Each performance was wonderful, and the content was very Hawaiian, which made me excited. I had seen it in Japan before, but it was completely different, and I was absolutely right to go see it.

一つ一つの演目の素晴らしさもですが、
内容がハワイらしく、ワクワクしました。
日本でも観たことがあったけど、全く違って、観に行って大正解でした。

I'm glad I made a reservation for a seat. The staff were numerous and kind. It was a wonderful performance! I'm glad I watched it!

ちゃんと席を予約して行って良かったです。
スタッフの方も沢山いて親切でした。
素晴らしいパフォーマンス！
観てよかった！

On my first trip to Hawaii, I enjoyed cocktails while watching shows featuring Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, fully immersing myself in the Hawaiian night. The entertainment was outstanding and very enjoyable. My wife even participated in hula dancing. The buffet had so many options that I couldn't finish it all, and I was more than satisfied.

初めてのハワイ、マイケルジャクソンやエルビスプレスリーのショーを観ながらカクテルを飲みハワイの夜を満喫しました。
ショーはエンターテインメント抜群で楽しめます。
妻は、フラダンスにも参加して踊っていました。
ビュッフェも食べ切れない位の品数があり、十分満足出来ます。

There was no one at the counter near the inter-island baggage claim at the airport, and I had to go to another counter. Moreover, the staff only told me to wait, and the woman who assisted me seemed to be eating something and did not appear to be taking her job seriously.

空港のインターアイランドのバゲッジクレームの近くの窓口に誰もおらず、他の窓口まで行く必要があった。その上、窓口の対応は待てと言うだけで、対応した女性も何かを食べながらで、真面目に仕事をしているように思えなかった。

Overall, the experience was fantastic. My wife and I are certified divers, and we wanted to introduce our boys (13 and 17) to the world of scuba diving without the time commitment of a full certification course. This introductory dive was relaxed and a great way to get them underwater without the need for certification. We wanted to gauge their interest before committing to the certification process. I can see scuba diving in their future.

While the underwater sights weren’t as abundant as you might find while snorkeling in surrounding areas, this experience offered something different, the chance to hover beneath the surface and breathe underwater. Our instructor, Alex, was fantastic and incredibly supportive throughout the adventure. I highly recommend this as a quick and enjoyable way to experience scuba diving.

After the reception, you can take photos with the cast. Once you are shown to your seat, you can enjoy live performances of Hawaiian songs while having a drink. After that, there was a buffet dinner. There were many dishes that suited Japanese tastes, and everything was very delicious. The roast beef, in particular, was tender and excellent. The desserts were also plentiful, including fruits, cakes, and ice cream, which made for a very satisfying experience.

The show featured hula dancing, rock music, and fire dancing, and it was very enjoyable. I think it was something that the whole family could enjoy. It became a wonderful memory of a night in Hawaii.

受付の後キャストとの写真撮影ができます。席に案内されるとドリンクをいただきながら、ハワイアンソングの生演奏を楽しめます。その後ビュッフェディナーでした。日本人の好みに合う味付けのものが多く、とてもおいしくいただきました。特にローストビーフは柔らかくて最高でした。デザートもフルーツやケーキ、アイスクリームなど充実していて大満足でした。
ショーはフラダンス、ロック、ファイアーダンスと盛りだくさんでとても楽しめました。
家族みんなが楽しめる内容だったとおもいます。ハワイの夜のよい思い出になりました。

It was an enjoyable 80 minutes filled with humor and thrills! The venue isn't very large, so I think you can see well even from the back seats, but I was seated right in the middle of the center section, which made it very easy to see! It's fun for families as well.

ユーモアもスリルもあり楽しい80分でした！
会場はそんなに大きくはないので
後ろの席でもよく見えると思いますが
ちょうど中心部の真ん中の席だったので
とても見易くて良かったてます！
ファミリーでも楽しめます

Nick was AWESOME! We went as a family (child age 11) and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I went on my honeymoon with my husband ♡ I was very satisfied with Michael's show, which I loved, and the powerful fire dance 💯✨️

There was also a moment when everyone danced the hula, and it was a lot of fun 🙆‍♀️✨️

I definitely recommend it when you go to Hawaii!

夫とハネムーンで行きました♡
大好きだったマイケルのショーも
迫力満点のファイヤーダンスも大満足でした💯✨️

フラダンスをみんなで踊る場面もあり、とても楽しかったです🙆‍♀️✨️

ハワイに行く際にはぜひおすすめです！

Just go ahead and fly!

The captain and the staff are filled with the desire to share this refreshing experience.

