All Reviews for Baby Friendly (Ages 0-2)

This was a great multimedia show that we thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.

The location is amazing!
The buffet is fantastic!
The variety of food and the seasoning were really good.
Each family received a pineapple, and we couldn't finish it.
The dessert cakes and ice cream were delicious.

The show was impressive from our seats in the front center, and at the end, we got to interact with the show members, which was a memorable experience.

ロケーション最高！
ビュッフェ最高！
食事の種類の多さ、味付けがとっても良かった。
パイナップルも一家族に一個ついてきて、食べきれなかった。
デザートのケーキ、アイスクリームもおいしい。

ショーは前方中央の席で迫力満点、最後にはショーのメンバーとも触れ合えて思いでいっぱいでした。

I used this for my honeymoon trip. Since it was my first trip to Hawaii, I wanted to see a hula dance, so I booked this plan, which had good reviews and high ratings, and also included a meal. Perhaps because it was a weekday, there was a monitor plan available, which I took advantage of.

The dinner was a buffet with a wide variety of dishes, and I thought the quality was good, especially since they carved the roast beef right in front of us. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, could be chosen between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. During the meal, several people performed hula dances, creating a fun atmosphere.

The main rock hula show prohibited video recording, but photography without flash was allowed. I don't understand much English, but I still enjoyed it thanks to the music and dance. I would recommend this to beginners visiting Hawaii.

新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
初めてのハワイ旅行だったので、フラダンスは見たいと思い、食事も出来る、口コミも良く評価の高かったこちらのプランを予約しました。
平日だったからか、モニタープランがあったのでそちらを利用。
夕食はビュッフェでしたが、種類も多く、ローストビーフ?は目の前で切っていただけるなど、クオリティは良かったと思います。
ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはアルコールとノンアルコールから選べました。食事中も数名でフラダンスをしていて楽しい雰囲気で食事ができました。
メインのロックフラショーは動画撮影は禁止でしたが、カメラ撮影はフラッシュなしで可能。
英語はあまりわからないですが、それでも音楽とダンスなので十分に楽しめました。
ハワイビギナーな人にはオススメしたいです。

Despite the weak yen... the quality was so good that I thought it was cheap! With this content at this price, it's the best!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.
It all started with receiving a lei around my neck, and I enjoyed the food while watching the dances and songs✨. Finally, I got to enjoy a fantastic show right in front of the stage, almost within reach✨.
I struggled with English and participated alone, but I had a great time. I think I could have enjoyed it 1.5 times more if I understood English better!
I want to study English a bit more and participate again.

円安ですが…安い！！っと思うくらいのクオリティでした！この内容でこの価格！最高です
初めてのハワイでしたが大満足です
まずレイを首にかけてもらうところから始まり、踊りや歌を楽しみながらお料理を✨そして最後に手が届きそうなほどステージの真ん前から本格的なショーを堪能✨
英語が苦手&１人での参加でしたが、十分楽しめました英語がもっと分かればさらに1.5倍は楽しめたと思います！
英語もう少し勉強してまた参加したいです

I participated because I wanted to see the fire dance and hula dance. The theater was very well constructed. Dancers and a famous local singer appeared, and it was very exciting from the start. Around the middle, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson came out, and they danced to their famous songs with the dancers, which was really thrilling! The show itself lasts about an hour and a half, so it might be a good idea to use the restroom beforehand. I definitely want to see it again when I go to Hawaii!

ファイヤーダンスとフラダンスが見たくて参加しました。劇場もすごくしっかりとした作りでした。ダンサーと地元の有名な歌手？が登場し、最初からとても盛り上がりました。中盤くらいから、エルビスやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが登場し、それぞれの有名な曲に合わせてダンサーさんと踊っててとても盛り上がれました！！劇場自体1時間半くらいあるので、最初に御手洗を済ませた方がいいかもしれません。またハワイに行ったら是非見に行きたいです！

Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.

シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました！船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです！ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。

Before the show, the meal was plentiful. During dinner, the staff performed dances, Hawaiian songs, and took requests for songs while we enjoyed cocktails. Moving to the venue, the seating had a tiered arrangement, making it very easy to see.

