Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I wanted to see a show nearby, so I participated. I think this is what a luau show is like, but I was disappointed that the buffet-style meal was not great.
ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジに泊まっていたので、近くでショーを見たいと思って参加しました。ルアウショーはこんなものなのかなと思いますが、ビュッフェ形式の食事がもう一つで残念でした。

I participated on the day of arrival.
Since I had the opportunity, I chose the Golden Circle, and it was definitely the right decision.
I was able to watch the show right up close to the stage, and it was incredibly powerful—I could even feel the warmth of the fire.
With the Golden Circle, in addition to receiving a shell lei upon entry, you also get a fresh flower lei, and you can go to the luau buffet with priority. It was definitely worth it just for the premium seating.
However, unfortunately, it was a very windy day, and it was quite cold, so it's advisable to bring a jacket.
I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food while experiencing Hawaiian culture.

Due to the request of my companions, we tried the standard height! The instructor didn't speak much Japanese, so all the explanations were in English and gestures, but I was able to understand enough to enjoy the experience. The driver who picked us up was also a foreigner and couldn't speak Japanese.
We were encouraged to purchase photos and DVDs, but since we all brought our own cameras, we took turns taking pictures of each other. The boat mentioned that tips were included in the price, but we had a great time and since we didn't buy any photos or DVDs, I gave a $20 tip. If they had informed us about the cost of the photos and DVDs when we signed up, I might have purchased them. I only brought enough money for tips, so I didn't have much cash on hand. I think they mentioned it was around $30.
Our tour started at 9:00 AM (pickup was at 8:15), so we returned to the hotel a little after 10:30. It was enough time to make other plans for parasailing in the afternoon. Next time, I want to challenge myself with the longest one!
同乗者の希望で、標準の高さでトライ!。インストラクターはあまり、日本語が話せず、全て英語とジェスチャーでの説明であったが、それなりにわかるもので、体験できた。
お迎えのドライバーも外人で、日本語離せない。
写真・DVD購入を勧められるが、それぞれ自前のカメラ等を持参していたので、交代しながら、カメラで撮影しあいをした。船には、チップは料金に含まれていると、書いてあるが、十分楽しめたし、写真・DVDの購入もしなかったので、20ドル渡した。
申込時の案内で写真・DVDの代金を知らせていてくれたら購入したかもしれない。チップ程度しか持参していなかったので、持ち金がなかった。確か、30ドルって言っていたような。
9時の回のスタート(迎えは8:15)だったので、ホテルに戻ってきたのは、10時30分過ぎ。十分昼からの別の予定が立つパラセイリングだった。次は、1番長いのに挑戦したい。

We chose the buffet style, and it was a fun meal while enjoying live guitar performances and hula dancing.
After the meal, we were led to the venue where the show began.
Everything was performed live by the band and look-alikes singing, with an astonishingly high level of quality. It's completely different from Japanese comedy look-alikes. In between, there were hula dances arranged in a rock style. After the show, there was also a time for commemorative photos.
It was truly a worthwhile and enjoyable entertainment experience.

The VIP Green Room Dinner and Show was the ultimate Legends in concert experience. Before the dinner my wife and I had the opportunity to relax in the VIP section where the complimentary drink and snacks set the right tone for the evening. The Elvis impersonator was available to take pictures minutes prior to being seated a few feet from the stage. The main course was delicious. Wife said the Steak was excellent but didn't care for the Salmon. I enjoyed them both. The drink tickets were an added benefit to compliment an already wonderful dinner. The desert was a delicious and beautifully arrange. The show began at about 815PM and the ELVIS impersonator was an awesome entertainer. He did about 4 songs to open the show and really had us comfortable and enjoying the show. He came off the stage and greeted the guest in the VIP section and planted a kiss and lei on a few unsuspecting women, my wife being one of them. Then the Lady Gaga impersonator had an outstanding performance. She WOWed the crowd with a descending entrance from above the stage. She was very fitting for show and a joy to watch. The The Michael Jackson impersonator was to the letter dancing like Mike. Although he wasn't as vocal as the other performers, those classic Michael Jackson dance move had us clapping and snapping. There were several other performances between impersonators that were very well performed as well. The host, ELVIS, did a final stage appearance and the grand finale was epic. After the show we had the opportunity to take photos with the entertainers and consume more beverages. Just as we thought the night was complete, a young lady validated our parking and we only paid 8 dollars in the Royal Hawaiian Parking Garage. My wife enjoyed it so much she said she's coming back. It was actually the best stage performance I'd ever been to. From check-in to check-out the whole experience was over the top classic.

