Oahu
Great menu, great pacing, the kids were laughing the whole time and off their cell phones which is a win!!
I was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but the waves were less intense than I expected, and I was totally fine. As for the whale watching, I was starting to think we might not see anything, but then I spotted a spout in the distance! Cheers erupted, and in response, the whale showcased its spouts and tail several times. Seeing it live was truly moving.
船酔いが心配で酔い止め飲みまいたが、思ったより揺れが少なく、全然平気でした。
肝心のホエールウォッチはなかなか見当たらずもしかして、見れないのでは? と思っていたら、遠くにシューっと潮吹きを発見!歓声が上がり、それに答えるように何度も潮吹きや尾びれを披露してくれました。生で見るとほんと感動です。
There is a temperature difference between land, sea, and inside the ship, so it's important to pay attention to your clothing and bring something to wear over your outfit.
陸上、海上と船内の気温差がありますので、一枚羽織れるものなど、服装に注意が必要です。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whale watching. Also, thank you for the very positive review. We hope to see you again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。そして、大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I watched the performance with my three grandchildren and my wife, and it was a continuous series of moving moments from start to finish. The story woven with Hawaiian ethnicity and culture, the performances that unfolded one after another, the laughter and thrills, and the production that brought the audience together were all of the highest world-class quality. I hope many people get to see it. Time flew by in an instant.
孫と妻3人で観覧しましたが、最初から最後まで飽くことなく感動の連続でした。
ハワイの民族・文化を織り込んでのストーリーに、次々と繰り出されるパフォーマンス、笑いとスリル、観客と一帯となった演出はどれも世界最高峰モノです。
多くの方に観覧して欲しいと思いました。時間がアッという間に過ぎてしまいました。
I definitely hope many people will come to see it.
是非、多くの方に観覧して欲しいと思っています。
It was great that the venue was much smaller than the one I saw in Las Vegas. I could even see the performers sweating right in front of me, and the sense of presence from the artists was fantastic. I definitely want to see it again.
ラスベガスで見たシルク・ド・ソレイユの会場より、かなり小さいことが良かったです。目の前で汗まで見え、演者の臨場感がとても良かったです。ぜひ、また見たいです。
We participated as a family of three. We have been to Hawaii many times, but this was our first stay in Ko Olina, so we decided to book the sunset sailing that everyone could enjoy. It turned out to be a great decision!! The beer enjoyed while feeling the pleasant breeze was very delicious. The sunset offered a breathtakingly beautiful view and the atmosphere was wonderful, creating unforgettable memories. Although the prices were high due to the weak yen, it was a tour worth more than that.
家族3人での参加です。ハワイは何度も来ていますが、今回は初めてのコオリナ泊だった為、皆で楽しめそうな、こちらのサンセットセーリングを申込みしました。結果、大正解でした!!心地よい風に当たりながらいただくビールはとても美味しかったです。サンセットは息をのむような美しい景色で雰囲気もよく、忘れられない思い出になりました。円安でお値段高かったですが、それ以上に価値のあるツアーでした。
This is a tour I definitely recommend for those staying in Ko Olina. Enjoying a beer while watching the sunset is the best!!
コオリナへ滞在の方には、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです。
夕日を眺めながらのビールは、最高です!!
You can see a lot of fish at waist-deep water, making it enjoyable for snorkeling beginners. Although it was a bit cold to stay in the water in March due to the clouds, once you get in, it’s not a problem.
腰の高さの水深で沢山の魚を見ることができ、スノーケリング初心者で十分楽しめます。海に入り続けるには3月の曇りは少し寒いですが、入ってしまえば問題なしでした。
The Cirque du Soleil was amazing and suitable for children. My kids, aged 9, 11, and 13, were captivated for the entire 80 minutes without getting bored. The front row gives you a constant upward view, but the impact is impressive. (You can even hear the quiet conversations after a performance mishap. Seeing the nervous expressions of the performers before the next act made us feel excited too.) Next time, I’d like to see it from a different seat.
子供も見れるシルクドソレイユ最高でした。9歳11歳13歳の子供でしたが、飽きずに80分間釘付けでした。最前列は終始見上げる感じですが、迫力があります。(演技失敗後のコソッと会話も聞こえるぐらいなので。次の演技がドキドキの演者さんの表情を見てこちらもドキドキ)次回は別の席からも見てみたいです。
It's better to have a jacket. Soft drinks are sold at the bar before entering the venue, and you can bring them inside. If you print out tickets for the number of people, entry will be smoother.
