Waikiki
The view from the seaside, especially from above, is amazing! The guide is very cheerful and keeps us entertained. (The photo is from that time.) The photo costs $40, but it's worth buying; the content is satisfying.
海側から、しかも上空から眺める景色は最高!
ガイドさんがとても愉快で楽しませてくれます。(写真はその時のものです)
写真は$40だけど購入する価値あり、満足できる内容です。
If you don't mind getting wet, wearing a swimsuit will definitely get you soaked in the seawater, haha. If you don't want to get wet, just let them know in advance and they'll accommodate you.
濡れていい人は、水着を着ていれば必ず海水に浸けてくれますwww
濡れたくない人は、先に言っておくと対応してくれます。
We were able to relax and enjoy the show from a very good seat with our family. We were also satisfied because we could see the fireworks perfectly. The food was quite tasty as well.
とても見やすい席で家族でゆっくり観ることができました。
花火もばっちり見れて満足です。
ご飯もそれなりに美味しかったです。
Two crew members entertained us a lot and took many photos for $40. They transferred the photos to my iPhone right after we disembarked and gave us an SD card. They took about 150 photos, including some scenic views from the ship. When they asked if it was okay to drop into the sea, I said yes, and they played with us a lot. It was the best activity!
2人のクルーがたくさん楽しませてくれて、40ドルで写真もたくさん撮ってくれます。下船後すぐにiPhoneに読み込みをしてくれて、SDカードをくれます。150枚ぐらい写真を撮ってくれて、船からの景色も混ぜてくれています。
じゃぼん(海に落と)して良いか聞かれてOKするとたくさん遊んでくれます。最高のアクティビティーでした。
You should go dressed in a way that you don't mind getting wet. Buying photos is worth it. The boat can sway quite a bit, so those who are not good with that should be cautious.
上下濡れても良い格好で行くべき
写真は買って損なし
船は結構揺れるので苦手な人は注意
The strength, delicacy, and captivating beauty of the human body... the story enhanced by the visuals... it was an impressive stage performance. Not only was the thrilling performance enjoyable, but I also learned about Hawaiian traditional culture and laughed at the comedic skits, losing track of time while having fun.
強靭で、繊細で、魅入ってしまう人体の美しさ…映像が盛り上げるストーリー性…圧巻のステージでした。スリリングなパフォーマンスはもちろん、ハワイの伝統文化を学んだり、コミカルな小芝居に笑ったりしながら、時間の経つのを忘れて楽しめました。
There are moments where the audience participates, which is quite funny. If you want to get on stage, sitting at the end of the row might give you a chance.
観客参加の場面もあって笑えます。ステージに上がりたい方は、列の端の座席だとチャンスがありそう
I was very moved by the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above. Additionally, during the photo shoot, there was a unique touch using a shark doll, as shown in the shared photos, which made for a very fun memory. I was also impressed by how they provided attentive service until the end, not only saving the photos directly to my phone when I purchased them but also offering an SD card!
上空からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの美しい景色を一望することができ、とても感動しました。
また、写真撮影の際には、共有した写真にもあるようにサメの人形を使ったユニークな演出があり、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
写真を購入すると、その場で携帯電話にデータを保存してくれるだけでなく、SDカードも提供してもらえるなど、最後まで丁寧に対応してもらえた点も印象に残っています!
At the end of the experience, if you wish, you can be dropped into the sea several times. They check in advance to make sure it's okay for you to enter the water, so I was able to participate with pea
体験の最後には、希望すれば何度か海に落としてもらうこともできます。事前に海に入っても問題ないか確認してくれるため、安心して参加することができました。
The driver was a cheerful person. It was fun! On the day I participated, most of the attendees were Japanese. They provided timely pick-up and drop-off services.
ドライバーさんが陽気な方でした。楽しかったです!
私が参加した日は日本人の方がほとんどでした。時間通りに送迎をしてくれました。
It was my first time at Diamond Head, and the guide explained the best way to get there using a Japanese pamphlet, which was very easy to understand. Although the explanation was in English, it was no problem since they explained it multiple times. They also give you mineral water on the way back (laughs).
