I took my 5-year-old daughter to this luau. She loved it! She referred to the fire dancer as David from Lilo and Stitch. The food was amazing, though it took a while to get to since it's buffet style and lots of people to feed. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kona.

Paid for the preferred Alii VIP seating so we were front and center and got our drinks served to us. We have been to two other Luaus, and we have to say this one had the best food and drinks. But the Luau at the Hilton on Maui had the best show. But of the two Luaus we attended on the Big Island this one was the better of the two.

I experienced a luau. The location was by the sea, with beautiful scenery, a great show, and delicious food. My husband also liked it and said it was good. It became a wonderful memory of the Big Island. The dancers were very nice and we were able to take pictures with them at the end, getting to see them up close. They were very pleasant and accommodating. It was great.
ルアウを体験しました。場所も海沿いで、綺麗な景色とショー、食事も美味しく良かったです。主人も気に入り、良かったと。ハワイ島の良い思い出になりました。ダンサーの方々も最後に一緒に写真を、撮る事が出来、間近で見る事が出来ました。すごく感じ良く対応してくださりました。良かったです。

It was my first time snorkeling, and also my first time entering deep water, but thanks to the staff who explained everything kindly and thoroughly, I was able to enjoy swimming with the dolphins!
It seems that the spots where you can encounter dolphins change depending on the day. I think it took about 30 minutes before we first met a dolphin, but after that, we were able to swim with them 4 to 5 times. The staff guided each participant to get as close to the dolphins as possible, and I felt like I could reach out and touch them as they swam so close!
That alone was satisfying, but by chance, we also encountered a seal, of which there are only seven on the Big Island! On our way back, we were able to see a manta ray up close as well!
The staff kept saying, "Since you've come all the way to the Big Island, I want you to make lots of memories," and they were always searching for more experiences for us.
Thanks to the thoughtfulness of the staff, I made the best memories, and I am very grateful! It seems that starting around September or October this year, there may be a possibility that swimming with dolphins will no longer be available, so please be sure to participate!
初めてのシュノーケリングで、しかも深い海に入ることも初めてでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが、優しく丁寧に説明してくださったので、楽しんでイルカと泳ぐことができました!
日によってイルカと出会えるスポットは違うようで、最初にイルカと出会えるまでは30分くらいかかったと思いますが、それからは4〜5回出会っては泳ぎを繰り返すことができました。イルカのなるべく近くに行けるようにと参加者それぞれを引っ張って誘導して下さったので、手を伸ばせば届くのではないかと思うくらい近くで泳ぐことができました!
それだけでも満足でしたが、偶然、ハワイ島に7頭しかいないアザラシにも遭遇!
また、帰る途中にはマンタも間近で見ることができました‼︎
「せっかくハワイ島に来たから、沢山思い出を作って欲しい」と言って、ずっと探して下さっていました。
スタッフ皆さんのお心遣いにより、最高の思い出ができ、とても感謝しています!
今年の9月?10月?ごろからは、イルカと一緒に泳げなくなる可能性があるようなので、是非参加してみてください♪

I chose the exclusive VIP seating because I wanted a good spot. Honestly, I would have preferred to sit facing the stage, but it can't be helped due to the seating arrangement. It's a good idea to line up early!
The seating is at a long table, so you'll be sharing with others. I recommend sitting next to someone rather than across from them.
The buffet offers a wide selection, and it's delicious. The table attendant was a nice guy who was very attentive, which made for an even more enjoyable time.
The hula and luau show is quite long, and I think you'll be satisfied with it! I believe it's something you should experience at least once.
いい席で見たくてexclusive vipにしました。正直正面がよかったですが、並び順なので仕方ないですね。早めに並ぶといいですよ!
席は長テーブルなので相席になります。向かい合わせより、隣りがオススメ。
ビュッフェはたくさんの中から選べ、また美味しいです。テーブル担当のおじさんがいい人でよく気にしてくれてさらに楽しいひと時になりました。
フラ&ルアウのshowは、割と長くて満足できると思いますよ!一回は体験してみるべきだと思います♪

The buffet was abundant with all-you-can-drink options, and the meat dishes were particularly delicious (though the seasoning was a bit strong). I spent a leisurely time watching the sunset, and although there were hardly any Japanese people around, it felt like a family atmosphere, as mentioned in someone else's experience. I chatted a bit with the couples and families nearby, but I think it would have been an even better dinner if I had stronger English skills! However, since the time was long, I found myself battling sleepiness in the second half...
豊富なビュッフェに飲み放題、特に肉類は美味しかったです(味付け濃いめでしたが)。
サンセットを見ながら、ゆっくり過ごし、日本人はほとんどいませんでしたが、どなたかの体験談にもあったように周りの席とは家族のような感じでした。
周りの夫妻や家族と少し会話しましたが、自分に英語力があればもっといいディナーになっていたとおもいます!
ただ時間が長いので後半は睡魔との戦いでした...

