Oahu
Such a convenient location for anyone that is staying in Waikiki! The food was amazing and they had a nice variety to choose from. I have been to a couple different ones so far and this one ranks high on my list for the food! The entertainment was great and I loved the fire knife dancers, they put on a great show. The MC made sure to keep everyone involved throughout the show and overall we had a great time. I would highly recommend, especially for anyone that is staying in Waikiki that doesn't want to drive too far out to attend a Luau.
We participated as a couple on our honeymoon, but perhaps we underestimated the boat, as both of us got seasick and were down for the count... Additionally, it was raining and cold. During the parasailing, we didn't have the luxury to enjoy the scenery, and it was quite tough... I did bring my phone with a waterproof cover and was able to take some pictures. It seemed that those who took motion sickness medication had no issues, so I recommend taking it.
ハネムーンで旦那と2人で参加しましたが、船をなめていたのか、2人とも船酔いでダウンしました...。さらに雨も降っていて寒かったです。パラセイリングの最中は景色を楽しむ余裕もなく、かなり辛かったです...。携帯は防水カバーをつけて持っていき写真は取ることができました。
酔い止めを飲んでいる方は特に問題は無かったようなので、酔い止めを飲むことをおすすめします。
It´s quite a unique and different experience. I don´t know if all of these scooters are like this but mine didn´t move much. You could turn but not move forward so that was disappointing.
I saw mostly sardines, a couple of pretty fish and two small sea turtles at the bottom (but you had to be looking hard for them). The fun thing is that they have a food thing attached to each scooter so you squeeze it and the fish (mostly sardines) come right in front of your face.
The crew was really helpful and nice. They gave me some sea sickness oil but I think they should offer it to everyone since four of us threw up.
Overall it was an OK experience but I wouldn´t do it again like I´ve done snorkeling multiple times.
It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).
The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.
I was excited to go on this event. My excitement was well rewarded. On the way out we got a bonus of seeing a whole group of humpback whales breaching high in the air!!! At this point I felt my money was already a good investment!
The sharks did not disappoint either!! At least 20 of them circled our boat and cage while we got great views! Captain Caleo is a super guy and excellent at steering this tour perfectly
I would recommend this tour to all my friends!
Oh and we saw dolphins on the way back!!
We set sail in favorable winds, almost calm conditions, with a group of 10 people divided into 4 parties. It took about 10 minutes to reach the parasailing spot. Upon arrival, we had a brief orientation and fitted our harnesses. Before we knew it, the first group was flying, soaring into the blue sky. We were the last of the four groups, and since it was a 150-meter course, we went up to quite a height. The view of the hotel cluster in Waikiki from above the sea and the Diamond Head shining against the blue sky was amazing. It was so much fun!
風に恵まれほぼ無風状態で出航 4組10人のクルーズです パラセーリングの場所まで10分ほど 到着するとすぐに簡単なオリエンテーションとハーネス合わせ あれよあれよという間に1組目がフライト するすると青空の中に吸い込まれていきます 4組中ラストの私たち 150メートルコースなのでかなりの高さまで上がりました 海の上から見るワイキキのホテル群 青空に映えるダイヤモンドヘッド いやぁ楽しかったぁ!
I enjoyed a traditional luau and beautiful hula. Since the trip was all private plans, the activities were also individually arranged. I splurged a bit and reserved seats in the front center, which were close and had a great view. To my left and right were couples and families from Australia, New Zealand, and the mainland United States. It was fun to talk to each other and share snacks. After the show, we took the escalator down to the first floor and went straight to our room! It was very convenient. The welcome drink was a Mai Tai, which had me feeling a bit tipsy, and for my second drink, I had orange juice to refresh myself! The professional dancers were impressive; both the luau and hula were very captivating.
伝統的なルアウと美しいフラで楽しめました 旅行はすべてプライベートプランのためアクティビティも個人エントリー ちょっと奮発して座席は前方中央席を予約 近くて迫力ありました 左右向かえはオーストラリア ニュージーランド アメリカ本土からのカップルと家族連れ 話しかけたり、話しかけられたり おつまみのスナックを分け合ったりして楽しかったです。ショーが終われば、エスカレーターで1Fに降りそのままお部屋に! とっても楽です。ウエルカムドリンクはマイタイでほろ酔い気味 2敗目はオレンジジュースでさっぱりと! さすがはプロのダンサー ルアウ フラともに見応え十分です
This luau is in a perfect location for anyone staying in Waikiki. If you don't want a long drive to and from your luau, book this one because it's walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki.