初めてのダイアモンドヘッドでしたが、ガイドさんが車内と着いてから日本語パンフレットで
一番良い行き方を説明してくれて、分かりやすかったです。英語の説明ですが、何度も説明してくれるので問題ありません。ミネラルウオーターは帰りにくれます(笑)
I haven't seen Cirque du Soleil in Japan recently, so I enjoyed it in Hawaii. The venue is compact, so there aren't many big tricks, but there is a sense of unity. It also has a Hawaiian vibe, making it enjoyable for everyone. The location is also easy to access around Waikiki.
最近日本でシルクドゥソレイユを見ていなかったので、ハワイで楽しみました。
会場はコンパクトなのであまり大技はありませんが一体感はあります。
ハワイ感もあってどなたでも楽しめる内容だと思います。
場所もワイキキ界隈で行きやすいところです。
I experienced this two days after the Honolulu Marathon, but unfortunately, the weather was bad with high waves, and some people got seasick before the boat even left the shore. Since five groups were boarding in order, there was quite a bit of waiting time, and ultimately, many people ended up feeling sick 💦.
I managed to be okay because I skipped breakfast and took motion sickness medication. Watching the first group go up helped me understand what to expect, so it wasn't too scary, and while going up, there was no swaying, which felt nice!
However, before descending, you are dropped close to the water's surface, so your clothes might get wet.
ホノルルマラソンの2日後に体験しましたが、あいにくの天気で波が高く、ボートが沖に出るまでに船酔いする方もいました。5組が順に上がるので待ち時間も結構あり、最終的に船酔い者続出となりました💦
私は朝食を控え、酔い止めも服用したため何とか大丈夫でしたが。
上に上がるのは一組目の方を見れば要領がわかるのでそれほど怖くなく、上がっている間は揺れもないので気持ちがいいです!
降りる前に海面スレスレまで落とされるので服が濡れる場合ありです。
Taking motion sickness medication and trying to look as far away as possible while on the boat can help prevent seasickness.
酔い止めと、ボート上ではなるべく遠くを見ていた方が酔いませんよ。
It was absolutely wonderful. The venue was very small, and you could see well from anywhere, which made it very impressive. I was very surprised by the high level of performance. It was really great.
とても素晴らしかった。会場がとても狭く、どこからでもよく見えてとても迫力がありました。レベルの高さにとても驚きました。とても良かったです。
Please note that the venue is very cold, so you will need something to wear over your clothes. Also, there are two Outrigger Hotels, so be careful not to go to the wrong one. I highly recommend it.
注意点は、会場がとても寒いので何か羽織るものが必要です。また、アウトリガーホテルは2ヶ所あり、間違えてもう1ヶ所のアウトリガーに行ってしまったのでご注意を。大変お勧めです。
When I said I was a beginner, the crew kindly taught me. Maybe it was because I was sleep-deprived from the night before, but I started to feel unwell. The captain gave me ginger candy, and after I sucked on it, I felt better. I didn't catch any fish, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery. There was also a small child, around elementary school age, who participated and had a great time.
初心者だと言ったらクルーが丁寧に教えてくれました。前日の寝不足が響いたのか、気分が悪くなってしまいました。キャプテンがジンジャーの飴をくれました。それをなめたら、回復。釣れなかったけどいい景色を堪能しました。小学校低学年くらいの小さな子も参加していてたのしんでいました。
It's a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case.
乗り物の酔い止めを念のために飲んだ方が良いです。
This was our second family trip to Hawaii, and while we were debating what activities to do, we found this one. After checking with the kids, they seemed excited, so we decided to sign up. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our activity, but we had a great time nonetheless. My eldest son, who is not fond of heights, said it was a bit scary, but my daughter and younger son, who is in elementary school, loved it and wanted to do it again.
I thought I would feel more scared when going up, but I ascended smoothly and didn't feel scared at all. It was a great opportunity to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean direction, something I had never experienced before.
We were also lucky enough to see whales from the boat. My eldest son was right above them, so he got to see the whales from the sky.
The staff were kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience thoroughly.
