Waikiki
The number of Japanese participants was relatively small.
All explanations on the ship, including the types of drinks, were in English.
At the drink counter, they would speak slowly, asking, "Champagne? Beer? Mai Tai?" so you won't have any trouble even if you don't understand English.
There was also water and cola (or Pepsi).
My mother, in her 60s, didn't want to get seasick, so she stayed in the center of the ship and didn't drink alcohol. There were also Japanese people who were feeling seasick.
日本人の参加者は割合的に少なかったです。
船の中の説明は飲み物の種類等含め、すべて英語です。
飲み物のカウンターに行けば、「シャンパン?ビール?マイタイ?」など、
ゆっくり話してくれるので、英語がわからなくても困りません。
水とコーラ(かペプシ)もありました。
60代の母は船酔いしたくないので、船の中心部分でアルコール飲まずにしていました。船酔いしている日本人もいました。
If you're in Hawaii, you definitely want to experience marine sports. However, not everyone is able to be very active. But with a catamaran, it's a great option even for those who may not be as mobile. We experienced the evening cruise, and it was wonderful; we didn't have to worry much about sunburn and enjoyed the beautiful sunset while fully taking in the Hawaiian sea. Just be aware that the meeting point can be a bit tricky to find.
ハワイに来たからにはマリンスポーツは経験したいイベント。でも、皆が活発に動ける訳ではないですよね。でも、カタマランなら、そんな人にもお勧めできます。私たちは夕方の便を体験しましたが、日焼けもあまり気にならず、素敵なサンセットを見ながら、ハワイの海を存分に楽しめました。ただ、集合場所は少しわかりにくいので、注意してくださいね。
It didn't shake too much, and the sunset was beautiful, so that was nice. However, all the explanations were in English, so I felt a bit lost. Even though they said it was all-you-can-drink, there were people tipping every time they ordered more, and I wasn't sure what to do. But there were foreigners dancing, and I enjoyed the fun atmosphere overall.
そんなに揺れないし、サンセットは綺麗に見られたので良かった。
が、説明はすべて英語なので、理解できないとうーんʅ(◞‿◟)ʃという感じ。飲み放題と言いながら、お代わりのたびにチップ入れてる人もいて、どうしたら良いのかよくわからなかった(*´Д`*)
でも、踊り出す外人もいて、楽しい雰囲気は楽しめたので概ね良かった(^-^)
This time, I chose the Stage Side VIP Dinner Course for Rock of Ages, which I had been curious about for a while. After enjoying a Mai Tai and various snacks at the welcome reception, along with beautifully arranged fruit, we moved to our stage-side seats.
The dinner included a main lobster, salmon, steak, and salad, all served in just the right portions and delicious. We enjoyed the show while sipping drinks without having to move from our seats. The impersonators of Elvis and Michael, along with the female vocalist, were excellent in both singing and performance. The collaboration of hula dancing and rock and roll was captivating and left us very satisfied.
The cast also came down close to us, and there was a fire dance, making for a high-quality show that kept us excited the entire time. We were even able to take photos with the cast after the show. There were families with small children, so I thought it would be nice to bring my daughter’s family next time.
今回は前から気になっていたロック・ア・フラショーのステージサイドVIPディナーコースを選びました。ウエルカムレセプションでマイタイと各種おつまみや、お花仕立てのフルーツを頂いた後ステージサイドの席へ移動。
ディナーは、メインのロブスターにサーモン、ステーキ、サラダ等どれも程良い量で美味しく戴きました。席の移動もなくドリンクを飲みながらショーを拝見。エルビス、マイケル両そっくりさんと女性ボーカルは歌もパフォーマンスもうまく、ダンサーとのフラダンス、ロックンロールのコラボは魅力たっぷりで大満足。
キャストも近くに降りてきたり、ファイヤーダンスもありと休む間もないクオリティーの高いショーで大興奮のひと時でした。ショー後にキャストとの写真も撮れました。小さいお子様ずれの方もいたので、次回は娘家族も連れてきたいと思いました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.

