Oahu
I took a special By One Get One ticket deal for the early bird whale watching tour and it was phenomenal. We had the pleasure of standing by the naturalist, Alyssa for most of the trip and she was very informative and a joy to be around. We saw a momma and her calf breach, and several fluke tail breach’s. The star itself had a ton of space to allow families to spread out and was clean. What a great experience!
Get the BOGO and make sure to park at pier 5&6 for free parking
I watched all the Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas.
I think this Cirque du Soleil was the best. The venue is small in a good way, and the stage is close.
I was moved as I could hear the performers' breathing.
ラスベガスですべてのシルク・ド・ソレイユを観覧していました
このシルク・ド・ソレイユが一番良かったと思えます
いい意味で会場が小さく、ステージが近いです
演者さんの息遣いが聞こえてくるようで感動しました
I was with a small child and an elderly person, but the staff were very kind and provided appropriate assistance, which was very helpful! I had a great time.
小さい子と年寄り連れでしたがスタッフの方もとても優しくそれ相応に対応してくださりとても助かりました!楽しかったです
There are many activities, so I recommend planning your time wisely!
アクティビティが多く時間がたりないので配分を考えて行動をおすすめ!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for joining us on the tour with such a large group this time. I am very happy to hear that everyone enjoyed themselves. We strive to ensure that everyone can enjoy the tour at their own pace, regardless of age. Please come back and visit us again! 🌺 A hui hou!!! 🌺
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。今回は大勢でツアーにご参加いただきまして本当にありがとうございました。
皆様に楽しんで頂けたとお聞きし大変うれしいです。年齢は関係なく、皆様それぞれのペースでツアーを楽しんで頂けるよう心がけております。ぜひまた遊びにいらしてくださいませ。🌺A hui hou!!!🌺
From the boat, I was able to see sea turtles up close, and I also saw several while snorkeling. They scattered food, which attracted many fish.
It was a bit disappointing that the sea was a little murky, probably because it was an afternoon trip.
The staff were very kind, and it was a fun experience.
船の上からも海亀が近くで見ることができ、シュノーケルでも何匹も見ることができました。エサをまいてくれたので、沢山の魚が寄って来てくれていました。
午後便だからか、海が少し濁っていたのが残念でした。
スタッフの方々もとても親切で楽しい体験ができました。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I'm glad you were able to see sea turtles and many fish. The condition of the ocean can change from day to day, so it's difficult to say whether the morning or afternoon is better. I hope you enjoy your next visit even more than this time. We sincerely look forward to that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございます。海亀やたくさんの魚に会えたようで良かったです。
海の状態はその日によって変わるため午前午後どちらが良いとは言い切れないところが難しいところです。次回は今回以上にもっと楽しんで頂けますように。
その日をウミガメたちと心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo!
The Star of Honolulu crew knows exactly what they are doing. The night before our trip they called to ensure that we knew exactly where to begin our adventire. At 200 feet, the Star is steady in the morning sea. The crew is knowledgeable and helpful. We were given a brief lesson in whale anatomy, diet, and behavior before we set out. We understood the challenges and likely outcomes of our trip. We did see whales. We would have liked to have seen more, but we were well prepared for the visit we received. This was a a grest start to our vacation
We had the Star crew pick us up at our hotel. It was a stress free value.
Everything ran on time, the boat was clean and functioned properly. The crew was great; very fun and engaging. The crew provided a lot of local information/history. The water is just a little on the cold side, so a sun/swim shirt or a wet suit top may be a good idea. If you don’t want to use community snorkels, you may want to bring your own.
Sunscreen. Masks and snorkels provided, no flippers, but those aren’t necessary.
Aloha! Thank you for your 5 star and very useful information! We look forward to seeing you soon!
I checked the tide forecast and went at the time when it was supposed to be 0m, but the water depth at the site was 50-60cm. I had a decent time with the floaties and SAP. The staff was friendly, and there were explanations in Japanese on the boat, so I had no worries at all.
潮位予測をみて0mの時間に行きましたが、現場は50-60cmの水深でした。
浮き輪やSAPでまぁまぁ楽しめました。スタッフはフレンドリーで、船内では日本語での説明もあり、何も不安はありませんでした。
The shuttle bus was colder than I expected.
送迎バスの中が思ったよりも寒かったです。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It's a bit disappointing that the tide predictions were off, but I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour nonetheless. I hope to see all of your smiles again! 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いただきましてありがとうございました。
潮の予測がはずれてちょっと残念でしたが、それでもツアーを楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。また皆様の笑顔にお会いできますように!A hui hou!
The desire to entertain the audience is overflowing.
It was a wonderful show.
There are restrooms on both the second and third floors, where the theater is located. There is a takeout bar at the theater entrance, and you can bring drinks inside.
The center seats are recommended, but the front row requires looking up, so seats about six rows back are easier to see.
