Drums of the Pacific Luau with Open Bar at Kaanapali Hyatt Regency Maui

Disappointed

Reviewed by: Sue & James Nivens

I am VERY disappointed with this Luau. I have attended many luau's in Maui and this was my second time to this one and I will never book again. The guys performance was way better than the girls. The luau seemed shorter than the last time and of all luau's I have attended. We paid ALL this money for 3 of us. It was NOT cheap. 200.00+ dollars is quite much when your expecting a good show. Every luau I have been to, we were able totake pic with. This time NO1 did. All the dancers left. We paid for our "luau" picture and our 7 yr old son was soo excited because he thought he was going to be able to take pictures. We went to Maui on our honeymoon last yr and attended The Royal Lahaina and it was so great. It felt like how a luau should. The experience was amazing. We took pic with the performers and our son saw the pictures and wanted to do everything we did. I attended the drums of the pacific in 2007 with my late brother who recently passed and it was great. I wanted to go to this one to reminice about my time with my brother. Needless to say I hate posting a bad review because I love Hawaii. My sons first time in Hawaii and THIS was suppose to be the highlight. :/

Dance is ○. ダンスは○

Reviewed by: tks

The meals weren't particularly noteworthy, but the show (dance) was interesting. It was great to see various Polynesian dances up close. The staff member who accompanied us on the shuttle bus was a student, and it seemed like they were doing their best. However, even though they were Japanese, their use of honorific language was quite incorrect, so I think that area could be improved.

食事は特筆するような感じでもなかったのですが、
ショー（ダンス）は興味深かったです。ポリネシアの色々なダンスを
間近で見ることが出来て良かったです。
送迎バスに添乗してくれたスタッフさんは学生さんとのことで、
一生懸命、務めていらしたように思えました。
ただ、日本人なのに、敬語の使い方が
結構、間違っていたので、そのあたりは改善された方がいいと思います。

It was fun despite the rain! But... 雨だけど楽しかった！でも・・・

Reviewed by: miyu

A few days ago, due to the impact of the hurricane, I was unsure if the luau would take place, but it was eventually confirmed. I went in a good mood, but it started to rain... I ended up eating dinner under a towel provided by the hotel. This kind of experience is something you can't have in Japan, and the food was quite delicious, so it was fun in its own way. However, the seating was not what you would expect from something called "premier." While we were close to the stage, we ended up in a spot with steps that obstructed the view, which was disappointing since I was really looking forward to the hula. I thought sitting further back in the center would have been better.

My biggest complaint, though, is about the photos! I mentioned that I had my eyes closed, but they assured me it was fine. I felt suspicious but went along with it, only to find that the final product was indeed a photo with my eyes closed. It was a keepsake, and since we were in it, I ended up buying it, but it was terrible! This was the only chance I had to see this luau, so I reluctantly purchased it, but it felt like a rip-off. I probably won't go again!

数日前のハリケーンの影響なのか、知人情報によると催行されるのかどうなのかと朝から検討中だったルアウ。結局なんとか催行される事になった。ごきげんで行ったが途中から雨が・・・。雨の中でホテルが提供してくれたバスタオルをかぶりディナーを食べていた。こんな経験は日本ではできないので、料理もなかなか美味しいしこれはこれで楽しかった。ただ、席についてはプレミアと名乗るようなものではなく、舞台の近くではあるのだが、私たちは運が悪いのかステップのあるところで邪魔になってしまい、フラをとても楽しみにしていたのに残念だった。これなら正面の後ろのほうがまだましなのではと思った。あと最大の不満は写真！目をつぶってしまったと言ったのに確認してくれて大丈夫と言われ、不審に思って引き下がったが、できあがったのはやはり目をつぶったものだった。記念だし、自分たちが写っているから買っちゃったけど、とにかくあれはひどい！今回はこのルアウしか見るチャンスが無かったから仕方なく買ったけどあれはぼったくりとしか言いようが無い。たぶんこれにはもう行かない！

I'm glad I saw it! The traditional luau and hula Hawaiian show! 見て良かった！　伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー！

Reviewed by: terran

It was a trip with my daughter, and this was my first trip to Hawaii.

Since I don't know if I'll have another opportunity, I wanted to make sure I had no regrets, so I researched several "Hawaiian dance shows" and decided on this one.

The seats I chose were premium seats, which are naturally more expensive than general seating, but the location of the show and the dining arrangements were always prioritized, allowing me to gain satisfaction beyond the price.

