This was a must do activity and was made excellent by our host "Cousin Bo" who was informative and entertaining. The event itself was fantastic, the show was very professional and the story of the Pacific islands well executed. The fire dance at the end was visually stunning and well worth it. Location was beautiful and the trip there was pretty too. The activities and food were probably not my ideal, but we would absolutely recommend going for the actual performance. We booked the royal experience. The chief is a real comedian and the evening was good fun all round.

This was my second visit to Gunstock Ranch. This time, I mistakenly entered "Kahuku" instead of "Lai'e" into the rental car's navigation system, so I got quite lost before arriving... Upon arrival, I signed the liability waiver, had my luggage stored, and borrowed a helmet before heading out for horseback riding! The course was supposed to be one hour, but I think we ended up riding for over an hour. Last time, we had photos taken at the photo points, but this time, since the Travel Maker's donkey was with us (laughs), the staff member seemed to forget about taking pictures, so we didn't get any... However, the horses were all smart and gentle, making for a very pleasant riding experience. I would love to experience horseback riding here again on my next trip to Hawaii.
2度目のガンストック牧場。
今回はレンタカーのカーナビ入力で「ライエ」ではなく間違って「カフク」にしてしまったのでだいぶ迷いながら到着しました・・・
到着すると免責書類にサインをし、荷物を預かってもらい、ヘルメットを貸してもらいいざ乗馬!!
1時間コースでしたが1時間以上乗馬をしていたかと思います。
前回は写真ポイントで写真を撮って頂いたのですが、今回はトラベルメーカーのロバちゃん(笑)もついてきていたので、スタッフのお姉さんも写真のことを忘れていたのか、写真は撮って頂けませんでした・・・
しかし馬たちもかしこく大人しい馬ばかりでとても気持ちが良い乗馬体験が出来ました。
次回もハワイへ行った際はここで乗馬を体験したいです。

We enjoyed the cruise. The staff was very attentive to us. Dinner was first. Unfortunately the dinner lasted through the sunset and we were seated on the opposite side of the boat. So didn't really see the sunset. We did the crab legs dinner. It was nice. Make sure you get seconds when they offer. They come around a 1 time. The entertainment was fun. The dancers performed in the middle of the deck. That is why dinner is quick. The Honolulu lights at night are a pretty sight. The night was breezy so bring a sweater to through on in case.

I chose Gunstock Ranch from the many horseback riding plans available. Since I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, I can't compare, but I truly recommend Gunstock Ranch. First of all, the horses are calm and easy to ride. I had no anxiety at all. I didn't understand the English explanations very well, but it's reassuring even for first-timers. And above all, the course is fantastic. There are mountains and the sea, so I wasn't bored from start to finish. This time, I took the one-hour course, and I think it's just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, my legs might get tired...
たくさんある乗馬プランの中から、このガンストック牧場を選びました。他の乗馬を知らないので、比べられませんが、ガンストック牧場は本当にお勧めです。まずは馬がおとなしくて乗りやすいです。全く不安がありませんでした。英語の説明はよくわかりませんでしたが、初めての方でも安心です。そして何よりもコースが最高です。山あり海ありで、最初から最後まで退屈しませんでした。今回は1時間コースでしたが、調度良い時間だと思います。それ以上長いと足が疲れてしまうかも・・・。

We did the campfire dinner ride. They keep it to 2 to 6 people. We were the only 2 on the ride that night so it was a wonderful private ride too. It was very pleasant not being in a line of 20 horses like other places we rode. The ride is very enjoyable. Beautiful scenery. Relaxing ride. Clean pathway. Fresh air. The campfire is at the top of a hill so it was a little breezy. We went in December so it was a little cool. Dinner was nice. Good size steak and shrimp, macaroni salad, rice, fresh fruits, smores. More than we could eat. The guide was pleasant and helped my wife the couple times her horse wanted to go another direction. She let me lead a few times while she helped my wife. We will definitely do this ride when we make it back to Oahu.

