Waikiki
This activity involves flying a sail with a wire while running on a boat, similar to kite flying. You go quite high, but because the sail is large, the descent is slow, and you don't feel that floating sensation in your stomach. The view from above was beautiful and calm, with no swaying left or right except for the wind, but looking down brought a considerable sense of fear due to the height.
The check-in was quick, just a signature, but the waiting time before starting was about 30 minutes. We went quite far offshore, and with two people in each of the five groups, we each flew for about 10 minutes in turn. The boat keeps moving during the trip back and forth and while the other groups are flying, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you are prone to getting seasick.
On the way back, as the wire is reeled in, each group gets partially dipped in the sea, but we ended up completely soaked, so wearing clothes that can get wet is advisable. Three of the participants were travelers from the mainland United States, and two groups, including ours, were travelers from Japan.
凧揚げをするように船で走りながらワイヤー付きのセイルを飛ばすアクティビティです。
かなり高いところまで行きますがセイルが大きいため、降下時もゆっくりでお腹がふわっとなる感覚はありません。
上空も左右に振られず風以外は穏やかで美しい景色を見れましたが、足元を見ると高さで中々の恐怖感がありました。
受付はサインだけなのですぐに終わりましたが、始まるまでの待ち時間は30分くらい。
船でかなり沖合まで出て、2人×5組いたのでそれぞれ順番に10分程飛びました。
行き帰りと他の組が飛んでいる間、船は走り続けますので少しでも乗り物で酔う人は酔い止めを飲んでおくことをおすすめします。
ワイヤーを巻き取って戻ってくる途中、どの組も海に半分だけ漬けられるのですが、我々だけ全身浸かってしまいずぶ濡れになりましたので、濡れてもいい服装がおすすめです。
参加者は3組がアメリカ本土からの旅行者で、我々を含む2組は日本からの旅行者でした。
What a great day, there was the sweetest turtle the whole time in the water
Like Sabrina Carpenter would say- short and sweet! Perfect to get out on the water and snorkeling right by the hotels!
It's a very convenient boat trip to consider entering the sea, starting from a location near the canal's seaside exit, within walking distance from our hotel. We returned still in our swimsuits.
We moved out to Waikiki Beach (about a 10-minute ride?), enjoyed activities like diving and playing in the sea, and by the time we were fully satisfied, it was sunset. We watched the sun sink into the ocean on our way back. The timing was just right. The water temperature was neither too cold nor too warm. I realized that it's easier to float in the sea than in the pool.
The boat had a bar counter where you could buy drinks. The crew was cheerful and serious, making us feel safe and able to enjoy ourselves. I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.
運河の海側の出口近く、我々のホテルから歩けるところからの出発で、海に入ることを考えるととても便利な船遊びです。帰りも水着のままで帰ってきました。
ワイキキビーチ沖まで移動して(10分くらい?)、飛び込みなど海遊びをして、満喫した頃に日没の時間。海に沈む夕日を眺めて帰ってくる。時間配分もちょうどよかったです。水温は冷たすぎず、ぬる過ぎず。海の方がプールより浮きやすいのを実感しました。
船には、バーカウンターがあり、飲み物を買うことができます。
クルーはみな陽気で真面目な印象で、安心して楽しめました。
事前の酔い止め服用は、お勧めします。
Great way to get a bus transfer and a stop at Leonards- a tourist dream :)
I went with children who aren't very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they had a great time. In addition, there are hula performances and fire shows, so I think it's a good show! Also, at the end, you can take photos with the performers and have conversations with them!
エルビスやマイケルをあまり知らない子供と行きましたがとても楽しんでいました。
それ以外にもフラやファイヤーショーなども見られるので良いショーだと思います!
また帰り際には出演者さんと一緒に写真が撮れ会話も交わせます!
Thank you very much for bringing your children to the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are delighted to hear that children from completely different generations enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにお子様たちとご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど世代が全く違うお子様たちとも楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Not really worth it.
Drinks are not offered until after you get out of the water. Kinda lame. But safety first, I get it. Ticket says 3 beverages. By the time you're out of the water and get a drink from the bar, you have about 15 minutes out on the water before getting back to the beach. I ordered two drinks and didn't have time to finish my second beverage. And you can't take them off the boat with you.