観客を楽しませる思いが溢れてる
素晴らしいショーでした。
トイレは2階にも劇場がある3階にもあります。劇場入り口にテイクアウトバーがありドリンク持ち込めます。
先はセンターお勧めですが最前列は見上げるので6席くらい後ろが見やすいです。
You can use a digital voucher. I was told that drinks are not allowed, but there is a takeout bar before you enter after passing through the check-in counter, and you can bring drinks into the theater
デジタルバウチャーで行けます。
飲み物ダメとか言われましたがチェックインカウンターを通って入場するまでにテイクアウトバーがあり劇場内まで持ち込んで飲めます。シートにカップホルダーもついてます。
Cultural experiences are a fun time, and the traditional cuisine buffet dinner with the best views is very satisfying. The Hawaiian show is impressive... the luau "feast" is the best!
文化体験は楽しいひとときで、最高景色での伝統料理ビュッフェディナーも満足のいく内容です。
ハワイアンショーは迫力があって...ルアウ「宴」は最高ですね!
Since it takes time to enter, it seems best to arrive at the venue early.
入場に時間が掛かるので、早めに現地到着するのが良さそうです。
Captain Bob's was great and the crew was fantastic. Volleyball on the sand bar was so much fun!
I watched from the second row of the premium seats. I was thrilled by all the performances. Additionally, there were audience participation segments that made the time fly by without getting bored. It was so much fun. Unlike activities like marine sports, it's great that it isn't affected by the weather.
プレミアシートの二列目で鑑賞しました。すべての演目にドキドキしました。また、途中には観客が参加してのパフォーマンスもあり飽きる事なくあっという間に時間が過ぎました。とても楽しかったです。マリンスポーツなどのアクティビティと違い天気に左右されないのも良いです。
Since the e-tickets did not display properly for multiple entries, I printed out the tickets for each person (by seat).
Eチケットが複数分だとうまく表示されなかったので人数分(席ごと)を印刷していきました。
The pick-up and drop-off to the hotel were handled by a reliable driver, which gave me peace of mind. The goggles, snorkel, and float wetsuit I borrowed were also easy to use. I am very satisfied.
お迎えも返りのホテルまでの送りも、あんしんしまかせられる良いドライバーでした。
お借りしゴーグル、シュノーケル、フロートウエットスーツも、使いやすかったです。
大満足です。
If there were any concerns beforehand, they kindly informed me.
事前に不安なところがあれば、親切に教えてモラエマシタ。
The venue is smaller compared to other Cirque du Soleil shows, which allows for a closer view and a rich sense of presence. It was a wonderful show that beautifully fused Hawaiian culture with acrobatics.
会場は他のシルクドソレイユのショーと比べて狭く、その分近くで見ることが出来て臨場感たっぷりです。
ハワイの文化とアクロバットが融合した素晴らしいショーでした。
I visited during the off-season. Overall, it was not crowded, and there were plenty of beach beds available. My child was too scared to go on the slides, so it ended up being a bit pricey in terms of cost performance, but I would recommend it if you can enjoy the various types of slides.
The lazy river has a gentler current compared to Japan, so it might feel a bit lacking. The wave pool had so many floaties that they ran out.
A Japanese staff member assisted with entry, which was very helpful and easy to understand.
オフシーズンに利用しました。
全体的に空いていて、ビーチベッドも十分使えました。子どもが怖がってスライダーに行けなかったので、コスパとしては高くつきましたが、いろんな種類のスライダーを楽しめるのならおすすめです。
流れるプールは流れが日本よりもゆったりしているので物足りないかもしれません。波の出るプールは浮き輪が足りなくなるくらいでした。
日本人のスタッフの方が入場のお手伝いをしてくださり、わかりやすかったです。
I felt that drinks were unnecessary since there was no time to drink while having fun. You can also bring one unopened bottle of water per person (I brought mine from Japan, haha). For meals, after pu
ドリンクは遊んでいたら飲む暇ないので必要ないと感じました。未開封の水も1人一本持ち込めます。(日本から持っていきました笑)
食事は購入したら隣の窓口でレシートを見せると注文が通ります。
It was exactly as I imagined, the best. It was a bit unclear what the tipping norms were, but even those who aren't confident in their physical strength can enjoy it enough. SAP is difficult...
想像通り最高でした。チップの相場が分かりづらかったですが、体力に自信がない人も十分楽しめます。SAPは難しい…。
Bringing your own snorkel is also an option.
自身のシュノーケル持参もアリです。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. It seems that SAP was quite challenging. Please do come back and give it another try. A hui hou!
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。SAPはなかなか難しかったとのことですね。
ぜひ!また挑戦しにいらしてください。A hui hou!
As soon as we boarded, we had banana bread and coffee. It was really delicious! We were able to see whales about four times. They were a bit far away, though!
