All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I was able to welcome the New Year joyfully. It was a fun memory. Thank you very much. The buffet was delicious, and it was helpful that there was juice for those who couldn't drink champagne.

楽しく新年を迎えることができました。
楽しい思い出です。ありがとうございました。
ブッフェも美味しくて、シャンパンが飲めない人のためにジュースがあって助かりました。

Got to see a lovely sunset (our last in 2019) drinks were flowing and we were always asked if we wanted more, friendly staff and overall very nice experience. I'd recommend especially if anyone has no other opportunity to see a sunset from the sea or the Honolulu skyline at night from afar (looking in from the ocean).

It was truly amazing! Unlimited drinks while sailing with a view of the hotels off Waikiki and Diamond Head. I highly recommend the sunset sail!

本当に最高でした！ワイキキ沖からホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらの飲み放題セイリング。サンセットセイルはおすすめですよー

The location has only a small sign, so I think most people will miss it. Even if you ask at the front desk, they might respond with "What is that?" as none of the other staff seem to know about it either. The show itself was average and felt like just another Hawaiian show that you could see somewhere else. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

場所は小さな看板しか無くまず殆どの人が見逃すと思います。フロントで場所を聞いても、それって何？と言うか他のスタッフも皆さん知らないあり様です。ショー自体も普通で何処かで見ショー内容と言うかほぼ同じハワイアンショーですね。残念ですが次は無いです。

I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel and participated because I am learning hula. As others have mentioned, I don't think reconfirmation is necessary. When I arrived around 5 PM, there was a long line. Most of the people were foreigners. Arriving by canoe from the sea was something unique that other luau shows don't have, and it was very lovely. The food was quite tasty. The show was exciting and enjoyable. It would have been even better if there had been a modern hula show as well.

キングカメカメハホテルに滞在していたのと、フラを習っているので参加しました。
他の方も書かれているように、リコンファームは必要ないかと思います。
17時頃に行くと長蛇の列。
殆どが外国の方でした。
海からカヌーでの登場は他のルアウショーにはなく、とても素敵でした。
お料理は普通に美味しかったです。
ショーの内容も迫力があって楽しめました。
現代フラのショーもあったら尚良かったかな。

There are many similar tours, and I was a bit confused during the pickup. Since there are few staff members who can speak Japanese, it might be tough if you can't speak at all.

The show itself was enjoyable, but there were some experiences that were not available on the day.

似たようなツアーが多く、ピックアップ時に少し迷った。
日本語を対応できるスタッフが少ない、もしくはいないため多少なりと喋れないと辛いかもしれない。

ショー自体は楽しかったが、体験できるものが当日ないものもあった。

Captain, bartender and crew were excellent, lots of fun, relaxing and good vibes!

The seating was at a round table for eight on the first floor, and we were seated with others. There was live music on the first floor as well, but the second floor seemed better. The meal included salad, chicken, fish, pasta, and chocolate cake, but the taste was just okay. For drinks, the buffet course charges for everything except the welcome drink. After the meal, you can freely walk around the second and third floors and the deck. The fireworks lasted for five minutes starting at 7:45. While waiting for the sunset on the second-floor deck, we even caught a glimpse of a whale for a moment.

席は一階の8人がけ丸テーブルで相席でした。一階も生演奏がありましたが、二階席の方が良さそうでした。食事は、サラダ、チキン、魚、パスタ、チョコレートケーキで、味はいまいちでした。飲み物は、buffet コースは、ウェルカムドリンク以外有料です。食事が終われば二階、三階、デッキ自由に歩き回れます。花火は、7:45分から5分間でした。二階のデッキでサンセット待ってるいるときに、鯨も一瞬見れました。

I participated because of the good reviews. The experience met my expectations, and I was very satisfied with both the food and the show! The food was plentiful, and the fire dance was impressive and breathtaking.
The venue is in an easy-to-find location, so even for us who are not familiar with Hawaii, we were able to arrive without getting lost.
The impersonation lineup is classic, making it enjoyable even for us in our 60s.
At the end, we had the opportunity to take commemorative photos with the performers, which created great memories. I would like to participate again with my whole family next time.

口コミが良かったので参加しました。期待通りの内容で、ご飯もショーも大満足です！料理はボリュームがあり、ファイヤーダンスは迫力があって圧巻でした。
会場はわかりやすい場所にあるので、ハワイに不慣れな私たちでも、迷わず到着することがでにました。
モノマネラインナップは王道なので、60代の私たちでも楽しめる内容です。
最後は出演者の方との記念撮影も可能なので、思い出にもなりました。今度は家族みんなで参加したいと思います。

I definitely wanted to see hula dancing when I came to Hawaii! I compared various shows based on their programs. Many people told me that these kinds of shows aren't worth seeing, but this one was just as amazing as I imagined. Everyone finished their meals before the show too!

