The driver was polite and it was great. It was a very good hike that we could do in two hours with elementary school children, going up and down. The weather was nice, and the view from the top was wonderful. There were also many elderly people and those with babies.

ドライバーさんが丁寧で良かったです。小学生子供連れて、２時間で、登って降りて来れる、とても良いハイキングでした。天気も良く、頂上からの眺めは素晴らしかったです。お年寄りも赤ちゃん連れの方もたくさんいました。

Almost walked out as show was late starting. But after show started it was great

Both the captain and the crew were very entertaining. My English is at a normal level, but they really got the conversation going! For $40, they will take photos with a DSLR camera. They came up with various creative ways to take pictures, and when I checked them after the experience, I was surprised by how many there were! They sent the photo data to my smartphone right away :) I also received the data on an SD card. If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate!

キャプテンもクルーの方もとっても面白かったです。英語は普通レベルの私ですが盛り上げてくれて会話が弾みました！40$で一眼レフで写真も撮ってくれます。写真の撮り方を色々工夫してくれていて、体験後に確認するとびっくりするほどありました！スマホに写真データをすぐ送っていただきました:)SDカードでデータも貰えます。またハワイに行くならぜひ参加したいです！！

We set off with about 12 people on the boat. There were only two groups of Japanese, including mine, but I had a lot of fun communicating a bit with the other groups. If you get seasick, it might be wise to be careful! The waves were a bit high that day...!

Photos are 137 for $40, and you can decide whether to take them on the boat or not. They take some really good pictures. (Another Japanese couple had a GoPro, so they didn't take any photos! There's no pressure, so it's totally fine to decline.) You can also ask someone else on the same boat to take pictures with your iPhone (it's a bit boring when you're down below...). I also asked for videos and photos.

I think even those who are anxious about flying abroad can feel at ease! I highly recommend it.

1船12人程で出発
日本人は私の組含めて2組しかいませんでしたが、ほかの組との少しコミュニケーションしたりととても楽しかったです。
船酔いする人は気をつけた方が良さそう！
当日少しだけ波が高かった…！
写真は137枚で40ドル、船の上で撮るか撮らないか決めれます。結構いい写真撮ってもらえます。
(別の日本人カップルはGoProを持ってらっしゃったので撮影なしでした！強制力はないので断るのも全然OK)
同じ船に乗ってもらってる人にiPhoneでの撮影も頼めます（下にいる時は暇だし…）。私も動画と写真お願いしました＾＾
海外で飛ぶの不安〜な方も安心して出来ると思います！おすすめ

Tommy picked us up early at a neighboring hotel/resort. As soon as we arrived, he mentioned me and my son by name and I signed a sheet stating we were present. He was kind, patient, relaxed and informative about the area offering great suggestions on different locations. This experience included our entrance fee to Diamond Head State Monument, transportation to and from the hotel. Our hike was moderate and offered beautiful scenery and awesome photo opportunities. The only area I felt somewhat claustrophobic was going into the tunnel on the way up. Tommy provided cold as well as room temperature water and the ride back was comfortable and convenient as we were dropped off right in front of our resort. Thank you for a great experience! Mahalo!

On the first day of my trip, I was able to see a wonderful show, and it made me feel like I had truly arrived in Hawaii! The performers looked just like the celebrities, and the photo session after the show is a memorable experience!

旅行初日に素敵なショーを見ることが出来て、ハワイに来たなと実感出来ました！
有名人にもそっくりで、ショー後の写真撮影も思い出に残ってます！

Two days before departing for Hawaii, I learned about "Auwana" and signed up just before leaving. Although I was in the second-floor seating, the venue was small enough that I enjoyed it thoroughly. The show allowed me to experience Hawaiian culture, and the performances were incredibly powerful. There was also a participatory program that was a lot of fun. The showtime flew by in an instant. Children can also enjoy it. For those traveling, I highly recommend checking it out.

ハワイ出発の二日前に「アウアナ」のことを知り、出発直前に申し込みました。
二階席でしたが、会場が狭いので十分楽しめました。ハワイの文化に触れながら見られるショーでパフォーマンスもすごい迫力でした。参加者型のプログラムもありとても楽しむことができました。ショータイムは、あっという間に過ぎてしまいます。子どもも楽しめます。旅行に行かれる方、是非見に行ってほしいと思います。

We had a really good time. Our only complaint was that out of all the pictures there are none of showing us actually riding the wave in. As well we really only wanted a couple of the pictures but didn’t have that option, buy them all or none

I enjoyed being able to see various stages, including hula dance, entertainment, and fire dance. The meals were also satisfying.