The food was delicious, and the seating was right in front, which made me very satisfied! I had such a fun time. The lively atmosphere felt very much like being abroad, and I was really glad I came to Hawaii. The welcome drink was tasty, and I could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The fruit platter was cute, and everything was enjoyable from start to finish. The main dish, lobster, and the seasoning of the meat were just right, and I finished it all (laughs). It might have been a bit too much for Japanese people, but I was able to eat slowly, which was really nice. The show was loud, almost full, and even without understanding English, I enjoyed just watching it. I definitely want to make a reservation again next time! They also took photos for us, which became a memorable keepsake. Other Japanese guests seemed to be having a great time too, and since the location is facing Kalakaua Avenue, it was easy to find. I felt that the atmosphere is really important. Time flew by quickly. The Hawaiian vibe, the excitement of being abroad, and the food all resulted in complete satisfaction! I thought I might not need the photos, but it’s nice to have something tangible to remember it by. We could also take videos and photos, which made for fun memories!
お料理も美味しく、座席も目の前で大満足でした!すごく、楽しい時間を過ごせました。海外らしい盛り上がりで、ハワイに来て良かったなとすごく重いました(^^)ウェルカムドリンクも美味しく、アルコールとノンアルコールを選べたり、フルーツの盛り合わせも可愛く、最初から最後まで楽しかったです。メインのロブスター、お肉の味付けも丁度良く完食しました(笑)日本人には少し量が多かったかもですが、ゆっくり食べることができたのですごく良かったです(^^)ショーも大音量で、満席近く、英語がわからなくても、見てるだけで楽しめました(^^)次も、予約したいと思います!!写真も撮ってもらい、思い出に残るものとなりました。ほかの日本人の方もすごく楽しそうにしており、場所もカラカウア通りに面しているのでまようことなく行けました。雰囲気って、すごく大事なんだなぁと感じました☆時間がたつのが、早かったですね。ハワイらしさと、海外のテンション、そしてお料理、全てが満足となる結果でした!写真は要らないかな?と思いましたが、やっぱり形に残るものがあると良いですね(^^)ビデオ撮影や、写真を撮ることも出来たので、楽しい思い出となりました!!

Every time I go to Hawaii, I participated in the Catamaran Sunset Sailing (operated by a different company), but this time I took my first ride on "Mai Tai Catamaran." There was hardly any difference in the tour itinerary or the drinks served, and it was a great deal for just $6! I wanted to enjoy the sunset while listening to Hawaiian music, but the background music was more pop-oriented, perhaps reflecting the staff's preferences, similar to other companies.
ハワイに行く度、毎回カタマランサンセットセーリング(別社催行)に参加していましたが
今回はこちらの「マイタイカタマラン」に初乗船
ツアー行程もサービスされるドリンクにも殆ど違いは無く、わずか$6ですがお得でした♪
ハワイアンを聴きながらサンセットを見たかったのですが、BGMはスタッフの好みか、他社同様ポップ調でした
My daughter participated in a company trip with six people. She has joined this tour multiple times and always finds it enjoyable, so she recommended it to everyone, and they said it was incredibly fun as well. I'm glad her reputation has improved.
娘が会社の慰安旅行で6名で参加しました。娘はこのツアーに何度も参加していて、いつも楽しいので、皆さんにお勧めして参加したところ、やはり最高に楽しかったとのことでした。娘の株もあがって良かったです。
good service, perfect check in. relaxing cruise with very good service, very friendly crew.
Breathtaking monemts with sunset and skyline of Waikiki.
Great cocktails and other drinks, never stopp serving.
I went to the big show in Hawaii at the Royal Hawaiian Center!
First of all, it's easily accessible since it's located in the Hawaiian Center.
This time, I experienced the show from a VIP seat, which allowed me to enjoy a close-up view, and I also indulged in a course dinner for a luxurious experience.
