フラ・ガーデン(HULA GARDEN at Kahalu'u Pond By MICHEL'S)　ミッシェルズ監修の4コースディナー＆フラショー＜送迎可＞

You can enjoy a luxurious show and meal! 贅沢なショー＆食事が楽しめます♪

Reviewed by: ホヌホヌ

Despite the weak yen and high prices in Hawaii, I wanted to experience something unique that I wouldn't normally get to do, so I found this tour.

At the designated meeting point, we were greeted on time by a large black Mercedes (with five rows of seats in the back). Since it was evening, there was a bit of traffic, but we arrived at the location in about an hour. The gate opened automatically, and we drove further to the venue where we were welcomed. At this point, the sense of something special and anticipation was building.

There was about an hour before the show and dinner started, so we had the freedom to stroll through the beautifully maintained garden and enjoy temporary seal tattoos (which can be easily removed with water and rubbing, but they last a while, so you can enjoy the afterglow even after the tour). There were also traditional Hawaiian games available, but participation was not forced, and we chose to spend our time wandering around.

When the show began, we enjoyed live singing, hula, and fire dancing. I think there were about five to six hula songs alone. At one point, there was an opportunity for those interested to take a simple hula lesson and dance together. On the day we participated, there happened to be a local group joining us (I later heard this is rare), and almost everyone enjoyed it. I think those who are willing to try things they don't usually do will have the most fun.

The fire dancing after dark was truly impressive.

As for the meal, it was delicious, as expected from Michel's supervision. The appetizers and salad were particularly moving. The main course was very filling, but I thought it would be better to reduce the amount of meat and enjoy it with sauce (I also wanted to try it with salt and pepper).

Time flew by, and after about two hours from the start of the meal, it was time to head home. On the way back, perhaps due to the lack of traffic, we arrived in just a little over 30 minutes.

Overall, I was very satisfied; I think this is a valuable tour that you can't experience around Waikiki.

円安&物価高のハワイですが、どうせなら普段体験できないことを！ということでこちらのツアーにたどり着きました。

指定の集合場所に、黒い大きなベンツ（後部シートが5列もあった）で時間通りにお出迎え。夕方の時間なので少し渋滞しますが、1時間ほどで現地到着。門扉が自動で開き、建物までさらに車で進み、会場でお出迎えを受けます。この時点で特別感＆期待感が高まります。
ショー&食事の開始まで1時間ほどあり、きれいに手入れされた庭の散策、シールタトゥ（濡らして擦れば取れるので安心、でもシャワーくらいではすぐにはは取れないので、ツアー後もしばらく余韻が楽しめます）など、自由に選んで過ごします。ハワイ伝統ゲームもありましたが、強制されるでもなく、私たちは散策で過ごしました。

ショーが始まると、生歌＆フラ、ファイヤーダンスが沢山楽しめます。フラだけでも5-6曲あったと思います。
途中、希望者で簡単なフラレッスン＆一緒に踊る機会もあり、私たちの参加日はたまたまローカルの団体さんも一緒だった（後で聞きましたが、珍しいそうです）のもあり、ほぼ全員で楽しみました。せっかくだから、普段やらないことにもチャレンジできる方の方が楽しめると思います。
暗くなってからのファイヤーダンスも圧巻です。

お食事は、さすがはミッシェルズ監修、とてもおいしかったです。特に前菜とサラダは感動もの。メインはボリューム満点ですが、お肉の量を減らしてソースを付けながら（塩コショウでも食べたかった）の方がいいなと思いました。

あっという間に時間が過ぎ、食事開始から2時間ほどで帰宅の時間に。帰りは渋滞無いせいか、30分ちょっとで到着しました。

総じて大満足、ワイキキ周辺では体験できない貴重なツアーだと思います。

Aside from the hula and the food, it was disappointing (>_<) フラと食事以外、期待外れでした(>_<)

Reviewed by: Hawaiiのリピーター

The person who picked us up was very gentlemanly, which made me excited, but one other group of participants did not arrive at the pickup location, and since we got there five minutes early, we ended up waiting over 15 minutes to depart. This isn't the organizer's fault, but it gave me a bad feeling from the start... and the van we were in was quite noisy.

When we arrived, we were guided to an outdoor area with nothing around, just some simple chairs and tables set up. I believe the venue is an important element of dinner experiences.

We were told to "enjoy the activities" while waiting for the meal, but there were no exciting activities, just taking photos, and we ended up with too much free time. Wouldn't it be better to set the pickup for a later time?

