Oahu
I participated on my last night in Hawaii. I was torn between the Polynesian Center and Hilton, but considering the fatigue of my elderly parents, I chose Hilton. I also considered Golden Circle, but I was glad I chose Hilton since we arrived a bit late and still got pretty good seats. The show was decent (the Polynesian show I saw in Guam might have been better…). However, it was only in English, so I didn’t understand the talk very well. The meal was a buffet, and the flavors suited Japanese tastes, so I felt comfortable eating everything. It included two drinks, and the price seemed reasonable. Overall, it was very good.
ハワイ最後の夜に参加しました。ポリネシアセンターと迷いましたが、高齢の両親と一緒なので
移動の疲れを考えてヒルトンにしました。ゴールデンサークルも迷ったけど、少し遅れて到着しても結構良い席だったので選んでよかったです。ショーはそこそこよかったです(グアムで見たポリネシアンショーの方がよかったかも…)ただ英語オンリーなのでトークはよくわかりませんでした。食事はブッフェですが、日本人の口に合う味でどの料理も安心して食べられました。
2ドリンク付きだし、価格はこんなものでしょうか。総合的にとてもよかったです。
We went to Hawaii as a family of four. Since our kids prefer the pool over the ocean, we spent the whole day playing there. The variety of slide pools made the kids very happy. There are attractions that you can't find in Japan, so I think it's worth a visit for families with small children. However, closing at around 3:30 PM seems a bit early, doesn't it?
家族4人でハワイに行ってきました。子供が海よりプールが好きなので、1日遊んできました。
スライダープールの種類が多いので、子供は大喜びでした。日本にはないタイプのアトラクションもあるので小さな子供がいる家族連れなら行く価値はあると思います。ただ、15時半頃閉園というのは少し早いのでは?
I went with my son. When he was three years old, he couldn't ride the slides, but this time he was able to play on almost all of them, so we were satisfied. I think it's a facility that children over 122 cm can enjoy.
息子と2人で行きました。
3歳の頃はスライダー類は乗れませんでしたが、今回はほぼ全てのスライダーで遊べたので満足です。
122cm以上の子供さんが行くと楽しめる施設かなと思います。
I participated in the morning session with three friends. Most of the other participants were Japanese as well.
On the boat, there were thorough explanations about the direction to see sea turtles and how to snorkel at the sandbar, making it a fun experience that exceeded the cost of the tour. If the timing is right, it seems the sandbar also appears above the water's surface, so I think it's worth experiencing at least once if you go to Oahu.
午前の回に友人3人と参加しました。まわりの参加者もほぼ日本人でした。
船上ではウミガメの見える方角や、サンドバーについてからのシュノーケリングの方法など、アクティビティの説明もしっかりとあり、ツアー金額以上に楽しい体験ができました。時期が合えばサンドバーも海面に顔を出しているようですし、オアフ島に行くなら一度は体験してみるのもいいと思います。
We were visiting Hawaii with three girls - ages 8, 8 & 10. They love water parks and we wanted a day away from the usual things, so we booked the deluxe package at Wet'n' Wild. The bus pick-up was convenient and on time. Upon arrival, there is some disorganization, and they have to "unload" and "check-in" the buses one by one. After this 15 minute delay, we were given tote bags (fairly decent logo shopping bags, that can hold a towel and some clothes) and the park was open! We had a delightful "private body board lesson", which is essentially private access to the wave pool for 30 minutes...well worth it! The rides are as advertised, very good to excellent for water parks. If you like big drops, Flyin' Hawaiian is it! The barbecue that is included is worth it: good salad, fruit, hot dogs, barbecue chicken and beef strips, all all you can eat. THIS IS A BIG DEAL, AS YOU CANNOT BRING FOOD INTO THE PARK, AND IF YOU HAVE TO BUY ANYTHING, THE LINES ARE LONG AND YOU WILL SPEND $15-20 FOR FRIES AND A BURGER. The unlimited soft drinks are a great deal also (you go to the "receipts" line at the snack bar and skip the big line to buy things...and it is all you can drink...be sure to grab one for the road). You will need a locker ($14-19, you get $5 back), but all else is included. A very enjoyable day, and a good deal for the price. It is very much worth paying the premium for the deluxe package.
Fantastic. We were made to feel Welcome to the Beautiful Island. The presentation
was very authentic performed with passion. We really felt as if The Chief had gathered
the best of the best to reflect the special times of island life. The venue is the perfect
size and the interaction during the Meet & Greet time with games and conversation
could only be described as welcomed interaction.