It was a reservation for the day we arrived on the Big Island. Most of the guests were foreigners, and there were a lot of people in line. The weather wasn't great, and they were handing out simple ponchos while we waited. My wife's poncho seemed to be a bit defective, and she struggled to put it on, but several foreigners in line helped her, and she finally managed to wear it. It was a fun memory. As for the show, it started to rain heavily around the time we were having dinner, and the drinks became watered down, so due to the fatigue from the flight, we ended up leaving before the show started. What a shame! However, it seemed that the foreigners were enjoying themselves despite the rain.
ハワイ島に到着した日の予約でした。お客さんはほとんど外国の人で、大勢の人が並んでいました。天気が良くなくて 並んでいる時に簡易ポンチョが配られていました。家内のポンチョはちょっと不良品だったようで 着るのに苦労していると 周りに並んでいた外国の方が 何人も手伝ってくれてやっと着用できました。楽しい思い出です。 肝心のショーの方は、食事をとってきた頃から雨が激しくなりドリンクも水っぽくなってしまったので 飛行機の疲れもあってショーが始まったころに退席してしまいました。残念!! 外国の方は雨もなんのその 皆さん楽しまれていたようです。

It was an interactive show, so the performance itself was short, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fairly good as well. They made the drink I wanted (highball) when I asked for it. There weren't any noisy customers. I was staying at the Kamehameha, but I was glad I walked over here to experience a closer ocean vibe. Also, I arrived just in time and, although I had to wait a little, I was able to secure a seat relatively close to the stage.
参加型のショーなので、鑑賞するショー自体は短いですが、
雰囲気は楽しめました。ご飯もまぁまぁおいしかったです。
お酒も欲しいもの(ハイボール)を言えば作ってくれました。
お客さんも騒がしい人たちはいませんでした。
カメハメハに滞在していましたが、
より海に近い雰囲気を味わいたかったので、こちらまで歩いてきて良かったです。
また、時間ぎりぎりに行き、少し並んだものの、割と舞台に近い席は確保できました。

I had very little experience swimming before, and it was my first time snorkeling, so I was quite anxious. However, I am grateful to our guide, Daisuke, for easing my nerves. Since we were looking for wild dolphins, there was no guarantee we would see them, but it seemed like he was using his experienced intuition to search for them. Normally, it takes about an hour to find them, but in our case, we encountered them just one minute after departure and were able to swim with them for a long time.
これまで泳ぎをあまりしたことがなく、シュノーケリングも初めてでとても不安でしたが、ガイドの大輔さんが緊張を柔らげてくださって感謝です。野性のイルカなので、必ず会える保証はないとのことですが、経験豊富な勘?でイルカを探していただいているようで、普段1時間ぐらいは船を走らせるところ、私達の時は、出航わずか1分で遭遇し、長い時間一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました。

The cost was $100, and at first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but $100 is about 11,000 yen. Considering that you get to see a live traditional luau and Hawaiian show up close, along with an all-you-can-eat meal and drinks, it’s quite reasonable. There were hardly any Japanese people around, and everyone spoke only English. I was a bit anxious, but it was fun, and by the end, I was shouting in Hawaiian along with the host. After the luau, I took pictures with the dancers on stage. I even got a tattoo stamp on my arm, just like the Hawaiians (it was water-based ink, so it came off quickly afterward). It was so much fun!
費用が100ドルで、最初はちょっと高いかなと思いましたが、100ドルって11,000円ですよね。生の伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショーを間近に見て、おいしい食事とドリンクは食べ放題、飲み放題だったら、充分リーズナブルでしょう。ほとんど日本人が居ない中で、廻りは英語のみ。不安に固まりでしたが、楽しくて、終わりには司会者の声に合わせてハワイ語の叫び声を上げていました。ルアウ後、舞台で踊ったダンサー達と写真を撮りました。腕にはハワイ人と同じ入れ墨をスタンプ(水性インクなので後ですぐに落ちました)してもらいました。楽しかったなー。

I was guided to the front row with the use of a premium seat. However, to get a good seat even within that category, it's necessary to arrive early and line up, as the front row is guaranteed but the specific position is first come, first served.
The content of the show is a very typical Hawaiian show. I've seen many shows of this kind, but I think the quality of the dancers is quite high.
The unlimited cocktails and soft drinks are also a big plus. (Many places only offer the first drink for free.) Moreover, the staff is always attentive, making it easy to get refills, so for those who can drink, this is a significant advantage. (The quality of the table service may vary, though.)
プレミアムシート利用で最前列に案内された。が、そのカテゴリーの中でも良い席にしてもらうには、プレミアムでも早めに行って並んでおくことが必要。(前方は約束されているが、その中での位置は早い者勝ちなので)
ショーの内容はとてもとても一般的なハワイアンショー。この手のショーは何本も観てきたが、ダンサーのクオリティは高い方だと思う。
カクテル、ソフトドリンク飲み放題と言うのもポイントが高い。(無料は一杯目だけなんてのも多いので)
しかも係が常に目を配ってくれるので、お代わりもしやすいので、飲める人はポイントが高い。(テーブルの係の良し悪しもあるかもしれないが)

We attended the luau on March 29, 2017 and had a lovely time. It was a buffet style and you could make more than one trip to the table - and to the open bar until 7:00pm. The Mai tais, were delicious, punch bowl style and self serve. The food was good, not great, but there was a good variety. The entertainment was fun to watch, the dances from the different Polynesian Islands were interesting, especially the fire dancer! You can't go to Hawaii without a luau and this is a good one to check out.

The atmosphere was fantastic!