As the show began, there were hula dances, rock dances, and fire dances, all flowing beautifully with great singing. Listening to nostalgic songs from the '80s, there was also a Michael Jackson impersonator whose dancing was amazing, and before we knew it, the time flew by to the end. It was wonderful to see this show in Waikiki, and I would love to see an Elvis performance next time.

ショーの前、食事タイムボリューム満点です。
食事どきからスタッフによるダンス、ハワイアンソング、カクテルを飲んで歌のリクエスト。
会場へ移動、席は段差があってとても見やすい。
ショーが始まりフラダンス、ロックダンス、ファイヤーダンス、とても流れが良く歌もうまい。
80sの懐かし歌を聴き、またマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん、ダンス最高で時間もあっという間にラスト。ワイキキでこのショーが見られとても良かった、今度はプレスリーも見たいな。

I participated with a group of six friends who were visiting Hawaii for the first time. We were blessed with great weather, and everyone was thrilled. We had a wonderful time enjoying Mai Tais and beer, and we even got to see dolphins. It was the best day ever.

初めてHawaiiに来る友達をつれて6名で参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれてみんな大喜びでした。
マイタイやビールでみんな楽しく盛り上がり
イルカも見ることが出来て最高の一日でした。

This was my nth time in Hawaii, and I participated as a monitor. The buffet mainly featured pork, and there weren't many seafood options like poke. There were English speakers participating as well, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the Japanese attendees were being prioritized less. The show featured live singing and live music! I was surprised by the chubby Michael, who sounded similar (laughs). Rather than traditional hula dancing and fire shows, it was more of a mix with rock, so it might not be suitable for those who want to enjoy something more authentic and relaxed.

ハワイ何度目かでモニター参加しました。
バイキングは豚肉中心で、ポキなどの魚介系はあまりありませんでした。
英語圏の方も参加していたのですが、どうしても日本人は後回しにされている感じが否めなかったです。
ショーは生歌で生演奏でした！
声は似てるけれど太ったマイケルには驚きました（笑）
本格的なフラダンスやファイアーショーというよりも、ロックと掛け合わせなので、本格的なものをゆったり楽しみたい人には向かないかもしれないです。

I went on the first day of my trip to Hawaii, and it was so much fun that I forgot about my jet lag! The buffet dinner had a bit of a wait, but I ate until I was full. The show was in English, but the atmosphere in the venue created a sense of unity, and I was thrilled. The singing was truly impressive and captivating! The fire dance was also an amazing performance.

ハワイ旅行初日に行きましたが、時差ボケを忘れる位の楽しさでした！
ビュッフェディナーは待ち時間がやや長かったものの、お腹いっぱい食べました。
ショーは英語でしたが、会場の雰囲気が一体感になり、興奮しました。歌がホントに上手で魅了されました！
ファイヤーダンスも圧巻のパフォーマンスでした。

On the first night in Hawaii, I participated in this luau and show. The buffet at the luau had such a large portion that I couldn't finish it, but it was delicious. Above all, I was able to see the ukulele performance and hula dancing up close, and I really immersed myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere! I felt it was a great experience for the first day. It was our honeymoon, and they played and sang a Hawaiian wedding song on the ukulele, which became a wonderful memory for us. That was probably the best part of participating this time! The show even featured Elvis and Michael Jackson. Although they are from a different generation, I still enjoyed it! And the fire dance was amazing. I would have loved to see a bit more fire in the performance! I think it's a show that people who enjoy musicals would really like!

ハワイ1日目の夜にこちらのルアウ＆ショーに参加。
ルアウのビュッフェは盛られる量が多くて食べきれませんでしたが、美味しかったです。
何よりウクレレでの演奏とフラダンスを間近で見れて、ハワイの雰囲気にどっぷり浸かれました！
1日目で良かったなぁと思います。
ハネムーンだったんですが、ハワイのウェディングソングをウクレレで弾き語りしてもらい、とても思い出になりました。
それが今回参加して1番良かったことかなぁ♪
ショーではエルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンまで登場。世代ではないですが、楽しめました！
そしてファイヤーダンス(？)が凄かった。もう少し火を使った芸の割合が多いと嬉しかった！ミュージカルが好きな人は楽しめるショーだと思います！

First, take the escalator to the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center B building, where you can receive a sticker as your participation badge at the reception, and then head to the buffet venue.

