We participated at the request of my son, who is in the first year of junior high school.
There were about 20 participants, and we were the only Japanese. First, we headed to Diamond Head and fished at about four different spots. We were able to catch some fish, which made for great memories. We caught a magnificent fish about 40 centimeters long, and the staff grilled it for us, and it was delicious♪
I was worried about the lack of transportation, but it wasn't a problem. It took about 15 minutes by taxi from our hotel (Waikiki) to get there. On the way back, we walked to the nearby Ward Center to do some shopping, played at the arcade in the Ward Entertainment Center, and also stopped by the Whole Foods Market next door. I called Hanataxi (they speak Japanese) to pick us up from Whole Foods and take us back to the hotel.
I'm really glad we decided to participate. Thank you!
中1息子の希望で参加しました。
20人ほどの参加者で日本人は私たちだけでした。
まずダイヤモンドヘッドに向かいそこから4ヶ所ほどポイントを変えながら釣りをしました。
無事に釣れて良い思い出ができました。
40センチくらいの立派な魚で、スタッフさんがグリルしてくださりおいしくいただきました♪
送迎が無いのが心配でしたが問題ありませんでした。
行きはホテル(ワイキキ)からタクシーで15分ほど。
帰りはすぐ近くにあるワードセンターに徒歩で行き買い物をして、ワードエンターテイメントセンターのゲームセンターで遊び、隣にあるホールフーズマーケットにも寄りました。ハナタクシー(日本語でok)に電話してホールフーズに来てもらいホテルに戻りました。
思い切って参加して本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました

We participated as a family of four, including our 7-year-old and 12-year-old children. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but before we even left the harbor, the other passengers started getting seasick one after another. It turned into a situation where some passengers were vomiting inside the boat due to motion sickness. The staff tried their best to lift the mood, but the energy among the other members plummeted, and eventually, the kids also started feeling queasy and expressed a desire to go home early. Fortunately, we managed to get some air while returning to port. It might not be advisable to do this on days with strong swells.
7歳と12歳の子供含めて家族4人で参加しました。事前に酔い止めを服用しての参加でしたが、港を出て沖に出る前に同乗していた方々が次々に酔ってしまい、同乗者達が波酔いで船内で吐いたりしてるなかでの催行となりました。スタッフたちはなんとか盛り上げようとしてくれましたが、他のメンバーはテンションがダダ下がり、次第に子供達ももらい酔いして早く帰りたいと言い出すほどでした。帰港しながらなんとか空に上がる事ができたのが不幸中の幸いでした。余りうねりが強い日にやるものではないかもしれません。

I had been curious about this activity for a while since it was featured in several TV programs, and everyone who watched it said, "It was fun!" I participated with another adult woman, but as mentioned in previous reviews, the minimum number of participants is "three," so we paid for three people to join. With fewer participants, a staff member will accompany you to paddle together.
Before we started, I was a bit anxious, but once we got into the canoe, all my worries disappeared. We all paddled hard out to sea, waited for good waves, and when the right wave came, we paddled hard again to start! The thrill of the canoe riding the waves was amazing! I felt like I understood why surfers get so caught up in the waves. We managed to ride the waves three times.
Next time I visit Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this activity!
いくつかのTV番組などで紹介されていて、どれを見ても「面白かった!」との感想だったので、前々から気になっていたアクティビティでした。
大人な年齢の女性二人で参加したのですが、前のクチコミの方がおっしゃっていたように、最低申込人数が「三人」となっているので、三人分の料金を払って参加しました。少ない参加人数だと、ちゃんと後ろに一緒に漕いでくれるスタッフの方が付いてくれます。
始まる前は少々不安でしたが、いざ、カヌーに乗り込んでしまえばそんな不安は吹っ飛びました。沖の方までみんなで一生懸命にカヌーをこいで、沖で良い波を待ち、乗れる波が来たら、再び一生懸命前に漕いでスタート!
カヌーが波に乗って走る疾走感!!最高でした。サーファーの方たちの波に夢中になる気持ちがわかったような気がしました。三回、波に乗れました。
次回、ハワイを訪れたら、絶対リピート、決定です。

