伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー　＜ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ＞

"Golden Circle" premium seats 「ゴールデンサークル」プレミアムシート

Reviewed by: kenji y

I reserved a premium seat, but it felt like there wasn't much difference from the regular seats. In some areas, I felt that the regular seats might have had a better view. (Perhaps this was because our seats were in a corner, viewing from the side of the stage.)

As for the food, it was neither good nor bad.

Since it was nighttime, measures against the cold were necessary. There were no warm dishes or drinks, so it was quite cold, and I couldn't stand it and left midway. (The performers also seemed to be cold.)

I felt that there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the show itself. There was quite a bit of time from entry to the food being served (about an hour?), and it also felt like we waited a long time from the food to the start of the show. However, the staff and performers were very friendly, which was a positive aspect.

プレミアムシートにて予約しましたが、
通常の席でも大差は無い様な感じでした。場所によっては
通常席の方が見やすい所もあった様に感じました。
（自分達の席は、隅っこで舞台袖からの鑑賞だったのでその様に
感じたのかも知れません。）

食事については、可もなく不可もなく、と言った所です。

夜ですので、寒さ対策は必要です。
温かい料理や飲み物もなかったのでかなり寒く、我慢できず
途中退場してしまいました;;
（演者のみなさんも寒そうにしていました。）

ショー自体も、特筆すべき点はなかった様に思えました。
入場から料理までの時間が結構あり（小一時間程？）、また、
料理からショーが始まるまでも結構待たされた様に感じました。
しかし、スタッフや演者の方たちも非常に気さくでその点は
良かったかな、と思いました。

Island Breeze Luau at King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel with Show, Dinner & Drinks Included

Fun entertainment & nice location

Reviewed by: Lisa P.

My husband & I bought four tickets to see the Island Breeze Luau at the King Kamehameha Hotel on the Big Island for ourselves & our friends from Germany. The entertainment was a delight & there was a tremendous variety of food & also mai tais available included in the price. Though I'm not a big drinker, the punch bowls of mai tais were taken away pretty quickly after dinner was served. I would rather have alcohol with my meal than before, but if you're a cocktail before kind of person, you'll be fine. The locale was very serene in the evening with the glimmer of the island lights from the mountain side reflecting from the ocean. Overall, a very nice & worthwhile evening.

I was able to participate thanks to the last-minute reservation. 前日予約でしたが参加できて助かりました。

Reviewed by: みやみや

I made the reservation after arriving at the location, but I was able to participate without any issues. Our family doesn't use a car and we have two small children, so it's difficult for us to go far from Waikiki, but it was great to be able to go to the PCC on the tour. The night show was indeed very powerful and entertaining! Overall, there was absolutely no cheapness as I had expected, and even adults could really get into it. I was surprised to see that students were the guides! I hope they do well.

現地へ行ってからの予約でしたが、問題なく参加できました。
我が家は車を使わず小さな子供が2人いるのでなかなかワイキキから遠くへ行けないのですがツアーでPCCへいけてとてもよかったです。やはり夜ショーはとても迫力があって面白かった！
全体的に、予想していたような安っぽさは全くなく、大人でも入り込めました。学生さんがガイドさんをされているということでびっくり！頑張って欲しいです。

Full of impact!!! 迫力満点！！！

Reviewed by: fuu

A trip with my daughter. It was our first time on a local tour, so I was a bit anxious with just the reservation ticket and email confirmation, but the meeting place was easy to find, and there was a guide who spoke fluent Japanese, which made me feel at ease. During the bus ride, they also provided sightseeing information. The downside was that we had to find our designated bus back on our own.

Once we arrived at the center, it was immediately time for a meal! The standard course took about 15 minutes to enter the buffet area. The buffet was neither particularly good nor bad. I hurriedly stuffed my stomach.

There were many souvenir shops between the buffet area and the dance venue, and I wanted to take my time to look around, but unfortunately, there was no time. I moved on with regret...