上着あった方が良いです。館内入る前にバーでソフトドリンクも売っており、持ち込めます。チケットは人数分印刷しておくとスムーズに入場できます。
The hotel provided a shuttle service, making transportation easy, and the crew on the boat was great at engaging with us, which made it a lot of fun. At the sandbar, we were able to take beautiful photos, and while snorkeling, we saw a sleeping turtle and many colorful fish. The large coral was truly impressive. The kids also had a great time and were very happy, creating wonderful memories. The hamburgers on the boat were also very delicious.
ホテルまで送迎してくれるので移動も楽だし、船のお姉さんも話が上手くて最高に楽しかったです。
サンドバーでは綺麗な写真も撮れたし、シュノーケルでは寝ているカメを見れたり、色とりどりの魚もたくさん見れました。とっても大きい珊瑚に感動でした。
子供達も良かった!と喜んでいてとてもいい思い出になりました。船上でのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
One person got seasick, so I recommend motion sickness medication for children who are prone to it. It gets really cold when you get off the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring something to wea
1人、船酔いしてしまったので、酔いやすい子供は酔い止めおすすめします。
船から上がるとブルブル震える位寒いので、羽織るもの持っていくといいと思います。
We enjoyed learning about the different cultures. The best one was Samoa. The chief had us laughing the entire time. We even bought his paintings afterwards and he signed them. The buffet dinner was amazing. I recommend getting a tour guide as they can give you more information and take you through all the villages quicker.
I had a very meaningful morning! Unfortunately, I didn't understand about 80% of the English explanations, but when there were whales, it was very easy to understand the direction based on the time on the clock relative to the boat. On that day, we were able to see a small whale jumping, and everyone on the boat was really excited! I tend to get motion sickness and was worried about seasickness, but there was hardly any rocking, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably. If you're visiting Honolulu during this time, I think this is an activity you absolutely should participate in!
非常に有意義な朝の時間を過ごすことができました!!英語の説明は残念ながら8割わからなかったですが、クジラがいた時には船を基準にして時計の時刻で方向を知らせてくれるため、とても分かりやすかったです。
この日は小さなクジラがジャンプする姿を見ることができ、船上もかなり盛り上がっていました!
乗り物酔いしやすく、船酔いも心配していましたが、ほとんど揺れもなく快適に過ごすことができました。
この時期にホノルルに訪れるなら、絶対に参加すべきアクティビティだと思いました!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. We also appreciate your very positive review. Please do come again; our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
今回クジラのジャンプをご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。そして大変ポジティブな口コミも有難うございます。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
It was great to see the whale, but it's disappointing that the boat turned back so soon after. To be honest, I wanted to see it a little longer.
クジラが見えた事はよかったんですが、
その後すぐ船が引き返してしまうのは残念です。もう少し見たかったと言うのは正直なところです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a couple. We were disappointed that the time for whale watching was short, but we are very happy that you were able to see whales. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
時間的に鯨の観測が短かったのが残念でしたが、クジラが見えました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
All the staff members were bright and friendly, and my children were thrilled! Thank you for your care!
スタッフの方皆様、明るく親切な方ばかりで、子供も最高だったと喜んでました!
お世話になり、ありがとうございました♪
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
天国の海でまたお会いできる日をウミガメともにお待ちしております。A hui hou!
Fifteen minutes before the start, an elderly man begins to play the guitar while sitting down. He remains at the front left edge of the stage without moving. It seems that BIP guests receive special treatment by the poolside (like water and crackers), but for everyone else, there's nothing provided, so arriving by fifteen minutes before the start is sufficient.
開始15分前よりおじいさんがギターを座ったまま弾き始める。ずっとステージの左端前方で動かない。BIPはプールサイドで特別な待遇?(水、クラッカーなどもらえる?)があるようだが、それ以外の人は何もないので開始15分前までに入場すれば十分。
If you're in general seating, I think you should arrive at the venue by 20 minutes before it starts.
一般席なら、開始20分前までに会場に着くように行けばいいんじゃないかな?
I decided to check out the novelty of Cirque du Soleil in Waikiki. I approached the stage with the feeling that it would be a stylish circus. That was a huge misconception.
