The picture that I posted of my sister and my husband with the most wonderful look, enjoying their selves Beyond words. This is my absolute favorite memory from our big island vacation 2025.

On the day of our visit, we had the place all to ourselves. The staff was still very courteous and guided us, allowing us to enjoy the experience from the prime seats right in the center. We had a great time on the day we arrived on the Big Island, and it really put us in the mood for Hawaii. I also got a sense of the history of Lahaina, and I hope to contribute to its recovery.
当日は我々だけで貸切状態でした。担当の方はそれでも丁寧にご案内下さり、ど真ん中の特等席で味わうことができました。ハワイ島到着日に楽しみましたが、頭の中が一気にハワイ島になる気分でした。ラハイナの話もなんとなくわかり、復興に寄与できれば幸いです。
ご案内は英語のみです。
実際に経験してわかったのは、1番良い席は最前列の真ん中です。行かれる方はそこを是非狙ってみてください。

This cruise was outstanding! The crew was polite and attentive. The dinner was excellent! There was live music as well as someone giving us a little history of the island in between songs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. We also were lucky enough to see the spinner dolphins put on a little chauffeur for us. We saw flying fish. Overall, it was an excellent experience!
We are thrilled that you had a great time! Providing an outstanding experience is exactly what our goals are! Thank you for joining us! We hope to see you again someday soon! Best regards!

Pros: pig roast being done onsite, got to witness uncovering and presentation of the pig. (my son hated this portion!). menu and performances were both great! I liked different island nations being represented in music and dance and a little bit of story telling/history to tie it together. performance was good length and sunset was gorgeous! desserts and beverages were also delicious.
Cons: attempted to check in entire luau at one time slot. made for a lot of time waisted waiting in hotel lobby check in line. check in inside and then second check in outside felt redundant. we arrived at 5:22, email confirmation had suggested 5:30 check in, but spent several (20+ minutes) waiting to check in. by the time we arrived in luau area, we missed the 'activities' portion of the luau. we also missed the royal entrance of the luau show. we did however have great seats so first-come-first-seated wasn't an issue.
brief meet and greet with performers after the show felt rushed -- they were spread along exit sidewalk and available for a quick picture but were ushering us along immediately, without any chit chat -- which is a huge difference compared to other luaus.
professional photography of your party was an additional $25 for digital download. fresh lei's were an additional $10 each, which in my opinion were reasonably priced but I've had digital photography and leis included at other similarly-priced luaus.
having dined at this marriott the night before and spoken to several guests in the week it seems this particular marriott has become quite overpriced for the level of service and age of property it's become. it has an outstanding location, but is overpriced for the level of service or hospitality i've experienced at other similarly priced marriotts in the islands. pool and restaurants were crowded and bonvoy perks were lacking/zero. kids meals were reasonable, but got charged $10 each for kids scoop of vanilla icecream.
go earlier than confirmation email suggests if pre-show activities or royal entrance are important.

Kool show super packed parking was crazy I recommend parking off site because 200 people plus a fishing tournament and whatever else is happening in the area leaving at the same time it took 45 min just to get out of the parking lot.
If parking is limited something else is going on in the area leaving will be not fun

