I participated in late November.
I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.
I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.
I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.
If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.
11月下旬に参加。
時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。
船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります!
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。
船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。
イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい!という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ

I participated with my family of three (my wife, our fifth-grade son, and myself) during the flying stone holiday in October. In the past, I had gone on a company trip to Guam and watched a luau at a certain domestic place, and I wanted to show my family that experience, especially since it included a meal.
◇ Good Points
- About half of the participants were Japanese, which allowed us to somewhat feel like we were abroad in Hawaii.
◇ Disappointing Points
- The show’s production was too tailored to American tastes, making it hard to feel the essence of Hawaii.
- The food was also very American.
* I was expecting luau dishes (like roasted pig), but...
- I opted for the economy course to save money, but the difference in service compared to the higher-tier course was too stark (though this might be due to the price difference).
* In the higher-tier course, seats are closer to the front, and the seating and buffet meal guidance are prioritized. Additionally, leis are given to everyone, making the visual difference between us common folks and others painfully clear and causing unnecessary feelings of inferiority.
◇ Overall Impression
I found the production very disappointing, and the fire dance show I saw at the certain domestic place might have been more impressive. I thought I was paying a decent amount for Hawaii, but I only got one welcome Mai Tai, and I regretted that I would have been better off having a steak outside. Well, my wife and son were happy, so I guess that’s okay...
◇ Additional Note
By the way, there is a bar where you can buy drinks with cash if you want, so parents who enjoy alcohol can rest assured.
10月の飛石連休の中で家族三人(嫁+小五息子+自分)と参加しました
過去、自分だけ社員旅行で行ったグアムと○ワイ○ンズ(某国内)でルアウを観ていて、家族にも見せたいという思いと食事付きという内容により参加しました。
◇良かったところ
・ハワイにしては日本人の参加者が半分位で外国に来た気分が多少味わえました。
◇残念なところ
・ショーの演出がアメリカ人好みの演出すぎてあまりハワイを感じられなかった。
・食事もアメリカン
※ルアウ料理(子豚ちゃんの丸焼き?など)を期待していたのに・・・
・値段をケチってエコノミーコースを申し込んだのですが、上のコースとのサービスの差が激しすぎる(これは値段の差なのでしょうがないかも)
※上級コースだと席が前の方というのもあるけど、席への案内も食事(ブュッフェ式)の案内も先。さらにレイが全員にプレゼントされ、我々庶民との差がビジュアル的に一目瞭然で余計な劣等感を感じてしまう。
◇総評
自分としては演出がとても残念だったし、ファイヤーダンスなどは寧ろ「○ワイ○ンズ(某国内)」でみたショーの方が迫力があったかも。
ハワイでもそこそこの値段を払ったつもりなのに、酒 もウェルカムマイタイの一杯だけで、普通に外でステーキでも食べた方が良かったと後悔しています。
まぁ、嫁と小五の息子は喜んでいたからまぁ良いか・・・
◇補足
ちなみに、お酒はバーがあって飲みたければ現金払いでも買えるのでお酒好きのお父さんお母さんはご安心ください。

I had made a reservation for four people in the most expensive area, but when we arrived, there were no available seats for four. We ended up having to ask other guests who were already seated to move, creating a cramped seating arrangement. The location of our seats was only about a meter away from the regular seating area, and it was hardly different from the regular seats. In fact, the regular seats were more spacious and comfortable, which made for a very disappointing situation.
一番高額なエリアの席を事前に4名で予約をしていたのに、行ってみたら4名の席の空きがなく、既に着席している他のお客さんに移動をしてもらって詰め詰めの席をつくる始末。席の場所も、普通の席のエリアと1メートル程の通路を挟んだだけの位置で、普通の席とたいして変わらず、むしろ普通の席の方がゆったり座れるているという最悪の状況でした。

I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.
The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.
I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.
At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^
集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。

