All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Due to my child's poor health, I called at 5 PM the day before and was able to postpone our participation by one day. Thank you for your flexible response.

The half-day tour on the day was enjoyable with a funny guide named MAKI from Ibaraki. I also appreciate the guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center for their clear explanations.

However, the reason I did not give a five-star rating is that the dinner menu was only on the table, and I didn't know how to proceed. It was a buffet style, wasn't it? The menu on the table was for the buffet. I would have appreciated a brief explanation about that.

The subsequent night show was also wonderful and enjoyable. I would like to meet MAKI again. Thank you very much.

That's all.

子供の体調が悪かったため、前日の１７時に電話し、参加を一日ずらせてもらえました。臨機応変に対応いただきありがとうございました。

当日の半日観光は、MAKIさんという茨城出身の面白いガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターのガイドのお兄さんも、わかりやすく案内いただきありがとうございました。

しかし、評価が星５つではないのは、夕食が、メニューだけ机にあり、どう行動したら良いかわからなかったことです。バイキング形式だったんですね。机の上のメニューは、バイキングのメニューだったんですね。
そのような説明が一言、欲しかったです。

その後のナイトショーもすばらしく、良かったです。
また、MAKIさんに会いたいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

以上

We really enjoyed the day and had an excellent guide - JJ. Her beautiful smile was refreshing as was everyone's who worked there. Seemed like they all enjoy their job and are proud of the PCC.
So much education, impossible to see and grasp in one day. Beautiful scenery, wonderful entertainment. Was a little too warm, could have used a little AC here and there but no complaints!

There were many Americans on board, and thanks to their cheerful antics, it was a very exciting cruise. The gentle rocking of the boat and the pleasant buzz from the Mai Tai made the time fly by without boredom, and watching the sunset from the deck was the best memory of all.

アメリカ人の方も多く、陽気にはしゃぐ彼等のおかげでとてもエキサイティングな船旅でした。適度な揺れとマイタイの心地よい酔いで飽きることなく時間が過ぎて、夕陽の落ちていくのを船上で眺めるのは何よりの思い出でした。

The authentic dance show where you can learn about the history of Hawaii was wonderful. My family, especially my husband, was the most impressed since it was their first time in Hawaii.

This time we had the deluxe course, so being able to tour behind the scenes beforehand was a great preparation for enjoying the show. The cool guys who actually perform in the show were very relaxed and took photos with us, which became a great memory of our trip.

ハワイの歴史をショーで学ぶことができる本格的なダンスショーは、素晴らしかったです。ハワイが初めての家族(特に主人）が一番感動していました。
今回はデラックスコースだったので、事前に舞台裏を見学できたのも、ショーを楽しめるよい準備になったと思います。舞台裏では実際にショーに出演するかっこいいお兄さんが達がとても気楽に一緒に写真撮影をしてくれ旅の良い思い出となりました。

There were few Japanese people, and many locals... The show that starts with the entrance of Kamehameha was quite good. It wasn't very large, but it was compactly organized, and we could see well. The food was Hawaiian, and it was delicious. The show featured hula dances that told the story of humans being born from taro, hula dedicated to Kamehameha, and hula from various islands like Tahiti and New Zealand... all were skillful and full of highlights. I highly recommend this luau when visiting the Big Island.

日本人が少なくて、地元の方多し。。。カメハメハの入場から始まるショーはなかなかよいです。そんなに広くありませんでしたが、コンパクトにまとまっており、よく見れました。食事もハワイアンフードでしたが、おいしかったです。ショーもタロイモから人間が生まれ、カメハメハに捧げるフラ、そしてタヒチ、ニュージー等々の各諸島のフラ、、どれも上手で見どころ満点でした。ハワイ島の際はぜひおすすめしたいルアウです。