Another great thing about this luau is the food. Of all the luau I've attended, this is only the second one to offer a dish with tofu. Any luau that has good vegetarian/vegan options rates very high in my book. My friends were also very pleased with the meat selection.
The entertainment was enjoyable and impressive. I especially enjoyed the fire knife dancing. I also enjoyed how each of the dance routines represented a different Polynesian island. So you get to learn a little about the culture and history of the island nations that populated Hawaii.
I highly recommend this activity if your staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.
It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.
There are some things I'm a bit unsure about (like whether you get a lei or not), but it should be a fun experience. Also, once the show starts, it becomes difficult to go get food from the buffet, so I think it's better to grab a good amount during the initial food pickup. If you take a little and think you can just go back if you need more, you might find it hard to go again and end up regretting it.
ちょっとどうかなぁ、と思うところもありますが(レイが貰えたり貰えなかったり)、楽しい経験になるでしょう。なお、ショーがスタートするとビュッフェの料理は取りに行き難くなりますから、最初の料理ピックアップの際に、シッカリ取っておいた方が良いと思います。少なめに取って、足りなければ、また行けばよいや、と思っていると、なんか行き難い雰囲気になって後悔するかも。
It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.
The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.
Has the time of my life, it was a once in a lifetime experience. If I ever had the chance to do it again I wouldn’t hesitate. Guides were great and the shark experience even better. Oh yeah and we saw whales!
I participated with my elderly mother and husband. The food was very delicious, and the show was wonderful. In particular, the host's talk was entertaining, and we were enveloped in laughter and emotion. The guide was also kind and spoke slowly in easy-to-understand English for Japanese people, which was reassuring. After the show, we immediately got on the bus, so I thought it would be good to use the restroom after finishing the meal. The return bus had quite strong air conditioning, so a jacket is definitely necessary.
高齢の母と主人と3人で参加いたしました。食事もとても美味しくショーも素晴らしかったです。
特に司会の方のトークが面白くて笑いと感動に包まれました。ガイドの方も親切で、日本人にはわかりやすい英語でゆっくり話してくれますので、安心です。ショーが終わったらすぐにバスに乗りますので、食事が終わったところでトイレに行っておくといいと思いました。帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきいていますので必ず上着が必要です。
This is the 4th time our family has done this tour. It does not get old! Free pick up in Waikiki. Trip to the biggest sand bar in the world. Cheeseburger (or vegetarian!) lunch. Turtle watching. Snorkeling on private reef. Excellent hosting (with Jenner on the guitar). Great value. DO
IT!!!
I was very impressed with the company. The company picked us up from our condo in Waikiki. The driver was very nice and personable. The staff on the boat was very nice, and made us feel very comfortable. The experience of feeling like a bird was exciting. I would highly recommend this company. Their professionalism was superb.
Aloha Klee, Thank you for coming out parasailing with us. I am very happy you enjoyed it, we enjoy the fun and excitement the parasail experience provides to all of our customers, it truly is a blessing to us. Hope to see you again in the near future.

The weather on the day of the event was perfect. My wife, who is usually not accustomed to riding a bicycle, and I participated together, and we both had a fantastic time!
For those who regularly ride mountain bikes, the trails might feel a bit lacking, but the stunning scenery, the impressive mountain ranges, the beautiful blue sea, and visiting locations that have been used in numerous films made it all incredibly enjoyable.
I think the course overlaps with most other activities, so I highly recommend experiencing it on a bicycle while feeling the wind!
Thanks to the e-bike, my wife was completely unexhausted and was very satisfied just enjoying the ride.
当日の天気は開催。
普段は自転車に不慣れな妻との2人で参加してきましたが、2人とも思いっきり楽しむことができました!
普段からMTBに乗られてる方は、走る道そのものは物足りないかもしれませんが、それを上回る景色の良さ、連なる山々の迫力、青く綺麗な海、数々の映画の撮影で使われてきた場所の来訪、とにかく楽しかったです。
他のアクティビティとコース的にはほとんど同じ場所をまわるかと思いますので、是非自転車で風を感じながら楽しんでみては!!
ebikeのおかげで、妻も全く疲れることもなく、ただ楽しむことができたと満足しておりました。
- I chose a 5-person buggy, and it was great because it could be used by just two of us along with our companions.