As soon as we arrived, my friend got bitten by a mosquito. When we spoke to the staff, they mentioned that there are many mosquitoes in the area. It would have been better if they had announced this upon arrival, even though insect repellent spray was provided.

The hula show was enjoyable, and I was satisfied with the meal, but when it comes to whether I would repeat this or recommend it to friends, unfortunately, the answer is "NO." For this price, I believe there are better options near Waikiki.

I have given a critical review, but I hope that various aspects can be improved so that it becomes a tour I would want to participate in again (*^^*).

お迎えの方はとても紳士的だったのでワクワクしたのですが、ピックアップ場所でもう1組の参加者が来られず、私たちはピックアップの5分前に到着していたので、結局15分以上出発を待つことになりました。これは主催者側の問題ではないですが、出足から嫌な予感…そしてお迎えの車(バン)の中は、ガタガタとうるさかったです。
到着して案内されたところは、何にもない野外で、簡易な椅子とテーブルが並べられたところでしたが、施設もディナーの大切な要素だと思います。
食事までの時間は「アクティビティを楽しんでください」とのことでしたが、心躍るアクティビティはなく、写真を撮って終わり、時間を持て余してしまいました。ピックアップをもっと遅めの時間で設定された方が良いのでは？
到着後すぐに友達は蚊に刺されてしまいました。スタッフさんに話すと「この辺は蚊が多い」とのこと。虫除けスプレーも用意されていましたが、到着した時点でアナウンスされた方が良いのではないでしょうか。
フラショーは楽しく食事とともに満足でしたが、リピートあるいは友達に紹介するかといえば残念ながら、「ＮＯ」です。このお値段でこの内容であれば、ワイキキ近くでももっと満足できるお店があると思いました。
辛口の評価になりましたが、いろんなところが改善されて「また参加したい」というツアーになることを期待しています(*^^*)

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Never Again

Reviewed by: Ky

We purchased this mainly so my aging mother could see the sunset over the water and experience some of the culture and history of Hawaii. There was was zero direction from any of the employees, we didn’t know where to go. This was advertised as a place to see the sunset while watching the luau. You can’t see the sunset because they put the stage right in between you and the view. And while we could have walked to the water while the sun was setting, this was the same time they told us to go to the buffet to get food. Glad we did because as soon as the last person sat down they cleared it out. The food left much to be desired, as did the drinks. There was very little culture, it almost felt like a parody and a tourist trap. I’ve been to other luaus that were so much better. We left early and I tried to give my drink cards away as they were unused, and NO ONE would take them, it was that bad. This whole island is this way. There is no longer any Polynesian culture, or none that we witnessed. This island has been given away. So sad for a place with such an amazing history. Go to Maui.

Warm hospitality from a small group. 少人数による温もりのあるおもてなし

Reviewed by: えび

The male driver holding a sign that said "HULA GARDEN" was at the meeting point, making it easy to find him. When we arrived at the venue, a hula girl welcomed us by placing a shell lei around our necks. After that, we played some games and received an explanation about the drink tickets from the Japanese staff, followed by an opening performance of hula and guitar. I had the impression that there would be several hula girls and performers, but throughout the event, there were only two hula girls, one guitarist and singer, and one fire dancer, totaling four performers who presented various performances. The hula girls changed their costumes frequently, so it was never boring. Since there were only six participants and a small number of guests, we were close to the performers, which made for a richer experience. There was also a hula dance experience, which was challenging but incredibly fun.

お迎えはHULA GARDENと書かれたプラカードを持った男性運転手の方が集合場所にいらっしゃったのでわかりやすかったです。
会場に到着すると、貝殻でできたレイをフラガールの方が首にかけて歓迎してくださいました。
それから少しゲーム等をしたり日本人スタッフの方からドリンクチケットの説明を受けたりしてからフラとギターのオープニングパフォーマンスがありました。勝手な印象で何人ものフラガールやパフォーマーの方たちが出演されるものかと思っていましたが、この日の最初から最後までフラガール2人、ギターと歌1人、ファイヤーダンス1人の計4人の方たちだけで色々なパフォーマンスをしてくださいました。フラガールの方たちは何時も衣装を変えてくださったので全く飽きることはありませんでした。
私たち参加者は計6人でゲストも少人数だった為、パフォーマーの方たちとの距離も近くてより濃い体験となりました。
フラダンス体験もあり、難しいながらもすごく楽しかったです。

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

I highly recommend it!! おすすめです！！

Reviewed by: sai

Since our plan was for the afternoon, we didn't participate in any activities and enjoyed shopping and the buffet until showtime. There were many items made in Hawaii, so I felt like I was contributing to the local community.

