Good service and excellent driver and tourist guide - well
versed and respectable person - Kudos to Marlon - He is a company asset.

It was my first time in Taormina.
The food was all wonderful and delicious.
I enjoyed my meal on the terrace while feeling the Hawaiian breeze.
I would like to use it again.

はじめてのタオルミーナでした。
料理はどれも素晴らしくおいしくいただきました。
テラス席でハワイの風邪を感じながらの食事でした。
また、利用したいと思います。

Food was Great, music and entertainment was lots of fun!

We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.

Everything was amazing! Julia is a Rockstar! Very patient and a beautiful person through and through!

I wasn't very confident in my English and had some worries, but the guides were all friendly and made everything so enjoyable that it turned into the best trip to Hawaii! The nature was beautiful, and they recommended activities that matched my level (in terms of language and physical ability), so I truly want to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii!

Thank you all so much!!

英語があまり得意ではなく不安な部分もありましたがガイドさんはみんな気さくで言葉も必要ないくらい盛り上げて頂き最高のハワイ旅行になりました！
自然も綺麗でその人にあったレベル（言葉や体力など）で楽しむことをお勧めしてくれて本当にまたハワイに行った際にはお伺いしたいと思いました！

本当にみなさま、ありがとございました‼︎

I had a great time, so I don't have any regrets, but honestly, my overall experience didn't quite meet my expectations.

■ Weather, Timing, and Temperature
It was a sunny day in early April, but the wind was incredibly strong and cold. My hat without a chin strap flew away, and I had to give up eating my hamburger on deck because the vegetables kept blowing away. There were people in bikinis, but the sunlight was stronger than a typical summer day in Japan, so I think wearing a long-sleeve rash guard and long leggings while swimming is a safer choice. After getting out of the water, it was essential to have a long-sleeve cover-up or a large bath towel to wrap around me. It was just so cold.

■ About the Sandbar
I checked the tide chart and confirmed it was low tide before participating. However, the water was still up to my ankles, so it felt more like a shallow area than an island. The boat stopped in water about thigh-deep, and everyone was saying, "It's so cold!" as they disembarked. The shallow areas were warmed by the sun and felt somewhat like a hot spring, but it was still too cold for many to swim. The beach volleyball set up by the staff was somewhat lively, but it seemed difficult to play because of the wind. There might not have been any Japanese participants. It was nice to take photos against the backdrop of the majestic mountains and scenery like Kualoa. However, it's worth noting that the strong sea breeze made it impossible to expect a reflection of the sky like in the Salar de Uyuni. The sandbar is made up of broken coral, and while it was enjoyable to look at the coral fragments scattered around, walking barefoot was painful (the local staff were barefoot, but I couldn't imitate them). There was a warning that many people drop their accessories, so it's better not to wear them at all. I brought an underwater camera, but I felt that a smartphone in a waterproof case was sufficient for the sandbar. Personally, I preferred the "Phantom Island" tour in Ishigaki Island, which, although domestic, had a similar atmosphere and was an actual "island" without the cold.

■ Turtle Watching from the Boat
You can watch turtles taking breaths in the shallow coral reefs from the boat. There were quite a few, and they came close to the boat, allowing for good photos with a smartphone. The turtles were adorable as they opened their mouths to breathe.

■ BBQ on the Boat
You can enjoy hamburgers grilled on the boat. The well-cooked patties were crispy and delicious. There were also side dishes like boiled beans and fruits. Two types of small chips (Doritos and Lay's) were provided, and I took a bag home as a souvenir, which was appreciated. However, as mentioned earlier, it was challenging to eat on the deck due to the strong wind.

■ Snorkeling
Snorkeling takes place in the shallow areas around the coral reefs. You can choose from three types of equipment: life jackets, fins, and floats, depending on your skill level. For those who are not confident in swimming, having all three options is reassuring. I felt that a life jacket was essential for warmth as well. Once the boat is anchored, a staircase to the sea is lowered in the middle of the deck, so you can get into the water immediately. It was announced that those confident in swimming could jump in from another spot, but no one attempted it. Once in the water, I surprisingly got used to the cold, but my hands and feet started to feel numb from being in the water for too long, and it was still cold. It was said that turtles sometimes hide in the gaps of the coral, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any that day. There were a fair number of tropical fish, but it felt a bit lacking. By the way, if you save some of the buns from the BBQ or bring back leftovers, the tropical fish will come to eat them, which I recommend. It took a fair amount of time to get everyone suited up and into the water, which might have contributed to the snorkeling time feeling a bit short. It was al