When we participated, the seating style had Japanese guests at the same table. It provided a natural opportunity to chat with those seated with us, which may have been a consideration to help everyone relax and enjoy their meal. While enjoying a menu that reflects Hawaii (personally, I found the desserts especially delicious!), there were also hula dance performances and songs presented up close, and those interested could take hula dance lessons.

The main "Rock-a-Hula" show was incredibly powerful, featuring impressive performances by "Elvis" and "Michael," along with thrilling fire dances. The dancers' movements were sharp, and I had a great time.

I initially thought about skipping the final photo session, but in the end, I ended up taking pictures with my favorite "Michael" and the dancers.

まずはロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターB館のエスカレーターで4Fへ行き、受付で参加証代わりのシールを受け取り、ビュッフェ会場へ。

私たちが参加した時は、日本人同士が同じテーブルにつくスタイルでした。
同席した方たちと自然とお話しする機会もあり、なるべくリラックスして食事を楽しめるようにとの配慮だったのかもしれません。間近でフラダンスや歌が披露される中、ハワイらしいメニュー（個人的には特にデザートがおいしかった！）も楽しめ、希望者はフラダンス・レッスンも受けられます。

そしてメインの「ロック・ア・フラ」ショーは迫力満点で、「エルビス」さんや「マイケル」さんの渾身のパフォーマンスや、ドキドキのファイアーダンスもお薦めですが、ダンサーたちの踊りもキレキレで、とても楽しみました。

最後の写真撮影はパスしようと思っていたのですが、結局、お気に入りの「マイケル」さんやダンサーさんと一緒に撮ってもらっちゃいました。

The buffet, especially the roast beef, was incredibly delicious! You can enjoy your meal while drinking a Mai Tai and watching hula dancing and ukulele performances up close. (For those who don't drink alcohol, non-alcoholic options are available.)

After that, we moved to the concert hall to watch the show. It was packed with content, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. The fire dance at the end was truly impressive. I was very satisfied that we could take photos together at the end. This event is full of activities, and I think especially those visiting Hawaii for the first time will enjoy it even more.

ビュッフェは特にローストビーフが最高に美味しかったです！マイタイを飲みながらフラダンスやウクレレ演奏を間近に観ながら食事ができます。(お酒が飲めない方はノンアルコールもOK)
その後はコンサートホールへ移動し、ショーを見ます。盛り沢山の内容でハワイ感を存分に味わえました。終盤のファイヤーダンスは迫力満点。最後に写真も一緒に撮ることができ大満足でした。このイベントは盛り沢山で特にハワイに初めていらっしゃった方はより楽しめると思います。

The highlights were the roast beef, fish fry with white sauce, and Hawaiian-style tofu dishes, all of which were very well seasoned. I got a bit carried away and ended up taking too much food, so I should have reduced the carbs like yakisoba and macaroni, which were just average in taste, and been a bit more composed. Haha! The Rock-a-Hula show was impressive! The dancers were not only great at hula but also had sharp rock dance moves, which was fun. I was tired from the flight, but I was very satisfied to have an American and Hawaiian experience right from the first night. I'm glad I went!

特に美味しかったのは、ローストビーフ、フィッシュフライのホワイトソースがけ、ハワイ風豆腐の料理など味付けがとてもよかった。ついつい浮かれて取り過ぎて食べきれなかったので、焼きそばとかマカロニとか炭水化物系は普通の味なのでそれを減らしたり、もうちょっと冷静に過ごせばよかった。笑　ロックアフラは見ごたえあり！ダンサーはフラだけじゃなくロックのダンスもキレキレで楽しかった。飛行機で疲れていたけど、初日の夜からアメリカ＆ハワイらしい体験ができて大満足。行ってよかった！

It was absolutely wonderful!
I was able to see sea turtles and flying fish.

On the boat, I could enjoy drinks like juice, and it was a luxurious time.

Thank you very much.

最高に気持ち良かったです！
ウミガメ、飛び魚を見ることができました。

船の上ではジュースなど飲み物も飲むことができ、優雅な時間でした。

ありがとうございました。

I was very moved during my last trip to Hawaii in 2019, so I made sure to include it again this time. The live band performance was powerful, and I enjoyed the songs of my favorite artists, Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing and authentic entertainment. Considering COVID-19, it was nice to be able to watch from the first floor since there was no dining while viewing. It was a bit disappointing that the performer playing Michael had gained some weight after the pandemic. Still, I was very satisfied.