The dance performances were enjoyable, with the professional dancers showcasing beautiful and refined techniques.

The host's skillful storytelling and ability to energize the atmosphere made the experience fun. The nearly three-hour show was entertaining and never boring.

On the way back, I had a memorable two-shot photo with a beautiful hula dancer. The premium seats are about 4,000 to 5,000 yen more than general seats, but considering the location and the privileged service, I highly recommend the premium seats.

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend the premium seats. Enjoy!

娘との旅行でしたが、今回が私にとって初のハワイ旅行です。

これから機会があるかどうかはわかりませんので、せいぜい悔いのないようにしたいと見たい「ハワイのダンスショー」もいくつか案内と内容を調べ、このショーに決めました。

選択したシートはプレミアシートで一般よりは当然高いのですが、
ショーを観劇する場所といい、食事の案内といい常に優先されて、
価格以上の満足感を得ることができました。

ショーのダンスも楽しく、プロの踊りはきれいで美しく
そして鍛えられた技を見せてくれます。

司会者の巧みな話術や盛り上げ方など楽しく場面を盛り上げてくれます。
３時間近くのショーは楽しく決して見あきることはありませんでした。

帰りにはきれいなフラ姿のお嬢さんとツーショット撮影も記念になりました。
プレミアシートの席は一般席より４~５千円ぐらい高いのでしょうが、
席の場所、優遇されたサービスを考えればお勧めのプレミアムシートです。

これから、感激されるならプレミアムシートをぜひお勧めします。
楽しんでください。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

It's a show that allows you to experience Hawaii. ハワイを実感できるショーです

Reviewed by: 若く見えるが実はおじさん

This time, my spouse and I stayed on the Big Island for six days.

We only booked the "Deluxe Tour to World Heritage Site Kilauea and Mauna Kea Stargazing (Volcano and Stars in One Day!) by Kailani Tours Hawaii" through VELTRA, so we also signed up for this plan to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere. It was definitely the right choice!

Although there were opinions in the reviews that everything was in English and it wouldn't be fun unless you were proficient in the language, I’m posting this to alleviate those concerns and help others enjoy it more.

1. First, the coupon reception
I attached a photo, but when you enter the Kamehameha Hotel and go to the right at the dedicated reception, you can present your coupon, and they will tell you the meeting place. (Staff were present at this reception from the morning.) This map was provided by the hotel. Since I’m not good at English, bringing it along to ask about the meeting place was a good decision. I might not have understood it just verbally... (It was in an area that seemed to explain Hawaii's history within the hotel.)

2. Meeting place and landmarks
I attached a photo for this as well, but there will be signs in the hotel, so that’s where you gather. The person at the dedicated reception told me to arrive by 5 PM, but be careful about that! It’s better to arrive about an hour early to secure a good spot in line. I arrived 50 minutes early and was at the front of the general line, but there was already one group in the priority line, and it became a queue after about 20 minutes. The seating is first-come, first-served, so it’s best to gather early!

3. Content
After lining up, I received a free lei (I didn’t purchase the paid ones) and took photos (they will come around selling them), and after checking in, we went to the venue to grab drinks and were shown to our seats. I was the first to arrive and sat in the front row center of the general seating, but the Japanese people who arrived normally and lined up were also seated together in fairly decent spots in a separate group. (It seems they make arrangements so that you can converse with others in Japanese.)

At the venue, a band was already performing, and there were free services like tattooing and weaving fish with grass. Of course, drinks, including alcohol, were free-flowing.

Dinner started around 6:15 PM, and it gets dark before 7 PM, so it’s best to wrap up your meal and drinks by then.

Having researched the structure of this event through reviews, I was able to enjoy it a lot even though I’m not good at English. It was fun. (I think it would be enjoyable even for families with children!)

