Oahu
My little family of 3 took a much-needed, very rare vacation for six days on Oahu, and on the final day scheduled an afternoon sailing cruise. Unfortunately our 22yo daughter was ill and unable to go along with the two of us on the Catamaran, and we were unable to get a refund for her ticket. However, I did not regret a penny we spent on the ride. The captain and crew were entertaining, and kept the beverages flowing along with the banter. They were non-intrusive when we just wanted to enjoy the view and ride, and wonderfully instructive when there were sights to see and safety precautions to take. We loved every minute, and wanted it to last much longer than it did, even though we are not boat-out-on-open-water people at all. Thank you for a wonderful end to our vacation!
We were very lucky to see whales throughout most of the tour. At least 10 sightings, usually with 2 whales at a time.
Food was delicious but it was hard to sit and enjoy your meal when you are looking for whales too. Every time someone shouted "WHALE!", everyone dropped everything but their cameras and ran towards the edge of the deck.
Luckily, there were a lot of whales out that day so I got to finish my food and saw plenty of whales.
Photos don't do justice for whale watch tours, it's better to watch with your own eyes. You don't want to be fussing over your camera because next thing you know, the whales have disappeared back underwater.
Wonderful experience, would love to go again!
The skies were grey and even with light drizzle the humpback whales were there along with the warm crew of the Star of Honolulu to greet us in Hawaii! I've never seen so many whales on one whale watch and it was my first time to see a turquoise color right next to the whale. Their white pectoral fins turns changes color underwater so it was easier to spot them this time around. The lunch on board was delicious...... The roast beef and those macadamia nut cookies keeps you going back for more. Thank you Star of Honolulu for a very stable ride and wonderful experience to see these enormous animals up so close!
Great for friends looking for a fun time & get your money's worth of booze! We got the Hibiscus package which includes 3 premium drinks.
Do not go to the bar first! Go to the gift shop, buy yourself a $10 Tiki cup and double the value of your drink tickets! I wish someone had told me that beforehand. My first drink came in a little plastic cup that was half the size of the Tiki cup (See photos).
Good food & lots of entertainment! You really feel like you crashed a local's backyard party right down to the sand caught in between your toes at this beachfront luau.
Highly recommend, would love to go again!
Aloha Dianna,
Thank you for choosing to spend your evening with us at Germaine's Luau, you could have gone anywhere else....So sorry you weren't aware of the Special with the drink glasses, as it's usually mentioned on the bus coming out to the luau, so glad you found out about it. We hope you will share your memories with your friend and family, and maybe someday come back and visit us again!! We really appreciate you posting your comments, and your photos, and if you have some time you can post it on Instagram too....#germainesluau, or #experienceohana....
Mahalo,

Our driver was amazing! He kept up a running commentary on all the best places to eat, names of plants, celebrity houses, the works. He was always willing to answer questions no matter how stupid they sounded. He gave up plenty of info on the area we would be snorkeling in and the best parts of the reef to visit. He unfortunately did not have a pair of prescription goggles that I could use (I forgot to mention when booking) but he let me know I could rent a pair at the bay to ensure that I could see all the wonders below the ocean. He also had underwater cameras for purchase which was a bonus!!!
10/10 I would totally book transportation to go snorkeling with this company again.
The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.
The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!
Highly Recommend!!
I watched the show for the first time this time.
I was able to see it from a seat right in front of the stage.
The dinner was delicious, and once the show started, I was so captivated that I forgot to breathe.
I was moved to tears.
It was the best time.
I want to come again.
今回初めてショーを観ました。
ステージ前の席で観れました。
ディナーも美味しく、ショーが始まってからは呼吸をするのを忘れてしまうほど魅了されてしまいました。
涙が出るほど感動しました。
最幸の時間。
また来たいです。
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 back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The sandbar didn't appear, and it was cold! If you're going in January, you might need to wear a wetsuit to enjoy it! Also, long sleeves and something to cover up are a must!
However, at the snorkeling spots, the cold disappeared, and I was able to observe the fish closely! The snorkeling staff were very kind and considerate, which was great!
Since the only drinks available were carbonated, if you're not a fan, it's better to bring your own water or tea! Also, for those with children, I recommend bringing something to eat for when they can't have a meal!
Participating in the tour became a wonderful memory thanks to the consideration of the guides!
サンドバーもあらわれず、寒いっ‼︎
1月に行かれる方はウェットスーツを着ないと楽しめないかも!あとは長袖と羽織るもの必須!
