Oahu
What a great time! Crew was awesome, kind and patient. Tended to everyone's needs to make sure the trip was enjoyable. Thanks to Doug for taking my call (every morning) to see if we would be able to snorkel since the weather wasn't cooperating. Christine from jersey.
The sunset dinner experience was extraordinary. The food was exquisite and our waitress was amazing. Keilani made us feel at home and made sure our experience was superb. In addition, the assistant manager Crystal Tagudin stopped by our table and chat with us for a while to make sure that our expectations were met. I absolutely loved it and look forward to going back next time I'm in Hawaii. Thank you Star of Honolulu staff!!!
Second year in a row we have enjoyed a sail. Service is on point!!!!
We participated as a group of 12 people, including six children (three aged 5 and three elementary school students) and six adults from three families. Our family used this service for the second consecutive year! Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese passengers and the other with a mix of foreigners and a few Japanese. Based on the children's request, we boarded the boat with more foreigners. However, there were also Japanese guides, and the announcements were made separately for Japanese and foreigners, with us receiving information in Japanese.
We departed from the hotel at 9:00 AM, and thanks to the good timing of the tides, there were spots at the sandbar where the 5-year-olds could stand, and they had a great time with the floaties. The adults set up a court with poles right there, and we played beach volleyball. During the sea turtle watching, we spotted several turtles, and those who entered the water early encountered a large resting turtle very close to the entry point! It seemed to swim away after some noise, so those who entered later missed it, but those who saw it were lucky. We were able to float and observe the turtle for several minutes right above it! It might be better to prepare for snorkeling early to increase your chances. They also provided free rental vests, fins, and snorkels for the kids, which was convenient.
We brought our own floaties, but there were also several floating tubes available on the boat that we used (the 5-year-old was taken with a floatie, vest, and floating tube to see the sea turtles). During snorkeling, there were areas with a depth of several meters, and since it was all coral, there were no areas where you could stand. The distance from the boat to the coral area where the turtles were was about 10 meters, so as long as the children are not afraid of deep water, they should be fine. There were also many beautiful small fish. I think it would be better to change clothes before getting on the return bus since it can be cold. We brought one rental beach towel for each child from the hotel, which was a good decision. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious! The beer we had on the boat after swimming (additional charge, settled upon disembarking) was also excellent. We used the same tour for two consecutive years, and we were fully satisfied as we could feel the essence of Hawaii!
5-10才までの子ども6人(5才3人小学生3人)、大人6人計3家族12人のグループで参加しました。小生家族は昨年に続き2年連続の利用です!人数が多かったため日本人ばかりの船と、外国人+日本人少しの船に別れ、子どものリクエスト!により外人が多い方に乗船しました。といっても、ガイドは日本人の方もいて、途中案内は日本人外人別々に、我々には日本語で行って頂けました。朝9:00ホテル発でしたが潮のタイミングが良く、サンドバーでは5才の子ども達も立つことが出来るような場所もあり、浮き輪で充分楽しめました。大人はその場でポールを立ててコートを作ってくれたので、ビーチバレーで遊びました。ウミガメウオッチでは何匹かのカメを発見、シュノーケリングでは早くに海に入った人が、エントリーポイントすぐ近くにいたかなりでかいお休み中のカメに遭遇!途中で騒がしかったのか泳いで行ってしまい、後から入った人は見れませんでしたが見れた人はラッキーでした。数分間は休んでいるカメの真上でぷかぷか浮きながら観察できました!早めにシュノーケリングの準備をして入った方がチャンスがあるのかも。子供用のベスト、フィン、シュノーケルも無料で貸して頂けたので便利でした。浮き輪も持参しましたが、浮き輪代わりの浮くチューブは何本も船に用意してありそれも利用しました(5才児は浮き輪+ベスト+浮くチューブで連れて行きウミガメを見せることができました。シュノーケリングの時は水深数メートルのところもある上、サンゴばかりで立つことが出来るエリアはありません。船からサンゴエリア・ウミガメのいたところまで10mほどでしたので、水と深いのが怖くなければ子どもも大丈夫だと思います。きれいな小さな魚もたくさんいました)。帰りのバスは寒いので着替えてから乗車した方が良いと思います。ホテルのプール用のレンタルバスタオルを子どもの分も1人1枚持参しましたが正解でした。昼食のハンバーガーは美味しかったです!泳ぎ終わった後、船の上で飲んだビール(別料金、下船時に精算)も最高でした。2年続けて同じツアーを利用しましたがハワイらしさを感じることができ、充分満足でした!
I participated in the same tour five years ago, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, so I decided to try again this time. This time, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time! The blue sea, the blue sky, and I was able to see about three sea turtles up close multiple times! I'm glad I went for the revenge tour♪ I recommend participating for anyone going to Hawaii!
5年前にも同じツアーに参加したのですが、運悪く天気が悪かったので今回リベンジしました。
今回は天候にも恵まれ楽しい時間を過ごすことができました!
