First of all, I highly recommend this tour!
After the Golden Week, there were two Japanese participants who brought a friend, along with others from America, Oceania, and Europe.
We set sail while listening to the local guide's somewhat thick-accented English explanation.
(Even if you don't understand English, you can get by with gestures.)
We moved by boat to a snorkeling point not too far from the shore.
There weren't too many different types of fish, but we encountered a lot of fish and, most importantly, many sea turtles.
It was truly lucky to see them swimming alongside us up close.
After snorkeling, we cruised near Diamond Head and encountered a large pod of dolphins.
They entertained us with tornado spins and other antics.
The cheerful captain extended our cruising time significantly beyond the schedule.
This has definitely become one of the tours I want to do again.
まずはじめに、このツアーはお勧めです!
私が参加したゴールデンウイーク後は、日本人の参加者が友人を合わせて2名で
その他アメリカ・オセアニア・ヨーロッパ等の方々でした。
現地の方のなまりがきつめの英語の説明を聞きながら、出航です。
(英語がわからなくても、手振りで何となく伝わります。)
陸からそれほど遠くない場所に船で移動し、シュノーケリングポイントへ。
それほど種類は多くないですが、たくさんの魚と
何といってもたくさんの海亀に遭遇です。
平行して泳ぐ姿を至近距離で見れるなんて、本当にラッキーでした。
シュノーケリング後に、ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまで船でクルージングしたのですが、イルカの大群に遭遇。
トルネードスピンなどしてくれて、楽しませてくれました。
ご機嫌になった船長は、予定よりかなり長くクルージングをしてくれました。
また、必ず行きたいツアーの1つとなりました。

I participated with my family.
It was nice that we could gather at Waikiki Beach, making it easy to join in.
The snorkeling was quite bumpy due to the waves, and I felt a bit seasick. My companions felt even more nauseous. I recommend bringing a plastic bag just in case.
There were many fish, but not a lot of variety. We were able to see sea turtles several times. Snorkeling in the moderately deep sea was refreshing.
After snorkeling, we took our time cruising. It was nice to view the scenery of Waikiki from the ocean.
It surprisingly got a bit chilly, so make sure to bring a T-shirt or something for sun protection.

The one-hour cruise went by in no time.
With a pleasant breeze, we approached Diamond Head, which was the perfect location.
I had a great time relaxing in the beautiful interior of the boat with a beer in hand.
However, while the staff greeted us with smiles, all the explanations were in English, which was a bit disappointing as I didn't understand them well. It would have been nice if the types of drinks were written somewhere in English or if there was a menu.
Still, it was a luxurious cruise.
1時間のクルーズで、あっという間でした。
気持ちのいい風の中、ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づき、最高のロケーションです。
ゆったりときれいな船内で、ビール片手に、いい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、スタッフの方は、笑顔で接してくれましたが説明が全部英語で、よくわからなかったのが残念でした。飲み物の種類が英語表記でもいいので、どこかに書いてあるか、メニュー表があれば、良かったのですが・・・
それでも、贅沢なクルーズでした。

My friend and I wanted to go to a luau, but didn't have much time, so this one located right in Waikiki was perfect! As we sat down, they came around with the complimentary Mai Tai (yummy!) and there was entertainment and live music as we relaxed.
The buffet was great, there was an assortment of food for everyone's tastes and my plate was huge by the time I got back to my table! The show was very entertaining and the fire knife dance at the end took our breaths away! You could feel the heat of the fire from the table. What a great way to end our day.

I went with my partner on our honeymoon. The location was great, very close to the Royal Hawaiian where we were staying. The experience was interesting, and we even got to see sea turtles! When we went out to sea, we coincidentally saw whales, and everyone was excited!
The reason I gave it four stars was because of the meeting time. It said 7:30 here, but it was actually at 8:00, and there were no staff members at 7:30. I was worried that there was a mistake, but after asking a local, I waited, and the staff started preparing, so we were able to participate. Also, the explanations were only in English, so it might be tough for those who don't understand it at all.
But it was fun!!! We were the only Japanese people there, and we really enjoyed our time abroad!