Thank You for the pride of heritage and reality in which all was presented.
Gorgeous view of the bay behind the Stage complimented the performance of these
proud islanders.
Thank You
One of the best experiences we had during our visit and made for a very memorable 20th anniversary!
The sandbar is a very special experience. If you haven't been, I think you should go. However, your back can get really sunburned, especially with snorkeling, so I recommend wearing not just sunscreen but also a shirt that can get wet. The hamburgers you eat on the boat are also very delicious. I think it's because it's such a special experience. I highly recommend it.
Also, since the sea is deep at first at the sandbar, if you want to take photos, you need to take precautions like putting your camera in a waterproof bag. I wanted to take pictures, but I was scared of dropping it in the sea, so I regret not being able to take any.
Lastly, there is no Japanese explanation on the bus to the sandbar, so those who are not good at English might feel a bit anxious, but don't worry. Once the tour starts, there will be a Japanese guide, so you can feel at ease. At this time, you can still enjoy the night, so I think it's a good tour to make the most of your day.
サンドバーはとても特別な体験です。もし行ってない人がいれば行くといいと思います。ただシュノーケル含めて背中がものすごく焼けてしまうので日焼け止めだけでなく濡れてもいいシャツなど着て行った方がいいと思います。また船でたべるハンバーガーがとても美味しいです。特別な体験だからだと思います。とてもおすすめです。
あと、サンドバーは最初海が深いので写真を撮りたい人は防水の袋に入れるなどの対応が必要です。写真撮りたかったけど海で落とすのが怖くて写真を撮れなかったのが心残りです。
最後に行きのバスでは日本語の説明がないので英語が苦手な方は少し不安になるかもしれませんがご安心ください。ツアーが始まれば日本語のガイドも付きますので安心です。この時間だとまだまだ夜も遊べますので1日有効に使う意味でもよいツアーだと思います。
This was our second time on this tour, it's beautiful.
Thank you for joining us again! We love sharing our beautiful ocean. Much Aloha!
Last time, I chose the all-you-can-eat BBQ plan, and honestly, I thought I didn't need the BBQ plan, so I switched to this plan. However, I still think bodyboarding is necessary. It's not possible with this plan... I don't need the all-you-can-eat option, but I do want to go bodyboarding.
前回は食べ放題BBQプランにして正直BBQプランはいらないなと思い、こちらのプランに変更しました。 しかしやはりボディーボードは必要ですね。このプランでは出来ないので・・
食べ放題はいらないですが、ボディーボードはやりたいです。
I participated with my husband. All the attractions were so much fun that we were running around trying to experience everything. We rode the Tornado at least six times!
Since it was a tour, we could enter before the general public and reserve seats (make sure to grab a covered seat in front of the wave pool!). We were able to ride multiple times before it got crowded, so it was definitely worth participating.
The all-you-can-drink option might not be necessary! There were only drinks like cola, Sprite, and some sweet or sour beverages, so bringing a bottle of water is sufficient. We love carbonated drinks, so we drank a lot.
As for food, as others have mentioned, it is on the expensive side, around 8 to 10 dollars each! But theme parks in Japan are usually pricey too, so it's about the same. The taste was good! We had pizza and spring rolls.
During lunchtime, there can be lines, so it's a good idea to adjust your timing, or you can have so much fun that you might not even need to eat lunch!
There are height restrictions for small children, but everyone seemed to be having a great time! Surprisingly, adults might enjoy it even more!
The tour guides were nice, and the park staff were friendly too! The park isn't very large, so you can conquer everything. The timing was just right, and the facilities were clean.
It was really fun!
旦那と2人で参加しました。とにかくすべてのアトラクションが面白く全部制覇しようとずっと走り回ってました。特にトルネードは6回は乗りました♪笑
ツアーだとチケット購入がない為、一般の方より先に入れてくれるし、先に席取りはできるし(波のプール前の屋根付き席ゲットすべし♪)、混雑前に何回も乗れるので参加して良かったです。
飲み放題はあってもなくてもいいかも!コーラ、スプライト、甘い?酸っぱい?飲み物ぐらいしかないので、水だけは1本持ってけるのでそれでも十分かと♪私達は炭酸好きなので飲みまくりました。
ご飯は皆さんの書き込み通り高めです。1個8~10ぐらい!でも日本でもテーマパークって大体高めなのでこんなもんかと。味は美味しかったですよ!ピザと春巻き食べました♪
昼時は並びますので、時間をずらしたり、もはや昼ごはん食べなくても平気なぐらい遊びまくれます♪
小さいお子さんは身長制限もありますが、みんな楽しそうでしたよ♪でも、大人の方が意外と楽しんじゃうかも♪笑
ツアーの人もいい人ですし、パークの方も優しかったですよ!
