All Reviews for Top Places to Visit in Hawaii

I always make it a point to see Cirque du Soleil when they perform in Tokyo, so I definitely wanted to see them in Hawaii as well. They used costumes and props from Hawaii, which added to the atmosphere.

There was a segment where a few audience members were picked to mimic dances and have fun, and this time was also very enjoyable.

The theater was small, but it was almost full. We had seats right in the middle, in the front row. There were five of us, and everyone had a great time.

I might be imagining it, but was the performance a bit shorter this time? I felt like it ended in about an hour and a half without any breaks.

I was satisfied.

シルクドソレイユが東京公演をする時は必ずみに行っていますので、ハワイでも是非とも思い見に行きました。ハワイの衣装や道具を使っていて雰囲気も楽しめました。

いつもの観客を数名ピックアップして踊りなどを真似させて楽しむ幕間？がありますが、今回もとても楽しかったです。

劇場は狭かったですが、ほぼ満員でした。真ん前の真ん中辺の席でした。5名で参加しましたが、皆楽しめました。

気のせいかも知れませんが公演時間はちょっと短いんですかね？途中休憩もなく、1時間半くらいで終わった様に思いました。

満足です。

It was my first time on a Segway, but they taught me how to ride it carefully, and I had a really fun experience. I'm glad I signed up. I want to ride again!

初めてのセグウェイでしたが、乗り方を丁寧に教えて頂き、とっても楽しく体験することが出来ました。
申し込んで良かったです。また乗りたい〜

Starting with Hawaiian music and dance from the 1920s, and moving through the historic concerts in Hawaii featuring Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s, you can enjoy a performance filled with song and dance. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in promotional photos, as they are likely double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.

1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。

The pre-lecture was quite simplified with gestures and such. However, the captain and everyone else on board were all nice guys and very reliable. We went out to sea about three times to catch some waves, and on the second time, we managed to ride a pretty big wave, which was really exciting. It lasted about 25 minutes, but based on the waves we caught, it felt like it could have gone on a bit longer.

事前のレクチャーは、ジェスチャーなどで、かなり簡略化しています。
ただ船長はじめ、一緒に乗ってくれる方々は、みなナイスガイでとても頼もしいです。
波をつかまえに、３回ほど、沖の方へいき、２回目にかなり大きな波に乗れ、かなーり盛り上がりました。
だいたい２５分くらいで、終了でしたが、乗れた波の感じで、時間はもう少し長くなるのかな？って感じです。

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

Picked up on time, arrived at Diamond Head with plenty of time to take pictures etc. Family friendly tour, the malasadas were so yummy! Great views, no rush to finish the hike.

Thank you for teaching me so kindly; I had a lot of fun and time flew by! It was easy to understand because you spoke in Japanese! I want to participate again!

丁寧に教えてくださり、とても楽しくあっというまに時間がなくなりました！日本語で話してくれたので分かりやすかったです！また参加したいです！

The sunrise at the summit was breathtaking, the hike up is a bit hard as it is dark out, but the views from the top make every step worth it!

Great experience! Our bartender was Cole and he was great! We saw a proposal and had some awesome drinks

"AUANA" can only be described as wonderful! I couldn't take my eyes off the performances, with no time to catch my breath between each stage. I stay in Honolulu for about ten days once a year, and I definitely want to participate again next year.

「AUANA」素晴らしの一言に尽きます‼
各ステージごとのperformanceに息つく暇も無く目が離せませんでした。
年に一度10日間位Honoluluに滞在しますが、来年も是非参加してみたいと思います。

I made a last-minute reservation for parasailing in the morning!

I was told that for an additional $40, the crew would take photos, but since I brought my action camera, I declined (it was no problem to bring it on board).

Unfortunately, it was raining in the morning, so the scenery wasn't very beautiful...

However, I still got to enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of parasailing, and I saw a beautiful rainbow!

The captain gradually extended the rope, and once it was fully extended, he started to raise the altitude. In the end, we had the classic splashdown into the sea!

Thanks to the captain's sailing skills and the crew's attentive support, I had a great time!

I hope to do it again on a sunny day next time!

急遽パラセイリングをするため朝の時間で予約しました！
参加費と別で40ドルを払えばクルーの方が写真を撮ってくれるとのことでしたが
アクションカメラを持ってきていたので断りました（問題なく持って乗れます）

しかし朝はあいにくの雨で景色が綺麗とは言えず、、、

しかしパラセイリングの楽しさと爽快さ、そして綺麗な虹が見れました！

船長が徐々にロープを伸ばし最長まで伸びたら巻き上げ高度を上げていく流れです
最後はお約束の海面チャポン！

船長さんの操船テクニックやクルーさんの丁寧なサポートもあり楽しく過ごせました！

次は天気のいい日にできたら！

My wife and I participated together. It was my first time, and to be honest, it was amazing. It was my wife's second time, but it seemed to be much more challenging than before, and she was clinging to the rope in fear the whole time. Including those moments, it was a great memory.

