I participated in April 2023.
There are a lot of sea turtles! My wife said it was the most fun she had during our stay in Hawaii!
The Japanese guide teaches you various things, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.

2023年4月に参加。
ウミガメ沢山います！妻はハワイ滞在中1番楽しかったと言ってました！
日本人のガイドさんが色々教えて下さるので安心して楽しめますよ。

Food was great but the show was even better! Great time!

The wait time for the meal was too long, so I left without seeing the show. I don't think I'll go again, and I wouldn't recommend it to others.

食事の待ち時間が長すぎて、ショーをみずに帰りました。二度と行かないと思いますし、他の人におすすめもしません

The weather was cloudy, but I was able to enjoy myself. I would like to ride again next time! Thank you!

天候は曇でしたが、楽しむことが出来ました。
次回もまた乗りたいと思います！ありがとうございました！

2 thumbs up. Crew was knowledgeable and made it a fun day.

The Bishop Museum was at the top of our list when it came to museums to visit. With an expansive exhibit in the Hawaiian Hall main building, they have everything from artifacts from the Hawaiian Royal Family to traditional medicine and religion. Do not miss this part of the museum - it's too important to miss!

There was also a kid-friendly Backyard Adventures Exhibit in the Castle Memorial Building, which my young son absolutely enjoyed. Each part of this exhibit is interactive and teaches kids about the seasons and bugs too!

The Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center is an amazing exhibit which houses their volcano exhibit and native flora and fauna. There is an amazing walk through of a dark maze backlit with colorful birds and plants. Don't miss this one either!


The Bishop Museum is a wonderful resource and cultural center for both locals and visitors. I highly recommend it and consider it to be among the most comprehensive publically available experiences on Hawaiian & Pacific culture. Don't miss the chance to visit!

The sandbar was cloudy with occasional showers, making it not very beautiful, and it was cold with rainy weather. The snorkeling was a bit murky, and I didn't see many fish. The sixth day had bad weather, which was a bit disappointing, but the crew did their best to keep us entertained.

サンドバーも曇り時々シャワーであまりきれい見えず、寒くて雨模様。スノーケリングも少し濁りがあり余り魚に会えなかった。6日目が悪天候、少し残念ですがクルーの方は、一生懸命楽しませてくれました。

You can only go to the sandbar if you join the tour, and there are no tours on Sundays, so my husband, who works on weekdays, couldn't join and I went alone. (By the way, most of the others were couples, so it felt a bit lonely!)

However, on the day of the tour, it was drizzling and overcast from the morning. The scenery was far from what you see in the photos; everything was gray. There's nothing you can do about the weather, so I suppose we can only hope for good weather.

Even though I participated alone, I was able to get explanations and practice for snorkeling at the sandbar. They provided explanations in both English and Japanese, so even if your English isn't great, you can feel at ease.

The hamburger for lunch was very delicious on the boat. The snorkeling in the second half wasn't very clear due to the bad weather, but I did see some fish.

However, it was really cold after getting out, and I was shivering. I had hot cocoa on the boat, but it didn't warm me up much. On the bus ride back, I was still in my wet swimsuit with just a cover-up, and the bus air conditioning was quite strong, making me shiver even more...

I recommend that participants try to take off as much wet clothing as possible and wear more layers for the return trip!

ツアーに参加しないとサンドバーまで行けないということと日曜日はツアーはないということで、平日は仕事だった主人は参加できず1人で参加しました。(ちなみに他のみなさんはカップルが多くてちょっと寂しい〜！)
しかし当日は朝からずっと霧雨の曇天。
写真のような景色とは程遠く、全部グレーでした。天候に左右されるのは致し方ないですから、こればかりは良い天気を祈るしかないかと思います。
1人参加でしたがサンドバーの時にシュノーケリングの説明と練習をさせてもらえます。英語での説明と日本語での説明をして下さるので英語がイマイチでも安心です。
ランチのハンバーガーは船上でとても美味しくいただきました。
後半のシュノーケリングも天候が悪かったので視界はあまり良くありませんでしたがお魚見えました。