パークはそんなに広くないので、逆に全部制覇できます。時間もちょうどいいです。
施設もきれいです。
本当楽しかったのです♪笑
The first tour of the day was fully booked (due to low tide), so I joined the lunch and snorkeling package. The sandbar had water up to my knees, which was nice for a while. The snorkeling afterwards was even better than I expected, as I got to enjoy a variety of fish and even saw a sea turtle, which was amazing.
朝一番のツアーが一杯だったので(干潮時間)、ランチ、シュノーケリング付に参加。サンドバーはひざ下くらいの水でしばし鑑賞。その後のシュノーケリングは、思ったよりもいろいろな魚を楽しめ、ウミガメにも会えて最高でした。
Too many people snorkeling in the same area, the snorkeling spot was horrible, not too many tropical fish and the water was murky. Definitely not what they advertise. Bathrooms were old and dirty and the smell was pretty bad. On the other hand, sandbar was good and the staff was friendly but we would not recommend this snorkeling tour to anybody.
I heard it would be rocky, and it really is, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please take some medication before going. There were about 5-6 people from America, 2 from Europe, and around 6 Japanese participants. At first, it shakes quite a bit, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but it calms down towards the end. The staff engages with you, so you can really enjoy the travel atmosphere. They also speak some simple English, so it's recommended for those who want to feel like they're having fun locally. Lastly, the sunset is very beautiful. By the way, if you want a proper meal, you might want to reconsider, as it's just light snacks.
揺れると聞いていましたが、本当に揺れますので酔い止めが必要な人は飲んで行ってください。アメリカの方々?が5〜6 ヨーローッパ2名 日本人6名くらいで参加しました。最初は結構揺れるのでドキドキですが最後の方は穏やかです。スタッフの方々が話しかけてくれるので旅行気分がかなり味わえます。
簡単な英語も話してくれるので現地で遊んでいる感覚が欲しい人にはオススメです。最後にサンセットはとても綺麗です。ちなみにちゃんと食事したい人はやめた方がいいかもしれません。軽食です。
I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and the crew's performance was amazing! Occasionally, it turns into a club on the boat, haha. It seems that some people experienced seasickness, so let's make sure to take proper precautions before going! I've heard there are seasickness bands available now!
イルカもウミガメもみれたし、クルーのパフォーマンスには圧巻!たまーに船上のクラブと化します笑
船酔いするかたもいたようなので、しっかりと対策をしてからいきましょう!!最近は船酔いバンドなるものもあるみたいです!
The view was amazing! The crew was very energetic, and the mood was fantastic! The hamburger for lunch was also very delicious! The guide was thoughtful and took a lot of pictures, so it became a wonderful memory even after returning!
最高な景色でした!クルーの皆さんもとってもテンション高くて気分はサイコー!
昼食のハンバーガーもとっても美味しかった!
ガイドさんが気を使ってくれて写真をいっぱいとってくれたので帰ってからも大変良い思い出になりました!!
It was a truly beautiful place. The crew was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. I thought it was just a sandbar, but I was very satisfied to be able to snorkel at the coral as well. Plus, I got to see a sea turtle. LUCKY!
本当にキレイな場所でした。クルーの人たちも気さくでとても雰囲気が良かったです。サンドバーだけかなと思っていたらサンゴのところでシュノーケリングもでき大満足です。あと、ウミガメにも会えましたよ。LUCKY!
Great sailboat ride, what more can one say?
This is one ride you should not miss!
A little background: party was my wife and I, both 30 y/o. We attended this show with the green room and dinner package. The green room and backstage tour portion of the package was underwhelming and really quite boring. One note is that we took a souvenir picture with "Michael Jackson" which was given to us as part of the package as compared to others at the show who had to pay $25 for it. The tour consisted of us, two other couples, and someone who runs the show guiding us around backstage and sharing different behind the scenes info as well as showing us other bits of the production. After that it went to the dinner portion which was held in front of the stage for the hour preceding the show. The food included lobster first course, steak and fish second with veggies and mashed potatoes, then dessert and coffee, all wrapping up before the show started. The food was quite good, especially the steak (tenderloin if I remember correctly). The show, though a little corny, was quite good overall and definitely entertaining. I did not really care for the Lady Gaga portion but the Elvis and Michael Jackson was good overall as well as the fire dancer. One plus of the package was the seating given was right by the stage which gave a small opportunity for the performers to come down and interact with us (not much but a quick appearance) which made it nice when "Elvis" gave my wife his scarf. Overall the night itself was entertaining and the food was good, making the package worth what we paid.