妻と2人で参加しました。私は初でしたが率直に言って最高でした。妻は人生2回目でしたが以前よりかなり高度があったようで、ずっと怯えてロープにしがみついてました。そんなことも含めて良い思い出です。

I rode on the catamaran for the first time in about 10 years. This time, I chose the Na Hoku because it included an all-you-can-drink option. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is exceptional. The sea was relatively calm, making it the best cruising experience. Additionally, I enjoyed the all-you-can-drink option and had about 6-7 Mai Tais. There were only four of us, including a Japanese couple, so it felt quite private.

⭐︎ I deducted one star because my wife got seasick. Personally, I would give it ⭐︎5 stars or more. Next time, I think I'll go during sunset.

10年ぶりくらいにカタマラン号に乗りました。
今回は飲み放題付き、という事でナ・ホク号をチョイスしました。
海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは格別です。
比較的海も穏やかだったので、最高のクルージングでした。
また、目論見だった飲み放題、マイタイを6-7杯飲みました。
また、当日は私たち以外に日本人のご夫婦と4人でしたので、プライベート感覚でした。

⭐︎一つ減らしたのは妻が船酔いしてしまったからです。
私個人なら⭐︎5つ以上です。
次回はサンセットタイムにしようと思います。

I thought it might be a little scary, but the breathtaking views and the refreshing feeling are incredible. The captain has a great sense of humor, and you might get splashed in the sea once, haha. I want to experience it again!

少し怖いのかなと思っていましたが、絶景と爽快感半端ないです。船長さんユーモアで、一回海につけられます笑
また体験したいです

It was very comfortable and refreshing! I felt the Earth as I watched the color of the ocean change. I would like to ride again when I visit next time.

とても心地よく、爽快でした！
海の色が変わっていく様子に地球を感じました。また訪れた際は乗りたいです。

It was great that even children who can't snorkel could see a lot of fish! Riding in a real submarine was also a refreshing and fun experience, almost like an attraction. Also, the pilot was so cool that I couldn't help but sneak a glance! At one point, it got a bit boring, and my child fell asleep, but it was a good experience overall.

シュノーケル出来ない子どもでもたくさんの魚が観れてよかったです！そもそも本物の潜水艇に乗り込むこと自体もアトラクション感覚で新鮮で楽しかったです。
あとパイロットがカッコ良すぎてついチラ見しちゃう！
途中は少し退屈になり、子どもは寝てしまいましたww良い体験でした。

I had experienced Rock Aloha once before the pandemic, but I wanted to experience it again, so I participated. Even the second time, I had a great time. Both Elvis and Michael Jackson were a lot of fun, and the Hawaiian atmosphere was really nice. I plan to come back to see it again.

ロックアフラは、コロナ前に一度体験済みでしたが、今一度体感したく、参加しました。二度目でも、大変楽しく参加出来ました。プレスリーもマイケルジャクソンもとても楽しかったし、ハワイアンの雰囲気もとても良かったです。また見に来ようと思っております。

The staff was friendly, and there were enough staff members for participants to swim comfortably! They took the time to thoroughly explain safety precautions, such as not swimming at the back of the boat, and they were always watching over the participants. There was also a practice for the OK sign and help sign, which was reassuring. We were the only Japanese participants, but there were many children joining, and we were able to communicate and have fun. There was an incident where a participant's hat flew into the sea, but the staff returned the boat to the point where the hat was and jumped in to retrieve it. The snorkeling time was long, and if you get tired, you can return to the boat via the stairs! I highly recommend it!

スタッフはフレンドリーで、参加者に対してスタッフの数が多く安心して泳ぐことができました！
船の後ろ側は泳がないことなど、注意事項の説明も時間をかけてしっかりしてくださり、また、スタッフが常時参加者の様子を見ていました。
okのサインやヘルプのサインも事前練習があり、安心でした。
日本人参加者は我々だけでしたが、子供の参加も多く、楽しくコミュニケーションを取ることができました。
途中参加者の帽子が海に飛ばされるアクシデントがありましたが、船を帽子があるポイントに戻し、スタッフさんが飛び込んで取りに行っていました。
シュノーケリングの時間は長く、疲れたら階段から船に戻ることができます！お勧めです！

First of all, the height is amazing.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from this height was fantastic!
Also, jumping into the sea before the collection was super fun.

まず高さが最高。
この高さからのワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが最高でした♪
さらに回収前に海にジャポンしてくれるのもめちゃ楽しかった。

It was unexpected like a circus.
There was a story, spectacular performances, and it was truly moving throughout.
The only disappointment was that there were no brochures or videos for sale.