だけどもシュノーケルをするところでは、寒さがなくなり、魚をじっくり見れました!
シュノーケルの方々は凄く優しいですし、気遣ってくれてよかったです!
飲み物が炭酸しかないので苦手な方は水やお茶を持参した方がよいです!あとは子供連れの方は食べれない時に何か持っていくことをオススメします!
ツアー参加はツアーを案内してくれた方々の気遣いで良い思い出にはなりました!
I thought it was a sandbar, but the tide came in, and it turned into just a sandy shallow area. Given the season, it was cold just to have my feet in the water, so in the end, I went in the sea a bit and then waited on the boat. It should be mentioned in advance that this only happens during low tide, or that it will turn into a sandy shallow area.
サンドバーだと思ったら、潮が満ちて、単なる砂地の浅瀬になってた。季節柄、足だけ浸かってると寒いし、結局ちょっと海に入って後は船上で待機。引き潮の時に限るか、砂地の浅瀬になるということを事前に言っておくべき。
- The weather was cloudy, but when the sun broke through, the color of the sea changed dramatically and was beautiful.
- I participated in January, and it was very cold with strong winds. Warm clothing is a MUST.
- Reef shoes are convenient to have.
- I thought the prices were a bit high for what was offered.
・天気が曇っていたのですが、晴れ間が指したときに、海の色が一気に変わって綺麗でした。
・1月に参加しましたが、風が強く、非常に寒かったです。防寒着はMUSTです。
・リーフシューズがあると便利です
・料金については内容については少し高いかなと思いました
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. January is winter, so even though Hawaii has a tropical image, it can feel cold when you're right in the middle of the ocean. Thank you for your advice regarding the tour. The contrast of the sea colors on a sunny day is exceptional! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 一月は冬ですので、常夏のイメージがあるハワイですが、海のど真ん中にいると寒く感じることもありますよね。ツアーへのアドバイスありがとうございます。晴れ間の海の色のコントラストは格別ですよね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I joined on January 24th (Thursday) because I wanted to see whales. Unfortunately, on this day, the whales only showed themselves briefly above the water. We were able to see them six times, but each time they only appeared for about 5 to 6 seconds after spouting water, revealing a bit of their backs, and finally showing their tails above the water before diving down. Like other reviews, I wasn't able to see them jump high.
Aside from the whales, dolphins jumped right next to the boat. They didn't perform the typical front flips you see at aquariums, but instead, they showed us two sideways twists like gymnast Kohei Uchimura.
After the boat left the port, it rained lightly for about ten minutes, and after taking shelter on the third deck, when we returned to the rooftop, a rainbow appeared across the sea, 180 degrees opposite the sun. Since we were on the water, there was nothing to obstruct the rainbow, creating a stunning view of vibrant colors from one side of the water to the other.
1月24日(木曜日) クジラを見たくて参加しました。
この日のクジラは、あいにく少ししか海上に姿を現しませんでした。回数では6回見ることができましたが、いずれも潮を噴き上げてから約5,6秒後に背中を少し現し、最後はテールを上(海上)に出して沈んで行きました。他の口コミ同様、大きくジャンプする姿を見ることはできませんでした。
クジラ以外ではイルカが船のすぐ横で海上をジャンプしてくれました。水族館で見せてくれるような前周りでは無く、体操の白井選手のような横ひねりを2回見せてくれました。
船が港を出港した後に10分くらい小雨が降り、屋上デッキから3階へ避難した後に屋上に戻ってくると、太陽と反対側海上180度に渡り虹が姿を現しました。海上なので虹を遮るものが無く、水面から反対の水面まで七色にすばらしい光景を見せてくれました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on board when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
On January 25th (Friday), I participated in the "Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Majestic with Live Music and Buffet/Fireworks Viewing + All-You-Can-Eat Appetizers (with Free Drinks) <Friday Only/Participation until March 31, 2019>" course with a group of seven. It was everyone's first time participating.
Before boarding, we presented the WEB voucher (coupon) displayed on our smartphones at the office on the pier to obtain our boarding tickets.
After boarding, we were welcomed with champagne, and then asked about the number of people in our group, after which we were assigned a table.
Once seated, a staff member came to take our drink orders within 5 to 10 minutes. At this time, we were informed that alcohol was not included in the free drinks. I mistakenly thought that while drinks were free, alcohol would incur a charge due to my reservation.
