All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I participated in the backstage tour and VIP dinner course (front row table seats) with my parents in their 70s. Honestly, I thought it was quite expensive when I signed up, but I'm glad I participated.

Overall, my impression is that the level of the show was very high. The singing was powerful and enjoyable, and the performance quality was impressive. It was not just imitation; the content was quite authentic, and I was entertained until the end without getting bored. The hula dance level was also high and very impressive.

Additionally, the food was delicious! I had low expectations for the meal at a show, but it was very satisfying.

Perhaps because I signed up for this course, I had the best seats right in the center in front of the stage, allowing me to enjoy the show with great intensity. Since photos are also provided for free, I believe it was worth the price overall.

When I asked my parents what they enjoyed the most about this tour, both my father and mother mentioned this show. I enjoyed it myself, but what made me happiest was that my parents had a great time.

I have also participated in the Star of Honolulu dinner show, but I felt that both the quality of the show and the quality of the food were higher here.

I would like to participate again when I come to Hawaii. I think it's especially perfect for wrapping up the final day.

バックステージツアー＋VIPコースディナー(ステージ前テーブル席)に
70歳代の両親と一緒に参加しました、申込む時、正直高いな～と思いましたが
参加してよかったです。
全体的な感想として、まずショーのレベルがとても高かったです。
歌唱力が高く聴きごたえあり、パフォーマンス力も高かったです。
ものまねという域ではなく、かなり本格的な内容で最後まで飽きずに楽しめました。
フラダンスのレベルも高くて、とても見ごたえありました。
それと、食事がおいしかったです！
ショーの食事はあまり期待できないイメージですが、とても満足できる内容でした。

このコースで申込をしたからかステージ前ド真ん中の最高の席で
ド迫力でステージを楽しむことができました。
写真も無料でもらえるので、総合すると高い分だけの価値はあると思います。

両親に今回のツアーで何が一番良かったか聞くと
父も母もこのショーを挙げました。
私自身も楽しめましたが、両親が楽しんでくれたのが何よりうれしかったです。

スターオブホノルルのディナーショーにも参加したことがありますが
ショーの質、料理の質、どちらもこっちの方が高かったように感じます。

またハワイに来た時は参加したいと思います。
特に最終日の締めくくりに最適だと思います。

We signed up for the 110m jump with three adults. I was glad that we could all jump together instead of splitting into two and one. There was just one puzzling incident. After everything was done and we were being taken back to the hotel, for some reason, we went back to the original location even though we were close to the hotel. After that, we were properly taken to the hotel, but I have no idea what that was about since there was no explanation. Well, I guess that kind of thing happens when you're abroad. Overall, it was a good experience.

110ｍを大人3名で申し込みました。2人と1人に分かれてしまうのは嫌だったので、3人一緒に飛べて良かったです。ひとつだけ？な出来事が。すべて終わってホテルへ送ってもらう際、なぜかホテル近くまで行ったにも関わらず、元の場所へ引き返しました。その後しっかりホテルまで送ってもらいましたが、あれは何だったのか、説明もなかったのでわかりません。まあ海外なのでそういうこともある、ということでしょうか。全体的にはよかったです。

The meeting place was hard to find. The weather was great, which made it the best. Also, since it was in English, I couldn't tell where the restrooms were. I drank a lot of beer, but I also wanted to drink champagne!

集合場所がわかりにくかったです。お天気に恵まれて最高でした。又、英語だったのでトイレがあるのがわかりませんでした。ビールばかり飲んだけどシャンパンも飲みたかったな～

I was unaware of the existence of Rock-a-Hula, and my preconceived notions of Hawaii were beautiful seas, mountains, abundant shopping, delicious food, and relaxing music. However, I never imagined there could be something so moving and enjoyable in Hawaii.

Since opportunities to visit Hawaii are rare, I chose the highest option in the VIP green room. The backstage tour is explained by the manager in English only, so if you can't at least understand the basics, you might miss out a bit.