It was my first time participating, and it was more fun than I imagined. Lookalikes of Elvis Presley, Steven Tyler, Michael Jackson, and Madonna appeared one after another. The performances on stage were also fantastic. After the show, I was able to take photos, which made for great memories. I would like to participate again.
初めての参加でしたが、想像以上に楽しかったです。エルビスプレスリー・スティーブンタイラー・マイケルジャクソン・マドンナのそっくりさんが相次いで登場。ステージ上のパフォーマンスも最高でした。ショー終了後も、写真撮影などしていただき、いい思い出になりました。また参加したいと思います。

I highly recommend Kamata-ran, which was also suggested by the locals. Since I arrived earlier than the meeting time, I took a swim at Waikiki Beach. And finally, it was time to board! The beautiful sea, scenery, and pleasant breeze felt wonderful. However, since the sun is strong, I think it's better to have a jacket or at least a towel the size of a bath towel. It gets hot and painful. I wanted to go to the net area, but since no one else went, it was difficult to get there, so unfortunately, I didn't go. Once we got out to sea, the waves were calm, so I didn't get wet, but as we approached the shallow area, the waves got higher, and my feet got a bit wet. The view of the horizon, the streets of Waikiki, and Diamond Head was amazing! I also saw a sea turtle. It was a great experience. I heard that the evening departure allows you to see the sunset, so I would like to try that next time!
現地日本人もオススメしてくれたカマタラン。
集合時間より早くついたためワイキキビーチで一泳ぎ。
そしていよいよ乗船!
キレイな海、景色、心地よい風が吹きとても気持ちよかったです。
ただ、日差しが強いので上着、もしくはバスタオルぐらいの大きさのタオルはあったほうがいいと思います。あつくて痛いです。
ネットのところに行きたかったのですが誰も行かず行きづらかったので残念ながら行きませんでした。沖にでると波も静かなので濡れることはなかったですが浅瀬に近づくと波が高くなり足元は少々濡れました。
水平線やワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを一望でき景色が最高でしたね!

I got quite lost trying to find the venue within the Hilton, which is quite large, and I didn't know where the elevator to the venue was. After showing my ticket at the entrance, I received a shell necklace and was guided to my seat after taking a commemorative photo with the dancers (of course, the photo was paid). It seemed that the seating location (either in front of or behind the stage) was determined by the color of the ticket. I could enjoy up to two free drinks. The dinner was served buffet-style, with plenty of options that Japanese people could eat. Many of the local dancers had a great sense of humor and were fun, posing for the camera when I pointed it at them. During the show, a strong dancer suddenly called me over and took me to the center stage, where I was asked to blow a conch shell as a representative of the Japanese audience. I was confused but managed to do it, which was good. After that, I was taken to the stage again by a female dancer, and we danced together, shaking our hips vigorously. It felt like I was being targeted for some reason. I had a truly valuable experience and was very satisfied. I think participating in such unique Hawaiian events is a lot of fun.
ヒルトン内でもかなり広くてショーが行われる会場がどこか分からずかなり迷いました。会場に上がるエレベーターの場所が分からなかったです。入口でチケットを見せてから貝の首飾りをもらい、ダンサーと記念撮影(もちろん写真は有料)を終えた後に席に案内されました。チケットの色で席の場所(ステージの前か後)が決められているようでした。飲み物は2杯まで無料で飲めました。夕食はビュッフェ形式で日本人でも食べれるものばかり用意されていました。現地のダンサーの方はユーモアがありおもしろい人が多く、カメラを向けるとポーズをとってくれたりして楽しかったです。ショーの途中でいきなり屈強なダンサーにこっちに来いと言われ、中央の舞台に連れて行かれ日本人代表として客の前でホラ貝を吹けと言われ困惑しましたがなんとか吹くことができ良かったです。その後また女性のダンサーに舞台に連れて行かれて、一緒に腰を激しく振って踊りました。私はなぜか狙われていたかのようでした。かなり貴重な体験をして大変満足しました。このようなハワイ独特なイベントは参加すると楽しいと思います。