The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food, and I was very satisfied. There were also poke and dessert bars. Even if you choose a plan without the buffet, there are cafes and restaurants on the premises.

The show featured Polynesian dances that followed a storyline, and it was powerful and captivating. I was moved by the haka from rugby! The narration was in English, but the main language was local, so I could understand enough to stay engaged. Photography and video recording during the show are prohibited.

午後からのプランでしたのでアクティビティに参加せず、ショーの時間までショッピングやビュッフェを楽しみました。ショッピングもメイドインハワイのものが多くあったので地元に貢献できるかと思います。

ビュッフェは種類も多く味もとても美味しくて大満足です。ポケバーやデザートバーも揃っています。もしビュッフェなしのプランでも敷地内にカフェやレストランがあります。

ショーはストーリーにそったポリネシアンのダンスなのですが、迫力があり見応えがあります。ラグビーのハカだ！と感動しました。基本は現地語でナレーションは英語です。なんとなく伝わるので見ていて飽きませんでした。ショーの写真や動画撮影は禁止となります。

A fantastic location for a flower show and course meal. 素晴らしいロケーションでの　フラショー＆コース料理

Reviewed by: さかな

In the evening, I left the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and was guided to a private garden overlooking Kaneohe Bay by a welcoming car. As the gate opened, a breathtaking view unfolded before me: a sea landscape with palm trees and the small island of Chinaman's Hat floating across the lagoon, and behind it, a divine sight where clouds and light intersected on the layered mountain slopes, like a dream.

In one corner of the vast property, a small open-air venue was set up, allowing us to stroll through the garden and learn about traditional games until dinner began, providing a leisurely and luxurious experience. The sense of privacy, unlike that of conventional large venues, made me feel as if I had been invited into someone's home.

Dinner was served amidst the flowing sounds of strings and pleasant live vocals. We could enjoy drinks freely with two tickets, and without any language barriers, beautiful dishes were served leisurely, making the two-hour dinner feel surprisingly short. The meal, from appetizers to salads and then the main course, exceeded all expectations in deliciousness, and I regretted leaving any behind. Next time, I thought I should skip lunch before coming. The meat cut effortlessly with a knife, and the salad dressing was wonderful.

The changing scenery of the evening was beautifully complemented by elegant hula dancing, truly a dreamlike Hawaii. As the sun set, the intensity of the fire dance was thrillingly close. Memories that could not be gained just from Waikiki were vividly added. I felt a bittersweet longing, recalling my late mother and the times we came to Hawaii; I wished I could have brought her here. The photos taken with the dancers at the end (not an extra charge!) will surely become treasures for many families looking back.

Thank you to the staff who created a memorable night that transcended the concept of an optional tour, and for your kind consideration.

夕刻にワイキキの喧騒を離れ、迎えの車でカネオヘ湾を臨むプライベートガーデンに案内されました。
門が開くと眼前にはラグーン越しに、ヤシの木とチャイナマンズハットの小島が浮かぶ海の風景が広がり、背後には幾重にも重なる山肌に雲と光が交差する神々しい光景が、夢のようで。
その広大な敷地の一角に、オープンエアーの小ぶりな会場がセットされていて、食事開始まで庭を散策したり、伝統的な遊びを紹介していただき、ゆったりとした贅沢な時間を過ごしました。
従来の大規模な会場では得られないプライベート感が、個人宅に招かれたような気持ちにさせてくれました。
流れる弦の音と心地よい声の生演奏の中、お食事がサーブされます。飲みものも2杯のチケットで自由にいただけ、言葉の心配もなく、美しい料理がゆったり運ばれ2時間の夕食が逆に短く思えた程です。
お食事は、前菜からサラダ、そしてメインへと予想を遥かに超える美味しさに、残すのが不本意で、次回はお昼は抜きにして来るべきと。お肉がナイフを入れるとスッと切れ、サラダのドレッシングがまた素晴らしく。
そして夕刻の変わりゆく風景にフラダンスが優雅に大変美しく、まさに夢に見るハワイ。日が沈むとファイヤーダンスの至近距離にハラハラする程の迫力。ワイキキだけでは得られなかった思い出が色濃く加わりました。
もう亡くなってしまった母と昔来たハワイ、ここに連れてきてあげたかったなと切なく思い返していました。最後にダンサーの皆様と撮って頂いた写真（別料金ではありません！）が、振り返れば宝物になるご家族多いと思います。
オプショナルツアーという概念を超える、思い出に残る一夜を演出して頂いたスタッフの皆様、優しいお心遣いありがとうございました。

Good experience

Reviewed by: Pedro

The experience was good. The place is really amazing. The performances were very nice before, during and afte dinner. The activities before dinner were just good because there were so many people in some of them. Dinner was so so. Not many options, just one dish (you can´t put food twice) and we booked for vegetatian options and there was no veggie protein et all. In summary, good experience and bad dinner according to the high price.

