Oahu
This tour truly felt like a power spot, and I received so much energy from it. The staff were all very kind, and I definitely want to recommend it. Next time, I would like to join the BBQ tour!
このツアーはまさにパワースポットって感じなくらいパワーもらえました。
スタッフは皆さんとても親切ですし、絶対おススメしたい。
この次は、BBQのツアーに参加してみたいです☆
We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.
The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.
All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.
There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊
早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。
スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)
またハワイに行って、イルカと泳ぎたいです^^
The pickup was the very first thing. We visited several hotels and got on the highway, taking just under an hour for a restroom break (I’m not sure of the exact location, but it was very close to Heia Boat Harbor).
We joined up with another bus and boarded the boat.
The weather was fantastic and calm, which was great, but unfortunately, we didn’t encounter any natural turtles. We all looked for them, but we didn’t find any. However, we did see a turtle at the sandbar. It was very friendly and would come close when we approached, but the guide warned us that if we put our hands down, it might bite, so we ran away with the kids (laughs).
The sandbar was unfortunately only about knee-deep, but it was very beautiful. It was a bit cold, probably because it was mid-May. Everyone was saying it was cold and seemed to be splashing around in the sea like they were in a bath. Plus, we had to walk from where the boat could go to the shallow area, and there were surprisingly many rocks and stones, so I had to carry my child because their feet hurt.
I also participated in snorkeling, but it was in a pretty deep area where I couldn’t reach the bottom, so I went alone, leaving my family behind. There were a lot of fish, but it was too deep to see the corals up close. It was just a back-and-forth splash, and honestly, it was boring. It would have been fun if there was a circular course to explore...
The barbecue was really delicious. Also, the donuts we had before going into the sea were hot and amazing.
On the way back, the bus had towels laid out and the air conditioning was turned off. It was very kind of them to allow us to stay wet. Everyone was exhausted, so we arrived quickly.
All the staff were cheerful and it was fun. It was reassuring to be surrounded by Japanese people.
I definitely want to participate again next time. Hopefully, during a warmer season...
ピックアップは一番最初でした。数ヶ所ホテルをまわり高速に乗って1時間弱でトイレ休憩(場所はわかりませんが、へエイア・ボート・ハーバーのすぐ近くでした)
他のバスと合流して、ボートに乗りました。
とても天気がよく穏やかな日で最高でしたが、残念ながら天然のカメさんには出会えませんでした。みんなで探したのですが出会えませんでした。サンドバーにいたカメさんには出会えました。すごく人になついていて近くに行くと寄ってきますが、手を下にするとかまれるよってガイドさんに言われたので子供と逃げました(笑)
サンドバーは残念ながら膝下くらいでしたが、とてもキレイでした。ただ5月中旬だったからか寒かったです。みんな寒い寒いってお風呂に入っているみたいに海につかっていました。しかも船がいける所から浅瀬まで歩くのですが、意外と岩や石が多く、子供は足が痛いって抱っこして行きました。
シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、足が届かないかなり深い場所だったので家族をおいて1人で参加。お魚はたくさんいたのですがあまりにも深い場所でサンゴが近くでは見れませんでした。しかもただバシャバシャ行って帰ってくるだけの往復。正直、つまらなかったです。ぐるっと回るような周回コースがあれば楽しいのに・・・。
バーベキューはとってもおいしかったです。あと海に入る前にいただいたドーナツもアツアツで最高でした。
帰りのバスにはちゃんとタオルも敷いてあって冷房も切ってありました。濡れたままでOKでとても親切。みんなぐったりしてたのですぐにつきました。
スタッフの人達はみな明るくて楽しかったです。
日本人ばかりで安心です。
次回も是非参加したいです。今度は暖かい時に・・・。
This was our family's first trip to Hawaii. We participated thinking we could enjoy authentic hula and food. As expected, the powerful and graceful movements of the wahine and the muscular dances of the kane were truly wonderful. Our family, while doing hula, learned a lot.
The food was very delicious. As expected from Hilton!! However, my youngest daughter, who just lost two front teeth during this trip, struggled with her favorite corn...