After ordering a bottle of wine and beer, I checked the WEB voucher on my smartphone again and saw that it stated "Free Alcohol." I then filed a complaint and had all the alcohol provided for free.
If the voucher had been in paper form like in the past, it would have been collected at check-in on the pier, and I wouldn't have been able to file a complaint on board.
Unfortunately, due to cloudy weather, we couldn't see the sunset, but the meal was decent. The live music was good.
In addition to the above, I would like to mention the following:
During the live performance, there was a dance time, but it was held at the entrance of the live music floor (2nd floor), making it inconvenient to move between floors. I thought the live music should be on the opposite side.
Since we were a group of seven, we did not use the shuttle service from the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Hotel (which costs $15 per person round trip, additional charge) and instead took a taxi from the hotel. The fare to the pier was $38 (including tip) due to evening traffic, and the return trip was $24 (including tip). A taxi can accommodate five passengers in its three-row seating.
The Majestic is docked at "Aloha Tower Marketplace Pier 6. It is located on the right side when walking east along Ala Moana Boulevard from Aloha Tower." This information was correct, but we got a bit lost on-site. The reason was that the ship's operating company, "ATLANTIC CRUISES," was prominently displayed on the hull, but we didn't pay attention to the company name and took a while to notice the smaller "MAJESTIC" written elsewhere. Google Maps directed us to the west side of the Star of Honolulu. Ultimately, we were guided by the office of the Star of Honolulu.
インターネットを利用して1月25日(金曜日)に「サンセット・ディナークルーズ マジェスティック号 生演奏とビュッフェ付き/花火鑑賞+アペタイザー食べ放題(フリードリンク付き)<金曜日限定/2019年3月31日までのご参加>コースに7名で参加しました。全員が今回初めての参加です。
船の出航前に桟橋のオフィスにおいて、スマートフォンに記載されている WEBヴァウチャー(クーポン券)を提示して乗船券を入手しました。
乗船後、ウェルカムシャンパンをいただき、続いてグループの人数を質問され、着席するテーブルを指定されました。
テーブルに着席後、担当者が5~10分でドリンクの注文に現れました。この際にアルコールは有料であると案内されました。この時は予約を確保した私の間違いで、フリードリンクだがアルコールは有料なのかと思ってしまいました。
ボトルワインやビールを注文した後に、今一度スマートフォンに記載されているWEBヴァウチャーを確認すると「Free Alcohol」と記載されています。そこで、クレームを申し出てアルコールをすべて無料にしていただきました。
WEBヴァウチャーで無く、昔のように紙媒体のヴァウチャーであったなら桟橋のチェックイン時に紙は回収されており、船内でクレームを申し出ることができなかったと思います。
あいにくの曇り空でサンセットは見えませんでしたが、食事はまずまずでした。
生演奏は良かったです。
上記以外に下記をご案内させていただきます。
生演奏最中にダンスタイムがあるのですが、生演奏フロア(2階)の出入り口で行っている為に他のフロアへの出入りに不便です。反対側で生演奏すべきと思いました。
我々は7名で参加しましたので、ハイアットリージェンシーワイキキホテルからの送迎(お一人往復$15。別料金。)は利用せず。ホテルからタクシーを利用しました。往路は夕方の渋滞料金で一台$38(チップ込)、帰路は一台$24(チップ込)。タクシーは3列シートなので一台で5名乗車できます。
マジェスティック号は「アロハタワー・マーケットプレース・ピア6に係留されています。アロハタワーからアラモアナ通りに沿って東に向かって歩き右側にあります。」と案内されています。この案内に間違いありませんでしたが我々は現地で少し迷いました。その理由は、船体に大きく船の運航会社である「ATLANTIC CRUISES」と記載されているのですが、船会社に注目していなかった為、別の所に小さい文字で「MAJESTIC」と記載されていることになかなか気づきませんでした。グーグル地図ではスターオブホノルル号の西側を案内します。最終的にはスターオブホノルルの事務所で教えていただきました。
アロハ、私たちとレビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。
あなたの体験が期待以下であったことを知り、とても残念に思います。
貴重なフィードバックを感謝し、チームと共有いたします。さらなるご意見をお伺いするために、連絡可能なメールアドレスまたは電話番号を教えていただけますか?

Aloha, thank you for taking time to share your review with us.
We are very disappointed to learn that your experience was less than exceptional.
