Polynesian Cultural Center Members-Only Monitor Tour Twilight Deluxe Departing in the Evening ポリネシア文化センター　会員限定モニターツアー　夕方発トワイライトデラックス

Reviewed by: miyuchi

★The Long-Awaited Polynesian Cultural Center★
I used to learn Tahitian dance and practiced the more intense Otea dance, so I really wanted to see a show in its original setting! This time, with limited time, I thought I could go if it was just an evening show, so I signed up for the "Twilight Deluxe," which includes a buffet dinner and evening show. I highly recommend the transportation service! This is because you get to hear a lot of interesting trivia! The bus guide was a student from the university next to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This time, it was the youngest Japanese person. Since the sales from the Polynesian Cultural Center go towards scholarships for that university, many of the waitstaff in the buffet area and the guides were students as well. Everyone was friendly, and it was fun to interact with people from various countries!
Oh, and on the bus, we learned about the meaning of "Aloha," various movie locations, the Tunnel of Happiness, Turtle Island, the Rainbow Sea, etc. I think the content may vary depending on the guide, but I gained a lot of knowledge about Hawaii!
Then we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center! First, we had a buffet-style meal. Depending on the course, the venue is divided into two areas. Since we had the deluxe option, there was also luxurious beef. There were dishes made with taro and Hawaiian-style food, and the desserts were colorful and beautiful, which really boosted my spirits.
We had free time until the show. If you finish your meal quickly, you can also go shopping! And!! The show was incredibly powerful from the third row! Since we were on the aisle, the performers came and went right by us. I could feel the breeze on my skin. The show was like a musical with a storyline, and it was interesting. The music was performed by a live band!!! The natural night glow enhanced the overall effect.
Despite it being a weekday, the venue, which accommodates 3,000 people, was full! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and I found myself saying "It's hot!" while watching! They really do amazing things like grabbing and spinning fire! There was a break of about five minutes. The deluxe course includes ice cream, which others can also purchase. The bus guide recommended going to the restroom during the break, but since it was a short time, the show started before I finished my ice cream. I recommend going after the show so you don’t miss any part of the story.
The stunning and moving show ended, and we took pictures with the performers on stage. We were able to take commemorative photos with the world’s best fire dancer and the lead performer. It's definitely not a cheap course, but it was more than satisfying and moving! Next time, I definitely want to go in the morning and check out other attractions and facilities as well.

★念願のポリネシアン文化センター★
私は以前タヒチアンダンスを習っていて、激しい方のオテアダンスをやっていた事もあり、
是非！本場でショーを観たいと思っていました。
そして今回時間のない中、夜だけのショーなら見に行ける♪と、「ビュッフェディナー&イブニングショー」がセットの「トワイライトデラックス」を申し込みました♪
送迎込みがお勧めです♪
何故なら、豆知識が沢山沢山聞けるからです！
バスガイドさんはポリネシアン文化センターの隣にある大学の学生さん。
今回は一番若い日本人の方でした。
ポリネシアン文化センターの売上がその大学の奨学金にあてられている為、ブッフェコーナーのウェイトレスさんも会場の誘導係も学生さんが沢山☆皆、親切で色々な国の方が居るので交流が楽しかったです♪
そうそう！バスの中では「Aloha」の意味や色々な映画の舞台紹介、幸せのトンネル、亀島、レインボーの海etc...
ガイドさんによっても内容は変わってくるかと思いますが、盛り沢山にハワイの豆知識が増えました♪
そして、ポリネシアン文化センター着☆
先ずブッフェスタイルのお食事。コースにより二手の会場に別れます。私達はデラックスだったので豪華なビーフも有りました。タロイモ使った料理やハワイらしい物、デザートはカラフルで綺麗で、テンション上がりました。
ショーまでの時間はフリー。食事を早く終わらせればお買い物も出来ます♪
そして！！ショーは前から3列目で大迫力！！通路側でしたので横からも演者さんが行ったり来たり。風も肌で感じられました。ミュージカル仕立てのショーでストーリーがあって面白いです。
音楽は生バンド！！！
自然の夜光が更に演出効果をUPさせてくれます。
平日なのにもかかわらず3000人収容の会場は満席！
ファイヤーダンス見るのが初めてで観ている私が「熱い」って言ってしまう程！火を掴んだり回したり本当に凄いです！！
途中5分位の休憩が。
デラックスコースにはアイスがついています。他のコースの方も購入可。
バスガイドさんは休憩時にトイレがオススメと言われましたが、短い時間なのでアイス食べ終わる前にショーが始まりました。
休憩時に行ってストーリー始まってしまっては勿体無いので終わってから行く事をお勧めします。
圧巻&感動のショーが終わり、ステージ上で演者さんと写真を撮りました。
私達はファイヤーダンスの世界一の方と主演の方と一緒に記念撮影が出来ました。
決して安いコースでは有りませんが、それ以上に満足が出来て感動します！
次回は是非、朝から行って他のアトラクションや施設も観てみたいと思います。

Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides - North Shore Horseback Riding Sunset Tour

Must do!

Reviewed by: Alyssa M

This was our family's first time visiting oahu and the ocean front horse back ride was by far our most favorite and memorable experience. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and the horses are very well cared for (my horse Ike is a retired polo pony). We even had the pleasure of a hawaiian pig named 'wilma' that thinks she's a horse escort our ride. We went on the sunset tour and the landscape is unlike anywhere I have ever seen, so peaceful and breathtaking. Would highly recommend this activity to other families, friends and couples!

CLIMB Works Keana Farms - Oahu Zipline Tour with 8 Lines, ATV Ride, Rappel, Skybridge Course

Keana Farms! Must Do!

Reviewed by: BeachBoy

From the start til the end, it was a non-stop adventure. 3 guides were with us, and we all had a blast! The ATV ride around the farm to get to the platform was fun and educational. They showed us different tropical plants like guava, mango, papaya, banana and so much more. The zipline and the view was just spectacular. I could do it again and again. They even had a rope climbing machine, and my arm is still sore from it! Overall, this was excellent and worth every penny. If you go to the North Shore, you need to put it in your bucket list. Highly recommended!

A perfect day!

Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy)

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!

Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.

It’s hard to believe this is a student part-time job! 学生アルバイトとは到底思えない！

Reviewed by: パパさん

I don't remember feeling that much excitement when I visited a long time ago. However, this time, I was extremely satisfied and deeply moved! The students from Brigham Young University, just a five-minute walk away, worked hard to provide guiding services and dance shows, making it a fun theme park that rivals professional levels. There were plenty of attractions, and the children were having a great time playing. I think it's a place that's enjoyable for both elementary school students and adults.

大昔に行った時には、それほどの感動を覚えた記憶がありません。しかし、今回は、大満足！大感動！でした。歩いて5分のブリンガムヤング大学の学生たちが一生懸命にガイドやダンスショーをしてくれていて、プロと遜色ないレベルの楽しいテーマパークでした。アトラクションもたくさんあり、子供たちも大喜びで遊んでいました。小学生でも、大人でもとっても楽しいところだと思います。

Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides - North Shore Horseback Riding Sunset Tour

A Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Heidi and Sarah

My sister and I have some experince riding horses and were very excited after booking this excursion. When we arrived, it was clear that the horses were well taken care of. The guides, Sarah and Gina, were amazing!! They were very alert and attentive to those who had never ridden before, were informative about the island, answered all of our questions and they were sure to get us to the sunset view in time. Safety was a first priority and Sarah and Gina were very aware of taking great pictures of all of us. The only suggestion I have is that booking this excursion requires a car. We took the bus to the last stop on the route then had to walk three miles to the polo club which was fine on the way in but we had to hitch a ride on the way back because it was after dark and we were not comfortable walking back to the bus stop.

Could not have been better; we specifically chose this shark encounter since they book fewer people on the boat and it was just what I had in mind. We had 10 total on the boat. The captain and mate were both knowledgeable and professional but definitely made it fun. Took a few extra minutes to show us the whales also. Highly recommend these guys.