今回はハワイ島に夫婦で６日間の滞在でした。

VELTRAさんの「高級バン（メルセデス・ベンツ）で行く！世界遺産キラウエアとマウナケア山麓星空観測(１日で火山と星 ♪）デラックスツアーby カイラニ・ツアーズ・ハワイ」しかツアーは申し込んでいなかったので、ハワイの雰囲気を堪能するためにこのプランも申し込みました。
参加して大正解でした！

口コミではすべて英語なので語学が堪能でないと面白くないとの意見も出ていましたが、そんな不安を解消するためと、より楽しんでもらうために投稿をします。

１．まずはクーポンの受付
　写真を張りましたが、カメハメハホテルを入って右手の専用受付にクーポンを出すと、
　集合場所を教えてくれます。（この受付は朝からスタッフが張り付いていました。）
　この見取り図はホテルでもらった見取り図です。英語が苦手なため持参して集合場所を聞い
　たのは正解でした。口頭だけだとわからなかったかも、、、
　（ホテル内にあるハワイの歴史説明エリアみたいなところでした。）

２．集合場所や目印
　これも写真を張りましたが、ホテル内に看板が出されるのでそこに集合です。
　専用受付の人は１７時に行けばいいと教えてくれますが、そこは注意！
　約一時間前に行って列の先頭をとれるかとれないかの感じです。私は50分前に行って
　一般列の先頭でしたが、既に優先席列には一組並んでいましたし、２０分ぐらいしたら行列
　になっています。観覧席は早いもの順なので早めの集合が良いですよ！

３．内容
　行列に並んだあと、無料レイ（有料例は購入しませんでした）を受けもらって撮影後
　（会場で売りに来ます）、本受付をしたのちに会場までいって飲み物を取って席に案内を
　してもらいます。
　私は一番乗りで一般席最前列中央でしたが、普通に来て並んでいた日本人たちは、別グルー
　プでもそんなに悪くない席にある程度まとめて座らせてもらっていました。（日本語で他人
　と会話ができるようにしてくれる配慮みたいです）
　
　会場ではすでにバンドが演奏、タトゥーや草で魚編む体験など無料のサービスがあります。
　もちろん飲み物もアルコールを含めてフリードリンクです。

　1815ぐらいから食事開始で、19時前には手元も暗くなりますから、それまでに食事や飲み
　物はひと段落しておいたほうがいいですね。

ある程度、このイベントの構成等を口コミ等で調べていたので、英語が苦手でもすごく楽しめました。
楽しかったです。（お子様がいても楽しめると思いますよ！）

I hope you had fun! 楽しめたかな？？

Reviewed by: たけうち　ひろたか

The entire family participated. The event was conducted entirely in English, and I thought that those who didn't understand English might not grasp the meaning very well. Still, we were able to have a reasonably enjoyable time. Since similar shows are held in various places, I think it would be good to compare them. If asked whether I would come here again, I think I would look for a different place. I thought the levels of Tahitian dance and hula dance were quite high. Regarding the seating, the premium option is good because it is close to the stage and allows you to go to the buffet first. Since the seats are not assigned, if you want a good spot, I recommend arriving a bit early to line up rather than just before the show starts. They offer body painting before the show, which was popular among children and women.

一族総出で参加しました。終始英語で司会進行され、英語が分からない人には意味がよくわからないのではないかと思いました。それでもそれなりに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。さまざまな場所で同じようなショーが行われているので、見比べてみるのも良いかと思います。次回ここに来るかと聞かれたら、私はまた違うところを探すと思います。タヒチアンダンス、フラダンスともにレベルは高いのでないかと思いました。シートについてはプレミアだと舞台近くであることと、ビュッフェを先に取に行ける点が良いですね。座席は指定席ではないので、良い位置でみたいのならば開始直前に行かれるのではなく、ちょっと早めに行って並ぶ方が良いと思います。
ショー開始前にボディーペイントを行っています。子供・女性に人気でした。

The buffet meal was delicious enough with the standard course, and I was satisfied! My seat for the show was on the side of the stage, but it was close enough to see well. During the show's intermission, several people moved to more visible seats that were available. I wasn't sure if it was okay to move, so I stayed in my seat until the end, but I would have appreciated a little note letting me know it was fine to switch if there were open seats!

Late-Entry Ambassador Package - Average Experience

Reviewed by: Kristen

After reading so many reviews, we expected this experience to be great; however, we found most of the evening to be okay at best. The prime rib and seafood, "prime" dining, is not good. Much of the hot food was luke-warm, the roast beef...I mean prime rib...although pretty sure it was roast beef, was way overcooked and just gross, and much of the food was slimy and just inedible. There was one hot seafood item which was somewhat hot/somewhat still frozen, and my husband said was disgusting. It was not prime dining. I would suggest skipping dining there altogether.