I had the opportunity to see the much-talked-about Cirque du Soleil show "AUANA," which started last December!

I attended the 8:30 PM performance this time. If you have an early dinner, it’s perfectly timed for after the meal. For dinner, I went to Maui Brewing located in the lobby of Outrigger Beachcomber. It’s situated directly below the AUANA venue, and you can already feel a hint of the Cirque du Soleil atmosphere.

After enjoying a light beer and meal, it was finally time for the theater. I simply presented the QR code ticket I received via email, and the staff smoothly guided me in. It was very convenient. Surrounding the theater, there are small food stalls and restrooms. It’s great to be able to take care of any restroom needs before the show starts.

Passing through the carpet marked with "AUANA," I entered the venue. My seat was in Category 3, located at the back left when facing the stage. When I compared it to the seat map beforehand, I wondered if I should have chosen a closer seat, but this turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The theater is compact, so I didn’t feel far from the stage and could feel the performers' energy. Additionally, being able to view the performance from a higher perspective allowed me to appreciate the full use of the stage, making it possibly the best seat after all.

The show consists of eight acts, each linked to a Hawaiian story. It began with a swinging performance that conveyed the history of how Polynesians arrived in Hawaii. The intensity was incredible and quite thrilling. The show continued with comedic acts, beautifully graceful female dances, nail-biting balance performances, and dynamic acts inspired by volcanoes—there was so much to see!

Before I knew it, we were at the final act. By that point, I was completely immersed in the world of AUANA, and I found myself tearing up uncontrollably. I ended up giving a standing ovation with teary eyes! I am grateful and moved to have been able to come to Hawaii and see AUANA. Right after it ended, I thought, "I want to see it again!" and now I have one more reason to return to Hawaii!

The show progresses without any verbal explanations, so even those who are not confident in English will be fine. There are performances in the aisle between the front and back seats, so for those who want to see the whole show, sitting in the back is better, while those who want to see the performance up close should choose seats in the front. Since I watched from the back this time, I’m thinking I’d like to experience the intensity from the front next time.

昨年12月からスタートしたシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ「アウアナ」！話題のショーをこの度初めて見させて頂きました！

私が参加したのは、今回は20:30からの回でした。少し早めに夕食を取れば、食後にちょうど良いタイミングです。
当日の夕食はアウトリガー•ビーチコマーのロビー会にあるマウイブリューイングさんへ。アウアナ会場のちょうど真下に位置しており、既にシルク・ド・ソレイユの世界観が少し漂ってきます。

軽くビールと食事を楽しんだあとは、いよいよシアターへ。事前にメールでもらっていたQRコード付きチケットを出すだけで、受付の方にスムーズに案内いただけました。楽ちんです。シアターの周囲には小さな飲食の売店とお手洗いがあります。トイレが気にならないよう、ショーの前に小用を済ませておけるのは嬉しいところ。売店もマウイブリューイングと連動しており、追加のビールも買うことができました笑

'AUANAと書かれたカーペットを抜けて、いざ入場です。
今回の席はカテゴリー3。ステージを正面に見て、左奥の位置でした。事前にシートマップと見比べたときは、もう少し近い方が良かったかなぁ、と悶々していましたが、これが嬉しい誤算！
シアター自体がコンパクトな作りになっているため、遠方と感じることなく十分にステージの息遣いを感じられる席でした。かつ、俯瞰して演出を見られる位置でもあるので、ステージを目一杯使ってパフォーマンスが繰り広げられることを考えると、むしろベスト席だったかも…なんて思ったりしますり。

ショーは8つの演目で構成され、それぞれがハワイの物語と連動しています。ポリネシアの人々がハワイにたどり着いた歴史を伝えるブランコのショーからスタート。いきなり迫力がすごく、ハラハラでした。その後もコミカルタッチの演目や、美しくしなやかな女性の演舞、つい手に汗握るバランスパフォーマンス、火山をイメージしたダイナミックな演技など、とにかく見どころが続きます。
気づいたらあっという間に最終演目。その頃には完全にアウアナの世界に引き込まれており、勝手に涙が止まらなくなっていました。最後は目を潤ませながらスタンディングオベーション！
今回ハワイに来れたこと、アウアナを見られたことに感謝、感激です。終わってすぐに「また見たい！」と思え、次またハワイに来る理由が１つ増えました！

ショーは全て言葉の説明なく進みますので、英語が不安な方でも大丈夫。前方席と後方席の間の通路でもパフォーマー演出があるので、全体を見たい方は後ろから、より間近に演技を見たい方は前方側の席が良いかと思います。
私は今回後ろからの観劇でしたので、次回は正面前方から迫力を感じてみたいなぁ、なんて思っています。

I experienced the new attraction Xplore Ride, which was also introduced at HIS events.