Despite the meeting place being at Outrigger Reef, we ended up at Outrigger Waikiki and were 15 minutes late, but the boat arrived just after 8 o'clock. I guess that's American time, right? (laughs)
We arrived at the snorkeling spot in about 10 to 15 minutes. Since it was off Waikiki, we could see Waikiki Beach and the hotels while snorkeling. I was surprised to think we could see sea turtles from such a distance. But we quickly spotted a sea turtle floating on the surface!
As soon as we got into the water, the crew started throwing food to attract the fish. However, the only fish that gathered were dark-colored surgeonfish. There were hardly any colorful tropical fish. But a little further away, there were 5 to 6 of the main attraction, the turtles!!! The water depth was about 7 to 8 meters. The turtles were swimming at about 5 to 6 meters deep, but since I’m good at free diving, I was able to enjoy a rendezvous with the turtles to my heart's content. The turtles seemed accustomed to people and didn’t try to escape even when I got close. Well, touching them is prohibited, so I could only get close, but that was enough to be very satisfying! They occasionally surfaced for air, so even those who can’t dive can enjoy it.
The snorkeling lasted about an hour and a half. After that, we had a 30-minute cruise. The weather was nice, so although the sun was hot, the breeze felt great.
Drinks (cocktails, beer) and photos on board are available for a fee. The snorkeling gear is available for free rental, but there are no fins. I brought my own. The floatation devices are available for free rental, but there are no life jackets, so those who can’t swim might want to prepare accordingly.
待合せ場所がアウトリガーリーフにも係わらず、私たちはアウトリガーワイキキに行ってしまい、集合時間より15分も遅れてしまいましたが、ボートが来たのは8時過ぎ。アメリカ時間ってことでしょうか(笑)
シュノーケリングスポットへは10~15分程度で到着。ワイキキ沖のためシュノーケリングしながらワイキキビーチやホテルが見えるくらいの場所。こんなところで海亀が見えるの?って思う距離です。でもすぐに水面に浮いている海亀を発見!
早速水の中に入ると、船員が餌を撒いて魚を集めてくれます。しかし集まってくる魚は真っ黒のハギ系の魚だけ。カラフルな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんでした。でも、少し離れた所には本命の亀が5~6匹も!!!
水深は7~8メートルというところでしょうか。亀は5~6メートルのところを泳いでいたのですが、私は素潜りが得意なため亀との水中ランデブーを思う存分楽しむことができました。亀は人に慣れているのか近づいても逃げようとしません。ま、触れることは禁止されているので近づくだけですがそれでも十分満足できます!
息をするためにたまに浮き上がってくるので、潜ることができない人でも楽しむことができると思います。
シュノーケリングの時間は1時間半くらいでしょうか。
そのあとは30分ほどのクルージング。天気も良かったので日差しは暑いものの風が気持ちよかったです。
船内での飲み物(カクテル、ビール)と写真は有料です。
シュノーケリングセットは無料貸出ですがフィンはありません。私は持参しました。
浮き棒は無料貸出ですがライフジャケットもありませんので、泳げない方は準備された方がいいかもしれません。

My child (in first grade) wanted to see fish, so we were looking for something easy to do. We were the only Japanese people on the boat departing from Outrigger. All the equipment instructions were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.
My child enjoyed it, especially when the captain caught and showed us an octopus, which made them very happy. On the way back, we cruised towards Diamond Head, making it a great tour that finished in the morning, perfect for families with children.
子供(小学校一年)がお魚をみたいと言い、気軽に出来そうなものを探していました。アウトリガーからの出航で日本人は私達だけでした。器具の説明など全て英語てすが、特に問題ありませんでした。

