Oahu
The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.
料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。

I chose the 45 minute tour of Oahu and it was amazing. It was my first time on a helicopter and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
I participated in a morning plan on September 1st.
Contrary to the clear skies in Waikiki, the area around Kaneohe Bay was unfortunately cloudy. Moreover, the sandbar we were looking forward to visiting had its low tide at just after 6 AM that day, so by the time we arrived, the water level was already up to our knees, and we couldn't stroll on the white sandbar like in the commercials. Therefore, if you really want to walk on the sandbar, I recommend doing some thorough research beforehand.
After returning to the boat and enjoying some light snacks like bread, chips, and fruits, we went snorkeling. A Japanese staff member kindly explained how to use the equipment, so I think even beginners will be fine. Perhaps due to the cloudy weather, the visibility underwater wasn't very clear, but we were still able to see the coral reefs and tropical fish perfectly.
After that, we changed locations for a second snorkeling session. We were supposed to swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, none appeared (cry). However, we were able to see a sea turtle surfacing for air from the boat at another spot♪
On the way back, you can ride in the shuttle car in your swimsuit, so if you have something to throw on, you won't need to change. However, it can get quite cold on the boat, so it's better to have a jacket. Depending on the weather, I wore a hoodie and wrapped myself in a bath towel. Also, since waves can splash into the boat, it might be a good idea to put your belongings in a waterproof bag. If you want to take photos without worrying about getting wet, a waterproof case for your digital camera is a must☆ They were selling waterproof cameras on the boat too, but I think it was around $25?
While I regret not seeing the sandbar due to the weather, the time spent in the beautiful sea became a great memory. I would love to participate again next time for a revenge trip♪
9月1日に午前発のプランに参加しました。
快晴のワイキキとは裏腹に、カネオヘ湾付近はあいにくの曇り空。しかも楽しみにしていたサンドバーは当日の干潮が午前6時過ぎだったということで、私達が到着した頃には既に膝下くらいまでの水位があり、CMのように白いサンドバーを闊歩･･･という具合にはいきませんでした。なのでどうしてもサンドバーを歩きたい！！という方は事前によく調べていくことをオススメします。
ボートに戻ってパンやチップス、フルーツなどの軽食を頂いた後はシュノーケルです。使い方など日本人のスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めての方でも大丈夫だと思いますよ☆曇天のせいか水中もあまりクリアではありませんでしたが、それでも珊瑚礁と熱帯魚はバッチリ見ることができました。
その後ポイントを変えて2度目のシュノーケル。ウミガメと泳ぐ~♪･･･ハズが、カメ現れず（泣）。でも、ボートに戻って他のポイントに行き、船上からでしたが水面で息継ぎをするウミガメに会うことができました♪
帰りは水着のまま送迎車に乗せてもらえるので、羽織るものでもあれば着替えは必要ありません。ただ、船上はかなり寒いので上着があった方がいいです。お天気にもよると思いますが、私はパーカーを着て更にバスタオルにくるまってました。あと、波しぶきが船内まで入ってくることもあるので持ち物はビニールバッグなど濡れてもいいバッグに入れて行った方がいいかもしれません。水濡れを気にせず写真を撮りたい方は、デジカメ用の防水ケースもマストです☆船上でも防水カメラ売ってましたが･･･25ドルだったかな？
お天気とサンドバーを見られなかったのが心残りでしたが、綺麗な海でのひと時はいい思い出になりました。次回、リベンジしにまた参加したいです♪

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!
I signed up for the activity on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Running through the blue sky with the wind while listening to music was incredibly refreshing and felt great. I saw a lot of big turtles. I definitely want to participate again!
知人に勧められてアクテビィティ申し込みました。
音楽をかけながら青い空を風をきって走るのはすごく爽快で気持ちよかったです。大きな亀がたくさん見れました。
また是非参加したいです！

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.
Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.
We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.
I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.
今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール３ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

All the attractions were interesting, but I was surprised by the intensity of the waves in the wave pool; it left the biggest impression on me. The large waves are incomparable to the wave pools I've been to in Japan. If you let your guard down, you might get knocked over by the waves and get hurt.
I also participated in a bodyboarding lesson in this big wave pool. It's fun, but for someone like me, an older woman, or for young children in elementary school, it can be physically demanding. The waves are really big, so it can be a bit dangerous; I saw several people who had fallen over and gotten scrapes.
The barbecue lunch was nothing special, but the fruit was delicious. Considering that the only other lunch options available were expensive hot dogs and hamburgers, I thought, "Well, that's okay."
Food and drinks are not allowed to be brought in, and there was an explanation on the bus that bags would be checked at the entrance, but in the end, my bag went unchecked.
どのアトラクションも面白かったのですが、波がくるプールの波の荒さにびっくり、一番印象に残りました。
日本で行ったことのある波プールとは比較にならない大波です。気を抜いてると波に倒されて怪我しそうです。
この大波のプールでボディーボードレッスンっていうのにも参加しました。楽しいですが、私のようなおばさんや小学校低学年の子供には体力的にきついです。ほんとに大波なのでちょっと危険でもあり、ひっくりかえって擦り傷をつくっている人を何人か見かけました。
バーベキューランチはぱっとしませんが、フルーツはおいしかったです。これ以外に買えるランチが値段の高いホットドッグやハンバーガーしかないことを考えると、ま、いいか、って感じ。
食べ物飲み物は持ち込み禁止で、入り口でバッグをチェックしますってバスの中で説明がありましたが、結局バッグはノーチェックで入れました。