I participated from the afternoon of my arrival day. Since I arrived in Hawaii in the morning and couldn't check into the hotel until the afternoon, it was a nice point that I could join during the free time. The tour departs from Royal Hawaiian Avenue next to DFS. I was worried about getting lost, but the large bus with a blue ocean illustration caught my eye, and I was able to find it right away. There are also lunch spots nearby, like Aloha Table and Sticks, making it convenient to join before or after lunch.

After telling my name and boarding the bus, I took my designated seat. I heard that the bus is a brand new custom vehicle for this tour! The ride was comfortable, with luxurious seats. Before departure, a staff member provided an explanation. Following their instructions, I put on the VR goggles that were prepared at my seat, and I immediately saw a language selection button in front of me. When I reached out, I pressed the selection button, and it switched to Japanese mode. They mentioned that it uses AR technology to overlay real-world images with virtual space, and MR technology that connects the virtual world with the body, which made me excited for this first-time experience.

Once the headset and language settings were complete, the tour started. The bus route goes around Diamond Head and returns, and it wasn't a long ride. I was worried about feeling dizzy due to lack of sleep, but I was able to enjoy it without any issues until the end.

During the tour, a guide named Manta appeared. He shared various attractions of Oahu and information about Hawaii. The experience of reaching out and connecting with the virtual space, where dolphins and fish appeared from Waikiki Beach, and scenes where I completely entered another world were filled with many creative elements that kept me engaged. There are many highlights, but I’ll refrain from spoilers. Please be sure to experience it for yourself!

The duration of the tour is easy to participate in. I highly recommend it for both enhancing your knowledge of Hawaii and enjoying a new experience! Thank you!

HISさんのイベントなどでも紹介されていたXplore Ride。気になる新アトラクションを体験してきました。

私は到着日の午後から参加しました。ハワイの到着は現地午前中、ホテルは午後までチェックインができないので、あいた時間に参加できるのは嬉しいポイントです。
ツアーはDFSの横、ロイヤルハワイアン通りから出発します。迷わないか心配でしたが、海の青いイラストが書かれた大きなバスがアイキャッチになり、すぐに「これだ！」と見つけることができました。近くはアロハテーブルやスティックスなどランチ所もあるので、ランチ前後の参加も便利そうです。

名前を伝えてバスに乗ったら、指定の席に座ります。バスはこのツアー特注の新車とのこと！乗り心地も気持ちよい、高級感あるシートでした。
出発前に係の方から説明があります。いわれるがまま席に準備されたVRゴーグルを装着すると、既に何やら言語選択のボタンが目の前に。手を伸ばすと選択ボタンが押され、日本語モードになりました。現実世界の映像と仮想空間が重なるAR技術、バーチャル世界と体が連動するMR技術とのことですが、始めての体験に既にワクワクです。

ヘッドセット、言語セットが完了したら、ツアースタート。バスのルートはダイヤモンドヘッドを一周して戻ってくるコースで、そこまで長時間ではありません。寝不足でデジタル酔いが心配でしたが、最後まで問題なく楽しむことができました。

ツアーでは案内役のマンタが登場。様々なオアフ島の魅力やハワイ情報を教えてくれます。手を伸ばしてバーチャル空間と繋がる体験、ワイキキビーチからイルカや魚が現れたり、完全に異世界に入るシーンもあり、飽きさせない工夫がたくさんでした。見どころは色々ありますが、ネタバレになるので、控えておきます。是非実際に体験してみてください笑

気軽に参加できる所用時間。ハワイの知識を補強できる意味でも、新しい体験を楽しめる意味でも、おすすめできる内容でした！ありがとうございました！

On this trip to Hawaii, I used Zipair. They arrive at Honolulu Airport earlier than other airlines, and Roberts had a perfect reception system in place.

When you exit the airport's group gate, there are Roberts staff members in yellow uniforms. When you tell them your name and destination, they already have your information on record and will inform you of your next destination.

As I was enjoying the warmth of Hawaii after a long time, the shuttle bus arrived. It's great that they pick you up without much waiting.

The ride from the airport to the hotel also passes by other customers' hotels. They call out each one, so there's no worry about getting off at the wrong stop. When I got off the bus, my hotel was right in front of me. I gave a tip and took my luggage to part ways.

Honolulu Airport is quite far from Waikiki, so I always appreciate the shuttle service! Thank you!