やっぱり、ハワイに来たらフラダンスはみたい！と思い色々なショーをプログラムを元に比較。色々な人にこの手のショーはみる価値ない。と言われたけど、ここはイメージ通り最高でした。ショーの前の食事もみんな完食してましたよ！

I chose the best seats, but there wasn't much of a sense of value. You can see from all four sides in a similar way. Two drinks are included, but that's about it. When it comes to going for a meal, groups with children are prioritized, so it didn't matter how good the seats were.

一番良い席にしましたが、あまりお得感がありません。
四方どこからでも同じような感じで見られます。
ドリンクが２杯付いてきますが、そのくらいです。
食事をとりに行くのも子供がいるグループが優先で、席が良くても関係ありませんでした。

The stage was close, and I felt the excitement and energy intensely, which was moving. Also, I felt that the fire dance had the most amazing technique I've ever seen.

ステージが近く、迫力とともに、ビンビンと熱気が伝わり、感動をしました。また、ファイヤダンスは、今までの中で一番凄いテクニックを持っていると感じました。

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

I participated in a company trip with my colleagues! There were many people from various countries, as well as those on vacation from the mainland and newlyweds. Even though my English isn't that great, with a little help from the drinks, I was able to have enjoyable conversations and spend a fulfilling time.

I think there were various types of alcohol, but I tried a Hawaiian beer and had some sparkling wine along with something else. I don't remember it well. There is the "too much drinking = restroom problem," but don't worry, there are restrooms available!

By the time sailing was over, I had completely developed a beer belly.

I want to go again!

社員旅行に行った際、仲間と一緒に参加しました!
色々な国の方や本土から休暇で来ている方、新婚さんなどたくさんの方がいらっしゃり、英語はそれほど得意ではないけど、お酒の力もかり、楽しく会話し充実した時間を過ごせました〜。

お酒の種類は色々あったと思うけど、ハワイアンbeerを一通り飲んだのと、スパークリングワインと何かを飲みました。よく覚えてない。「飲みすぎ=トイレ問題」がありますが、トイレもついてるのでご安心を!

セーリングが終了する頃にはすっかりビール腹になりました。

また乗りたいです!

In theory this would be a great experience... but the night we went the ocean was VERY rough and both my husband and I got violently ill. The crew did their best to make us comfortable but I have to wonder why no one said anything about the possible conditions. A little warning would have been nice. (“Hey, if you’re prone to motion sickness we would recommend you not attend tonight due to giant waves, etc.” or “Do not drink mai tais if you are concerned about being sick.”)

Also my 8 year old was scared out of his mind...so leave the kids at home. And take Dramamine. Better yet, watch the sunset from the beach.

My husband recovered right away but I was sick for 24 hours!! I couldn’t get the rocking sensation out of my mind, and ate nothing but saltines the next day. I really had no idea this would be possible from a 90 min boat ride. (To the captains credit he brought the boat in early because it was just too rough. I still wonder why we went out in the first place!)

What an amazing day, full of many unique experiences and very friendly staff.

It started with a great host on the bus ride to the centre. He was funny, informative and well spoken. The day continued with our guide throughout the centre. I recommend paying for the Ambassador experience. It is worth the extra dollars to ensure you make all the shows on time.

The feast we had for dinner was excellent quality and ample. There was the opportunity to eat seconds and thirds if you wanted.

The final show the breath of life was an amazing display. I would have been satisfied with just that show and dinner.

I will be recommending this experience to my family and friends.

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in this event. It often appears in guidebooks, so at first glance, I wasn't particularly interested. However, when I saw that it was being held on Christmas, December 25, I thought, "Why not go for dinner?" and went without much expectation. As a result, I had a great time! Very much so! We had a leisurely dinner starting around 6:30 PM, and the show began around 8 PM. When you think of Hawaii, you think of hula, and there were impersonators of Elvis and Michael. I didn't know much about Elvis due to my generation, but I was drawn into the entertainment and really enjoyed it. During our visit, I noticed that there were fewer Japanese guests than I expected, and there was a wide range of ages among the audience. The food was standard, but I enjoyed it. Being seated in front of the stage allowed us to feel close to the performers, and I personally recommend this seating.

ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、こちらは、初めての参加でした。ガイドブックなんかにもよくでているので、パッとみて、特に興味がなかったのですが、クリスマスの12月25日に催行されているのをみて、夕食がてら一度行ってみるか！と最初は、あまり期待せずにいきました。その結果、楽しかったんです。とても！ステージ前の席でまず６時半頃からゆっくりディナーをいただいて８時頃からショーが始まりました。ハワイといえばフラ、そしてプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんが登場しました。世代的にプレスリーほとんど知りませんでしたが、エンターテイメントに引き込まれて、とても楽しめました。お客さんは、私たちのときは、日本人の方は思ったより少ないという印象と、幅広い年代の方がいらっしゃってるなという感じでした。お料理は、標準的なものでしたが、おいしくいただきました。やはりステージ前は演者の方を近くに感じることができて、こちらのお席、個人的におすすめです。

Recently, I was told by someone who went to this show that my parents would love it, so I went! I didn't know much about Presley, but my mom, who initially wasn't interested, was super excited‼️ On the way back, she couldn't calm down and kept asking to take and enlarge photos! I couldn't take my eyes off the hula, and I had a wonderful time, which made me very happy! They also gave us plenty of time, so I was extremely satisfied. I was able to do a great job of being a good child to my parents!

先日、こちらのショーに行った方に、両親が喜ぶよ！と言われ行って来ました！わたしはプレスリーは分かりませんでしたが、はじめは乗る気もなかった母が大興奮‼️帰りには写真撮って引き伸ばしてー！と興奮冷めやらず。わたしはフラに目が離せなく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来幸せでした！時間もたっぷりやっていただいたので、大満足です。良い親孝行が出来ました！

It was my first dinner cruise in high waves and strong winds. Ten minutes after departure, I immediately got seasick... I ended up stuck at the back of the deck, feeling miserable the whole time. Because of that, I decided to buy a commemorative photo, but I forgot to pick it up, so I just ended up paying for it. I think it was distributed at the seats, but I wish I had received a notification... I will never go again.

波が高く風も強い中、初のディナークルーズでした。
出港して10分、即船酔い…結局ずっとデッキのうしろで地獄絵図…
そんなこともあり、記念写真を購入したのですが受け取るのを忘れてしまい、お金を払っただけになってしまいました。
多分、席に配られていたと思うのですが連絡欲しかったです…
もう二度と行きません。

It was amazing. Despite the bad weather, relatively low temperatures, and some rain, the fireworks were perfectly visible from the sea. The reflection of the fireworks on the water was beautiful! I was shivering along the way, but I enjoyed a Mai Tai because it was delicious, and they played great music to keep the atmosphere lively. Even though it was cold, I was sleepy, and the rain was intense, I couldn't feel anything but joy. I'm grateful for the wonderful crew who were so considerate, and for the cheerful and lovely people I shared the experience with. I want to go again!

最高でした。悪天候で、気温わりと低く、途中雨にも見舞われましたが、花火はバッチリ海上から見えました。水面に映る花火がまたキレイ❣️途中ガタガタ震えながら、美味しいのでマイタイを呑んでいましたが、上がる曲をかけてくれたり、盛り上げ上手で最高。寒いし、眠いし、雨は凄いし、帰りたくなりそうなところ、楽しい以外に感じられませんでした。気配りが素晴らしいクルーに感謝。乗り合わせた仲間、陽気なステキな人達に感謝。また行きたいな。

We had dinner first, and then watched a show in the hall, which was quite elaborate. There was even a fire dance, despite being indoors. The venue was in an area with many hotels, making it very convenient.

食事を先にして、その後ホールでショーを見たのですが、なかなかに凝ったショーでした。ちゃんとファイアーダンスもありましたし。室内なのに。
会場はホテルが多く立ち並ぶエリアで便利は良かったです。

The fireworks and night view were beautiful and amazing. The staff provided excellent service. I was very satisfied, even more than the amount I paid. Since it gets cold in winter, I think it's better to bring long sleeves.

花火と夜景が綺麗で最高でした
スタッフも凄くサービスが良かったです
金額以上に満足度が高いです
冬は寒いので長袖を持参したほうがいいと思います

I participated alone. There were just under 50 people on the bus, and I was the only Japanese person. Since it was close to Thanksgiving, most of the attendees were from the mainland United States or Canada. The guide on the bus enthusiastically encouraged everyone to introduce themselves to those sitting around them, which allowed me to connect with the people in front of me, behind me, and next to me (thanks to this, I became friends with an elderly Canadian couple sitting behind me, and on the way back, I sat next to the husband and we had a lively conversation).