Alright, I'm ready for more challenges!

Since I have been let go by Spider Man because he moved on in life recently, I have now been contracted by Iron Man to be his editor and newspaper publisher. Iron Man had told me that while he is in Oahu, he wants to do something fun and exciting. So I did my research and found hawaiiactivities.com - Veltra. They had great reviews of Hawaiian Parasail and they are the highest ranked for customer reviews! Veltra has a 9:00am early bird special that is reasonably priced, so that is what we booked for. As we checked into Hawaiian Parasail, the reservation agents Loke and Keri were very welcoming with an ample amount of Aloha. They got us checked in and ready to board as we met Captain Jayme and crew member Jason. As we were sailing out to sea, there was quite a bit of nervousness from everyone on the boat. It was everyone's first time, and there was 1 woman who went by herself and she could not swim. So Iron Man voluntarily flew tandem with her, and I stayed on boat as an observer so Iron Man could save her lonesome day. As Iron Man started to get ready to go up, Jason and I were getting all the photos in as we could. Since I am only an editor, my pictures were not of great quality compared to Jason's. It was a smooth ride the whole time for them until they were returning back to the boat. The female started trembling with fear as they started to get dipped in the ocean. Her body twisted as she almost did a 360, until Iron Man caught the line to prevent her from doing so. As we got back to the hut, Keri and Loke displayed their images of Iron Man's event. He saved the day again and he had an amazing time. All in thanks to Hawaiian Parasail & Veltra!

If you are contemplating going, don't think - just book it! Rock-a-Hula is by far one of the more entertaining shows here on Oahu. You can only watch so many luaus before getting sick of them. If you enjoy Vegas shows, this is on the same scale. Also make sure to book the VIP backstage package. It was definitely worth having the show producer show us the entire stage, meet and greet with the crew, etc. - especially if anyone in your group is interested in theater. The food was several times greater than what we ate at other shows that cost more as well, with a 4-course surf and turf. The end dessert was delic'. The entire staff was very professional and you could tell they wanted you to really enjoy their performance as they must put a lot of work making the magic happen. My mother in law thought Elvis looked more handsome than the real deal. The mannerisms of all the characters were spot on. Bravo to the dancers, especially to the fire juggler. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of Hawaii's cultural aspects into the show for that local touch.

I went to the show with my parents and my husband. It was our first time in Hawaii, so we had little clue what to do, what to see and where to go. My parents found out about the show from some Korean TV show(they came from Korea) and told me about it, so I got the VIP tickets. We stayed in Waikiki so we could Walk to the theater.
The producer showed us the behind scene such as dressing rooms and even let us walk on the stage. There was a Hawaiian Flame show(I don't know the official name). It was actually my favorite part of the whole show. I was thrilled. I wanted to take a pictures with him but only the singers were out waiting for the photo time. That was disappointing.
There were a lot of Hawaiian dances. I thought the this Hawaiian dance part is something that I wouldn't be able to see in any other cities.
And "Michael Jackson" had the same nose job as the real Michael Jackson. Haha. His moon walk was great.
The dinner was served right before the show for about an hour and the food was very delicious. I was in the VIP seat so I was served the full course dinner. The dessert, molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was heavenly.
The only downside I thought about the show was the fewer numbers of the legend singers than I would like to see. I was expecting about five singers but it was 1 hour and 20 minutes show with three singers.
I was just glad that my mom loved the show. She doesn't speak English but music doesn't require languages. It is all about the showman ship and atmosphere.
Overall it was a good show and I recommend this show to everyone!

It was a great tour where I could enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea in a short time. Since we went quite far out, it was a bit rocky, and the splashes of water made it chilly, so it's necessary to wear long sleeves or take measures against the sea breeze. The boarding area was a little hard to find.