今回初めての家族でのハワイ旅行でした。本場のフラと食事を堪能できると思い参加しました。予想通り迫力があるし体もしなやかなワヒネ、マッチョ体型のカネの踊りは本当に素晴らしかった。 フラをしている私たち家族はとてもいい勉強になりました。
食事の方はとてもおいしかったです。さすがヒルトン!!
ただ、この旅行中に前歯二本抜けたばかりの次女は大好きなコーンに四苦八苦。。。

I went on May 14th with my children, who are in the first and third grades. Since it was our first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to create fun memories for the kids, so I chose a course that included a barbecue and unlimited soft drinks.
We were picked up from the hotel and visited several hotels, arriving at the park just after 10 AM. We had to wait at the entrance for a while because we could only enter from 10:30 AM.
Although we had a limited time from 10:30 AM to 3 PM, both the kids and adults had a great time, but we still felt that the time was not enough.
Once we entered the park, we changed clothes, played, and had lunch, and the time really flew by. We even talked as a family about wanting to come back while we were playing.
Walking barefoot in the park under the strong Hawaiian sun was tough. It felt like my soles might get burned, so next time I want to wear something like beach shoes.
Also, I want to rent a car next time so we can play until closing time.
Although it was called a lunch barbecue, what was provided was a lunch box with a grilled meat bento, salad, and fruit. They said it was all-you-can-eat, but we couldn't eat that much... However, my fruit-loving kids went back for seconds.
5/14に行きました。小学1年、3年の子供と一緒にでした。初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、子供たちに楽しい思い出を残してあげたかったのでバーベキューとソフトドリンク飲み放題付きのコースにしました。
ホテルにピックアップに来てもらって、いくつかのホテルを回り、パークに付いたのは10時過ぎ。10時30分からしか入れないとの事でしばらく入り口で待たされました。
10時30分~15時までと限られた時間の中、子供も大人も凄く楽しめましたが、やっぱり時間が足らないと感じました。
パーク内に入り、着替えをして遊んで、ランチを食べて、本当にあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。遊びながらまた来たいねと家族で話すほど。
ハワイの強い日差しの中、素足でパーク内を歩くのはヤバかった。足の裏がやけどしてしまいそうだったので、次回行くときは、ビーチシューズみたいのを履いて歩きたいと思います。
それから、次回は営業時間いっぱいに遊びたいのでレンタカーを借りて行きたいな。
ランチバーベキューとあったけど、提供されたのはランチボックスに入った焼き肉弁当、サラダ、フルーツでした。こちらが食べ放題とのことだっったけど、そんなに食べられない・・・ただフルーツLOVEな子供たちはおかわりしてました。
I am very grateful to my guide, Mr. Abe. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy Kauai Island at a leisurely pace. His storytelling was also very relaxed, making the journey feel effortless. Although he had already retired once and was working again, it felt like his experience really made a difference.
I could clearly see the impact of the two major hurricanes that hit Kauai, with damaged buildings and free-roaming birds still evident today.
The fern cave wasn't very impressive, but the mini Grand Canyon was lovely.
私は阿部さんというガイドさんにとても感謝しています。
時間をゆったり作って回っていただいたので、カウアイ島を堪能できました。
お話もとってもゆったりしていらして、つかれることのない道中でした。
すでに一度は退職されており、再雇用でのお仕事とのことでしたが、そんな経験が物をいうという感じでした。
カウアイ島が2回も大きなハリケーンに見舞われ、大きな被害があったことは今も残る壊れたままの建造物や放し飼いになった鳥などでよくわかりました。
シダの洞窟はあんまり印象的ではありませんでしたが、ミニグランドキャニオンは素敵でした。
From March 17 to March 21, I went to Hawaii with my family. We booked a tour to swim with dolphins as the main event!
Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.
On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!
3/17~3/21まで家族でHAWAIIに行きました。
メインイベントとしてイルカと泳ぐツア−を予約!
