This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands. The canoe show was great!

I had always wanted to try skydiving. During our honeymoon trip to Hawaii, I jumped for the first time with my wife. It was both of our first experiences, but the moment we jumped out of the airplane was so shocking that it felt like my mind was blown away! Thanks to this, it became our best memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much.
以前から一度やってみたいと思っていたスカイダイビング。
新婚旅行でハワイに行くタイミングで、嫁と一緒に初めて飛びました。
二人とも初めての経験でしたが、特に飛行機から飛び出した瞬間は、あまりに衝撃的で頭の中が吹っ飛ぶような感覚です!
お陰様でハワイでの一番の思い出となりました。
ありがとうございました。

From the time you walk up to the building, these people at Pacific Skydiving are the most helpful and fun people. I was Amazed at how they were able to make me feel so comfortable about this thrill seekers dream jump! Misha was my jump partner and he explained everything to me and taught me everything he could not only about sky diving, but about the island of Oahu as well. He quickly found that we had very similar interest's, so he made sure to let me know where to visit so I could enjoy my trip. My cameraman stayed out of my field of view to maximize my experience which was awesome! I want to thank everyone at Pacific skydiving for the best Birthday gift I could imagine.....The gift of freedom!!!!

We wanted to see other parts of the island without having to rent a car ourselves and this was a good option. Our guide who has done surfing knew of the various beaches and pointed out the various ones. We stopped and had time at various stops including the Dole plantation and the Banyan trees from Lost. It seemed we covered things to see in a one day car trip around the island. The Jeep was comfortable though could have been any car—no four wheel driving for instance. We were able to see what there was to see to help decide where we would come back to another time to experience in more detail. Of course it helps immensely that Oahu is a beautiful place.

When we were heading up in the helicopter, I started to feel my legs tremble, wondering if we were still going higher, but there was no time to hesitate as the diver jumped in with me! I had planned to strike various poses, but the resistance while falling made it hard to move, and I ended up flailing like a crab... haha.
The view was breathtaking!!!! The beautiful sea, mountains, windmills, and colorful buildings were all so stunning.
Once we were in the air, it was beautiful! Fun! The best!

As the reviews said, there were no Japanese people at all, and it was a space where I could fully enjoy being overseas. There were people from various countries, but it felt very homey, and the guide was very kind.
The zipline experience lasted a solid three hours. I was extremely satisfied. Along the way, they quizzed us about Hawaiian history, we cracked and ate walnuts, and we ate bananas—there was never a dull moment!

I had always wanted to visit Kualoa Ranch. I wasn't very experienced with horseback riding, and I was worried about the guide speaking English, but it turned out fine! Before riding, we watched an explanation video in Japanese. There was no waiting time at all, and we could get on the horses right away after arriving. The horse I rode was a bit free-spirited and sometimes moved on its own, but it was very well-behaved and walked slowly along the designated path. I had the experience of realizing that Hawaii is not just about the ocean! You can ride a horse through a place that feels like stepping into a movie world! It was so much fun!\(^o^)/ I was disappointed that I didn't have enough time to try the ranch's hamburger (laughs).

Ac is very cold in the imax show. We took the boat ride and went the very back and visited all the villages back so it’s a one way trip to the buffet if the timing is right.

Good zip line experience with a mix of short and long zip line runs. Was able to go up side down on the majority of the zip lines, although they prefer to save "tricks" for the last 2 zip lines as a surprise.
All lines are dual zip - so you go two at a time. Takes about 2 1/2 hours with 11 people in the group. Guides were fun, helpful, and took some good pictures (separate charge to buy their pictures). They encourage you to take your own pictures too.

It was an incredibly happy time, and my mother, who joined me, was very satisfied as well.

Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see my 2-year-old son experience horseback riding for the first time during the 20-minute introductory course, which made me feel his growth. My wife, who had said she might ride if our son couldn't, ultimately didn't get to ride, but she was satisfied watching our son on the horse. Thanks to the very friendly staff, we had the best time.