I highly recommend this luau. I was very satisfied with the delicious food and entertainment.
The process starts with checking in at the hotel, after which you are guided to outdoor party tables. Before the show begins, there is a drink bar and interactive activities. You can enjoy free games, a dance experience, and watch the digging up of kalua pig, which is cooked in an underground oven called an imu. Everyone was taking lots of videos and photos! Please note that this activity ends fairly early.
The buffet meal is followed by the grand entrance of King Kamehameha from the sea, and the show starts on stage! There are plenty of dances and songs inspired by Tahiti and Samoa, the ancestors of Hawaiians. The final fire dance was breathtaking. The emcee speaks entirely in English, but I think you can enjoy it fully even if you don't catch everything.
To be honest, I hesitated about whether to participate due to the price, but I ended up being very satisfied.
◆ One point to note is to arrive early for check-in. Check-in starts at 5:15 PM, but when we arrived at 4:45 PM, there were already about ten groups in line. Seating is assigned in the order of check-in, and you proceed to the activities from there, so if you check in late, it might be difficult to participate in the activities.
こちらのルアウはとてもお勧めです。
美味しい食事とエンターテイメントを楽しめてとても満足しました。
流れとしてはホテル館内で受付後、野外のパーティテーブルに案内されます。
ショーが始まる前にドリンクバーと参加型のアクティビティがありました。無料のゲーム、ダンス体験やイムという地中の釜で料理したカルアピッグ(豚の丸焼き)を掘り出す様子を見られます。皆さんビデオや写真をたくさん撮っていました!
このアクティビティははやい時間で終わってしまいますので注意が必要です。
ブッフェのお食事、海からのカメハメハ王の登場に続いてステージでショーがスタート!
ハワイアンの祖先であるタヒチやサモア風のダンスや歌が盛りだくさん。最後のファイアーダンスは圧巻でした。
司会はすべて英語ですが、すべてを聞き取れなくても充分に楽しめる内容だと思います。
正直なところ、お値段的に参加するかどうか迷いましたが結果は大満足です。
◆注意点は早めに受付に行くことかと思います。
受付スタートは17:15-ですが、私たちが16:45に行った時にはすでに10組ほどが並んでいました。席は受付順で案内され、その流れでアクティビティに進むので、受付が遅くなるとアクティビティ参加がむずかしくなるかもしれません。
I didn't feel much of a language barrier. Enjoy the unique luau that Hawaii has to offer!
言葉の壁はそれほど感じませんでした。
ハワイならではのルアウを楽しんでください

I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, and until now, my visits were primarily for golfing. However, as I've gotten older (79 years old) and my companions have diminished, this time I went with my wife and two of her friends.
At the women's request, we went whale watching for the first time. I couldn't understand the guide's English, but I could feel the boat's determination to chase after the whales. Unfortunately, we couldn't encounter them up close, but we did catch a glimpse of a black whale breaching in the distance, along with a faint spout of water.
While I wasn't completely satisfied, the anticipation was definitely there. On the way back, the sight of the white waves crashing against the coastline of the Big Island was a breathtaking view that you can't see from the ground. However, the boat's light snack was just a single pasta dish, which was disappointing.
ハワイは20回近くいっていますが、今まではゴルフ目的でしたが、歳を重ね(79歳)同伴者がいなくなり今回は妻と妻の友達2人でした。
女性陣の希望で初めてホエールウォッチングをしました。
ガイドは英語で理解出来ませんでしたが、船は懸命にクジラを追っているな感じは伝わって跳ねるきましたが、近くでの遭遇出来ず、遠くで微かに吹き上がる潮と跳ねる黒いクジラが一瞬見られました。
大満足は出来ませんでしたが、期待感は十分でした。
帰路船からみるハワイ島の海岸に打ち上げてある白い波しぶきは地上では見られない迫力ある光景でした。
船の軽食はパスタが一品だけで期待ハズレでした。
Before boarding, there is a process to input personal information into the computer, which took some time. Therefore, I think it's best to arrive with plenty of time before your boarding time.
乗船前に個人情報等をPCに入力する作業があり、時間がかかりましたので、乗船時間は余裕を持って行かれると良いと思います。
ご参加いただき、初めてのクジラ観察の冒険を共にしていただき、ありがとうございます。また、体験を共有していただき、心より感謝申し上げます。ビッグアイランドの海岸線の素晴らしい景色を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思いますが、クジラの目撃は時には距離があることもあることを理解しています。これらの素晴らしい生き物は自然の生息地で自由に動いていますので、私たちは誇り高いNOAA準拠のツアーオペレーターとして、クジラの安全と健康を確保するために、少なくとも100ヤードの距離を保ちながら、最高の観賞機会を提供しています。
スナックの提供についてのご意見も感謝いたします。お客様の体験を向上させるために、常に努力しているため、今後の参考にさせていただきます。ボディグローブクルーズをお選びいただき、ありがとうございます。またの冒険でお迎えできることを楽しみにしています!
Thank you for joining us on your first whale-watching adventure and for sharing your experience. We truly appreciate your visit and your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the stunning views of the Big Island’s coastline, we understand that whale sightings can sometimes be at a distance, as these magnificent creatures move freely in their natural habitat. As a proud NOAA-compliant tour operator, we respectfully maintain a distance of at least 100 yards from whales to ensure their safety and well-being while providing the best viewing opportunities possible.
We also appreciate your feedback on the snack offerings and will take it into consideration as we continually strive to enhance our guest experience. Mahalo for choosing Body Glove Cruises, and we hope to welcome you aboard again for another adventure!