I saw two turtles. Water is not very clear and you are crowded by so many other tours. You are required to wear a life jacket the whole time, so you can't even dive down to take a closer look at the turtles. They're about 30 feet below you. One did surface, so that was cool.
Staff were super unenthusiastic. Yes, you're working. You live here. We're tourist, whatever. But at least smile. It's like none of them have ever traveled before. This is a bucket list adventure for some people. Maybe show some passion. The male guide couldn't project his voice whatsoever and had zero excitement in his voice when going over safety measures. The female guard also struggled with public speaking and wrapped it up with "I tried my best to make sure you all saw a turtle, if you didn't, that's your fault."
The only person on the boat who deserved part of the tip I left was the good looking thor dude. He was at least friendly. Mahalo to you.
Also. They advertise two hammock like seating areas. A couple scored the first one. The other one was occupied with thier equipment. I kindly asked if they could move it over 4 feet so I could sit there and the girl said no. I arrived early just to claim that spot. I was not the only person to ask, either. Maybe don't put the equipment in the most desirable area to sit?
Would not book again.
First, at the exchange window, I was treated poorly, which put me in a terrible mood on my first day in Hawaii. I kept telling myself that it had been five years since my last overseas trip and that I was just out of touch, trying not to get frustrated.
The drivers were all nice people! I recommend the East Oahu route for those who haven't been there before! However, the morning service can get crowded, with standing passengers. I've heard the afternoon is less busy. (There were some places that only stop on certain weekdays in the morning.)
Since my trip focused on shopping, the access to Ala Moana was not very convenient. The Pink Line doesn't come on time, and sometimes it's too full to board, plus there are all sorts of people riding it, so I hardly used it.
I recommend choosing a trolley that fits your travel purpose.
まず、引き換えの窓口で、散々な態度をとられ、ハワイ初日に最悪な気分になりました。5年ぶりの海外旅行で、平和ボケしてたんだと言い聞かせてイライラしないようにしてました。
運転手さんはみんないい人でした!
東オアフルートは行ったことない人にはおすすめです!が、朝の便は立ち乗りの人もいるくらい混みます。午後は空いてるそうです。(決められた曜日の午前しか立ち寄らない場所がありました)
買い物中心の旅だったので、アラモアナへのアクセスが悪く、使い勝手はあんまりでした。
ピンクラインは時間通りになんて来ないし、いっぱいで乗られないこともあるし、いろんな人が乗っているし、ほぼ使いませんでした。
ご自身の旅の目的に合わせて、トロリーを選ぶことをおすすめします。
Eight years ago, my daughter, who was in elementary school, said she wanted to see it again, so we participated. Unlike last time, we had a buffet meal before the show started. I think the content of the show was almost the same as before. We enjoyed the look-alike show, hula, and fireman show, among other things.
8年前に小学生だった娘がまた見たいと言うので、参加しました、前回と違いショーが始まる前にビュッフェでお食事、ショーの内容は前回とほぼ同じような感じだったと思います。そっくりさんショーとフラやファイアーマンショーなど楽しめました。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show for the second time after eight years with your daughter. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the Elvis and Michael performances, as well as the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Hawaii and hope to see you again.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーに8年ぶりに2回目として娘様とご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Generally, I think it's rare to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling. Here, they might be feeding them? I saw two sea turtles swimming normally, but there were more than five on the ocean floor, and I had a great time. The phrase "you will definitely see them!" seems to be true. You must wear a floatation device and cannot dive underwater, but I still had a lot of fun. If you can't speak any Japanese, it might be a bit challenging for those who don't speak English!
大概、ウミガメに会えるというシュノーケリングで、そうそう会えることもないのではと思う。
ここでは、餌付け?をしているのか、普通に泳いでいるウミガメは2匹だったが、海底にはそれ以上の5匹のウミガメがおり、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。
確実に会える!というフレーズは、確かだと思う。
浮きを必ず着用しなければならず、海中に潜水することは出来ないが、楽しく過ごすことが出来た。
日本語が全く使えないので、英語が話せない人は少し厳しいかも!