The day before the snorkeling tour, Waikiki was sunny every day, but just before the meeting time, while having breakfast and looking outside, it started pouring rain and the wind picked up.
I thought, "Is this going to be canceled?" as my husband and I headed to the meeting place, but to our surprise, everyone was cheerful and said, "Once you're inside, it's the same! We're going ahead today!"
While I was relieved that it wasn't canceled, I couldn't help but feel cold waiting at the meeting spot due to the heavy rain and strong winds.
The snorkeling itself was a lot of fun, and I was very satisfied because I got to see many sea turtles and fish! We brought our own snorkel sets and fins, which made swimming easier. They provided us with foam sticks, allowing us to enjoy it for a long time.
However, the sailing after snorkeling was just freezing, and I was shivering. The towel I brought was wet from wiping off the rain and my body, so even covering myself with it didn't help, and even though I had never experienced seasickness before, I ended up feeling nauseous. The weather changed from rain to cloudy.
I realized I should have brought an extra towel for drying off and taken seasickness medication. When we left the hotel, it wasn't raining, so it was a big miscalculation.
シュノーケリングツアーの前日までは毎日晴天のワイキキでしたが、集合時間の少し前に朝食をとりながら外を見ると、大雨で風も強くなってしまった。
「これは中止かなぁ~」と旦那と残念に思いながら集合場所に行ってみると、「中に入っちゃえば同じだよ~!今日は催行OKだよ~!」と陽気な様子。
中止にならなくて嬉しい反面、大雨で風が強くて集合場所で待っている間も寒くてしょうがなかったです。
シュノーケリング自体はとっても楽しく、ホヌにもお魚にもたくさん会えたので大満足!!
私たちはシュノーケルセットとフィンも持参していたので泳ぎやすかったです。
発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくださり、長時間でも楽しめました。
しかしシュノーケリングの終了後のセーリングは、ただただ寒くて凍えていました。
持参したタオルも雨と体を拭いて濡れていたため、それを体にかけても寒くて、尚且つ、今まで一度も船酔いのした事のない私でも、船酔いしてしまいました。
お天気は雨から曇りになっていました。
船酔いの薬を飲んで、寒さ対策は忘れずに体を拭く以外のタオルを持っていったらよかったなと感じました。
宿泊ホテルを出発するときには雨は降っていなかったので、大誤算でした。

This is my third time using the catamaran. The first time I rode it, I got soaked from the splashes and it was quite impactful and fun, so I was looking forward to using it again when I went to Hawaii. However, the second time there were no waves at all and it was boring, but I thought I would give it another try for the third time. Unfortunately, this time there were also no waves and it was too boring. I probably won't use it again.

This time, we participated as a three-generation family, including small children. Since it was early April, the rooftop of the hotel was quite cool, and with the wind, it felt cold even with a light jacket. Not just us, but those around us also seemed to be feeling the chill. We took a commemorative photo at the entrance, and it was up to us whether to purchase it later. After being seated, we were served juice or cocktails, and then we had to wait in a long line to get food from the buffet before the show, which was quite tiring. Since the children's and adults' food stations were in different places, I had to line up for the children's food first, and then go to the adults' station, which was a bit of a hassle. Aside from the food, the show featured hula dancing, male dancers, and some active performances with fire, making it quite fulfilling. After the show, there was a farewell from the cast at the exit, where we could take photos. I thought it was a nice opportunity to see such a well-organized show up close.
今回は小さな子供を含む3世代での参加でした。4月のはじめということもあってか、ホテルの屋上はかなり涼しく、風もあり羽織ものを持っていても寒かったです。私たちだけではなく周りも寒そうにしておりました。入り口で記念写真をとり、後で購入するかは、自由でした。席に着くジューズかカクテルを持って来てもらい、すこしして、ショーの前にビュフェの料理で取りに行くのにかなり並び、食事にありつくまで、疲れてしまいました。子供用と大人用の食事を取りにいくのが違う所だったので、子供の所に並んで、、、それから大人の所に並んでと、いった感じで、めんどうでした。食事をのぞけば、ショーはフラダンスや、男性のダンス、そして、男性が火を使ったアクティブなものもあり、なかなか充実しておりました。ショーが終わってから出口のところでは、キャストのかたのお見送りがあり、そこでは、写真撮影ができました。身近でこのようなまとまったショーを見るにはいいのではとおもいました。