Circle Island Tour, Polynesain Cultural Center, dinner & show on Motorcoach/Amb Alii Luau with Guide

Reviewed by: Stella Martin YT Cda

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

I visit every year. 毎年訪れてます

Reviewed by: ピッピ

It's a bit far from Waikiki, but the experience can vary depending on the guide. If you have a good guide, you can hear various stories and enjoy sightseeing from the car window. I always opt for the more expensive meals, and they're not bad. The show is enjoyable even if you know what to expect. The vendors sell ice cream along the way, but it can be messy, and I worry about getting dirty if you're sitting on the aisle.

少しワイキキからは遠いですが、ガイドさんによって当たりハズレがあります。良いガイドさんなら色んな話が聞けて、車窓で観光が楽しめる時もあります。お食事は毎回高い方にしています。まぁ悪くはない感じです。ショーは内容を分かってても楽しいです。売り子さんが途中アイスクリームを売るのですが、ボタボタ落ちて通路側に座ってたら汚れそうでヒヤヒヤします。

North Shore Private Sunset Horseback Riding & Campfire Dinner at Gunstock Ranch

Beautiful sunset horseback ride and a wonderful campfire dinner!

Reviewed by: Maiwayalways1

Our guide was Greg. He was so sweet and genuine. As we trailed he would give us some history on the names of the cities surrounding the ranch, the different boarding houses for the various horses on the land and we saw roaming cattle and goats. A few roosters and chicken also. The girls really enjoyed themselves on the trail being surrounded by nature here. As we rode uphill and finally reached our camp, you smelled the campfire and saw a breath taking view of the ocean. The sight is amazing! The meal was strip steak, tempura shrimp, rice and mac salad. It was so delicious! And you roasted your own marshmallows for s'mores! As we rode down toward the valley, again you could see the elevation and beautiful land surrounding this huge ranch. This was our second sunset ride@ Gunstock and we will be returning again.

The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, deep green forests, blue ocean, and the dazzling sunlight created a vivid landscape that not only left a lasting impression but also provided an incredible sense of freedom, refreshing my spirit.

Although the staff spoke only English, they were friendly and spoke slowly and kindly to us, even though we are not very proficient in English. Wrapped in a warm atmosphere, I had a very enjoyable and relaxing time, so I highly recommend it! 😊

　ノースの広～い牧場、心地良い風に吹かれて、のんびりと馬の背に揺られてきました！！
空の青色、白い雲、牧草のみどり色、森の深緑色、海の水色、眩しい太陽の日差し、鮮やかな景色が目に焼きつくだけでなく、抜群の解放感で精神的にリフレッシュでき、ホント良かったです。
　言葉は英語のみですが、あまり英語が得意でない日本人の私達にフレンドリー且つ、ゆっくり優しく話してくれ、スタッフの方はアットホームで親切でした。

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

A mysterious driver. Forgotten participants, and an accident, then fly after seeing it! 不思議なドライバー。忘れられた参加者、そして事故、それを見てからフライ！

Reviewed by: れなみ

I went with a mixed group of about ten people, mostly Japanese, and there were some Koreans as well. The driver was an elderly man in his 70s. He didn’t seem like a bad person, but on the bus, he made us pass around a community newspaper where he had posted about his skydiving experience. He talked about his upbringing, spiritual matters, and global warming, and honestly, I couldn't understand what he was saying at all. That kind of talk was unnecessary.

When we arrived, everyone else took the training and boarded the Cessna, and they kept descending one after another. However, for some reason, we (I didn’t jump, but my companions did) were forgotten, and even though we arrived at 9 AM, the Cessna didn’t take off until after 11 AM. (Everyone else had finished by before 10 AM.)

As other participants finished their jumps and more people arrived, I started to think we were being forgotten. I occasionally asked the elderly driver, “Are we still waiting?” but he would say things like, “It’s just the order” or “It seems it will take a while,” and we were left waiting. The driver could have asked the staff for us, but he didn’t do that for quite some time. After about an hour and a half, he finally went to ask, and we were told, “It seems the paperwork was sent to the wrong place.” In short, we had been forgotten. I should have just gone to the reception myself to ask.