We had one instructor for three people. It was my second time surfing, while the other two were surfing for the first time. Waikiki Beach has gentle waves and is quite shallow, so even those who are not confident swimmers can feel safe. Most other surfing lessons are two hours long, and since I was exhausted from my previous surfing lesson, I decided to go with this one-hour option. The waves weren't very high, but everyone was able to ride at least three times for sure. I wonder if I could have ridden more? I felt a bit unsatisfied with just one hour, but the two beginners seemed quite tired after that hour. Next time, I want to try the two-hour course and challenge myself with slightly higher waves! After all, surfing in Hawaii is the best. I definitely want to surf again the next time I go to Hawaii!
3人にインストラクターが1人ついて教えてもらいました。私は2回目のサーフィン、他2人は初のサーフィン。ワイキキビーチは波が穏やかで、かなり遠浅だったのでポイントでも足がつくので泳ぎが不安なひとでも大丈夫です。他のサーフィンレッスンは2時間が多く、前のサーフィンレッスンでクタクタになったので今回は1時間にしようと思いこちらを選びました。波はそんなに高くないですが、全員3回は確実にのれました。もっと乗れたかな?私は1時間で少し物足りなかったけど、初めての2人は1時間でかなり疲れたみたいです。次回は2時間コースで、もう少し高めの波にチャレンジしたいです!何はともあれ、やっぱりハワイでするサーフィンは最高です。次回もハワイに行くときは必ずサーフィンしたいです!
Dear JUNPI,
Thank you very much for using Waikiki Beach Services. All of our activities are set for one hour. As you mentioned, two hours can be too long for beginners. When you're tired, spending a long time in the water increases the risk of accidents. We prioritize our customers' safety above all.
For those who feel that one hour is not enough, we also offer board rentals at the same location, so you can continue to enjoy activities afterward.
As you know, wave conditions change depending on the season and weather. During the winter months in Hawaii, there are usually very few waves on the South Shore. We hope you can visit again in the summer!
We look forward to seeing you again.

JUNPI様:
この度はワイキキビーチサービスをご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございました。 弊社のアクティビティーは全て1時間となっています。その利用はお客様がおっしゃっているように、2時間では初心者の方には長すぎるからなのです。疲れているときに長い間水中に入っていますと、事故に繋がる確立も増えます。弊社ではお客様の安全を第一に考えております。
1時間では足りないと思うお客様には、その後、ボードレンタルも同じ場所で行っておりますので、続けてアクティビティーを楽しんでいただける事も可能です。
ご存知のとおり、波のコンディションは時期や天候にによって変わります。ハワイの冬の時期はサウスショアには殆ど波がございません。次回は夏にいらっしゃってみてくださいね!

I participated with my 10-year-old daughter. We were blessed with good weather and were able to see whales. It seemed a bit high and scary for my daughter, but it turned out to be a valuable experience for her. Since we didn't have anyone else with us, there was no one to take our picture when we were up, so it might be nice to have someone join us on the boat. There is a paid photographer who can take pictures, which is sufficient for those who prefer that, just for reference.

I participated at my husband's request. Everyone else was from Europe or America, but the staff spoke some broken Japanese, and there were Japanese notes for instructions, so it was fine.
We started flying about 10 minutes out on the boat. It felt amazing, and we even saw a whale by chance (we could see its tail). However, my husband got seasick and ended up throwing up a little in the sea. (^_^;)
The boat didn't move much in the open water, and it often stopped riding the waves, so it was quite rocky. Other tours might have similar experiences, but I strongly recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it. (By the way, those who are fine with it shouldn't have any problems. My husband was the only one out of ten participants who got sick.)
The flight time isn't very long, but you can see beautiful scenery and the horizon, and it gives you an indescribable sense of freedom. I couldn't take photos myself, but you can buy the ones taken by the staff with their DSLR camera. They seem to burn a lot of photos and videos directly onto a DVD for you. (I think it was around $30 or $40?)
There were also some strong individuals using waterproof cameras and selfie sticks. There was nothing particularly scary, and I thought that if it was like this, I would be happy to do it again and again.
主人の意向で参加。
私たち以外は全員欧米人だったのですが、スタッフさんは片言の日本語と、注意書きの日本語メモもあったので大丈夫でした。
船で沖に10分位進んだところで飛行スタート。
すごく気持ちよかったし、偶然クジラも見ることができました。(尾ひれも見えました)
ただ、主人が船に酔ってしまい、軽く海に吐いてしまいました。(^_^;)
沖では船はあまり進まず、波に乗って停止することも多いので揺れるんですね。。。
ほかの船に乗って行くツアーも一緒なのでしょうが、日ごろ酔いやすい方は酔い止めを強く勧めます。(ちなみに平気な方はまったく問題がないはずです。酔っていたのは、参加者10人中、うちの主人だけでした)
飛行時間はそんなに長くないですが、きれいな景色と水平線が見えますし、なんとも言えない開放感を感じることができます。
写真は自分では撮れなかったので、スタッフさんの一眼レフで撮ってくれたものを買う事ができます。たくさんの写真と映像をそのままDVDに焼いてくれるようです。(30ドルだか40ドルだかだったかな?)
防水対応のカメラで、自撮り棒を駆使している強者もいましたよ。
特に怖いこともなく、こんな感じなら私は何度でもやって良いなと思いました。