サーカスと思わぬこと。
ストーリーがあり、スペクタクルな演技、感動のしっぱなしでした。
パンフレットや映像の販売がされていなかったのだけがちょっと残念でした。

The fusion of Hawaiian culture and acrobatics.
That's absolutely true.
Everyone, please make sure to see it.
It's moving.
You can see well even from the back seats.

ハワイ文化とアクロバットの融合。
ほんとにその通りです。
是非皆さん、観てください。
感動します。
席は後ろでもよく見えます。

The staff's service was perfect! They explained things in a way that was easy for us to understand, even though we hardly knew any English! Driving the boat was just right, and the speed was exhilarating!

スタッフの対応は完璧でした！
ほとんど英語が分からない自分達に分かりやすく説明ももらいました！
ボートを運転も程良くスピードも出してくれて爽快でした！

I bought a VIP seat and was in the front row, but honestly, sitting in the middle might be better. The show was powerful and really great.

VIP席を買って一番列でしたが、正直中間ぐらいのほうがよいかもです。ショーは迫力がありめっちゃよかったです。

The content should be correct! It's Cirque du Soleil, after all. It's common, but the air conditioning is really strong, so having a jacket or a light blanket can make you feel more comfortable. I hope you have a wonderful time!

内容は間違い無いはずです！
シルク・ド・ソレイユですからね。
あるあるですが、エアコン効きまくりなので上着や膝掛けチックな布一枚あるだけで落ち着きます。
素敵か時間を過ごせますように。

The captain and the friendly staff created a wonderful atmosphere on board, making for a very enjoyable sailing experience. We were able to see the streets of Waikiki from offshore, providing a different perspective and allowing us to capture memories with our cameras. One thing that concerned me was that I was asked to submit a paper "liability waiver" when making the reservation, so I searched for a facility to print it early in the morning and brought it with me, but in the end, it was not requested, and I left without submitting it (I was having so much fun that I forgot to submit it, haha). Thank you for the enjoyable time.

キャプテンはじめ気さくなスタッフの皆さんにより船上の雰囲気が一体化してとても楽しいセイリングでした。ワイキキの街並みを沖合から見ることができ、いつもとは違った風景を見ることができ、思い出をカメラに収めました。一つだけ気になることは、予約時に紙での「免責同意書」の提出を求められ、早朝から印刷できる施設を探して持参しましたが結局求められなかったので提出しないまま帰路につきました。（楽しくて提出自体を忘れていました（笑））。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

Our family had such a wonderful day, the kids were so engaged with the viewing window.

We adored the snorkel tour! We saw many turtles and received great snorkel instructions from Captain Jenna so we were in great hands as beginners

Although it was cloudy, we were able to get a panoramic view of Waikiki from a high vantage point. The contrast between the ocean and the city was stunning, and it really made me feel like I was in Hawaii! I highly recommend this for a first-day activity.

The local crew was also very friendly, which made the experience even better.

曇天の中の催行でしたが、ワイキキの町並みを高いところから一望できました。
海と街のコントラストももく、ハワイにやってきたな！と気分が上がりました♪
初日のアクティビティにおすすめです。

現地クルーの方も親切でとてもよかったです。

I encountered sea turtles a few times, but the beauty of the ocean and the variety and number of other fish were not that impressive... It might be more enjoyable to participate in the sandbar activities.

ウミガメには何度か出会えましたが
海の綺麗さとその他の魚の種類や数はあまり…
サンドバーに頑張って参加するほうが楽しめるかも

At first, it was calm, and we were having fun with the gentle rocking, but as we went further out to sea, it started to sway quite a bit, which was a little scary and I felt slightly seasick (I had taken motion sickness medication). However, the crew mentioned that it was a windy day, so I think it will sway a lot on windy days.

It's about a one-hour cruise, but I recommend being prepared for some rocking on windy days. On the bright side, all the crew members were very kind and friendly! They communicated a lot with us, and the interior of the ship was clean.

(Note: All safety announcements are in English, so be aware of that.) The view from the ship was amazing, and we could see the Diamond Head from the right side? The back side? from the sea.

Thank you for a wonderful cruise in Hawaii!

最初は穏やか、だんだん揺れてフゥー！♪とか楽しく過ごしてましたが、沖の奥の方に入るとだいぶ揺れて、少し怖い&若干船酔いしました。(酔い止めは飲んでました)
が、この日は風が強いと船員さんが言っていたので、風が強い日はだいぶ揺れると思います。
1時間くらいのクルーズですが、風の強い日は揺れるのを覚悟しておいた方が良いと思います。
ただ、船員さんはみなさん優しく親切でした！コミュニケーションたくさん取ってくれる！船内もキレイでした。
(注意の案内は全て英語なので注意)
船からの眺めは最高で、ダイヤモンドベッドの右側？奥側？も海から見れました。

素晴らしいハワイのクルーズをありがとうございました！