今回のハワイ渡航ではzipエアさんを利用しました。他の航空会社さんより早めにホノルル空港に着くのですが、ロバーツさんは受け入れ体制バッチリでした。

空港の団体ゲート口を出ると、黄色の服を着たロバーツのスタッフさんがいらっしゃいます。名前と行き先を告げると、もう記録があるのでわかってもらえ、次の行き先を教えてくれます。
久々のハワイの暑さを楽しんでいたら、送迎バスがやってきました。あまり待つことなくお迎えいただけるのはありがたいです。

空港からホテルまでは、他のお客様のホテルも通ります。一つずつ呼んでくれるので、降り間違いもないのが安心します。バスを降りたら目の前が私のホテルでした。チップをお渡しし、荷物を持って解散です。

ホノルル空港はワイキキから距離があるので、毎度送迎には助かっています！ありがとうございました！

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a great time. I'm not very good with the feeling of floating on roller coasters, but this was just pure fun without that sensation!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたがとても楽しむことができました。ジェットコースターの浮遊感がとても苦手ですが、これはほぼ浮遊感なくただただ楽しいです！

I went parasailing for the first time in my life. I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea and blue sky from 150 meters up. Just before taking off, I was nervous, but during the flight, it was quite stable, and I was able to enjoy the scenery while chatting with my wife. The staff were also playful, which made me very satisfied!

人生で初めてパラセーリングをしました。
美しい海と青い空を150メートルから堪能できました。飛ぶ直前はドキドキしましたが、飛行中はかなり安定しており妻と色んな話をしながら景色を楽しめました。
スタッフの方もお茶目で満足です！

I ask for this every time, but it's convenient, cost-effective, and I can move to the hotel with peace of mind. I think the number of people is just right, as I don't like having too many.

毎回お願いしているのですが、便利でコストも良く安心してホテルまで移動できます。
人数が多すぎるのも嫌なので丁度良い人数かと思います。

I saw it once in Japan, but it was the best only in Hawaii.
It was very beautiful, and it was exciting to watch!
You should definitely see it!

日本で一度見ましたが、ハワイだけのもので最高でしたよ。
非常に綺麗で、見ていてワクワクでした♪
見るべきです♪

Our 30th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii. Since my husband, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, wanted to have a Hawaiian experience, we chose this place where we could enjoy both hula and rock music.

A beautiful hula dancer placed a fresh flower lei around my neck, and we took a photo with Elvis Presley! I was already in high spirits.

Once we were seated, we started with a Mai Tai drink and piled our plates high at the buffet. The dessert was also delicious.

In between, there were hula dances and hula lessons.

After the meal, we moved to a spacious theater where the dancers showcased impressive hula and fire dances. There was also a presentation that traced the history of Hawaii using two large screens, featuring songs and dances by Elvis and Michael Jackson, which got all the Western guests excited.

Thanks to this experience, we had a wonderful last night in Hawaii. Thank you!

結婚30周年のハワイ旅行。ハワイ初訪問の主人がハワイらしい体験をしたい！と言うのでフラもロックも楽しめるこちらを選びました。
キレイなフラルックのお姉さんに生花のレイをかけて頂きエルビスプレスリーさんと写真をパシャ！もう気分は上々♪
席に着くとマイタイドリンクから始まり、ビュッフェ形式でお皿いっぱいに盛って頬張りました。デザートも美味しかったです。
途中、フラダンスやフラレッスンもあり。
食事後に広いシアターに移動。ダンサーの皆様が素晴らしい見応えありのフラやファイヤーダンスを披露。
大きなスクリーン２つを活用してハワイの歴史を辿るような演出もありエルビスやマイケルジャクソンの歌やダンス、欧米のお客さん達も皆んなで大いに盛り上がっていました。
お陰様で楽しいハワイのラストの夜を過ごせました。ありがとうございました！

If you haven't experienced it yet, I think you should see it. It has both a Hawaiian vibe and the essence of Cirque du Soleil, making for a fun stage show. Both adults and children can enjoy it, and it would be even more enjoyable if you understand English.

まだ体験されてないかたは、見た方がよいと思います。
ハワイっぽさもシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユらしさもある、
楽しいステージです。
大人も子供も楽しめます、英語がわかればさらに楽しいだろうな。

Beautiful waterfall, and a gorgeous hike in. We had just enough time, a perfect tour.

Had a great time on a special day. everyone there was friendly and entertaining

If traveling with multiple people, I would use other means, but I always use this service when traveling alone. They handle luggage carefully and communicate with an appropriate volume, so I always feel safe using their service.