When we reached our designated seats, the dance show started. The dances were related to the joys and sorrows of life, and there was a story, which reminded me of "The Lion King." The dance was captivating, and the climax with the fire dance was truly impressive. Bravo!! Thank you very much.

Looking back, I think I should have chosen a course that allowed for more time to explore the center. I recommend selecting a course based on the time you can spend.

　娘とふたり旅。現地ツアーは初めてだったので　予約票とメールの受信のみで不安でしたが
集合場所もわかりやすく、日本語ペラペラのガイドさんもいて安心しました。バスの中では観光案内もしてくださいました。帰りが指定のバスを自分で探さなければいけないのがマイナスですかな？
　センターに到着すると即　食事！スタンダードコースはブッフェ会場に入るまで15分かかりました。ブッフェ内容は可もなく不可もなく。急いでおなかの中にかきこみました。
ブッフェ会場から舞踊場までたくさんお土産店があり、ゆっくり見たかったのですが残念！時間がありません。後ろ髪をひかれながら移動・・・（泣）
　指定席に着くと　さあダンスショーのスタートです。人生悲喜こもごもにちなんだダンス、ストーリーもあり、ふと「ライオンキング」が頭に浮かびました。　目が離せないすばらしいダンスで　なかでも　クライマックスのファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。ブラボー！！ありがとうございました。
　振り返りますと、もう少し時間をとってセンター内も見て回れるコースを選べばよかったかなと思います。　費やせる時間によってコースを選ぶことをお勧めします。

The shows are very good. The night show could be better explained. May be a printed program to explain each dance, the meaning and connection to the story line. The dinner show is good too . The MC is wonderful but it will be good to have some quiet moment for table conversation and not so rushed to eat. But this is just our view for your consideration.

Big Kahuna Luau at Tantalus Mountain Top with Honolulu City View

Enjoyable evening

Reviewed by: Dirk

Over the years, I have attended most of the luaus offered to visitors to Oahu. This was one of the better ones that I have seen. The food was your typical luau offering but the show was exceptional! I would say that if you are a "senior", you may find that the grounds are very uneven, hilly and can be very slippery if it's wet like it was the evening that I attended. This can make it difficult to walk around to the various locations that you want to see. They recommend that you bring a light jacket and I strongly recommend that you do so. It gets chilly on the mountain and you'll need it. All in all, a great evening with a beautiful view of the city below and an excellent show.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Best Guided Tour EVER! Two Thumbs up WAY UP...

Reviewed by: Brando Quinn

I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".

Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!

I guess it's to be expected that the food isn't great at a standard place? 食事がイマイチなのはスタンダードでは仕方がないのかな？

Reviewed by: えっこまま

It was a standard departure in the evening, but the rainbow we saw along the way was lovely. Be prepared for a tour that takes time for the round trip due to traffic and distance. It might be cold, possibly because of the rain or the night, so you’ll need to dress warmly (I mentioned it was cold, but it didn’t change much).

Don’t have high expectations for the meals. The dining area is nice, so let’s just accept that.

The show is quite different from 20 years ago; it has a narrative format with shadow animations that I think are quite impressive. However, my 80-year-old mother said she preferred the show from 20 years ago. There might be some nostalgia involved, and we were seated in the second-to-last row, which made it hard to see, so that could have contributed to her feelings.

