The stunning and graceful Hawaiian women performing hula captivated not only me, a man, but surely all the audience members. In particular, that unique hip-swaying dance was both alluring and truly representative of traditional hula. The highlight was the male dancers' fire performances, which are said to be acrobatic. That scene is still vividly etched in my mind; it was that impressive. The next time I visit Hawaii, I definitely want to make sure to see this luau show again.

容姿端麗で、可憐なハワイアン女性のフラダンスに魅了されたのは、男性の私だけでなくすべての観客が感じていたことでしょう。特に、あの独特の腰を振る踊りはなまめかしくもあり、これこそ伝統のフラダンスと言えるでしょう。圧巻は、男性踊りの火を使った曲芸とも言われるもの。いまだにこの光景が脳裡にしっかりと焼き就いています。それだけ印象的だったのです。次回もハワイを訪れた際には、このルアウショウだけは必ず観賞したいと思っています。

This was my favorite activity while in Waikiki. I could have sailed all day! Had a great crew and was very relaxing. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

I participated in the 3 PM session. Like everyone else's experiences, we were the only Japanese people, and everything was conducted in English. It seemed that there were many acquaintances of the crew, possibly due to the low number of customers.

Because of that, the splashing service was intense, and we ended up completely soaked. My husband's beer apparently didn't taste like seawater.

I didn't drink, but being soaked and drinking would make me want to go to the bathroom, so it seemed tough for my husband.

The experience was thrilling, a bit chaotic, and had a foreign vibe that was interesting. I would like to ride again.

15時の回に参加しました。　皆様の体験談　同様　私達の時も日本人は私達だけで　
全て　英語で話しが進み　お客さんが少ないのか　船員さんのお知り合いが　沢山いらっしゃったようです。　　

そのせいか　水しぶきサービスが　半端なく　全身びじょびじょで　主人の持っていた
ビールは　海水の味しなかったらしいです。

わたしは　飲みませんでしたが　びしょ濡れで飲むとトイレに行きたくなるので　主人は　大変そうでした。

体験は　スリルもあり　なーなーさもあり　外国っぽくて面白かったです。
また　乗ってみたいです。

We participated as a couple. We followed the recommendation to join in the afternoon of our arrival day. We were exhausted from the flight, so I wanted to rest a bit at the hotel and have lunch before joining, but there wasn't enough time. We ended up checking in, changing clothes, and hurriedly heading to the meeting place. On the way, I regretted not doing it the next day, but once we got on the boat and out to sea, all those thoughts disappeared! The incredibly beautiful blue sea and sky, the refreshing breeze, and the view of Waikiki from the ocean made me forget reality and lifted my spirits. I was hungry, so the beer hit me pretty hard (laughs), but that was fine too. You get two free drinks, but given the time, it feels like you might not be able to drink both, so it's better to drink quickly. The snacks were just a few types of snack foods in bowls... but they were surprisingly tasty, so I ended up eating a bunch at the end! It finishes quickly, but it's enough for a sailing experience. It was a wonderfully luxurious time where I could just relax. In our session, the participants were about half foreigners and half Japanese. The main crew member was a cheerful and kind Japanese-American who explained everything in both English and Japanese, which was reassuring. Next time, I want to join a longer sailing trip where we can also see dolphins.

夫婦で参加。到着日の午後におすすめという口コミを参考にしてその通りにしました。飛行機でぐったり疲れていたので、ホテルで少し休んで、お昼を食べてから参加したかったのですが、その時間はなく、チェックインして着替えて慌ただしく集合場所へ向かうことになり、途中、翌日にすればよかったかな、と、ちょっと後悔したのですが、船に乗って海に出たらそんなの全部吹っ飛んでしまいました！信じられないほど奇麗な蒼い海と空。気持ちのいい風と沖からのワイキキの眺め。一気に現実を忘れられてテンションが上がりました。空腹だったのでビールが結構効きました（笑）が、それもまた良し。お酒2杯まで無料ですが、時間的に2杯飲めるかどうかという感じなので、さっさと吞んだ方が良いです。スナックは本当にただのスナック菓子が数種類ボウルに入れてあるだけです…が食べてみたら結構美味しかったので、降り際にまとめ食いしました！あっという間に終わりますが、セーリング体験には十分です。気持ちよくボーッとできて最高に贅沢な時間でした。私たちの参加した回の参加者は外国人と日本人が半々位でした。メインクルーのお兄さんは元気で優しい日系の方で、英語と日本語で順番に説明してくれたので安心でした。次回は、イルカも見れる、もっと長時間のセーリングに参加したいと思っています。

This was my second time participating, following last year. Perhaps due to the season (last time was in March), there were fewer waves this time. Also, it was no longer an all-you-can-drink option (beer was $3). Because of that, there were fewer people getting drunk and making noise, resulting in a quiet cruise. However, the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat was incredibly beautiful.

