All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

My father really wanted to participate, so I was looking for an event that was accessible on foot from our accommodation, and I was able to find just the right one.

At first, I hesitated because the dinner package was a bit pricey, but I thought it would be a great memory for my father, so I booked a Golden Seat, even though I didn't go for the Diamond option.

Since seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, I recommend lining up early. We were actually guided to the front row, where we could feel the heat of the flames and enjoy the show up close. It might have been a bit too close for taking commemorative photos, though...

I think my father was very satisfied and it became a wonderful memory for him.

父親が是非参加したいということで、宿泊地から徒歩でアクセス可能なイベントを探していたら、ちょうど見つけることが出来ました。

最初はディナー付きでもいい値段するなぁと躊躇してましたが、父親のいい思い出になるならということで、ダイヤモンドまではいきませんでしたがゴールデンシートで予約しました。

先着順で席に案内されるので、早めに並ぶ事をお勧めします。
実際は炎の熱さが伝わる最前列に案内され、迫力満点でかぶり付きでショーを見ることが出来ました。
記念の写真を撮るには少し近すぎたかもしれませんが…

父親も大満足でいい思い出になったと思います。

As soon as I arrived at the airport, they were waiting for me and quickly handled my bags. The driving was safe, and I had no unpleasant experiences at all. The car was clean and comfortable.

空港に着くやいなや、すぐに待っててくれてバッグもてきぱきと運んでくれた。安全運転で嫌な思いは全くなかったです。車もきれいにしてあり快適でした。

I was able to go to the Rock-A-Hula Luau green room package. I got to go explore backstage and get a tiny glimpse of how all the action happens. I also got to take a picture with Michael Jackson before the show. The staff and crew members were very kind and made sure that everything was to my liking. I described this show as a Luau like no other because it was a Luau with a twist. All the music were the classics from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the local culture included into the dance routine and into the stage outfits. The show also featured a local girl with a beautiful voice. For those who would like to watch a Luau in cushioned chairs and indoors I would definitely recommend this Luau to you!

First, the driver arrived about 30 minutes late, which was nerve-wracking. Moreover, I was asked for a tip that was supposed to be included in the fare. I was also criticized for the amount I paid. It was the worst experience.

まず、集合時間より30分ほど遅れてドライバーが来てハラハラ。
しかも料金に含まれているチップ代を要求されました。払った金額にもこれだけかとケチつけられました。
最悪でした。

The pickup was about 20 minutes late, which made me anxious, but they apologized properly for the delay, which I appreciated.
Although they didn't speak Japanese, there was a Japanese instruction manual, so it wasn't a problem.
The time spent was longer than I expected, and I was satisfied.
The weather was nice, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully.

ピックアップの時間が20分くらい遅れて、不安になりましたが、遅れたこともきちんと謝ってくれて、好感が持てました。
日本語は通じませんが、日本語の説明書があり問題ありませんでした。
上がってる時間は、思ったより長く感じられ、満足です。
お天気も良く、ダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見えました。

I experienced a group lesson. We started practicing on small waves, and once everyone was able to ride them, we challenged ourselves with the bigger waves further out. The staff were also very accommodating, making it a great memory.

グループレッスンで体験しました。
最初は小さな波で練習して、みんなが乗れる様になったら沖の大きな波にチャレンジ出来ました。
スタッフの方も柔軟な対応で良い思い出になりました。

I splurged a little and made a reservation for a VIP seat by the stage. First, we took photos with the star (playing the role of Elvis Presley), then enjoyed some snacks while sipping Mai Tais at the VIP welcome reception. We entered our seats next to the stage through the VIP entrance, and started our meal from the menu in the attached photo. The show began around the time we finished eating.

We enjoyed performances by Johnny Fortuno as Elvis Presley, Corey Melton as Michael Jackson, and Siena Sousa (a singer-songwriter based in Honolulu), along with hula dancing by Rock-a-Hula dancers. The highlight was the fire knife dance, and we were thoroughly entertained in the best seats, leaving us very satisfied. Initially, I thought it was a bit pricey, but after receiving a 10% discount, I was very pleased with the experience and the content.

