Waikiki
I'm not sure what was "deluxe" about this tour. We were picked up and taken on a "tour" of Honolulu first. This amounted to circling a couple of blocks where the King's palace and statue are. Then we went on to Pearl Harbor where we were informed that we would be switching to a different bus for our return to our resort! The 1st driver was difficult to understand when he was telling us what we were seeing. The 2nd driver was much better, although he seemed to talk about things as he saw them and would move onto something else before the rest of the bus caught up to what he had been talking about! I think there are cheaper options for a tour like this which accomplish the exact same thing!
After having dinner, we watched the show.
The dinner started off with a fun atmosphere, thanks to a kind woman dressed in Hawaiian attire who adorned our heads with flower decorations and took photos for us.
To be honest, I participated with the show as the main focus and didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was surprised by how delicious everything was in the buffet! By the fourth day of our trip, I was getting tired of the heavy Hawaiian meats, but I was able to eat heartily. There were various performances during the meal, which made it enjoyable.
After the meal, we had dessert and felt great and full before watching the show. Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with the original material, but there were so many engaging elements that kept it interesting! The cast members were also very enthusiastic, which added to the fun. The highlight was definitely the Michael Jackson performance; despite a slight height difference, he looked just like the real thing! His dancing was incredible, and it felt like I was watching the real Michael. At the end, we took a photo together, and even up close, he looked just like him. I think anyone who knows famous rockers will enjoy this!
ディナーを食べてからショーを見る流れでした。
ディナーはハワイアンな格好の優しい女性が、頭に花飾りをつけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しい雰囲気ので始まりました。
実はショーをメインに考えて特にご飯には期待せずに参加しましたが、バイキング形式でどれも美味しくてびっくりしました!
旅行の4日目に行ったため、ハワイのお肉てんこ盛り&味のこってりしたものに飽きて来ていた中、ぱくぱく食べることができました。
食事中もパフォーマンスが色々あって、楽しかったです。
食事の後はデザートを食べて、満腹でいい気分になってからショーを観ます。
正直私が元ネタになっている人をよく知らないということがありましたが、それでも飽きさせない演出が沢山盛り込まれていました!
そしてキャストの方々がサービス精神旺盛でそれもまた面白かったです。
やはり特によかったのはマイケルジャクソンで、少し身長は違えど本人としか見えないぐらいそっくり!
ダンスもバリバリで、本人を見ているような気分でした 笑
最後に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、近づいてもそっくりです。
有名どころのロッカーを知っていれば、誰でも楽しめると思います!

The day ran pretty smoothly. Slight problem at start when we were told they had overbooked but it was all sorted quickly. Great bus driver. Funny and very informative. A very hot day especially on the Missouri but good food and drink outlets.
We were a couple with a big group of family so we took up half of the catamaran anyways - it was a great experience, thorough and the guys were really caring for this of us who didn't feel well! Definitely recommend!!
It was great! Larry was super as a tour guide & driver.
I watched it with a friend, and it was a fun time that went by in the blink of an eye. Thank you very much. The content was also packed, and I was very satisfied. I would like to watch it again.
友人と観覧しましたが、あっという間の楽しいひと時で、どうもありがとうございました。
内容も、盛りだくさんで、大満足でした。
また、観覧したいと思います。

We had a nice time on this cruise. Great way to see fireworks
Fantastic wsy to finish our stay in Hawaii. Great team, friendly and really added to the experience. Thanks Rich, Michelle & Corbin.
The content of the show was excellent. Since it combines a Polynesian show with an impersonation show, it might be the perfect choice for those who want to experience a show that feels Hawaiian. In fact, I would overwhelmingly recommend this over a typical Polynesian show.
The premium cocktail show I attended had seats on the second floor, but it offered a good view of the entire stage. If you opt for a dinner package with front-row seats on the first floor, you'll have more opportunities to shake hands with the performers. However, there is a greeting time for all audience members after the show (including photo opportunities), so that's not an issue.
It was a show that made me want to see it again when I revisit Waikiki.
ショーの内容は申し分なし。
ポリネシアンショーとそっくりさんショーの融合なので、ハワイらしいショーも観たいという人にはこれ一つでいいかもしれない。
というか、一般的なポリネシアンショーよりも圧倒的にこちらをお薦めする。
今回利用したプレミアカクテルショーでは二階席となるが、ステージ全体が見渡せるので悪くない。一階前方席が利用出来るディナー付きだと、演者との握手の機会などが増えるが、ショー終了後に観客全員に対するグリーティング(写真撮影も)タイムがあるので問題ない。
ワイキキに再訪する際にはまた観たいと思えるショーだった。

