Polynesian Cultural Center ポリネシアンカルチャーセンター

Reviewed by: えるさ

Hello, I participated in this course on September 27th. It was the day my husband and I arrived in Hawaii. Since the meeting time was 12:20 PM, I thought we would have plenty of time, but the shuttle bus from the airport took a while to arrive, and there were some briefings. After that, my husband and I ran to the hotel and arrived right at 12:20 PM, feeling like we barely made it. It was a close call, but if we had done it on a different day, there wouldn't have been any issues. We participated in the deluxe tour in the afternoon. Our shuttle guide was a university student named Izutaro. He was surprisingly mature and humorous for a part-time university student, and he talked non-stop until we realized we had arrived at our destination. We were able to enjoy the trip without getting bored. Once we entered the Polynesian Cultural Center, there were many plants, and I felt like I was in Hawaii. The guides were Mamoru and Eri, also university students who were bright and friendly. It felt like a place similar to Disneyland in Japan. The hula dance experience was also fun. I felt like I got to see many different countries. The buffet meal was delicious. The best part was the show, which was truly amazing, just as the reviews said. It was the most memorable dance show of our trip to Hawaii. During the show, they served ice cream, and it was definitely an amount that was impossible to finish. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

こんにちは9月27日にこちらのコースに参加させて頂きました。私達夫婦が参加したのはハワイに到着した日でした。集合時間が12時20分だったので余裕で間に合うと思ったら空港から送迎バスもなかなか来ないし注意事項などの話もあってそのあと旦那と走ってホテルについたのが12時20分で生きた気がしませんでした。ぎりぎり間に合いましたが。到着日以外にすればもんだいはないです。私たちが参加したのは昼からデラックスです。送迎のガイドは大学生のイズ太郎さんでした。大学生のアルバイトとは思えないほどのしっかりしたユーモアのある人でずっとしゃべりぱなしで気がついたら目的地についてました。あきずに着くことができました。ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに入ると沢山の植物があってハワイに来たな~と感じました。ガイドはまもるさんとえりさんでした。こちらも大学生のアルバイトで明るくて良い方でした。日本でいうとディズニーランドみたいな所でした。フラダンス体験も楽しかったです。色んな国を沢山見れた気がしました。食事はバイキングでおいしかったです。一番良かったのショウでした。これは口コミ通り最高でした。今回のハワイで一番心に焼きつくダンスショウでした。ショウの間にアイスがでます。あれは絶対食べきれない量でした。楽しい思い出ありがとうございました。

I participated in this event in Honolulu for the first time with my mother. To be honest, I was worried that it might be physically demanding for her since she is over 60 years old, and I wondered if it would be too child-oriented. However, once we participated, all those worries completely vanished as it turned out to be an activity that adults can enjoy as well. The guide spoke Japanese for our group, making the explanations easy to understand, and there were quite a few older participants as well. They were attentive, asking things like, "Isn't it hot?" so we felt comfortable participating regardless of our age. There were also interactive events where audience members from various countries were invited on stage to play drums together. Even though we didn't share a common language, everyone created a lively atmosphere, and we had so much fun that we were laughing until our stomachs hurt, even with attractions conducted only in English. We experienced hula dancing as a group and rode canoes around Polynesian countries, which was completely different from the typical activities of visiting pavilions filled with mere souvenirs in Japan. I highly recommend participating at least once. The final show was truly spectacular. There were fire dances and circus-like performances, as well as traditional hula dancing. In the grand finale, 120 performers appeared on stage in an orderly fashion, creating a majestic and impressive scene that moved me deeply. It was as emotionally impactful as a full-fledged musical. If you're reading this and feeling uncertain, please feel assured and definitely participate at least once. You won't regret it!