The classic luau show. The food is surprisingly good, but the content of the show itself is quite ordinary and traditional. If you don't mind the number of meals or dancers, the free Aloha Friday show at the Hyatt every Friday might be sufficient. On the day I attended, due to the weather, it was held indoors and there was no fire dance. That might be one reason it felt overpriced. There was no clear notice about the change of location, which left a somewhat unkind impression.
定番のルアウショー。食事が意外に美味しいので良いが、ショーの内容自体は昔ながらで極めて普通。食事やダンサーの人数に拘らなければ、毎週金曜日にハイアットでやってるアロハフライデーの無料ショーで十分かも。参加した日は天候の都合か屋内での開催でファイヤーダンスは無し。それも割高に感じた理由かも。場所が変更になった旨の分かりやすい案内もなく、ちょっと不親切な印象を受けた。

There were only two Japanese families, and the rest were foreigners. The instructor's English had a thick accent (Yankee-style speaking), making it difficult to understand. I could only grasp about half of the meaning. Still, it was not a problem. We snorkeled for about 30 minutes to an hour off the coast of Waikiki. Since we had elementary school children with us, we brought life jackets, snorkels, masks, fins, and marine shoes from Japan. We encountered fish and turtles (honu). Bringing a waterproof camera is the best.
We departed in the morning, and the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, so it was cold on the boat after snorkeling. Especially with wet swimsuits and rash guards, it was chilly. It's essential to bring a thick bath towel from the hotel. Foreigners seem fine being naked, though.
After that, we went sailing towards Kahala. It was nice to see the Waikiki Beach hotel group from a different angle offshore. The group photo taken at departure was about $15, roughly the size of B5. It turned out quite nicely. This tour might be a bit tough for children under kindergarten age.
In summary: It's impossible for toddlers to be in the sea without being able to touch the bottom, just with a Styrofoam stick! Life jackets are essential. Bring a bath towel for warmth. And it costs $15.
日本人ファミリーは2組だけでそれ以外は外国人。インストラクターの英語が訛っていて(ヤンキー風しゃべり)聞き取りにくい。半分くらいの意味しかわからず。それでも問題なし。ワイキキの沖合いで30分から1時間くらいシュノーケリング。うちは小学生もいたので日本からライフベスト、シュノーケル、水中マスク、フィン、マリンシューズを持参。魚や亀(ホヌ)に遭遇。防水カメラ持参がベスト。
朝出発で天候がくもり、時々晴れだったのでシュノーケリングの後は船上では寒いです。特に濡れた水着やラッシュガードは寒い。ホテルから厚手のバスタオル持参が必須。外人は裸でも平気みたいですが。
その後カハラ方面へセーリング。沖合いからのワイキキビーチホテル群がいつもと違う方向から見れて良かったです。
出発時に撮ったグループ写真が確か15$。B5くらいの大きさ。 なかなかきれいに撮れてましたよ。幼稚園児以下はこのツアーは少々きついかも。
総括:足の届かない海に発砲スチロールの棒だけで幼児は無理!ライフベストが必須です。
寒さ対策のバスタオル。 そして15$。

On the day of the show, it started with Presley, Steven Tyler, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and then Presley again. To be honest, aside from Steven Tyler, the performances were a bit underwhelming, and I felt that the impersonators in Japan were better at portraying Michael and Madonna. It seems that the performers change depending on the day, but overall, the show had an enjoyable structure, and I was able to see Polynesian dance at both the opening and closing, so it felt like the content of the show was worth the price.
当日は、プレスリー、スティーブンタイラー、マイケルジャクソン、マドンナ、プレスリーの順番で、ショーが始まりました。
正直、スティーブンタイラー以外は微妙で、マイケルやマドンナに関しては日本でモノマネしている人の方が上手かった様な気もします。
日によって出演者が異なる様ですが、全体的にショーとしては楽しめる構成となっており、ポリネシアンダンスもオープニングとエンディングで見れましたので、金額に見合ったショーの内容であったように思えます。

The show was very entertaining, we had so much fun! The staff were very friendly and caring. Since I have small children; they were always checking on us, made sure that my kids are entertained as well! The dancers were amazing too!
I brought my entire family with me, my husband, and our children (ages 8, 6, and 12mos), at first, I had to think twice if I really should bring them to this kind of show but since they love music and they’re on their spring break too, I took them there anyway…and I never regret it!
WOW! The show was outstanding! Michael Jackson had the real moves and never failed our expectation, it was so real! Steven Tyler looks exactly like Steven, performing in front of our eyes and his entrance to the stage was the best when he flew in a harness to the stage. We absolutely loved their performances that even my kids were dancing too! This show is definitely a great place to take your stress away!
Dinner buffet at the Tree Top Lanai are very delicious as well.