Excellent experience! Andrew was amazing! So much fun! He let us touch some
Marine life! So exciting! I would definitely recommend to family and friends! It was well organized and just amazing! Book the snorkeling early it's better! The location is perfect!
Our overall experience was good however there were a few bad eggs that turned the whole excursion sour. Mica, the young blonde girl, and Yoshi were all great staff members and added a positive outlook to our experience. However, Chad was a looming storm cloud that would ruin any fun and exuded a negative aura that lasted the whole trip.
After Mica gave us a rundown of the safety procedures, sign language and other diving fundamentals, we were given another debrief of these things by Chad. The experience was night and day. Mica was actually teaching and explaining how and why we do those things while Chad was quizzing us and giving condescending answers that weren't very helpful. When we would ask for clarification he would act like it's a quiz and would be hesitant to give us a straightforward answer. His tone was very condescending and he made us feel stupid despite us being brand new divers. Instead of quizzing us, how about answering our clarifying questions about the loads of safety information that we took in 20 minutes prior?
During the first dive, I was lucky enough to get Mica as my instructor and he was great. However, Chad was not a helpful instructor and ALL the members of my group who had the displeasure of learning from him had a negative experience. These main issues remained constant in all their experiences with Chad: he was not helpful, he was dismissive of your concerns, and he expected you to know what to do already. I witnessed his teaching when I was on the boat and I could see the difference in my experience with Mica versus what Chad offered.
He needs more empathy and consideration for others, especially new divers. It's funny because I mentioned that I wanted to dive with Mica because he is chill but he overheard, got jealous, and said, "What did you say about Mica? I am the best diver". It is his attitude and teaching style that make him a great instructor not simply his skills. Chad needs a reality check to fix his attitude.
Hello, Hung Hoang. The review explicitly targets instructor Chad on a personal level. Micah and Chad are combat veterans and passionate instructors, with over 15k safe dive experiences. While many customers understand their dry sense of humor and straightforward military styles, some may interpret it differently. The DSD quiz is a PADI requirement to help the instructors evaluate how much knowledge the diver has absorbed. Instructor Chad did precisely what he is trained to do. The divers were distracted by their phones and ignored Micah's dive briefings. When tested, it was clear that they didn't remember. The instructor had to redo the briefing. All 8 divers completed the skills, but only four went for the second dives. One diver hesitated on the ladder, which is unsafe for lingering. Instructor Chad had to say, "If you don't come now, you may need to stay on the boat." Based on your summary, the Ring footage, and crew feedback, the one-star review doesn't reflect the actual event."
My first parasailing experience! I forgot that I get seasick and decided to give it a try... and off I went into the sky! It was stable up there, so it wasn't scary at all, and the view was breathtaking. I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who get seasick. It was a wonderful experience.
初めてのパラセイリング!
自分が船酔いする事を忘れてトライしてしまい…
そのまま空へ!上空は安定していたので怖くはなく絶景でした。船酔いする方は酔い止め薬をおすすめ致します。良い体験をさせて頂きました。
I was worried because the online reservation couldn't be completed due to an app malfunction, but the staff on-site were very kind and helpful. The staff on the boat were also Japanese, and although we were the only ones, they were considerate and we had a great time.
オンライン予約が、アプリの不具合で完結しない状態で心配していましたが、現地にいたスタッフの方が親切に対応して頂きました。
船上のスタッフの方も日本人が、私たちだけでしたが、きをつかって頂き楽しい時間を過ごせました。
The location is easy to find, right in the center of Honolulu. The buffet-style meal was decent; personally, I enjoyed the teriyaki chicken and what seemed like a sweet potato dish, as well as the delicious coconut jelly for dessert. During the meal, there are performances and dances that add to the atmosphere.
The show starts with a gentle hula dance, but then an Elvis impersonator comes out, and the dancers elevate the energy, leading to an exciting climax. The segments featuring Michael Jackson and the fire dance are particularly impressive, providing a thrilling experience. I believe you'll feel very satisfied after watching it.