今回初ホノルルの母と参加しました。正直60歳を過ぎた母には「体力的にキツイのではないか?」とか「子供向けだったらどうしよう?」とか心配しましたが、実際参加してみたところ、そんな心配は全く吹っ飛ぶような大人も楽しめるアクティビティーでした。ガイドさんは、日本人のグループには日本語が話せる人がつくので説明もよくわかるし、結構年配の人たちもたくさん参加しているので、「暑くないですか?」とかいろいろと気を配ってくれて、年齢に関係なく安心して参加できます。お客さん参加型のイベントもあり、観客の中からいろいろな国の人を舞台に上げて、一緒に太鼓をたたくのですが、言葉が通じて無くてもみんな雰囲気でその場を盛り上げてくれるので、英語だけのアトラクションでも、おなかをかかえて笑っちゃうほど楽しめました。グループみんなでフラダンスの体験をしたり、カヌーに乗ってポリネシアの国々を回ったり、日本にありがちな置物ばかりのパビリオンを回るようなアクティビティーとは全く違うものので、是非一度参加してみてください。そして最後のショーは、ほんとに圧巻でした。ファイヤーダンスやサーカスみたいな踊りがあったり、正統派フラダンスがあったり、最後のストーリー仕掛けのホライズンでは120人が舞台に整然と登場するので、勇壮で壮大な様には本当に感動しました。本格的なミュージカルと遜色ない感動をもらえます。今、迷いながら書き込みを読んでいる人は、安心して是非一度参加してみて下さい。絶対損はしないはずです!

This was my second visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and I had new discoveries that made it very enjoyable. The guide on the way there, despite being 70 years old, was very energetic and a great speaker, making the one-hour journey completely engaging. Once we arrived, I had a lot of fun experiencing various activities like riding a canoe, dancing the hula, and watching fire-making demonstrations. The meals were lavish and satisfying. The evening show was thrilling. I had a better seat than last time, and the hour and a half flew by. On the way back, I was completely exhausted and slept soundly on the bus, but I had a wonderful day overall.

ポリネシア文化センターに行くのは2回目でしたが、また新たな発見もあり、非常に楽しませてもらいました。
現地に向かう時のガイドさんも70歳という高齢ながらとても元気で話も上手で1時間の道のりも全く飽きなかったです。
現地についてからも、カヌーに乗ったり、フラを踊ったり、火おこしを見たりといろいろなことを体験できて本当に楽しかったです。
食事も豪勢で満足できました。
そして、夜のショーは迫力満点。前回より良い席で見れたこともあり、1時間半があっという間でした。
帰りは疲れきってバスの中でぐっすりでしたが、丸1日楽しく過ごせました。

Since I was traveling with my 80-year-old mother for her first trip to Hawaii, I was looking for options to fully enjoy Hawaii. I chose the Polynesian Cultural Center, which left me so moved and excited that I regretted not visiting earlier, especially since this was my tenth trip to Hawaii.

I personally participated for the second time without too many expectations, but I found different joys from my first visit and realized it’s a place that never gets boring no matter how many times you come.

My top recommendation is the "guided tour of the park" that visits the Samoan village. The chief is very humorous and skillfully switches between various languages, creating a great atmosphere. It’s an absolute must-see spot.

The second is the New Zealand village, where you can get tattoos printed on your face and arms for memorable photos to show off to your family back in Japan.

Additionally, the entertainment at the Tonga village and the hula dance experience in the Hawaiian village are also not to be missed. The evening Horizon Night Show is spectacular, making the three-hour round trip worthwhile just to see it. The final fire dance is a must-see.

We participated in the "All-Day Deluxe" package, so we had the best seats in the center, third row from the front, but every seat offers a great view and is sure to be moving. Whether it’s your first time in Hawaii or you’re a repeat visitor, I highly encourage you to participate and experience the excitement!