楽しかったので後悔はありませんが、全体を通して期待以上ではなかったなぁというのが正直な感想です。

■天候・時期・気温
　4月上旬の晴れの日でしたが、風がとんでもなく強くて寒かったです。あごひものない帽子はとんでいく、ハンバーガーは野菜が吹き飛ばされるので甲板で食べるのは諦めたほどです。
　ビキニの方もいましたが、日差しは日本の真夏以上に強いので、泳ぐときも長袖ラッシュガード長丈のレギンスが無難かなぁと思います。
　また水からあがったあとは上から羽織れる長袖や毛布代わりになる大きなバスタオルは必須でした。とにかく寒いです。

■サンドバーについて
　潮見表で干潮であることを確認して参加しました。
しかしくるぶしまでは水あったので、やはり島というよりは浅瀬ですね。
　船は太もも丈くらいの水深に止まるので、みんな冷た～い！といいながら上陸していました。
　浅瀬は日で暖められて温泉っぽくなっている部分もありますが、後が寒いのであまり泳ぐ方はいませんでした。
　スタッフさんが設置してくれるビーチバレーはそこそこ盛り上がっていましたが、やはり風で流されるのでやりにくそうでした。日本人は参加していなかったかも。
　クアロアなど雄大な山や風景を背に写真を撮れるのでそれは開放的で良かったです。ちなみに当たり前ですが海風が激しいのでウユニ塩湖のような空が写る水面は全く期待できません。
　サンドバーは珊瑚がくだけてできた洲で、珊瑚のかけらがたくさん落ちており眺めるのは楽しいですが、裸足で歩くのは痛いです(現地のスタッフさんはバリバリ裸足でしたが真似はできませんでした(^-^;))。
　アクセサリーを落とす人が多いと案内があったので、そもそも身につけないほうがよいでしょう。
　水中カメラを持っていきましたが、サンドバーに関しては防水カバーにいれたスマホで十分間に合ったなと感じました。
　個人的には石垣島の幻の島ツアーの方が国内だけど似た雰囲気でちゃんと“島”だし寒くなかったので、そちらの方が好きでした。

■船上からのウミガメウォッチング
　珊瑚礁の浅瀬で息継ぎをするウミガメを船上から眺められます。結構な数が見られ、船のすぐ近くにも来てくれてスマホでも十分写真が取れました。
　カプッと口をあけて息継ぎするウミガメはかわいかったです。

■船上BBQ
　船の上で焼いたハンバーガーを食べることができます。しっかり焼かれたハンバーグはカリッと香ばしくておいしかったです。サイドメニューに煮豆や果物などもありました。小さいサイズのチップスも2種類用意してあり(Doritosとレイズでした)一袋はお土産に持ち帰りました。ありがたかったです。
　ただ、前述の通り風が強くて甲板では食べるのはハードモードでした。

■シュノーケリング
　珊瑚礁の塊の周りの浅瀬でシュノーケリングです。
ライフジャケット、足ヒレ、フロート(棒状の浮き)の
3種類を個人の技量にあわせて選べます。泳ぎに自信のない方は3種類ある方が安心でしょう。
　私は寒さ対策的な意味でもライフジャケット必須だと感じました。
　珊瑚礁に船が固定されると甲板の真ん中に海への階段が降ろされるので、降りたら即海です。自信のある方は別の場所から飛び込んでもいいと案内がありましたが誰もチャレンジはしていませんでした笑
　入ってしまえば案外寒さには慣れましたが、長く水に浸かっている手足がかじかんでくる感覚がありやはり寒かったです。
　珊瑚礁の隙間にウミガメが隠れていることがあるとのことでしたが、この日は残念ながら出会えませんでした。熱帯魚はそれなりにいましたがちょっと物足りなかったです。
　ちなみにBBQの時のバンズを残しておくか、あまりがあれば少しもらってくると熱帯魚が食べに来るのでおすすめです。
　装備を着用して順番に海におりるまでそれなりの時間がかかるためシュノーケリングの時間が少し短かったのも物足りない要因のひとつだったかなと思います。狭いエリアに人が密集するので泳ぎにくさも感じました。
　シュノーケリング後に暖かいコーヒーや紅茶を出してもらえてありがたかったです。

■その他全体
　送迎バスは現地の方のようで、名簿の名前を呼ばれる以外は日本語の説明はありません。
　船上では日本語のスタッフさんがついてくれて、しっかりと説明をしてくれるので安心でした。最初に英語の人は甲板に、日本語の人は船内に、といったように場所移動をアナウンスしてくれるので遠すぎて聞き取れないといったこともないので安心です。
　映画のロケ地などの説明もしてくださって楽しかったです。
　BBQも含め、スタッフの方のサービスレベルはかなり高いと思います。

Overall, this was way more than we expected to experience at a Luau. First of all, the food was delicious and the spread was huge. The staff was incredibly friendly and it was a relaxed environment. I will say that it pays to do the VIP experience so that you don't have to pay out of pocket for a lei or for an additional drink (it was nice that it came with 2 premium drinks with the VIP option). The seating for VIP for the show was also excellent! The show wasn't just dancing, but an entire story through the years. The dancers and singers were so talented! The entire night was about a 4 - 4.5 hour long event and you really got the bang for your buck. I highly recommend this experience, especially if it's your first time going to a Luau!