夕方出発のスタンダードですが、行く途中で見れた虹が良かったです。渋滞もあり距離も有るため往復の時間がかかることは覚悟しておくツアーです。雨の中とか夜のせいかクーラーも効き過ぎて防寒対策も必要です（寒いとは伝えたのですが余り変わりませんでした）
食事には期待してはいけません。食べる場所はきれいなのでわりきりましょう。
ショーは20年前とは大分違い、物語り形式で影絵のアニメーション等も要所に入り見応えあると思います。但し、80歳の母は20年前の方が良かったと言っております。思い出補正もあるし、今回は一番後ろから二列目の見づらい場所でしたし、辛い点になったかもしれません。

I felt the culture of Hawaii. ハワイの文化を感じました。

Reviewed by: ２６年ぶりのヒロちゃんより

The dance show was very interesting. It gave a sense of what Polynesian culture and customs are like, not just in Hawaii. The scenes where the lights were lit on both sides of the torches and where someone extinguished a flaming mat with their butt were impressive. The food was also substantial and satisfying, but it was disappointing that we couldn't drink alcohol during dinner since Mormons do not consume alcohol. I would like to request clear signage on the front of the buses at the meeting point, as various mini-tour buses come there.

ダンスショウは大変面白いものでした。ハワイに限らず、ポリネシアの文化・習俗といったものがどんなものかを感じさせてくれるものでした。
松明の両サイドに灯がともり開店した場面や、火が付いた井草のようなものをお尻でけすところなど、圧巻でした。
料理もボリュームがあり満足でしたが、モルモン教はお酒を飲まないので、ディナーではお酒を飲めないのは残念でした。
待ち合わせ場所は色々なミニツアーのバスが来るので、バスの表側にはっきりとわかる表示をお願いしたいです。

Commercial

Reviewed by: Simon

It was beautiful, fun, exhaustive, but very commercial. I truly wanted to know more about the history of the first Hawaiian, but I was let down on that expectation. The dancers, the show at the end, the luau, the many islands with their respective activities were very interresting and beautiful, though. It's worth it, but dont expect it to replace the viewing of a good documentary. Also, the fact that this olace is ran by Mormons is extremely apparent through many not so subtle references in history plaques, or the simple fact that there was no alcool at the Luau. Still a solid activity, and it was worth it. We had the full day package (110, I think).

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Very Good Luau

Reviewed by: Debz

It was a little daunting at first as this was a very rainy day in the area. Was thrilled to know that almost all of the time we would be covered. The place is in need of renovation, the chairs and other structures are in need of an overhaul, it's definitely 1970's 1980's looking. I have attended two luau's (not this one) in the past but this was the best one. It seems like a very good family and they are very attentive to taking care of everyone at the luau. The gardens are beautiful. I do think that telling everyone to be there at 4:30 and then sit around until 5:45 after a short tram tour thru the gardens is not a good use of time. The food was abundant and most was good. The drinks were not good at all. The Mai Tai was like iced tea and the other drink seemed like a glass of maraschino cherry juice. The show was excellent, very creative and spoke about the various cultural influences that make up Hawaii. It was a little cheesy but that is to be expected as it is a family event. There was definitely some excellent musical talent and singing during the luau and the dinner. I would recommend this luau to anyone. I love being at the beach at a luau but the weather is a factor and this was covered so it worked out great. The area where this luau is held is gorgeous

After being asked by the female guide about my hometown and how many times I've been to Hawaii, we boarded the bus and departed a bit late. The guide was somewhat stern. Her explanations were fast-paced and lacked consideration. The food wasn't delicious (in my opinion), but my husband said it was just okay. The show was good; I was glad I had high expectations for that. On the way back, unlike the outbound bus, we shared the bus with people from other tours. The air conditioning was very strong, so please be sure to bring a jacket.

A trip to Hawaii to show appreciation to my elderly parents!
My parents participated in this option last time, and when I asked them where they wanted to go this time, the only place they wanted to visit again was the Polynesian Cultural Center.
I had been to Hawaii several times, but I had never been there, so it was my first time accompanying them.
Before going, I thought it was a bit childish, but the Japanese guides were very kind, and we enjoyed the activities at each station. Hearing about the center's background made me apologize in my heart for underestimating it until now.
The final show was truly impressive! I was deeply moved by the power and passion of the performance.
The only regret I have is that the meal took too long, and we couldn't participate in the backstage tour.
Next time, I want to take my children and go again.
