Waikiki
It was an incredibly wonderful time, watching the deep blue sea and sky gradually being dyed by the sunset while holding a glass of champagne! Among the staff, there were also Japanese people, and everyone was very friendly and made it enjoyable. It was my first time in Hawaii, but the scenery I saw on this cruise has become an unforgettable memory.
真っ青な海と空が、次第に夕陽に染まっていくのを、シャンパン片手にながめている、最高に素敵な時間でした❗
スタッフの方達の中に日本人の方もいらして、皆さんとても気さくで楽しませて下さいました。
初めてのハワイでしたが、このクルーズで見た景色は忘れられない思い出になりました。
After the Hawaiian buffet at Tree Top Luau, you can enjoy a show featuring impersonators of Elvis, Michael, and Celine Dion.
First, the outdoor Tree Top Luau (it seems to be indoors in case of rain). It was sunny on the day, so we enjoyed the Hawaiian buffet outside. Honestly, it gets hot, so I recommend bringing a fan or something similar.
They serve a welcome drink of one Mai Tai per person. It's a cocktail-like drink, and you can choose whether to have alcohol or not, so no worries.
After that, you go in turn to get your food, but the dishes are lined up in a corridor-like area, so you have to wait a bit before you can get to the food. There are over 20 dishes including roast beef, lomi lomi salmon, huli huli chicken, and a dessert bar, so I think everyone will be full after one trip.
It was quite tasty. While you're eating, dancers perform hula, so I think you'll enjoy it. Afterward, you're guided to the premium seats in the theater. Non-alcoholic drinks are $5, and alcoholic drinks are $10, so don’t forget your money if you want to enjoy a drink while watching.
Once the show starts, you'll see well-known figures like Michael, Celine Dion, and Elvis. However, the highlight is a fire dance performed by a Hawaiian dancer, which is truly worth seeing. Honestly, I wished I could see more of it.
Michael Jackson was also very popular. Even though there were many Japanese guests, the finale was Elvis. I felt that Michael Jackson would have been a more exciting finale. But maybe for Americans, it makes sense for it to be Elvis?
At the end, you can take photos with Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Celine Dion using your own camera, which makes for a great memory, and it's free. The photos taken by the staff at the end cost $25. I thought that was too expensive and declined, but if they offered it for $10 to $15 instead, I think more people would buy them, which seems like a waste.
I recommend this as a memorable part of your Hawaii trip.

1つのハワイ旅行の記念にはお勧めいたします。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どもも大変嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
We went and it was raining but we still had a great time! We were provided ponchos and everything worked out!
It's the only place in Waikiki where you can see a Polynesian show. The Golden Circle seats are a bit pricey, but they are arranged around the stage, and the buffet is served first, making it recommended for families with children or elderly guests. Since it's outdoors, you can also feel the Hawaiian atmosphere. I would like to give it five stars, but there's a downside of cancellation in case of rain, so I'll deduct one star... but there's nothing we can do about that.
唯一ワイキキでポリネシアンショーが観れるところです。ゴールデンサークルは少し高い金額ですが、舞台周りに席が用意されていて、ブッフェも先に案内されるので子供連れやお年寄り連れなどの場合はオススメです。野外なのでハワイらしさも感じることができます。星5つにしたいのですが、雨天中止というデメリットがあるので星1つ減点・・・でもこればっかりは仕方ないですね。
Was a really nice and relaxing sail. Everyone was really nice. Snorkelling gear and floatation vests were provided. Packet snacks like chips and candy were provided on board. You just have to pay for drinks (even bottled water). I would suggest bringing your own water.
It was a great day with great friends (and new friends)! We love new snorkel adventures and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. The hosts were terrific, and we enjoyed watching them enjoy their job!
Fantastic time. The turtles so amazing! The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved the sail after the snorkel if we would have had extra days I would have definitely done this again!!
This was a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening.
Great catamaran sail from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins on the cruise back to the hotel. Great crew. Lunch was just o/k.
Best tour of the trip this time . Walk to the manoa waterfalls, rainy and muddy . Full of fun! Remember to bring the insects repellent. Walking sticks from the tour company really help a lot!
The sunset cruise we set up on the final day of our trip was wonderful. It was a perfect way to wrap up our journey. Watching the scenery while reminiscing about our travels under the sunset was the best. There were a few spots with higher waves, but I think most people would be fine and not get seasick. I would definitely want to do this again.
8日目の最終日にセットアップしたサンセットクルーズ
旅の締めくくりにとてもいいクルーズです。
夕日をあびて旅を回想しながらゆっくり景色を眺めるの最高です。
ちょっと波が高いところもあるけれど、普通の人なら船酔いとかは大丈夫と思います。
これはまた乗りたいです。
The Rock-A-Hula Dinner and Show was a great event. I'm glad we included it in our vacation plans.
The weather was very nice. We went cruising on a catamaran, and the wind felt really good. After about 30 minutes on board, we arrived at the snorkeling spot and started swimming, where we saw a sea turtle swimming just about a meter away from us. There were also many fish, and the sea was beautiful. There were no other Japanese people besides us...