Depending on the situation, regarding the key weight of 80kg, we were able to clear it together as a group of three (parent + child + child) and fly together.

とりあえず飛んでください！

キャプテン始めスタッフは、この爽快感を是非共有したいという想いに満ちています。

状況にもよりますが、鍵となる80kgに関しては、私たちは3人(親+子+子)合計でクリアして一緒に飛ばせていただきました。

It was the best experience. Even if you're not good at English, you can enjoy it, and if you're not good with heights, it's not a problem. I think it's an activity that you can easily experience since you don't have to get into the seawater.

最高の体験でした。英語が苦手でもたのしめますし高所が苦手でも問題ありませんでした。海水に浸かることもなかったので気軽に体験できるアクティビティだと思います。

The hotel is within Hilton Grand Vacations, but since it was Waikikian, I wanted to get off in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but I got off at the Grand Islander, which was a bit disappointing. Was there an option to get off in front of the Ilikai Hotel? I missed the chance to ask at the airport because there was no one who could speak Japanese.

ホテルは、ヒルトングランドバケーション内ではあるのですが、ワイキキアンでしたので、イリカイホテル前で降りたかったのですが、グランドアイランダーで降りたので、ちょっと残念でした。イリカイホテルの前は？選択肢にあったのでしょうか？
空港で日本語をできる方がおらず聞きそびれてしまいました。

It was an early morning participation, but the weather was nice, and the driver was very lively and engaging. We returned on time and made it to the hotel breakfast. It was great. The sunrise from Diamond Head was amazing.

早朝参加でしたが、天気も良く、ドライバーさんもとても元気にお話ししてくれました。帰りも時間通りでホテルの朝食にも間に合いました。とても良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドからの朝日最高でした。

I always use this service, but this time the shuttle bus was about the size of a van, and with so many people, I felt it was quite cramped inside. I noticed that the comfort level varies depending on the size of the vehicle.

いつも利用させて貰ってるんですが、今回はシャトルバスの大きさがバン程度であり、人数も多く車内がかなり狭いと感じました。
車の大きさによって快適さが違うと感じました。

The shuttle bus arrived almost on time. The driver was Japanese, and he handled the luggage carefully during both pickup and drop-off. I would like to use this service again next time.

ほぼ定刻通りにシャトルバスが到着。日本人のドライバーさんで、荷物も丁寧に受け取り、受け渡しをして貰えました。また次回も利用したいと思います。

I enjoyed my first parasailing experience. The captain and crew were fun, and even though there were times when I struggled to understand their English, they playfully pointed it out. Parasailing was amazing with the blue ocean stretching below me; it felt incredible! I definitely want to experience it again!

初パラセーリングを楽しみました。
キャプテンとクルーの方々楽しくて、うまく英語が聞き取れないところがあって動作がもたもたした所があったのですが、そこを面白く突っ込んでくれたりしました。
パラセーリングは眼下に青い海が広がり凄く気持ちよかったです！
また体験したいと思います！

Cirque du Soleil was something I had only seen in Japan, and it had been a while. They incorporate comedic elements, so it never gets boring. Small children might be scared of the lighting and atmosphere.

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユは日本で見たのみで久しぶりでした。
お笑い要素も入れてくるので、飽きません。
小さい子供は照明と雰囲気に怖がる可能性あり。

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a wonderful experience. Even if you can't speak English, you'll manage just fine.

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが素晴らしい経験をさせてもらいました。英語が喋れなくてもなんとかなります。

The waiting time is longer than expected. The movement is somewhat bumpy. (I found it thrilling and fun!) As for the viewing...

待ち時間が思いの外、長いです。
移動はまぁまぁ揺れます。(僕はスリリングで楽しかったです！)鑑賞は・・・。

My family enjoyed the 1 hour boat ride and 15 minute parasail experience. The guides were safety oriented but also playful. The optional photo package for $40 is nice to have (80 photos + you get the SD Card).

The day we went, the weather was so nice. There were two other families on the boat and everyone had fun.

Expected to be “dipped” into the ocean.
Expect to have a great day!

It was a good experience overall - the plan they had with placed item was very helpful

The local guides were also very kind. The water was so clear that we could see various fish. There were whales further out, and we could see them a little. After diving, we could also see the boat going down for the next group to take their turn.

現地ガイドの人たちも親切でした。
海の透明度が高いので色々な魚を見ることができました。
沖の方には鯨がいて少し見えました。潜水後は次の人たちと交代するため、船が潜水していく様子も見られます。

I had a fulfilling evening with a show after the buffet!