While we were waiting in a daze, there was a loud “bang!” followed by staff shouting “Oh No!” and “Emergency!” Then we saw someone collapse in the grass, and an ambulance arrived. It was shocking. In the end, it turned out that the parachute didn’t open in the air, but the person had failed the landing and fell a bit. However, I don’t know the details, and it was really scary. The person didn’t move for about 30 minutes, and the staff were all in a flurry. Ultimately, the person who fell didn’t go in the ambulance but left in a private car driven by their companion, so it seemed they weren’t seriously injured. But seeing something like that before jumping was terrifying, not enjoyable.

The driver was a bit off. We were made to wait a long time on-site, witnessed an accident, and then waited even longer because of that. Finally, we were able to jump, but the weather wasn’t great, and although I hoped for the maximum altitude, they lowered it (which is understandable). The only good memory was up in the sky.

Also, because there were many clouds, we were refunded $30 for having to lower the altitude, but it was a system where you had to go to the reception to request the refund yourself, which was another point of dissatisfaction. It’s strange that they wouldn’t refund unless you asked. The office was small, and there weren’t even ten customers, so they should have been able to keep track.

After waiting for such a long time, I went to the reception to file a complaint on the way back, but as expected, it was different from Japan. They really didn’t apologize! They made excuses about the paperwork being delayed, the documents going to the wrong place, the weather, and so on. I was frustrated that I couldn’t express even half of what I wanted to say because I don’t speak much English. It was all excuses. The driver insisted that he submitted the paperwork, but the reception made a mistake, and the reception said it wasn’t their fault.

Finally, when we were returning to Waikiki, the driver said, “There were various troubles today, so we were a bit late. Sorry about that.” Everyone in the tour group fell silent at that comment. The way he said it… Then afterwards, he called what seemed to be headquarters on his cellphone and reported, “Everything went smoothly,” which irritated me even more.

The driver’s incomprehensible talk, the wait time after everyone else finished their jumps, the accident, the refund system that required you to report it yourself, and their lack of apology.

I was exhausted.

When I went skydiving in Guam, the support from start to finish was fa

１０名ほどの混載で行きました。だいたい日本人、あと韓国人もいたかな。
ドライバーさんは、御年７０過ぎのおじいさんでした。悪い人ではないんだろうけど、バスの中では、自分がスカイダイビングをして載った（自身で投稿？）地域のコミュニティー新聞みたいなやつを回覧させられ、生い立ちからスピリチュアル？みたいな宇宙の話、地球温暖化の話、等と正直何言ってるのか全くわかりませんでした。あの話はいらないです。

そして到着し、他のみなさんは講習を受けてはセスナに乗り込み、どんどん降下してこられていました。しかし、私たちは（私は飛ばなかったので同行者が）なぜか忘れられ、９時に到着したのに、セスナ出発は１１時過ぎになりました。（他の人たちは１０時前には全て終えていた。）

他の参加者が飛び終え、後から来た人もどんどん飛び終え、これは忘れられているのでは？と思い、時々、ドライバーのおじいさんに、「まだですか？」と聞いていましたが「順番だから」「まだかかるみたい」などと言って待たされ、ドライバーさんも、受付の人に聞きに行ってくれれば良いのに、それもなかなかせず。１時間半ほど経ったころにようやく聞きに行ってくれ、「書類が違うところに回されていたみたい」とか言われました。要は忘れられていたと。やっぱり黙っててはダメですね。こんなことなら自分で受付に聞きに行けば良かったです。

そうこうしてボーっと待っているところに、「ドン！」という音とともに、スタッフ達の「Oh No!」や「Emergency！」とかいう声。そして草むらに倒れる人。そしてやってきた救急車。ビックリしました。結局は上空からパラシュートが開かずに落ちたのではなく、最後の着地に失敗し、ちょっと落ちた？みたいなことだったようです。でも詳しくわからないし、本当に怖かったです。３０分くらいは倒れた状態から動かなかったし、スタッフもザワザワしていたし。結局、落ちた人は救急車に乗らず、その人の同行者が運転する自家用車で帰って行ったので、それほどの怪我ではなかったようです。でも、そんなんを見てから飛ぶなんて楽しみではなく恐怖ですよね。