Wow, I didn’t expect to see turtles but saw more than that! Turtles, gosh, dolphins! First time snorkeling but instructors were great and I learned something new

I had a great time! Thank you for the hospitality and for the smooth sailing plus beautiful views!!

This was my 2nd time visiting PCC, 16 years ago was my 1st visit. Nice to see Chief Kap is still there and still has many talents. A lot has changed, the Breath Of Life show was spectacular. The fire dance was amazing. The students that work there, every single one I came across were so pleasant and helpful. Everyone had a big smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. If you haven’t been to any luaus in Oahu, I’d suggest PCC. Hands down the best one on the island. Mahalo!

Was so impressed with the overall layout of the PCC. Upon arrival there are restrooms, water refill stations. Shops selling lots of good value and different styles of gifts. We started with a ride on the canoe through the villages , the guide was knowledge and told us about the fifferent countries also very interactive with the younger children. We visited as many villages as possible , experienced aspects of their culture through dance, craft or food. It is clear to see the young peoples love of their countries and culture. The buffet was way beyond my expectations, proper dining experience, we were able to taste all foods and it was self service, chicken,beef pork,fish, rice,noodles,salads and so many desserts the list goes on. Very disappointed to see people wasting so much food, piling plates with too much food, especially when the culture of the Polynesian people is to value food and not waste food. We were thanked for supporting the PCC, the monies raised support the students to study and return to their countries to improve the lives of others. Would highly recommend great day out

Our family -seniors and adult children-were delighted with the sunset sail. It was the best thing I did in Oahu. We learned about Hawaiian values, the significance of the leis, danced some hula steps, and the men pounded taro. It was fun, staff was excellent, and we ended with a chant to the sunset. Everyone was so glad we did this. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our dinner cruise. The food was delicious, service was great, live performance entertainment was amazing, and the view was spectacular!

Aloha World
We thoroughly enjoyed our Night Cruise into Happiness last night with the Star of Honolulu crew and amazing entertainment
We did this cruise 41 years ago and it was just amazing then and spectacular now! The steak and lobster with the attentive crew made for a flawless experience! The main singer carried your spirit to the best times. We also loved the smooth jazz music Finally the Hawaiian dancers made us feel like true Ohana ❤️
Mahalo for another superb evening

The fun really starts when you get on the nice air conditioned bus. Our host on the bus was hilarious all the way to our destination. The show is in a wetnwild but honestly I forgot about half way to the beginning of the show. The food was good and the dancers were better. The chief was also a funny man and although you do get this amazing entertainment, you also get a little bit of history of the people of the islands. Overall it was a great show. We even got a souvenir

Although it was rainy at Kualoa, the weather here was great, and the staff were wonderful too. We were able to see many sea turtles, and I'm grateful to the staff.

クアロアは雨でしたが、こちらは天気も良く最高（スタッフも）でした。ウミガメも沢山見られてスタッフに感謝です。

The pickup from the hotel and the option to choose activities at Kailua Beach were great. Instead of going into town, the kids chose to rent beach items. We got a large float, but it wasn't very useful in the actual sea. The ocean was beautiful, and we were taken back to town, so overall it was good, but the tour felt a bit pricey. It would have been even better if there was a shuttle service from Kailua Beach to Lanikai Beach.

ホテルでピックアップしていただき、カイルアビーチでのオプションを選ぶという内容。子供は街に行くのでは無く、ビーチアイテムレンタルを選択。大きな浮き輪だったのですが、実際の海ではあまり使えるものではなかったです。
海が綺麗だったのと、街まで送っていただけたたので、結果良かったのですが、ツアーの企画としては、少し高い印象。
カイルアビーチからラニカイビーチまでの送迎ありとかにしていただけたら。もっと良かったかもです。

We had a fabulous time. We got wet, laughed, saw a beautiful sunset & back in time to see the fireworks. The crew was excellent. Highly recommend them!!!

I had a wonderful time that perfectly matched the image of Hawaii!

During snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle. I regretted not having a waterproof case for my smartphone to capture the moment, but it was truly moving to see it up close.

Although the number of stand-up paddleboards was limited, the staff was considerate and checked in with those using them for a long time. I felt it was great how they ensured everyone could enjoy themselves!

It seems that the sandbar doesn't appear depending on the tide, so I recommend checking the low tide times in advance before making a reservation.

これぞハワイというイメージ通りで素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました！

シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることが出来ました。
スマホの防水ケースを持っていれば撮影できたのに...と少し後悔しましたが、間近に見ることができてとても感動的でした。
サップの数も限られていましたが、スタッフの方が気を利かせて長時間使用している方に声掛けしてくれました。全員が楽しめるよう配慮されていて、素晴らしいと感じました！

潮位によってはサンドバーは出ないらしいので、干潮の時間を予め調べたうえで予約することをお勧めします。

The visit to Arizona and Missouri memorial is with mix feelings… over all, I am proud to be called an American ..

This cruise was amazing, the whole crew were very nice and patient, the sandbar is incredible. I was traveling with my whole family: a toddler and elderly people and they all enjoyed it, fully recommend it!!

Rob had to be one of the best tour guides iv ever had very knowledgeable and didn’t mind a few dad jokes along the way

I participated with my daughter! The Japanese staff provided explanations, which made us feel at ease. We also took a lot of photos! The lunch included delicious hamburgers.

We were able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was very beautiful! My 10-year-old daughter had her first snorkeling experience, and she had no problems at all. She was amazed to see so many fish during her first snorkeling adventure!

One downside was that it was quite windy, and we felt a bit cold. If you participate, it might be a good idea to bring an extra towel or jacket just in case.

娘と二人で参加！
日本人のスタッフさんが、説明等をしてくれたので安心でした。写真も沢山撮って頂きました！ランチも美味しいハンバーガーを頂きました。

ウミガメも見れましたし、サンドバーもとても綺麗！
スノーケリングは、10歳の娘が初体験でしたが、全く問題なく、初めてのスノーケリングで沢山の魚を見れて、感動していました！

一つ残念なのは、かなり風が強くて寒さを感じました。
参加される時は、念のため、タオルや上着は、もう一枚プラスでも良いかもしれません。

The water was very clear and beautiful. I had the best time encountering turtles multiple times while snorkeling!

水の透明度が高く非常にキレイでした。
シュノーケリング中に何度もカメにも出会えて最高の時間でした！

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to enjoy it due to the strong winds and cloudy skies since the morning, but my 70-year-old mother was able to get on the SUP and move around on the water, which was great to see.

強風と朝からの曇天で楽しめるか心配でしたが、70歳の母もSUPにまたがり、海の上を移動したり、楽しめたようで何よりでした。

You can see sea turtles, and the scenery is amazing! Above all, the staff was wonderful. Thank you for the best time! Don't worry if you're not good at snorkeling; the staff will teach you properly! I definitely want to go again!

海亀にも会えるし、景色は最高‼️
何よりスタッフが超ステキでした。最高のひと時をありがとう
シュノーケリングが上手くできなくても大丈夫！
ちゃんとスタッフが教えてくれますよ！

また、絶対に行きたいです！

We had an enjoyable day out. The weather wasn’t very favourable but the team still did an outstanding job. Lunch was cooked fresh and was very nice. We didn’t snorkel but looks like all had a great time.
The only thing I would change is we had 2 boats tied together and it made for a lot of flippers in the water, looked very crowded around the reef. I’m saying that, the team always kept their eyes on the job and communicated together at all times.
Great job done by all.

On the day we visited, the Tornado was closed for maintenance, and it seemed that due to a staff shortage, only about three other slides were being opened alternately. It might have been because it was a weekday, but the park itself closed at 3 PM. I was hoping to enjoy a few more slides since it was a weekday, so I was a bit disappointed.

ちょうど私たちが訪れた日は、トルネードがメンテナンス中でクローズ、それ以外のスライダーも人手不足なのか、3つくらいを順番に交互に解放しているようでした。曜日的に平日と言うこともあるかもしれませんが、パーク自体も午後3時で閉園でした。平日なのでもう少し色々なスライダーを出来るかなと期待していたので、少し拍子抜けでした。

I participated in a buffet and show tour.
I was satisfied with both the quality and quantity of the food.
The show after the meal had comfortable seating, and I enjoyed it very much.

ビュッフェとショーのツアーに参加しました。
料理の質も量も満足です。
食事後のショーは座席もゆったりとして、非常に楽しめました。
