Hello CJM,

Seems like you had a good time on the tour. Glad you got to see all the sights and sounds of Oahu. As far as Hawaiian Translations for certain areas, we might know a little but there is so much to learn. We will work on that and over time we should become a little more familiar. But thank you again for your review and hoped you enjoyed your time in Hawaii.

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

Breathtaking view 絶景

Reviewed by: やまー

We went quite far out on the boat and took off from it! The boat swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but from below, the height of 120 meters surprisingly felt high, and it was more terrifying than just feeling seasick. (laughs) Once in the air, I was healed by the beautiful scenery of the mountains and the sea. They took photos from the boat, which I purchased later for $40. It was over in no time, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ボートで結構沖まで進み船の上から飛び立ちました!波でボートは結構揺れましたが、120mの高さは下から見ていると案外高く、恐怖で船酔いどころではなかったです。笑
飛んでみると山と海の綺麗な景色に癒されました。船から写真を撮影してくださり、後から購入しました。(40ドル)あっという間でしたが、楽しい経験になりました。

Outstanding food and drink along with spectacular views of Waikiki at sunset. Service was great and the show was very upbeat and both entertaining and educational. Would do this dinner cruise on future visits. Easy to book, our bus driver was on time and educated us about different places along the way to the ship.

I participated with my fifth-grade child during Golden Week. The weather was nice, and we could see beautiful sandbars. There were many sea turtles while snorkeling. They provided a buoyant life jacket, so my child was able to snorkel comfortably. The explanations were in Japanese, which was reassuring.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Glad we chose this luau

Reviewed by: LJT

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.

It's just beautiful! This is the ocean of Hawaii!! とにかくキレイ!これぞハワイの海!!

Reviewed by: MOMO

I went snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at a sandbar that I had always wanted to visit! First, I was picked up by a van from a nearby hotel for an extra fee, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the port. (There were about 15 people on board, and since I was the last to get on, that was about the time it took.)

When we arrived at the port, there were restrooms available, so I took care of that and signed some documents while receiving explanations. There were also restrooms on the boat, with two for women and one for men. There was one Japanese woman and a man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) on board.

Once on the boat, two men played guitar and ukulele to liven up the atmosphere! (When we returned to the boat during a break, they played music through the speakers, and I requested a song, which they played.)

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but because it was windy, it felt more like I was being swept away than paddling! However, when the wind died down, I was able to move forward, and it was fun! I had to paddle hard to stay behind the red buoy, but I wasn't making much progress, and seeing that, the man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) helped pull me along.

When we got close to the coral reef for snorkeling, the staff handed out what looked like French bread, and when I tore it apart in the water, a lot of fish came out to see it! There were also small, beautiful fish near the coral, but when I went to a spot near the boat that was about waist-high, I was able to see many large fish, almost a meter long! When I asked the staff, they said it was a white fish and that it would be delicious to eat.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I’ll look forward to that next time. I participated in early May, and when I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly. I regretted not bringing a change of clothes, just a bath towel, so it would have been nice to have something easy to put on, like a dress. The weather was good, and overall, it was a great tour!

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました!
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました!
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな?1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました!
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです!
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン?を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました!
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました!
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした!

I used Mr. Roberts for the transfer to the hotel as usual. Since I've been using them for a long time, the arrangements were the same as always. They also handled my suitcase with care. It's not just for Japanese guests; there are also foreign passengers. The reason for my choice is the reassurance and consistency.

Four groups ride the same boat out to the ocean and take turns jumping in, but the waiting time is also filled with fun moments with people from various countries. Moreover, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean is breathtaking! The time spent flying went by in an instant, but the stable flight in the air and the playful spirit when coming down are full of enjoyment.

【空港送迎】ダニエル・K・イノウエ国際空港(旧ホノルル国際空港)⇔ホテル 格安乗合送迎シャトルサービス by ロバーツハワイ

After waiting for 45 minutes, I was made to change cars midway. 45分待たされた後、途中で車を乗り換えさせられました

Reviewed by: あきえり

On the day of my return, I used a charter service from the hotel to the airport to reduce the burden on my elderly companion. After providing the flight number and time, I was informed to gather at the hotel bus depot 3 hours and 10 minutes prior to departure, and to call if the bus did not arrive after 5 minutes.

I waited from 10 minutes before the designated time, but the charter vehicle did not arrive. When a shuttle bus from the same company came, I confirmed my reservation and was told to wait a little longer. After 10 minutes, I became quite worried, and the hotel made two calls on my behalf. Finally, after 45 minutes, the shuttle bus arrived. I boarded it and left the bus depot, then switched to the charter vehicle at a different location within the hotel grounds to head to the airport. It seemed the charter driver did not understand the meeting point.

I never want to use this service again.

帰国日、ホテルから空港への利用です。高齢の同行者の負担を減らそうと、貸切りチャーターにしました。
便名、時間を伝えると、その3時間10分前にホテルのバスデポ集合となり、5分経過しても来ない場合は電話するようにとの案内です。
指定時刻10分前から待っていましたがチャーター車は来ず、途中、同社シャトルバスが来た際に確認すると、予約は入っているのでもう少し待つよう言われました。10分経過してさすがに心配になり、ホテルから2回電話していただき、45分経過後にようやく到着したのはシャトルバス車両。いったんそれに乗ってバスデポを出て、ホテル敷地内の別の場所でチャーター車に乗り換え、空港に向かいました。チャーター車の運転手が、集合場所を理解していなかったのでしょうか。
二度と利用したくありません。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

The sunlight is intense, but it's cold due to the strong wind! 日差しは強烈なのに強風で寒い!

Reviewed by: しーえぬ

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。

Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Dinner, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula Show

Phenomenal experience!

Reviewed by: Nicole

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!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Amazing!!

Reviewed by: Kusha

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!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Wonderful Insight Polynesian People

Reviewed by: Tricia M Oxford UK

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