Since I was staying at the Hilton, I watched it three times. Even as a repeat visitor, it was enjoyable, so I definitely recommend first-timers to see it at least once. The venue isn't very large, so you can watch the show up close! It's quite impressive! Enjoy it while having dinner.
ヒルトンに宿泊していることもあり、3回観ました。
リピーターでも楽しいので、ぜひ初めての方は1度観て下さい。
そんなに大きくない会場なので、近くでショーを観れますよ!
迫力ありますよ!
ディナーをしながら、楽しんで下さい。

The catamaran ride, which was hard to get on, was exhilarating as we rode over the rough waves, splashing water everywhere due to the strong winds. The drinks were free-flowing. I was satisfied to see two turtles floating in the sea and even spotted a whale's tail.
I was the only Japanese participant, but I wonder if there were any Japanese-speaking staff. It was a bit difficult to join in on the lively atmosphere around me; without good English skills and social abilities, it can be challenging to get into the Spectra Net.
The scenery of Waikiki and the ocean was very beautiful, and I would love to participate again.
なかなか乗れないカタマラン、風が強かったので荒波に乗りあげ水しぶきをあげて走るのは爽快でした。
飲み物はフリードリンクです。
海に浮いているカメを2匹にクジラの尾も見られて満足でした。
日本人の参加は私だけでしたが日本語スタッフはいたのでしょうか?
ちょっと周りの上げ気味のノリに参加しにくいというか、
英語力と社交力がないとスペクトラ・ネットには入りづらいですね。
ワイキキと海の風景もとても美しく、また参加したいです。

The information about the locations within the hotel is unclear, so it's best to arrive early. The show is a mix of Hawaiian, Polynesian, and Micronesian performances, but it feels like a basic dinner show you would find in Hawaii. There are few staff members for the show, and after visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center in the north, it feels lacking. The meal is not as luxurious as one might imagine. The price is appropriate for the food and the show.
I must say again, the guidance boards for the locations are inadequate, and I couldn't find the venue!
とにかくホテル内の場所のインフォメーションが
判りにくいので早めに行くべし。
ショーはハワイアン、ポリネシア、ミクロネシアの
ミックスショーだがハワイでのディナーショーの基本という
感じ。
ショースタッフの数が少なく北部のポリネシアンセンターを
見に行った後だと物足りない。
食事は想像ほどは豪華ではない。
食事とショーで値段相応です。
もう一度言いますけど、場所の案内ボードがテキトウで
会場が判りません!

Off Waikiki Beach.
Even though we only went out to where we could see the coastline, we were able to see sea turtles swimming.
I've experienced snorkeling in various countries, but this was my first encounter with sea turtles.
It was truly amazing, and my son was thrilled as well.
There are no life jackets available for rent.
They do provide foam sticks that can be used for underwater relaxation therapy.
I recommend that those who are not confident swimmers bring their own floaties or similar items.
Especially during this time of year, the waves are high and swimming can be difficult.
While sailing, if you are at the front of the yacht, you might get splashed with water.
Be careful in winter as it can be cold.
ワイキキビーチ沖。
海岸が見えるくらいまでしか出ていないのにウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。
シュノーケリングは色々な国の海で経験していますがウミガメとの遭遇は初めてでした。
もう大感動です。息子も大喜びでした。
ライフベストの貸し出しはありません。
水中リラクゼーションエステ?で使うような発砲スチロールの棒は貸してくれます。
泳ぎに自信のない方はご自分で浮き輪など用意されることをお勧めします。
特に今の時期は波も高く泳ぎにくいので。
セーリング中はヨットの前方に居ると水をかぶってしまいます。
冬は寒いので要注意です。