2回目の家族ハワイ旅行であり、今回は何のアクティビティをしようかと悩んでいたところ、こちらを見つけました。子供達に確認をとり、楽しそうということで、申し込みをしました。当日はあいにくの曇りでしたが、とても楽しむことができました。高いところが苦手な長男はちょっと怖かったと言っていましたが、長女、小学生の次男はまたやりたい。ととても気に入っていました。
私も上に上がる時にもっと怖いかと思いましたが、スムーズに上がっていき、全く怖さは感じませんでした。海の方角からのワイキキビーチや、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見る機会は今までなかったため、とても良かったです。
今回運良く、ボートから鯨を見ることもできました。長男はちょうど上にいた為、空から鯨の様子を見れたということです。
スタッフの方も優しく、楽しんで体験することができました。
This time, since I stayed at the Hilton, I was able to walk to the meeting place, but I think it's important to be cautious if you're staying at a hotel around Waikiki, as it might be a bit far. On th
今回はヒルトン宿泊であったため、集合場所まで歩いて行けましたが、ワイキキ周辺のホテルの場合は少し遠いため注意が必要かと思います。帰りは濡れている可能性もある為、Uberなど乗れない?
I came to the Rock-a-Hula show as a first-timer to Hawaii to catch a show with my family. It offers a lively, pre-packaged, easy-to-digest introduction to hula, Hawaiian culture, and local history—mixed with plenty of iconic pop-culture moments that Hawaii has embraced and celebrated over time. The experience is broken into a few different ticket options, and what you pay really affects what you get. Here’s what to know before you go:
1. Ticket options & pricing
You can choose between show-only tickets or a luau buffet paired with the show. Pricing varies quite a bit. I was able to snag a 2-for-1 show-only deal, which came out to about $43 per person, and I also saw a single-ticket promo for around $60. The luau + show packages run $100+ depending on whether you upgrade to VIP. The buffet is definitely better suited for non-vegetarians, but there are some meat-free options.
2. The venue & overall vibe
This is a non-traditional show set in a large, comfortable amphitheater on the top floor of a shopping plaza. The show opens with a short historical video about the land and people of Hawaii set in 1920, which sets the timeline for the rest of the performance. From start to finish, the show runs about 1 hour and 10 minutes—just the right length in my opinion.
3. Show highlights
The pacing starts off a bit slow with traditional hula dancers and singers, then really picks up steam once the show moves into the 1950s. The Elvis segment is the longest and most prominent, and honestly, the performer is impressively spot-on in both voice and movement, covering several of Elvis’s biggest hits.
From there, the show transitions into tributes to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson, his dance moves really get the audience excited with high-energy dance numbers. You’ll also see nods to familiar cultural touchstones like Israel Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” Moana, and finally, a dramatic flaming poi performance honoring the fire goddess.
Great for families with elderly or young kids

Skip the dinner portion--I’d recommend this show for families, groups with elderly relatives.
The driver arrived at the pickup location on time and was very kind to us, even though we are Japanese! If you're planning to climb Diamond Head, I definitely recommend going early in the morning. We were able to see a beautiful sunrise! ♪
運転手さんは時間通りに送迎場所に来てくださり、日本人の私たちにも優しく接してくださいました!
ダイヤモンドヘッドに登るなら絶対早朝をおすすめします。
とても綺麗なサンライズを見ることができました♪
The souvenir shop at the exit is disappointing, so it's better to stay in the mountains until just before the pickup time. You'll have too much time on your hands.
出口のお土産屋さんがショボいので、帰りの迎えの時間ギリギリまで山にいたほうがいいです。時間を持て余します。
I boarded alone from Halepuna Waikiki. The driver spoke only English. The other passengers were also from overseas, and I was the only Japanese person. The driver checked the list of passengers and confirmed the flight and terminal before departing, which made me feel at ease. When getting off, the driver kindly announced our stop and assisted with loading and unloading luggage, allowing me to use the service comfortably and with peace of mind!
1人で、ハレプナワイキキから乗車しました。
運転手さんは全て英語です。
他の乗客も海外の方で、日本人は私だけでした。
運転手さんが、お持ちのリストと、乗客に対して乗る飛行機とターミナルを確認してから出発だったので安心して乗っていられました。降りる時も丁寧にお声がけ、荷物の載せ下ろしのサポートがあり
安心して気持ちよく利用できました!