少し奮発して、ステージサイドVIP席で予約をしました。
最初にスター（プレスリ役）の人との写真撮影、その後VIPウェルカムレセプションでマイタイを飲みながらおつまみをいただき、VIP専用口からステージ横の席へ、添付写真のメニューの食事開始、食事が終わったころにショーが始まりました。
エルビス・プレスリー by ジョニー・フォーテューノ、マイケル・ジャクソン by コーリー・メルトン、シエナ・スーザ (ホノルルを拠点にするシンガー・ソングライター)による歌とロック・ア・フラダンサーによるフラダンス、圧巻は
ファイアーナイフダンスと盛りだくさんで飽きることなく一番良い席で大満足の鑑賞をすることができました。
最初は少し高い思っていましたが、10%割引きしてもらって、内容もよく大満足でした。

I used this service to travel from Oahu to Maui for work. It's convenient and helpful because it's affordable, reliable, and they pick you up directly from your hotel. If you're traveling with four people, there might be better options, but for one or two people, this seems to be the best choice. On the way back, I used The Bus, but it runs infrequently, so compared to that, the shuttle is more convenient.

オアフからマウイへ仕事に向かうために利用しました。低料金で正確であり直接自分のホテルに迎えに来てもらえるので便利で助かります。四人だったりした場合は他の方法の方がお得なこともあるようですが一人二人はこちらが良さそうでせす。帰りはザ・バスを利用しましたが本数が少なく比べるとシャトルが便利です。

I have used this service several times, and I especially recommend this plan for solo travelers. This time, the flow was: pick-up at the hotel → stopping by other hotels to pick up other guests → heading to the airport. The only downside is that you arrive at the airport quite early, considering the traffic.

今まで何度か利用していますが、1人の場合はとくにこちらのプランはオススメです。今回も、ホテルでの迎え→他のお客さんの迎えのためのに他のホテルに立ち寄り→空港という流れでした。渋滞等を考慮して、空港にかなり早く着いてしまう点だけが難点です。

The voucher mentions that there may be a delay of 5 to 10 minutes. It also states to call if the bus does not arrive after 15 minutes. This time, there was no sign of the bus for about 20 minutes, so I returned to the hotel to make the call. We had disabled phone usage on our local SIM and were using Line via Wi-Fi, so I asked the hotel staff to make the call for me. Just as the call connected, my husband informed me that the bus had arrived, and I rushed back. However, according to my husband, when he mentioned that I had gone back to the hotel to call, the staff seemed displeased, responding with something like, "It's not that late, is it?" Since it was Saturday, I think the roads were congested, but while we had some time to spare for our flight, the American couple waiting with us seemed to be quite anxious and frustrated.

バウチャーには5から10分遅れる可能性があることの記載はあります。15分以上来ない場合には電話をするようにとも記載があります。
今回、20分程度来る様子がなく、電話をするために一旦ホテルに戻りました。私たちはローカルOFFで電話は利用出来ないようにしていて、Wifi経由でLineを使用していたので、電話連絡はホテルの窓口の人にお願いをしました。ちょうど、電話が通じた時にバスが来たと主人から連絡があり、すぐに戻りましたが、主人曰く、私がホテルに電話に戻ったと話したら「そんなに遅れてないでしょ」という感じで不機嫌な様子だったそうです。
土曜日だったので、道が混んでいたこともあると思いますが、私たちは飛行時の時間に余裕はありましたけど、一緒に待っていた米国人夫妻は余裕がそれほどなかったようで、イライラされていました。

At first, I was anxious, but in the end, I had a lot of fun and was smiling. It does take a toll on your stamina though (^_^;). Oh, to my sushi-loving friend Cooguy, the kanpyo is not made from daikon but from "yugao fruit." I mistook it for dried daikon. I'm sorry! When you come to Japan, please eat lots of your favorite sushi (*^_^*).

初めは不安でしたが、最後は楽しくてニコニコでした。体力は奪われますけど(^_^;　あ、お寿司大好きなCooguyへ。かんぴょうは、大根ではなく「夕顔の実」でした。切り干し大根と勘違いしてました。ごめんなさい！日本に来たら、大好きなお寿司たくさん食べてくださいね(*^_^*)

This is my nth time using it, but personally, I recommend it as it's no different from opting for the more expensive tour. There are a wide range of time slots available, and I will use it again.