前回（2019）ハワイへ行った時にとても感動したので今回も必須で組込みました。
生バンドでのパフォーマンスは迫力があり大好きなエルビスやマイケルの歌やフラダンスと本場のエンターテイメントを楽しめました。
コロナを考慮して、食事をとりながらの観覧は無いため1階席で観れたのは良かったです。
コロナ後で演者さんが代わりマイケルがちょっと小太りになっていたのは残念。
それでも大満足でした。

The Rock-a-Hula show was a lot of fun.

I thought it would be just hula, but since the main part was a rock-themed show (impersonations), I had a great time. My plan was to sit in the second-floor seats, so I entered the theater without much expectation, but it turned out to be a large first-floor seat, positioned six seats from the front, which gave me a fantastic view of the show. Elvis was amazing, but I’m sorry to say that Michael was a bit on the heavier side and lacked sharpness, which made me laugh throughout the performance (he was really trying hard, so I feel bad).

As for the buffet in the first half, there was quite a wait as rumored, so it's best to go with that in mind. The sweet potatoes were delicious. However, I took too much—way too much, actually, and couldn't finish it. I really think it's better to take just a little bit at a time. During the meal, there was also a simple hula show and a mini hula experience, which was quite enjoyable.

ロック・ア・フラ、楽しかったです。

フラだけだと、少し、と思っていたのですが、ロックな感じのショー（モノマネ）がメインだったので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私のプランは、２階席と書いてあったので期待せずにシアターに入ったのですが、２階席ではなく、大きな１階席で、前から6席目という位置付けでしたので、すごくよくショーが見えました。
エルビスは最高だっただけに、マイケルは申し訳ないですが、ちょいとふくよかで、キレがあまりなく、終始笑わせてもらってました。（本人はすごく頑張っていたので、申し訳ないです）

前半のビュッフェは、噂通り待ち時間が結構ありましたので、そのつもりで行った方がいいですね。食事はお芋がおいしかったです。でも、２つは取りすぎました。すごくたくさん取ってしまうので、食べきれません。本当に少しづつ取った方がいいと思います。
食事の途中でフラの簡単なショーや、フラのプチ体験とかもあって、結構楽しかったです。

Not enough time for the Bowfin and Missouri! Especially the Missouri is so valuable and amazing!
Introduction saying drop off 16:15-17:00, but our tour actually ended by 14:30 (return from Missouri), I have no idea why but it happened like this. If we have more time, could be definitely better, a bit disappointed.

The show structure was wonderful! I enjoyed the interaction with the dancers before the meal. The staff's service was also very pleasant.

ショー構成素晴らしい！
ダンサーさんとの食事前の交流が楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々の対応も気持ち良かったです。

On October 29th, I participated in a show that I had been interested in for a while as a memory of my trip to Hawaii.

First, we enjoyed a meal while watching hula dancing, sipping on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks made with orange and fresh pineapple. The luxurious buffet-style dinner created a wonderful atmosphere where everyone was cheerful and friendly. The desserts, including coffee, fruits, and ice cream, were also very delicious.

During the showtime, we were treated to beautiful singing and authentic hula. I was captivated by the spectacular performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, making for an unforgettable night and a lovely memory.

10/29にハワイ旅行の記念に以前から気になっていたショーの参加をしました。
まずは、食事ですがオレンジに生パインのアルコールやノンアルをいただきながら、フラの踊りを観賞。そして豪華なビュッフェスタイルの夕食は、みんな和気あいあいでとても素敵な雰囲気でした。デザートもコーヒーや果物、アイスクリームもあって、とても美味しかった。
ショータイムは歌手の素敵な歌と本場フラ。
また、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーアップされた演出に心を奪われ感激の夜を過ごし、素敵な記念になりました。

I attended the show only without a meal. It was exciting and fun from start to finish! My mother and I participated, and even though there is a generation gap, we were able to enjoy the songs we both knew! I was satisfied to see hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing! The air conditioning in the venue was quite strong, so it was a good idea to bring a light jacket! The ambiance is nice, and there’s no confusion, so I highly recommend it.