Fun sailing and snorkeling combo tour. Although the visibility was poor this day, they offered discounted tours for those who wanted to come again. I got lucky and came face to face with a nice sized honu, so no visibility problem when it's literally almost in your face.
Well worth the price!
I was disappointed that we did not get to go on the USS Arizona memorial. That was supposed to be the highlight of the tour. However our tour guide Jay was very knowledgeable of the tour and made the Honolulu city tour very nice.
It was awesome! The crew was fantastic. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone and everyone!
The guys were excelllent, all very well run, and took us to see several beautiful turtles up close.
As a light activity for the first day in Hawaii, it seems reasonable. However, when I arrived at the designated check-in time, I had to wait for 15 minutes.
ハワイ初日の軽めのアクティビティとしては手頃なのでは。
ただ、指定のチェックイン時刻に行ったら、15分待たされた。
I tried to make a reservation on-site, but it seems to be quite popular, and I was turned down about three times before I finally managed to get on. The wind felt nice, and it was a lot of fun.
現地予約しようと思ったら人気があるみたいで3回ほど予約を断られ何とか乗れました。風が気持ちよく楽しかったです。
Take your time, go earlier than you need to, read all the signs and placards you can. Doing this will give you so much more understanding of what took place on that day of infamy. Be quiet and listen to the calm. Remember. You will be moved.
Every time I go to Hawaii, I participate, and this was my fifth time. As soon as I board, I really feel like I've arrived in Hawaii. This time, the departure was at 11 AM, and the weather was nice, making for a pleasant cruise. The ship was about 70-80% full, and we were the only Japanese guests; there was one group from Korea and the rest were groups from Europe and America. The evening cruises are beautiful when you can see the sunset, but since drinks are all-you-can-drink, it can get a bit too noisy. The daytime cruises are more relaxing. Of course, I will participate again next time.
ハワイに行くたびに参加して、もう5回以上になりますが、乗るとハワイに来たことを実感します。今回は、11時発でしたが、天気も良く気持ちのいいクルージングでした。7~8割ぐらいの乗船率で、日本人は珍しく我々だけ、あとは韓国人グループが1組で、他は欧米人のグループでした。夕方からのクルーズも夕日が見えるときれいなのですが、飲み放題なので、騒がしすぎるという一面もあります。昼の方がゆったりできます。次も、当然参加します。
Did this one second day into the trip and it did not disappoint. Had a fantastic time and will definitely do it again when we come back next year !!!
I attended a show with family members who were at a wedding. We enjoyed it from the VIP dinner seats. While the first-floor seats allowed us to see the show up close, we had to look up from our seats, making it seem like the second-floor general seating would provide a better overall view of the stage. It was an American-style impersonation show, and not only was the quality impressive, but the structure of the show and the performers' likenesses were also quite moving. Many stars, from Elvis to Michael, made appearances. Additionally, the fire dance and hula dance were very captivating.
結婚式に参加の親族でショーを見学。
VIPディナー席で観賞しました。
1階席で目の前でショーを見れますが、席からは見上げる形になり
舞台全体を見るなら、2階の一般席の方が見やすそうでした。
アメリカ版モノマネショーでしたが、出来栄えもさることながら
ショーの構成も演者さんのそっくり度も、かなりの感動ものでした。
エルビスからマイコーまで多くのスター?が登場します。
また、ファイアーダンスやフラダンスも、とても見応えはありました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.

Saw whales, multiple sea turtles, eels & got to pet an octopus! Great trip.. will do again on next trip!
Thank you for being part of our memory making. It was an amazing experience. Your crew was extremely attentive and going out of their way to make our experience a pleasant one. We will certainly use your services again whenever we get the opportunity. Thank you
The location of the show is very convenient, making it easy to get to. The food at the show was also very delicious, and the performance itself was impressive and moving. I definitely want to use this again when I go to Hawaii!
ショーの場所は、とても立地が良く、行くのに便利です。ショーの食事もとても美味しくて、ショー自体も迫力があり、とても感動しました。またハワイに行くときは、ぜひ利用したいです!