I arrived about 30 minutes late, but I was happy that the staff welcomed me warmly.
The meal was a buffet, and there were a lot of carbohydrate-based dishes. Since the show started while I was eating, I couldn't really eat too much. The drinks included two tickets, and I enjoyed some beer and wine. They were cold and delicious. There were also cakes and coffee. I think it would have been nice to have some "Hawaiian-style" gravy sauce hamburgers as well.
The show was enjoyable for adults. I couldn't help but notice the dancers' inner muscles... However, for elementary school students, the entire show was in English, and they seemed to not understand much. Well, I guess that's due to their lack of study...
Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, there was little travel involved, and there was a fun photo booth with the dancers on the way back, making for an enjoyable dinner.
In February, the outdoor nights can be a bit chilly, so a jacket is a must.
30分程遅れて行きましたが、スタッフの方々も気持ちよく対応していただいて嬉しかった。
食事 いわゆるビュッフェです。炭水化物系が多く、食べてる間にショーが始まるのであんまりガツガツ食べる事が出来ませんでした。飲み物もチケット2枚がついていてビールやワインをいただきました。冷えてておいしかったですよ。ケーキやコーヒーもありました。もうちょっと「ザ・ハワイ的」なグレービーソース系ハンバーグとかがあっても良かったかな。
ショー 大人が見るには楽しいショーでした。ダンサーのインナーマッスルが気になって、気になって・・・。ただ小学生的には全編英語で、何やらわからんかったようです。まぁ勉強不足がいかんのでしょうけどもね・・・。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、移動も少なく、帰りにダンサーとの記念設営ブースもあり楽しいディナーになりました。
2月の夜間野外は少し肌寒いので、上着は必須です。

It was my first time in Hawaii, so I thought it would be nice to see a Hawaiian show. I got good seats, but the place I was directed to was far from the stage. In the end, it was fine because I had children with me, but it wasn't until halfway through the show that the staff finally realized their mistake and spoke to us, yet we didn't move. The stage was clearly visible from anywhere, so I think it wouldn't be a problem to sit anywhere. The food was as I expected—neither particularly good nor bad. I was captivated by the powerful dancing of the performers in the show.
初めてのハワイでしたので、ハワイアンショーを見るのもよいかと思い行ってきました。よい席を取ったのですが、案内された場所はステージから遠い席。結果的には、子供がいたので良かったのですが、ショー途中になってようやくスタッフが間違っていることに気づき声をかけられましたが移動しませんでした。ステージ自体はよく見えるので、どこでも問題ないと思います。料理は想像通りで可もなく不可もなくです。ショー自体は、ダンサーの迫力ある踊りに魅了されました。