We went with our 4-year-old child. We made a VIP reservation and waited in a private room while enjoying cocktails and fruits. Then, Michael came and we took pictures together.
After that, it was dinner time, and everything was delicious—lobster, meat, salmon, and drinks. We were completely full. The staff who served us were very pleasant. The people at the neighboring table were both foreigners and Japanese, and we hit it off, chatting and having a fun dinner time.
After the meal, it was showtime. There were many dancers right in front of us! The fire dance was powerful and intense! We enjoyed the Hawaiian vibe with various hula dances performed by beautiful ladies. The live singing by two of the ladies was also very impressive. The live band played a wide range of songs, from popular tunes to Hawaiian music, which was very enjoyable.
There were also impersonators who came out, and I was truly amazed by their singing and dancing skills; I was surprised to think that the real person had appeared.
Celine's vocal ability was mesmerizing to listen to. It reminded me of Titanic.
Although I'm not from the Elvis generation, I recognized some of his songs and enjoyed them. "My Way" was full of mood. They came around to the first and second-floor audience seats.
Michael's dance moves and singing were so sharp that I thought he was the real deal! His moonwalk was incredible. Zombies also appeared from various places in the venue.
After the show, it was photo time. All the cast members happily took pictures with us, creating great memories.
Although we had a small child with us, he seemed to enjoy the hula dance the most and said he had a great time. We had a very meaningful experience. Thank you very much.

I attended on Christmas Eve. Since I was a VIP, they prepared welcome drinks and some light snacks.
The lobster was delicious. At the table next to us, a foreign couple was cracking the shells with their teeth and eating every bit, which inspired my husband to do his best to eat as well. It was unfortunate that the claws had meat packed in them, but without any cuts, it was difficult to eat.
The steak was medium and tender, making it easy to eat, but I don't remember the taste.
After we finished eating, the show began. This was really fun. Elvis is from a different era, I'm not interested in Michael, and I only know one song by Celine Dion... but since my husband really wanted to go, I went along, and I actually enjoyed it a lot. I recommend it. It was fine even for us, who are not good at English. There were impersonations, hula, and fire performances. Hmm. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.
It's not a very large venue, so I think any seat would be close to the stage.
クリスマスイブに参加しました。VIPだったので、ウェルカムドリンクや簡単なつまみが用意してありりました。
ロブスターは美味しかったです。隣の席で外国のご夫婦が歯でバリバリ殻を割り、隅々まで召し上がる姿を参考に、主人は頑張って食べていました。ハサミの部分にも身が詰まっているのに、切り込みがないのが食べにくかったのが残念。
ステーキはミディアムで柔らかく食べやすかったですが、味は印象に残っていません。
食べ終わってからショーが始まります。これは本当に楽しかった。プレスリーは時代が違うし、マイケルは興味ないし、セリーヌディオンは1曲知っている程度…でも主人がどうしても行きたいというのでついていったのですが、、、そんな私が本当に楽しめました。オススメです。英語が苦手な私たちでもokでした。ものまね、フラ、ファイヤー。うーん。また機会があったら参加したいな。
そんなに大きな会場ではないので、恐らくどの席で観ても近いと思います。

What is awesome about Gunstock Ranch is that it is in a very secluded area. The trail is very peaceful and we rode through grassy clearings and lots of cattle. It was a very small and intimate group (myself, my friend and the instructor), which I really liked because on other trails I've been on it involved following a long trail of people on their horses. This time I felt more in control of my horse. The horses are very well trained and know how to follow each other. I've tried to get mine to trot, but since I was on a beginner's trail it wouldn't allow me to do it. Also, the instructor, Garrett (hopefully I spelled his name correctly), was very pleasant and helpful throughout the entire trail.
Mahalo Torie for taking the time to review your ride and include so many details. Our goal is to keep the rides small so people can enjoy the horses, guide and scenery better. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo

I participated in a tour for a wonderful mother-daughter memory during Christmas. Since I applied for the VIP plan, we had dinner at a table in front of the stage. At the reception, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so we were able to smoothly enter through the VIP entrance. As soon as we entered, a smiling staff member served us welcome drinks. After taking photos with the performers, we entered the venue for dinner time. The staff were very accommodating, and the amount of dinner was quite generous, leaving us both satisfied in our stomachs and spirits. After dinner, it was finally showtime. The hula dance, fire dance, and impersonation show all got the audience excited, and it was more thrilling than I expected. The impersonations of Elvis, Celine, and Michael featured famous songs, so even those who are not familiar with the originals could enjoy it. Since it was Christmas, they also sang special Christmas songs, allowing us to have a more wonderful Christmas than we anticipated.