The show features a rock vibe from the past, including performances of songs by Michael Jackson, as well as some calming Hawaiian tunes.
It's not just the singing; the powerful dances are also a must-see.
The show lasts about an hour, and you will be captivated the entire time—satisfaction is guaranteed. If you're going to see it, I highly recommend the VIP seats! It's definitely entertaining!
I was truly satisfied with the content, which exceeded my expectations!
I want to see it again!
ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあるハワイのビックショーに行ってきました!
まずはハワイアンセンターにあるのでアクセスが良いです。
今回はVIP席でショーを見ることになったので、かなり近くからの席の経験ができたのと、コースディナーも満喫することでリッチな体験ができました。
ショーの内容は昔のロックなテイストで、マイケルジャクソンなどをみたり、ハワイらしい落ち着いたテイストの曲などもあります。
歌だけではなく迫力満点のダンスなどにも要注目です。
ショーは約1時間。この1時間は魅力されっぱなしで満足すること間違いなしです。せっかく見るならVIP席をオススメします!絶対に面白いです!
期待以上の内容で本当に満足でした!
また見たいです!

I was torn between a traditional luau in the suburbs and this one, but I decided on the Rock-a-Hula show because it was within walking distance from the hotel and there was no need for bus transportation, plus the promotional price was tempting. I'm really glad I chose this one. First of all, the food was delicious! Unlike other dishes I've had in Hawaii, the seasoning was not too strong, just right, and although it was luxurious and plentiful, it wasn't greasy at all, so I finished it all quickly. There were also Japanese staff members in the hall who frequently checked in on us, which made me feel at ease. The content of the hula show was a great mix of traditional elements and some well-known songs from a bit earlier, so the time flew by without getting boring. The impersonators of Michael and Elvis were also very talented and entertaining. While some might say the show was short, I felt satisfied with the rich content. I hope to come back and see it again someday. Thank you very much! (´∀`*)!!!
ぎりぎりまで郊外の伝統的なルアウかこちらかで迷いましたが、ホテルから徒歩圏内でバス移動がないことと、モニター価格につられてロック・ア・フラショーに決めましたが、こちらに決めて本当に良かったです。まず、お料理が美味しい!今までハワイでさんざん食べたほかのお料理と違って味付けが濃くなく丁度よく、豪華で量も多いのですが油っこくないのでぺろっと食べてしまいました。ホールには日本人らしき従業員もおられて、こまめに声掛けをしてくれるので安心して過ごすことができました。フラショーの内容も、伝統的なものに少し前の有名な曲等を織り交ぜて飽きさせることなくあっという間に時間が経ちました。マイケルやエルビスのそっくりさんも
とても上手く演じていて楽しめました。ショーが短いという意見もありますが、内容が濃いので満足出来ました。いつかまた機会があったら見にきたいと思います。ありがとうございました(´∀`*)!!!

The music was pumping and it was so much fun! I was lucky enough to see a double rainbow clearly from one end to the other, and it was breathtaking! The sunset was also incredibly beautiful. I want to participate again!
音楽ガンガンでとっても楽しかったです!運良くダブルレインボーで端から端までクッキリ見れて感動しました!
サンセットもとーーっても綺麗。また参加したいです!
The sunset was wonderful, and the crew and fellow passengers were fantastic! My 9-year-old nephew, who was nervous about his first overseas trip until the day before, was thrilled and exclaimed, "Hawaii is so much fun!" They provided not only alcohol but also juice, making it enjoyable for everyone from 3 years old to those in their 70s! It's no surprise that there are people who participate every year!
サンセットも素晴らしく、クルーや同乗の皆さんのノリも最高!
前日までは初の海外旅行におののいていた9歳の甥がこのセーリングを機に「ハワイ楽しい!」と大はしゃぎでした。お酒だけでなく、ジュースも用意していただいているので3歳児から70代まで楽しめます!
毎年参加されてる方がいるのも納得!