ただ、とにかく上がった後寒くて寒くてガタガタ震えてしまいました。船上で熱いココアをいただきましたがなかなか温まらず。帰りのバスも濡れた水着を着たまま上に羽織って帰るのですが、これまたバスのエアコンがよくきいていてブルブル…。
参加される方は濡れたものは出来るだけ脱いで、行きよりたくさん着て帰れるようにすることをオススメします！

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to see a hula show at least once, and I applied because it was conveniently located within the Royal Hawaiian Center and could be enjoyed quickly. The show exceeded my expectations with its incredible intensity.

First, I was overwhelmed by the hula dancers who appeared alongside an introduction to Hawaii's history, with their toned bodies, lovely smiles, and impressive dancing skills. I felt it was worth coming to see. Then there was a rock and roll show featuring impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. This was not just an ordinary impersonation show; the level of singing and dancing was reminiscent of the originals, thrilling the audience, and it was clear there was a deep respect for the artists in their wonderful performances.

Finally, there was the fire dance. The climax was filled with excitement and tension, and the stage was enveloped in loud applause and cheers from the audience.

After the show, when we exited to the lobby, the impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were shaking hands and taking photos with each guest, smiling. My husband and I quickly took a photo with them as well. After being distanced from such experiences during the pandemic, it made me very happy.

ハワイに来たからにはフラのショーを一度観てみたいし、ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内で立地もいいしサクッと観れるからと一応申し込んだところ、期待を大きく上回る大迫力なショーでした。
まず出てくるハワイの歴史的な紹介と共に現れたフラダンサー達の引き締まった
肢体、素敵な笑顔、そしてダンスの上手さに圧倒され、観に来て良かったと思いました。そしてエルヴィスプレスリーと
マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんによるロックンロールショー。単なるそっくりさんによるものまねショーとは全く違い、歌と踊りの上手さは本人を彷彿させるようなレベルの高いもので、往年のファンと思われる方達を熱狂させ、本人へのリスペクトが感じられる素晴らしい
歌とダンスだと思いました。
最後にファイアーダンス。
クライマックスにハラハラドキドキは最
高潮となり、ステージは会場中の大きな拍手と歓声に包まれました。
ショーが終わりロビーに出ると、マイケルジャクソンとエルヴィスプレスリーのそっくりさんが、お客さん一人一人と笑顔で握手を交わし一緒に写真を撮ってくれていたので私と夫も早速お二人と一緒に写真を撮って頂きました。パンデミックでこういう事から随分遠ざかっていたのでとても嬉しい気持ちになりました。

After six years, I went back to Hawaii, and I signed up again because I had such a great time last time!

Even though it was sailing, it was amazing to see dolphins and turtles, and the view from the sea was spectacular.

6年ぶりのHawaiiで、
前回楽しすぎて再び申し込みました！

セーリングとは言え、イルカやカメが見れたり、海側からの角度で一望できるので最高でした。

We departed from West Oahu, but unfortunately, we didn't see a single whale that day. We also experienced a cruise departing from Waikiki as a backup service from the same company, but we still didn't encounter any whales! However, if you don't see any whales, you receive a free boarding ticket for the next time, so if you have flexibility in your schedule, you can reschedule for another day. If you're visiting for about five days, you might not have time to switch to another day, so it's a bit of a gamble... There were no Japanese crew members, so everything was in English. Our family was the only Japanese guests. But as long as you can find the departure location, you should be fine even if you don't understand English.