I had a wonderful night where both my stomach and heart were 100% satisfied. First, I nibbled on fruits and cocktails before dinner, gradually building my anticipation. When I was seated right in front of the stage where the show would take place, I enjoyed a delicious dinner, including lobster, filled with excitement. The menu was sophisticated and well-suited to Japanese tastes.
Finally, the long-awaited show began. The beautiful and intricate hula dance performed by women, along with the intense male dances that used real fire, were captivating and kept my eyes glued to the stage! Under the theme of the fusion of rock and hula, the stage transformed continuously, with diverse songs, atmospheres, and costumes that never got boring. As the venue was filled with excitement, soon Elvis, Michael, and Celine made their appearances, and the show ended on a high note. I believe this is the best entertainment you can find in Waikiki.
お腹も心も満足度100パーセントの素晴らしい夜を過ごすことができました。まず、ディナーの前にフルーツやカクテルをつまみ、徐々に期待値が上がっていきます。ショーの行われるステージの目の前の席に通されると、ドキドキ感で一杯なまま、ロブスターを始めとする目にも舌にも美味しいディナーをゆっくりと楽しみます。日本人の口にもよく合う、どれも洗練された
メニューです。そしていよいよ、待ちに待ったショーが始まります。細やかで美しくも動きのある女性のフラダンスに、本物の火を使うなど激しい動きを伴う男性のダンス、どれも一瞬たりとも目を離せない素晴らしさです‼︎ロックとフラダンスの融合の名のもと、舞台は次々と変わり、曲目、雰囲気、ダンサーの衣装や背景も実に多様で全く飽きさせません。会場が熱気に包まれる中、暫くすると、エルビスやマイケル、セリーヌも登場、まさに大盛り上がりの内にショーは終了します。これぞワイキキにおける最高のエンターテイメントといえると思います。

I am a 45-year-old man. Two years ago, I participated in a 90-minute scenic course here, but this time I brought my 1st-grade daughter and 5th-grade son, and we participated in a 60-minute scenic course as a family of four. We rented a car early in the morning and it took about an hour from our hotel in Waikiki. We encountered rain in December, but by the time we arrived at the ranch, the weather cleared beautifully.
A young woman at the reception became our contact person. Almost everything except for the contract was in English, but I think it’s manageable even if you don’t understand everything. A year ago, when my child rode a small horse in Cairns, a Japanese person on a working holiday helped pull the reins, but at Gunstock, even my 1st grader rode a proper horse by themselves. The guide led the way, followed by the two children and then the couple. The kids were quite nervous at first, but after about 15 minutes, they learned to kick the horse's belly, which made the horse move, and they looked happy.
The distance differs between the 90-minute and 60-minute rides, but I think the height of the hills we climbed was quite different. Since we had elementary school children with us, the 60 minutes was sufficient, and we could see the beautiful North Shore sea. Along the way, we saw horses and cows grazing. Walking with the horses was pleasant, and the scenery was lovely, creating a wonderful feeling. While riding, the guide shared various information about the ranch, but with my language skills, I only understood about half of it. Still, it was a good experience for our family. The guide was kind and accommodating to us. (By the way, this was my second time, and the staff were all young both times.)
If we can go again, I would like to do the 90-minute ride with my family. We have also ridden at another ranch on Oahu, but we prefer Gunstock. The reception is just a small hut, giving it a rustic and pastoral atmosphere like a Western movie ranch. There are turkeys, goats, and dogs wandering around, and as you go further in, there are many horses. All of them are large and impressive, exuding both gentleness and dignity. I’ve been there twice, and the staff were all young both times. It really feels like America.
45歳男性です。2年前にもここで90分のシーニックコースに参加しましたが、今回は小1女子と小5男子の子供を連れて、親子4人で60分シーニックコースに参加しました。朝1でレンタカーを借り、ワイキキのホテルから1時間くらいでしょうか、12月の雨に降られましたが、牧場に着くと見事に晴れ上がりました。
受付の若い女性がそのまま我が家の担当になりました。契約書以外はほぼ100%英語ですが、わからなくてもなんとかなると思います。1年前にケアンズで乗馬した時の子供の馬はかなり小型で、ワーホリの日本人が手綱を引っ張ってくれましたが、ガンストックでは小1でも本格的な馬に一人で乗ります。ガイドさんが先頭で、その後に子供二人、夫婦二人が続きました。子供は最初かなりビビってましたが、15分もするとお腹をキックすることにを覚え、それで馬が動いてくれるので、嬉しそうでした。90分と60分では距離も違いますが、登る丘の高さがかなり違ったと思います。小学生連れなので、それでも十分で、ノースショアの海が綺麗に見えますし、途中に、馬や牛が放牧されています。馬と散歩するのは、景色も良く、何ともいい気分です。乗馬しながら、牧場のことなど、ガイドさんが色々と教えてくれましたが、私の語学力では半分くらいしかわからず、でも、それも我が家にとっては良い経験です。ガイドさんもこんな我が家に優しく付き合ってくれました。(ちなみに、2回目ですが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。)もしまた行けるなら90分に家族で行きたいですね。
オアフでは、他の某牧場でも乗馬したことがありますが、私達はガンストックが好きです。受付といっても小屋が一つあるだけで、西部劇の牧場のような、素朴で牧歌的な雰囲気です。あたりには、七面鳥やヤギ、犬が歩き回っていて、奥に進むと馬がたくさんいます。どれも立派な大きな馬で優しくも威厳を感じますね。2回行きましたが、いずれもスタッフは若い方ばかりでした。アメリカって感じです。