- Since it was a plan without transportation, I tried renting a car for a day, but since I'm not familiar with the area from Waikiki, there's a possibility of being late or cutting it close, so I recommend opting for a plan with transportation included.
・バギーで5人乗りのものを選択したが、同行者と2人だけで使えたのでとても良かった
・送迎なしのプランだったのでレンタカーを1日借りてみたが、ワイキキからだと慣れていないこともありギリギリor遅刻する可能性があるので送迎付きをおすすめする
Parasailing in Hawaii was really scary but the best experience ever! You definitely should try it! 150 meters was frightening, but the view was amazing and it truly became a wonderful memory ❤️❤️ It was scary, but I think I want to do it again. Highly recommended ☺️
hawaiiでパラセーリングは本当怖かったけど最高でしたー!!
あれは是非やるべき!
150メートルは怖かったけど景色は最高で本当良い思い出になりました❤️❤️
怖かったけどまたやりたいなって思います。
絶対オススメ☺️
I participated in the same tour last year, and I was surprised to see that the crew member was the same person. It seemed like he remembered us, which made me happy! I would like to join again when I come to Hawaii.
去年も同じツアーに参加しましたが、クルーザーのお兄さんが同じ人で驚きました。
何となくお兄さんも私たちを覚えていてくれたようで、嬉しかったです!
また、ハワイに来るときは参加したいです。
At first, I was unlucky and thought I wouldn't meet anyone this time, but in the second half, I got to swim with dolphins up close!! The excitement of swimming with dolphins is something I will never forget! I definitely want to participate again next time!
最初は運が悪く全然出会えず、今回はダメかなと思っていましたが、後半でイルカ先生が!!
間近でイルカと泳いだ感動は今でも忘れられないです!次回もぜひ参加したい!
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University!
The excitement of finally meeting wild dolphins is truly exceptional, isn't it?^^
We hope you will join us again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
MAHALO!

この度はイルカ大学へのご参加ありがとうございました!
野生のイルカ!やっと会えた時の感動は格別ですよね^^
ぜひまたご参加くださいませ。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
MAHALO!

We participated as a couple. We were moved to see beautiful fish. A sea turtle swam from afar, and the staff operated the sea bob to take us close to it. We were thrilled to see the gracefully swimming sea turtle at a distance where we could almost reach it. It's an activity that anyone can enjoy without any swimming skills, so you can relax and have fun. There were staff members who understood Japanese, and everyone kindly supported us with attention to detail. I highly recommend it!
夫婦で参加しました。綺麗な魚たちを見れて感動しました。遠くからウミガメが泳いで来て、サポートの方がシーボブを操作し近くまで連れて行って下さりました。優雅に泳ぐウミガメを手が届いてしまう距離で見ることができて、大興奮でした。全く泳げなくても問題は一切なく、安心して楽しめるアクティビティです。スタッフの方も、日本語が分かる方がいらっしゃり、皆さま細かいところまで親切にサポートしてくださいました。とってもおすすめです!
The wild and playful uncle keeps you entertained! The view during parasailing is incredibly beautiful, and I was captivated by it! I definitely want to experience it again the next time I come to Hawaii!
遊び心満載のワイルドなおじさんが楽しませてくれます!
パラセイリングの最中に見える景色は大変綺麗で見惚れてしまいました!
次ハワイに来た時も是非体験したいです!
The Polynesian dinner show at Hilton was my second time, following Guam, and the food and drinks were just okay. Since it was my birthday, they wished me a happy birthday.
ヒルトンのポリネシアンディナーショーは、グアムに続き2回目で、食事、飲み物はまあまあです。
誕生日だったので、おめでとうを言ってもらいました。
Food was ok but experience was great! Happy we chose to spend our day with this crew
We did ziplining and ATV riding (with transportation included).
Basically, everything is in English. The staff members are very friendly and smiley. However, everything is primarily in English. And there were hardly any tourists... it was so quiet, it felt like the saying "the cuckoo is crying" applies here... We stayed for the entire morning, but there were only two groups: us and two Australian men.
If you don't understand English, the tours at Kualoa might be more enjoyable since many Japanese people work there, and there were no language barriers.