青い海、青い空、海ガメも3頭くらい、何度も身近で見ることができました!
リベンジしてよかったです♪
ハワイに行かれる方は参加することをオススメします!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Revenge. This time, you were able to encounter the blue sea, blue sky, and even a lucky sea turtle. I'm really glad to hear that. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii! Mahalo!
アロハ!リベンジ参加ありがとうございます。
今回は青い海&青い空そして幸運のウミガメにも遭遇出来たんですね。本当に良かったです。
またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ!遊びに来て下さいね〜。マハロ〜!!
On August 24, 15 (Monday), we went with three family members using a rental car. We chose Monday because we heard weekends can be crowded, and it was definitely the right choice!! We arrived right at 10:30 when the park opened. After presenting our voucher at the ticket booth and receiving our admission tickets, we were able to enter smoothly. It was almost like having the place to ourselves! We enjoyed all the attractions without any waiting time. However, we did have to wait a bit for the Shaka ride. Both adults and kids had a great time. Every ride was thrilling. We thoroughly enjoyed experiences that you can't have in Japan. Thanks to that, we played until 4:00 PM. Weekdays might be the way to go!!!
15年8/24(月)に、家族3名でレンタカー利用で行きました。週末は混雑するとの事で月曜日にしたのですが大正解でした!! 10:30開園丁度に到着。チケット売場でバウチャー提出して入場券をもらったらスムーズに入る事が出来ました。殆ど貸切に近い状態でしょうか!どのアトラクションも待ち時間なしで楽しめました。でも、シャカは意外と並びましたがね。大人も子供も楽しめましたよ。どれも絶叫です。日本じゃ味わえない楽しみをジックリ堪能しました。お陰で16:00まで遊びつくしました。平日は狙いかな!!!
I participated with my elementary school children and family. As soon as we arrived, we eagerly challenged ourselves to the slides. I thought the kids might be scared and not ride the big slides, but that worry was unnecessary. The two children kept challenging themselves to various slides multiple times.
For lunch, I thought we would just grab something simple at the food court, and when I placed my order, I was surprised by the American-sized portions after a long time. I couldn't help but exclaim, "What on earth is this...?" After eating, we floated in the lazy river with rented inner tubes. We had a great time as a family.
As for the deck chairs available on-site, they were quite full everywhere. There is a resting area in the middle of the lazy river, and it seemed to be the least crowded spot.
小学生の子供と、家族で参加しました。まず現地に着くと、手当り次第、スライダーに挑戦。子供たち、怖がって大きいスライダーには乗らないかと思っていたけど、不要な心配でした。子供二人だけで、いろんなスライダーに何度も挑戦していました。
お昼は、フードコートで簡単なものですませようと思い、注文したところ、久しぶりのアメリカンサイズにびっくり。思わず、これはいったい、、、と声に出てしまいました。食べたら、レンタル浮き輪で、流れるプールをぷかぷか。家族で存分に遊びました。
現地に用意されているデッキチェアですが、結構どこもいっぱいになっていました。流れるプールの真ん中にも休憩スペースがあるのですが、そこが一番すいている気がしました。
The weather in Kaneohe is very changeable, so it depended on the weather. It would have been more enjoyable if the sunny weather had lasted longer, but it got cold when it was cloudy... However, I was glad to see the clear ocean and the honu (sea turtles).
カネオヘの天気はすごく変わりやすいので天気次第でした。
晴れがずっと続いたらもっと楽しかったんですが、曇ると寒い…
でも、澄んだ海やホヌが見れたので、よかったです。
This awesome sailing experience was one of a kind. There are many catamarans on Waikiki Beach, but this one stands out. From the colorful sails, to the attentive and pleasant crew, this is a seriously great experience! Make sure you bring cash if you want anything to drink!
とても良いです。
Very good .......................................
I attended a luau show. Since I had made a reservation here, the process was smooth. The show itself was average, and the food was also average at the buffet. I think it's a good option to reserve with peace of mind and see it at least once.
ルアウショーを見てきました。
こちらで予約していたので、手続きはスムーズでした。
ショー自体は普通、食べ物もビュッフェで普通でした。
安心して予約して、一度見るにはいいのかなと思います。
Blue Hawaiian made it a truly perfect addition to our holiday with their professionalism, knowledgeable staff and top-service. The little extras made the difference such as the ability to buy the video immediately after the flight for a very reasonable $40. A great first-time helicopter experience for us and hopefully not the last one!
It was a great excursion I will recommend to everyone , I will go again
As someone who grew up on Oahu, I'm skeptical of all the overhyped promises to tourist, but this trip really delivered. I tooky husband and an out of town guest and not only did we see multiple honu, the crew was just super. They were extra helpful with newbies to snorkeling and made everyone feel very welcome.
You can rent a safety box at the rental shop, so you can go to the beach hands-free. We took out pizza and had lunch on the beach. I heard there’s also BBQ on weekdays.