当日お天気はあまり良くなかったのに、しっかりイルカと
泳げたし(手の届くほど近くといいうワケではなかったけ れど…)エイも近くで見れたし、何よりカメラマンさんが
一生縣命イルカの側に連れて行ってくれようとしてくれて
有難かったです。
おまけに、日本時間と現地時間を間違えて参加日を一日間違 えてたにも関わらず、快く参加させてもらえ
ほんと 良いツア−でした!
Also $8 optional shopping trip to town ws not mentioned
Food could have been better, very greasy
Next time I would do pizza not the bbq/chinese option
Had fun on the beach even though snorkleing is not very good, too far to walk and water not the clearest up close
Thanks to the very friendly staff, I was able to enjoy myself despite the unfortunate weather.
However, it was a bit disappointing as it was somewhat different from the image of a sandy beach. It is quite affected by the weather and the tides, so I might need to try a few times.
If I have the chance again, I would like to go back.
とても楽しいスタッフさんのおかげで、あいにくの天気でしたが、なんとか楽しむことができました。
ただ、サンドビーチのイメージとはちょっと違っていたのが残念でした。
天候と海の満ち引きの時間にかなり影響されるので、何度かチャレンジしないとかもしれません。
また機会があれば、行きたいです。
I immediately recognized the large bus marked "Wet n Wild." The driver was a foreigner, but the guide was Japanese, and I quickly received a wristband that served as my ticket before boarding the bus.
Inside the bus, there was a monitor, and I thought they would show videos of the park, but it only provided audio explanations. That was a bit disappointing. Since I had some free time, I looked at the pamphlet I received. The bus stopped at about five hotels and took about an hour to reach our destination. However, there was no explanation that the park opened at 10:30, so we arrived at 10:00 and ended up waiting in the blazing sun for about 30 minutes without knowing what was going on. (During that time, I applied sunscreen.)
Additionally, I heard from the guide that no food or drinks could be brought into the park, so I threw away two half-finished plastic bottles in the trash at the entrance. However, the guide who checked our bags only glanced at them briefly. (That felt a bit wasteful.)
The park was very large, but since there were children with us, the activities were somewhat limited. So, we mostly played (taking turns as a couple). There was a long slide suitable for kids, and there were water guns, and if you let your guard down, water would splash down on you, which was a lot of fun. We played together with other children.
For lunch, there was only one place to eat. Moreover, there was no Japanese menu, so we ordered by looking at pictures. I wasn't sure what the rolled item was, but it turned out to be slightly spicy potatoes. It was quite tasty. Just keep in mind that only cash is accepted, so it might be a good idea to bring a little extra.
Since my child is small, I needed towels and tissues for wiping noses, so I didn't leave my bag in a locker. I placed my belongings on a chair while we played, but there were staff members around, so nothing happened. In the lazy river, we borrowed floaties and swam together, and our belongings were safe.
For the return trip, we had to gather at the bus by 3:15, so the time really flew by. After eating and playing a bit, it was already 3:00. If you want to do more, you might need to manage your time carefully. Since you also need to account for the time to return to the hotel, it can't be helped, but I wish they would stay open a little longer (the park closes at 4:30).
The return bus had air conditioning, so...