乗船してすぐにバナナブレッド、コーヒーをいただきました。すごくおいしかったです!
クジラは4回ほど見ることができました。遠目ではありましたが、、!
Thank you very much for bringing your family on our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the light snacks. 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御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測と軽食をお楽しみ頂け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。
I was looking forward to the Hawaii-exclusive Cirque du Soleil. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience with surprises and entertaining performances that exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by the expressive acting and composition, even without any words, as well as the beautifully sculpted physiques.
ハワイ限定のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユということで楽しみにしていました。期待以上に驚きや楽しい演出が多く、とても楽しい時間でした。
全く言葉がないのに伝わる演技力と構成、そして鍛え抜かれた肉体美に感激しました。
What a great night the staff and cast were so kind. It was very entertaining. My nine-year-old said it was the best night she had in Hawaii highly recommend.
Needed more clarity. Unless you knew what what’s being shared you wouldn’t understand. I wish there was a little more story and less jumping around from story to story. And the dance was to contemporary for the show to be called ‘Auana. Although the movement and the acrobatics was beautifully done. I was just confused with what the concept of the show was about.
Wow! What a wonderful gift being able to experience AUANA, Cirque De Soleil. Wish I had more time in Hawaii to go see it again. Magnificent! Don’t miss it!
Any seat is a great seat…
Have our own private table and food was good. Have freedom to go topside and had our dinner for the fire works. Second time doing this and would do it again.
This was a very enjoyable experience from beginning to end. Getting to see whales was the icing on the top of a scenic and informative trip.
Move around to get different views. They are all special.
All of the staff on the boat, from the Captain to the servers were all very nice, accommodating and service minded. Joshua did a great job answering questions and adding nuggets of knowledge about the trip. The ship was in great condition and prepared for the cruise, and it made for a very relaxing and comfortable voyage.
Unfortunately, we didn’t see any whales on this tour, but as a fisherman, I understand the difference between fishing and catching, and sometimes the fish just aren’t cooperating and ya just need to relax and enjoy the beauty. But, the most important thing is, as Larry Fleet says in the song “Where I Find God”, “you can’t find Peace Like this in a bottle or a pill”.
I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, and if we see a whale, that would just be lagniappe!
Don’t hesitate to book this trip. Very relaxing and easy no matter your physical situation.
Ashlyn was a great tour guide! Pointed out many animals and very knowledgeable and so funny!
Getting picked up by their transport was the best and so easy.
First of all, I was worried because I can't speak English, but as soon as I arrived at the airport, the English-speaking guide approached me, which made me feel at ease. They took us around Kauai Island in a large bus. There were so many highlights, and everything was moving. Perhaps because we were able to share such wonderful views, by the time we were leaving, I had become friends with everyone, and it was sad to say goodbye. This is a tour where you can have a great time even if you're traveling alone!
まず、英語が話せないので英語ガイドさんは不安でしたが空港に着いたらすぐに声をかけてくださって安心しました。大きなバスでカウアイ島を案内してくださいます。
見どころたっぷりで全部が感動でした。
ステキな景色を共有できた為か
帰る頃には、皆さんと仲良くなりお別れが残念でした。
ひとり旅でも楽しく過ごせるツアーです♪
アロハ、そして素晴らしいレビューをありがとうございます!
到着した瞬間から歓迎され、リラックスできたと感じていただけたこと、また言語の不安を感じることなくカウアイの美しさを楽しむことができたことをとても嬉しく思います。このツアーが皆を一つにし、特に一人旅の方にとって思い出に残る友好的な体験を作り出したことを知ることは、本当に心温まることです。
ポリネシアンアドベンチャーを選んでいただき、ありがとうございます。ハワイでの忘れられない瞬間を再びお迎えできることを楽しみにしています。
マハロ、

Aloha and thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re so happy to hear that you felt welcomed and at ease right from your arrival, and that you were able to enjoy the beauty of Kaua‘i despite any language concerns. It’s truly heartwarming to know the tour brought everyone together and created such a memorable and friendly experience—especially for a solo traveler!
Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure. We hope to welcome you back again for more unforgettable moments in Hawai‘i.
Mahalo,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana
The wait time for the meal before it started was long, and the show was somewhat disappointing, but the main event, the rock and roll show, was fantastic.
始まるまでの食事時間が長く、ショーがいまいちでしたが、本番の、ロックフラショーは、素晴らしかったです
The next day was a cruiser tour, but the food was exactly the same.
翌日クルーザーツアーでしたが、、料理が全く同じです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockaflava Original Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the entire entertainment experience of the Rockaflava Show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラオリジナルワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ロッカフラショーのエンターテインメント全体を通して楽しんで頂き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。
Authentic and warm. Food was also excellent. Location was great
I had previously used the Star of Honolulu for the sunset dinner cruise, but this was my first time participating in another activity. I was able to see whales from a distance. Even if you don't understand English, they provide simple explanations like "at 3 o'clock," so there's not much to worry about.