On the day of arrival, I went straight from the airport. Since we had to change into swimsuits for the gathering, I changed in the airport restroom. It's very close to Hilton Waikiki.
We put on life jackets and boarded a small boat to depart. One group at a time was lifted up, and we were in the air for a little over five minutes. The view of Diamond Head and the town was beautiful.
The whole experience lasted about an hour, but be careful as I got sunburned on my thighs because I didn't apply sunscreen there. Also, the boat was small and rocked quite a bit; my friend got very seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, so it might be a good idea to take stronger medicine. Due to the rocking, it's easy to get splashed, so I think it's better to have your smartphone in a waterproof case. By the way, it would be good to check if photos come out well, including selfies, while in the waterproof case, as you can take nice pictures in the air. Mine turned out a bit dark!
You will change into swimsuits again, but you won't get completely soaked; it's just your backside that gets a little wet when you come down!
到着日に空港から直行しました。
水着に着替えて集合だったので、空港のトイレで着替えて行きました。ヒルトンワイキキのすぐ近くです。
ライフジャケットを着て、小さめの船に乗り出発しました。一組ずつ上げてもらい、5分強ほど上空でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドや町がよく見えてきれいでした。
全体で1時間ほどでしたが、太ももに日焼け止めを塗らずにいたらしっかり焼けたので気をつけてください。また船が小さくかなり揺れて、友人は酔い止めを飲んでいてもかなり酔っていたので、強めの薬を飲むなど対策するといいかもしれません。揺れもあって、水がかかりやすいのでスマホは防水カバーしたほうがいいと思います。ちなみに防水カバーした状態でインカメ含め写真がきれいに映るか確認したほうが、上空でいい写真が撮れるかと思います。私は少し暗い写りになってしまいました!
また水着に着替えますが、がっつり濡れるというよりは、降りてくる時にお尻だけ濡れる程度です!

I was unfortunately unable to join because of my 2-year-old daughter, but my son said that one of the most fun things he experienced this time was flying in the sky.

I was worried about the plan until just before, and I made the reservation in the middle of the night on the day of the event, but it was great that I could book smoothly. Also, since we stayed at Hilton, it was convenient to be close to the meeting point!

I made a last-minute reservation for parasailing on the same day in the afternoon, and I challenged myself at the final slot (5:00 PM)! Everything from the reservation to the guidance on-site was smooth, and it became an unforgettable experience. I tend to get seasick, so I took motion sickness medication, but I think it's easier to get sick while moving on the small boat than when flying, so I recommend taking medication if you're worried about it. I definitely want to do it again!
思い立って当日の午後予約、最終(17:00)でパラセイリングにチャレンジしました!予約から現地での案内まで全てスムーズで、一生忘れられない体験となりました。私は船酔いしやすいので酔い止めの薬を服用しましたが、飛んでいる時よりも小型船で移動している時の方が酔いやすいかと思うので、心配な方は酔い止め服用をお勧めします。
また是非やりたいです!

This is not a review but rather information.
We participated with one male (85kg) and two females (50kg each). We flew together as a group of three. Requests for specific combinations cannot be made in advance. I think if there are about 2-3 people, you can generally fly together (depending on the total weight). The meeting place is a small hut about the size of two tatami mats.
- There is no transportation provided, so it's advisable to consider how to get there. It was within walking distance to the pink trolley.
- A voucher (displayed on your smartphone is fine).
- It might be helpful to have a translation app at the reception. They spoke the bare minimum of Japanese on the boat, so it was manageable.
- Changing clothes is not possible, so it's better to arrive wearing your swimsuit. There doesn't seem to be a place to change around the reception area.
- You can take photos during the flight with your smartphone, but since you will get wet, it's advisable to take waterproof measures.
- I wore glasses, and there were no particular issues. However, if they are loose, it might be dangerous.
- At the reception, you just need to show your voucher to the person inside the hut. Each participant will sign a waiver. You will need to write your name in kanji, your name in English, and the date (month/day/year). They will guide you on where to write.
- They will take photos for you. After the flight, you can view the photos at the reception, and if you like them, you can buy the SD card for $40. Card payments are accepted.
- You will need to place your belongings and shoes under the seat before flying. You might get a little wet from splashes, but you won't get soaked.
- Regarding the theft of personal belongings, it seems safe if multiple groups are participating. Given the environment, it's difficult for someone to sneakily rummage through bags under the seats.
- The clothes you are wearing (swimsuits) and items you carry while flying will get wet, so it's a good idea to have a towel.
- Cancellations depend on the weather (not just rain, but also wind and waves). If flying is not possible, they seem to offer refunds or rescheduling for another day. (In my case, half of the flights were canceled.)