My first Polynesian show. 生まれて初のポリネシアンショー

Reviewed by: グク1

We participated in a course that departed from Waikiki at 2:30 PM. On the way there, it was just the guide and the two of us, and we were able to freely ask the guide about life in Hawaii, which was really enjoyable!

After arriving, I heard that we couldn't do any activities, but we could enter the village. However, we were disappointed to be told at the gate of the inner village that we couldn't enter. There were only a few souvenir shops at the front, so we ended up with some free time.

The buffet was surprising with its volume and variety. For Japanese people, a regular restaurant might be enough. The Polynesian show was incredibly moving, just as rumored, and it was very good!

私達は午後14時半、ワイキキ出発のコースで参加しました。行きはガイドさんと私達2人のみで、自由に気兼ねなくガイドさんハワイライフを伺い、すごく楽しかったです♪
到着後、アクティビティはできないけど、村の中に入れると聞きましたが、奥の村のゲートで入場できないと言われガッカリでした。手前の土産物屋は少ししかなくて、時間を持て余しました。
バイキング料理は、ボリューム、種類が多すぎて驚きました。日本人は普通の飲食店ので十分かも。ポリネシアショーは、うわさどおり大感動、とても良かった！

After about a 30-minute ride in a comfortable black car, we arrived. I was surprised by the large, charming gate and delighted by the beautiful scenery from there. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a shell lei from a lovely hula girl. While waiting for dinner, we enjoyed cultural activities like making tattoo stickers and leaf bracelets, and the Japanese staff took photos and explained the location, allowing us to relax with drinks until dinner. The view from the venue was stunning, with beautiful mountains and ocean, which was truly moving. The food was delicious, though the portions might be a bit large for women, but overall it was very satisfying. The show featured several songs performed live by dancers, and we were able to enjoy a spectacular fire show at the end in a cozy atmosphere. The speed of the food service and the flow of the show were very pleasant. It seemed like a comfortable place for families with children or group reservations! There were many mosquitoes, so caution is needed, but I appreciated that the staff provided spray and insect repellent. I highly recommend this dinner show! ^_^

While waiting at the meeting point, a black Benz arrived about 5 minutes late to pick me up. I was a bit anxious since there was no specific guidance from the driver, but when I showed the reservation screen, they instructed me to get in the car, and we safely arrived at the venue. (I wish the driver had been a bit friendlier… haha.)

Once we arrived at the venue, we had about 30 minutes to spare before it started, so we spent the time playing with tattoo stickers and Hawaiian games. The hula show and dinner began at 6 PM, and I enjoyed delicious food and drinks while watching the beautiful hula and fire shows. The venue was quiet with nothing around, giving it a private feel.

I felt it was a good decision to book this, as it had a more relaxed atmosphere compared to the hula shows at shopping centers or in the heart of Waikiki, allowing us to enjoy it at a leisurely pace.

集合場所で待っていると、5分遅れくらいで、黒のベンツで迎えに来てくれました。運転手から特に案内がなく、この車で合っているか不安でしたが、予約画面見せたら車乗るよう指示してくれて、無事会場に着きました。(もう少し愛想ある方だったらよかったなぁと…笑)
会場着いてからは、始まるまで30分くらい時間があり、タトゥーシールやハワイのゲームなどして過ごしました。18時からフラショーとディナーが始まり、素敵なフラやファイヤーショーを見ながら、美味しいご飯とお酒を楽しみました。会場は、周りに何もなく静かで、貸切感がありました。

I had a wonderful dinner at Michel's before, so I tried to make a reservation again this time, but it was fully booked. While looking for options for our last dinner in Waikiki, I found this tour. I’m excited to hear that it’s a place used for wedding receptions. The meeting point was easy to find, so we didn’t have to go around to different hotels, making for a smooth transfer. Everyone was dressed up a bit in aloha shirts and dresses.

