After enjoying a buffet-style dinner, you'll be watching a show, so the time commitment will be longer. It’s better not to schedule anything else afterward. There is a roof, but since the dining is outdoors, there is no air conditioning. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere while watching hula dancing during the meal. I recommend this for your first trip to Hawaii.

ビュッフェ形式の夕食を楽しんだ後にショーを観るので拘束時間が長くなります。
次の予定は入れない方が良いでしょう。
屋根はありますが野外での食事なので空調はありません。
食事中もフラダンスも観れるので賑やかに楽しめます。
初めてのハワイ旅行でオススメします。

This time, I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with a Diamond Premier seat. With priority entry, I was able to sit right next to the stage, and it was an impressive show filled with the spirit of Hawaii! The food was also available to us first, and both the taste and portion size were great. However, everything from the entrance announcement was in English, so I couldn't understand the MC's jokes, which was a bit disappointing. It was a moment that made me realize the necessity of English conversation at my age. If the budget allows, I think it's better to participate with a Diamond Premier seat. Regular seats enter after the Diamond seats, and since the seating is further back, you can't feel the dynamism of the show.

今回は、初めてのハワイ旅行で、ダイヤモンドプレミアシートで参加させてもらいました。
優先入場で、席もステージの横で見ることができて、迫力があって、ハワイ感満載のショーでした！
料理も優先的に取ることができて、味もボリュームも問題ありませんでした。
ただ、入場案内から全て英語なので、MCのトークで笑いが起きても、理解出来ずで少し残念でした。英会話の必要性を、この年で感じた1シーンです。
予算が許すならば、ダイヤモンドプレミアで参加された方がいいと思います。レギュラーシートは入場がダイヤモンドシートのあとで、食事を取るのももあと、座席も後方なので、ショーのダイナミックさを感じることが出来ないです。

I was worried that the bus would arrive on time for my early morning flight, but it was perfect. The driver was also very kind.

早朝のフライトで時間通りにバスが迎に来てくれるか心配でしたが、バッチリでした。運転手さんも親切でした。

The counter in front of the arrival exit displayed a nameplate to welcome me, so I was able to use the service without any confusion. This time, there was damage to my checked luggage, and I needed to go through procedures with the airline, which took some time after customs before I could board the shuttle. However, they kindly waited until the process was completed, which was very helpful.

I had a pleasant experience, so I would like to use their service again next time.

到着出口前にあるカウンターでネームプレートを掲示して出迎えてくれたので、迷うことなく利用できました。今回、航空機への預け荷物に破損があり、航空会社で手続きをしてもらう必要があったため、通関後、シャトル乗車までに時間がかかってしまったのですが、快く手続きが終わるまで待ってくださったので助かりました。
気持ちよく利用できたので、次回もお願いしたいと思います。

I made a reservation five days ago. I usually use the HIS shuttle for $20, but it was fully booked this time, so I chose Roberts for $23. The service is the same. They safely take you to the hotel.

5日程前に予約。いつもHISの送迎20ドルのを利用してますが満席だったので、今回は23ドルのロバーツにしました。サービス内容は同じ。安心してホテルまで送ってくれます。

Even with last-minute reservations, you can feel secure as they confirm everything properly via email and phone. I was a bit anxious about the reception location since there was no sign (as mentioned in the reservation confirmation), but following the map sent with the confirmation helped me find it.

It mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, but I ended up waiting with nothing to do until the start time, so the purpose of the early arrival was unclear.

The snorkeling experience starts with the instructor properly explaining how to handle the equipment, which is reassuring for beginners. I recommend it for those who want to safely try it out nearby. The water wasn't very clear, though.