ウエットアンドワイルドと書かれた大きなバスでピックアップすぐにわかりました。
ドライバーさんは外人さんでしたがガイドさんが日本人の方で、すぐにチケットとなるリストバンドを手首にしてバスに乗りました。
バスの中にはモニターがあって園内の映像でも流れるのかと思ったらただ音声での説明だけ。ちょっと残念。暇だったのでもらったパンフレットを見てました。
バスは5件くらいホテルをまわり高速に乗って1時間くらいでつきました。
でもオープンが10時半からと説明もなかったので10時に着いてわけもわからず30分くらい炎天下で並んでいました。(その間に日焼け止めを塗りましたが)
また、園内には飲み物や食べ物は一切持ち込めないとガイドさんから聞いていたので、飲みかけのペットボトル2本を入口のゴミ箱に捨てました。でも見に来たのはさっきのガイドさんで、しかもさらっとしかバックを見なかったです。(ちょっともったいなかった)
園内はとても広かったですが子供もいたので遊べる物は限られていました。なのであまり他のことはしないで(夫婦交代交代で)遊びました。でも子供にしては長いすべり台もあるし水が出る鉄砲みたいなのはあるし、気を抜いていると貯まった水がジャーっとかかるしと、とっても楽しかったです。他の子供と一緒になって遊んでいました。
お昼は食べるところが1箇所しかないです。しかも日本語メニューはないので絵でみて注文しました。クルクルしたものがなんなのかわからなかったのですが、ちょっと辛いポテトでした。普通においしかったです。ただ全て現金しか使えないので少し多めに持って行った方がいいかも。
子供も小さいのでタオルや鼻水を拭くティッシュが必要だったのでバックはロッカーには預けませんでした。イスに荷物を置いて遊んでいましたがあちらこちらにスタッフがいるので何事もありませんでした。
流れるプールでは浮き輪を借りてみんなで泳ぎましたが荷物も無事でした。
帰りは3時15分にバスに集合だったので、ホントにあっという間です。ご飯を食べてちょっと遊んで着替えるとすぐに3時です。他にもあれこれ乗りたいなら時間配分が必要かも。ホテルに帰る時間も必要だからしょうがないけど、もう少し遅くまでやっていればなーと思います(園内は4時半で終わり)
帰りのバスはクーラーが効いているので
My wife and I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time and enjoyed it immensely. The "Ha, Breath of Life" show was as spectacular as we were told and read about. Our kudo's to our escort Summer. She did a very commendable job.
The Engs
The space between the tables was narrow, making it difficult to eat comfortably. However, the taste was excellent, especially the pasta, which was exquisite.
テーブル間が狭くて、落ち着いて食べれなかった。しかし、味は最高で、特にパスタが絶品でした。
I participated with my elementary school son. He said it was the most fun he had on our trip to Hawaii (laughs).
小学生の息子と参加しました。
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったと息子は言ってました(笑)
It was a somewhat cloudy day, but the clear sea was really nice. The staff members were friendly and approachable.
当日は少し曇りがちな日、でも、透明度の高い海はとっても良かったです。スタッフの方々もフレンドリーで親しみやすかったです。
After the New Year, I went on my honeymoon. I wanted to enjoy the ocean in Hawaii, so I joined this tour.
The breathtakingly clear sea, coral reefs, tropical fish... and sea turtles.
I was able to encounter various creatures living in the ocean.
The guide was efficient and provided detailed and enjoyable explanations.
It became a very memorable tour.
Since you can take photos, a waterproof camera is an essential item!
正月明けに、新婚旅行で行きました。ハワイの海を楽しみたく、このツアーに参加。
息を飲むような透明度の高い海、珊瑚礁、熱帯魚…そしてウミガメ
海に棲む様々な生き物たちに出会えました。
ガイドさんは手際もよく詳しく楽しい説明をしてくださいました。
とても思い出に残るツアーとなりました。
写真も撮れるので、防水機能付きのカメラは必須アイテムです!
By far the best Luau in Oahu. 'Chief' is on to a winner with his Luau. He entertains you from the start to the end of the evening with his brilliant comedy skills, his drumming, singing and, of course, his fire dance which is sensational. There is a lot of audience participation, the food is excellent and it all adds up to the most magical evening. 'Chief' has an excellent team with him and I would highly recommend this Luau to anyone.
I rode a boat for the first time in Hawaii. I saw mother and baby whales a few times, but it was just for a moment. I enjoyed the scenery from the boat, and the breeze felt nice, so I'm glad I participated.
The inside of the boat was too cold due to the air conditioning. I wished I had brought a jacket.
ハワイに来て初めて船に乗りました。親子のクジラ何度か見えました。一瞬でした。船から景色も楽しめて風も気持ち良くて参加して良かったです。
船内はク−ラ−がききすぎて寒かったです。上着を持っていけば良かったなぁと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise this time.
During this season's cruise, we were able to see mother and baby whales quite often.
The sight of them swimming together is truly adorable.