食事なしショーのみに参加しました。
最初から最後まですごい盛り上がって楽しかったです！
母娘で参加し世代は違えど知ってる曲が流れ楽しむ事ができました！フラダンス、タヒチアンダンス、ファイヤーダンス全て観れて満足しました！
館内は冷房が強めにかかっていたので羽織り物を持っていって正解でした！
リッチもいいし迷うこともないのでおすすめです。

I personally recommend it. On the first day in Hawaii, I participated with a friend. The venue was on the rooftop with a covered area, and we could choose to sit facing each other at a long table or next to each other. Once seated, we chose either a Mai Tai or juice. About one-third of the attendees were Japanese. It was a buffet-style meal, and during the meal, the staff entertained us with ukulele performances and hula dancing. After the meal, we moved to the theater venue. I had reserved seats in the second floor, but there was no second floor to begin with, so perhaps because there were few people, we ended up sitting in the fifth row from the front. The show lasted 90 minutes and was surprisingly professional and really good!

個人的にはオススメです。ハワイ初日に友達と2人で参加しました。屋上で屋根付きの会場で、長机に向かい合って座るか隣りに座るか選択できました。席に着くとマイタイかジュースを選びます。３分の1は日本人でした。ビュッフェ形式で、食事中はスタッフがウクレレで弾き歌いやフラダンスなどで楽しませてくれます。食事が終わるとシアター会場に移動します。2階席で予約しましたがそもそも2階が存在せず、、人が少なかったせいか前から5番目に座りました。ショーは90分、思いの外プロ並みでとっても良かったです！

The reception is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. When I showed my voucher, I was guided right away. The seating was at long tables, and since I attended with one other person, we shared a table with a couple.

There was a bit of time before the start, and staff members were going around for photo opportunities, which could also be purchased afterward. A Mai Tai was served as a welcome drink. The staff asked if we wanted alcohol, but the person next to me seemed to have trouble understanding English, which caused quite a delay as they had to call a Japanese staff member for assistance.

The meal was served buffet-style, and we took turns getting our food. The hot dishes were served warm, and they even cut the roast beef right there for us. The chocolate cake for dessert was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

During the meal, we were able to see hula dancing, and there were also experience corners. After finishing the meal, we moved to watch the show. The air conditioning was quite strong, so a jacket is a must.

The show included hula dancing, Elvis and Michael look-alikes, and fire dancing, making for a packed experience that lasted about three and a half hours when combined with the meal. I think the price is a great deal for such a substantial meal and an impressive show.

受付はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。バウチャーを見せるとすぐに案内して頂けました。席は長机で、わたしは2名で参加したのですが、カップルさんと相席となりました。
スタートまで少し時間があり、写真撮影のスタッフさんが周っています。その後購入も可能です。
ウェルカムドリンクとしてマイタイが提供されます。アルコールありかなしか、とスタッフさんが聞いてくれますが、お隣の方は英語が聞き取れなかったようで、このやりとりだけで日本人スタッフを呼んできてもらったりとかなり時間がかかっていました^^;お食事はビュッフェスタイルで順番に取っていきます。お料理は温かいものは温かく、その場でローストビーフをカットしてくれたり、デザートのチョコレートケーキもおいしく、大満足です。
途中でフラダンスが見れたり、体験コーナーもあります。
お食事が終わったら移動してショーを観ます。かなり冷房が効いてるので上着必須です。
フラダンスからエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさん、ファイヤーダンスとかなり盛りだくさんでお食事と合わせると3時間半ほどかかります。
お食事と、こんなにしっかりとしたショーが観れてこの価格はお値打ちだと思います。

You can choose a non-alcoholic Mai Tai, which is great for those who are sensitive to alcohol. The dinner buffet is served in order, so it's reassuring. The meat is a bit tough, but it was very delicious. You can go back for dessert later, so be careful not to overeat. There was also ice cream, fruit, and cake. The show includes not only Hawaiian music but also popular songs, so I think anyone can enjoy it. I recommend it if you want to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere.