The food, including lobster, meat, and dessert, was all delicious. Being in the VIP section meant we were in the front row, and the intensity of the show was breathtaking! I considered the cheaper tickets on the second floor, but I have no regrets at all. Being up front allowed the performers to come over for handshakes, and the service was great.

It seems that people line up about an hour in advance to get good seats on the second floor.

In addition to dancing, there was also a fire performance, which was very exciting. The performances were serious and impressive.

The songs played may change constantly, but if you watch the movie "Lilo & Stitch" and familiarize yourself with the music, I think you'll enjoy it even more. The songs from "Moana" were also great!

There were other famous songs as well, and the show itself is enjoyable even for those who are not good at English.

All the performers had wonderful smiles, and it's quite rare to find something that brings so much joy and emotion to people. Thank you for a fun and happy time! It will be a lifelong memory. Mahalo!

ロックアフラの存在を知らず、
ハワイといえば、きれいな海、山、たくさんあるショッピング、美味しフード、リラックスできる音楽、という思い込みがありました。
しかし、これほど感動し、ハワイを楽しめるものがあるなんて、想像していませんでした。

ハワイに行けるチャンスは滅多にないので、VIPのグリーンルームで1番高いものを選びました。
舞台裏の案内は支配人が英語onlyでの説明なので、最低限のヒアリングができないとちょっと勿体ないかもしれません。

食事は、ロブスター、お肉にデザートと、どれも美味しかったです。
VIPだと最前列でしたので、ショーの迫力は圧巻！2階の安いチケットと迷いましたが、後悔は一切ないです。
前にいると出演者が握手に来てくれたり、サービスも良いです。

2階はいい席をとるがためか、1時間ほど前から並んでいるようです。

ダンスだけではなく、ハワイらしくファイヤーパフォーマンスもあり、少しハラハラしました。本気の演技です。

演奏される曲は常に変わっていくかもしれませんが、映画のスティッチをみて曲をしっかり知っておくと、より楽しめると思います。
モアナの曲も良かったです！

その他、有名な曲もあり、ショー自体は英語が苦手な人でも楽しめる内容です。


出演者はみんな笑顔が素敵で、ここまで人に笑顔と感動を与えてくれるものは、なかなか珍しいです。
楽しく、幸せな時間を有難うございました！
一生の思い出です。
マハロ！

I participated in a buffet dinner and show tour. The buffet features a whole roasted pig and impromptu hula lessons, which really adds to the excitement. The food isn't extraordinary, but it's definitely tasty enough. The show includes performances that evoke the spirit of Hawaii, fire dancing, and impersonators of Elvis and Michael, which are entertaining. The seats are in the center of the second floor, making it easy to see. I think experiencing a show like this at least once during your stay in Honolulu is a great way to feel the Hawaiian vibe!

ビュッフェディナーとショーのツアーに参加しました。
ビュッフェは豚丸ごとローストの登場やフラの即席レッスンなどもあり盛り上げてくれます。料理は絶賛するほどでもないですが十分美味しいです。
ショーはハワイを感じさせてくれるものやファイヤーダンスに加えてエルビスやマイケルのそっくりさんが楽しませてくれます。席も2階センターで観やすいです。ホノルル滞在中に1回くらいはこうしたショーでハワイ気分に触れるのも良いのではと思います！

It was much more enjoyable than a large ship cruise, as it felt more immersive. There were only us and one other group of Japanese people, which was nice. Since it was an all-you-can-drink option, everyone quickly got into a cheerful mood! The Mai Tai was delicious too! The staff was lively and very friendly! I also had a great time talking with a family that came from Alaska. However, when the sails were lowered, it became quite windy, so a jacket is a must.