西オアフから出発ですが、その日は残念ながら１頭も会えず。
リベンジでワイキキからも出発するクルーズ（同じ会社の振り替えサービス）も体験しましたが、くじらに会えず！
ただ、見れなかった場合は次回無料乗船券がもらえるので、日程的に余裕がある人は違う日に振り替えられます。5日くらいの観光できているとほかの日に振り替える時間がないと思うので、一か八かですね・・・。
日本人のクルーはいませんので、すべて英語です。
日本人客は私たち家族だけでした。でも出発場所にさえちゃんとたどり着ければ英語がわからなくても大丈夫です。

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!

There were many sea turtles, and the ocean was beautiful; I was able to see a large sea turtle resting! During the trip, there were two people who spoke Japanese fluently, which made me feel at ease! I was also very satisfied to be able to feed the fish!

ホヌも沢山いて海も綺麗で大きなホヌが寝ている姿も見ることができました！
移動中は日本語をしっかり話せる方が2名も居たので安心できました！
魚に餌やりもできて大満足！

Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day of my visit. I had imagined the perfect location under a blue sky with clear waters, but it was completely cloudy. I heard the sea was murky, but during snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles and various colorful fish, which was truly moving.

Even in the rain, it was enjoyable, and I highly recommend it.

当日、あいにくの天気でした。
青空の下、透明度の高い海で最高なロケーションを想像してましたが、一面が雲。
海も濁っているとの事でしたが、シュノーケリングではウミガメも様々な色をした魚も見ることが出来、感動しました。

雨でも充分楽しめ、お勧めです。

Me and my husband had a great time. The guys are very prompt with safety and are very accomodating. We saw turtles and other sea creatures too. My husband was not very confident with snorkeling but they helped him out by getting acquainted with the waters and eventually he gained confidence to snorkel and he enjoyed it a lot later on to see sea life.

This is definitely to be done again! Was an amazing experience

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

This sandbar tour was the best choice! It was so fun! They had all the gear and all we had to do was bring ourselves! They supplied the tastiest BBQ burgers with vegan options as well! Our captain was so professional, yet funny, and extremely helpful taking pictures for us, and giving us the best sandbar adventure ever! We played volleyball, snorkeled, and enjoyed cruising around the sandbar. I can't wait to go again!

Mahalo nui loa!

I was able to see sea turtles, and I really enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball. I gave it four stars because I was a bit anxious while waiting for the bus to pick us up at the meeting point.

ウミガメを見れて、サップやビーチボール等もとても楽しかったです。
集合場所にバスのお迎えが来るまで不安だったのもあり星4つとさせていただきました。

The weather was rainy, which was a bit disappointing, but I was satisfied with the activities. Both paddle boating and snorkeling were fun. I even got to see a turtle. The staff's service was also good. I deducted one star because of the weather!

お天気が雨模様で、少し残念でしたが、アクティビティは満足。パドルボートもシュノーケリングも楽しかった。
亀にも会えたし。
スタッフの対応も良かったです。お天気の分だけ☆マイナスさせてもらいました！

I was expecting a blue sky and blue sea like in the images, but unfortunately, it rained, which was a bit disappointing. However, thanks to the staff who lifted the atmosphere, I decided to make the most of it and enjoy despite the rain.

For snorkeling, we went to a very deep part of the sea, but since I can't swim, I was scared and gave up, staying in the shallow area. Many staff members kindly encouraged me, so I decided to take the plunge and let them take me to the deep sea. Holding onto the float that the staff pulled, I felt safe enough to put my face in the water, and it was incredibly fun. I was able to see many different kinds of fish, including a large pufferfish and even four sea turtles. If I get the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again. Thank you very much, Jamie and all the other staff members. I'm glad I didn't give up at that time. Thank you!