初ハワイの80歳の母を連れての旅行なので、ハワイを満喫できるオプションを探していました。
それで、去年ハワイ10回目の私が、「なぜ今まで行かなかったのだろう」と後悔するほど、感動して興奮してとっても楽しかったポリネシア文化センターを選択しました。
私自身は、2回目なのであまり期待をせずに参加したのですが、1回目とは違う楽しみがあり、何度来ても飽きない場所だと実感しました。
私が一番お奨めするのは、「ツアーガイドによる園内ツアー」で訪れるサモア村です。
酋長がとてもユーモラスで、各国の言語をムードたっぷりに使い分けるのです。
絶対外せないスポットです。
二番目は、ニュージーランド村です。
顔や腕にタトゥーをプリントして記念写真が撮れるので、日本に帰ってから家族に見せると自慢できますよ。
その他、トンガ村でのエンターテーメント、ハワイ村でのフラダンス体験などどれも見逃せません。
夜のホライズンナイトショーは圧巻で、これを見るだけでも往復3時間の移動が苦にならないほどです。
最後のファイヤーダンスは、必見です。
私たちは「昼から満喫、オールデイ・デラックス」で参加したので、前から3番目の中央の最高の席でしたが、どの席からも見やすく、感動できること間違いなしです。
ハワイが初めての方、リピーターの方どちらも是非、参加して感動してみてくださいね。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my father and mother. Since it was my parents' first time in Hawaii, I decided to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, which I had never been to before. The guide on the shuttle bus was an elderly gentleman, and he had us all laughing out loud with his incredibly funny stories. After arriving at the Polynesian Cultural Center, a Japanese-speaking guide showed us around the park, making it easy and enjoyable to learn about Hawaii's history. Everyone in the park was full of humor, and we had a great time laughing together. Laughter is truly universal.

I didn't have high expectations for the dinner buffet, but it turned out to be quite satisfying. The show after dinner was absolutely wonderful. There were interactions between the stage and the audience, creating a sense of unity in the venue. We returned to the hotel around 10 PM, feeling exhausted, but I would love to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii. I highly recommend it to everyone!

今回、父と母と一緒にハワイに行きました。
両親が初ハワイと言うことで、私も行ったことがないポリネシア文化センターに行くことに。
送迎バスのガイドさんがお年を召した方だったのですが、超おもしろトークでバス中大爆笑。
ポリネシア文化センター到着後も日本語堪能なガイドさんが園内を案内してくれて、ハワイの歴史などが分かりやすく楽しく体験することができました。園内の方々は、みんなユーモアに溢れていて、かなり笑えました。笑いは万国共通なんですね。
夕食のバイキングはあまり期待していなかったのですが、なかなか充実していて良かったですよ☆
夕食後のショーですが、とてもすばらしいものでした。舞台から観客への呼びかけなどもあり、会場が一体になる感じでした。
夜、ホテルに帰るのは22時ごろなので、くたくたですが、
またハワイへ行くときには行ってみたい所です。
みなさんもぜひ☆☆

Ali'i Luau experience☆ Ali'i Luau 体験☆

Reviewed by: honu

This is my second time in Hawaii, but since I didn't visit last time and I heard I could enjoy traditional cuisine and dances, I decided to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time!

The buildings and village scenes representing the seven island nations of Polynesia are recreated throughout the park, and we progress while listening to the detailed explanations from our guide. Along the way, when you greet the villagers in their local language, they respond with a smile♪

There are several types of tours available, but the Luau Workshop tour I participated in was packed with activities, including a canoe show featuring traditional music and dances from each island, a flower lei-making experience, a real hula experience, and a ukulele experience, along with the traditional Hawaiian cuisine and the Ali'i Luau, which includes singing and hula dancing. The buffet included chicken, salmon, and tuna, all well-seasoned and delicious.

And finally, the highlight of the Polynesian Cultural Center is the evening show, "Horizon"! The dances from each island and the fire performances were breathtaking, and time flew by.

Although you can't drink alcohol in the park and the evening show ends late, if you're staying in Waikiki, you might arrive at your hotel after 10 PM. Otherwise, I think it's a theme park where you can enjoy a day experiencing not only Hawaii but also other parts of Polynesia☆

ハワイは2度目ですが、前回行かなかったし伝統的なお料理やダンスが楽しめるということで、初めてポリネシアカルチャーセンターを訪問しました!


ポリネシアを代表する7つの島国の建物や村の様子が園内いっぱいに再現されていて、ガイドさんの詳しい説明を聞きながら進んでいきます。途中、所々で出会う村人に現地の言葉で挨拶をするとニッコリ返してくれますよ♪


何種類かツアーがありますが、今回参加したルアウ・ワークショップのツアーでは、各島の伝統的な音楽とダンスに魅せられるカヌーショーあり、生花を使ったレイ作り体験や本場のフラ体験にウクレレ体験あり、ハワイの伝統的なお料理と歌&フラダンスが楽しめるAli'i Luau(アリイルアウ)ありと、盛り沢山な内容です。お料理はチキンやサーモン、鮪などのバイキングで、味付けも良くどれも美味しく頂きました。