The performance, of course, was overwhelming with its brilliance, storytelling, and the thrill of not knowing what would happen next, along with a sense of warmth. It's true that when humans are moved, tears naturally come out.
I thought it was a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny.
ワイキキでのシルクドソレイユという物珍しさで見に行ってみることにしました。おしゃれなサーカスでしょという気持ちでのぞんだステージ。
とんでもない認識誤りでした。
パフォーマンスはもちろん、きらびやかさ、ストーリー展開、次に何が起こるか分からないドキドキ感、なごやかさもあって圧倒されました。
人間感動すると自然と涙が出るもんなんですね。
少し高額かと思いましたが値打ちは充分すぎるほどありました。
Choosing a seat can be quite a dilemma. While sitting in the front or center is preferable, I realized that there are various ways to enjoy the performance even from the back or the sides, as performe
席選びは大いに悩むところ。前や中央に越したことはありませんが、左右や上からも演者が現れるので後ろや端の席でも楽しみ方はいろいろあると思いました。
The Hawaiian buffet was very delicious, and the staff were very kind. Although there was a bit of an atmosphere that made it difficult to go for a second round at the buffet, the staff's friendly assistance allowed me to go without hesitation. Since I could also experience hula dancing, it became an opportunity to bond with foreign visitors through dance. The show, which traced the history of Hawaii and hula dancing, was a vibrant performance that made me truly feel that I was in Hawaii, lifting my spirits.
ハワイアンビュッフェはとても美味しく、定員さんもとても優しかったです。またビュッフェの2周目が行きにくい雰囲気でしたが、店員さんが優しく対応してくれたため我慢することなく行くことができました。フラダンスも体験できるため、ダンスを通して外国人の方とも仲良くなるきっかけになりました。ショーではハワイとフラダンスの歴史を辿りながらみる華やかなショーによって、改めてハワイに来ていることを実感し、気分が上がりました。
I felt that it’s better to actively go along with the cast's vibe. Also, I recommend coming hungry and bringing a camera!
積極的にキャストの方のノリに乗った方がいいと感じました。また、お腹を空かせておくこと、カメラを持っていくことをお勧めします!
I participated in Bon Voyage Kobe after being recommended by Mr. Tamura, and it was great to be able to see the show up close. The meals before the show also enhanced the atmosphere, making it an overall recommended experience.
ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸 田村氏に勧められて参加しましたが 割と近くでショーが見れて良かったです。ショーが始まるまでの食事なども雰囲気を盛り上げてくれて全体的にお勧めのひと時です。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to the Rock-A-Hula VIP Waikiki Luau & Buffet Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the luau and the overall entertainment. We also appreciate your very positive review! We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ VIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご家族ででご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ロッカフラのルアウそして、エンターテインメント全体的に楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。そして、大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います!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。
I participated in Bon Voyage Kobe on the recommendation of Mr. Tamura, and it was great to see whales up close in relatively nearby waters. Unlike Kochi and Okinawa, the waves were lower, so I didn't get seasick, which was a plus.
ボン・ヴォヤージュ神戸 田村氏に勧められて参加しましたが割と近海でクジラが近くで見れて良かったです。高知や沖縄と違って波も低めで船酔いしなかったのがよかったです
Really fabulous duo tour, our movie guide was so knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious.
This evening was very crowded, not our style but we did like the firework show from the boat.
You are tightly seated within other groups, but regardless of that the crew and entertainment are fantastic.
The tour was explained thoroughly in Japanese, and I had a great time.
After the tour experience, a young child was fussy on the bus, which was quite challenging. Then... I realized my wife's smartphone was missing.
I immediately contacted the tour company, and they responded kindly via email and phone. By the next morning, it was back in our hands.
I am filled with gratitude that the precious photos from the tour were returned to us. Thank you to all the staff who worked hard to help us.
ツアーは説明も日本語でしっかり説明してくださり、とても楽しかったです。
ツアー体験後、バスの中で幼少の子供がぐずり大変でした。
そして…慌てて対応してくれた、妻のスマホがないことがわかりました。
すぐにツアー会社さんに連絡をとりメール、電話連絡で丁寧に対応して頂き、翌日の午前中には手元に帰ってきました。
ツアー中の貴重な写真が戻ってきてくれたことに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。
ご尽力してくださった職員の皆様、ありがとうございました。
Depending on the weather and season, I recommend preparing warm clothing for when you come out of the sea.