大きな船のクルーズより、臨場感があってとても楽しかったです。日本人は私達ともう1組だけで、それも良かったです。飲み放題なんで、すぐにみんな陽気な雰囲気！マイタイも美味しかった！スタッフも、ノリノリだし、とても親切！
アラスカから来たというファミリーともお話しできて楽しかったです。
ただ、帆を下ろすと、暴風になるので、上着は必須ですね。

It was my first surfing experience, and a former professional surfer taught me carefully, so I was able to ride right away. It was so much fun that I requested another lesson the next day with a different instructor. The instructor on the second day also provided tips for further improvement, and I would like to take lessons again the next time I come to Hawaii.

初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、元プロサーファーの方が丁寧に教えてくれ、すぐに乗ることができました。
あまりに楽しかったため、次の日もお願いし他の方にレッスンを受けました。次の日の方もさらに上達するポイントを教えてくださり、次にハワイに来るときにはまたレッスンを受けたいと思います。

We saw wales. Nough said..........................

I participated in a Japanese language guided tour starting at 10 AM, and not only was I able to enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery, but I also learned about the types of fish, the history of the reefs, and how colors appear underwater. It was a lot of fun!

10時からの日本語解説ツアーに参加したため、美しい海底の景色を眺めるだけでなく、魚の種類や漁礁の歴史や海底での色の見え方等の話が聞けて、とても楽しめました。

Awesome experience! I will definitely book through them again the next time I’m there!

I had a great time. Honestly, one of the highlights of my trip. I met some awesome people on the cruise. The only suggestion I would make is to have it be like a real bar in which people can drink what they want. There wasn’t a good variety of drinks for $60 per person but it was still an awesome experience. However the staff had great customer service skills and I’m all about that. Austin the bartender was dope! The most I’ve ever tipped a bartender in my life.

Clean boat, good crew and great drinks!!! Win win for sure! Alex and Clarry were amazing! I would definitely do it again!

I read the reviews on Veltra thoroughly and participated in the 150m experience. I'm not good with amusement park roller coasters and try to avoid them as much as possible, so I was a bit worried, but looking at the distant scenery made it less scary and quite enjoyable. The weather was nice, and Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki were very beautiful. My children, who are in 6th grade and 1st year of middle school, also seemed to have a great time. The boat was rocking, and the kids got seasick, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication. The captain was cheerful, but due to language barriers, I couldn't understand much of what he was saying in English. Still, he entertained us with gestures, and I appreciated his consideration for the seasick kids. We tipped $20 for our family of four.

ベルトラの体験談をしっかり読んで150mに参加しました。遊園地のジェットコースターとかも得意ではなく、極力乗らないようにしているので心配もありましたが、遠くの景色を見ていると怖さもそれほどなく楽しめました。天気も良かったのでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの町がとても綺麗でした。
小学校6年と中学1年の子供達も楽しかったようです。
船が揺れて子供達は船酔いしていたので、酔い止めは飲んだほうが良いと思います。
キャプテンも陽気でしたが、学力の問題で英語は何言ってるかよくわかりませんでした。それでも、ジェスチャーなどで楽しませてくれてましたし、船酔いした子供達への気配りはありがたかったです。
チップは家族4人で20ドルにしました。

First, we were able to have a close conversation with the performers while enjoying champagne and snacks. We were guided backstage, where we received instructions in English and had photos taken at each step. Although we struggled to understand English, we managed to grasp the general idea and had a valuable experience. The meal was served as a course right after we were seated. Since the course included one cocktail per person, we enjoyed our meal while drinking Chi Chi and Hawaiian beer. And finally, it was showtime! Since it was a special occasion, we were thrilled to shake hands and high-five with the performers. The show was incredibly fun from start to finish, creating unforgettable memories! If you're unsure about which show to attend, I highly recommend this one!!! You will have a great time! Thank you for the wonderful dinner show. When I mentioned it was our honeymoon, we received a surprise bottle of champagne, and I was very touched by that thoughtful gesture. The waitress was also very attentive, and I left a generous tip.