直前予約でも、メールと電話できちんと確認されるので安心です。
当日の受付場所は、案内版がなくて（ないと予約確認書に書いてあります）不安でしたが、予約確認書に送られてくる地図に従うとたどり着くことができます。
開始30分前に来るようにと書いてあったのですが、何もすることなく開始時間まで待たされて、30分前集合の意図が不明でした。

シュノーケルは、インストラクターがきちんと器具の扱いを含めて説明をしてくれてから始まるので、初心者には安心です。
近場で安全に、とりあえず試してみたいという方にお勧めします。
海は、あまりクリアではありませんでした。

The food was a buffet, so it felt about right, but the show was amazing! I thought the wait for the food was a bit long. The show was something you have to see when you come to Hawaii; it was truly fantastic!

お料理はブッフェだしこんなもんかなー、という感じでしたが、ショーが最高でした！
料理が出てくるまでの時間が少し長かったかな、と思います。
ショーは、ハワイにきたらこれは見なきゃ！という感じで、とても最高でした！

The shuttle bus stop is quite far, isn't it? Has the stop changed since last November? I'm carrying large luggage, and since the sidewalk has a slope, it's a bit tough.

シャトルバス乗り場まで遠いですね。昨年１１月より乗り場が変わりましたか？大きな荷物を持っているので、歩道がスロープになっているので、少々きつい。

We went with a group of good friends. We had such a good time. The waves were perfect. Will go again when we are in Oahu.

The staff provided polite guidance, and I felt very safe during the ride thanks to their careful driving.

This was my first transportation experience in Hawaii, and all the staff were cheerful and energetic, making my trip to Hawaii even more enjoyable!

丁寧に案内もしてくれますし、
安全運転でとても安心して乗ることができました。

また、ハワイに来て初の移動だったのですが
スタッフさんも皆さん明るく元気で
ハワイ旅行がより一層楽しみになりました！

I was afraid of heights, but it wasn't scary at all. It was a really fun time. The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from up high. I definitely want to do it again!

高い所が苦手でしたが、全然怖くなかったです。
とっても楽しい時間でした。
天気も良くて高い所からワイキキを眺めることができてぜひともまたやってみたいです〜

I participated with my wife.

It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.

The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.

There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.

妻と二人で参加しました。

小型のボートで１時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。

上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います！晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。

総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。

The Starlight Luau changed locations since the last time we visited Hawaii, which made the experience more intimate and explosive. Our family felt like they were a part of the show. The food was exquisite, and the dancers were more than entertainers; they passionately expressed their culture and made you feel like family.

Beautiful night, crew had loads of energy made the night that much better. Would recommend to others and do again.

It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.

The ticket booth was a bit hard to find, but a kind person nearby helped me out.

I don't understand English, but it was totally fine! My mother, who is in her 60s, was also very happy.

少し遠かったですが、砂浜沿いにワイキキから歩いていけました
もっと怖いかと思っていたのですが、とても気持ちよかったです！
ただ、船がかなり揺れるので乗り物酔いのある人にはきついかもしれません。前後の食事にも注意が必要です。
チケットブースが少し分かりづらかったのですが、近隣の親切な人が教えてくださいました。

英語はわかりませんが、全然大丈夫でした！
60代の母もとても喜んでいました。

There were just the two of us Japanese people, and while drinking Mai Tai for $5, we enjoyed a pleasant time on a cruise with the refreshing sea breeze that passed by in no time.

日本人は我々2人でした、マイタイ5ドルを飲みながら海風が気持ち良くてあっという間のクルーズで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was a wonderful show that conveyed the performers' earnest desire to please the audience. It was breathtaking and moving. Thank you.

出演者たちの､客を喜ばせようとする懸命思いが伝わって来る素晴らしいショーでした。圧巻でした｡感動しました。ありがとう

It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.

とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ？の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。

What an exciting adventure for our first-time parasailors! Our 8 & 5 year old granddaughters had the time of their lives parasailing with their Grammy! They loved seeing a green sea turtle as well as all the wonderful scenery of Oahu! The crew was kind and humorous. We had a wonderful experience!