場所もホノルル中心地でわかりやすいところにあります。
バイキング形式の食事はお味はまあまあ、個人的には照り焼きチキンとタロイモ?の大学いものようなもの、デザートのココナッツゼリーが美味しかったです。食事の時も演奏や踊りで盛り上げてくれます。
ショーは初めは緩やかなフラダンス形式ですが、途中からエルビス(のそっくりさん)が出てきて、周りをダンサーが盛り立て、佳境に入っていきます。
マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンスの辺りがすごく見応えがあり、ハラハラドキドキの連続で
見終わったあとはとても満足できると思います。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the entertainment, especially the Michael Jackson and fire knife performances. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。特にマイケルジャクソンとファイアーナイフなどのエンターテインメントも楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Parasailing was amazing! My group had an awesome time. The service was great, very knowledgeable and very welcoming. Highly recommended!
I initially thought it would be an ordinary show since it started with hula dancing, but I enjoyed the diverse content, including impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, fire attractions, and aerial descents reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil. The theater also had a retro feel, creating a nice atmosphere.
After the show, the dancers from the Elvis and fire attraction were waiting near the exit, and I was pleased with the hospitality as they were willing to take commemorative photos. In the U.S., where prices are high, I appreciate it when shows like this offer discounted tickets.
フラダンスから始まったので、最初は凡庸なショーかなと思っていましたが、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーや、ファイヤーアトラクションやシルクドソレイユを思わせる空中からの人の降下など、多彩な内容で楽しめました。劇場もレトロ感があり、良い雰囲気でした。
ショーが終わった後、エルビスとファイヤーアトラクションのダンサーが出口付近に待機しており、記念写真の撮影に応じてくれるなど、おもてなし感にも満足しました。米国は物価が高く、今回のショーのように、値引き販売してくれると、うれしいです。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the performances of Elvis, Michael, and the Hawaiian show. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I participated with my husband, who has a fear of heights. It wasn't scary at all, and we had a great time! We arrived right on time for the meeting, but as soon as we got there, we hurried to sign in and boarded the boat. It seems we took the previous ferry. We were the only Japanese people, making a total of 10 participants. We were able to place our luggage at our feet. I brought a bath towel, but in the end, I didn't use it. We got off the bus at the Hilton and walked to the meeting point, but we got a bit lost on the way, so I think it's better to allow some extra time.
高所恐怖症の主人と参加。全く怖くなく楽しめました!集合時間ピッタリに着きましたが、着いた早々急いでサインして、船に乗りました。恐らくひとつ前の便に乗ったようです。日本人は私たちだけで合計10人でした。荷物も足元に置けました。バスタオルを持っていきましたが、結果使わなかったです。ヒルトンでバスを降りて集合場所まで行きましたが、辿り着くまでの道が少し迷いましたので、ゆとりをもって行った方がよいと思います。
We participated with a family of eight right at sunset! It was amazing to enjoy the beautiful scenery while sipping on our favorite drinks like Mai Tais and pineapple juice! Families with small children were having fun going in and out of the deck and the room. We were able to leave our bags in the room and enjoy ourselves freely on the deck with drinks in hand. The restrooms were separated by gender, which was reassuring.
Next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to join again at sunset!
ちょうどサンセットの時間帯に家族8人で参加しました! マイタイ、パイナップルジュース…それぞれが好きなドリンクを飲みながら本当に素敵な景色で最高でした!小さなお子さんを連れて参加の方はデッキに出たり部屋に入ったりして楽しまれてました。荷物も部屋に置くことができてドリンクを片手にデッキの好きな所で自由にそれぞれが楽しんでいました。トイレも男女別々にあって安心できました。
次ハワイに行った時もまたサンセットの時間に参加したいです!
We participated as a couple. Since the explanations were in English, I didn't understand everything, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. It was a fun time talking with the Japanese people who were also on board. I was a bit worried about needing the restroom after drinking too many Mai Tais, but there was a restroom on the boat, so I felt relieved. I was a little surprised to find a restroom in such a place, but several people, both men and women, used it.
The night view of Waikiki from the sea was amazing, and the Hilton fireworks were a different experience compared to viewing them from land, making it feel luxurious. At one point, we raised the sails and went sailing, which was quite fast and refreshing.