ドライバーさんがちょっとアレな人。現地ではさんざん待たされ、そして事故を目の当たりにし、それによって更に待たされ、ようやく飛べたものの、天候はあまりよくないとのことで、最高高度を希望していましたが高度を下げられ（これは仕方がないことです）良い思い出は空の上だけです。

あと、雲が多いということで、高度を下げることになったから３０ドル返金してもらったのですが、それも、自分で受付に言いに行かないと返金しないシステムだったので、そこも不満です。言いに行かなければ返金しないなんておかしいですよね。現地は小さな事務所で、お客さんも１０人もいないくらいで把握しきれないわけでもないのに。

そしてそんなこんなで、あまりにも長時間待たされたので帰り際に受付に苦情を言いに行きましたが、さすが日本とは違いますね。本当に謝らない！書類が届くのが遅かったとか、書類が手違いで違うところに行っていたとか、天候がー、とかとか。あんまり英語も話せないので、言いたいことの半分も言えなかったのがくやしいです。言い訳ばっかりでした。自分は悪くないと。ドライバーさんは、自分は書類を提出したが受付が間違ったと言い張るし、受付は自分のせいじゃないと言うし。

そしてようやくワイキキに戻る時、ドライバーさんが言った「今日はいろんなトラブルがあったからね、ちょっと遅くなったけどねー。ハイすみませんでした。」という言葉に、もうツアー参加者全員沈黙でしたね。その言い方。。。
そしてその後、携帯電話で本部みたいなところに電話し、「問題なく終わりましたー。」という脳天気な報告にもイラッとしました。

ドライバーさんの意味不明な話。他の人たちは飛び終えてからの待ち時間、私たちは飛ぶ前の待ち時間。事故。申告しないと返金しないシステム。そして謝らない姿勢。

疲れました。

グアムでスカイダイブしたときは講習からすべてに至るまで素晴らしいサポートだったのになぁ。。

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Educational, Cultural, & Beautiful!!!

Reviewed by: ----------RHO----

I have hiked many of the popular attractions here on Oahu like Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, and Koko Head, but they have nothing as elegant as what the Huakai Iki hike has. We booked our tour, and was informed that the check in location is at the Aloha General Store. We were greeted by our wonderful guides Keola and Holly. We started venturing off on the private roads owned by Kamehameha Schools, Bishop Estate. We had excellent views of the agricultural land, the coastline of Haleiwa, the mountain ranges of both the Ko'olaus and Waianae! We had learned so much Hawaiian historical facts, such as endemic versus native species of plants and animals, special trees and plants such as the Koa tree, ohia lehua, and the strawberry guava tree. Keola and Holly are excellent guides! The one thing that I highly valued is that you can ask them anything! They will tell you if they know about it, and if they don't they will either call you or email me and give you the answer! Many other tour guides on other hikes, tend to come up with excuses, or falsified facts. But not Keola or Holly. We had great views of the swimming pools (water ponds), nice high clouds, and wonderful native plants. This is the best hiking tour that I have been on by far. I will definitely go out with north Shore Eco Tours again, for their Huakai Nui Hike! Mahalo Keola & Holly!

I learned a lot about the history of the North Shore on this tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Our guides Keola and Holly were knowledgeable in Hawaiian history and culture.

I appreciated that Keola asked for permission to enter the hiking trail in a traditional way.The hike itself was wonderful. We saw a lovely lehua blossom on the trail! The area is home to a number of rare native trees that I will leave to you to figure the name of. This hike is not for people who are out of shape. You will get a workout on the hike! If you appreciate learning about Hawaiian culture with legitimate information shared, the natural beauty of the North Shore, and to spend a day of your vacation in nature, this hike is for you. Way better than a luau!