We are very pleased that you were able to catch a glimpse of them, even for a moment.
Many restaurants and buses in Hawaii tend to be overly air-conditioned, so I think it would be a good idea to carry something to wear over your clothes.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
今シーズンのクルーズでは鯨の親子を良く見る事ができました。
親子で泳いでいる姿は本当に可愛いですよね。
お客様にもその姿を一瞬でもご覧いただけて、大変嬉しく思います。
ハワイのレストランやバスはとてもクーラーがききすぎている所が多いので、上に羽織るものを持ち歩くと良いと思います。
皆様の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。

予約課
This is my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I've always wanted to ride on this catamaran but couldn't participate because it was fully booked. I finally got to join this time.
The high demand is likely due to the cost and the fact that it's a two-and-a-half-hour tour, making it accessible even for those not staying for a long period.
Even if you don't understand English at all, you can kind of figure things out! For example, you learn not to sit in the blue areas, to sit on the net when departing, and how to order drinks... I understood most of it.
I'm just mimicking what the foreigners do, but anyway, it's a lot of fun. It really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii! The captain, who looked like a pirate, and the crew were quite friendly and cool. My wife also got to take a picture with them.
ハワイ旅行は、5回目なのですが、今までこのカタマランに乗りたくて申込してきましたが、満員で参加できていませんでした。ようやく参加できました。
参加希望の多さは、コスト的なこともそうですが、約2時間半のツアーであることもその理由かと思います。長期間の滞在でなくとも参加できます。
英語が全く分からなくとも、なんとなく解かってしまいますね!青色の場所には座らないでとか、出航の時には網の上に座ってくれとか、飲み物の注文は、・・・・大体わかりました。
外人の見よう見まねなのですが・・・
とにかく楽しめます。ハワイに来たのだと自分に確認させることができますよ!
海賊みたいな図体の艇長さんと乗組員は、結構親切で恰好よかったです。わが女房も一緒に写真に撮ってもらいました。
My daughter wanted to go snorkeling on her graduation trip with five friends, so we signed up. After returning home, her feedback was that everything was fantastic. The activities at the sandbar, the time management, and the meals were all plentiful and delicious. The captain who cooked for us was also a wonderful person, and the staff seemed very kind. They even got to see sea turtles, which was truly moving! Overall, we were extremely satisfied, and we would love to participate again the next time we visit Hawaii.
娘が友達5人での卒業旅行でシュノーケリングがしたいというので申し込みしました。帰国後の感想は、すべてに於いて最高のようでした。サンドバーでのアクティビティ、時間配分、食事もボリュウム満点でとても美味しく、調理してくれたキャプテンも素敵な方・・スタッフも親切だったようです。ウミガメにも本当に会えて感動!とにかく大満足で次回渡ハするときはまた参加したいですね。
Great trip. Enjoyed the catamaran trip to the sandbar followed by snorkeling and volleyball in the water; the burgers were great and snorkeling later with the turtles and fish was awesome! Highly recommended for anyone!
The performance was wonderful. Since I chose the premium seats, I was able to enjoy it well, and I could eat at the buffet without waiting. However... I felt like something was missing, and upon reflection, it was that I couldn't participate, just watching. When I came to Hawaii before, during the sunset cruise, there was dancing right in front of me, and jumping in to participate was so much fun.
パフォーマンスは素晴らしかったです。プレミアムシートにしたのでよく鑑賞できたしビュッフェも待たされずに食べることができました。でも。。。何か物足りない感じがして、よく考えたら観ているだけで参加できなかったことだと。以前ハワイに来たとき、サンセット・クルーズでは目の前でのダンスがあり、飛び入り参加がとても楽しかったので。
Thank you for joining us at the Starlight Luau. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the show. This tour is more of a performance to be watched rather than an interactive experience, so it may have differed slightly from your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は、スターライト・ルアウにお越しいただきありがとうございます。ショーをお楽しみいただき大変嬉しく思っております。こちらのツアーは参加型というよりはパフォーマンスを鑑賞していただくルアウショーとなりますため、ご期待とは少し異なった印象となってしまったのかと存じます。またのお越しをお待いたしております。
First of all, even though the meeting place was our hotel, it took a while for the guide to be identified. It seems that the dancer who was performing was the guide. We saw other tourists talking to that dancer and being taken somewhere, so we decided to try asking them too, and we were able to arrive safely.