We appreciate your valuable feedback and will share it with our team. Please provide an email address and/or phone number you can be reached at in order to further discuss and address your concerns.
Mahalo!
It seemed that there were strict distance regulations for approaching the whales, so we couldn't see them up close, but we did catch glimpses a few times. I took my 5-year-old child with me, but the whale sightings were brief and unpredictable, which made it a bit boring for them. We also saw a double rainbow.
クジラへの接近は距離が厳しく決まっていそうでしたので、それほど間近では見れませんが何度か見れました。
5歳の子供を連れて行ってましたが、クジラが見れても一瞬で、どこに出現するかもわからないので少し退屈しておりました。
あとダブルレインボーが見れました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on board when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The unlimited rides are a lot of fun, but they were more intense than I expected, so the kids only enjoyed the wave pool! If you have a group that loves thrills, I think they'll be very satisfied! The park mainly offers carbonated drinks. There is water available, but for those who prefer tea, it's better to bring a bottle since you can bring one from home!
乗り放題で凄く楽しいけど、思っていたより激しめのため、子供達は波のプールくらいしか楽しんでいませんでした!
激しいのが好きなグループなら、すきすきなので大満足だと思います!
パーク内は炭酸飲料ばかり。水はあるけど、お茶派はペットボトル1本持ち込み可なので持ち込んだ方がベターです!
I compared various tours to the sandbar, and I was very satisfied with the experience. The tour included a sandbar visit, a hamburger lunch, sea turtle observation, and snorkeling points where I could enjoy the sea filled with many sea turtles, fish, and coral reefs.
サンドバーに行くツアーをいろいろ比較検討しましたが、サンドバー、ハンバーガーのランチ、海ガメ観察、スノーケリングポイントで海ガメや魚やサンゴ礁がたくさんの海を堪能できて、大満足でした。
Due to the large number of participants on the day of the tour, we were picked up by a large sightseeing bus. As a result, it didn't arrive at the meeting time, and I had to confirm by phone (the communication was in English, but they responded in simple English when I mentioned my name).
The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, and the airflow adjustment was broken. It would be better to have a light long-sleeve shirt.
When we arrived at the port, there was a toilet traffic jam, but they waited until the last person came out. (There are also toilets on the boat.) A very cheerful Black guide and a small, energetic Japanese guide provided explanations.
At the sandbar, there was a volleyball net set up, and we could play freely. It was a pity that there was only one ball...
Lunch was described as BBQ, but it was a hamburger made with meat patties grilled on the boat and served in a bun! It was quite filling, and if there were leftovers, you could get seconds!
We were able to see 7 to 9 sea turtles even in mid-January!
After snorkeling, warm drinks were provided, making it a very satisfying day.
*There is no place to change into swimsuits, so I recommend changing early on the boat's deck or in the restroom!
当日のツアー人数が多かったためなのか、大型の観光バスでのpickupでした。そのため集合時間になっても来ず、電話で確認しました(英語でののやり取りでしたが、名前を言うと簡単な英語で回答して下さいました。)
バスの中は冷房ガンガンで風量調整も壊れてました。薄手の長袖があるとベターです。
港に着くとトイレ渋滞が発生しましたが、最後の人が出てくるまで待ってくれます。(船にもトイレあります)
とても陽気な黒人ガイドさんと小柄で元気いっぱいの日本人ガイドさんが説明して下さいました。
サンドバーではバレーのネットが設置されており自由に遊ぶことができます。
ボールが1個しかなかったのが残念…。。
昼食はBBQと記載がありましたが、船で焼いたお肉のパティをパンで挟んで食べるハンバーガーでした!結構ボリュームもありましたが、余りがあればおかわりもできます‼︎‼︎
ウミガメは1月中旬でも7〜9匹見ることができました‼︎
シュノーケリング後、温かい飲み物も用意されており大満足の一日でした。
※水着を着替えるところはないので、船のデッキかトイレで早めに着替えることをお勧めします!
3 of us decided we wanted to do something different rather than having dinner at a nice restaurant, and this combination dinner and cruise fit the bill. The food was excellent, both the steak and the crab legs were fabulous, and we had an awesome view from our window-adjacent table. The entertainment on board was amusing, it added a great vibe to the dinner. The duration of the cruise from start to finish was just right - enough time to have a leisurely dinner, enjoy a show, watch the fireworks, and then return back to land. Just perfect, I highly recommend!