Our first luau was enjoyable for all seven family members!
Before participating, I thought it might be too expensive considering the cost performance, but overall, I was satisfied with the experience.
This is just my personal opinion, but I’ll provide some detailed information for future participants since there isn’t much written about it.
We drove to the Hilton venue with a rental car, and both self-parking and valet parking are available. I arrived late at 5:15 PM, so I opted for valet parking to save time. I was prepared to pay a relatively high parking fee even with validation (discount or free parking). However, when I picked up my car after the event, valet parking was free! Just remember to tip the valet. I recommend valet parking for those using rental cars. When you drop off your car, they will ask if you are a guest or a visitor, so just say "Visitor, luau show," and you’ll be fine even if your English isn’t great! Don’t forget to get the validation sticker from the staff after the show. You can shop in the Hilton without worrying about parking fees after the show.
Since I arrived late, there was no waiting time to enter! If you’re late, you’ll go directly to the venue, so first-timers who aren’t hotel guests might get lost. You need to take the escalator from the "Rainbow Bazaar," a shopping area next to the self-parking building, to reach the venue, so be careful if you’re running late.
I was seated at a table at the far end, but the tables are arranged in a U-shape around the stage, so even from the standard seats, the view was impressive. Some might feel that their seats are "a bit far," but unless it’s a special occasion, I don’t think premium seats are necessary. The order for getting food is called starting from the premium seats, but since there were few people in the premium seats and there are two food serving areas, I only waited about five minutes. You might wait 20 to 30 minutes before being called, but since it’s a trip, I think chatting and having fun will make the time fly by. Once you get your food, you won’t have to wait in long lines for refills.
初ルアウ、家族7人みんな楽しめました!
参加前はコストパフォーマンスを考えると高くて余り期待できないかなと思いましたが総合的に結果満足です。
あくまで個人的な意見ですが、次の参加者の参考の為にあまり書込みが無い内容を多めに、少しだけ細かく記載します。
会場のヒルトンへはレンタカーで行きましたが、パーキングはセルフパーキングとバレーパーキングが利用できます。
私は17時15分の開場に遅刻した為、バレーパーキングで車を預け時間短縮の最後の悪あがき(笑)
バレーパーキングだからヴァリデーション(駐車料金割引もしくは無料)を受けても、ある程度高い駐車料金を払う覚悟をしました。
しかし、終了後に車を引き取るとバレーパーキングでも無料でした!! でも、チップは忘れずに渡しましょう。
レンタカーで行かれる方はバレーパーキングをお奨めします。
車を預ける際に宿泊ゲストかビジターか聞かれますので「ビジター、ルアウショー」と言えば英語が苦手でも大丈夫!!
ショーの終了後に会場スタッフからヴァリデーションのシールを忘れずに貰ってください。
ショーの終了後もヒルトン内で駐車料金を気にする事無く買い物も出来ちゃいます。
会場入りは遅刻しているので当然待ち時間なし(笑)
遅刻すると直接会場まで行く為、ホテル宿泊者意外で初めての方は必ず迷います(笑)
セルフパーキングビルの横にある「レインボーバザール」というショッピング街の中からエスカレーターで会場まであがって行きますので集合時間に遅刻した方は注意してください。
案内された席は一番端のテーブルでしたが、テーブルはステージをコの字に囲むようになってるのでスタンダード席でも迫力満点で観賞できました。
席によっては「ちょっと遠い」と感じる人もいると思いますが、特別な場合で無い限りプレミアムシートの必要性は無いと思います。
料理を取りに行く順番もプレミアムシートから案内されますが、プレミアムシートの参加人数が少なかった事と、料理の配膳箇所が2箇所ある事で、5分程度の待ち時間で済みました。
案内されるまでに20~30分待つこともあると思いますが、せっかくの旅行ですので楽しくおしゃべりをしていれば苦になる時間ではないと思いますよ。
一度料理を取ってしまえばお替りの際に長い列に並ぶ事はありません。

The weather was perfect, and I had a wonderful time. It felt amazing. I had read in the reviews that I might get wet, so I brought a change of clothes, but perhaps because the waves were calm, I didn't get wet at all. It turned out we were the only Japanese people there, which was actually nice. I couldn't communicate in Japanese at all... The meeting place was completely different from what was written. I was glad I had allowed plenty of time, but if I had been cutting it close... The actual yacht was located near the Sheraton. The cocktails were delicious. Everyone I went with was very satisfied. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to go on this again.
天候にも恵まれ、優雅な時間を過ごせました。
最高に気持ちよかったです。
クチコミにも濡れるとあったので、着替えを持って行きましたが、波が穏やかだったからか、全く濡れませんでした。
やはり日本人は私達だけでした。それが逆によかったです。
日本語は全く通じませんでしたが…
集合場所が書いてある場所と全然違います。余裕を持って動いていたのでよかったですが、ギリギリだったら…
実際ヨットがあったのはシェラトン前あたりでした。
カクテルもおいしかったです。
一緒に行ったみんなが大満足でした。
またハワイに行く事があったらまた乗りたいと思います。

We had purchased VIP tickets and from the time we walked in to the time we left we were treated as VIP's. Every staff member paid attention to every detail during the evening. Entertainment was awesome especially Michael Jackson. Steven Tyler and Elvis were amazing... Madonna not as good as the others. Entertaining evening and enjoyed ourselves immensely.