This was my second whale watching experience, and I was able to see them well again this time. My friend, who was on their first whale watching trip, was also thrilled. I considered joining another boat, but after consulting with the staff at the desk, I chose this one with a great view, and it was the right decision. The food was delicious, and the ride was smooth, which was nice.
2回目のホエールウォッチングでしたが、今回もしっかりみることができました。初ウォッチングの友達も大喜び。別の船での参加も考え悩みましたが、デスクの方と相談して、見晴しのよいこちらの方にしましたが正解でした。料理もおいしく、ゆれも少なくて良かったです。
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 aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度は、ご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どももとても嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The sandbar was simply beautiful. During the subsequent sea turtle watching cruise, I was able to see sea turtles up close multiple times, which was amazing. If only I had an underwater camera... However, I had thought lunch would be a BBQ, but it turned out to be hamburgers grilled on the boat. Still, they were delicious. There was a Japanese staff member, so I was able to enjoy my time without any difficulties.
サンドバーは、きれいの一言でした。その後のウミガメウォッチクルーズでは、ウミガメを何度も間近で見ることができ最高でした。水中カメラがあれば…。ただ、ランチはBBQと思っていたら、船上でハンバーグを焼いたハンバーガーでした。でも美味しかったです。スタッフの方には日本の方がいたので、不自由なく、楽しく過ごせました。
It was the best experience to enjoy drinks on the boat, feeling the wind while surrendering to the pleasant music. I was more moved than I expected when we ventured further out and realized the vastness of the sea with the island behind us. My colleagues also loved this tour, and it seems like it will become a regular course for us from now on. I want to bring my family next time.
船の上でお酒が飲め、心地よい音楽に身を任せながら風を感じる...最高の体験でした。
思っていたより沖に進んだので、島を背にした時には海の広さを実感し、とても感動しました。
同僚達もこのツアーを気に入り、次回から定番のコースになりそうと盛り上がっていました。
私も今度は家族を連れて行きたいです。
I participated on the first day I arrived in Hawaii. They were inviting people to the Golden Circle seats in order of arrival, so if you want to be in the front row, it might be best to arrive early and line up. You could get food from the people at your table, but there was quite a time difference between the first person who went to the buffet and the last person. The finale of the show featured a breathtaking fire dance.
ハワイに着いた初日に参加させてもらいました。ゴールデンサークル席も、早く着いた人からどんどん席に招待してくれていたので、最前列がよければ早く行って並んでいたほうがいいかもしれません。料理は席の人から取りにいくことができたのですが、はじめにビュッフェに行った人と最後の人とでは、だいぶ時間差がありました。ショーの最後はファイヤーダンスで圧巻のダンスでした。
The snorkeling and hamburgers were amazing. The guide, who was Japanese, was very kind and attentive, making it a fun experience. I highly recommend it.
シュノーケルとハンバーガー最高でした。ガイドさんが日本人の方もいてですごく親切で細やかな気配りをしていただき、楽しかったです。おすすめします。
We went as a family of four with our 7-year-old and 2-year-old daughters. We arrived at the Hilton as planned, and the cheerful instructor kept the atmosphere lively on the bus. Once we reached the port, a Japanese guide entertained us well.
I heard the morning group had rain, but our trip was lucky with clear skies, and the sea was incredibly beautiful. We brought a float for our 2-year-old, and it was a big hit; she had a great time.
Lunch on the boat while looking at the sea, eating hamburgers, was fantastic. It’s definitely best to line up as soon as they start grilling the meat, as it got quite crowded.
After that, we went to see sea turtles and snorkeled at the coral reef. I did this with my older daughter, and it was amazing to see tropical fish up close! A waterproof camera is a must! We brought our own snorkels, but rentals are also available.
I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises, but it really depends on the weather.