From the boat, I could enjoy the urban skyline of Waikiki alongside the natural beauty of Diamond Head, which truly felt like a Hawaiian landscape. The light snacks, like pineapple banana bread and Kona coffee, were delicious, making this activity enjoyable both as a whale watching experience and simply as a cruise.
スターオブホノルルはサンセットディナークルーズで利用したことはありましたが、それ以外のアクティビティで参加するのは初めてでした。
クジラは少し遠目からですが見ることができました。英語がわからなくても◯時の方向と簡潔に説明してくれるのであまり心配はありません。
船上から見るワイキキの都会的なビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの大きな自然の部分がハワイらしい景色を感じることができました。
軽食のパイナップルバナナブレッドやコナコーヒーもおいしく、ホエールウォッチングの体験としても、シンプルにクルーズ体験としてもとても楽しめたアクティビティでした。
As everyone has mentioned, it can be a bit chilly on the boat, so it's recommended to bring a jacket.
みなさんがおっしゃっている通り、船上は少し寒いので上着持参は推奨です。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise for the first time with your spouse for whale watching. We are delighted that you enjoyed observing the whales, the views from the boat, and the light snacks. We are also pleased that we could help create wonderful memories of Hawaii with such nice weather. Please do visit us again. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦で今回は初めてホエールウォッチングでお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色そして、軽食も楽しんで頂き嬉しく思っております。お天気も良くて素敵なハワイの思い出のお手伝いができた事を再度嬉しく思っております。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。
We participated as a family of six, including our young children. On the way to the sandbar, we spotted a few honu (sea turtles) here and there. We were able to see a heart-shaped reef, and it was a pleasant cruise while enjoying snacks and drinks on board.
After arriving at the sandbar, we split into two groups (maybe depending on the number of participants?), and we alternated between snorkeling tours and activities in two sessions. I thought snorkeling would be just one of the activities, but it felt more like a full tour, so it seemed challenging for those who aren't good swimmers. However, our children, who are not yet confident swimmers, borrowed bodyboards with windows to peek underwater and participated while being pushed by their parents, so they could enjoy it too. We saw many honu here as well.
The activities included canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and floating rings, among others, which was great to experience. Unfortunately, due to our travel schedule, we were there during a neap tide, but we chose a plan that coincided with low tide, so the water level was just knee to thigh deep, which was perfect for paddleboarding and canoeing!
At first, I thought the participation fee was a bit high, but it turned out to be a very satisfying day with the rare experience of seeing many honu.
子供(未就学児)と両親を含め家族6人で参加しました。
サンドバーに向かう最中からホヌ(ウミガメ)がチラホラ。ハート型のリーフも見る事ができ、船上でお菓子や飲み物を楽しみながらの気持ち良いクルージングでした。
サンドバー到着後は、2つのグループに別れ(参加人数にもよるのかな?)、前後半でシュノーケリングツアーとアクティビティを交代してやる感じでした。シュノーケリングはアクティビティの中の一つかと思いきや、ガッツリとツアーのような感じで泳ぐので、泳ぎが苦手な方は大変そうでした。でも、まだ泳ぎも得意とは言えない我が家の子供達は、最初からシュノーケルは使わず、水中を覗ける窓付きのボディボード(?)を借りて、それを親が押しながら参加出来たので、子供でも楽しめました。ここでもホヌが沢山見れました。
アクティビティはカヌーやサップ、浮き輪などなど、、色々体験出来て良かったです。
今回、旅程の関係で残念ながら小潮の時期でしたが、干潮の時間にツアーが重なる日とプランを選んだので、水位は膝〜もも位の深さで、サップやカヌーをやるにはちょうど良かったです!
最初は参加費が高いかなぁと思いましたが、たくさんのホヌに会える貴重な体験も出来て、大満足な1日になりました。
A friend who participated before mentioned that the water depth was chest-high, so I think it's essential for those attending to check the low tide times. Also, February is quite cold, and I shivered
以前参加した友人は、胸位の深さだったそうなので、参加される方は干潮の時間を絶対に調べた方が良いと思いました。あと、2月はさすがに寒く、海から上がると震えたので、この時期に行く方は上着が必要です!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you for joining the tour yesterday. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it with your children. Please come back and visit us again next time you are in Hawaii. We look forward to that day with the honu. A hui hou 🌺
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。昨日はツアーにご参加いただきましてありがとうございました。
お子様とご一緒に楽しんで頂けたとお聞きし大変うれしく思います。次回もまたハワイにお越しの際は遊びにいらしてください。
その日を ホヌたちとともに心待ちしております。A hui hou🌺
The show was entertaining and the Chief is so funny!!!