マイタイは、アルコール無しも選ぶことが出来て、お酒に弱い人にも大丈夫でした。
ディナーのビュッフェは順番に案内してくれるので安心。
お肉は、ちょっと硬めですが、味はとってもおいしかったです。
デザートがあとでまた取りに行けるので食事の取りすぎ注意です。
アイスクリームもフルーツ、ケーキがありました。
ショーはハワイアンだけでなくメジャーな歌も盛り込まれていて誰でも楽しめると思う。
ハワイ気分を堪能したいならおすすめです。

Overview:
The meeting point is the Holocai Catamaran booth located on the beach side of the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort on the first floor of the hotel. If you're unsure, you can enter the hotel from the Steak Shack side and walk towards the abc store to find it.

There, you check in. There are about 12 participants. Since the boat will be moored on the sandy beach, you'll need to take off your sandals to board. About four strong men will be your guides. They look impressive, like old-time sailors from a movie. As I listened to the explanations (in English), we soon moved to an area where we could see honu (sea turtles). (I didn't feel much rocking.) Most participants were foreigners, with only a few Japanese. You can borrow snorkeling sets and life jackets. Wearing the jacket is mandatory, but whether to inflate it is up to personal judgment. Beginners should inflate it, while experienced snorkelers who want to dive can keep it deflated. The spots where honu are found are crowded with various tour groups, so we shared the space and slowly approached the honu together. We observed the honu as they surfaced for air, keeping a respectful distance. The guide provided friendly explanations and directed us on where to go. However, in the latter half, things became less organized, and people started to act freely, so it's good to occasionally look up to see where the guide is or swim towards the direction of someone calling out "Holokai!" When there was a honu underwater, I borrowed an underwater camera from another guest (I used a GoPro), and the guide dove down to take close-up shots. It was a wonderful memory. After observing for a while, we returned to the boat and had free time sailing around Waikiki's waters. Soft drinks were free, while alcohol was available for purchase (ID is only required when buying; if you don't plan to buy, you don't need an ID). Participants freely took photos and relaxed on the net at the front of the boat... The guide was always cheerful and even spoke a little Japanese when he realized we were from Japan... We spent a leisurely time on our way back...

Impression:
Of course, it depends on the weather and waves that day, but in my case, I hardly felt any rocking and was very comfortable. It's not particularly Japanese-friendly, and the vibe and way of speaking are completely native, but they don't say anything too difficult, and if you ask, they will teach you very friendly. If the weather is nice, you might get sunburned, so I recommend bringing long sleeves and sunglasses. If you have an underwater camera, I definitely recommend bringing it. After getting off the boat, there is a Steak Shack right in front, so I had lunch there.

Since the atmosphere is quite international, those who are not comfortable with that should consider it, but it was a very pleasant experience that made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. There was no pressure to do anything in particular, and everyone enjoyed their travels freely, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

概要：
集合場所はアウトリガー リーフ ワイキキビーチリゾートのビーチ側のホテル内1FにあるHolocai Catamaranのブース。よくわからない場合はステーキシャック側からホテル内に入ってabc storeあたりまで行くとあります。

そこで受付。参加人数は12名ほど。砂浜にボートがつくのでサンダルを脱いで乗船。屈強な男たち4名ほどがガイドをしてくれる。かっこいい。映画の中の昔の船乗りみたいにかっこいい。なんとなく説明(英語)を聞いているといつの間にかホヌ(ウミガメ)がいる辺りに移動。(あまり揺れは感じませんでいた)参加者の多くは外国人。日本人はわずか。借りれるのはシュノーケリングセットと救命ジャケット。ジャケットは着用マストだがふくらませるかどうかは個人判断。初心者なら膨らませ、経験者で潜水したい場合は空気を入れなければ良い。ホヌがいるスポットは様々はツアーの客が群がっているので、譲り合ってゆっくりみんなでホヌに近づく。息継ぎのために水面まで上がってくるホヌを一定の距離を保ちながら観察。ガイドがフレンドリーに説明をしてくれたりどっちに行くかを案内してくれる。ただ後半は段々と統率がなくなってきて自由に行動し始めるので、たまには顔を上げてガイドがどこにいるのか、またはホロカイ！と声を上げているほうへ泳いで迷子にならないように。水下にホヌがいたときは、水中カメラを持っている客から(私はgopro)借りて、ガイドが下まで潜って間近で撮影してくれた。とてもいい思い出。ある程度観察したら船に戻り、残りの時間をワイキキの海をセーリングしながら自由時間。ソフトドリングは無料。アルコールは有料(購入時だけIDが必要。その予定なければIDは要らない)参加者各々が自由に写真を撮ったり船先端にある網？の上で寛いだり…ガイドは常に明るく接してくれたり、日本から来たとわかると少し覚えている日本語を話してくれたり…かなりゆったりと時間を過ごしながら帰路へ…

