Waikiki
I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.
会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか？食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか？まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。

On the day of arrival, I had some time before check-in, so I participated. It was a very comfortable stimulation for my slightly dazed mind. The boat, moving refreshingly with just the wind, allows you to feel the wind, sea, and sun directly on your body, unlike larger ships. The hour-long duration was just right.
到着した日、チェックインまでに時間があったので、参加しました。少しぼーっとした頭に、とても快適な刺激でした。風だけで、爽快に進んでいく船は、他の大きな船と違って、体に直接風や海や太陽を感じます。1時間ほどの時間も丁度よかったです。

The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.
料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!
I signed up for the activity on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Running through the blue sky with the wind while listening to music was incredibly refreshing and felt great. I saw a lot of big turtles. I definitely want to participate again!
知人に勧められてアクテビィティ申し込みました。
音楽をかけながら青い空を風をきって走るのはすごく爽快で気持ちよかったです。大きな亀がたくさん見れました。
また是非参加したいです！

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.
Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.
We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.
I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.
今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール３ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.
Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.
P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.
前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
しかし、５００名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし（特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動！おかわりしちゃいました♪）ドリンク（ビールorソフトドリンク）も２杯飲めるし。
ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。
追記：室内だからファイヤーダンスはありませんでした。

Although I was very unhappy about the seating arrangement, overall it was great.
Great Show, Enjoyed the Venue....food not to great?
I participated because I wanted to ride on a yacht rather than a large ship.
The floor of the yacht is netted, allowing you to see the ocean! (Of course, there are also seats that are not netted.)
When the wind blows, ocean spray hits you and it's chilly, but that's part of the fun.
You can order alcohol and soft drinks, and I enjoyed sipping a margarita while relaxing and gazing at the vast ocean under the blue sky. It felt wonderful!
I was lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins.
Not all the participants were Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so there were generally no issues.
For those who might get seasick, it could be a concern, but the participation fee isn't too high, so I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to feel the Hawaiian breeze!
大きな船ではなくヨットにのりたくて参加しました。
ヨットの足元はネット状になっていて、海が見られます！
（もちろんネットになっていない座席もありますよ）
風がふくとオーシャンスプレーがかかってちべたいですが、それもまた楽しい。
アルコールやソフトドリンクもオーダーでき、
青い空のしたで大きな海を眺めながらのんびりマルガリータを飲みました。
とっても気持ちよかった！
私はラッキーなことにイルカもたくさん見られました。
ほかの参加者はみんな日本人ではありませんでしたが、
ガイドの人が日本語が話せるので、だいたい問題ありません。
あんまり船酔いする人はあれかもしれませんが、
参加費もそんなに高くないので、
ハワイの風を感じたい人にはとってもおすすめです！

It was a day with very strong winds. I was prepared to get wet, but it was beyond what I expected. I think it would be better to participate in a swimsuit. It was a lot of fun, but rather than elegant sailing, it felt like an exhilarating banana boat ride.
However, I had some trouble finding the check-in, as it was at the beach behind the Outrigger Hotel. I was looking for someone dressed appropriately, but in reality, there was just an ordinary guy sitting under a beach umbrella. The boarding area was about 50 meters away from there, and it might be more accurate to say it was near the beach in front of the Halekulani Hotel.
Additionally, I was informed on-site that the sailing would start 30 minutes late. As expected, it's Hawaii time! If you have plans after sailing, I think it's good to be aware that such things can happen.
風がとても強い日の参加となりました。
ぬれることは覚悟でしたが・・・・半端じゃなかったです。
水着で参加するほうがいいと思います。
とても楽しいですが、優雅にセーリングというより、スリル満点のバナナボートって感じでした。
ただ、チェックインは、アウトリガーホテル裏のビーチでの受付だということで、受付の人を探すのに手間取りました。
それらしい格好をした人を探していたのですが、実際は、砂浜のパラソルの下に普通のおじさんが座ってるんです。乗船する場所は、そこから５０メートルくらい離れていて、ハレクラニホテル前ビーチのそばという方が正確かもしれません。
それから、セーリング開始が３０分遅れになることを現地で聞かされました。さすが、ハワイ時間！セーリングの後に何か予定を組まれる方は、こんなこともあるので、注意された方がいいかと思います。

The location was hard to find, and when I called, a foreigner answered and hung up on me. When I returned after it was over, there was a sign out. The content was very good.
場所がわかりにくくＴＥＬしたけど外人が出て切れて
しまった。終わってから戻ったら看板が出してありました。
内容はとても良かったです。

The Catamaran was great. Hosts were very friendly. We saw whales and dolphins. This is well worth the price. My whole family enjoyed the ride. Hawaii was more than we ever imagined. The view from the catamaran was great. See a couple of pictures.
Until now, I had only been on large ship cruises, but this time I chose a yacht. Besides us, everyone else was foreign, and I liked that it didn't feel like a "Japanese option." After boarding, the staff provided explanations in English, and although there were parts I didn't understand, it added to the excitement of being in a foreign land! The boat advanced into the sea, splashing water, and it was a luxurious experience to be so close to the staff as they raised the sails and steered the boat. We didn't see any dolphins or whales, though...
I would like to use this service again.
今までは大型船のクルーズばかりでしたが、
今回はヨットにしました。
私たちのほかは、みんな外人で、”日本人向けオプション”ではない感じが良かったです。
乗船後は、スタッフから英語で説明があり、わからない部分もありましたが、またこれが異国の地だという感じで気分が高揚します！
船は水しぶきをあびながら、海へつきすすみ、
帆をあげ、舵をとるスタッフの方々も間近で、
なんともいえない贅沢な時間でした。
イルカもくじらも見ることはできませんでしたが・・・。
また利用したいと思います。

It was a daytime sailing on a catamaran, and it was just the right amount of time for beginners, feeling very pleasant. I think even small children can enjoy this sailing experience. On the way back to the beach, the direction changed, and just when I was wondering what was happening, we found ourselves among a pod of wild dolphins! Being surrounded by so many dolphins was amazing! I will definitely go again if I have the chance.
カタマランのデイタイムセーリングでしたが、初心者にも丁度よい時間で気持ちよかったです。小さい子でも十分に楽しめるセーリングだと思います。ビーチに帰る途中に方向が変わり、あれ？と思ったら野性のイルカの群れの中に！たくさんのイルカに囲まれて最高でした！また機会があったら乗りに行きます。

We went with 4 couples and had a blast at this luau. The luau grounds is beautiful - the lagoon is such a nice touch and different than other luau's we have been to previous years. The food is excellent - and the entertainment is incredible. Thank you for the perfect ending to our Hawaiian Vacation!
This was the best times we had in Hawaii. The Snorkeling was great we got to see Sea Turtles and lots of other cool looking fish. After the snorkeling they took the group out sailing and it was even better. We all got drunk and had a awesome time and wonderful day. We to a Cocktail Cruise with them the last day of our trip. Most recommened.