何度目かの利用になりますが、個人的にはツアーの高いオプションで頼むのと変わりないのでオススメです。時間帯も幅広いしまた利用させていただきます。

On my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to see an authentic hula dance show, so I booked this VIP course. I was excited as soon as I walked on the red carpet, and the welcome drink followed by dinner at the VIP seats was delightful. The lobster, along with the main steak and salmon, was satisfying in both volume and service. It was also great to be smoothly guided through the VIP entrance.

The show started with a surprise when a man was lowered upside down right in front of us (even though I had heard about it beforehand). The hula and Polynesian dances were of outstanding quality, and I was captivated by the professional performances. The dancers were incredibly sharp! The impersonations of Elvis and Michael were very well done, and the songs were perfectly suited to our generation (in our 60s), allowing us to enjoy the show from start to finish. The fireman show, where they handled flaming torches, left me in awe—how could they hold those?! I was overwhelmed the entire time.

I also purchased a photo taken with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to come back to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

初めてのハワイ旅行で、本場のフラダンスショーを見てみたいと思い、こちらのVIPコースを予約してもらいました。まず通されるレッドカーペットに気持ちが盛り上がり、ウェルカムドリンクからの、VIP席でいただくディナー。ロブスターをはじめ、メインのステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームもサービスも満足いくものでした。VIP用入り口からスムーズに案内していただけたのもよかったです。
ショーは、まず目の前に降りてきた逆さ吊りの男性に驚き（事前に聞いていたのに）、
フラ、ポリネシアンダンスはクオリティが素晴らしく、プロのパフォーマンスに釘付けになりました。ダンサーのみなさんの身体のキレがすごい！ エルビス、マイケルのモノマネも、非常に上手く、また私たちの年代（60代）にがっちり合った曲ばかりで、最初から最後まで楽しめました。 火のついたたいまつを操るファイアーマンショーは、目の前で見ても、何故あれを持てるのか！？ 終始圧倒されました。
マイケルと一緒に撮った写真も購入して、とっても良い思い出になりました。また、ハワイに来る際には観にきたいと思います。

I utilized the service on October 19. On that day, there was a parade held every year, and the bus arrived at our hotel more than 30 minutes late from the scheduled time. The driver did his best to manage the situation and delivered us to each departure gate, allowing us to board our flight safely, but it was quite hectic. Since the parade is something that is known in advance, how about allowing more time than usual for the pickup?

10月19日を利用しました。
当日は、毎年パレードが催されており、バスは集合時間より30分以上遅れて私たちのホテルに到着しました。
運転手さんが一生懸命対処され、それぞれの出発口まで送り届けてくれて、飛行機には無事乗ることが出来ましたが、かなり慌ただしかったです。
パレードは事前に分かっている事なので、通常のお迎えより時間に余裕を持たせてはいかがでしょうか？

I have used this service before. I forgot how I used it, but this time I was traveling alone and was able to ask for directions in Japanese to get to the pickup point. I requested to be taken to my hotel, but you can also get dropped off at Ala Moana Center before entering Waikiki. I think it's a good option for killing time if you arrive early in the morning.

以前も利用しました。どう利用したかは忘れてしまってましたが今回は1人旅行でしたが乗り場まで日本語で聞きながらいけました。
ホテルまで送ってもらうために依頼しましたがワイキキに入る前にアラモアナセンターでおりたりできます。早朝についてしまったときなど時間つぶしにはよいと思います。

After boarding the cruiser and heading out about ten minutes, we started in order. Since we were going to do it, we chose the highest course. As we sat on the bench together and lifted our bodies, we floated back and gradually rose higher and higher. There were moments when it shook violently, causing a sense of fear, but the breathtaking views made us forget all that. Looking at the sparkling blue sea and sky with Diamond Head in sight, the experience ended in no time. I highly recommend the highest course if you're going to do it. The feeling of fear probably isn't much different. Lastly, since you can dip your lower body in the sea, wearing swim trunks is recommended.