複数人での渡航であれば他手段を利用しますが、1人旅時に利用させていただいております。
荷物も丁寧に取り扱ってくれますし、適度な声量で声掛けもしてくれて、いつも安心して利用させていただいております。

Cirque du Soleil's "O" is a show that you must see at least once in Hawaii. I was very satisfied. I would like to see it again.

シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユ「アウアナ」は必ずハワイで一度は見るべきショーでした。十分満足しました。もう一度見てみたいです

Last March, I was able to see the sunrise from the summit. This year, I climbed to the summit around 8:30 AM on April 17, but isn't it impossible to see the sunrise from the summit in April? The gate opens at 6 AM, and the sunrise on April 17 should be around 6:10 AM, but it takes more than 10 minutes to reach the summit, so wouldn't it be a sunrise seen from partway up?

昨年3月に山頂から日の出を見ることが出来ました。本年は、4月17日に山頂へは8時30分ごろに登りましたが、4月は山頂から日の出が見るのは無理なのではないですか？ゲートが6時に開門して4月17日の日の出は6時10分ごろのはずですが、10分で山頂までは行けないので、途中からの日の出になるのではないですか？

Crew was very nice. Great catamaran and I loved being under sail for most of it (no engine noise).

On our first trip together, my sister and I visited Hawaii. I take hula lessons, and my sister used to take them too, so we talked about wanting to see a show together! There was a show just for hula, but at my sister's request, we decided to go to "Rock-a-Hula." There were option tours from travel companies, but we found this tour from Veltra with "second person free" and signed up without hesitation. In the end, it was a great decision! We were able to enjoy delicious food while watching the hula dancers, and the person in charge was very kind. Above all, the show was so much fun. Being in the front row made it even better, and the variety of the show kept us entertained; the time flew by!

姉と初めての二人旅で訪れたハワイ♡
私はフラを習っていて、姉も昔習っていたので二人でショーを観に行きたいね！と話していました。フラだけのショーもあったのですが、姉の希望で「ロック・ア・フラ」に行くことに決まりました。旅行会社のオプションツアーもあったのですが、ベルトラさんの「２人目無料」のコチラのツアーを見つけて迷わず申し込みました。結果、大正解でした！フラダンサーさんの踊りを見ながら、色々なお料理を美味しく食べることが出来たのと、担当してくださった方か親切に対応してくださり、何よりもショーが楽しかったです。最前列ですぐ間近だったのもあるのですが、バリエーション豊かなショーに飽きることなく、あっという間の時間でした。

My wife and I both celebrated our 70th birthdays and took our first trip to Hawaii. We discussed what activities to do! We challenged ourselves to try parasailing for the first time, and it was amazing. We will definitely come back to try it again! However, if you are prone to seasickness, please take some medication.

私と女房は、共に古希を迎えて、初ハワイ。
何を活動しようかと相談！
初パラセーリングにチャレンジ、最高でした。また、チャレンジしに来るぞ〜。
但し、船酔いする人は、薬飲んでくださいね

I hesitated to cancel because it seemed scary after I signed up, but I really enjoyed the experience. Once you start flying, it’s not as scary as it looks from below, and the view is amazing; it feels really good. The instructor was also humorous and very kind.

申し込んでみたものの怖そうだから、やっぱりキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、体験して本当に楽しかったです。
下から見ているよりも、飛んでしまえばそれ程怖さも感じなくて、景色も最高だし、とっても気持ちがいいです。
インストラクターの方もユーモアがあり、とても親切です。

I had a very enjoyable experience. The people on the boat were also wonderful, and we were able to enjoy a fun boat trip in a friendly atmosphere. During parasailing, I fell into the sea a few times, which was thrilling and very entertaining! However, if you wish to purchase photos, please make sure to inform the staff directly on the boat before parasailing!

とても楽しい経験をすることができました。船に同乗していた方々もとても素敵な方たちで、和気あいあいとした雰囲気の中、楽しい船旅を楽しむことができました。
パラセーリング中には何度か海に“ドボン”と落ちることもあり、それがまたスリル満点でとても面白かったです！
ただ、写真の購入を希望される方は、必ずパラセーリング前に船の上で、写真購入希望の旨を直接スタッフに伝えるようにしてください！！

When you exit the airport, there will be someone holding a sign to guide you. Following their directions, you'll find the reception area along the wall, and there are Japanese staff members, which is reassuring.

空港出ると看板を持った方がいて方向を教えてくれる。
方向に沿っていくと壁側に受付があり日本人の方もいて安心。