そして最後はポリネシアカルチャーセンターの最大の目玉でもある、イブニングショー『ホライズン』です!各島のダンスや火を使ったパフォーマンスなど、目を見張るものばかりであっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。


園内でお酒が飲めないことと、イブニングショーが終わる時間が遅いのでワイキキに滞在される方はホテル着が22時を過ぎてしまうことを除けば、ハワイ以外のポリネシアにも触れることのできる、1日楽しめちゃうテーマパークだと思います☆

The location is very clean and organized. We returned to the Polynesian Culter Center because of the fun and knowledge we came away with in our first trip there in 2006. We didn't get to view the complete park our first time do to its size. The weather was a chanllege this time and we saw less of the activites than before. Our tour guide was not up to all the knowledge needed to lead our group, she had been only a tour guide for three weeks. For the price and knowledge you wanted to gather fell far short.

The luau dinner was great and the final show was also a great performance! The effort the culter center puts out to make you feel at home, I would recommended it to anyone.

Reviewed by: gozira

This time, I participated with my family. We went to Honolulu for 4 nights and 6 days to fully enjoy it. We joined optional tours every day and saw the Polynesian show several times, but the nighttime show at the Polynesian Cultural Center was the best. The number of performers and the production were unparalleled. If you're going to see a show, I think you should join this tour.

I apologize, but the other shows seemed childish in comparison. We participated in the deluxe course this time, and the nighttime buffet (which is referred to as "buffet" locally) was also good. It wasn't just meat; there was plenty of seafood. The tuna sashimi was perfect for Japanese people. The shrimp was delicious too.

In the deluxe course, there was ice cream for sale during the show's intermission (for $5), but it came with a free ticket. It was filled with fruit and very satisfying. There was a lot of fruit in it, and it tasted great.

The nighttime show felt like watching a performance of The Lion King. (I've never actually seen The Lion King, so it's just my imagination, but it was quite an elaborate show and never got boring.)

Although it's located in the northern part, which takes over an hour to reach from Honolulu, there is a shuttle service, so you can go with peace of mind. The guide's explanations made it enjoyable.

There is a longer tunnel along the way, and if you can hold your breath, your wish will come true. Everyone was trying hard to hold their breath.

Until the show starts, you can explore the vast grounds with a Japanese-speaking guide. This time, it seems there is usually one guide per group, but we had two.

During the day, the shows performed by the artists on boats starting at 2:30 were quite impressive. If you go to Oahu, I think you should definitely participate.

The daytime shows in each village are in English, but our guide translated them into Japanese. Even without the Japanese translation, the atmosphere is conveyed, and you can enjoy it to some extent.

If you go to Oahu, please consider participating. I don't think you'll regret it. It's a recommended tour.

 今回は家族で参加しました。 
 ホノルルを満喫してやろうと、4泊6日でホノルルに行って来ました。
 毎日オプションツアーに参加をし、ポリネシアンショーを数回見ましたが、ポリネシアセンターの夜のショーはピカイチでした。
 何せ、演者の人数や、演出は他に類を見ませんでした。どうせ見るなら、このツアーに参加すべきだと思いました。
 申し訳ないが、他のショーは子供騙しに見えてしまいますよー。
 今回は、デラックスコースに参加しましたが、夜のバイキング(現地ではビュッフェと言いますが・・・)も良かったです。 肉ばかりでなく、シーフードが満載でした。 マグロの刺身なんぞ日本人には打って付けでしたよー。 海老も旨かったなー。
 デラックスコースには、ショーの休憩時間に、アイスの販売(5ドル)がありましたが、無料のチケットがついていました。 フルーツ入りで、ボリューム満点。 フルーツがたくさん入っていて旨かったよー。
 夜のショーは、ライオンキングの舞台を見ているようでした。(ライオンキングの舞台を実際みたことはなく、自分のイメージだけなんですが。 相当凝ったショーで飽きることがありませんでした)
 ホノルルからは、片道1時間以上かかる北部にありますが、送迎つきなので安心していけます。ガイドの案内もあり楽しめます。
 途中に長めのトンネルがあり、息を止めていられると願い事が叶うとか。 皆、頑張って息を止めていました。
 ショーの時間までは、日本語ガイドの案内で相当広い園内を見て回れます。 今回は、通常グループに1名のガイドらしいのですが、2名ついていただけましたよー。
 昼間は、2時半からの演者がボートに乗って繰り広げる各地のショーが見ごたえがありました。
 オアフに行ったら、是非参加すべきと思いました。
 昼間の各村のショーは、英語で喋っているのですが、うちのガイドさんは、日本語に訳してくれていました。
 日本語訳がなくても、雰囲気は伝わり、そこそこ楽しめますよー。
 是非、オアフに行くなら参加してみて下さいなー。損はしないと思います。 お勧めツアーです。