Anyone can climb it. However, to climb Diamond Head, prior application is required, so it might be easier to join a tour like this. If you can apply in advance by yourself, it would be cheaper to get to the trailhead by bus or Uber.
誰でも登れます。但し、ダイヤモンドヘッドを登るには、事前申請が必要なので、このようなツアーで参加するのが楽かも知れません。自分自身で事前申請ができるのであれば、登山口まで、バスやウーバーで行った方が安いでしょう。
The path is well-maintained, so anyone should be able to climb it. I think even kindergarteners would be fine. There are restrooms only at the trailhead. Since there are no vending machines along the
道は整備されているので、誰でも登れるでしょう。幼稚園児でも大丈夫だと思います。トイレは登山口にしかありません。途中に自動販売機などもありませんから、水などは事前に用意した方が良いと思います。
The driver was very helpful. We weren't sure of the pick up location and he helped us by calling the company and we were able to tag along after being verified. He went above and beyond.
I always take Roberts shuttle service. Relaxing and comfortable.
The price was high, but the seats were in a central and easy-to-see location, which was very good. I was satisfied. I always use Beltora for options.
金額も高かったですが、席も中央で見やすい位置でとても良かったです。満足できました。いつもオプションはベルトラさんを使わせていただいてます。
The Cirque du Soleil performance "Awana" was amazing. I want to see it again. I'm always impressed by the high level of the performers.
シルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演『アウアナ』は素晴らしかったです。
また見に行きたいと思います。
パフォーマーのレベルの高さにはいつも感心しています。
Convenient, smooth, friendly staff. Easy to book and reserve. Perfect way to start your morning on this sunrise cruise
I watched from the front row. I participated last year as well, and the powerful show was amazing no matter how many times I see it. Since I was able to see it up close, I could also see the expressions on their faces, which was very nice.
最前列の席で観覧しました。昨年も参加しましたが、迫力のあるショーは何度見ても最高でした。
近くで観ることが出来たので、お顔の様子も観ることができて、とても良かったです。
I went with my grandchild. The weather wasn't great, and the sea in January was cold. There was some rocking, and just when my first grader started to feel a little seasick, we spotted a whale, which was incredibly exciting!
The staff had a wonderful atmosphere. I only had a card with me, but I ordered juice anyway... However, they responded with such kindness and excellent service that I want to give back next time.
孫と2人で乗りました。天気がイマイチで1月の海は寒かったです。揺れもあり小1の孫が少し酔い出した頃にくじらが見えて大感動!
スタッフの人の雰囲気がすごく良かった。
カードしか持っていなかったのに、
ジュース頼んじゃって…でもきちんと優しい素晴らしい対応してくれたから、次はお返しがしたいくらいです。
On the boat, it's cash only. I heard there would be a restroom, but it seems difficult to use, so it's better to take care of that beforehand.
船の上は、キャッシュのみ
トイレがあると聞いていたが
使いにくそうだから
事前に済ましておくのが良いです
心からの感謝を込めて、私たちの経験を共有していただきありがとうございます。あなたのサポートに本当に感謝しており、私たちがあなたのイベントを特別なものにするお手伝いができたことを嬉しく思います。シームレスなサービスと真心のアロハを提供することが私たちの仕事の中心であり、あなたのようなフィードバックが私たちがこの仕事を愛する理由を思い出させてくれます。
またお会いできることを楽しみにしています。

We look forward to serving you again.
I applied with my husband and grandchild. The pickup was about 10 minutes late. I was moved by the wonderful experience and returned home feeling touched. January is the rainy season, and it rained a lot, but it seems we were able to see the sunrise, which was great! It was a bit pricey, but the transportation service was the right choice. 👍
主人と孫と申し込み。ピックアップは10分ほど遅れました。
良い体験ができたと感動して帰ってしました。
1月は雨季で雨ばかりだったけど日の出も見れたらしく良かった!
少し割高になるけど、送迎で正解👍
It seems that they didn't distribute plastic bottles. Since everyone was holding one, it looks like they received them. I came back feeling dehydrated 💦.
ペットボトルを配られなかったらしい。
みなさん手に持っていたから、皆さんはもらったみたい。脱水みたいに帰ってきました💦
I was moved by the fire dance! At the end, we were able to take photos, which became a nice memory. Since it's at the Hawaiian Center, the location is great, and I highly recommend it!