This was my third time in Hawaii, and I had been curious about this place for a while, so I finally participated this time. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lively and a bit noisy since the bar is in the same location. It might not be suitable for those who want to enjoy a meal in a relaxed setting.
The food was delicious; the crab had large pieces and was a bit salty, but I enjoyed it. The shrimp were also large and satisfying. The roast beef was thick and hearty. There were many types of poke, and it was great that hand-rolled sushi could be made in the open kitchen.
I was a bit disappointed that the menu had fewer options than I expected. However, even though I had made a reservation through Veltra and showed my voucher, I was confused when I was handed a receipt at check-in. When I showed the voucher again, it was fine, but it seemed like there was a lack of communication among the staff.
You can enjoy a variety of meats (roast beef), seafood (crab, shrimp, poke, shellfish), and more, so I think going to this buffet on the first day in Hawaii allows you to fully enjoy your time there. I went to a different buffet on the last day during a previous trip, and since I had already enjoyed so much, I couldn't eat much then, so I hope this helps.
ハワイ3回目でずっと気になっていたのですが、今回初めて参加させて頂きました。
お店の雰囲気はBARも同じ場所にあるので、賑わっていて少し騒がしいのが印象的です。ゆったりとした雰囲気の中で優雅に食事をしたい方には少し向いていないかもしれません。
食事の内容は蟹は身が大きく少ししょっぱ目でしたが美味しく頂けました。シュリンプも1つ1つが大きく満足でした。ローストビーフは厚さも食べ応えがありました。
ポケの種類も多く、手巻き寿司もオープンキッチンで作って頂けるので良かったです。
メニューの種類は思っていたよりも少なくて少し残念でした。
しかし、ベルトラで予約していてバウチャーを見せたのにも関わらず、チェックでレシートを渡されて戸惑いましたが、再度バウチャーを見せた所、大丈夫でた。スタッフ同士の連携が出来ていないイメージでした。
お肉(ローストビーフ)、海鮮系(蟹、海老、ポケ、貝)等々、満喫出来るのでハワイ初日にこのブュッフェに行くとハワイが満喫出来るのと思います。以前に違う所のブュッフェに最終日に行った所、もうすでに満喫していたので、あまり食べられませんでしたので、参考までに。

i wish we had more time at the plantation to actually go out on the train to be amongst the growing pineapples which would have added to the experience

I attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.
I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.
2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。
新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。

It’s an experiential luau that families with small children and couples can all enjoy, and my family had a fantastic time! Before the show started, there were activities like fire-starting and making headbands using banana leaves, which kept the audience engaged. They celebrated guests who were there for special occasions on stage, danced with the audience, and above all, the chief's stories were very entertaining, making us laugh from the bottom of our stomachs multiple times! The food and Mai Tai cocktails were also very delicious.
The final fire knife dance was impressive! My 2-year-old son watched intently without blinking!
Definitely experience Chief's Luau! The chief and the crew will surely entertain you!!!

A vast land that served as the filming location for various movies like Jurassic Park. I realized my dream of visiting here someday. It includes three types of experiences and meals, allowing us to enjoy nature in three different vehicles. I think it's a tour that you can't find in Japan.
Along the way, the guide spoke and played music that made us feel like we were in the world of Jurassic Park, and everyone on the ride got excited and cheered loudly. I'm glad I experienced it. Next, I want to try horseback riding too!
ジェラシックパークなどなどの様々な映画のロケ地となった広大な土地。いつか行ってみたいと思っていた事が実現しました。3種類の体験と食事付き、3種類の車での自然を体験してみて

Whenever I go to Hawaii, I usually spend my time at the beach and shopping, so this time I wanted to try something more active and joined a tour. However, the waiting time between each tour was boring, especially with kids. There wasn't really anywhere to pass the time...
I think the tour content would be enjoyable for movie fans (those who know a lot about it). I only knew a little (and just some parts), so I started to find the tour tiring and wanted to go home by lunchtime, haha. The bumpy ride on the jungle tour was more intense than I imagined; it felt like a serious version of Star Tours at Tokyo Disneyland, haha. I was so busy trying to keep the kids in check that I couldn't really enjoy the scenery. But since I had wanted to go at least once, I’m glad I got to understand the content.
Since the time commitment is long, I think for those who are just a little interested, it would be sufficient to just stop by with a rental car. The ocean view from Kualoa Ranch was really beautiful and different from Waikiki Beach. I heard you can see whales in the winter, so I’d like to come back during that time. Sorry for digressing!
いつもハワイに行くとビーチ・お買い物だったので今回はアクティブにすごしてみたいと思い参加しました。
一つ一つのツアーの間の待ち時間が子供もいたので退屈でした。