North Shore Beaches Surf Bus Tour with Driver Sam

Reviewed by: The Lyons Lot

Our family of 6 adults from Brisbane Australia loved this whole day tour. Our driver / tour guide Sam picked us up from our hotel on time, & drove safely. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about Oahu, and explained all the sights on the way to the North Shore - he make the entire trip an awesome experience. He gave us a drive by & quick stop at each of the available activities before we chose them, then dropped us all to our chosen areas. 3 of us chose bike riding along the famous surfing beaches where we could stop and have beach time as we liked; the other 3 the walk through the beautiful gardens to the waterfall. Though a lovely walk, it is quite a long one, for anyone older. If you want a swim at the Falls, take cash for a compulsory life jacket hire! From there we walked back to Waimea Bay beach for a swim until our bus pick up. Our next activity for 4 of us was SUP (stand up paddle boarding) and 2 did kayaking. We LOVED this time on the water and would have liked to have a bit less time on the morning activities and more time for the afternoon ones! After, we walked through the town and sampled the Shaved Ice and some delicious lunch before boarding the bus completely satisfied with our day. We did several different tours while in Waikiki, and this was BY FAR the very best for the sightseeing, and activities on offer, plus the freedom to have our own time was fantastic. We were REALLY impressed with Sam the driver & happy to tip him well for his outstanding service - he contributed in a big way to making it the best tour during our time in Hawaii. Thank you Sam! I would highly recommend this tour, well worth it and we have great memories of our day.

It was an impressive show. 迫力のあるショーでした

Reviewed by: よーこ

I went on the night of my arrival in Hawaii. The shuttle service was clear, smooth, and punctual. The venue is located away from the city center, but thanks to the guide's various explanations about Hawaii during the ride, we arrived without getting bored. The meal and the show were separate, starting with the meal. The dining was in a buffet style (we chose the deluxe course), featuring Hawaiian dishes, and the meat and garlic shrimp were particularly delicious. When the show started, we were seated in the second row, and the energy of the dancers was palpable, making for a great spot. There were various dances set to Hawaiian music, which was entertaining. The final fire dance was impressive, and you could really feel the heat of the flames. Additionally, the ice cream served during the show's break was very tasty. After the show, you can take photos with the dancers, which makes for a nice memory. However, they leave quickly, so if you want to take pictures, be sure to hurry!

ハワイ到着日の夜に行きました。送迎は遅れることなくわかりやすくスムーズでした。会場は中心部より離れたところにあるのですが、車内の途中でガイドさんによりハワイについて説明が色々とあったため暇することなくたどり着けました。食事とショーは別々となっており、まず食事から始まりました。食事はバイキング形式となっており、（私たちはデラックスコース）、ハワイらしい料理が出ており、特にお肉とガーリックシュリンプが美味しかったです。ショーが始まり席はなんと2列目でダンサーの勢いが伝わりとても良い席でした。ハワイの音楽にのせて色々な踊りががあり面白かったです。最後のファイヤーダンスは火のあつさを感じながらとてもみごたえがありますよ。また、ショーの休憩でもらえるアイスもとても美味しかったです。ショーが終わった後はダンサーとも写真がとれるので記念になりますよ。ただ、すぐにいなくなってしまうので写真を撮りたい方は急いで下さいね。

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 was a magnificent show. 見事なショーでした

Reviewed by: yumi

On the last night in Hawaii, I participated in the Twilight Deluxe Tour. The night show, which started at 7:30, was incredibly impressive! The title "HA BREATH OF LIFE" tells a story of life being born and passed on to new generations, progressing through Tonga, Hawaii, New Zealand, Samoa, and Fiji, allowing us to enjoy different costumes, dances, chants, and songs from each culture. I particularly loved the Hawaiian performance. The Tahitian dance, with its hip movements, was also captivating, and everything was magnificent. The final fire dance was a fitting climax, and everyone gave a standing ovation.