Then, there was a long line to the venue, and it took a lot of time before we could take our seats. Since we had reserved Golden Circle seats, we sat in the front row, and those in the Golden Circle were prioritized for food, so we could start eating quickly. However, those in the regular seats seemed to go for food more than 30 minutes later, so I definitely recommend reserving Golden Circle seats.
Also, when ordering beer, it seems that Japanese people are often perceived as looking younger, so they checked our age. In our case, they didn't ask for a passport, but if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring an ID that shows your age.
The show featured dancers changing outfits one after another, and we got to see various dances. Personally, I found the solo dance of a little girl to be incredibly cute!
まず、集合場所が自分たちの宿泊ホテルだったにも関わらず、案内人が判明するまで時間がかかりました(A;´・ω・)
ダンスパフォーマンスをしていたダンサーさんが案内人だったみたいですw
他の観光客らしき人たちが、そのダンサーさんに声をかけてどこかに連れて行かれるのを見て、試しに声をかけると、私たちも無事、到着できた感じです。
そして会場まで長蛇の列で、席につくまでとても時間がかかりました。
ゴールデンサークル席を予約していたので、一番前の席に座り、ゴールデンは食事を取りに行くのも優先なので、早く食べ始めることができましたが、普通席の方々は30分以上も後に食事を取りに行くかんじなので、ぜひゴールデンサークル席を予約されることをお勧めします☆
あとはビール注文時に、やはり日本人は若く見られるらしく年齢を確認されたので(20代後半の私)、私たちの場合はパスポート提示までは求められませんでしたが、心配な方は年齢がわかる身分証を持って行かれたほうが良いかと思います。
ショーはダンサーさん達が次から次へと着替え、色々なダンスを見ることができました☆
個人的に小さな女の子のソロダンスが可愛くて仕方なかったです+.(o´∀`o).+
Booked this activity with a few friends, as we wanted to do something fun in the evening, and what a great choice this was! Being close to Waikiki is the first perk, but the entertainment and scenery makes it even better.
We were running late, so missed some of the crafts before the luau, but as soon as got there they were starting the Imu ceremony, which was unlike anything I have ever seen! Between Chief Seilu, who is the definition of entertainment, to the dancing, music, and wonderful food, this was definitely a night none of us will ever forget. Thanks Chief for keeping us laughing the whole time!
The show was in English, so I thought it would be more enjoyable if I understood the language, but the show itself was powerful and wonderful, so I was glad to participate. The food was decent, and it was interesting to have Hawaiian food as well. During the show, people celebrating their birthdays or those visiting for their honeymoon were brought to the front to be celebrated, which I think made for great memories. However, the Japanese honeymoon couple seemed a bit shy while dancing together to the live band.
ショーは英語なので、言葉が分かるともっと楽しめると思いましたが、ショー自体が迫力があってすばらしいので、参加して良かった。食事もまあまあで、ハワイアンフードもありめずらしかった。ショーの中で今日が誕生日の人や今回ハネムーンで訪れている人など特別な人が前にでてみんなにお祝いされるのも、いい思い出になると思いました。ただ、日本人のハネムーンカップルは生バンドに合わせて抱き合いながらのダンスはちょっとはずかしそうでしたよ。
I participated with a group of nine, including my friend's family. The singing, hula dancing, and fire dancing were impressive, and the children had a great time. I created wonderful memories with my friends.
友人家族と9名で参加しました。歌やフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、迫力があり子供達もとても楽しんでいました。
友人との良い思い出ができました。
Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was by far the best luau I've ever been to! I've gone to other luaus on the island but this one hands down beats all the others. The venue alone has spectacular views of the mountains and the ocean directly in front of you. After sunset you can even see Makapu'u light house lit up in the distance.