Additionally, I made my reservation just before departing from Japan, and on the day of departure, when I mentioned that I couldn't check my email, I was informed by phone that my reservation was confirmed, and they even offered to send a fax to my hotel. This time, I felt that the attentive service from Alan was worth five stars, even more than the tour itself. Thank you very much!

昨年に引き続き2回目の参加です。季節的なものなのか(前回は3月)今回は波は少なかったです。それと、飲み放題ではなくなっていました(ビールは3ドルでした)。そのせいか、酔っ払って騒ぐ人も少なく、静かなクルーズでした。でも、船から見るワイキキのホテル群やダイアモンドヘッドはすごくきれいでした。
それから、予約は日本出発間際だったのですが、出発する当日はメールがみれないと言っていたら、電話で予約ができた旨をお知らせいただいたうえに、ホテルまでFAXを送りましょうかとまで言っていただきました。今回は、ツアーよりもアランさんの丁寧な対応の方が五つ星でした。本当にありがとうございました。

I had read other reviews of this tour that mentioned not having enough time for everything, so when we booked the tour, I mentioned that seeing the Missouri was our top priority. Sure enough, when we arrived at the memorial, our guide (Steve) handed us tickets to the Missouri with the right guidance so we could see it first, and still have time for the Arizona. Steve was great, gave the whole group detailed coaching and an insider's perspective, and kept us all on track. Terrific use of a day of our vacation!

My first time in Hawaii!! Sailing is a must!
I chose the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran from various options.
The sea breeze cutting through the wind felt amazing, and I was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat.
Seeing turtles and dolphins up close was truly moving! (^^)!

I also love the photos taken before boarding! They make a great memory.

I even recommended it to complete strangers! (^^)!
If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate!

初めてのハワイ！！セーリングは外せない！
いろんなオプションの中から選んだワイキキリガー・カタマラン号
風を切って走る海風はとても気持ちよく
船上から見えるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色にも大満足ですが
まじかで見るカメやイルカには感動しました!(^^)!

乗船前に撮ってもらった写真も気に入ってます！！いい記念になります。

全く知らない人にも勧めてしまいました!(^^)!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対参加します！

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

Fantastic day out. Tour guide Catherine was v informative and friendly. Thoroughly recommend!

I participated as a VIP, and I highly recommend the VIP course for this tour. The show while enjoying wine was quite impressive. I will recommend it to my friends.

VIPで参加しました、このツアーはVIPコースがおすすめですね、ワインを飲みながらのショーはなかなかの迫力でした。
友達にもすすめます。

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

It was very hot, and waiting until the gathering was quite tough. I wish I could have waited in the shade. However, once the boat set sail, the pleasant breeze felt great. The beer we had offshore was delicious. I was satisfied. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite something.

とても暑く集合までの待ちがたいへんでした。日陰で待ちたかったかな？でも、船が出港してからはここちよい風で気持ちがよかったです。沖合で飲むビールのおいしかったこと。満足です。海から見るワイキキのまちもなかなかのものでしたよ。

The seat in the very front and center was great. The tribute artist's live performance was very enjoyable. I wish I could have seen some artists from the 60s. I would have liked to see more variety of artists.

一番前の真ん中の良い席で、大変良かったです。そっくりさんのライブとても楽しかったです。60年代のアーチストも見たかったかな？いろいろなアーチストをもっとやってほしかったです。

I wanted to see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, so I joined a catamaran tour. The sailing lasted an hour and a half, and we went quite far out. The sea changed from emerald green to deep blue... Since I joined at 3:00, there were few people, and I sat in a netted area, but when the waves came, I got soaked. Our family was the only Japanese group, and although we couldn't speak English, we somehow felt like we made friends by just saying "wow" and "yay." My face and hair got all salty and messy from the seawater and sea breeze, but it was a lot of fun. (However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a bit tough.)

