. It was cloudy that day, so the night view wasn't the best, but it was still breathtakingly beautiful.
The prices were a bit high, but I think it's worth it for that view.
There were four dishes, and while it wasn't a full course, the portions were sufficient. The taste was also impeccable.
I think spending a luxurious time on the last night in Hawaii is a great idea.

We participated as a family of five with children aged 7, 4, and 2. The weather was nice on the day of the event, the sea was calm, and we were able to see sea turtles, making it a very enjoyable experience. The boat was filled only with Japanese participants, and there were also Japanese female staff members, so the children felt comfortable. With around 20 participants, it was easy to interact with nearby families and couples, and at the sandbar, even small children could play leisurely while holding hands with their parents. Only my 7-year-old and I tried snorkeling. There were long floats that allowed us to view the underwater scenery side by side, making it surprisingly easy to see coral reefs and small fish. For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers on the boat, and we could enjoy our meal while leisurely taking in the scenery. It was a fun tour. For reference, the meeting place was not our accommodation, so I was a bit worried about whether we were in the right spot until the pickup arrived. The bus was shared, and I was concerned that nearly 90% of the passengers were American, wondering if there were no other Japanese participants, but I felt relieved when we met up at the dock. Additionally, my wife mentioned that the staff shared interesting stories on the microphone during the bus ride, but since it was all in English, it was boring if you didn't understand. I thought it would be nice to have books or toys for the children to keep them entertained during the bus ride.
7才、4才、2才の5人家族で参加しました。当日は天候も良く海も荒れず、ウミガメも鑑賞でき大変楽しく参加できました。船も日本人参加者のみで乗船でき日本人の女性スタッフもいましたので子供たちも懐いていました。船も参加人数がごちゃごちゃしない20人程度でしたので程よく近くの家族連れやカップルと交流ができ、サンドバーでは小さい子供も親と手を繋いでのんびり遊べます。シュノーケリングは7才の子と私だけ挑戦しました。2人で並んで水中を鑑賞できる長い浮きなどもあり案外簡単にサンゴ礁や小魚を鑑賞できました。お昼はスタッフが船上でハンバーガーを焼いてくれて船でのんびりと景色を見ながら食べれます。楽しいツアーでした。参考までに集合場所が私たちは宿泊先ではなかったので少々迎えがくるまでここでいいのか心配でした。バスも乗り合いで米国人が9割近く乗車してて日本人はいないのかと心配になりましたが船着き場で合流できたので安心しました。あとバスの中で妻曰くおもしろい話をスタッフがマイクで話していたそうですが、終始英語なので解らないと退屈です。バスの乗車中、本など子供がひまを紛らわせるおもちゃなどあるといいかなと思いました。

I visited Kailua last January, and since I only did sightseeing then and didn't swim, I made sure to participate this time with the intention of definitely getting into the ocean.
The wind was strong and it was a bit chilly, but I was able to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
There were quite a few participants, but the staff at the shop were efficient in giving instructions, which minimized any time loss, and that was great.
On the way to the beach, I bought breakfast at a small market and enjoyed it on the beach, which was delicious. (I later found out it was a famous market.)
The pizza for lunch was also tasty. The lady at the pizza shop was a fun person.
It was a last-minute trip, but with Alan1, I was able to confirm my reservation immediately, making it easy to plan. I would like to use their services again. Thank you very much.
カイルアには昨年1月に行き、その時は観光のみで泳がなかったので、この次は絶対海に入るぞっと思い、参加しました。
風が強く、少し肌寒かったですが、綺麗な景色でのんびりできました。
結構沢山の参加者でしたが、ショップの方はテキパキと指示されて時間のロスも無く良かったです。
ショップからビーチまで歩いて行く間にある、小さなマーケットで朝ごはんを買ってビーチで食べたのも、美味しかったです。
(あとから有名なマーケットだったとわかりました。)
お昼のピザも美味しかったです。ピザのお店のおばさんも楽しい人でした。
急に決めた旅行でしたが、Alan1さんは申し込み即確約できて、プランが立て易かったです。またお世話になりたいです。有難うございました。