It was my first time skydiving, but there was a brief explanation beforehand, and I was able to dive without any issues. Just before jumping out of the Cessna, I felt a little nervous, but diving into the bright blue sky was an amazing experience. At first, it was a bit cold in short sleeves, but by the time the parachute opened, the temperature had risen, and I was able to enjoy the view of the ground as I landed slowly. I would love to try it again if I have the chance.

I was very excited for my first skydiving experience. First, in the car that picked us up, we had to read and sign a consent form, which was quite lengthy and made me feel a bit car sick. I thought it would be fine to take motion sickness medication before skydiving, but I recommend taking it before getting in the car for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Upon arriving at Pacific Skydiving, we received a briefing about the fees in a room, but since it was all in English, we were a bit confused as we don't speak English well. However, we managed somehow (laughs). We showed our voucher and selected photos and videos.
Then, when our names were called, we were fitted with harnesses and received explanations from the instructor in broken Japanese. It felt like a very brief explanation, and before we knew it, we were boarding the plane (laughs).
Once we were on the plane, it all happened so quickly. For a moment after jumping, I couldn't breathe and honestly thought it might be tough to continue in that situation, but I quickly got used to it, and after that, it was just amazing.
I was completely hooked. I definitely want to experience it again when I go to Hawaii!
初めてのスカイダイビング体験で、とてもドキドキしていました。
まずお迎えの車内で、同意書を読み、サインをするものがあり、それがなかなかの量で車に酔ってしまいました。スカイダイビングの前に酔い止めを飲めばいいと思っていましたが、酔いやすい人は車に乗る前に飲むのがおすすめです。
パシフィックスカイダイビングに到着し、お部屋で料金説明を受けますが、全て英語の為、英語ができない私たちはハテナ?な感じでしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)バウチャーを見せ、写真やムービーを選択しました。
そして名前を呼ばれ、ハーネスをつけられ、インストラクターからカタコトの日本語で説明を受けます。これだけ?って感じの説明でもう飛行機に乗り込みます(笑)
乗ってからはあっとゆうまでした。
飛び降りてからしばらくは息が出来ず、こんな状況が続くのか、正直辛いかもと思いましたが、すぐに慣れて、そのあとはもう最高としか言えないものでした。
見事にハマりました。またハワイに行ったらぜひ体験したいです!

Skydiving was my first experience. It's something I want to try at least once in my life. I thought I would feel great flying like a bird, but the pressure on my ears was intense, and it felt like my eardrums were about to burst, haha. Even after landing, I felt nauseous, and the ride back to the hotel was hell. It's best to go when you're in perfect health.
I signed up on the same day I arrived in Hawaii, and I couldn't make it in time, so I took a taxi from the airport, which cost just over $100. While not everyone may do the same, it's something to keep in mind. In addition to the tour fee, you'll need to tip the instructor and pay for videos and photos. We ended up spending about 25,000 yen extra for two people.
The skydiving instructor was really cheerful, and we had a great time! Thank you for the valuable experience!!