まずシャンパンとおつまみを食べながら出演者と身近にお話出来ました。バックステージに案内され、英語で案内をされ都度写真を撮ってもらえました。英語がなかなか聞き取れない私たちでしたが、なんとなく理解はできて貴重な体験が出来ました。食事はコースで着席後すぐに頂けます。カクテルが1人1杯ついているコースでしたので、チチとハワイアンビールを飲みながら食事を堪能しました。そしていよいよショータイム！前例でしたので、出演者の方との握手やハイタッチがたくさん出来て嬉しかったです。ショーも初めから終わりまで、言葉に表せないほど楽しくむちゃくちゃいい思い出作りになりました！もしどのショーに行こうか迷われている方は、絶対こちらのショーはオススメです！！！すごく楽しめます！素敵なディナーショーをありがとうございました。ハネムーンのことをお伝えすると、サプライズでシャンパンを頂けてそのお心遣いも大変嬉しかったです。ウェイトレスさんのご対応もすごく良く、多めのチップを残させて頂きました。

It was unfortunately rainy on the day, but during the parasailing, the sun came out and a round rainbow appeared below! I felt like I had the rainbow in Hawaii all to myself. I'm glad I decided to try it. It was so much fun.

当日はあいにくの雨でしたがパラセーリングの途中で陽が射し、眼下に円い虹が！
ハワイの虹を独り占めしたような気分になりました。
思い切って体験して良かったです。とても楽しかったです。

I boarded the ship, listened to lively music, enjoyed delicious drinks, and watched the sunset. The location was absolutely perfect! It's no problem at all if you don't understand English. I was thrilled when I spotted a whale in the distance. I went in January, and it was a bit chilly, so I think those participating in the winter should bring a thicker jacket, like a hoodie, instead of just a cardigan to enjoy without worrying about the cold. I want to ride again and again!

船にのり、ノリの良い音楽を聴きながら美味しいお酒を飲んで、サンセットを見ました。
もうロケーションが最高です！
英語が分からなくても全然問題ないです。
遠くにクジラが見えた時は興奮しました。1月に利用しましたが少し肌寒かったので、冬の時期に参加される方はカーディガンよりパーカー等少し厚めの上着があった方が、寒さを気にせず楽しめると思います。
また何度でも乗りたいです！

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time during a personal trip to celebrate my retirement. Thanks to the instructor, I was able to stand up early on, and I am grateful for the guidance. After returning home, I received the photos and videos taken by the photographer, so I can relive the excitement of my first SUP experience anytime.

定年退職を記念した個人旅行で初めて体験しました。インストラクターのおかげで早い段階で立ち上がる事が出来、指導に感謝です。帰国後カメラマン撮影の写真と動画を送ってもらったのでいつでも感動の初SUP体験を見る事が出来るようになりました。

My little family of 3 took a much-needed, very rare vacation for six days on Oahu, and on the final day scheduled an afternoon sailing cruise. Unfortunately our 22yo daughter was ill and unable to go along with the two of us on the Catamaran, and we were unable to get a refund for her ticket. However, I did not regret a penny we spent on the ride. The captain and crew were entertaining, and kept the beverages flowing along with the banter. They were non-intrusive when we just wanted to enjoy the view and ride, and wonderfully instructive when there were sights to see and safety precautions to take. We loved every minute, and wanted it to last much longer than it did, even though we are not boat-out-on-open-water people at all. Thank you for a wonderful end to our vacation!

We experienced this as a couple. As soon as we arrived, we were able to board the boat without waiting. There were a total of four groups on the boat. Right after boarding, we were given life jackets and headed out to sea! It was cloudy, so it was cold until we got out to the open water—I regretted not bringing a long-sleeve rash guard, but once we were up in the air, I forgot all about the cold and had so much fun! The 150-meter height and the duration of the flight were longer compared to others, and I didn't feel much fear at all. I had confirmed the photo service for $30 from previous experiences, and I was glad I ordered it because I received photos that I couldn't take myself! The tip and photo service payment are separate, so it's a good idea to bring some small change. You can return within two hours, making it a great way to use your morning or afternoon—highly recommended!