レンタルショップでセーフティボックスが借りられるので手ぶらでビーチに行けます。ピザをテイクアウトして海岸でランチしました。平日はBBQもあるそうです。
My kids and I found it to be a fun and learning experience. To learn about all the different Polynesian people in that kind of setting was great. The food and the show was wonderful.
Amazing service! The transportation serbice providers were always on time. They call you a day before to remind you of your reservation.
There was so much to see with a tour of the Arizona memorial, the museum and then mighty mo. The tour company was amazing with transportation and organization. I would book it again!
Michael Jackson and others were incredibly fun, and I seriously want to see a real show in Las Vegas or New York‼️ A high-scoring show!
マイケルジャクソンなど大変にたのしくて、ラスベガスかNYで本場のショーを本気で見たくなりました‼️
高得点ショー
Thank you for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to your next visit when you come to Hawaii, from all of our staff.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、ありがとうございます。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上げます。
I've lived in Hawaii for about 8 years and I thought I've seen everything. Just getting to ride a helicopter was already an amazing experience. Getting to ride it over Hawaii made it even better. I felt like a tourist seeing Hawaii for the first time. I'm also a big fan of Jurasic World and I kinda freaked when I found out they used Blue Hawaii Helicopter for the movie. I would recomend this tour to anyone; even locals.
My daughter (5 years old) is quite timid and could only go to the baby pool, but she was very happy with the various types of slides available.
It was a crowded day, so there were no free rental floaties for the wave pool. (I was dissatisfied that bringing our own floaties was prohibited.)
Without a life jacket, we weren't even allowed into the wave pool area, and when I tried to borrow one, there was a long line, so I gave up.
Also, since we didn't opt for a meal plan, it took about 20 to 30 minutes to place an order at the concession stand around 11:30, and it took about 15 minutes to receive the items.
I regretted not choosing the lunch package.
うちの娘(5歳)は怖がりで赤ちゃんプールしか行けませんでしたが
滑り台などいろんな種類がありとても喜んでました^^
混んでいた日だったので、波のプールの無料貸し出しの浮き輪など
ない状態でした。(自分の浮き輪持ち込みが禁止なのが不満です)
ライフジャケットがないと、波のプールエリアにすら入れてもらず
借りようと思っても長蛇の列で諦めました
あと、ご飯付きにしなかったので、11時半くらいから売店が
注文するのに20〜30分で、商品を受け取るのに
15分程度かかってしまいました
ランチ付きコースにしたほうがよかったと後悔しました
Although it was supposed to be a Japanese guide, the bus from the pickup point to the destination was entirely in English with a foreign guide. Moreover, the guide spoke loudly in English, continuously rambling about things that made no sense, which was not only noisy but also very unpleasant. On the return bus, unfortunately, it was the same foreign guide, and there was no proper explanation or guidance, leaving some people confused about which bus to take.
日本語ガイドの筈なのに、ピックアップから現地までのバスの中は外人ガイドで全て英語でした。しかもでかい声で英語でず〜と訳わからないことをしゃべり続けられて、うるさいだけでなく非常に不快でした。帰りのバスに乗る時も、残念ながら同じ外人のガイドで、説明も案内もまともになく、どのバスに乗っていいのかもわからず困っている方もいらっしゃいました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
However, I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience during the transfer.
I have shared your feedback with the operating company.
Typically, English-speaking staff will assist during the round-trip transfers, and there are also Japanese-speaking staff at the local activities.
Since the guide often responds to questions from customers in the vehicle, there was a tendency to continue talking during the transfer.
I am truly sorry for the lack of explanations and guidance on your return, which caused you inconvenience.
Based on your valuable feedback, we will strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your valuable experience.

I am a native Hawaiian so I know my way around a luau. I was home visiting family and decided to take my wife and kids to Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park Hawaii. I must say it was THE BEST luau I have ever been to. The food was excellent as I usually go to a luau for the food first and show second. The show was even better as Chief was the perfect showman with talent to burn. Speaking of burn, the fire dancers were simply AMAZING!! The entire show was dazzling as each Polynesian country were represented in true artistry. What an amazing show with some of the most delicious authentic Hawaiian food I have ever tasted. My only complaint, and its a small one, is that there was no haupia for dessert.
I've traveled to Hawaii many times, but I had never been to any island other than Oahu. This time, I experienced sightseeing on Kauai for the first time, and I was able to feel a different side of Hawaii. The lush, calming landscapes that spread out before me are definitely worth seeing at least once. Also, the coffee is delicious and can be purchased at a low price.
ハワイ旅行は何度もあるけれど、オアフ島以外に行ったことがありませんでした。
今回、初めてカウアイ島観光を体験して、また違ったハワイを感じることができました。
緑豊かで心安らぐ風景が目の前に大きく広がる風景は一度見てみる価値があると思います。
それとコーヒーがおいしく、安く購入できますよ。
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