It was my first time actually getting on a boat to see whales, and it was impressive to see them up close. I was quite lucky because there happened to be two of them. It was amazing that they came up to the surface several times.

We sailed south along the west coast of the Big Island to the Captain Cook landing site. While listening to explanations about the history of the Big Island, we were able to see the magnificent overall view of the island from the sea, which was quite enjoyable. Dinner was a set menu, including cocktails and soft drinks. When requesting a vegetarian meal at the time of reservation, we were served Thai curry. For appetizers, we had a green salad with strawberries, and for dessert, there was a wonderfully sweet chocolate tart cake. Hot coffee (Kona coffee) was also provided. After turning back at the Captain Cook landing site, we headed towards the departing port while witnessing the sunset offshore. Along the way, a family of dolphins came close, which was exciting even though it was for a short time. We also observed small fish, resembling flying fish, actively jumping around. Onboard, there was a live guitar performance, and we had a great time singing along to classic hits that any American would know. Depending on the weather, the boat might sway a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to bring motion sickness medication.
ハワイ島西海岸沿いの沖合をキャプテンクック上陸点まで南下。ハワイ島の歴史に関する説明を聞きながら、西海岸沖の海上から雄大なハワイ島の全体像を見ることができ、これだけでもかなり楽しめます。夕食はセットメニューで、カクテルやソフトドリンクがついています。ベジタリアンミールを希望するときは予約時に選択すると、タイカレーが提供されました。前菜としてイチゴの入ったグリーンサラダ、デザートにはめいっぱい甘いチョコレートタルトケーキがでました。ホットコーヒー(コナコーヒー)も提供してくれます。キャプテンクック上陸点で折り返し、沖合でサンセットを見届けると出発した港に向けて航路を向けますが、途中でイルカの家族が近くまで来てくれて、短い時間でしたが盛り上がりました。アジサシ?のような小さな飛び魚のような魚が盛んに飛びながらおよいでいるのも観察できました。船上ではギターのライブ演奏があり、アメリカ人ならだれでも知っている往年のヒット曲で大いに盛り上がりました。天候によっては多少揺れると思いますので、船に弱い人は酔い止めを持って行った方がよいかもしれません。
There is absolutely no support for Japanese tourists. Everything is in English, so those who are not confident in their English may miss out on what is being discussed, but I think you can still enjoy
日本人観光客に対する対応はまったくありません。すべて英語ですので、英語に不安のある方は話をしている内容が聞き取れずもったいないように思いますが、単純にサンセットクルーズだけでも楽しめるかと思います。

We had a great time on the Dinner Cruise. We were especially impressed when we received a call from Medina from the Body Glove office. She noticed that we stated we both had limited mobility when we registered, so she called to tell us we could park at the pier right across from the boat and arranged to have their crew unlock the gate for us when we arrived. This made it very easy to board. The crewmembers assisted my wife, who uses a walker, during boarding and when getting off the boat. Everyone on the crew was very warm and friendly. Service was excellent. Food was good. Entertainment was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this cruise and thank the folks at Body Glove for their kind assistance to both of us.
Aloha Phil!