乗馬体験(0.5~2時間) 2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫!<ガンストック牧場/現地集合>

Even small children can ride horses. 小さな子供でも乗馬できます

Reviewed by: hide

I participated this time with three children aged 7, 5, and 3. I searched for various options to let the kids try horseback riding, but most places required participants to be over 10 years old. However, I found one that offered "Keiki (children) horseback riding" and decided to join.

At first, I thought they would be riding small ponies, but in reality, they rode regular horses. The three of them had some experience with ponies, but this was their first time on regular horses.

Two staff members from the ranch accompanied us with three horses, holding the reins as we enjoyed horseback riding for over 30 minutes across the vast ranch.

We didn't just go around in circles; we also climbed up a hill to see other horses in the pasture and even spotted a newborn foal, making for a fun time.

The kids seemed to have a great time and expressed their desire to ride again.

I understand that regular horseback riding tours are for ages 7 and up, so I would like to participate in a tour again in a few years.

Although Japanese is not spoken, I think participating itself is not an issue.

今回7才5才3才の3人の子供連れで参加しました。
子供たちに乗馬をさせてやりたいと色々と探しましたが、だいたいのところは10歳以上という中で唯一「ケイキ(子供)乗馬」というのを見つけて、参加しました。

最初はポニーのような小さい馬かなと思っていましたが、実際は普通の馬で、3人ともポニーは何度か経験がありましたが、普通の馬は初めてでした。

3頭の馬に牧場のスタッフが二人付いてくれて、手綱をもって広大な牧場を30分以上にわたって乗馬を楽しみました。

サークルの中をグルグル回るだけでなく、けっこう岡の上まで上って他の馬の放牧場を見たり生まれたばかりの子馬を見たりと楽しい時間でした。

子供たちもまた乗馬をしたいと、大変楽しかったようです。

普通の乗馬ツアーは7歳以上とのことでしたので、また数年後にツアーに参加したいと思います。

日本語は通じませんが、参加自体は問題ないと思います。

I have ridden most of the thrill rides in the country, but the excitement I felt during skydiving surpasses anything I've experienced in the past.
The "fear" at the moment of jumping from 4,000 meters, the "excitement" while falling, and the "view" after the parachute opens are beyond words.
Before you jump, you have to sign a waiver that means "everything is at your own risk," but if you have even 1% interest in skydiving, you should definitely try it. Even with 99% anxiety and fear, the friendly and skilled staff will make it enjoyable.
If you have a partner or friends, please do it together; I think it will create unforgettable memories.
Unfortunately, my partner was too scared to jump from a 5-meter cliff, so they ran away, and I couldn't share the excitement with them. Also, I was embarrassed by my face in the video recording.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to all the staff who took care of us and say, "Thank you!" and "Skydiving is the best!!!"

最高の体験でした。
 私は、国内の殆どの絶叫系ライドを乗っていますが、その時の興奮は過去のものであり、今後スカイダイビングで経験した「興奮」を上回るものはないと思います。
 上空4000メートルから、飛び出す瞬間の「恐怖」、落ちていく途中の「興奮」、パラシュートが開いた後の「景色」は、言葉では言い表せません。
 飛ぶ前に「全ては自己責任」という意味合いの「承諾書」にサインしないといけませんが、スカイダイビングに1%でも興味のある方は、是非やってください。99%の不安と恐怖があっても、優しくて優秀なスタッフが楽しませてくれます。
 カップルや友達がいる人は、是非一緒にやってください、一生の思い出作りになると思います。
 今回、残念だったのは、私の相方が5メートルの崖から飛び降りれないほどのビビリさんであったので、逃げ出してしまい、興奮を分かち合えなかった事とビデオ撮影して頂いた自分の顔があまりにイタかった事です。
 最後に、今回お世話になったスタッフの皆さんに「ありがとう」の言葉と「スカイダイビング最高!!!」の言葉を贈りたいです。