7歳と2歳の娘を連れて家族4人で行ってきました。宿泊先のヒルトンにきちんと予定通りに来てもらい、陽気なインストの方がバス内を盛り上げてくれ、いざ港からは日本人の方がしっかり楽しませてくれました。
朝の組みは雨だったそうですが、私たちの便は海も運よく晴れてくれ、最高に美しかったです。2歳の娘に浮き輪を持って行きましたがこれが大活躍、彼女も楽しんでました。
昼ご飯も船上で海を見ながら食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。確かに肉を焼き始めたら直ぐに並んだ方がいいですね。大分混雑してました。
それからウミガメを見に行って珊瑚礁でシュノーケル、これは上の娘と二人でしましたが、熱帯魚が間近で見られて感動!防水カメラ必携です!シュノーケルは持って行きましたが貸出もちゃんとあります。
次回も機会があれば参加したいですが、本当に天気次第ですね。
We had a great time..food was great.entertainment was great..everyone so friendly. .beautiful sunset..
Everyone was very good at singing. I really enjoyed it. I went for my middle school daughter who loves both old and new Western music. There were many songs I knew. I felt it was a great deal to enjoy both rock and hula shows. The location is convenient, so I recommend it. As a Michael fan, I was of course satisfied, and even my husband, who wasn't that enthusiastic, was very pleased with the high quality of the songs and dances by Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, and later took a cheerful photo with Gaga. My sixth-grade son attended for free as part of a summer vacation program, and he said the intense hula dances and fire performances were really cool and very interesting. We reserved front row seats with drinks, so Elvis came over to shake hands with us. Other than that, it’s not a very large hall, so it seems like you could enjoy it from any seat.
みなさん歌が大変上手でした。とても楽しめました。新旧の洋楽の好きな中学生の娘のために行きました。知ってる曲ばかりです。ロックとフラのショーを両方楽しめるので得した気持ちです。場所も便利なのでお勧めです。マイケル好きの私はもちろん、そんなに乗り気でなかった主人もレディーガガさんや、マイケルジャクソンさんの歌とダンスの完成度のた高さに大満足して、後でガガさんとニコニコで写真を撮りました。小6の息子は今回無料の夏休み企画でしたが、本人はフラの激しいダンスや火を使うダンスがとてもカッコ良くて、すごく面白かったと言ってくれました。飲み物付きの一番前のシートを予約しましたので、プレスリーさんが握手にきてくれました。それをのぞけばそんなにおおきくないホールだから、どこの席でも楽しめそうです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your time here. We look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、誠にありがとうございました。ご家族で楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どももとても嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申しあげます。
It's fun, but the attractions start operating at random intervals every 30 minutes due to service interruptions, so I wish they would prioritize customer experience.
It's a bit of a hassle if you can't speak any English. (Even broken English is okay.)
There are many Koreans, and their manners are poor. Westerners and Japanese guests have good manners.
楽しいのですが、運休・30分毎・きまぐれで
アトラクションが動き出すので、
顧客第一でやってほしい。
英語がまったくできないと
ちょっと面倒ですね。
(かたことでもOK)
韓国人が多く、マナーは悪いです。
欧米人、日本人客はマナー〇です。
When we went to the sandbar, we took a cruiser and enjoyed the beautiful emerald green sea. The breeze was pleasant, and it was very soothing.
I had seen sea turtles before, but being able to see them take cute breaths was another level of cuteness that healed me.
We also had a photo time at the sandbar, and it was great to have family photos to remember the day.
The children, who were snorkeling for the first time, were able to see fish and had a lot of fun with the help of the staff.
It was nice to hear the Japanese guide explain everything properly and share that this place was used as a filming location for a movie! The tour was packed with various activities in a short time in the morning, making it a fulfilling experience.

午前中の短時間にいろいろな事が盛り込まれた
充実したツアーでした。
I made a reservation because I wanted to show it to my mother who does hula dancing. When I arrived early and stood in line, there were a lot of foreigners... Personally, I thought it was great because I want to find places in Hawaii that aren't crowded with Japanese people. Before the show started, there was a service where they would draw tattoos with a marker, and my 17-year-old daughter was thrilled to have it done by a super handsome dancer. I want to go again.
フラダンスをやっている母に見せたいと予約しました。
早めに着いて、並んでいると外国人の方がたくさん・・・
個人的にはハワイでもあまり日本人が集まるところじゃないところを探したいので、いいなと思っていました。
ショーが始まる前にタトウ―をマジックで書いてくれるサービスがあり、17才の娘は超イケメンのダンサーに書いてもらいウキウキ。
また行きたいと思います。