クルーザーに乗り十分程沖に出て順番にスタート
どうせやるならと一番高いコースへ。
ベンチに2人で腰掛け身体を浮かした瞬間、後ろにふわっと浮いてどんどん上に上がって行きます。たまに激しく揺れて恐怖を感じる瞬間もありましたがとにかくそれを忘れる程の絶景。とにかくキラキラ輝く青い海と空にダイヤモンドヘッドを見ているとあっという間に終わりが来ました。やるなら一番高いコースがオススメです。たぶん恐怖感に大差ありません。最後に海に下半身をつけられるので下は海パンがオススメです。

All I can say is it was exactly what we wanted. Great Great and Great!

I was right to do it with my friends ^ ^
It was so much fun!!!!!!!
I want to do it again when I come to Hawaii~ ^ ^

友達とやって正解でした^ ^
とても楽しかったです！！！！！
またハワイにきたらやりたい〜^ ^

I was a bit worried about parasailing since I'm not good with heights, but my sister really wanted to try it, so I decided to give it a shot!!! At first, I was scared, but once we went up, I was amazed by the incredible view☆ I asked the staff to take pictures from below (which costs extra), but once we were up there, I realized I had some spare time and regretted not bringing my phone with me, haha. I really wanted to take pictures from the sky too!!!

The landing was also handled well, and it was soooo much fun☆ Next time I go, I definitely want to bring my phone up with me and challenge myself again (^ー^)

パラセーリングで、高いところが苦手で初めはどうかな。。。と思っていたのですが、妹からのしたいという希望があり挑戦してみました！！！初めは怖かったけど、上に上がったら最高の景色に感動しました☆下からの写真はスタッフさんにお願いしたのですが(有料です)、上に上がったらいがいと余裕もあり携帯を持っていけばよかったと後悔w　上空からの写真も撮りたかったーーー！！！
着水もしてもらって、とーーーっても楽しかったです☆
次に行ったときもは、しっかり携帯も上空に持っていってチャレンジしたいと思います(^ー^)

This is my second time in Hawaii! This time, my wife and I went parasailing for the first time.

We had a great time with two other Japanese couples and a family with a Japanese wife, making a total of four groups.

The pickup was on time and very close to the hotel, which was easy to find.

It was early in the morning in mid-October, but the wind felt nice as we went higher and higher, and my wife and I were super excited to see the boat getting smaller!

The view of Waikiki Beach and the famous hotels from the ocean was truly amazing!

The price was reasonable, but tips are separate, so be sure to prepare for that!

ハワイは2回目！今回は思いきり遊ぶぞということで妻と初パラセーリングでした。

同じ日本人カップル2組と奥様が日本人のご家族と計4組で当日は楽しませてもらいました。

迎えも時間通りにホテルのすぐ近くまで来てくれてわかりやすかったです。

10月の中旬の朝一番からでしたが風も気持ちよくドンドン高くなっていき、ボートが小さくなる姿に妻とテンションマックスになりました！

沖から見るワイキキビーチや有名なホテルの景色も本当に最高でした！

お値段も手頃でしたがチップは別なので用意は必要ですよ^_^

It was really great. There were a lot of dishes, but it was a bit difficult to line up. The show was wonderful.

すごく良くよかったです。料理は沢山ありましが、並ぶのが少し大変でした。ショウは素晴らしいものでした。

I didn't use a rental car, so the shuttle bus was very helpful. Last time I didn't make a reservation, but this time I did. I got a bit lost at the exit, but I managed to arrive at the reception and was taken to my accommodation. Thank you very much.

私はレンタカーを利用しないので、送迎シャトルバスは助かります。前回は予約をしなかったので、今回は予約をしてきました。出口で迷いましたが何とか受付に到着し、宿泊先に送ってもらいました。ありがとうございました。

It was the best experience! The staff were very kind, which was great. You can see all of Waikiki, and the blue ocean was wonderful.

最高の経験でした！
スタッフの方がとても親切だったので良かったです。
ワイキキを一望できるし青い海も素敵でした。

I participated in a class starting at 3 PM. After watching a video at the shop on the first floor of the hotel, we walked to the ocean. We practiced on land before taking turns surfing. There were about 10 people in the group lesson, with 3 instructors. They taught us while occasionally mixing in some broken Japanese. For now, everyone in my family was able to stand up. As for whether we were actually riding the waves, that's a bit questionable... I was able to enjoy surfing in Hawaii!