We had some time to walk around; however, most of the exhibits are just artifacts or movies/shows. The Samoa live show was interesting and entertaining, but the videos were boring and I can't imagine what you could spend an entire day there doing (we went late at 4 PM and had plenty of time). The "Ha, Breathe of Life" show was the best part for sure. The show was entertaining; however, it was very long. We went to another luau and show earlier in our trip, booked through the cruise line, and I would say that show was better. "Ha, Breathe of Life" was very long and had a lot of repetitive dancing. They do a part of the show for each Island, so after awhile the dancing gets repetitive. Some aspects were really neat: fire dancing, a few of the dances with props, etc, but it would have been better if it hadn't been so extremely long and repetitive.

Overall, I can't say that I would recommend this experience. If I did, I would recommend the show, without eating dinner. Additionally, be prepared to pay extra for everything and have things that cost money constantly offered to you (I understand, it is a vacation destination, but for the Polynesian Cultural Center, which doesn't allow tipping and is all about culture, it just seemed weird after awhile). Next time we go to Hawaii, we will try a luau closer to the resort area, and skip the Polynesian Cultural Center.

This time, I attended a dinner show for the first time in Waikiki.

It was a standard plan, but I was able to enjoy the dance performances and the food was reasonably delicious.

However, the time between receiving the welcome drink and going to the buffet was too long, which was quite exhausting.

Depending on the seating order, some guests were served a bit earlier, but it would have been better if they could have accommodated us sooner.

Since I had an alcoholic welcome drink, I ended up getting tipsy before going to get the food.

The show itself was very satisfying.

Reviewed by: サカマイ

Since I stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel, I had no travel time at all. I wasn't sure where the reception was and got a little lost, but I saw a line forming, so I joined it. While waiting, I was asked if I wanted to buy a lei and had the chance to take some photos.

After checking in, I went to the venue next to the beach and made my way to my seat with a drink in hand. The Mai Tai was really delicious. I ordered various drinks and enjoyed them. The staff guided us to our seats as we arrived. Once seated, I chatted with the people next to me and across from me while waiting for the show to start. I was a bit anxious since I don't speak much English, but everyone was kind and spoke to me.

The show was entirely in English, but it was enjoyable to watch, so I found it interesting. It was an impressive performance.

However... since it was outdoors, there was a downpour, and I received a raincoat from the staff to watch the show. The show proceeded as scheduled despite the rain. Even in the downpour, I laughed with those around me, saying, "Wow, the rain is intense!" This became a good memory.

The food was delicious, especially the meat, taro, and poke. I think it's better to take a lot at once so you can enjoy the show at a leisurely pace. There are many types of drinks, so I believe you'll find a favorite.

I think this Hawaiian show offers an experience of "Hawaii" that you can't find on Oahu.

I would love to participate again if I stay at the King Kamehameha Hotel.

食事もおいしく、お肉、タロイモ、ポケがとてもおいしかったです。
一回でたくさん取ったほうがゆっくりショーが見れますので良いと思います。
飲み物もたくさん種類がありますので好みのお酒が見つかると思います。


オワフ島では味わえない『ハワイ』が体験できるハワイアンショーだと思います。

またキングカメハメハホテルに泊まったら参加したいです。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Lots of fun

Reviewed by: Gretchen

This was our first luau experience and it was fantastic. Transportation was included, the bus was on time and comfortable. When we arrived, they took a photo that had a beautiful back drop (amazing scenery with the mountain and the ocean), photo was $10 and quite decent quality. There were fun pre-show activities and drinks available. The buffet was good, we paid for the middle of the road package which was worth it. The emcee was funny and personable and the show was very entertaining, the woman sitting next to us said that they had been to several luaus and this was by far the best fire show they'd seen. We were called onto stage because it was our honeymoon and they gave me a nice flower bouquet. Overall it was really a great experience! The whole staff worked hard to make the night a good one. Worth every penny!

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

Amazing time! Best guide ever!

Reviewed by: Candice

When we first booked this tour it was at the recommendation of my parents who had visited a few years previously. My husband and I were originally going to explore the center on our own, however, after spending an hour on the bus with Jermaine (hope I spelled that right) and learning that he was giving the tour, we decided to pay a little extra and join the tour group. Best investment we made on our vacation. Not only was Jermaine knowledgeable, friendly, and seriously hilarious, but he got us to all the shows and we saw more than if we had tried to navigate the center ourselves. Highly recommend this place to everyone, and pay the extra for a guide. Well worth it.