It was okay. I saw about five whales, but I was hoping to see them jump high, so I was a bit disappointed. Well! Since the subject is large and it's a living creature, I can't be too picky... I went with my 6-year-old daughter, but we didn't feel like saying, "Let's go again!"
まあまあかな。
5回ぐらいクジラは見えましたが、大きくジャンプする所を期待していたので、少しガッカリ感もありました。
まあ!対象物が大きいし、生物相手なのでワガママは言えませんが…
6歳の娘と行きましたが、また行こう!とはなりませんでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry to hear that you were not able to enjoy it fully this time.
Our entire staff will strive to provide a cruise that everyone can enjoy. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

As I imagined, the sandbar was indeed affected by the weather... However, the staff members who joined us on the boat were very cheerful, and we were able to have a great time!
想像通り、サンドバーは天気に左右されるなぁと感じました…
でも、内容も一緒に船に乗ったスタッフの方々もとても明るい方々で楽しむことができました!
There are plenty of attractions, and there are areas where small children can have fun, so we were able to play all day! The wave pool and slides are especially enjoyable for both adults and kids! Unfortunately, some attractions were not in operation, and the one I wanted to ride the most was closed, which left me a bit disappointed. I recommend it for families with children, as it offers a safe environment to play, unlike the beach!
アトラクションも沢山あり、小さな子供も楽しめるエリアもあり一日中遊べました!特に波のプールやスライダーは大人も子供も楽しめます!残念だったのは運営してないアトラクションもあって、1番乗りたかったものがクローズでしたので少し心残りです。子連れの方には海とは違い安心して遊べるのでおススメです!
The crew was engaging in conversation the whole time, and it was lively and fun on the ship! They took many friendly photos with us in the sea, creating unforgettable memories! The BBQ that was prepared in advance was incredibly delicious, and I went back for seconds! I highly recommend participating!
クルーの皆さんが終始会話をして下さり船の中もワイワイと楽しかったです!海の中では気さくに写真もたくさん撮って頂き、一生に残る思い出が出来ました!あらかじめ焼いているBBQも凄く美味しくておかわりしました!ぜひ参加をおススメします!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. What a wonderful photo!! Thank you for sharing. The color of the sky during this time is truly beautiful!! We all look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 素晴らしい写真ですね!!シェアありがとうございます。この時期の空の色は、本当に綺麗!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I wasn't able to swim with the sea turtles, but I was really happy to see so many of them. The staff members were all very nice, and I had a great time. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, with the patty freshly grilled. The sandbar was shallow, about knee-deep. I would like to visit again during a time when the tide is completely out. I wasn't very lucky with the snorkeling, as the water was murky and not very clear, but I could see colorful fish and coral reefs quite well.
ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐまでは出来なかったがたくさん見れて嬉しかった。スタッフの方々も良い方ばかりで楽しめた。ランチのハンバーガーもパティ焼き立てで美味しかった。サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらい。完全に潮が引く時期にも行ってみたい。シュノーケルは運が悪かったのか水が濁っていてあまりキレイとは言えなかったがカラフルな魚やサンゴ礁はよく見えた。
The blue sky and blue sea, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head – we had a fantastic cruising experience in the best location! The interior of the boat is quite cold, so a jacket is essential. When you go out on deck, the sun is strong, so I recommend bringing a hat and sunglasses. The wind is strong, so be careful not to lose anything.
As for the whale watching, we did see some spouts from a distance. You can see them with the naked eye, but it's difficult to capture them in photos.
青い空に青い海、ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドと最高のロケーションでクルージングが出来ました!
船内はとても冷えているので上着は必須です。デッキに出れば日差しが強いので帽子とサングラスがあれば良いかと思います。風は強いので飛ばないように。
目的のホエールウォッチングは見れたと言えば見れました。割と遠めに潮吹きが何度かあって、目視はできるけど、写真に収めるのは難しいです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship. On certain days, you can even witness the spectacular jumps of whales, so we hope you will come back to search for those whales again. All of our staff look forward to your next visit.

There is a shuttle service to nearby hotels, so it's安心 at night. The appetizer buffet came with free drinks, and while the buffet was on the second floor, we were on the third floor, which had a great view. There weren't many types of appetizers, but it was fine since we had eaten a little beforehand. The beer, sparkling wine, and wine were all-you-can-drink, which was a great deal. The staff was friendly, coming to take our orders and even taking photos for us. We could also access the second floor, where we could listen to live music. The sunset was beautiful.
