Captain and her team was awesome! Loved the experience, it’s mainly luck if you wanna see a lot of marine life but the experience itself was so cool! We went with a total of 14 people in my group

Be prepared to make new friends and enjoy the Ohana of this wonderful group of people. Maka, Lucky, Hans, & so many others made this day a core memory for our family! The scenery is amazing.

Best excursion

Reviewed by: Bryan Forrest

My wife and I had a great time with Captain and crew. Enjoyed the bay, sandbar, watching sea turtles, and meeting new friends from around the country.

Great burgers and cold drinks were perfect to make this excursion a must book experience on your island vacation.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Live Entertainment - Great Value!

It was just okay.

Reviewed by: Laura

It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.

サンドバー 天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き<午前/日本語クルー>

いい思い出になりました

Reviewed by: na◎◎

5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide

A stunning moment - a must have lifetime experience

Reviewed by: Faye

The guide is friendly and informative. He can speak fluent English and Japanese. He provided the needed equipment for the trip and took nice photos for us. We’ve had unique and amazing lifetime experience by standing on the top of the world (count elevation from the seabed) and watching the stunning sunset and moonrise. Unfortunately, the full moon was so bright and we couldn’t clearly see the Milky Way. Overall a must have one and I will recommend do it with a guide as first time as some unexpected situations could happen if you are not fully prepared.

Warning: some people might feel faint and uncomfortable or fall asleep due to elevation

最高でした!!

Reviewed by: frederica

最高レビューばかりで若干サクラを疑ってましたが本当に最高でした。
当日は快晴で、海が一層綺麗でした。
日本人と英語スピーカーと乗船は半々くらいでした。
日本人のガイドさんもいたため、英語がわからない方でも安心です。
サンドバーではビーチバレーコートを設置してくれ、国籍とわずで楽しめました。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーは焼きたてのパテがとてもジューシーでした。
その後海亀ウォッチは沢山の海亀が見れ、
シュノーケリングでは偶然マンタと泳ぐこともできました。(珊瑚礁での海亀やマンタとの遭遇かなりレアだそうです)
全てを通して大満足です。
ただし日焼け止めは膝裏までしっかり塗ってください。痛い目を見ます。

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Ranch Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Bitty

From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)

I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.

This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

colorful, lively, exciting show

Reviewed by: Ellen

We saw the show only and loved it! The dancing was exciting and engaging. the costumes were beautiful. The fire show at the end was worth waiting for! We sat in the front row. All the seats have a great view and are very comfortable in an outdoor theatre shielded by a roof. If you get to the parking lot before sunset, you will see thousands of parrots searching for the ideal tree to sleep in and making lots of noise with their murmurations. If there is road work on the main highway, try to park closer to the Marina where the barge leaves or you might get stuck waiting 20 minutes with 200 other cars until the road crew reopens the road.

Discover Lanai Day Trip from Maui, Hulopoe Bay Snorkeling & Sweetheart Rock

An absolute blast

Reviewed by: Scott & Amanda

The crew on the Trilogy IV were unbelievably accommodating and welcome. The service on the ship and on the beach was unparalleled. Every part of the trip was an absolute blast from the snorkeling, the beach, and a last minute swim party to top off the ride. The Captain truely knows how to host a party; just when you thought the service couldn’t get any better, he would come by and clean your sunglasses.

If you’re debating between a trip to Molokini Crater or this trip to Lana’i, trust me; these guys put every other excursion to shame.

It was a great day boat trip to Lanai, and we saw dolphins. We enjoyed the snorkeling and swimming. The crew was professional and fun, and we were taken care of. In addition, the lunch was delicious, and they made sure had enough to eat. This is a trip that we will do again, and we highly recommend it for all.

絶景が楽しめます!そしてご飯もとても美味しかった!

ホテルから集合場所がとても遠かったので、往復で送迎つけるべきだったかなと思ったのですが、タクシーでなんとかなりました。
往路は道が混んでいたので、待ち合わせ時間に間に合うかどうかヒヤヒヤしたのと交通費が高くついたので、心配な方は送迎をつけるべき。
復路は混んでいなかったので安く済みました(^^)

机と机の間隔が狭く、窮屈に感じたのは残念だったのですが、

とても良い想い出作りになりました!

Reviewed by: YOSHI

親の長寿(3名)のお祝いに利用させていただきました。
出航してから戻るまで、食事・プログラムとも充実しており、全く飽きずに楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

*一人車椅子の利用だったのですが、少し歩けたので、通常のピックアップバスを利用させていただきました。乗船時は優先的にエレベーターを利用して着席させていただきました。
*テンダーロインステーキが通常メニューのようです。5名での参加であったので、魚(頂いたのはツナバターソテー)もメニューに入れたのですが、ステーキが正解かと思います。魚も美味しかったのですが、テンダーロインがフィレステーキのようで、とても美味しかったです(全体的に、美味しくないのはありませんでした)。
*金曜日の夜に乗船したのですが、ヒルトンから上がる花火はなかなかのものでした。ちなみに、座席を海側にしたくなりますが、あがるのは片側からのみです。そちらでなければ、見えにくい(花火の高さがあるいので、全体は見えない)となりますので、追加で座席にお金を払わず、花火のタイミング、サンセットのタイミングで離席し、景色を楽しんでから戻るのが良いかもしれません。
*ショーにおいて、ジャズのパートも良かったのですが、ポリネシアンダンスがとても良かったです。船が着いても、まだ終わってませんでした。最後は全員参加型の盛り上がりで楽しかったです。ちなみに座席は、舞台サイドの海側に座ると見えにくくなります。反対側だと見やすいかもしれませんが、外れる可能性もありますので、追加料金を払わず、真ん中で良いかもしれませんね。

ハワイでは円安もあり、全てが高額になりがちですが、食事及びプログラム内容から、悪くない選択肢かと思います。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise with Crab Legs, Steak & Chicken Dinner and Show

Very touristy and packed. Must do ONE time experience

Reviewed by: Guam Companions

Go on a Friday to catch the Friday night fireworks sponsored by Hilton Hawaiian Village. Usually after dinner is done, and while the performers entertain, guests usually hangout by the side rail outside the dining area, or at the top deck to get good seating/viewing spots until the fireworks. Otherwise, food was mediocre good (we had the crab, steak, and mashed potatoes deal) and complimentary Mai Tai was too sweet with little to no alcohol. Dessert was brought out while guests were in the deck plates. It was between the boat cruise or a luau....we should've tried the luau.

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Showcase of cultural diversity with positive role models on an amazing property

Reviewed by: mromines

Smith's Garden facilities were very nice and the atmosphere was wonderful. The show was different than Luau's I have seen before.

This show was a showcase of dance routines representing the different migrant groups that arrived in Hawaii. It was a show that my tween most prefered and really enjoyed. Smith's keeps in line with providing an authentic array of cast members, which makes Hawaiian preformances stand ahead from those on the mainland. You will see dancers of all ages and women of all sizes represented. It is not only important for young ones to see a variety of people represented but watching people who don't look like a barbie blowing everyone out of the water is in itself a wonderful experience.

Personally, I like Kalamaku's cohesive Tahitian migration/myth story better. Kalamaku also has a larger male presence which performs at a higher level, which I felt more appealing. That being said, I think Smith's was the right choice for bringing my kid and I appreciate that each show is original. I definitely recommend Smith's luau.