At first, I had low expectations, but the entertainment was of very high quality and I really enjoyed it. One downside was that the spacing between the tables in the VIP section was narrow; I would have liked a bit more room.
最初はあり期待をしていませんでしたがエンターテイメントしてクオリティが非常に高く楽しめました。ちょっと残念だったのがVIP席のテーブル間隔が狭かった事、もう少し隙間がほしかった。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We appreciate your valuable feedback. We would like to work on improvements as a team for future challenges. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
After gathering at 16:30 and completing the procedures, you can spend time at the beach or inside the Outrigger, and then move to the boat at 16:45. You will be asked to take off your shoes, so I recommend wearing sandals that are easy to remove! Inside the boat, you will be barefoot. Since it’s a cruise where alcohol is served, I brought my passport for age verification, but I wasn't asked to show it. Depending on the wave conditions (it wasn't enough to make me seasick), the boat can sway quite a bit, so it’s better not to bring valuables if you plan to place your bags or belongings on the shelves inside the boat. There are benches where you can sit. All announcements are in English, but they will show you a Japanese instruction manual. (It seems to be shared with the day cruise, so the pricing explanation is slightly different.) The return is scheduled for 18:30, but on the day I participated, we returned to the beach at 18:45. There seems to be a restroom available, but I didn't use it, so I can't provide details.
Drinks included cocktails, champagne, wine, beer, and possibly Sprite and cola. Be careful not to spill since it can sway! Everyone was enjoying themselves, drinking and taking in the scenery. You can watch the sunset until the sun goes down, but be cautious with your hat as the sea breeze can be strong!
16:30集合で手続きした後はビーチやアウトリガー内で時間を潰して、16:45に船に移動します。靴は脱いでねー!と言われますのですぐ脱げるサンダルがよいと思います♪船内は裸足です。アルコールが飲めるクルーズなので年齢確認されるかとパスポート持参しましたが特に提示を求められることはありませんでした。波の状態により(酔うほどではなかったです)結構揺れますので、両手が空くバッグか荷物を船内の棚に置く場合は貴重品はなるべく持参されない方がよいかと。座っていられるベンチもあります。アナウンスは全て英語ですが、日本語の説明書を見せてくれます。(デイクルーズと共有のようで、ちょっと料金説明が異なりますが)18:30帰着ですが参加した日はビーチに戻ったのは18:45着でした。トイレも付いているようですが、使わなかったので詳細は不明です。
ドリンクはカクテルにシャンパン、ワイン、ビール、スプライトやコーラなどもあったようです。揺れるのでこぼさないように注意です!皆さんお酒を飲んだり景色を眺めたり思い思いに過ごされていて楽しめます♪サンセットも日が沈むまでずっと眺めていられましたが、海風が強いので帽子は飛ばされないようにご注意を!
I booked this trip based on the great reviews for a two-person journey with my mother, who loves cruising and sailing! We arrived a bit late and caused some inconvenience, but everyone was so kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the beautiful sea created the best memories. Since the boat sways quite a bit, I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are worried about getting seasick! If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again! 😊
クルージングやセーリングが好きな母との2人旅で、レビューの良かったこちらを予約しました!
少し遅れてしまい、迷惑をかけてしまいましたが、皆さん優しく迎えてくれてありがたかったです。綺麗な海からワイキキの景色とダイアモンドヘッドが見れて、最高の思い出になりました。
結構揺れがあるので、船酔いが心配な方は、酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします!
またハワイに行くことが出来たら絶対に、また参加したいです(^^)
Unfortunately, the sunset was obscured by thick clouds, but sailing while enjoying drinks with the cheerful staff was very pleasant! When night fell, we were able to see a big full moon, so I think it turned out well in the end.
I participated on the last day in Hawaii, which was a bit bittersweet, but it became a good memory.