① Ziplining
You do about six lines, but they aren't very high. So, it wasn't scary at all. It felt like "oh, is that it?" I think those expecting thrills might find it lacking. On the other hand, it might be good for those who are afraid of heights or scary things. I found it scarier when I did it in Ito, Japan.
② ATV Riding
In a word... intense!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt like my life was in danger while driving!!
I'm not very skilled at driving, but on the bumpy roads, the steering was difficult, so I desperately tried to avoid hitting trees. At first, you do about two laps in a practice area, and I think they said something in English about not being allowed to go out on the course if you crash three times.
I managed to clear that, but once I started driving, it was super scary!! Since it's a two-seater, I was also responsible for my partner's safety, so I drove desperately. There was no room to enjoy it. On top of that, due to a storm last week, there were puddles, and I ended up covered in mud from head to toe. (Not exaggerating, I was completely covered in mud). They do lend you goggles and a face mask. I also wore a hood to protect myself completely, but sand even got into my mouth through the mask.
However, looking back now, it's a great memory. As an adult, I probably won't have the chance to get that muddy again, haha. At Kualoa, I was able to drive comfortably without getting dirty, so if you want a pleasant driving experience without the mess, go to Kualoa; if you're looking for thrills, then Adventure Park is the place.
*You will get completely dirty, but the shower only has water.
I was transported back with mud still on me.
I think those doing the ATV should request transportation instead of renting a car.
One thing I would like to ask is that the staff took a lot of photos with their smartphones. Since I provided my email address at the beginning, I thought they would send them to me, but I haven't received anything.
Will the photos be sent to me?
私達は、ジップライン・四輪バギーをしました。(送迎つき)
基本的には、すべて英語です。スタッフの皆様は、とても笑顔で感じが良いです。が、基本すべて英語。そして、観光客がいない・・閑古鳥が鳴くとはこのことか・・・・午前中いっぱい滞在しましたが、お客は、私達と、オーストラリア男性2人との2組だけでした。
英語がわからない方は、クアロアのツアーの方が楽しく遊べるかもしれません。クアロアは日本人がたくさん働いていて、言葉には困りませんでした。
①ジップライン
6本ほどやりますが、あまり高いところをやりません。なので、全然怖くなかったです。あれっっって感じ。スリルを期待している人には、物足りなく感じると思います。逆に、怖いもの、高いものが苦手の人はいいと思います。
日本の伊東でやった方が怖かったです。
②四輪バギー
一言・・・強烈!!!!!!!
命の危険を感じながら運転しました・・!!
ドライビングテクはあまりある方ではありませんが、でこぼこ道だとハンドルが取られるため、木にぶつからないように必死で運転しました。最初に、練習場にて2週位するのですが、3回クラッシュするとコースに出させることはできない的なことを英語で言ってた気がします。
そこはなんとかクリアするものの、いざ運転するとめっちゃこわいー!!
2人乗りなので、相方の命も握っている訳で、必死に運転しました。楽しむ余裕はない。おまけに、先週嵐で水たまりができていたこともあり、全身頭から足まで、泥だらけになりました。(大げさではなく、全身どろをかぶりました)。一応、ゴーグルと、顔マスクは貸してくれます。私はフードもかぶってすっぽり全身保護しましたが、マスクを通り越して口の中に砂が入ってきたほどです。
ですが今となってはいい思い出です。大人になってから、あんなに泥にまみれることはないでしょう笑 クアロアは気持ちよく運転してましたので、汚れずに、気持ちよく運転するならクアロア、スリルを求める人は、アドベンチャーパークでしょう。
*全身汚れますが、シャワーは水しかでません。
泥をつけたまま送迎してもらいました。
バギーの人はレンタカーでなく、送迎をお願いすべきだと思います。
一つ教えていただきたいのですが、スタッフさんが、スマートフォンで沢山写真をとってくれていました。最初にメールアドレスも記載したので、てっきり送ってくれるものだと思ったのですが、送られてきません。
写真は送っていただけるものでしょうか??
It's perfect for movie lovers. The scenery from the films is right in front of you! It's a valuable experience! The botanical garden was also enjoyable with the guide's humor. Lunch can get crowded, but there were enough chairs for us to sit. At one point, we ran out of hot water for milk, and since the next tour time and dining area weren't in a restaurant, I was concerned about hygiene for the baby and didn't order. Also, there are no changing tables, but if you're well-prepared, it's fine for those with babies! You can sit for a long time without getting tired and enjoy it all the way to the end.