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

extremely unique and informative

Reviewed by: C. White

The whole evening was very imformative. From finding out that the very program itself helps educates our young to learning about other places around the world. I have no doubt that the program has and will continue to offer a very unique learning experience for those that are at BYU and to those that attend the Polynesian Cultural Center for entertainment. All the work that was put into the shows to make them both unique and entertaining comes out in every aspect of the center itself. As we will be living here for at least the next 3 years, when we have guests it will be one of the features of Oahu that I recommend.

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>

Laughter 大笑い

Reviewed by: MANA

I participated in the All Day Deluxe tour. It was a slightly larger group of about 20 people, but the voice of our international student guide, Mamoru, was clear, and I didn't feel too inconvenienced.

After watching the canoe show, we could do whatever we liked in the villages, but since it was my first time and I didn't know my way around, I was taken to recommended spots. We toured each village and got to experience hula, tattoos, poi balls, and even taste taro. The shows included a drumming performance from Tonga Village and a cooking show from Samoa Village, and I laughed so much that I cried. I highly recommend it!!!

The buffet featured delicious purple bread with taro. Since we only had about an hour, the food started to dwindle as the show time approached, so I think it's best to be quick in getting your food.

The show was powerful and wonderful! I could see the dancers' expressions clearly and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since I opted for the deluxe package, I thought our seats would be decent, but surprisingly, we were in the fourth row right in the center of the circular theater—an amazing spot! Thank you, Alan Wan, for the arrangements!!

If I had to mention something difficult, it seems we had to stop at a souvenir shop for about 45 minutes during the transfer, so if you don't need anything and have your own transportation, it might be better to meet on-site. Also, don't forget to confirm your reservation with a phone call after arriving in Hawaii! My hotel name wasn't communicated, and I wasn't on the pickup list.

If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go again and enjoy the villages I didn't get to see much of this time!!

オールデイデラックスで参加しました。
20名程度の少し多めのグループでしたが、留学生ガイドのマモルさんの声もよく通っていて、あまり不自由は感じませんでした。

カヌーショーを見た後は、好きな村で好きなことができますが、初めてで右も左も分からなかったので、おすすめに連れて行ってもらいました。各村を一通り巡り、フラ体験や刺青やポイボールやタロイモ試食などもできました。
ショーは、トンガ村の太鼓ショーとサモア村の料理ショーを見ることができましたが、笑いすぎて涙が出ました。おすすめです!!!

バイキングはタロイモの入った紫のパンが美味しかったです。時間が1時間程度しかなく、ショーの時間が迫ってくるとものも減ってくるので、てきぱきと持ってくると良いと思います。

ショーは迫力があって素晴らしいです!ダンサーのかたの表情もよく見え、満喫できました。
デラックスにしたので、席はまずまずの所だろうと思っていたのですが、何と円形劇場ど真ん中の前から4列目という最高の席でした!アランワンさん、お手配ありがとうございます!!

言いにくいことを挙げるなら、移動の際に45分程度お土産屋さんに寄らざるを得ないようなので、入用でなく交通手段のあるかたは現地集合のほうがよいかもしれません。
また、ハワイ入り後の予約再確認の電話をお忘れなく!私は宿泊ホテル名が伝わっておらず、ピックアップリストに載っていませんでした。

次回ハワイに来ることがあったらまたぜひ行って、今回あまり見られなかった村を楽しみたいです!!

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

If you've never seen wild sharks...

Reviewed by: Aaron

this is definitely the activity for you. The staff aboard the boat are very friendly and knowledgeable (thanks Jeremy and Phillip!), and there WILL be sharks. I've actually been on a dive with sharks without a cage, so this wasn't as breathtaking for me, but if you've never seen sharks in the wild, I highly recommend this activitiy.