It was helpful that the food was also written in Japanese! The vanilla ice cream was very delicious, and I want to eat it again!

ビュッフェの後にショーだったので充実した夕方を過ごせました！

ご飯は日本語でも書かれていたので助かりました！
バニラアイスがとても美味しくて、また食べたい！

My first Cirque du Soleil!
I saw it in Hawaii and was very satisfied!

The theme was Hawaii with many highlights, and since I wouldn't have the opportunity to see it in Japan, I decided to book it! The seats were around the middle, and the experience was truly impressive!

初めてのシルクドソレイユ！
ハワイで見てとても大満足でした！

テーマがハワイで見どころも多く、
日本にいても見る機会がないのでどうせなら！と申し込み、座席も真ん中あたりで大迫力でした！

We had a great time parasailing as a family of four.

My eldest son has autism. While he understands what is being said, he struggles to express his thoughts and feelings verbally, and he is classified as having a severe disability. However, he loves feeling the wind and cutting through it, so I decided to take the plunge and sign him up for this first experience.

When I informed the receptionist that we wanted a no splash experience, she kindly agreed and assured me that she would definitely communicate this to the captain. When we boarded the boat, the captain confirmed again whether my son was the one with a disability and if it was okay to avoid splashes. The assistant also encouraged my son, who seemed anxious, with phrases like "It's so much fun! It feels great! You'll be fine!" in simple Japanese.

Putting on the harness was not straightforward. My son, unsure of what to do, kept putting his feet in and out of the harness. The assistant remained patient and never showed any signs of frustration, asking him if he wanted to take a step back or if he wanted to come back to it later, waiting for his timing multiple times. I was truly grateful for that. Thanks to the kind assistant, my son began to trust him and accepted the assistant touching the harness without resistance.

The captain also made sure not to burden my son, frequently checking in with him and praising him with "Good job!" just for putting on the harness. Before we took off, both of them encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry, Mom! Just enjoy!" I was on the verge of tears. My son, who had been stiff and unresponsive on the boat, responded to my encouragement at 150 meters in the air, saying it felt nice and that the view was beautiful. Of course, we returned to the boat without any splashes as requested. My son looked relieved and refreshed, with a bright expression.

The parasailing was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii! Despite my son's challenges, he had a wonderful time soaring through the sky. I am extremely satisfied that he was able to have such a fantastic experience, thanks to the kind-hearted captain, the assistant, and the receptionists. Thank you very much!

パラセイリングを家族4人でお世話になりました。

長男は自閉症で、言っている事は分かりますが、自分の考えや思いを言葉で伝えてる事が難しく手帳も最重度です。
しかし風を感じる事や風を切る事が大好きなので、初体験させてみようと意を決して申込みしました。

NOスプラッシュでと受付のお姉さんに伝えると、快くokして下さり、必ずキャプテンに伝えますと言って下さいました。
いざ乗り込むと、キャプテン(船長さん)からハンディがあるのは彼か？スプラッシュは辞めるでOKか、など再度確認して下さいました。アシスタントの方も、めっちゃ楽しい！気持ちいい！大丈夫！と片言の日本語で不安そうな長男を元気づけてくれました。
ハーネスを付けるのも一筋縄ではいきませんでした。
ハーネスをどうするのか、見通しが立たない長男は足をハーネスに入れたり抜いたり。
そんな長男にアシスタントの方は嫌そうな表情を全くせず、後にする？カムバックしてこようか？と、長男のタイミングを何度も待ってくれました。本当に有り難かったです。
そんな優しいアシスタントさんのおかげで長男も心を許し、アシスタントさんがハーネスを触る事に抵抗無く受け入れていました。

キャプテンも長男の負担にならないように、何度も声かけしてくれたり、ハーネスを付けただけなのにグッジョブ！と褒めて下さったり。飛ぶ前、ママ大丈夫だから楽しんで！とお2人からの声かけに、私が泣きそうでした。
船の上で顔も体も固まっていて声かけに反応薄かった長男は、上空150メートルで気持ち良いね！キレイな景色だね！など私からの声かけにキレイや気持ち良いと返事してくれました。
もちろんお願い通りスプラッシュせずに船に戻ってきました。長男は少しホッとした感じと爽快感で清々しい表情をしている様に見えました。

今回のハワイ旅行で1番のメインイベントのパラセイリング！障がいを抱えた長男でしたが、楽しく空中散歩できました。
本当に優しい心遣いできるキャプテンやアシスタントの方を始め、受付のお姉さん達のおかげでステキな体験を長男にさせてあげる事ができ大満足です。
ありがとうございました！

The check-in location was easy to find, and signing the agreement was very smooth. The boat I participated in had only my family and foreign guests, but it was very lively and fun! There was a lady with some mobility issues, but she was able to enjoy herself without any problems! We didn't get wet at all (if you want to get wet, it's okay to go deeper). It was a very valuable experience! The check-in staff, captain, and assistants all spoke English, but the conversations weren't too difficult, so it was fine! The agreement was in Japanese!