Please make sure to check your smartphone carefully (sweat).
天候、季節もありますが海から上がった時は暖かい服装を準備される事をおすすめします。
スマートフォンはしっかり確認して下さい(汗)
I'm glad I went!
Once you buy a ticket, you can enter for three days!
Indeed, with such a wealth of experiences, it seems like it would take three days to fully enjoy everything.
Understanding the schedules for experiences and shows can be overwhelming for first-timers, so I recommend paying the additional fee for a guide; otherwise, it would be hard to enjoy efficiently and you might feel lost! I definitely recommend getting a guide!
The staff is mostly university students from the adjacent campus, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere.
The guide who assisted us was great at explaining in Japanese, and thanks to them, we had a fantastic time! ✨
All the shows and experiences were fun!
With a ticket, you can enjoy everything for free except for meals and the fire show.
If you have kids, I think it's an incredibly fun place.
It was such a great place that I would want to visit for three days!
行ってよかった!
1回チケットを買ったら3日入れるらしい!
たしかに豊富な体験数なので、全制覇は3日かかりそう。
体験やショーのプログラム時間の把握は、豊富すぎて初めての人には厳しいのでガイド追加料金を払って、案内してもらわないと効率よく楽しめないし、わけがわからないと思う!絶対ガイドをつけることをおすすめ!
スタッフは隣接の大学生が8割とのことで、活気があって良い雰囲気だった。
ガイドをしてくれた方も日本語での説明が上手で、彼らのおかげで相当楽しめた✨
ショーも、体験も全部楽しかった!
チケットがあれば、食事とファイヤーショー意外無料で楽しめます。
子供がいたら、楽しすぎる場所だと思う。
3日間通いたいくらい良い場所でした。
Since the access is farther from Waikiki, it's better to schedule your plans according to the shuttle bus times from the cultural center (only one round trip). Taxis and Uber were hard to catch and be
アクセスがワイキキより遠いので、カルチャーセンターのシャトルバスの時間(往復1便のみ)に合わせてスケジュールを組んだ方が良い。
タクシー、ウーバーは地方ということもあり、つかまらなかったし高額になる。
This show is nothing short of incredible. We saw a circe show in Vegas and we weren't sure how this would show against that experience but WOW. Just amazing. As far as I can tell, every seat is a good seat. Do NOT be late!
BK was our tour guide and driver. I know now why he was Driver of the Year in 2023. Very knowledgeable on every facet of the tour. It was our first trip to Honolulu and he provided an excellent dialogue on everywhere we visited. (and even some we didn’t!) The bus was exceptionally clean and comfortable and our scheduled pickup was exactly on time at both ends of the tour.
Even when we got close to Diamond Head, we couldn't see any whales, and I started to give up a little, but then I spotted a spout in the distance. At that moment, the boat sped towards the whale, and we got close enough to see it!
After that, the boat kept pace without disturbing the whale, allowing us to see it with Diamond Head in the background. It was such an emotional moment!
As the boat started heading back to the harbor, the other passengers returned inside, but while watching the whale, I was able to see a huge leap from quite a distance!
On the way back, we also spotted two groups of whales, so I think it's a good idea to look out for spouts. The pineapple banana bread provided after boarding was also very delicious, and we could enjoy it with tea or coffee inside the boat!
There were also announcements in Japanese explaining about the whales, so it's fine even if you don't understand English. Since they are living creatures, you can't always see them, but even if they are a bit far away, the boat gets close, so I’m glad I participated!
ダイヤモンドヘッドの辺りに来てもなかなかクジラの姿が見えないので、今日は見ることができないかもと少し諦めた時に、すっごく遠くに潮吹きが見えました。その瞬間、船がクジラの方に向かってすごいスピードで進んでいき、クジラが見える所まで近づいてくれました!
その後も、クジラの泳ぎを遮らないように、並走してくれて、ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにクジラを見る方ができました。とても感動した瞬間でした!
船が港へ戻り出した為、他の乗客は船内に戻って行きましたが、ずっとクジラを見ていると、かなり離れていましたが、クジラの大ジャンプを見ることができました!!