イメージのような青い空　青い海を期待していたのですが生憎の雨で少しガッカリしていたんですが、スタッフの皆さんが雰囲気を盛り上げてくださったお陰で雨でも精一杯楽しもうと思いました。　シュノーケルは凄く深い海に行くのですが泳げない私は怖くて諦めて浅瀬にいたところ何人ものスタッフの皆さんが優しく声を掛けてくださったので、思い切って深い海に連れて行ってもらいました。スタッフさんが引っ張ってくれる浮き輪に掴まらせて貰って顔を海につけても安心感があり凄く楽しかったです。たくさんの大小様々な種類の魚、大きなフグや海亀は4匹も見ることが出来ました。次回ハワイに来ることが出来たら是非また参加したいです。ジェイミーさん　その他のスタッフの方々大変お世話になりました。あの時諦めないで良かった　ありがとうございました

We are a couple who loves Hawaii. This was our sixth trip to Hawaii, and we finally participated in this show that we had been curious about. We enjoyed hula dancing and fire dancing, and we were thrilled to see Elvis and Michael, which is a treat for our generation.

The hula dancers were always smiling and seemed to be having fun, dancing not only to Hawaiian melodies but also to upbeat rock tunes. The collaboration with Presley and Michael was fantastic. The dancers' quick costume changes were impressive as well. The fire dance was thrilling and left us in awe.

I initially thought that Elvis and Michael would just be impersonators, but their appearance and dance reminded us of the real deal. And their singing was incredible! We had so much fun, feeling like we were at a genuine show. To top it off, they even came down to the audience and shook hands with us.

Since there are no reserved seats, I recommend arriving early. Photos and videos are allowed as long as there are no flashes. There were also clips from Elvis and Michael's performances in Hawaii. I'm really glad I got to see this show!

Our whole family of 7 enjoyed the Rock A Hula show

I came to Hawaii for my honeymoon. When you think of Hawaii, you naturally want to visit the beautiful ocean, so I was looking forward to the sandbar, and the water there was even more beautiful than I imagined! The photos taken at the sandbar with the mountains in the background turn out to be stunning.

There was a Japanese staff member on the boat who was able to answer any questions I had, which made me feel very comfortable participating in the tour!

ハネムーンでハワイ旅行に来ました。
ハワイと言ったらやはり綺麗な海に行きたかったので、サンドバー期待して行ったのですが、サンドバーの海が想像以上に綺麗で感動しました！
山々の背景にサンドバーで撮る写真はかなり映える写真が撮れます。

船には日本人のスタッフの人がいて、わからないことは教えてくれたので、すごく安心してツアー参加出来ました！

We headed to a sandbar located about a 10-minute boat ride from He'eia Kea Boat Harbor, which is about a 40-minute bus ride from the Waikiki Beach area.

Due to the tides, the sandbar was not fully exposed during my visit, but we were able to experience shallow waters up to our knees.

On the way from the boat harbor to the sandbar, we were able to see sea turtles, and during snorkeling, we got to see them up close.

There were various activities available, such as snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and floating rings, so there was never a dull moment.

Additionally, each person was provided with a rice ball, snacks, and warm drinks on the boat, which was helpful when we got cold.

The staff's English was very easy to understand, so anyone with a little English knowledge could grasp almost everything. They also provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones, so even those who don't speak English at all can participate with confidence.

The bus ride to and from the location can be quite cold due to the air conditioning, so having a light jacket would be convenient.

I had a great time.

ワイキキビーチ地区からバスで40分ほど移動したHe'eia Kea Boat Harborからボートでさらに10分ほどのところにあるサンドバーに向かいます。

潮の満ち引きの関係で私の体験した時はサンドバーが露出するほど潮は引きませんでしたが、膝下ほどの浅瀬を体験出来ます。

ボートハーバーから、サンドバーまで移動する途中にウミガメを見ることができ、その後のシュノーケリングでも手が届くくらい近くでウミガメを見ることが出来ました。

シュノーケリング、サップ、浮き輪など色々遊ぶ物もあったので飽きることはないです。

また、船上で1人1つおにぎりと、スナックや温かい飲み物が提供されるので体が冷えた時は助かりました。

スタッフの方の英語もすごく聞き取りやすいので、少し英語ができる人ならほぼ全て理解出来ますが、英語の説明の後に日本語の説明もして頂けたので全く英語が出来ないひとでも安心して参加出来るかと思います。

行き帰りのバスはクーラーが寒いので、羽織ものはあると便利だと思います。

楽しかったです。

It's a wonderful tour with a beautiful sea and filming locations used in Jurassic Park in the background. The snorkeling is done in a great spot, so you can see plenty of fish and I saw several turtles as well. It was an option tour where I could spend time in a homey atmosphere, and I have no complaints.