Everything was great, staff was friendly. We went first thing in the morning so we got the boat to our selfs. Definitely not as scary as it seems! And I was SUPER scared at first, but I think I would definitely do it again! Recommend to get the pictures, they came out great!

It was the best experience for my first time. The crew members were fun and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii for both my wife and me. There was also a photo session (for an additional fee), and we are still enjoying it after returning home.

初めての体験で最高でした。
クルーのお兄さん(？)も楽しい方々で、盛り上げて頂きました。家内共々良いハワイの思い出となりました。写真撮影もあり(別料金)、帰宅後も楽しんでます。

The fusion of hula dancing and rock shows. This is exactly the show I wanted to see in Hawaii. During dinner, a ukulele singer came right in front of us and sang "Forever and Ever" in Japanese, which was moving!

Many decades ago, I saw a Polynesian show, but I got a bit bored with the long hula dance and fire show. The heartfelt sound of the ukulele still lingers in my ears.

The subsequent Rock-a-Hula show featured wonderful dances and songs by impersonators of Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing, fire dancing, modern dance, and zombie dance, showcasing a wide range of performances that captivated me. I was also impressed by the high level of the dancers!

And the best part was that I was in a VIP seat at the end of the stairs, so I got to shake hands with Elvis, which was exhilarating!! After the show, I was able to take photos with Michael and Elvis, creating truly enjoyable memories of my trip to Hawaii.

I am grateful to the staff for organizing such a wonderful event.

フラダンスとロックショーの融合。これこそがハワイで観たかったショーです。ディナー時、目の前にウクレレ歌手が来てくださり、（君といつまでも）を日本語で歌ってくださり、感激！
何十年も前にポリネシアンショーを拝見しましたが、長いフラダンスとファイヤーショーに最後は少し飽きてしまいました。心のこもったウクレレの音色は今も耳に残っています。
そのあとのロック・ア・フラショーは、エルビスとマイケルのそっくりさんによる素晴らしいダンスと歌に加えてフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、モダンダンス、ゾンビダンスと幅広いジャンルのパフォーマンスが観られ、どれも引き付けられました。ダンサーさんたちのレベルの高さにも感服！
そして、一番嬉しかったのは階段端のVIP席だったので、エルビスさんと握手できて、大興奮！！
ショー後もマイケルさん、エルビスさんとの写真撮影をしていただき、ほんとにハワイ旅行の楽しい思い出になりました。
このような企画考えていただき、スタッフさんたちに感謝です。

We departed from the hotel (Moana Surfrider) at 7:30 for an 8:30 meeting. If you go from Kalakaua Avenue through the Fort DeRussy Boardwalk, you'll reach the parking lot where you can easily see the parasailing sign. It took us about 40 minutes to walk there at a leisurely pace.

The view from 150 meters was spectacular, offering a panoramic view from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head! I was able to take videos by putting my smartphone in a waterproof case. There was also a Japanese person on the same boat, so we took pictures of each other, saving the $40 photo fee.

I've visited Hawaii about five times, but this was my first parasailing experience. I recommend it for both first-timers and repeat visitors!

朝8:30集合のため、ホテル（モアナサーフライダー）を7:30に出発しました。カラカウア通りからフォート・デロシー・ボードウォークを通って行くと駐車場に出て、パラセーリングの看板が見えるので分かりやすいと思います。ゆっくり歩いて行けば40分程で着きました。
150mからの景色は絶景で、ワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドベッドまで一望できました！防水ケースにスマホを入れて動画も撮影できました。同じ船に日本人の方がいらっしゃったのでお互い写真を撮りあったので40ドルの撮影代を節約できました
ハワイは5回ほど訪れてますが、初めてのパラセーリングでした初めての方にもリピーターの方にもオススメです

The scenery was better and the height was great compared to when I did it in Okinawa. The instructor was also fun, which was nice.