15時からのクラスに参加しました。ホテル1階のお店でビデオを見てから歩いて海へ。陸で練習してから順番に波乗り。グループレッスンで10人くらいいました。先生は3人。時々片言の日本語混ぜながら教えていただきました。取りあえず家族は皆立つことは出来ました。波に乗っているかというと少しあやしいかな‥
ハワイでサーフィンを楽しむことができました〜

This was my third experience with parasailing (the first in Hawaii). The height of 150 meters was exhilarating! The deep blue color of the ocean below was something I had never seen before, and it was truly moving. After enjoying a brief aerial float, I plunged into the sea, and I couldn't help but laugh.

After our turn, it seemed there was a malfunction with the equipment, although the cause was unclear. Unfortunately, the family waiting after us had to return to the port without being able to fly, and I felt very sorry for them.

パラセイリング自体は３度目の経験(ハワイでは初めて)でした。
さすがに150ﾒｰﾄﾙの高さは気分爽快！特に見下ろす海の色が深い青色で、あんな海の色を見るのは初めてで感動しました。しばしの空中遊泳を楽しんだ後は海にジャボン。思わず笑ってしまいました。
私たちの順番が終わった後、原因ははっきりしませんでしたが器具に不具合が生じたらしく、後に控えていた親子は飛べないまま港に帰ることになり、彼らには大変気の毒でした。

It was my first time flying with Hawaiian Airlines, and the check-in counter was hard to find. There was a situation where all the Japanese passengers got off at the Hawaiian Airlines section for flights to the mainland United States due to the driver's explanation in only English. Fortunately, I noticed it by looking at the display board, but I never expected that the Hawaiian Airlines counters would be separated.

初めてのハワイアン航空で、カウンターが分かりにくいところでした。
英語のみ話す運転手さんの説明で、日本人たちはアメリカ本国行きのハワイアン航空ところで全員下りてしまうというトラブルがありました。
わたしが掲示板を見て気づいたからよかったものの、まさかハワイアン航空のカウンターが分かれているなんて思いもしませんでした。

As the title suggests, I was nervous watching others ride, but once I actually got on, it felt amazing. The pilots were also really funny, and I was able to laugh the whole time I was on board.

However, I think it's better to have a light meal before riding, as the boat can sway quite a bit, especially with the wind.

タイトルの通りで、他の人が乗っているのをみて、緊張しましたが、実際に乗ってみると、最高に気持ち良かったです。
また、操縦士さんたちもとっても面白い人たちで、乗っている間、ずっと笑っていられました。

ただし、風が吹けば船の移動も含めてかなり揺れるので、乗る前の食事は軽めにしておいたほうがいいと思います。

I was picked up from the airport and taken to the condominium. I'm glad I arrived smoothly.

空港からコンドミニアムまで送迎して頂きました。
スムーズに到着して良かったです。
^_^ ^_^ ^_^

I have been using it every time recently. The prices are affordable and the reservation process is easy, which is helpful. This time, the front of the car had a luggage rack, and I could clearly see the driver pushing the luggage with their foot, which was a bit concerning.

最近毎回利用してます。料金も安く予約も簡単なので助かります。今回車内前方が荷物棚になっていて、ドライバーさんが足で荷物を押すのが丸見えでちょっと気になりました。

I attended Rock-A-Hula for the first time this past week and it was really entertaining! I went with a couple friends and we chose the Green Room Tour. With this package we were sat at a stage-level table so we were closest to the performers. The three course meal included lobster, beef tenderloin, salmon and was completed with a yummy mac-nut pineapple gelato. The cocktails were really good, my favorite was the lychee martini! It was really fun to be able to take photos with Michael Jackson before the show and they also offered us a complimentary glass of champagne. The show was very exciting and entertaining; my favorite performer was the local artist Meliana. All of the dancers, musicians, and singers were very talented and seemed like they all had a ton of fun up on stage. Overall, it was a great night and I would recommend it to anyone on vacation wanting a fun and entertaining night out.