チェックイン場所もすぐに分かって、同意書のサインなどとてもスムーズでした。私の参加したボートは私達家族以外は外国の方だったけど、とても盛り上がり楽しかったです！足が少し不自由なマダムもいらっしゃいましたが、全然支障なく楽しんでいらっしゃいました！水に濡れることもなかったです（濡れたい場合は深刻すればOK）とても貴重な体験でした！チェックインの方、キャプテン、アシスタントしてくださる方みなさん英語ですが、そんなに難しい会話はないので大丈夫！
同意書は日本語でした！

The world of Cirque du Soleil!
The charm that captivates the audience is the best!
If the schedule fits, I definitely recommend it! 🤩

世界のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ！
見る人を惹き付ける魅力は最高です！
スケジュールがはまれば、是非、おすすめです❗🤩

It's a small theater... that's my impression upon entering.

Our seats were in the second row from the front, on the side, but once it started, there were performances overflowing beyond the stage, making it hard to know where to look. The entire theater became the stage.

小さな劇場だな…
入場時の印象です。

私たちの席は前から2列目、サイド側にかかったところでしたが、はじまると舞台以外にもパフォーマンスが溢れどこを見ていいかわからないくらい。劇場全体が舞台になりました。

It was more fun than I imagined. I experienced it with my 8-year-old child. When you reach the top, all you can hear is the sound of the wind and the voices of people flying; it's just a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. I didn't wear a hat because it might fly away, but I had no problem keeping my sunglasses on. They also check how much you want your feet to touch the water, so it's fine if you don't want to at all, or if you just want your toes or up to your backside. The staff also communicate well with gestures and broken Japanese, so there's no problem even if you don't speak Japanese. After it was over, it's a 3-minute walk to Whole Foods.

想像以上の楽しさでした。8歳の子供と体験しました。一番上まで上がると風の音と一緒に飛んでいる人の声しか聞こえない、とにかく景色を楽しむ数分間です。帽子は飛びそうだったので被りませんでしたが、サングラスは着けたままでも問題なかったです。途中で足を着水する程度も聞いてくれるので、なしでも良いし、足先だけかおしりまでなのか伝えれば大丈夫。お兄さんたちも英語が分からなくてもカタコトの日本語とジェスチャーで対応してくれるので問題ないです。
終わったあとホールフーズまで歩いて3分です。

This is a tour where you dive about 100 feet deep to observe fish and other marine life. You board a boat from the port of Waikiki and then switch to a submarine for the dive.

At first, there isn’t much to see and there are few fish, but as you get closer to a sunken airplane or ship, you encounter large schools of fish! After viewing one side, the submarine turns around to show the guests on the opposite side as well. Along the way, we also saw sharks and sea turtles swimming.

The guide's explanations are in English. I should have downloaded the Japanese guide in advance, but I forgot. However, the English explanations provide real-time descriptions of the situation, so I’m not sure if the Japanese explanations follow that. I think it’s better to try to listen to the English.

Before boarding the boat, they take photos which they develop and sell by the return trip. You can also download the data via QR code later, but that is also paid. I believe the experience of seeing the fish in person is more valuable than the photos, especially since you can see them without diving.

100ftほどの水深に潜り魚などを観察するツアー。ワイキキの港から船に乗り、海上で潜水艦に乗り換えて潜ります。

潜った当初は何もなく魚も少ないですが、沈んだ飛行機や沈没船の近くに来ると魚の大群が！片側が見た後は旋回して逆側のお客さんにも見せてもらえます。
途中、サメや海ガメが泳ぐ姿も見られました。

ガイドさんの説明は英語。事前に日本語のガイドをダウンロードすれば良かったのですが、忘れてました。ただ、英語の説明はリアルタイムの状況説明なので、日本語の説明がそれにならっているかは分かりません。頑張って英語を聞いた方が良いかと思います。

船に乗る前に撮影した写真を帰りまでに現像して売りに来ます。データはQRコードで後日でもダウンロードできますが、そちらも有料。
写真よりも実際に見る魚たちの方が貴重な体験だと思います。ダイビングせずとも見られるんですから。