My wife has been attending a hula dance class for several years, and to experience authentic hula dancing, we decided to return to Hawaii, where we had our honeymoon, to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal. A year ago, during our stay in Hawaii, we utilized Velta's services, which made it convenient to change reservations on-site, so I booked this tour with a three-star rating domestically.
Thanks to the tour sticker on my chest at the meeting point, several crew members congratulated us as we boarded. We had a window-side table for two on the second floor (below the upper level of the five-star) with a great view, and the food was good.
During the meal, we were called and escorted to the third floor (the top floor) via the elevator, where the front of the ship served as the venue. (When we took photos with the captain during our honeymoon, it was on the outer deck, but it might have been this location due to the strong winds and occasional rain that day.) It felt a bit cramped, but the captain came to our table, which was decorated with beautiful flowers, and we made our vow renewal promises while signing a certificate in the captain's presence. I couldn't fully understand the captain's comments since they were all in English, but I managed to respond with "Yes" whenever he looked my way. However, the floor manager, who spoke broken Japanese, explained the flow of the ceremony, and we were able to take videos and photos with our own camera during the ceremony. After that, the champagne included with the tour was served, and we toasted with the captain (who mentioned that his glass contained apple juice while on board).
After the ceremony, when I mentioned that we had also boarded the Star of Honolulu for our honeymoon 20 years ago, the three people present (the captain, the floor manager, and a black-clad attendant) exclaimed "Amazing." The captain was particularly delighted, saying, "I've been the captain of this ship for 30 years, so I probably was on board 20 years ago." The black-clad attendant kept repeating "Amazing" as we returned to our table, which made our happy moment feel even more special.
We returned to our table, continued our meal while drinking champagne, and enjoyed another highlight: the beautiful Friday fireworks, which made for an unforgettable time.
After 20 years of marriage, life has been different from our newlywed days, often moving away from words like "love," but I feel that this vow renewal allowed us to remember our "beginning" as a couple. We are considering participating in this tour for our 25th and 30th anniversaries as well.
Thank you for a wonderful time.
妻がフラダンス教室に数年通い本場でフラダンスを体験するため、また、結婚20周年を迎え、バウリニューアルのために新婚旅行で訪れた同じハワイに行いきました。1年前、ハワイ滞在時にVeltaさんを活用させていただき、予約変更等も現地で行えて便利だったので、国内で本ツアーの3スターを予約しました。
集合場所でツアーを示すシールを胸に貼ったおかげで、乗船時に『Congratulations』と数名のクルーから声をかけていただきました。席は2F?(5スターの上層階の下)の窓際の二人席でとても景色が良く、料理もGoodでした。
料理の途中で呼ばれてエスコートされてエレベーターで3F(最上階)に向かい、エレベーターを降りた船の最前面の場所が会場となります。(新婚旅行の時の船長さんとの記念撮影は、外の船主の甲板デッキでしたが、この日は風が強く、時折雨も降ったので、この場所だっだのかもしれません。)少し狭い感じはしますが、きれいな花等で飾られたテーブルの前に船長さんが来ていただき、バウリニューアルの誓いや船長さん立ち合いの証明書サインをして頂きました。船長さんのコメントは全て英語のために十分に理解はできませんでしたが、船長さんが視線を向けるたびに『Yes』と言ってごまかしました。ただ、サポートいただいたフロアーマネージャー??の方が片言の日本語で流れを説明していただき、加えて式の間は私たち持参のカメラでビデオ&写真を撮っていただけました。その後このツアーに付いているシャンペンがここで登場し、船長と一緒に乾杯しました。(船長さんのグラスは乗船中のためアップルジュースと言っていました。)
式の後、20年前の新婚旅行でもスターオブホノルルに乗船した事を伝えると、立ち会っていただいた3名(船長さん、フロアーマネージャー?黒服のアテンダー)から『Amazing』と言われ、特に船長さんは『30年前から本船のキャプテンをしているので、20年前も多分私が乗船したいた』ととても喜んでくれ、加えてテーブルに戻る間も黒服のアテンダーの方も『Amazing』を連発され、私たちの幸せな時間が更に倍増した感覚でした。
テーブルに戻ってシャンペンを飲みながら食事を続け、もう一つの楽しみも『金曜日の花火』もとてもきれいで、忘れられない時間をいただけた感じです。
結婚20年もたてば新婚生活と違って『愛』のような言葉から離れた生活でしたが、今回のバウリニューアルで夫婦お互いに少なからず『初心』を思い出す事が出来たと感じています。
25、30周年記念も、このツアーに参加させていただきたいと考えています。
素晴らしい時間をありがとうございます。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are truly delighted that you chose to use our services for your vow renewal. It's amazing to hear that you also used our services for your honeymoon 20 years ago! We are very honored. We are thrilled that the Star of Honolulu has become a part of your love story!