This time, there were only my husband and me on the guided tour. My husband has kayaking experience, but I was a beginner. The guide kindly taught me how to get into the kayak and how to use the paddle. With a spirited "Let's get to it!" we walked for about three minutes with our gear, and in front of us was the beautiful blue ocean of Kailua, welcoming us with a sea turtle! It was so cute popping its head out of the water. However, there was no time to be amazed as I nervously got into the kayak and set off into the open sea. We paddled hard, following the guide towards an uninhabited island about 300-400 meters away. Despite the headwind, as we paddled, another sea turtle swam nearby! In a moment of surprise, we forgot to paddle and exclaimed, "Wow!!!" After a brief moment of excitement, I quickly returned to focus, being careful not to hit the turtle with my paddle, and we paddled for another 20 minutes before safely arriving at the island. The guide explained in detail why this island was formed, the habits of migratory birds, and that it is a protected area. Along the way, we found a pair of migratory birds in a hole and discovered crab shells, all while having a great time walking around the island. After that, we expressed our desire to go snorkeling at Lanikai, and the guide happily agreed, so we got back into the kayak. Paddling from the island to Lanikai Beach was challenging as we had to paddle at a right angle to the waves to avoid being swept onto the sandy beach. Fortunately, we encountered another sea turtle along the way. This time it was a baby turtle, small and adorable! We couldn't believe how lucky we were to see so many turtles as we made our way to "Heavenly Sea." Lanikai has many coral reefs, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling! We enjoyed snorkeling with the guide, greeted by small fish, large fish, and colorful fish, which made all the paddling fatigue disappear. Although I’m not very good at swimming and couldn’t go far, the guide was thrilled, saying, "Look at this big fish (about a meter long)!" After about 15 minutes of snorkeling, we took pictures together and had a blast! The two-hour tour went by in a flash, and we kayaked back to Kailua, where we said goodbye to the guide. After that, we had lunch at a pizza place and enjoyed some free time. Of course, we returned to Kailua Beach afterward!
今回、ガイドさん付きのツアーは私達夫婦一組だけ。夫はカヤック経験者だけど、私は初。そんな私のためにカヤックの乗り方、パドルの使い方を丁寧に教えてくれました。『実践あるのみダネ~♪』と意気揚々と道具を持ち、海へと歩くこと3分ほど。目の前にはカイルアの青い青い海が広がっていて、海ガメさんがお出迎え♪顔を水面から出したりしててカワイイ~。が、、、感動する暇もさほどなく、おっかなびっくりカヤックに乗っていざ大海原へ。。300~400m離れた無人島を目指してひたすらガイドさんについて漕ぐ、漕ぐ、漕ぐ。。向かい風にも負けず漕いでいると、ゆらゆらと別の海ガメさんが近くを泳いでる!!まさかの遭遇に、漕ぐのを一瞬忘れ二人で『おぉ~~~っっ!!!』と大騒ぎ!!感動も束の間、ふと我に返りパドルを亀さんにぶつけないように気をつけながら再び漕ぐこと20分。島に無事に到着♪なぜこの島が出来たのかとか、渡り鳥の習性、保護地区であることを詳しく教えてくれました。途中、穴の中に渡り鳥のツガイを見つけたり、カニの抜け殻を見つけたり、大騒ぎしながら一周歩きました。その後、ラニカイへ渡ってシュノーケルをしたい、という私達の希望をガイドさんは快く引き受けてくれて、再びカヤックへ。島からラニカイビーチまでは波に対して直角に漕ぐので、砂浜に流されないようにするのが大変だった・・。嬉しいことに、その途中でも海ガメさんに遭遇。今度は子ガメで、小さくて可愛かったぁ~(*^^*)こんなに会えるなんて思ってもみなかっただけに、ラッキーなことこの上ないね、と話しながら『天国の海』へ。ラニカイはサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、シュノーケルには絶好の場所!ガイドさんと一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。小さな魚や大きな魚、色とりどりの魚たちが出迎えてくれてさっきまで漕ぎまくった疲れも吹っ飛びましたね。泳ぎがあまり得意ではなく、遠くまでは行けなかったけどガイドさんは『こ~んな大きな魚(1メートルくらい)がイタヨ!』と大喜びでした☆
15分ほどシュノーケルを楽しみ、写真を3人で撮り合い、大騒ぎしてとても楽しかった~!!!!2時間のツアーガイドもあっという間で、再びカヤックでカイルアへ向かい、Shopへ戻ってガイドさんとはお別れ・・・。その後はピザ屋さんでのランチとフリータイム。ランチ後はもちろん再びカイルアビーチに戻りましたが♪キレ

I participated in a look-alike show. I was really looking forward to seeing my favorite, Michael, and I thought I didn't know much about Elvis or Elton's songs, but once it started, I realized that all the songs were ones I had heard on dramas and radio, and I enjoyed them a lot. The singing was excellent, and when Elvis winked at me, I couldn't help but feel a thrill.
And then, finally, Michael appeared! Having grown up watching his music videos countless times, I briefly thought, "Wait, is he a bit chubby? Are his legs a little short?" But the lighting effects, sharp dance moves, and beautiful singing voice were just like Michael himself. It was mesmerizing.
Since I applied from the green room, my seat was right in front of the stage, in the center, so the performers came close to me one after another. The stage was an exciting entertainment experience, but the time spent in the green room and backstage/stage tour also provided a special feeling, so I highly recommend it.
The dinner was also very delicious, and I left feeling full.
I would love to go to this show again when I visit Hawaii next time. Thank you for a wonderful time!
そっくりさんショーに参加しました。
大好きなマイケルを楽しみにしていてエルビスやエルトンの曲はよく知らないな、と思っていましたが、始まってみるとドラマやラジオで聞いていて知っている曲ばかりで楽しめました。歌もとてもうまくてエルビスにウィンクされ思わずときめいてしまいました。
そしていよいよマイケル登場!ミュージックビデオなどを何度も見て育った私は「あれ、ぽっちゃり?ちょっと足が短い?」と一瞬思いましたが、照明効果やキレのあるダンスそして美しい歌声はマイケルそのものでした。うっとりです。
グリーンルームで申し込んだので席もステージの目の前、ど真ん中だったのでパフォーマーたちが続々と近くまで来てくれました。
ステージも大興奮のエンターテイメントですが、グリーンルームでの時間や楽屋/ステージ見学も特別感が味わえるのでおすすめです。
ディナーもとてもおいしくてお腹いっぱいになりました。
次ハワイに行ってもまた行きたいショーです。楽しい時間をありがとう!