夫婦二人で体験しました。
到着してすぐ、待たずに船に乗れました。合計4組で船に乗りました。
乗ってすぐにライフジャケットを着せてもらって沖へ！
曇っていたので沖に出るまでが寒かったですー長袖のラッシュガードを持って行けばよかったと後悔しましたが、上空は寒さも忘れるくらい楽しかったですー！150メートル、滞空時間もほかに比べて長いですし恐怖感はそこまで感じませんでした。
事前に体験談で確認していた写真サービス30ドル、自分では撮ることができない写真がもらえたので頼んで良かったです！
チップと写真サービスの支払いは別なので細かいお金を少し用意していくといいです。２時間以内で戻って来られるので朝も、午後も有意義に使えるしおススメです！

First time paragliding
I challenged myself at 150.
I participated with my mother and daughter.
It was scary but fun‼️
I got to see Honolulu from the sea.
I was lucky to see whales up close as well.
Photos are available for an additional $30 if you request them.
A tip of $10 is appreciated.
I definitely encourage everyone to give it a try!

初めてのパラセイリング

母と娘での参加です。
怖かったけど楽しかった‼️
ホノルルを海から見れました
またクジラを近くで観ることもできラッキーでした。
写真は別に希望すれば30ドルかかります
チップは10
ぜひ皆さんもチャレンジして下さいね。

I watched the show for the first time this time.
I was able to see it from a seat right in front of the stage.
The dinner was delicious, and once the show started, I was so captivated that I forgot to breathe.
I was moved to tears.
It was the best time.
I want to come again.

今回初めてショーを観ました。
ステージ前の席で観れました。
ディナーも美味しく、ショーが始まってからは呼吸をするのを忘れてしまうほど魅了されてしまいました。
涙が出るほど感動しました。
最幸の時間。
また来たいです。

They provide transportation to the hotel. You will go to the destination with other people. We were in a two-person ride, but three-person rides are also possible. There were some individuals who came alone, and in that case, they will fly with another solo rider. I'm not good with heights, but I intentionally chose to go up to 150 meters. Looking down was a bit scary, but it was totally fine. They also fulfilled the promise of a splash in the sea (in my case, I was dropped quite deep). The staff were cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. The scenery was great, and it was truly the best!

ホテルまで送迎してくれます。他の方たちと一緒に目的地に行くことになります。自分達は2人乗りでしたが、3人乗りも可能です。1人できている方もいて、その場合は他の1人乗りの方と一緒に飛ぶことになります。自分は高いところが苦手ですが、あえて150mにしました。下を見たら若干怖かったですが、全然大丈夫でした。お約束の海ポチャもしてくれました（私の場合は、結構深くまで落とされました）。スタッフの方も明るく、楽しかったです。景色もよく、本当に最高でした！

I participated for the first time. The night view and fireworks seen from the sea were very beautiful. I think it might be due to the season, but it was cold. Next time, I would like to join a plan that takes place during the day.

初めて参加しました。海から観る夜景・花火がとてもステキでした。時期的な事もあると思いますが…寒かった
次は、昼間にあるプランに参加したいです。

I have also participated in a sunset cruise on a large ship, but this one allows you to enjoy the sunset all to yourself, so I am really satisfied! It was a tour with many foreigners, but it was okay even if I couldn't speak any English at all. (The guidance was all in English, and I could hardly understand it, but I managed somehow.) I participated in mid-January, and it gets very cold after the sun sets, so a jacket is a must! I want to join this tour again next time!