It was difficult to find the meeting place. Following the directions, I went through the lobby of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel to get to the beach, but I couldn't find the booth and ended up wandering around. Also, although I made a reservation for two, I was told at the reception that it was booked for six, and they took a photo of my reservation details. I think it's a good idea to bring something that shows your reservation details just in case!
Additionally, please be careful as you will get quite wet when boarding and disembarking from the boat.
サンセットはあいにく雲が厚く見ることができませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフさんたちとお酒を飲みながらのセーリングはとても気持ちよかったです!夜になると大きな満月を見ることができたので、結果オーライかなと思います。
ハワイ最終日に参加し、ちょっぴり切なく、でも良い思い出になりました。
集合場所が分かりづらかったのは困りました。案内の通りにシェラトンワイキキホテルのロビーを通ってビーチへ出ましたが、ブースが見当たらず右往左往しました。また、2名で予約しましたが、受付では6名で予約されていると言われ、予約詳細画面の写真を撮られました。もしもの時のために、予約詳細が分かるものは持参した方がいいと思います!
また、船への乗り降りの際はかなり濡れますのでご注意ください。
You can set sail in the bright evening, watch the sunset, and then enjoy the sparkling night views of seaside hotels after the sun goes down. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.
夕方の明るい時に出航しサンセットを見たのち、日が落ちた後のキラキラした海沿いのホテルなどの夜景を楽しめます。ハワイの素敵な思い出になりました。
The weather was nice, but unfortunately, clouds appeared just as the sun was setting on the horizon, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset, which was very disappointing. The captain of the boat and the two staff members who were also the bartender were friendly and fun, but they didn't speak Japanese. However, since we weren't having difficult conversations, it was enough to enjoy the scenery while drinking and having fun on the yacht. This time, there were more waves than expected, and when we headed out to sea, it felt like a roller coaster, but that was enjoyable too.
お天気は良かったのに、太陽が水平線に沈む頃に雲が出てきてせっかくのサンセットが見られずとても残念でした。
船のキャプテンとクルー兼バーテンダーの2人のスタッフはフレンドリーで楽しい方でしたが、日本語は通じませんでした。ですが難しい話をする訳ではないので、景色を見ながらお酒を飲んでヨットを楽しむには十分です。
今回は思いの外、波のうねりがあり沖に向かって行く時はジェットコースターのようでしたがそれもまた楽しめました。
It was better than we thought it would be. We loved it.. recommend it!!!
Purchased our VIP package from the outset it was a great night good food fantastic entertainment and a very lovely waitress all made it a very special evening. The costumes were amazing and singers and dancers excellent a true taste of Hawaii and its culture along with a lot of happy memories of different musical stars we have
Last time when I wanted to jump on a catamaran, it was fully booked, so this time I made a reservation in advance despite some concerns about the weather.
We departed from the bright beach and enjoyed the sunset on the water! On the way back, we experienced the beautiful night view of Honolulu.
It was truly wonderful since we can't see the sunset every day. The woman who prepared the drinks provided prompt service and even offered refills without us having to ask.
Indeed, Japanese was not spoken, but it was not a problem at all. There were no noisy people, and no one was standing on the net.
以前にカタマランに飛び込みで乗りたいと言った時は満席で断られたので今回は天気の不安もある中、事前予約しました。
まだ、明るいビーチを出発して、洋上でサンセット!帰る時にはホノルルの夜景と素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
毎日、サンセットを拝めるわけではないので本当によかったです。
飲み物を用意してくれた女性もテキパキとサービスしてくれてこちらから言わなくてもおかわりの催促をしてくれました。
確かに日本語は通じないけど、なんの問題もないです。
騒がしい方は全くいなくネットの上に乗る人もいませんでした。
I participated in the tour for my wife, who loves hula. The location was convenient, being close to the hotel and having a shopping mall nearby. Above all, the entertainment from the show was excellent.