沖縄でやった時より
景色も良く、高さもあって
最高でした。
インストラクターの方も
楽しい方で良かったです

easy quick hike to a gorgeous fall! a bit of rocky terrain to be weary

Oahu is so beautiful- Diamondhead is a must see but to add the Makapuu Lighthouse was an easy transfer for my day

It flies higher than I imagined. Before departure, there was a light drizzle, but by the time we took off, the weather was clear. From above, you can see both Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, which is a spectacular view. The wind was strong, and the aircraft swayed side to side in the air, making me feel a bit nauseous along the way.

Of course, it's advisable for those who are prone to motion sickness to take medication in advance, as there can be turbulence in the air as well.

While flying, there is also a photo service available upon request. They take over 80-100 photos, and for $40, you get the data download and a memory card. Due to an incident where another passenger on the boat got sick while we were flying, we only had 42 photos taken, so we bought them for half price at $20. You can check the photos before deciding to purchase, so I think it's a good idea to request them and buy if you're satisfied.

想像以上に高く飛びます。出発前は霧雨がぱらついていましたが出発時には晴天。上からはダイアモンドヘッドもワイキキビーチも一望できて壮観です。風が強くて上空で左右に揺れるので途中で酔いそうになりました。
船はもちろんですが、上空での揺れにも備えて乗り物酔いに弱い方は事前の酔い止めの服薬をおすすめします。
飛んでいる間は頼めば写真撮影サービスもあります。80-100枚以上撮影してくれてデータダウンロードとメモリーカード付で$40です。
私たちは飛んでいる間に船上の別のお客さんが吐いちゃうというアクシデントのため42枚しか撮影してもらえなかったので半額の$20で売ってもらいました。購入を決断する前に写真の確認をさせてもらえるので一応頼んでおいて納得できたら購入するという形でもいいと思います。

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy a hula show, so I participated. I don't have a strong interest in dance, so I chose a show that combines hula with rock to avoid getting bored.

I'm not very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they sang songs that everyone has heard of, so I had a great time. The fire dance was also impressive.

However, the air conditioning in the venue was too strong, and I regretted wearing light clothing. I ended up getting cold and had to go to the restroom halfway through. It's essential to prepare for the cold, especially for your feet.

せっかくハワイに来たのでしっかりフラのショーを鑑賞してみたいと思い参加。元々ダンスに興味があるわけでもないので、フラだけでは飽きてしまうかなとロック融合のショーを選びました。
エルビスもマイケルも詳しくはありませんが、誰もが耳にしたことのある曲を歌ってくれたので楽しめました。ファイヤーダンスも見応えありました。
ただ会場の冷房が効き過ぎていて、薄着で行ってしまったので後悔。冷えてしまって途中トイレに立ってしまいました。特に足元の冷房対策は必須です。

I always use this service to get from the airport to my hotel in Waikiki. There are other shuttles that are a bit cheaper, but I choose this one because many of the other passengers are foreigners, which adds to the feeling of being in Hawaii. This time, there were two elderly foreign women who seemed to have made a mistake with the pickup location, and the driver was having a hard time searching around the hotel entrance, but when he found them, he responded with a smile, which made me feel reassured. I will use this service again when I come to Hawaii.

空港からワイキキのホテルまでいつも利用しています。
他にももう少し安いシャトルもありますが、同乗する人達が外国の人が多くハワイに来た感が味わえる事もありこちらを選んでいます。
今回は、ご年配の外国女性二人組の方がピックアップ場所を間違えていたのか運転手さんがホテルエントランス辺りをずっと探していて大変そうでしたが、見つけた時には笑顔で対応されておりこちらも安心しました。
またハワイに来た際には利用します。

I felt relieved that even though the flight arriving from Japan was significantly delayed, there was someone waiting at the airport exit holding a sign with my name clearly written on it.

日本から到着する飛行機が、かなり遅れても空港出口でしっかり名前が書かれたボードを持って待って頂いているので安心でした。