子供を抑えておくのに必死でそんなに景色も楽しめずでした。
でも一度行ってみたかったので内容がわかったよかったです。
拘束時間が長いので、少し見たいって方は、レンタカーで少し寄る程度で
充分かと思います。クアロア牧場から見える海はワイキキビーチとは違って

I saw dolphins a few times. It might be a luxury, but this is my evaluation of the tour.
First, make sure to arrive early when boarding the boat. The staff will ask you to fill in from the back, but those who know will sit in the front.
Sitting in the front makes it easier to secure a spot near the staff who are aware of where the dolphins are, as people in the front will jump into the sea first.
Also, it’s inconvenient if there’s no basket for your belongings under you, so try to sit where there is a basket.
You will inevitably have to swim close to the staff. Other guests may kick you or push you aside, but keep moving forward without giving up.
After seeing the dolphins, the staff will say, “Those who haven’t seen a dolphin yet, please come to the front,” but those who are at a distance where they can’t see the dolphins at that point cannot move forward.
This is because those who have seen the dolphins do not give up their spots.
The staff warns not to touch the dolphins beforehand, but even when someone tried to touch them, they didn’t seem to pay much attention.
It’s possible that the group I participated in had a lot of people, and that’s why there were such guests.
At the very least, I felt that it was an unfair tour where some people could see many dolphins while others could not, even though we all paid the same amount.
I don’t think the number of people who can board the boat is the same as the number of people who can enjoy the tour.
It’s dangerous to be kicked by fins, and I think it would have been better to sign up for an experience where you can swim with dolphins at an aquarium instead of insisting on wild dolphins.
イルカは数回、見えました。
贅沢かもしれませんが、それでもツアーとしては
この評価です。
まず、船に乗る際は早めに行きましょう。
スタッフに奥から詰めるように言われますが
分かっている人は手前に座ります。
手前に座っている人から海に飛び込むため
イルカの場所を把握しているスタッフさんの
近くの場所を確保しやすいからです。
また、自分の下に荷物のかごがないと不便なので
下にかごがある場所に座りましょう。
スタッフさんの近くまで泳ぐのは必至で泳ぎます。
他のお客さんに蹴られますし、手で押しのけられますが負けずに進みましょう。
イルカを見た後スタッフの方が
「一度もイルカを見ていない人は前に」といいますが
その時点でイルカが見えない距離にいる人は
前に行けません。
イルカを見た人が前を譲らないからです。
イルカには触らないようにとスタッフの方が事前に注意していますが
触ろうとした人がいても、特に注意をしていませんでした。
私が参加した回が人数が多く、たまたまそういうお客さんだった
可能性もありますが、
すくなくとも、同じお金を払い同じ回に参加したとしても
たくさん見れる人と見れない人がいる不公平なツアーだと感じました。
船に乗れる人数とツアーを楽しめる人数は同じではないと思います。
フィンのついた足で蹴られるので危ないですし
別に野生のイルカにこだわらなくても
水族館のイルカと泳げるものに申し込んだ方がよかったと思っています。

I had a great experience with SUP. The trainers and staff were all very nice, and I had a lot of fun. When we arrived, we had some free time first, and we went cycling for about 20 minutes to nearby Lanikai Beach. The turquoise blue beach was beautiful, and we even saw sea turtles! I was able to borrow snorkeling gear from the office beforehand, so I brought it along. After returning from the beach, we had pizza for lunch (you get a voucher), and it was very delicious! In the afternoon, we did SUP, but the wind was strong and the waves were big, so we practiced in the river first before heading out to the ocean. We aimed for a nearby island, but because the waves were high, we had to turn back without landing on the island. It was a shame we couldn't go to the island, but it was still a very enjoyable experience.
SUPの体験をしました。トレーナーの方もスタッフの方もみなさんとても良い人で楽しかったです。到着したら、最初に自由時間があり、20分位のサイクリングで近くのラニカイビーチへ行きました。ターコイズブルーのビーチでとても綺麗でウミガメも見れました!シュノーケリンググッズを事前に事務所で借りられたので持っていきました。ビーチから帰ってきてからランチはピザを食べて、(ただ券を貰えます)とても美味しかったです!午後からSUPでしたが、風が強くて波が大きかったので、最初は川で練習をして、その後海へ出ました。近くにある島を目指して漕ぐのですが、波が高かったので、島へは上陸せずに途中で引き返す形になりました。島へ行けなかったのは残念ですが、とても楽しい体験になりました。
Dear Marro,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the SUP lesson and snorkeling. We understand that you were unable to visit the island. Please come back for a second chance when you are in Hawaii again. We look forward to seeing you. Thank you.