近くのホテルへの送迎があるので,夜も安心。フリードリンク付きのアペタイザー食べ放題でしたが,ビュッフェの人は2階で,我々は3階で,景色が良く見えて良かったです。アペタイザーはあまり種類がありませんが,ちょっと食べてから行ったので問題なし。ビールやスパークリングワイン,ワインなどは飲み放題だったのでお得でした。スタッフは気持よくオーダーを取りに来てくれたり,写真を撮ってくれたり,親切でした。2階にも入れるので,生演奏も聞くことができました。夕日がきれいでした。
アロハ、レビューとVELTRAを通じてアトランティスアペタイザークルーズツアーをご予約いただきありがとうございます。マジェスティック号でのクルーズを楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しいです。ご意見をいただき感謝し、またお会いできることを願っています。マハロ!
Aloha, thank you for your review and for booking an Atlantis Appetizer Cruise tour through VELTRA. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your cruise aboard the Majestic. We appreciate your feedback and hope you can join us again soon. Mahalo!
On January 14th, I went with my family of four (including a 2.5-year-old boy). It was a weekday, so we had unlimited rides! The place was smaller than I expected, so we were able to enjoy everything comfortably. Our favorite was the four-person Tornado. Riding with four people was definitely more dynamic and fun than riding with just two.
After lunch, the parents got tired, so the kids went sliding by themselves, and they also participated in the $5 bodyboarding, which was a lot of fun to film. It seemed like they enjoyed it as they got better with each attempt! The next day, they mentioned having sore arms (laughs). The height restrictions were quite lenient, and even a child who was 126 cm tall could ride the Shaka, but it was a bit risky at that angle. It was a bit nerve-wracking!
I'm glad we went, but I think once is enough for me. The kids might want to go again, though.
1月14日、家族4人(2.5年男子)と行って来ました。平日で乗り放題!思ったより小さいので、余裕で回れました。4人乗りのトルネードがお気に入りです。2人で乗るより4人で乗った方が断然、ダイナミックになり楽しかったです。
昼食後、親は疲れてしまって、子供達だけで滑りに行ってもらったり、一人5ドルのボディーボードに参加してもらい撮影を楽しみました。
何回も挑戦するうちに乗れるようになり楽しかったようです!次の日、腕が筋肉痛と言っていましたが(笑)身長制限はゆるゆるで126センチの子供もシャカ乗れましたが、あれば角度が危ない。ヒヤヒヤしました〜
行って良かったです。でも、2回目はもう
いいかな。子供は行きたいかもだけれど。
This was my first time participating. I chose this dinner cruise because I wanted to experience an overseas atmosphere, and there were fewer Japanese people on it. The content of the cruising was as I imagined; we enjoyed a buffet at the beginning and then each of us enjoyed the scenery, as well as Hawaiian dance and music at the bar. The taste of the food was just average.
The problem was the shuttle service to the hotel. We were staying at the Prince Waikiki, and during the pickup, we were the first to be picked up, followed by stops at other hotels. Considering that they drive on the right side and the route to the destination, it was a logical order. However, on the way back, we passed by the Prince Waikiki first but for some reason, we just went straight past it. In the end, we were left until the very last, and ultimately dropped off about 100 meters away from the Prince Waikiki, being told to walk back. It didn’t make sense since other hotels were dropped off at their pickup locations.
Additionally, it seemed that the arrangements for the return bus were poor, and we had to wait for about 30 minutes. Because of that, what was supposed to be a tour ending at 7:30 PM ended up with us getting back to the hotel at 9 PM. Given that this tour operates daily, the poor arrangements and inefficient shuttle route make it hard to recommend. It might be better to meet on-site. I will not participate in this tour again.