映画好きには最高です。映画でみた景色がまさに目の前に!貴重な体験ができます!また植物園もガイドさんのユーモアがある案内で楽しめました!ランチは混んでますが、椅子の数が十分あったので座れました。途中、ミルク用のお湯が足りなくなり、頼むにも次の見学の時間や、食事場所もレストラン?ではないので赤ちゃんにとっての衛生面が心配で頼みませんでした。またおむつ交換台もないですが、赤ちゃん連れの方はしっかり準備して行けば大丈夫です!座ってる時間が長いので疲れず、ゆったり最後まで楽しめます
I experienced the 150m, and since it was over the sea, I didn't have a fear of heights. About 90% of the staff spoke English, but even though I couldn't speak English, they explained things clearly and used gestures. It was a wonderful honeymoon. Thank you!
150m体験したのですが、海の上とゆう事もあり高さの恐怖は無かったです。
スタッフさんが90%くらい英語でしたが、英語できない私でも分かりやすく説明&ジェスチャーしてくれました。
素敵なハネムーンになりました。ありがとうございました!
150M course
I participated at the end of November for my honeymoon. The guests were all in a lively mood, and I was asked to "chu chu" (kiss) and got some photos taken. I thought the system of being able to buy photos digitally was really great. My husband isn't the type to kiss in front of others, so I was really happy that we captured that moment!
Honestly, I'm not good with heights. I was scared until we went up, but once we were up there, I had a lot of fun. The view was amazing, and it became a wonderful memory.
The temperature was just right, not too hot. Even with an 18-year age difference, we had a great time!
If I have the chance to go again, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you!
150Mコース
ハネムーンで11月末に参加しました
お客さんもノリノリな雰囲気な人たちばかりで
チューチュー(キスして)と言われ写真も取ってもらいました
写真をデータで買えるシステムはとても良いと思いました
キスを人前でする旦那さんではなかったので
写真に残った事はすごく嬉しかった!
私は正直高いところは苦手です
上がるまでは怖かったですが上がってからはとても楽しめました
景色も最高でとても良い思い出になり楽しめました
暑すぎず丁度よい気温でした
18歳の年の差があっても全然たのしめます!
また行く機会があればぜひ参加したいです
ありがとうございました
The scenery was beautiful, the staff were very friendly and kind, and I had a great time horseback riding. The horses were gentle and all very cute.
景色も良く、スタッフがとてもフレンドリーで優しく、とても楽しく乗馬出来ました。
馬も大人しく、可愛い馬ばかりでした。
Although the guide mentioned that there would be no explanations in Japanese, the presenters at each attraction provided explanations in Japanese, which was helpful.
We chose the movie location tour, jungle exploration, and the Taste of Kualoa tour (a tour to see and taste Hawaii's agricultural products). Since it was our first time, I was wondering what it would be like, but these turned out to be quite enjoyable attractions.
There seem to be many other activities available as well, such as ATV rides, horseback riding, and zip-lining. I thought I would try different attractions next time I come.
The round-trip bus from Honolulu to the ranch was quite uncomfortable on the way there.
The air conditioning was too strong, making it cold, the seats were hard, and the background music was too loud. Since the pickup was at 7 AM, I couldn't even sleep on the bus in that situation.
However, the return bus was comfortable.
案内では日本語での説明はないとのことであったが、各アトラクションでの説明者は日本語で説明してくれて助かった。
私たちは映画ロケ地めぐり・ジャングル探検・テイストオブクアロアツアー(ハワイの農産物見学試食ツアー)をチョイス。初めてなのでどんなものかと思っていたら、これら結構楽しいアトラクションばかりであった。
他には四輪バギー・乗馬・ジップラインなど多くのアクティビティも体験できるようだ。
次回来たときは違うアトラクションも体験しようと思った。
ホノルルから牧場までの行き帰りバスによるものであったが、行きのバスの環境は最悪であった。
冷房効かせすぎで寒かったし、座席も硬くBGMもうるさすぎ、朝7時ピックアップなのでバスの中で寝ていきたくてもそんな状況になれず。
ただ、帰りのバスは快適であった。