ファイヤーダンスに感動でした!
最後に写真撮影などもできて、記念になりました。ハワイアンセンターなので、立地もよく、オススメです!
The venue is cold (due to the air conditioning), so it's good to have a wrap or jacket.
会場は寒い(クーラー)ので羽織があると良いです。
Thank you very much for visiting our Rockafl with your family. We are honored that you were very satisfied with the photo shoot with the fire knife and our cast. We also appreciate your review. We look forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のロッカフラにご家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイヤーナイフとキャストとの写真撮影も大変満足して頂きスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。口コミも有難うございました。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
The prologue was cool, and both the music and performances were really good; time seemed to fly by. Even though everything was in English, I could understand the atmosphere, and I was happy that the cast members smiled as they walked past the seats, showing consideration for the audience. ♪
プロローグからカッコよく、音楽も演技もとても良くて、時間はとても早く過ぎた感じでした。
全部英語ではあったけれど、雰囲気でわかるし、団員さん達が席の横を通って行く時にもニッコリしていってくれて、観客に気配りしてくれているのが嬉しかったです♪
I saw Cirque du Soleil for the first time.
All the performances were moving.
They were powerful, and I was able to watch with excitement and anticipation!
I definitely want to see it again!
初めてシルクドゥソレイユをみました。
全てのパフォーマンスが感動しました。
迫力があり、ワクワク、ドキドキしながら見ることができました!
また絶対に見たいです!
The venue is not as spacious as I expected, but you can still enjoy it from the back seats.
会場は思ったほど広くないので
後ろの席でも楽しめます。
I signed up for the tour because I wanted to enjoy authentic hula. The hula dance and fire dance were spectacular and very impressive. In the impersonation show, there were performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and since I belong to the generation that grew up with Michael Jackson, it was great to enjoy both his songs and dance.
本場のフラが楽しめるということで、ツアーを申し込みしました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスは圧巻でとても良かったです。
モノマネショーではエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんがパフォーマンスをされていて、特にマイケルジャクソンはドンピシャ世代なので、歌とダンスが楽しめて良かったです。
Since it was a plan without meals, I think it's better to have a meal before the show.
食事なしのプランだったので、ショーの前に食事を取っておいた方がいいと思います。
Thank you very much for visiting our Rockafella with your spouse. We are honored that you were very satisfied with the overall entertainment, and our entire staff appreciates it. It was great that you both enjoyed the singing and dancing, especially since it was from Michael's generation. We look forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のロッカフラにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。エンターテインメント全体的に大変満足して頂きスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。マイケルの世代とゆうことで歌とダンスもお二人で楽しめて良かったですね。又のお越しをお待ちしております。
We participated as a family of three, and the experience of looking down at the city and the sea from such a high place was refreshing. We were very satisfied. Since the photos didn't turn out well, it might be better not to ask for them.
家族3人で参加しましたが、遥か高いところから街や海を眺める体験は爽快でした。大満足です。写真はちゃんと撮れているのないので、頼まない方がいいかも。
The weather was nice, which allowed us to see some very beautiful scenery! It was a really enjoyable experience.
The staff is accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, but the explanations will be in English. However, during the boat ride, there are also explanations in Japanese, so I think it would be reassuring to pay attention to those as well.
You can have photos taken during the experience for an additional fee, and since they took many pictures, it became a great memory. I definitely recommend requesting this!
天気が良かったことも幸いし、非常に良い景色が見られました!とても楽しい体験でした。
スタッフの方は日本人の対応にも慣れている方ではありますが、説明は英語になります。船で移動中に流れる説明では日本語でも説明があるので、そちらも注意して聞いていた方が安心して臨めるかと思います。
別料金で体験中の写真を撮っていただくことができるのですが、たくさん撮っていただけていい思い出になったため、ぜひお願いすることをおすすめします!
- Since you have to travel quite a distance by boat to the experience point and there are waves, I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.
- You can leave your bel
・体験する地点まで船でかなり出る+波があるため、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心だと思います
・荷物は船の中に置いて体験できるので、濡れても大丈夫な状態であれば多少置いていくことができました