I participated in parasailing starting at 11 o'clock. The guide was a local, but when giving instructions, they spoke simple Japanese like "sit" and "stand," so I think even those who don't understand English can participate in the activity with peace of mind. I chose a height of 120 meters, which was sufficiently high and thrilling. The sky was clear, and the view was amazing. I asked someone who was on the boat with me to take photos from the boat. I also put my phone in a waterproof case with a transparent string and took photos and videos from the sky.

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.
The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.
The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.
The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.
Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.
After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.
You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.
After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!
The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.
Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.

以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。
会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。
16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…!並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。
当日はハワイらしい快晴!開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。
会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ!全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。
しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。
食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる?」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。
一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった~!
ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス!!
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事!火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。
他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。
なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず!
(一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。)
ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました!

I had previously experienced parasailing in Guam, but this time my middle school grandson wanted to try it, so we did a 120-meter experience. Seeing my grandson's happy face made me feel that it was worth it.
以前グアムでパラセイリングの経験はありましたが、今回中学生の孫が飛んでみたいと言うので120メートルの体験をしました。
孫の楽しそうな顔を見て、やってよかったなと思いました。

My 12 year enjoyed a lot. I am a non swimmer but with Faith guide it was a very good experience.

It was cloudy with a chance of rain, and we were told it might be canceled, but the rain stopped and we were able to experience it. (The people from the earlier time had their experience canceled due to the rain.)
It was so much fun while flying!!
Whether or not you choose the photo option affects the duration of your stay in the air. Since we said we didn't need photos, we were brought down faster than those who were taking pictures. Also, some people who got motion sickness had their experience canceled, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
曇りのち雨で、もしかしたらキャンセルかもと言われていましたが、雨が止み体験可能となりました。(前の時間の人たちは雨のため、キャンセルとなっていました。)
飛んでいる時はとっても楽しい!!
写真のオプションをつけるか、つけないかで空中の滞在時間が変わります。写真はいらないと言った私たちは、写真を撮る人たちよりも早く下ろされました。また、船酔いしてしまった人もキャンセルとなっていたので、しっかり酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。

We participated because the kids wanted to go parasailing. It was higher than we imagined, and the parents were scared, but the kids said it was the best part of the trip. The meeting point with the voucher was a bit unclear, but we received a tour reservation email the day before, so we were able to gather without any confusion. It was also a plus that it was very close to the hotel.
子供達がパラセイリングがしたいということで参加しました。想像以上の高さで、親は怖かったけど、子供達はこの旅で1番よかったらしいです。バウチャーだと待ち合わせ場所がいまいちでしたが、前日にツアー予約メールがくるので、迷わず集合できました。ホテルからすぐだったのも良いポイントでした。

Twenty years ago, when I boarded, it was cramped and fully booked... The windows were small and hard to see out of, but this time I read in the reviews that the sea is clearer in the morning, so I made a reservation for the early morning. There happened to be only six of us on board... It felt like we had the place to ourselves, and my family was happy.
20年前に乗船した時は狭いし、満席で…
窓も小さくて見難かったけれど、今回は口コミを読んで朝の方が海が濁っていないとしり、朝イチで予約。
乗船したのが、たまたま6人だけで…ゆったり貸切気分で過ごせました。家族も喜んでいました。

The guides for this tour are all American, so if you don't understand English, you won't be able to enjoy it 100%. There is a Japanese audio guide available, but the guides tell a lot of jokes, so understanding them will enhance your experience.
The submarine is anchored offshore, and you will take a shuttle boat to get there. There are restrooms on the shuttle boat, so please take care of that before boarding.
At a depth of 30 meters, you can see the wreckage of fighter planes and sunken ships. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming above the sunken ship. The course lasts 40 minutes, but it goes by in no time. It seems that the sea is less murky in the morning.
このツアーのガイドはすべてアメリカ人なので、英語がわからないと100%は楽しめません。日本語オーディオガイドがありますが、ガイドの話はジョークが多いので、それがわかるともっと楽しめます。
潜水艦は沖に停泊しており、そこまでシャトルボートで向かいます。トイレはシャトルボートにあるので、乗り込む前に済ませておいてください。
水深30mmで潜ると、戦闘機の残骸や沈没船が見れます。今回ラッキーなことにウミガメが沈没船の上を泳いでいました。40分のコースですが、あっという間に終了します。午前中の方が海は濁ってないみたいです。

The captain and his helper were very kind and welcoming.
They could have explained the sitting stance 2 x to make sure the kids understood but besides that We all had an amazing time and we will definitely come back to you guys on our next trip out.