帰り途中にも2グループのクジラを見る方ができたので、潮吹きを探してみると良いと思います。
乗船後に提供された軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドもとても美味しく、紅茶やコーヒーと一緒に船内で食べることができました!
クジラの説明など日本語でのアナウンスもきちんとありますので、英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。生き物ですので毎回見られるとは限りませんが、多少遠くても船が近づいていってくれるので、参加して良かったと思います!
I went up to the top deck, making sure I could see from either side of the ship. Also, when the ship starts to head back, everyone tends to go back inside, but I think it's better to stay and watch be
最上階に上り、船の左右のどちらからでも見えるようにしていました。また、船が帰り出すと皆んな船内に戻りがちですが、そのまま見ているよと大ジャンプをしていたので見続けた方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. It's great that you enjoyed the snacks on board and the views of Waikiki. We also appreciate your very positive review. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラのジャンプをご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。そして、船内での軽食やワイキキの景色など楽しんで頂き良かったですね。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I was able to enjoy many thrilling attractions. The transportation was accompanied by a Japanese attendant, which made me feel at ease.
たくさんの絶叫アトラクションを楽しむことができました。送迎は日本人のアテンドがついていたので、安心できました。
It's recommended to plan your schedule in advance so you can enjoy many attractions within the time limit. The security checks are strict, so it's best to purchase food and drinks on-site, except for
時間内に多くのアトラクションを楽しめるように事前にスケジュールを考えておくのがおすすめです。持ち物検査は厳しいので、お水以外の飲食物は現地で購入するといいと思います。
I was worried that my daughter, who easily gets seasick because it's a large ship, might have a hard time, but despite taking motion sickness medication, she ended up feeling sick. 😭 She couldn't even go out on deck and just sat in a chair, waiting for the return to port. I don't know why the medication didn't work, but it was unfortunate, especially since she was looking forward to it more than anyone. 😒
We were able to see whales a few times, although from a distance. 😊👌
大型船なので船酔いし易い娘でも大丈夫かなと思っていたのですが、酔い止めを飲んで行ったにもかかわらず酔ってしまいました😭
デッキにも出られず椅子に座りきりで、ひたすら帰港を待っていました。
なぜ酔い止めが効かなかったのかわかりませんが、気の毒でした。
娘の方が楽しみにしていたので😒
鯨は遠目ですが、何回か見ることができました😊👌
I think it's better to firmly imprint the sight of the whale in your memory. If you try to capture it on camera or video, you might miss the precious opportunity to witness it.
鯨は目にしっかり焼き付けたほうが良いと思います。
カメラやビデオに撮ろうとすると、せっかくの目撃チャンスを逃してしまうかも❓
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very sorry to hear that your daughter, who was looking forward to this cruise, was not feeling well, but we are glad that you were able to observe whales. We hope you will visit us again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
今回のクルーズを楽しみにされていた娘様のご気分が大変残念でしたが、クジラの観測ができた事を嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
I had seen the water show by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas before, so I wasn't expecting much this time, but it was surprisingly impressive for its smaller scale. It was great to have seats up high, as I could see the whole performance. It seems that sitting lower could lead to a sore neck.
ラスベガスでシルクドソレイユの水のショーを見たことがあったので、今回はあまり期待はしていなかったのですが、規模が小さいわりには見ごたえがありました。
席が上の方だったので全体を見渡せて良かったです。
下の方の席だと首が痛くなってしまうようです。
I think it's a good idea to bring something to wear since the air conditioning is strong.
冷房が効いているので、羽織るものを持っていったほうが良いと思います。
AUANA was absolutely wonderful! It was immersive and had the best performance! If you're going to Hawaii, you definitely should see it.
AUANAとっても素晴らしかったです!
臨場感と最高のパフォーマンスでした!
ハワイに行くなら是非観て頂きたいです。
It was my first time snorkelling, and the experience was fantastic! The equipment was clean, well-maintained, and easy to use. If you're not comfortable swimming in the ocean like me, I highly recommend renting a life vest for extra confidence.
From the start, everything was well-organized. The shuttle bus driver was friendly and informative, sharing insights about Oahu’s geography, and pointing out tourist attractions and great restaurants along the way. He even handed out pictures of ocean creatures we might spot, which made the ride even more exciting!
Overall, a great experience, I’d definitely recommend it!