夫婦二人で参加しました。
英語での説明なのでよくわからなかったんですが、雰囲気で盛り上がることができました。
同乗していた日本人の方ともお話できて楽しい時間でした。
マイタイを飲み過ぎるとトイレが心配されてますが、船にはトイレがあるので安心です。こんなところにトイレが、ちょっとビックリでしたが、男性、女性とも何人かの方が利用してました。
洋上から眺めるワイキキの夜景は素晴らしく、ヒルトンの花火は陸から見るのとは一味違い、贅沢な気分でした。
途中、帆を上げてセーリング、結構な速さで爽快でした。
私たちは、あなたが私たちとの体験を楽しんでいただけたと聞いてとても嬉しいです。またすぐにお越しいただけることを楽しみにしています!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and we would love to have you back soon!
There are various sunset cruises, but I chose this one because it also offers water activities. There were hardly any Japanese people, but it was more fun than I imagined! Two cute dogs greeted us. I'm not great with animals, but they were very calm, so it was totally fine. We jumped into the sea from the boat using a slide and floated on a float! We were lucky to see a big double rainbow! Drinks are available for a fee starting at $3. I enjoyed a cocktail. It says no outside food or drink, but there were people with their own bottles. There's a shop in the harbor waiting area after check-in, so some people bought shave ice or soft serve and ate while boarding. There are plenty of floats to attach around your waist, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, I think you'll enjoy it. Please make sure to wear a swimsuit!
サンセットクルーズは色々ありますが、海遊びもできるとの事で選びました。
日本人はほとんどいなかったけど、想像以上に楽しかった!
可愛いワンチャンが2匹お出迎え。わたくし動物は苦手ですが、とても大人しいので全然大丈夫でした。
ボートから海にスライダーで飛び込んだり、フロートで浮いたり!大きなダブルレインボーも見えてラッキー!
ドリンクは有料で3ドルから。私はカクテルを楽しみました。持ち込み不可とありますがマイボトル持ってる人もいましたよ。受付後のハーバーの待合でショップがあるのでシェイブアイスやソフトクリームを買って、食べながら乗り込む人も。
腰に付けるフロートがたくさんあるので、(ライフジャケットは限りあるかな?)泳ぎが苦手でも楽しめると思います。ぜひ水着着用で参加してください!
ちょっと飛んでる時間ぎ短すぎです。準備が整っていないのに流れ作業のように飛べと急がせてくるし、満足度は低い。そのくせ写真を買わせようとしてくるのが不快でした。
It was my first hike, and I was a bit anxious, but the well-maintained path made it very easy to walk! Also, the guide taught us about various plants, which was really enjoyable!
The coffee from the coffee farm was plentiful and very delicious!
初めてのハイキングで、少し不安でしたが整備された道だったのですごく歩きやすかったです!
また、ガイドさんが色々な植物のことを教えてくださり、とても楽しかったです!
コーヒー農園のコーヒーもたっぷり入っててとっても美味しかったです!
Thank you for your feedback! I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed the Waimea exploration and the guidance from our guide, especially since you were feeling anxious about your first hike. It's great to know that you liked the coffee from the coffee farm as well! When you come to Hawaii next time, please consider joining us for our other tours. We look forward to seeing you again.
ご感想ありがとうございます!初めてのハイキングで不安を感じていたとのことですが、ワイメア散策やガイドの案内をお楽しみいただけたようで、非常に嬉しいです。
コーヒー農園のコーヒーも気に入っていただけて何よりです!次回ハワイにお越しの際は、ぜひ弊社の他のツアーにもご参加くださいませ。お待ちしております。
In mid-August, I experienced this with my 8-year-old daughter. Since my daughter is small, we didn't meet the weight requirement with other companies, but we were able to participate in this tour as we met the minimum here. I had imagined being secured in something like a simple chair, but I was surprised that we were only supported by a thick belt. When you jump, there's no sense of speed, and occasionally the wind blows and sways, but it gives you a strange feeling of floating in the sky. My daughter was a little scared (not to the point of crying), but I think it was a good experience for her to muster up the courage to jump! We were the first of five groups to jump, and while the others were jumping, my daughter got motion sickness. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring anti-nausea medication and a bag for emergencies.