感想：
もちろんその日の天気や波に寄りますが、私の場合、揺れはほとんど気にならず、とても快適に過ごせました。日本語フレンドリーではありませんし、完全にネイティブのノリや喋り方ですが、そこまで難しいことは言いませんししませんし、聞けばとてもフレンドリーに教えてくれます。天気がいい場合、日焼けするので長袖やサングラスを持ってくと良いと思います。水中カメラはあれば是非とも持っていくことをおすすめします。
船から降りた後は目の前にステークシャックがあるので、そのままお昼に食べました。

もちろん海外なノリが多いため、苦手な方は考慮されたほうが良いですが、とても気分の良い、南国にきたなーーーーと思える体験でした。特に何を強要されるわけでもなく、各々が自由に旅行を謳歌している、そんな雰囲気でした。

I paid for the VIP package for a group of 6 people and everything went pretty smoothly from checking in to being seated at our table. Everything was pretty efficient from getting our meals to seeing the show. My only issue of concern was that I paid for the additional drink and we were not able to use them. We were told that there would be an opportunity to use them during the show but no one told us we had to get them before the show started because there would not be an intermission or an opportunity afterwards. The waiters need to clearly state that if you don't get your drink during your meal, you need to be sure to get it before heading into the show because you won't get the opportunity otherwise. The show was amazing from the MC, Elvis, to Michael Jackson! The dancers and band did a great job as well!

There is a bit of a wait from when you are seated until you can go get your food. However, I didn't feel that the meal time was insufficient, so I don't think it's a big issue. The food was not only plentiful but also delicious, with flavors that are easy for Japanese people to enjoy. The roast beef, in particular, was excellent. The hula performances and lessons during the meal were also fun. And the show exceeded my expectations! The dancers were sharp, and before I knew it, we were at the finale. I'm glad I participated.

席についてから料理を取りに行けるまで、待ち時間がそれなりにあります。
でも、食事の時間が足りないとは感じなかったので、それほど問題ではないと思います。
食事は量はもちろん、味も日本人が食べやすい味で美味しかったです。特にローストビーフが美味しかったです。
食事中のフラ演技やフラレッスンも楽しかったです。
そしてショーは想像以上でした！！踊りは皆さんキレキレであっという間にフィナーレでした。
参加して良かったと思いました。

I think there are several catamarans, but the 1.5-hour ride was just right. The reception was easy to find as it was located on the 1st floor of the Outrigger Reef Hotel. The staff maintained a good distance, which I appreciated. The boat also had a restroom. I was worried about seasickness, but it was a clear day with calm waves, so I didn't get splashed and enjoyed a pleasant breeze during the fun cruising. Although I didn't see any sea turtles or dolphins, I was very satisfied with the views of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea. I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once.

カタマランはいくつかあるかと思うのですが、乗船時間が1時間半なのが丁度良かったです。受付もアウトリガーリーフホテル1Fにお店が入っていて分かりやすかったです。スタッフの方も良い距離感で、有り難かったです。船にはお手洗いもありました。船酔いが心配でしたが、快晴で波も静かな日だったので、海水が掛かることもなく、気持ち良い風を感じて楽しいクルージングでした。ホヌやイルカは見れませんでしたが、海からのホノルルやダイヤモンドヘッドを見れて大満足です。是非一度体験して欲しいです。

Everything was okay, the server forgot to bring the welcome drink to us for more than 30 mins until we reminded him.

Really well organised activity with Kaimana Tours. Our driver Koa was excellent, providing lots of insights to the surroundings during our drive there. Pickup was on time, in a comfortable spacious van. We arrived and were first in line to get tickets which was simple and organised. The snorkeling gear was great, both sizing and quality for what we needed. I’d recommend going on the 6am pickup, as by the time we left at 11, it was getting really busy and there were not many places with shade. Kaimana offer umbrellas & chairs for hire too.