The activities themselves and the staff were good, but the shuttle tour was quite stressful.
First, the meeting time was 7:45, but the car did not arrive. There were other Westerners at the meeting point, and we were all waiting together, confirming that the shuttle had not come. At 8:05, one shuttle arrived. I felt relieved and tried to get on with others, but our names were not on the list. When I asked the driver, he said another car would come, so we had to wait... We had already been waiting for 20 minutes, and we were the only Japanese left behind. I started to worry whether our reservation was confirmed.
Even at 8:15, the car had not come. It was getting too late, so I left my companions and ran to the hotel front desk to make a call. However, I was told that they were delayed due to traffic and to wait another 10 minutes, so I ran back to the meeting point.
At 8:30, even after waiting more than the 10 minutes they mentioned, the car still had not arrived. I started to feel like canceling. For now, I ran back to the hotel front desk and called again. I was told it would come soon, so I ran back to the meeting point. Standing outside for so long made me anxious and angry, and I was getting tired.
At 8:40, the shuttle finally arrived. Since most of the passengers were Japanese, it seemed to be a car that gathered Japanese tour participants. Later, I found out that others had also been waiting without knowing what was going on.
Inside the car, the driver apologized for the delay, but since it was in English, I couldn't fully understand the reasons. We arrived at the destination safely. The activity itself was 20 minutes late, but I was in a group with other Japanese participants, and the staff were fun, plus the scenery was great, so it turned out to be a wonderful time.
Around 13:00, the activity ended. We collected our belongings and selected photos, but since we hadn’t been informed about the return meeting time, we just waited. At 13:30, since it was hot outside, the driver kindly let us into the car. I appreciated that.
However, while all the Japanese participants who did the activity got on, we had to wait because the members from the outbound shuttle were not all present. At 14:15, the remaining person arrived, apologizing as they got on. We departed, but I had expected to be back in Waikiki by 14:30, which messed up my plans for the day. I thought if they had informed us of the return meeting time, we wouldn’t have been delayed this much.
Around 15:30, we returned to the hotel in Waikiki.
As I mentioned, I cannot trust the shuttle timing at all. Additionally, all communication is in English, and using a mobile phone abroad is difficult, which made me very anxious and stressed. The staff were all nice, and the activity was enjoyable, but it seems that no one is managing or taking responsibility for the schedule and timing of the optional tour with shuttle service. In this situation, I cannot recommend it to others, and I think improvements are necessary, so I will give it one star.
アクティビティ自体も、スタッフも良かったですが、送迎付きツアーとしてはストレスが溜まりました。
まず、集合時間7:45でしたが車が来ない。欧米人の方も待ち合わせ場所にいて、お互い同じツアー参加者で送迎車が来ないことについて確認したりして待っていました。
8:05に一台の送迎車が到着。ほっとして他の方と一緒に乗り込もうとしますが、私達の名前はなく、運転手に聞くと、もう一台車が来るから待つようにと…既に20分待っている上、残されるのは日本人の私達だけ。予約が取れているのか不安になります。
8:15になっても車は来ない。いくらなんでも遅すぎるので同行者を残し、ホテルのフロントに走り、電話をかけます。しかし、道路渋滞?のため遅れているからと、あと10分まつように言われ、集合場所に走って戻ります。
8:30、言われた10分以上待っても車が来ない。キャンセルしたくなってきます。とりあえずもう一度ホテルのフロントに走り、再度電話します。すぐ来ると言われ、また集合場所に走って戻ります。ずっと外で立ちっぱなしでいることもあり、不安と怒りで疲れます。
8:40、やっと送迎車到着。大半が日本人だったので、日本人のツアー客を集めた車のようです。後で聞いてみると、他の方もよく分からずずっと待っていた様子。
車の中で、運転手が遅れたことを謝っていましたが、英語なので理由等はよくわかりませんでした。
無事に現地到着。アクティビティ自体は20分遅れでしたが、他の日本人の方と一緒のグループでしたし、スタッフさんも楽しい方で、景色も良く最高の時間でした。
13:00頃アクティビティが終了。荷物を回収したり、写真を選びますが、帰りの集合等は聞いていないためそのまま待ちます。
13:30、外が暑いため、運転手さんが気を利かせて、車の中に入れてくれました。これはありがたかったです。
しかし、一緒にアクティビティをしていた日本人は全員乗り込みましたが、行きの送迎車のメンバーが揃っていないため、この状態で待ちます。
14:15、まだ来ていなかった方が謝りながら乗車。出発しましたが、14:30にはワイキキに戻れると思っていたため、当日の予定が狂います。最初に帰りの集合時間等を知らせておけばこんなに遅れなかったのでは?と思いました。
15:30頃、ワイキキのホテルに帰着。
以上のとおり、送迎については時間が全く信用できません。また、やりとりは全て英語になりますし、海外では携帯も使いづらいため、とても不安で、ストレスが溜まりました。
スタッフは皆さん良い方でしたし、アクティビティも楽しかったですが、送迎付きのオプショナルツアー記載の日程や時間については、誰も管理されてないし、責任もないのだと思います。
この状態では他の人におすすめはできないのと、改善した方が良いと思うので、星は1つにします。