I wanted to play in the ocean in Hawaii, but since I was traveling alone, it seemed lonely, so I signed up for a SUP shuttle, lunch, and guided tour.
Our guide, Mieko, was bright and supportive, and we somehow made it to the island. It was a challenge for me, but thanks to her, I was able to achieve it.
The photos taken on the island show the beautiful blue of the sky and sea! I was also happy to see myself paddling with a bit of a wobbly stance in the pictures. The young couple I was with were also very nice.
It was so much fun!! Next time, I'll go with my husband. Thank you!!
ハワイの海で遊びたかったけど、なんせ1人旅。寂しそうなのでSUPの送迎、ランチ、ガイド付きツアーに申し込みました。
ガイドのミエコさんが明るく、力強くサポートしてくれて、なんとか島まで到達。私にとってはチャレンジでしたが、お陰で達成できました。
島で撮って貰った写真も空と海の青がとっても綺麗!へっぴり腰でパドルを漕いでる自分も写真で見れて、嬉しかったです。ご一緒した若いご夫婦もとても感じの良いお2人でした。
とても楽しかった!!次回は主人と行きますね。ありがとう!!

I did the Green Room package which was neat being able to go back stage to see how things work behind the scenes along with being able to sit right in front of the stage to eat and watch the show which gave you a great view being so close to the performers. I like how they always include a local artist to perform too, so you are able to see not only Michael Jackson and Elvis but someone local as well. It's also nice that everything is indoors so you don't have to worry about the weather ruining your plans.

This is my third Luau that I have been to so far and this one is by far my favorite! The crew is so nice and attentive and I loved how Chief Sielu is so family oriented. He made several points to bring guests on stage and include them in the show and they even had a special moment for two children through the Make A Wish Foundation that were there which was so sweet!
You are entertained all night long whether it's by the dancing, the Chief's jokes or the amazing fire dancers. I would also highly recommend the Royal package, we had great seats up front and were one of the first in line for the buffet.

The weather was nice, and walking in the great outdoors was very pleasant and enjoyable. The main trekking course was under construction, so we took a different route, but it was fun to have the guide explain many plants to us.
お天気も良く大自然の中を歩いてとても気持ちよく楽しかったです。メインのトレッキングコースは、工事中で、違うルートだったのですが、たくさんの植物をガイドさんに説明してもらい楽しかったです。

The tour was a self tour and was great. The staff were aplenty and were very very helpful. The snorkelling gear and surfing gear was all there. The staff show you each step as to how and where to go and you also get your own bike as well to explore! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to do things their way.

Thank you for your patronage.
However, I understand that you may have felt disappointed as the service provided did not meet your expectations, despite purchasing the highest package.
Upon checking with the local operating company on the day of the event, I learned that while seats were secured for the number of guests, they are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, if other customers arrive first, it may be necessary for them to move in order to secure a space where everyone can sit together.
We appreciate your understanding.

ご利用ありがとうございます。
しかしながら、一番高いパッケージを購入いただいたにも関わらず、ご期待のそったサービスが提供されず残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
当日の状況を現地催行会社に確認しましたところ、人数分の席を確保しているものの先着順に席を案内しているため、他のお客様が先に来られた場合、みなさまが一緒に座れるスペースを確保するためにも、他のお客様に移動いただく場合もあるとのことでございます。
何卒ご了承ください。