ただ、マイタイを飲みながらパーティー気分でノリノリの外国人の中で、無口な日本人の私たち家族はずっと雰囲気に乗り切れないままでしたが・・でも下船後はトイレを我慢していたので、全員がシェラトンホテルのトイレに直行でした。

There is a shuttle service to the hotel. The cheerful driver, Yano-san (who also takes turns as the captain), explains the city in clear and friendly English throughout the ride. When I asked if parasailing was difficult, he assured me that it was neither difficult nor dangerous, and that the parasailing company is very steady with no accidents reported. The two captains on the boat today were also veterans (he mentioned he is a veteran too), so there was no need to worry.
In fact, I was able to wear my glasses while parasailing, and it was mostly calm and stable with hardly any swaying. I felt reassured that even children could enjoy it at a reasonable height without any concerns. As we approached nearly 100 meters, the rope got a bit longer, and I started to feel a slight sway, but they began to lower us down just then. We landed smoothly, being gently guided back to the original spot by the rope. Just before landing, they playfully let our feet touch the water. They took plenty of photos (for $30, and they made sure to show me the images). At noon, it just happened to be my family of three, but there were about ten people on the previous course (including two young Japanese couples), and there were about ten more after us (no Japanese, but a lively group of three girls waiting who were very excited and even had head cameras ready).
While waiting for the return car, a cheerful and lively girl at the reception offered us juice and snacks, and during the ride back, she gave us very cold juice with ice. The boat ride was pleasant as it cut through the wind. I didn't need any motion sickness medication at all. I felt inclined to give a tip naturally! (I gave $30).
ホテルまで送迎あり。日系人(沖縄系)のとっても陽気なドライバー/ヤノサン(船長も交代でしているとのこと)が、乗っている間中わかりやすい英語でフランクに街中の説明をしてくれる。パラセールは難しいかと聞くと、まったく難しくもなく危険でもない、パラセール社はとてもステディな会社で無事故と言っていた。また今日の船の船長二人もベテランで(自分もベテランだけど)心配ないと。
実際、パラセイルは眼鏡もしたままで大丈夫だったし、ほとんど揺れもなく静かで安定していた。これなら子供でもそこそこの高さなら全然心配ないと納得した。100m近くなるとちょっとロープも長くなり、揺れもわずかに出てきて気になりだした時には下がり始めた。ちゃんと元の場所にロープに惹かれて着地する。途中着艦直前に御愛嬌で足を軽く水面に触れさせてくれる。写真もたくさん撮ってくれた(30ドル、画像確認もちゃんとしてくれた)。12時はたまたま私たち家族3人だけだったが、前のコースは10人ほどいたし(若い日本人カップル2人も)、後にも10人くらいいた(日本人はなし、待っていた元気な女の子3人組もヘッドカメラまで準備してとても楽しみにしていた)。帰りの車を待っているときは、受付のこれも陽気で快活な女の子がジュースやお菓子を出してくれ、帰りの車中でも氷ですごく冷えたジュースをくれた。
船も風を切り気持ちよかった。まったく酔い止めも必要なかった。チップも自然と弾みたくなる!(私は30ドル)