The luau itself was amazing. My family and I enjoyed participating in the pre show activities while learning about true polynesian culture and traditions. It's a smaller luau with only about 200 guests but with the smaller number of patrons you really get to interact and learn from everyone involved.
The host for the activities, Uncle Bob, has a great sense of humor as do the men that do the "cooking" and food prep demonstrations. These men are no joke, they even climbed up the coconut trees. They teach you about a traditional tribe welcoming and uses the guests to act as the tribes while explaining the rituals associated with welcoming guests to their community.
Not a huge selection of foods to sample but everything there was delicious. Kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, green salad with macadamia nuts, rice, rolls, chantilly cake from Teds Bakery and a coconut type of jello dessert.
The family band that played music during dinner was Amazing. Those kids can really sing! The dancing was very traditional, not just girls in coconut bras and hula skirts, but real polynesian dancing showcasing dances from a variety of the polynesian islands. I was a VIP guest and we were right at eye level with the stage but it looked like most people would have quite a good view of the stage. We also got to go to the buffet first and got great souvenirs. My husband and I got hand fans, my son got a wooden Maui-type hook necklace and my daughter got a wood beaded bracelet that said Hawaii with hibiscus flowers printed on it. After dinner and show on your way out you were able to speak more with the staff and dancers and take pictures with them.
If it was your birthday we all sang happy birthday and you got an extra piece of cake, if it was your anniversary or honeymoon they brought you onstage for a slow dance and gave you a nut lei.
All this plus you get entry into the Waimea valley where you can swim in a waterfall and see beautiful trees and foliage!
Aloha, and mahalo mui for your review. We are review. We are pleased to know that you had the best time at the luau. It is with delight that we read your review of your luau, which we have planned to be an Interactive one. I by the way also hope the band played and sang Blue Bayou. That song, sang by an of the kids is a real tear jerker.

During free fall, it felt more like flying than falling, and it was amazing. With a photographer, you can get beautiful shots during free fall, but they can't take photos while the parachute is deployed. With an instructor, they can take photos until the very end, so I felt there are pros and cons to both options.
フリーフォール中は落ちているというより、飛んでいる感覚で、最高でした。カメラマン付きだとフリーフォール中は綺麗に撮ってもらえますが、パラシュートの間は撮れないです。インストラクターだと最後まで撮ってもらえるので一長一短と感じました。

Jumping from a Cessna at an altitude higher than the clouds!
I thought it would be a straight free fall, but I was instructed to hold hands with the instructor and descend while spinning, and even got to steer after the parachute opened... I came down sideways and while rotating. It was quite thrilling.
My wife, perhaps a bit nervous, enjoyed the descent while listening to the explanations of the scenery and taking in the breathtaking views. She mentioned it was even more fun than she expected.
I will definitely repeat this experience on my next visit.
P.S. The ground guide, Masa, is also fun and kind. I hope to see him again.
上空の雲より高いところまでセスナで上がってジャンプ!
まっすぐの自由落下かと思いきや、
インストラクターさんに手を組まされて回転しながらの降下や、パラシュートが開いてからの操縦までさせてもらい…横向きになったり回転しながら降下してきました。
なかなかのスリルでした。
…妻は多少ビビりながらだったためか、景色の説明を聞きながら、絶景を楽しみながら降下したらしいのですが。
思っていた以上に楽しかった、と話していました。
次回も訪れたら必ずリピートします。
追伸、地上の案内人・マサさんも楽しく優しいです。また会いたいです。

This was, quite simply, AMAZING! The crew were all super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. As soon as we reached the snorkel spot we saw sharks, which came pretty close. We would absolutely do this again.

The Toa Luau was a great first luau for our family (30 to 60 year olds). Waimea Valley itself is beautiful; definitely come at least 2 hours early to be able to walk to the waterfall and enjoy the scenery. The pre-luau activities like weaving grass head bands, husking coconuts etc were fun. The show itself was fantastic too - they performed authentic ceremonies and dances from different Polynesian islands. The host was hilarious! Only slight downside was the food was only mediocre. We are all vegetarian and our main entree was bland quinoa; but we were happy there was even a vegetarian option (you have to request ahead of time though). Overall this luau is definitely worth it and we will recommend it to all of our family and friends!!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are glad you had fun at the luau although it looks like we need to work on our menu. When you come back to do the luau please let us know beforehand so we could make preparations for you to have a better meal. We hope to see you soon!