ワイキキのホテル群を海から見たい、カタマランに乗りたいと思って参加しました。　１時間半のセイリングなので、だいぶ沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました。　海はエメラルドグリーンから紺碧の色に…　　３：００からの参加だったからか、人数が少なく、網の状態の場所に座りましたが、波が来ると、ビショビショになります。　日本人は我々家族だけで、英語は話せませんが「ワーキャー」言っていると何となくお友達になれたような気分になりました。　海水と潮風で、顔も髪の毛もバリバリ（？）になりましたが、とても楽しかったです。　（ただし、乗り物に弱い方はちょっとつらいかもしれません。）

Wonderful wonderful wonderful!!!!!, loved our guide/driver

The Bus Driver was excellent; very knowledgeable and gave us a great visit with great information on the history. Unfortunately it was a morning tour - but we had tickets for 2 PM? Having paid so far in advance it was a little annoying to have to wait for an hour on the stand by line. We never saw the Missouri - just the Punchbowl cemetary - so I think we should get a partial refund on this one as well.

Fantastic trip, heaps of turtles to look at and even better cocktails after the snorkel. I would recommend this tour to everyone who enjoys to get in the water

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

Good tour for the price. Worth having someone pick you up and do the driving. We wish we had more time on the Missouri and to see the museums back on Ford Island. We drove from Honolulu, to Pearl Harbor to get tickets, back to Honolulu for the tour, then to Pearl Harbor, and then back to Honolulu. I would have preferred that we were picked up a bit later and have the tickets all ready for us. We barely had any breakfast and because there isn't much time, we didn't eat from 6:30 am to almost 4 pm. Our tour guide was very courteous and informative (Marlan).

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

Highly recommend this tour...hotel pick-up, comfortable narrated bus ride through Honolulu, no waiting in line for tickets! Very enjoyable and interesting tour. Back to hotel by 2 pm to enjoy the afternoon on the beach. Well worth spending the $ !!!!

Our family had a wonderful day on this tour. We were blessed to have Cousin Pete as our tour guide. Cousin Pete was born and bred in Hawaii. Heis so well read and knowledgeable sharing above and beyond what we expected. Fantastic

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.

The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.

While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.

It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.

昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。

ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。

ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。

我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

A must do! Great tour! Driver was super knowledgable!

The food was delicious. The kids enjoyed it a lot. My child participated in a tattoo experience and got a shark drawn. They did it really well, and my child was very happy. The fire show was also amazing! The kids were super excited. Be careful with drinks when the wind blows. I wish I could have enjoyed it more if I spoke English.

食事はおいしかたです。こどももパクパクでした。タトゥーの体験に子供が参加してサメを書いてもらいました。とっても上手に書いてくれ、子供も大喜びです。ファイヤーショーも最高！子供も大興奮でした。風が吹く時には飲み物注意だよ。英語が出来たらもっと楽しめたのにな。

I thought I paid for the battleship Missouri tour but was never taken. Arizona memorial was just as I remember it.

Great excursion. Great guides. Worth doing! The turtles were amazing and we had the bonus of seeing dolphins...

I participated in the VIP plan! It was so much fun from start to finish that I didn't want to leave!

There were impersonations of well-known artists and a Hawaiian show. My seat was right in the middle and up front!

It was incredibly impressive.

I want to go again next time!

VIPのプランで参加しました！
最初から最後までとても楽しく帰るのが名残惜しぃ位でした！

誰もが知ってるアーティストのモノマネやハワイアンショー。
席も真ん中で前！

迫力満点でした。

次もまた行きたい位です。

It was the most fun show in Hawaii. Michael, Elvis, and Madonna were all spot on. Michael was perfect in dance, face, appearance, and singing. Although Elvis didn't resemble him in the face, his singing and appearance were very similar, and I enjoyed it. The singer who performed "Satisfaction" was wonderful. After the show, there was a photo time, and I was thrilled to hug Madonna and take a picture! I got to know a couple from Washington sitting next to me, and we promised to meet again in Hawaii next year.

ハワイで１番楽しかったショーです。マイケル、エルビス、マドンナそっくりでした。マイケルはダンス、顔、容姿、歌全て完璧。エルビスは顔はにておりませんが歌、容姿はそっくりで楽しめました。サティスファクションを歌った歌手の方は素晴らしかったです。ショーの後フォトタイムがありマドンナとハグして写真撮影していただき感激！！隣の席にいらしたワシントンのご夫婦と知り合い、来年もハワイで会う約束をしました。