The weather was nice, gradually turning into a beautiful sunset and then night. The atmosphere was great, the hula dance was very impressive, and the food was delicious. I was very satisfied.
天気も良くて、だんだんと夕焼けになって、夜になって、雰囲気も良くて、フラダンスがとても迫力があって、ご飯も美味しくて、大満足です。

Last time, I was so impressed that I signed up again, but the meals that were previously served at the table changed to a buffet style, and the content of the show was also lacking. I think it's time to graduate from this place.
前回、感動したのでまた申し込んだが、食事は席にサービスしていたのが、ビュッフェスタイルになり、ショーの内容もいまいちであった。もうここは卒業しようと思った。

The location was within the Royal Hawaiian Center, so it was convenient and close to the hotel where I was staying.
The show featured traditional Hawaiian dances and impersonations (?), alternating between them, and the time flew by. However, there were many songs I didn't know, so I thought it would have been better to study some songs by Michael and Presley in advance. The venue had strong air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket.
場所がロイヤルハワイアンセンター内だったので宿泊していたホテルから近く便利でした。
ショーの内容もハワイの伝統的なダンスとそっくりさんのモノマネ(?)ライブと交互にあり時間があっという間に過ぎました。
ただ知らない曲が多かったのでもう少し事前にマイケルやプレスリーの曲を勉強していけばよかったかなと思いました。
会場は冷房がかなりきいているので必ず長袖の上着を持っていくのがいいと思います。

On our honeymoon in early December, my husband and I went to see a famous rock show in Hawaii on our last night, the fourth night of our trip (^_^)☆ The show took place on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, where we enjoyed a service that included toasting with drinks and eating fruits and nuts in a stylish VIP room before the show started! If you prefer non-alcoholic drinks, just say "non-alcohol please" and you will receive a non-alcoholic option♪ Alcoholic drinks come with clear straws, while non-alcoholic drinks have red straws as a marker! After that, we moved to the venue where the show was held and enjoyed a delicious meal (´ω`). The luxurious lobster was the most impressive dish! The waitstaff were friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! The show featured impersonators of famous celebrities like Michael Jackson, and it was truly moving to see them up close! Additionally, the fire dance was also impressive! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and it was very powerful! The audience's excitement reached its peak! After the show, we had our photo taken with three celebrity impersonators by the staff! A little waiting in line for photos is all you need♪ The rock show created unforgettable memories for us (^_^)☆ I would love to participate again!
ハネムーンで12月上旬に旦那と初めてのハワイの最終日4日目の夜にハワイで有名なロックショーを観に行きました(^_^)☆ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に行われたこのショーでは、ショーが始まる前におしゃれなVIPルームでお酒で乾杯しながらフルーツやナッツを食べたりするサービスがありました!ノンアルコール希望の人はノンアルコールプリーズと言えばノンアルコールをいただけます♪アルコールの方は透明なストロー、ノンアルコールの方は赤色のストローが目印です!その後にショーが行われる会場に移動し、美味しいお食事をいただきました(´ω`)高級なロブスターが1番印象的でした!ウェイトレスさんも気さくな方が多くとても楽しかったです!ショーはマイケルジャクソンなどのそっくりな有名人さんを間近でみることができ、とても感動しました!また、ファイヤーダンスも感動しました!ファイヤーダンスも初めて観たのでとても迫力がありました!観客からの盛り上がりも最高潮に達していました!ショーが終わった後に、有名人そっくりさん3人と写真をスタッフの方に撮っていただきました!写真撮影は少し並べば大丈夫です♪ロックショでは、一生の思い出を作ることができました(^_^)☆また参加したいと思いました!