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.
The sandbar had a more beautiful sea than I expected. It was disappointing that I couldn't dive while snorkeling because we had to wear life jackets.
サンドバーですが、予想以上に綺麗な海でした。

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.
The activity itself is something you must participate in when you come to Hawaii; it's filled with fun that you definitely can't experience in Japan. I would like to request an earlier hotel pickup time to enjoy it even more.
アクティビティーそのものは、ハワイに来れば必ず参加している、絶対日本では味わえない楽しさ満点のものです。もっと楽しみたいので、ホテルピックアップ時刻を早くしてもらいたいと思います。

It was fun! The sea was surprisingly blue and beautiful.
The BBQ was delicious.
However, after walking on the sand, I went snorkeling right away, so I spent a long time in the water and got quite cold.
I was moved to see many honu swimming.
楽しかった！ びっくりするほど海が青くてきれいでした。
BBQもおいしかったです。
ただ、サンドウォークして、すぐにシュノーケルをしたので、海の中にいる時間が長く、体がかなり冷えました。
ホヌが泳いでいる姿をたくさん見ることができ、感動しました。

But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.
Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.
P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.
前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
しかし、５００名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし（特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動！おかわりしちゃいました♪）ドリンク（ビールorソフトドリンク）も２杯飲めるし。
ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。
追記：室内だからファイヤーダンスはありませんでした。

Had a great time!!
Our driver/guide was awesome. I won't forget him! I can't recall his name because it was extremely long, but he did an EXCELLENT job guiding us through the island during our drive to PCC. This is our first time to Oahu and he did such a great job in getting us familiar with the area. He was extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome, like we were his own Ohana. He made sure everyone knew which luau we were supposed to go to, where the main theater was, and even where to meet up afterwards for the drop off back to the hotel.
The Polynesian Cultural Center is an AMAZING place! Theres a 15 minute boat ride that takes u around the center to visit the different villages.
The luau was entertaining with great food!
The show was INCREDIBLE!! I really enjoyed watching all the dances. Especially the fire ring guys!!
We went for the late entry and we thought it was still well worth it! Definitely a must go.. and a must go again!!!
We were picked up at our hotel by Henry. He was an excellent driver and guide. We learned so much from him and loved his sense of humor. Will definately come back so that we can spend more time at the PCC. There is so much to experience and learn. The Luau and show were great
ok this water park was definitely not as advertised as it is undergoing renovations. also, there was no 7-story drop as advertised, there are just some crappy slides in it's place. the park is more directed to kids. not all slides were open, they would alternate opening different one's and the lineups were HUGE as a result. Da Flowrider was a sick ride for anyone wanting a surfing experience, and the simulated wave pool was cool too. The staff were definitely excellent though.
Not recommended for anyone looking for a adrenaline rush from slides!
otherwise, have fun!
The Polynesian Cultural Center was a great experience! The Cultural show was the best. We even got this incredble dessert to go along with it and they were so good! Some sort of fruity type of ice cream. YUM! I highly recommend this! Shelley/Owen from Calgary,AB Canada
a really enjoyable evening entertainment was excellent as well as the food would reccomend this trip for anyone.
Nice but noisy lots of children around.
Very enjoyable experience, but a long day. The Luau wasn't what I expected. If you are looking for the luau on the beach you won't care for this one. Overall a fantastic place. There are so many things to see. Very friendly staff and guides. The night show was outstanding. You have to experience this if you come to Oahu. Well worth the money
There is no place like Cptn.Bobs for a good adventure, good time
and good fun at all.
Thank you very very much!!!!!!

We enjoyed the Oahu Sightseeing Tour (Grand Circle Island Tour w/ Kualoa Ranch and Dole Pineapple Plantation). Our driver/tour guide "Napi" had so much information to share with us - he really made this trip interesting. I learned many things about the island that I would not have known about had we gone on this trip by ourselves in a rental car The price was reasonable and worth it. I recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.
Mahalo,
Since we had relatives with us at the ceremony, including a 3-year-old and a 1.5-year-old, we used it as an activity that everyone could enjoy together. The staff really got everyone excited, and we had a great time! ^^;
挙式で連れて行った親族の中に3歳と1歳半の子供もいたので皆で楽しめるアクティビティとして利用しました。スタッフが盛り上げてくれて、楽しめました^^;