Toa was a great guide. He was very enjoyable to listen to. Enjoyed the day.
The weather was perfect, with a blue sea and blue sky, making it an ideal location. I was able to experience a slightly glamorous atmosphere in my dream destination, Hawaii.
The reception was a bit confusing. When I asked someone sitting under a sunshade if this was the right place, they said it was fine, but boarding was actually from in front of the Halekulani hotel, which is right next to the meeting point hotel.
Since there was no announcement to move, I had no choice but to follow the people who started walking, which made me anxious about whether I was in the right place. Because of this, I give it four stars.
Before boarding, the staff instructed us to take photos, so everyone ended up taking them. At the end, there was a photo sale, but you can skip that without any issue.
When boarding, they recommended taking off sandals since we would be entering the water a bit. If the sandals were sandy, the crew would wash them in a bucket before handing them back.
Drinks were served on the boat, but all the explanations were in English. Some Japanese guests seemed hesitant and didn't take the drinks. I think it's fine to ask if you don't understand.
I was surprised when they stopped the boat offshore and said we could swim. Foreign guests quickly changed into swimsuits and jumped into the sea. It looked so refreshing that I wanted to give it a try.
Inside the boat, American music was playing loudly, and the cheerful crew kept the atmosphere lively. Although the boarding time was short, it was just right for enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea.
天気に恵まれ、青い海に青い空、と絶好のロケーション。憧れのハワイでちょっとセレブな雰囲気を味わえました。
受付がわかりにくく、日除けのパラソルの下に座っている人に声をかけるとここでいい、と言われたのですが、乗船は集合場所のホテルのひとつ隣のハレクラニの前からでした。
移動するようにと声がかかるわけではなかったので、先に待っている人が歩き出すのに付いていくしかなく、これでいいのかと不安になりました。その分☆4つです。
乗船前に写真撮影をするようにとスタッフが指示するので断れなくみんな撮ってました。最後に写真の販売があったのですが、これはスルーすれば大丈夫です。
乗船時にちょっと海に入るのでサンダルも脱ぐようにと勧められます。砂だらけのサンダルだとクルーがじゃぶじゃぶとバケツでサンダルを洗ってから渡してくれました。
船の中ではドリンクが配られるのですが、説明はすべて英語です。日本人でわからない人は遠慮してるのかドリンクを受け取らない人もいました。わからなければ聞けばいいと思います。
沖合でいったん船をとめ、泳いでいいよと声がかかったのには驚きました。外国人の方たちは、次々と水着になって海へ入っていきます。気持ちよさそうなので、チャレンジしたかったです。
船の中はアメリカンミュージックがガンガン流れ、陽気なクルーが盛り上げてくれました。短い乗船時間ですが、ワイキキを海から眺めるにはちょうどいいかな。
My 15 year old son and I had a wonderful sail and snorkel trip. The 3 person crew took great care of us and we got to see turtles, fish and whales. Very thankful for the cruise. Highly recommend them.
The crew was helpful. There were 7 large sea turtles out waiting to greet us. One of the crew members was in the water with us to keep us safe. We had a great time.
I have been on a Catamaran before and this one just really didn't have enough seating for everyone. Was forced to seat on the floor at the front on the boat in a really uncomfortable position. Luckily me and my wife are young so we could deal with it. If you are a older person, you should get there early to get a more suitable seat.
This sail was great and I like it . Just the location was difculty to find for me. I walked around for while and asked a few of people, finally I found boarding place it is the time for boarding already.
Otherwise everything is very good, the stuff is nice and professional, the weather is good and the sailing tour is very enjoyable.
Awesome, took my wife for Valentines Day. She was totally impressed. Would certainly see again.
Had such an amazing time! Got to see lots of fish & sea turtles, even got to hold an octopus. The crew members were very helpful & very nice. Best snorkeling adventure! Would recommend to everyone!!