I've participated in luaus multiple times, and in just two hours, you can learn about Hawaii's history through an engaging show. An elderly American couple from the mainland celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary and came on a commemorative trip with their daughter and her husband. The husband raised his hand to report this to the host, and everyone congratulated them—typical of America! But I think there were only about two other Japanese couples besides us? We forgot that we were foreigners (laughs).
何度もルアウに参加していますが、2時間でハワイの歴史が分かる、そして飽きないショーの展開、お隣のメインランドからいらしたアメリカ人の老夫婦は、結婚45年記念に、娘さんご夫婦と記念旅行に来られたそうで、司会者に旦那様が手を挙げて報告、皆んなでおめでとうの嵐、流石アメリカだ!でも日本人は私達以外には2組ぐらいだったかな?私達が外人なのを忘れていました(笑)

After passing by Kualoa Ranch and driving for about 20 minutes, we saw a sign for "GUNSTOCK RANCH." It’s not very big, so we actually drove past it once, but as long as you don’t miss that sign, it’s easy to find.
On the day of our visit, it was just the two of us, so we enjoyed a leisurely hour of horseback riding with our guide, making a total of three of us in the peaceful ranch setting. The conversation was in English, but she was friendly and approachable. The horse was well-behaved and walked closely behind the guide’s horse, so there’s no need to worry even for beginners.
We enjoyed seeing cows and peacocks roaming freely, and there was even a cave along the way, which was fun. I’ve been to the famous Kualoa Ranch before, but I feel like at Gunstok Ranch, you can truly enjoy a full hour of horseback riding. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn’t see the ocean view below due to the cloudy weather that day. While I preferred the scenery at Kualoa Ranch, I was ultimately satisfied with the experience.
クアロア牧場を通り過ぎて20分ほど車を走らせると「GUNSTOCK RUNCH」とゆう看板が見えます。あまり大きくはないので一度通り過ぎてしまいましたが、それさえ見逃さなければ場所は分かりやすかったです。
当日は私たち2人だけだったので、ガイドさんと3人でのどかな牧場をゆったりと1時間乗馬を満喫出来ました。会話は英語のみでしたが、気軽に話しかけてくれて、優しい女性でした。馬もお利口さんだったので、ガイドさんの馬にぴったりとくっついて歩いてくれました。初心者でも全然心配いりません。
牛や孔雀が自由に歩き回っている光景を見たり、途中洞窟があったりと、楽しかったです。
有名なクアロア牧場も行ったことありますが、こちらの方が1時間きっかり乗馬を満喫できる気がします。当日の天気が曇りだったのもあるせいか、海が眼下に広がる風景が見られなかったのは残念でした。風景に関してはクアロア牧場の方が好きでしたが、結果的には満足です。

I watched my first hula show in Hawaii. Since I had the chance, I opted for the green room package with dinner. It included welcome champagne in the green room, a commemorative photo with the performers, a backstage tour, and a course meal. I think it's quite affordable at under $200 compared to other hula shows. The explanation during the backstage tour was all in English, so there were parts I didn't fully understand. I was able to watch up close, and I could feel the heat from the fire dance. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity.
ハワイで初めてフラショーを観ました。
せっかくなので、グリーンルームと料理付きにしました。
グリーンルームでのウェルカムシャンパンと出演者との記念写真、バックステージツアーにコース料理。全て含まれて200ドルしないので他のフラショーと比べても安いと思います。
バックステージツアーの説明は全部英語なので所々わからないところ有りでした。
近くで観れたので、ファイアーダンスは炎の熱を感じる程でした。
機会があればまた参加したいです。