今回初めて参加しました。海外の雰囲気を感じたかったので、日本人が少ないこのディナークルーズを選びました。クルージングの中身については想像通りで、最初にビュッフェを楽しんであとはそれぞれ景色を見たり、バーでハワイアンダンスやハワイアンミュージックを楽しむ内容でした。料理の味は普通といったところ。
問題はホテルまでの送迎サービスでした。
私たちはプリンスワイキキに宿泊していたのですが、迎えの時は最初にピックアップされて他のホテルを回るルート。右側通行であること、目的地へのルートを考えると合理的な順番です。そう考えると、帰りのルートはプリンスワイキキを1番最初に通過するのですが、なぜかそのまま真横を通過。結局最後まで残されて、挙げ句の果てにプリンスワイキキから100メートルほど離れたところに降ろされて、あとは歩いて帰れと言われる。他のホテルはピックアップした場所で下ろしているのに意味が分からない。
この日はさらに、帰りのバスの段取りが悪かったようで30分ほど待たされる。
それも重なり19時30分に終了するツアーのはずが、ホテルに帰り着いたのは21時でした。
毎日運行しているツアーなのに段取りが悪い点や非効率的な送迎ルートを考えるとあまりおすすめはしません。
現地集合がいいかもしれませんね。
私はもうこのツアーには参加しません。
アロハ、私たちとレビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。あなたの体験が期待以下であったことを知り、とても残念に思います。貴重なフィードバックを感謝し、チームと共有いたします。マハロ!
Aloha, thank you for taking time to share your review with us. We are very disappointed to learn that your experience was less than exceptional. We appreciate your valuable feedback and will share it with our team. Mahalo!
We went as a family. There was a campaign where one child could enter for free with two adults, which made it a great deal. There was another company offering the same discount tour, but it seemed you couldn't apply at the last minute, so I was happy that Veltra allowed applications until 5:00 PM the day before. Perhaps because it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and we could slide on almost everything with just a little wait. However, we couldn't do surfing or bodyboarding due to the wait times and the schedule, and it was disappointing that there was one slide that wasn't operating. For lunch, we bought pizza and fries, which were delicious. My children are in elementary and middle school, but there were plenty of places for younger kids to enjoy as well.
家族で行きました。大人二人に対して子供一人分がが無料になるキャンペーンがありお得に行けました。もう一社同じ割引のツアーがありましたが、直前では申し込めないようで、ベルトラさんは前日17:00まで申し込めて嬉しかったです。平日だからか空いていて少し並べば滑れるもの殆どで、サーフィンかボディボードが出来るようなものは待ち時間がある為、集合時間の関係で出来なかったことと、ひとつ動いていないスライダーがあった点は残念でした。お昼はピザやポテトを買って食べましたが美味しかったです。我が家の子供は小中学生でしたが、もっと小さいお子さんも楽しめる場所も沢山ありました。
The venue was not as large as I expected, but it was an impressive show where the dancers were clearly visible. However, there were notes on the voucher regarding dress code, stating that T-shirts were not allowed and long pants were required, yet most people were dressed in shorts and sandals. While a collared shirt was worn on top, I believe it would have been better if the guidelines had specified that collared shirts were acceptable and that any pants except swimwear were allowed.
会場が思ったほど広くなく、ダンサーが良く見え迫力満点のショーでした ただ、服装の関係でTシャツNG・長ズボンなど注意点がバウチャーに記載されていましたが、ほとんどの人は短パン・サンダルの格好であった。
上着は襟付きシャツでしたが・・
格式あるショーであると思いますが、記載の際に上着襟付きならOK・ズボンは水着以外OKとの記載でもよかったのではと思いました
The Rock of Ages show was my first time attending, and it was truly high in entertainment value and wonderful! Since I love shows, I didn't hesitate to choose the VIP course with a backstage tour. It was a very interesting experience, as we received explanations just for the two of us in a private setting, and we got to take photos on stage! I was also happy to have a big commemorative photo with Elvis. The meal was satisfying and filling, and our seats were front and center! I couldn't ask for more! If I have the chance, I definitely want to go again!
ロックアフラショー♫初めての参加でしたが、ショーは本当にエンターテイメント性が高く素晴らしかったです!元々ショー好きなので、迷わずバックステージツアー付きのVIPコースにしました。貸切で2人で説明を受けたり、ステージで写真を撮っていただいたり、とても興味深い経験ができました!エルビスとの大きな記念写真付きなのも嬉しかったです♫食事もお腹いっぱい満足で座席はセンター1番前♫言うことなしです!機会があればぜひまた行きたいと思います!
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 back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
This was my second time since last year, but there were significantly fewer activities that my 6-year-old could participate in, leaving me feeling somewhat unsatisfied. We were able to rent a cabana on-site. The meeting point was also hard to find, and they were definitely late, which made me feel very anxious. I'm looking forward to next year.
去年からの2回目でしたが、6歳の子供ができるものがかなり減っていて、物足りなさが残ってしまいました。カバナは現地で借りることができました。集合場所もわかりにくく、時間通りになるは勿論来ないので、とても不安な気持ちになりました。来年に期待です。