During a break, a dessert the size of a hand was served (a giant ice cream on top of cut fruits), and those in the deluxe seats could exchange their tickets for it. Some people in the standard seats misunderstood and lined up to get ice cream, but it was said to cost $5. We couldn't finish it due to the quantity and time constraints.

Regarding transportation, the voucher mentioned the tour operator in English, but the guides spoke Japanese, which was great. On the way there, the bus provided a meaningful experience as they showed photos on a tablet while giving a tour. The time was indicated as 1 hour and 15 to 30 minutes, but it seemed to include chronic traffic congestion on the way there, while the return trip didn't take as long.

One disappointing aspect was that we, who boarded the bus first, had to wait quite a while for others to be picked up, and due to the congestion in Waikiki and traffic on the highway (an ambulance also passed), our arrival was delayed, resulting in only 40 minutes for the meal. Drinks could be ordered at our seats for free, and I thought I could take my time getting food, but in the end, I had to rush to eat. The buffet was not crowded, but it might be better to fill a plate and sit down to enjoy the main dish before leisurely moving on to dessert. However, don't forget that there is dessert during the show's intermission.

ハワイ最終日の夜にトワイライト・デラックスツアーに参加しました。
7：30から始まるナイトショーは迫力満点 ！！
HA　BREATH OF LIFEというタイトル通り命が生まれ、また新しい命に受け継がれるストーリーで順にトンガ・ハワイ・ニュージーランド・サモア・フィジーと構成が分かれて進むので異なるそれぞれの衣装とダンス、掛け声・歌が楽しめました。
私はハワイアンが一番気に入りました。腰を振るタヒチアンダンスも見応えがあり、どれも見事なものでした。最後のファイヤーダンスは締めくくりにふさわしく大盛り上がりで、皆スタンディングオベーションでした。
途中で休憩が入り片手を広げた程の大きさのデザート(カットフルーツの上に巨大なアイス)が運ばれて来てデラックス席の人はチケットに引換券が着いているので交換できました。スタンダード席の人も勘違いされアイスをもらう為、並んでいた方がいましたが、5ドルと言われていました。私達には量的にも時間的にも食べ切る事はできませんでしたが。
送迎については、バウチャー（予約券）にツアー催行会社(英語)とありましたが、ガイドをして下さった方々は日本語OKでしたし、行きのバスではタブレットで写真を見せながら観光案内までしてくれて有意義な時間でした。
時間は1時間15分~30分と案内されましたが、行きの慢性的な交通渋滞を含んだ時間みたいで、帰りはそれ程の時間はかかりませんでした。
残念だった事は行きのバスで一番先に乗車した私達は他の方のピックアップにかなりの時間待たされワイキキ界隈の混雑、高速道路の渋滞（救急車も通りました）の影響で到着が遅れた？？のか、食事時間が40分だった事です。
飲み物は席でオーダー(無料)できましたし、都度取りに行けば、と余裕で考えていた所、結果慌てて食べるはめになりました。ビュッフェは空いていましたが、一度にお皿に盛って着席しメインディッシュを楽しみ、ゆっくりテザートへ、がいいかも・・。でも、ショーの休憩時間にデザートがある事はお忘れなく。

絶景スカイダイビング　一度は経験してみたい大空で味わうスリルと感動！ビデオ＆写真撮影付きプランあり　by ゴージャンプハワイ＜送迎付き＞

It was my first time skydiving, but 初めてのスカイダイビングでしたが

Reviewed by: キング

I had an amazing time.
If I come to Hawaii again, I want to jump again.

Everyone should try skydiving at least once in their lifetime.
I feel like I've changed just a little bit.

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。
またハワイに来たら飛びたいと思う。

みんなも一生に一度くらいスカイダイビングに
チャレンジしてみようぜ。
ほんの少しだけ自分が変わった気がする。

Everyone was friendly, and even though I participated alone, I had a great time. It was my second time skydiving, and the weather was clear with great visibility that day, which made it enjoyable.

皆さんフレンドリーで一人で参加したのですが、楽しかったです。
スカイダイビングは2回目でしたが、当日は晴天で見晴らしが良く、
面白かったです。