フラ好きの女房の母親の為にツアーに参加しました。
場所がホテルから近くショッピングモールも有り便利でした。
何よりショーのエンターテイメントが最高でした。

My boyfriend and I got this to see the fireworks. It was amazing, drinks were good, vibe was great, service was perfect. Casual attire. Barefoot cruise. Any age would enjoy it. I would recommend this to everyone.
I was wondering if the food wouldn't be good because it's a buffet, but the quality is high! The whole roasted pig and roast beef are really delicious. The show was also amazing, and the venue was lively, it was the best!
ブュッフェだからご飯が美味しくないのかなーと思っていたら、質が高いです!豚の丸焼き、ローストビーフも本当に美味しい。ショーもすごく会場が盛り上がり最高でした!

There were about two groups of Japanese participants, and most were from Europe and America. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it rained shortly after departure, but just before sunset, the sun peeked out, and although it wasn't a complete double rainbow, we could see one over the ocean. Your feet will definitely get wet, but it might be good to expect that getting wet from the rain can happen. When I went, there weren't any waves splashing onto the boat. You can store your bags and shoes on the back of the chairs, so that's fine. If you want to enjoy it even more, joining in with the European and American vibe can make it quite fun. The staff also helped to liven things up, and the cheerful music playing was a nice touch.
日本人参加者は2組程度、ほとんどが欧米の方でした。あいにくの曇り空で、出発直後に雨が降りましたが、日没直前に太陽がのぞき、洋上に完全ではないですが、ダブルレインボーが見えました。足は確実濡れますが、こんな風に雨で濡れることもあるのは想定した方が良いかもしれないですね、波が船にかかるって濡れる事はわたしのときはなかったです。荷物や靴は椅子の背もたれに入れられるので大丈夫ですよ。より一層楽しむなら欧米人のノリにのっかると、結構楽しくなってきます。スタッフも盛り上げてくれるし、ご機嫌な音楽も流れているのが良かったせです。
First and most important to me was the kindness and concern for my safety. The guys were perfect gentleman and treated me like I was their family. The sail was breathtaking! They went above and beyond to give us an experience we will not forget. It was beautiful and my pictures actually came out great! Thank you for a special memory. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Don’t hesitate to book this trip it will not disappoint you.
Swaying with the boat, holding my third Mai Tai, the sunset with Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline in the background was amazing.
船の揺れに身をまかせ、3杯目のマイタイを片手に、ダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキのビル群をバックに見た夕日は最高、感度ものでした。
Previously, I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran to see the sunset sinking on the horizon. I was moved then, so this time I boarded to watch the Friday fireworks at Hilton. Since Hilton Village is my regular accommodation, I had been watching the Friday fireworks from the beach and poolside in front of Hilton Village, but seeing the fireworks from the sea was something special. I sat on the port side, but when we started moving, I realized we were facing the opposite side of the beach and thought I might have made a mistake. However, we stopped facing the fireworks venue, so I had a good view. If you sit close to the bow, prepared to get splashed by the waves, you can see the fireworks well. The crew only spoke English but were kind. Because of that, I ended up drinking quite a bit—Mai Tai, beer, and white wine—and then I needed to go to the restroom, which was a bit of a problem. Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was a window on the port side, and when I went to check it out, I found that it was the restroom.
以前、水平線に沈む夕日を見にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗船しました。その時も感動しましたので、今回はヒルトンの金曜花火を見るために乗船しました。ヒルトンビレッジが常宿なので金曜花火はヒルトンビレッジ前の浜辺やプールサイドから見ていましたが、海上から見る花火はまた格別でした。左舷の席に座りましたが、走り出すと浜辺と反対側と気づき失敗したかなと思いましたが、花火会場に舳先を向けて止まったのでよく見えました。波を被るのを覚悟で舳先近くに座れば花火がよく見えます。クルーは英語しか話せませんが親切でした。そのためマイタイ、ビール、白ワインと結構飲んでしまいトイレに行きたくなり困ってしまいました。よく見ると左舷に窓があり、そこに潜る人を見つけ、見に行くとそこがトイレでした。
Since it was a VIP course, we started in a lounge-like area with Mai Tais and self-service snacks (such as prosciutto with pineapple, fruit skewers with melon, macadamia nuts, and potato chips). After that, we moved to our dining seats and enjoyed a course meal. We had informed Veltra in advance that we were bringing our one-year-old daughter, so a seat for her was also prepared.