Best Island tour we have ever been on. Garfield a walking book of knowledge on culture and island everything. He should be given a raise. Unbelievable day for my whole family. We tipped him good and he desereved it and more. Best Tour in Town and worth the money!
I had to cancel last time because I caught a cold, so I went for a revenge trip.
On July 13th, it was sunny in Waikiki, but the ocean in Heaven was cloudy... It was cold, but the staff's support was excellent! I had a great time.
It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt very safe with the staff watching over us. The fish and corals were absolutely amazing! I was moved by the incredible color of the ocean when the sun peeked through!
I want to go again.
前回風邪を引いてキャンセルしてしまったので、リベンジしてきました。
7/13の参加で、ワイキキでは晴天だったのに、天国の海は曇り。。。寒かったですが、スタッフさんの対応もばっちり！とても楽しめました。
シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、スタッフさんが見守ってる中だったのでとても安心できました。そして、魚もサンゴもとてもすばらしかった！
晴れ間が覗いた時の海の色のすごさには感動しました！
また行きたいです。

At the sandbar between the seas, I felt the mystery of nature, it was amazing! For my first time snorkeling, I cautiously ventured from the sandbar to a point where the sea turned a deep blue. I was half scared and half excited, but there were so many fish in the coral reef, it was incredible! Unfortunately, my friend and I couldn't quite grasp the snorkeling techniques and had to give up on going to the deeper part of the sea, but it seemed we practiced a lot at the sandbar. Later, we went to Hanauma Bay for a revenge attempt, and it seems our practice paid off as we were able to see the fish. The staff lady at the sandbar checks if you can snorkel, so it's better not to push yourself too hard.
On that day, there were about 40 participants in the morning session, but in the afternoon when I joined, there were only about 10 people, allowing us to enjoy the scenery comfortably. I also got to taste the much-anticipated malasada, and the BBQ was delicious, it was just the best! Additionally, I brought a waterproof case for my digital camera, which made it so much fun. The photos are filled with my amateurish attempts, but I definitely recommend everyone to bring a waterproof camera. (Photos 5 and 6 are from Hanauma.) There was also a playful and mischievous captain who suddenly showed us a sea cucumber right in front of us, making it a truly enjoyable day.
海と海の間にあるサンドバーで、自然の神秘を感じすごーい？。そして人生初のシュノーケルで、サンドバーから恐る恐る海が濃い青に変わっているポイントへ。怖さとワクワクが半分でしたが、さんご礁にお魚いっぱいですごーい、すごーーい？。残念ながら、私と同行の友人はシュノーケルのコツがつかめず、海が深いポイントへは断念しましたが、サンドバーでずっと練習していた様で、後日ハナウマ湾へリベンジに行ったのですが練習の成果が出てお魚を見る事が出来た様です。サンドバーでスタッフのお姉さんがシュノーケル出来るか見てくれますので余り無理はしない方が良いですね。
この日午前便は４０名程の参加者がいた様ですが、私が参加した午後は１０名程度でゆったり景色を見る事が出来ました。期待のマラサダ？も食し、ＢＢＱも美味しくってもうサイコー★ あと、私はデジカメを防水仕様に出来るｳｫｰﾀｰﾌﾟﾙｰﾌｹｰｽを持っていったのですっごい楽しめました。ど素人ぶりが満載な写真ですが、皆様も是非カメラは防水を持っていかれる事をおススメいたします。（5・6枚目はﾊﾅｳﾏ） イキナリなまこを握って目の前に出してくるおちゃめでいたずらっ子なキャプテンもいて本当に楽しい１日でした。

My family and I absolutely loved visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center while in Oahu. I highly recommend spending the extra money and getting the Ambassador All day package. You will get a very personal tour guide of all the Polynesian villages. You are kept well entertained and learn a lot about the Polynesian cultures. The luau and the food was great, and the Night Show was beautiful and entertaining. I wished i had know the we were able to return on the ticket purchased to go back and go through it slower and get to do some of the events. please check out how to return
For some reason, I had never been to "Sand Island." Until now, I had been avoiding tours that offered a relaxing experience, focusing instead on shopping and other option tours, but this was an eye-opening experience.
なぜか「サンドアイランド」だけは入ったことがありませんでした。これまではショッピングや他のオプションツアーばかりでゆったり時間を過ごすツアーは敬遠していましたが、目からウロコの体験でした。

I had gone to this Luau about 20 years prior and had a very favorable memory of it. This time, I have to say, was disappointing. First off, I bought the half day package. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding or what, but our driver ( I also paid for transportation) said that our guide couldn't make it, so he took us on a tour when we got there. I felt the tour was rushed and not very impressive. I suppose for the half day, you shouldn't expect much.
He then took us to dinner a little late, and we were seated in the waaay back of the line, which makes a difference. The tables go to the buffet in order, so if you are towards the back, it's slim pickin's. The buffet itself was average, although considering what we paid, was below average for the price. I didn't get to see anything of the cooking of the pig or anything about the traditions, again, maybe because I was late.
The show, however, was as billed. There were many many different dances, and the dan