We were able to experience hula, tattooing, and fire-starting, which I think kids would also enjoy. The fire dance was so intense that we could feel the heat even as audience members; it was spectacular and thrilling. The excitement from the audience was incredible, and just being there was fun! There was a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, and everyone in the venue celebrated together, creating a wonderful sense of unity. I think it's especially great for those on their honeymoon or celebrating anniversaries to create memorable experiences.

I believe you won't fully enjoy it unless you understand English to some extent, but if you want to fully experience the foreign atmosphere, I definitely recommend it!

1人で参加しました。バス５０名弱でしたが、日本人は私1人でした。サンクスギビング近かったのでholidayできているアメリカ本土の方やカナダの方がほとんどでした。バスの中からガイドさんがノリノリで周りの席の人と自己紹介し合いましょうと言われ、前後、隣の方と交流を深められました(お陰で後ろの席のカナダ人老夫婦と仲良くなり帰りのバスはそのご主人と隣に座って会話盛り上がりました)
hulaの体験や、タトゥー体験、火起こし体験もでき、お子様でも楽しめると思います。ファイヤーダンスは客先でも熱風を感じるほどで、迫力満点、素晴らしかったです。観客の盛り上がりもすごくてその場にいるだけで楽しかったです！結婚60周年というご夫婦がいて会場皆でお祝いしてとても一体感がありました。ハネムーンや記念日の方は特に良い思い出作りができると思います。
英語がある程度理解できないと充分楽しめないと思いますが、外国の雰囲気を存分に味わいたいなら是非オススメです！

Even though I was around the Sheraton Hotel with plenty of time, I couldn't get through from the Sheraton to the beach, which made me really anxious... The directions were hard to understand. In the end, I walked along the beach walk to the ocean side, turned right, walked to the end of the road, and took the path on the right that leads to the beach, where the boarding area was! I made it just in time.

Before boarding, I took some photos, and since the waves hit below the knees, wearing shorts was definitely the right choice. I enjoyed the sunset while sipping on a Mai Tai, with music playing loudly. It was the perfect optional tour for the last day of this trip!

余裕をもって乗り場のあるシェラトンホテル周辺にいたのに、シェラトンからビーチの通り抜けができず、焦りまくり…。道順の説明が分かりづらかった。結局、ビーチウォークを海側まで歩き、右折し、道の終わりまで歩いて、右手にビーチにでる小道を行けば、乗り場がありましたよ！ギリギリで間に合いました。

乗船前に写真を撮り、乗り込むのですが、膝下は波がかかるので、ショートパンツで正解でした。
マイタイを飲みながら、サンセットを楽しむ。しかもガンガン音楽を流して。今回の旅の最終日にぴったりのオプショナルツアーでした！

Beautiful views of Honolulu at night from the ocean, lovely food, and great, friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.

Great Captain & Barman/Crew hand/everything person. Music requests from passengers all included and plenty of drink - lots of fun with good care from the 2 crew!

From the time we were greeted to the final good byes it was a perfect day. everyone was so kind and gracious. Our guide Raff was outstanding and is considered ohana to us. He was very knowledgeable and took care of us so well we didn't want the day to end.
Next time we return to Hawaii we will come back to Polynesian Cultural Center.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

To relieve daily stress, both the captain and the passengers were cheerful people, and the mood was high. The view from the ship was also exceptional.

日頃のストレス解消、船長も乗客も、陽気な人達で、気持ちは、ハイテンション、達しました、船からの景色も、また、格別でした

I participated with my mother and aunt (both in their 60s). We enjoyed the sunset over the ocean while it was still light, and by the time we returned, we could see the night view of Waikiki from the sea. The duration was about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which might feel long for those who are not used to being on a boat, but I think it allows you to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii.

母親と叔母（共に60代）を連れて参加しました。明るいうちから、海上でサンセット、戻る頃には海からワイキキの夜景が見れました。時間は1:30程で船に慣れてない人は長いかなと感じますが、ハワイの海を充分に堪能できると思います。

I participate every time I go to Hawaii! We are the only Japanese people, and although we can't speak Japanese, we manage somehow! The atmosphere is great, and it's always a lot of fun. Since the boat sways, if you drink too much, you'll feel quite wobbly after getting off, haha.

ハワイに行くたびに参加しています！
日本人は私たちだけで、日本語も通じないですが何とかなります！ノリが良く、毎回とても楽しいです。船の揺れがあるので飲み過ぎると降りたあと結構フラつきます笑