From the car window, we enjoyed views from the city to the highway and residential areas. While waiting for our meal to be served, which took about an hour, we strolled through the garden, made ti leaf bracelets, got traditional design tattoo stickers, and played some simple games... It was great to spend time leisurely. Since it was a private garden, we felt safe with no one else around except for the tour participants.

It was nice that we received two drink tickets. We could order drinks as soon as we arrived, and having a beer while looking at the garden and water in the evening was the best! There were several options for beer, wine, and other drinks. The meal prepared by the chef from Michel's was delicious, and I reminisced with my husband about our previous experience at Michel's, saying, "Yes, this Caesar salad! This steak sauce!" Both the shrimp and meat were satisfying, giving a more elevated impression compared to the typical barbecue or local cuisine often found on tours. As expected from Watabe Wedding.

Throughout the meal, there was live music, and we enjoyed watching various hula dances while taking in the scenery transitioning from evening to night. With only 14 participants, this hospitality felt luxurious. The show ended with an impressive fire dance and a short hula lesson, filling both our stomachs and hearts. I was a bit anxious because Japanese people don’t seem to know how to cheer during shows, and I thought it would be easier for the performers if there were more clapping and applause, but after all, there were only 14 of us (laughs).

The guide and the staff who served our meals spoke Japanese, which was great. The guide even took individual photos and explained the place, and I was happy they were able to assist despite being busy. I’m considering joining again next time with my elderly parents. Thank you very much!

ショーの最後は迫力のファイヤーダンスとフラのショートレッスンもついていて、お腹も心も満たされました。
日本人はショーの盛り上げ方が分からなくて、本当はもっと手拍子や拍手があったほうが演者さんが演りやすいんじゃないかなーとハラハラしたりしましたが、何しろ14人ですからね(笑)
案内の方始め、お食事のサーブをしてくれたスタッフさんは日本語が通じるので、その点も良かった。特に案内の方は個別に写真を取ってくれたり、場所の説明をしてくれたりとお忙しいのに対応してもらえて嬉しかったです。
次回は高齢の両親と参加してもいいかもと思っています

Unless we go to Polynesian Cultural Center, we have found Paradise Cove to be the best! Over the years, it has gotten quite a bit more expensive, and does less than it used to (welcome picture with dancers), but is still a great show, great property, and really good food. The imu ceremony is as good as you'll get anywhere on the island.

The admission ticket for Sea Life Park was valid for three days, so I enjoyed the aquarium the day before the Luau show and took my time to watch the show on the day itself. Many people were wearing aloha shirts and dresses, and it felt like everyone was looking forward to the show. There were almost no Japanese tourists, so it was great to enjoy the show in an international atmosphere. And the food was very delicious! I participated in all the activities prepared before the show, so I never felt like I had too much free time. Above all, the performance at the end of the Luau show, where they spun the flaming blades at high speed, was breathtaking!

フラ・ガーデン(HULA GARDEN at Kahalu'u Pond By MICHEL'S)　ミッシェルズ監修の4コースディナー＆フラショー＜送迎可＞

It was fun! 楽しかった〜

Reviewed by: yu-さん

The day we visited, it was a private event. In a homely atmosphere, time passed without boredom as we enjoyed hula and fire dancing. I have experienced several dinner shows while watching hula, but this was the best, with delicious food and a luxurious time. The transportation to Kaneohe was also considerate, allowing us to relax without worry. The staff who spoke Japanese were kind and helped to uplift our spirits. Thank you very much. I highly recommend it.

私たちが、利用した日は、貸切状態でした。
アットホームな、雰囲気の中、フラや、ファイヤーダンスなど、飽きることなく時間がすぎました。
フラなどを見ながらのディナーショーは、いくつか体験させていただきましたが、1番、食事が美味しく、贅沢な時間でした。
カネオヘまでの、送迎も、色々気遣いしていただき、安心して過ごせました。日本語が、話せる方も、親切で、私たちを、盛り上げてくださいました。ありがとうございました。
是非、おすすめします。

フラ・ガーデン(HULA GARDEN at Kahalu'u Pond By MICHEL'S)　ミッシェルズ監修の4コースディナー＆フラショー＜送迎可＞

Great cost performance, a calm atmosphere, delicious food, and the opportunity to enjoy authentic hula in a friendly setting. コスパよし、落ち着いた雰囲気で美味しい食事とフレンドリーに本格フラを楽しめる

When I arrived at the meeting point on time, a gentlemanly driver greeted me. He was attentive to the temperature inside the car, which made me feel comfortable during the ride. The driver also introduced famous places along the route, making the long journey feel quick.