大きい船でのサンセットクルーズも参加した事がありますが、こちらの方がサンセットを独り占めできるので、本当に満足です！
外国人が多いツアーですが、英語が全く話できなくても大丈夫でした。（案内は全て英語でほぼほぼ理解できませんでしたが、なんとかなりました）１月中旬の参加でしたが、日が沈んでからはとても冷えるので羽織るもの必須です！！次回もこのツアーに参加したいです！

It was unfortunately a cloudy day with strong winds, so the scenery was a bit disappointing, but I think I would have enjoyed it if the weather had been clear. There was also a paid photo service available!

あいにくのお天気で曇り空で、風が強い日でしたので、少し景色が残念でしたが、快晴であれば楽しめたと思います。有料ですが、写真撮影サービスもありました！

Parasailing over the ocean was amazing. The tour guides were cheerful and kind, which was great. Although it was 120 meters, I was satisfied that I was able to go up high. I only fell into the water with my lower body, so my face didn't get splashed, which was nice. I was able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Hawaiian scenery, and it became a wonderful memory.

海の上でのパラセーリングは最高でした。
ツアーの方も愉快で優しくて良かったです。120mでしたが上の方まで上がることができて満足でした。海に落ちるのは下半身だけで顔に水が被らなくてよかったです。ハワイの景色を一望できていい思い出になりました。

We went to our destination not just by ourselves but also with others on the same boat. The staff who provided transportation and handled the parasailing were very friendly, which naturally lifted our spirits! It was my first time parasailing, and since I wanted to make the most of it, I decided to choose the plan that goes up to the highest point, 150 meters. When I actually did it, the height was quite significant. Of course, individual experiences may vary, but I found it very enjoyable and didn't feel scared at all. The view of the scenery and the ocean from above is amazing! Right before the end, they even give you a little splash in the sea! Your face probably won't get wet! This is definitely one activity I want to do again if I get the chance!

自分達だけでなく他の方と同じボートで目的地に行きます。送迎の方やパラセーリングを担当してくれた方も凄く気さくでテンションも自然と上がります！初めてパラセーリングしたのですが、せっかくなので1番高くまで上がるプランにしようと考え150mを選びました。実際やってみるとかなり高さはあります。個人差はもちろんあると思いますが、私はとても楽しく怖さはありませんでした。上から見る景色や海は最高です！終わり間際に海ポチャも軽くしてくれます！顔までは多分濡れません！
出来るならまた絶対やりたいアクティビティの１つです！

The instructors were from overseas, but they understood the necessary Japanese and explained everything in a fun way. The activities were excellent!

Since the boat sways quite a bit, I think it's a good idea to have motion sickness medication.

インストラクターの方達は海外の方でしたが必要な日本語は理解してくれていて、楽しく説明してくれてアクティビティも最高でした！

船が結構揺れるので酔い止めはあった方がいいと思います

We participated with three people in their 20s, 50s, and 70s. I was worried about seasickness, but I had so much fun that I forgot all about it. The sunset was wonderful, and it was the best time in Hawaii. 😊

20代50代70代の三人で参加しました。
船酔いが心配でしたが、そんなことも忘れるぐらい楽しませて頂きました。そして素晴らしいサンセット、ハワイでの最高の時間でした。＼(^-^)／

The venue was not as large as I expected, but it was an impressive show where the dancers were clearly visible. However, there were notes on the voucher regarding dress code, stating that T-shirts were not allowed and long pants were required, yet most people were dressed in shorts and sandals. While a collared shirt was worn on top, I believe it would have been better if the guidelines had specified that collared shirts were acceptable and that any pants except swimwear were allowed.

会場が思ったほど広くなく、ダンサーが良く見え迫力満点のショーでした　　ただ、服装の関係でTシャツNG・長ズボンなど注意点がバウチャーに記載されていましたが、ほとんどの人は短パン・サンダルの格好であった。
上着は襟付きシャツでしたが・・
格式あるショーであると思いますが、記載の際に上着襟付きならOK・ズボンは水着以外OKとの記載でもよかったのではと思いました