綺麗な海だしバックにジュラシックパークで使われた撮影場所もある素晴らしいツアー。
シュノーケリングも良い具合の場所でやるから魚も沢山見れるし亀も何匹も見ました。
アットホームにツアーを過ごせて文句なしなオプションツアーでした。

I was unsure whether to add the all-you-can-drink soft drinks, but I'm glad I did. Since it's hot, I could drink as much as I wanted without having to go back to the locker each time to throw away my cups. I also opted for the shuttle service. The slides had almost no wait, and even when I did wait, it was less than 5 minutes! With 5 hours, you can go around all the slides twice. I got really sunburned, so I recommend applying sunscreen frequently. The locker was available for the whole day, and I rented a small one for $15.

ソフトドリンク飲み放題つけるか迷いましたがつけてよかったです。暑いので何回でも飲めるのとすぐ捨てられるからいちいちロッカーに行かなくてすみます。送迎もつけました。スライダーはほぼ並ばずで待っても5分未満でした！5時間あれば全スライダー2周はできます。日焼けすごくしたのでこまめに日焼け止め塗るのがおすすめです。
ロッカーは1日開け放題で小さいロッカーを借りて15ドルでした。

I was glad to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. The staff were very friendly and kind. I was satisfied with the simple plan and schedule because I wanted to take my time enjoying the views.

とてもきれいなハワイの景色が観れて良かったです。
スタッフの方ととてもフレンドリーで、親切でした。
景色をゆっくりみたかったので、シンプルなプランとタイムスケジュールで満足でした。

We visited Hawaii for our honeymoon. I wanted to see dolphins in the dream destination of Hawaii, so I joined this tour. Although it was an early start, we were lucky enough to encounter not only dolphins but also whales on this tour. I was also thrilled to see sea turtles. The staff were very kind, and there were Japanese-speaking staff members, which made me feel at ease. During snorkeling, I was able to relax and see colorful fish in the beautiful sea. The slide from the boat was also fun. On the way back, we got to see a hula dance, which became a wonderful memory. For those worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. If you forget, you can also purchase a motion sickness band that is said to be effective on the bus ride there.

新婚旅行で訪れたハワイ。憧れのハワイでイルカも見たいと思い、こちらのツアーに参加しました。
早起きでしたが参加したこのツアーではイルカだけでなく運良くクジラにも出会えることができました。また、ホヌも見れることができとても興奮しました。スタッフの方々もとても親切で日本語対応スタッフもいるので安心して参加できました。シュノーケルでは綺麗な海でゆったりと色鮮やかな魚たちも見ることができました。また、船からの滑り台も楽しかったです。帰りの船上ではフラダンスも見ることができ最高の思い出になりました。船酔いが心配な方はあらかじめ酔い止めを飲んでいくことをお勧めします。忘れた場合は、行きのバスの中で、
酔い止めに効くと言われる酔い止めバンドを購入することもできます。

This trip was fantastic! We started with a Honolulu city tour learning about the Kingdom of Hawaii, as well as Punchbowl Cemetery. We then headed to Pearl Harbor, where we honored the fallen at the Arizona. The Missouri and Aviation Museum were also great! The bus picked us up promptly at 8am from our hotel in Waikiki and we were dropped off at 5pm, but the day seemed to fly by. Our drivers Lola and BK were wonderful!! The company was also kind enough to hold the last bus for us because we were running late. Royal Star was in charge of the tour - very organized and all the employees were great!!