The venue is a private garden along the Kailua pond, which also has a chapel where weddings are held. Unlike Waikiki, it has a calm atmosphere surrounded by nature. The dining area is outdoors with a roof, and the breeze is pleasant.

The staff were friendly, and I felt reassured that they spoke Japanese. Before the meal started, there were activities like making grass bracelets, applying tattoo stickers on our arms, and games that children in Hawaii enjoy, so families with kids can have a fun time until the meal is served.

The food is supervised by Michel's, so there's no doubt about its quality. Drinks include two cups of beer or soft drinks, and one cocktail, which is a nice bonus.

While luaus often feature buffet-style dining, this one served a course meal, allowing us to enjoy the hula while leisurely savoring our food. The Caesar salad tasted just like the one I had at Michel's, with a great dressing.

The main course included steak, garlic shrimp, and abalone, all of which were delicious. The dessert was decent.

You can enjoy the hula right in front of your seat, making it a great recommendation for those who want to experience hula up close. There was also a fire knife performance, and this time, children who have won awards showcased impressive performances.

It was a luxurious time spent enjoying hula and dining in a relaxed atmosphere, quite different from the bustling Waikiki. I would love to use this service again.

定刻に集合場所に行くと、紳士的な運転手の方が対応してくれた。車内の温度も気にかけてもらい、安心して乗ることができた。通る道の有名な場所も紹介してくれるので長い道のりもあっという間だった。
会場はカイルアの池沿いにあるプライベートガーデン。チャペルもあり結婚式も行うところらしい。ワイキキとは違い自然に囲まれた落ち着いた雰囲気。食事の場所は屋根付きの屋外で風が心地いい。
お店の人はフレンドリーで、日本語も通じて安心した。
食事が始まる前に、草のブレスレットのメイキング体験やタトゥシールを腕につけれたり、ハワイの子供が楽しむゲームができたり、子連れも食事まで飽きずに過ごすことができると思う。
食事はミッシェルズが監修してるので、間違いなし。
ドリンクもビールやソフトドリンクは2杯、カクテルなら1杯ついている。ドリンク付きなのもうれしい。
フラのルアウとなると、ビュッフェ形式が多いが、コースで出してくれるのでフラを楽しみながらゆったりと食事も楽しめる。
シーザーサラダもミッシェルズで食べた時の味
でドレッシングがいい感じ。
メインはステーキにガーリックシュリンプにアワビも出てきてうまかった。
デザートはぼちぼち。
フラも席の目の前で鑑賞できるので、フラを近くで楽しみたい人はオススメ。ファイヤーナイフもあり、今回は賞を受賞したこともある子供たちが迫力ある演技を披露してくれた。
ガヤガヤしたワイキキとは違うゆったりとフラと食事を楽しめて贅沢な時間を過ごせた。また利用したい。

ポリネシア カルチャー センター　ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー！ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン＜送迎付きプランあり＞

It might not be good to go in the afternoon... 午後から行くのはダメかも…

Reviewed by: がんとも

This was my second time.
The pick-up bus was about 10 minutes late, and the vehicle was small and cramped. The guide made excuses, saying, "There was an accident..." but the driving was rough until we arrived at Polynesian, and the guide (driver) seemed to get lost, which made me very anxious.
After arriving at the site, the guide walked ahead quickly, gave a brief explanation, and then dispersed us. It was really a haphazard tour.
The show was good, but I was dissatisfied because I couldn't explore any other areas at all...
We also visited a nearby building that made no sense for free... (I don't really understand the connection...)
It would be great if we could explore other areas in the afternoon as well.
Anyway, I thought the show was better than last time!

今回２回目です。
お迎えのバス(小)が約10分遅刻。且つ車は小さくて狭い。「アクシデントがあったので…」とガイドは言い訳をしていたが、ポリネシアンに着くまで運転は荒く、道を間違えるようなガイド(運転手)だったので、非常に不安でした。
現地到着後もガイドは一人でどんどん歩いていき、さっさっと説明し解散。本当に雑な案内でした。
ショーは良かったのですが、それ以外のエリアの見学が全く出来ず不満です…
また無料案内で近くの意味のわからない建物
の見学をしました…(よく関係がわかりません…)
午後からの見学でも他のエリアの見学が出来ると最高ですね
とにかくショーは前回よりも良いと思いました‼️

The entertainment was superb!!! The food, however, was cold, undercooked, and no flavor. I do understand the institutional food prep, but it could have been better.

Fun, Fire, and Flare

Reviewed by: Daniel Hunt

This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.

I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.