8月中旬、8歳娘と一緒に母娘で体験しました。
娘が小柄なので、他社さんでは合計体重が基準を下回っていましたが、こちらのツアーでは下限に達していたので参加できました。
簡易なイスのようなものに固定されるのを想像していましたが、実際には太いベルトのようなもので支えるだけで驚きました。飛び上がってしまうと、スピード感はなく、ときどき風が吹いて揺れますが、空に浮かんでいるような不思議な感覚です。
娘は少し怖がっていましたが(泣くほどではなく)、勇気を出して飛んだことは良い経験になったかなと思います!
5組のうち私たちが1番目に飛び、他の方が飛んでいる間に娘は船酔いしてしまいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止め&エチケット袋を持っておくと良いと思います。
Thanks to the unlimited ride ticket, I was able to visit various places. The ride to East Oahu took about three hours, but the driver's entertaining stories and the short stops at many photo spots made the time fly by. I was also able to efficiently visit Sunset Beach and Diamond Head, and I am very satisfied with the experience.
乗り放題チケットのおかけでいろいろな場所に行くことができました。東オアフへは約3時間の乗車でしたが、ドライバーの方の楽しい話やたくさんの写真スポットでの短時間停車もあり、あっという間に時間がすぎました。また、効率よくサンセットビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドにも行くことができ、とても満足しています。
I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time seeing fireworks, and I booked the Fireworks Cruise. It was wonderful to enjoy the fireworks while sipping drinks, and I didn't experience any seasickness, plus the cruise went all the way to Diamond Head, making for a very enjoyable time. The only downside was that the meeting point was hard to find.
Since I was staying at the Sheraton, I thought it would be easy to get to the designated spot, but I couldn't figure it out even while looking out at the coast. When the boat finally arrived, I assumed it was ours, but when I asked the crew, they told me our boat was docked on the other side of the Sheraton. I realized I had gone to the wrong meeting point just in time to barely make it for departure, and I had to run.
Regarding the meeting point, the explanation of "go past the Sheraton pool and head to the beach" is a bit misleading for those staying at the Sheraton, as it's easier to exit towards the Royal Hawaiian side. I think it would be more helpful to specify the Hale Koa side instead.
ハワイは何度か来ていますが、花火は初めてで、ファイアークルーズを予約しました。お酒を飲みながらゆっくり花火がみられて、心配していた船酔いもなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルーズがあって、とても楽しい時間でした。唯一のマイナスポイントは集合場所がわかりにくかったこと。
シェラトンに泊まっていましたので指定の場所まですぐのはずが、海岸を見渡してもわからず。
やっと船が来たので、てっきりそれだと思っていましたが、船員さんに聞くと私たちが乗る船はシェラトンの向こう側に泊まると。集合場所を間違えている事がわかったのが出航に間に合うかギリギリの時間で、慌てて走りました。集合場所について「シェラトンのプールの横を通って海岸に出る」という説明ではシェラトンに泊まっているとロイヤルハワイアン側に出るのが楽なので、ハレクラニ側と記載された方が親切だと思います。
We set sail at 5:30 PM while it was still bright, enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea, which is something you don't often get to see, along with free drinks. We also enjoyed the changing sunset, and the staff took photos for us. By the time we returned to Waikiki, it was completely nighttime, and we were able to enjoy the various views of the Waikiki skyline from the sea.
まだ明るいじかんの17:30に出港で、普段はなかなか見ることの少ない海からのワイキキの景色を楽しみながらフリードリンクをいただきました。
変わりゆくサンセットも堪能しスタッフの方が写真撮影もしてくださいました。
ワイキキに戻る時間はすっかり夜景時間となり、イロイロな海からのワイキキの街並みも楽しめました。
Great staff, drinks, music, and view of the fireworks.
Even with standard seating our seats were close to the stage and our view was very good. Venue doesn’t offer the tropical and natural setting and backdrop (high rise in background of all our photos), but it was close to our hotel and didn’t consume several hours of our day/night going/returning on a bus.
Entertainment was very good and the food was good. All luaus are expensive, so no real bargains.
Overall, we are glad we went and had the experience.
I'm not good with roller coasters, so I was worried about the shaking, but there was no need to worry. The weather was nice, the scenery was beautiful, and I'm glad I participated!
ジェットコースター系が苦手なので、揺れたりしないか心配でしたが、心配無用でした。天気も良く、景色が綺麗で、参加してよかったです!