Chief Sielu was a FANTASTIC host. Right when you arrived you felt so welcomed by the Chief and the other staff. Not only were they welcoming and made you feel comfortable. He had my friends and I laughing the entire time, his humor was hysterical! Not to mention the entire luau was super interactive and informative. Chief Sielu is SO passionate about his culture and passing his knowledge on to others, that the entire luau was both extremely entertaining but also educational, which was great.
All the performances, dances, and traditions that were taught to us were amazing. The fire dancing was spectacular and far beyond my expectations! The food was also delici
First off... I will RECOMMEND this luau over any other luau on Oahu. This didn’t even feel like an activity or a tour I paid for, it felt like I was invited to a festive Hawaiian family gathering.
I have been to many "traditional" luaus, and usually leave during the show because it gets so boring, everyone does the same routine..over and over again. Not at this luau. I cannot explain how good of a time we had.
The show was great and the Chief grabbed your attention the minute you walked in, he was so funny! Chief Sielu had my friend and I laughing so hard we had to put our drinks and camera down because we wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
One of the main highlights was the fire knife dancing, it started off with 1 dancer, then 2, 3, 4, 5...it just kept on going!! I think at one time the stage nearly caught on fire but they just kept on flipping their fire knives, throwing it in the air..it was soooo exciting!!!
This luau felt like a family gathering, everyone shared
I participated with my husband and our 4-year-old and 0-year-old children.
I had many worries about bringing a baby, but I was truly moved by the beauty of the ocean. The water was cold, and we returned to the boat once, but since we had come all this way and the sky and sea were so beautiful, I thought it would be a waste to just watch from the boat. So, I held the baby and went into the water, which was waist-deep. However, in the shallows, it was only knee-deep.
I had heard that we couldn't use a stroller, so my husband and I took turns holding the baby. Fortunately, the baby didn't cry, which was a relief.
The BBQ burgers on the boat were delicious. While enjoying the beautiful ocean view, we ate hamburgers and listened to a lot of Hawaiian music, making it a relaxing day.
We couldn't go snorkeling, but we were able to see a turtle popping its head out of the water from the boat.
Since the boat was full, I thought it was a bit cramped for us with all our luggage.
旦那さんと4歳と0歳の子供を連れて参加しました
赤ちゃん連れで心配な事もたくさんありましたが本当に海のキレイさに感動しました。海が冷たくて一度船に戻りましたが、せっかく来たしこんなに空と海がキレイなのに、船からみてるのはもったいないと思い赤ちゃんを抱っこして腰までの深さの海に入りました。でも浅瀬へ行くと膝ぐらいの深さでした
ベビーカーは使えないと聞いてたのでずっと旦那さんと赤ちゃんを交代で抱っこしてました
幸い泣き叫ぶこともなくてよかったです
船上でのBBQバーガーは美味しかったです
キレイな海を眺めながらハンバーガーを食べてたくさんのハワイアンミュージックを歌ってもらいのんびりした一日となりました
シュノーケルはできませんでしたが、船からカメが顔を出してる所を見ることができました
船内は満席だったため荷物の多い私達には少し狭かったかなと思いました
I chose to go to the Chief’s Luau at Sea Life Park because it was close to Waikiki but not IN Waikiki. And I had been to Sea Life Park and the ocean views there are absolutely gorgeous. The main reason I chose this one was I had heard so much about Chief Sielu. Everyone says he’s the best in the South Pacific and “everyone” were correct. What a luau!
In my humble opinion, the Chief’s Luau is the best. The Chief Sielu is even better than his reputation. He and his huge cast of male and female dancers first entertained us with crafts, how to weave, make fire, and dance hula. Then the Chief narrated the imu ceremony where they pulled the pig from the underground imu oven. Informative and funny. Dinner was great. Then came the show. Beyond entertaining, exceptionally funny, and more fire knife dancers than I expected. There were about 7 or 8 of them doing really wild stuff.
One of the best parts of this luau was its proximity to where I was staying in Waikiki. It took less than 30 m