天気が非常によかったです。カタマランでクルージングしますが、風も非常に気持ちよかったです。乗船後30分くらいでシュノーケルする場所に到着し、泳ぎ始めましたが、普通にウミガメも1mくらいの距離のところで泳いでいたりしました。
魚もたくさんいて、海もきれいでした。日本人は僕ら以外にはいませんでしたが。。。
Fantastic is the word that best describes our experience. The crew was very accommodating and the cruise gave us a good overview of Waikiki, Diamond Head and surrounding area. With the limited number of participants we did not get lost in a crowd as you would on the larger cruise ships and it cost much less. Definitely worth the money. This one gets a FIVE STAR.
The show was fairly good. However, being outdoors, it is affected by the weather. When I went, it started to drizzle, making it hard to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The show had impressive elements, like the fire display, but the food was lacking. Since it's a buffet, everyone lines up at once, and some items run out if you're at the back of the line. The taste was also mediocre, so I feel like once was enough for me.
ショーはそれなりによかった。
が、屋外なのもあり、天候に左右される。私のときは、小雨が降ってきて、ゆっくり楽しむところじゃなかった。
ショーは炎のところなど、見応えはあるのだが、
料理がいかんせん、いまいち。
ビュッフェなので、みな一斉にならび、モノによっては後ろの方だと品切れに。
味もいまいちなので、一度行ったらもういいかな、という感じ。
This was my first trip to Hawaii. Although I had a standard seat, it was close enough to the stage and very impressive. There were scenes where guests could participate, which was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of being in a foreign country. To be honest, the food was a bit disappointing, so I think it's better to consider meals separately. Also, since there is no shade, some seats are exposed to the blazing sun even in the evening. Hats and sunglasses are a must!
初めてのハワイ旅行です。スタンダードシートでしたが舞台には十分近く、迫力満点でした。ゲスト参加のシーンもあり、非常に楽しく、異国感を味わえました(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)食事は正直微妙でした、、食事は別で考えたほうがいいと思います。また、日除けがないため、夕方ですが席によっては炎天下に暫しさらされます。帽子やサングラスなど必須です☆
Maita'i Catamaran is an easy cheap way to enjoy a short sail off the coast of Waikiki. Their location is walkable from just about anywhere in Waikiki (which is only about 1.5 miles from east to west), and my family did a quick 90 minute sail. They allow 0-3 year olds on for free, so for my wife and son and I it was a real bargain.
Most boating trips pad your cost by including free booze (which can make you seasick, or might have disappointingly little effect if you are from higher altitudes), so I was glad to see it sold a la carte here (quite cheaply).
Crew was friendly and approachable, and we got to be on a boat in paradise. They use their motor to get to and from shore efficiently, but most of the time the motor is off and they are just sailing, which is ideal. We saw a dolphin and 2 sea turtles too.
I just feel bad that between making sure my 3-year old got off safely and remembering all of our things I totally forgot to tip them. Hopefully this review will help. Book them now!
Great crew. Great fun and great day! Thank you. Highly recommend. Would do again.
This is my second time boarding. It's worth it just to go out to sea at a reasonable price and see the indescribably beautiful cobalt blue ocean. Of course, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from offshore is fantastic. Additionally, it's very convenient to board from the beach next to Sheraton Waikiki Resort.
二回目の乗船になります。リーズナブルな価格で沖へ出て、なんとも表現できないコバルトブルーの美しい海を見るだけでも、十分価値があります。もちろん、沖からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めは最高です。また、シェラトンワイキキリゾート横のビーチから乗船できるのでとても便利です。
The shuttle driver was an expert at driving on tricky roads. It was great having water and a walking stick provided. And of course the scenery and waterfall were breathtaking.
Absolutely amazing cruise. The deinks were great. Nice captain & DJ. I really enjoyed it.
We had such a great time! The food was great and show was excellent! We would definitely recommend this to anyone!
We had a fantastic time! I would do this again too. The staff was very professional and made us feel safe and very welcomed.
We did the Diamond Head and Manoa Falls hikes. Both were very different and beautiful in their own ways. We are glad we did the Diamond Head hike in the early hours and were able to do the Mania Falls hike during the heat of the day since it was a cooler hike. Advice: take plenty of bug spray for the Manoa Falls hike! And as a side note, Romero our tour driver was fantastic! He told us some local history and gave us advice on places to go and eat.

It was a good sailing and snorkeling activity.
It could be better with some more time snorkeling and maybe in different places with more fish variety.
Enjoyed it very much. Saw several sea turtles and were given a nice catamaran cruise. Well organized and led.
The guys running the catamaran were friendly and fun, and the cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing (once you get used to the movement of the boat). Was very easy to chat with other people and make friends on the boat. If I ever get back to Waikiki, I'll absolutely be on the Holokai again! Thanks for a fun time!
The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!
I watched this show when it first opened with another friend, and it seemed that some of the cast had changed, but I still enjoyed it. The friends I traveled with this time were visiting Hawaii for the first time and said they were happy and had a great time.