During the meal, our daughter was able to participate in a treasure hunt game, which made her happy as she could walk around the venue (sitting still for the entire meal would have been boring for a one-year-old).
After the meal, the show began. With the VIP course, we could watch the show from our dining seats (on the first floor) while continuing to enjoy our drinks. For the regular course, it seemed that guests finished their meals outside the venue before entering the second-floor seating.
The show started with hula dancing, followed by an Elvis Presley impersonation show, a Michael Jackson impersonation show, and finally, fire dancing and hula dancing. All of it was wonderful, and we had a great time. I'm not sure if the quality of the Michael impersonation was high, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Last year, we watched a hula dance show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was a more traditional show that showcased Hawaiian culture without any sexy costumes (and that was good in its own way). In contrast, this show was a complete entertainment show with sexy and beautiful hula costumes, and it also allowed for a lively rock atmosphere, making us feel like we were in America! While I didn't know many of the songs, I still had a lot of fun.
Since there is a rock segment, the time for hula dancing isn't very long, so if you want to focus solely on hula dancing, I would recommend other shows. However, if you want to enjoy both American-style music and hula dancing, this show is highly recommended. The location is also at the Royal Hawaiian Center, so for those staying in Waikiki, it's within walking distance, which is a great point for efficient use of time.
VIPコースでしたので、初めにラウンジのようなところでマイタイとセルフサービスのおつまみ(生ハムパイナップル、メロン等の果物串、マカデミアナッツ、ポテトチップス)をいただきました。
それから、各自食事の席まで移動し、コース料理をいただきました。
我が家は1歳の娘連れであることをベルトラさんを通して事前に伝えていたため、娘の席も用意していただいていました。
食事の間に娘は宝探しゲームに参加させていただき、会場を歩くことができて喜んでいました。(1歳の娘にとって食事中ずっとイスに座っているのは退屈なので)
食事が終わると、ショーが始まります。
VIPコースは食事の席(1階席)でそのまま観覧するため、引き続き飲み物を飲みながら見ました。
普通のコースだと、会場の外で食事を終えてから2階席に入場していたようです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、エルビスプレスリーの(ものまね)ショー、マイケルジャクソンの(ものまね)ショー、最後にファイヤーダンスとフラダンスという感じで進みました。
どれもとても素敵で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
マイケルのものまねのクオリティーが高かったのかどうかは謎ですが(笑)、楽しめたのでありだと思います。
昨年はポリネシア・カルチャーセンターのフラダンスショーを見ましたが、そちらは、セクシーな衣装などはなしでハワイの文化をしっかり見せる正統派なショーという感じでした。(それはそれでよかったです)
それに対してこちらは完全なエンターテイメントショーで、フラダンスの衣装もセクシーで素敵で、同時に、ロックで盛り上がることもでき、「アメリカにきたって気がする!(笑)」という気分を味わうことができました。
知っている曲は多くありませんでしたが、それでもとても楽しめました。
ロックの時間がある分、フラダンスの時間は長くありませんので、フラダンスだけをじっくり見たい方は他のショーをお勧めしますが、アメリカっぽい音楽もフラダンスも両方楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、ワイキキに宿泊している方は徒歩で行けますので、時間が効率的に使えるのも良い点ではないでしょうか。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.

We departed about an hour before sunset and quickly headed out to sea. With a drink included in the price, we enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. I would love to go again on my next trip.
夕日の落ちる約1時間前に出発し、あっという間に沖へ。料金に含まれているドリンク片手に美しいハワイのサンセットを楽しみました。また旅行の際は乗りたいです。