Since it is located in the Royal Hawaiian Center, I made a reservation at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, and after dining, we went for cocktails and the show. I went with my daughter and my grandson, and although my daughter belongs to a generation that doesn't know Elvis, she enjoyed it as she recognized some of the songs. My grandson also had fun doing the hand movements from Michael's "Thriller." Of course, I belong to the generation that grew up with Elvis and Michael, so I had the most fun. The hula was great too, and the fire dancer was impressive. After the show, I purchased a photo with Michael, which became a wonderful memory. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中にあるため、ウルフギャングステーキを予約していたので、食事した後カクテルとショーのみで予約して行きました。
小学校低学年の孫と娘といきましたが、娘はエルビスは知らない世代ですが、聞いたことのある曲もあるということで楽しんでいましたし、孫もマイケルのスリラーの手の振りなどして、楽しんでいました。
もちろん私はエルビスとマイケルどんぴしゃの世代なので一番楽しかったです。ほかにもフラもよかったし、ファイアーダンスの男の人も圧巻でした。
終わってから、マイケルとの写真も購入しいい思い出となりました。
またハワイに行ったら行きたいです。

My son wanted to see an authentic fire show, so we participated for the first time.

There were many foreign guests. The bus guide's high-energy talk was in English, and it was enjoyable.

The entire show was well-structured, combining experience, participation, and viewing, and we had a great time. If the food had been a bit tastier, it would have received a "perfect!" rating.

『最高でした！』評価でした。

The entire evening was so great because we had time to relax on the beautiful grounds and take pictures before dinner. The dinner was first class with so much food. The employees were so attentive and spoke to us often. The entertainment is of course very professional. This is a treasure to have these traditions kept alive. Thank you so much. We were sad when it ended.

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

Sunset sail, great crew, great music, good food. what more can you ask for. This is one of the best trips we have in Hawaii.
I have no word to describe how anyone would not join this cruise. The scene was gorgeous and the crew couldn't be more inviting. Everyone was kind and make sure that we are safe and still have fun. I enjoyed most is the Mai Tai and the buffet . What a relaxing way to enjoy the sunset. I highly recommend this event. Is a must to do in Oahu

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

We had a great time on our adventure across the galaxy and would highly recommend! Our favorite part was seeing the rings of Saturn from different angles and even seeing one star that had exploded 60,000 years ago and you can still see it exploding to this day

After reading experiences about how rough it can get out at sea, I changed my schedule to a day when the wind seemed to be calming down, based on the weather forecast. On the day of the trip, the wind speed was 5 m/s. Once we were out at sea, there were some waves that splashed water on us, but it felt like a little adventure and was quite fun! Most of the time, there wasn't much rocking, and we could enjoy the scenery and the sunset! My high school son was very satisfied as well. However, among about 50 passengers, there was one person who felt unwell. I took motion sickness medication just in case.

沖に出るとかなり揺れるという体験談を読んで、天気予報を見ながら風が弱まりそうな日に日程を変更しました。当日は風速5m/s。沖にでると、水しぶきがかかるほどの揺れもありましたが、ちょっとした冒険気分で楽し〜いという感じ。ほとんどの時間は揺れもあまりなく景色もサンセットも楽しめます！高校生の息子も大満足。なお、50人ぐらいの乗客の中で一人だけ気分が悪くなった人がいました。私は念のため酔い止めを飲みました。

I felt that both the dancers and the hosts were top-notch. The food was also delicious. This time, I had a golden seat right next to the stage, but I think you can enjoy it just as much from the seats further back.

ダンサー、司会者共に一流だなと感じました。
食事も美味しかったです。
今回はゴールデンシートで、ステージ真横の席でしたが、後方の席でも充分見えるし楽しめると思います。

Without having any expectations we can say that this excursion rocked! The captain and crew absolutely exceeded expectations in all areas - food, fun, booze, music, atmosphere and views! We weren't sure what to bring or really what to expect - bottom line is, you don't need to bring anything except a smile and a desire to relax and enjoy a great evening (and a camera if you're interested in getting some spectacular pics of the sunset, beaches, and some gorgeous coastlines). The food was quite delicious and well prepared (we've been on cruises like this before in other area's and is typical "rubber chicken" stuff - that was not the case here - excellent steak, bbq chicken, veggies, and fixings! The crew (doubling as bartenders) did not skimp on the drinks and made some truly good cocktails. The crew were also fantastic in checking on everyone and making sure everyone was having a good time and getting what they needed. The music they played was awesome and really helped set the atmosphere - you could dance by the moonlight or sunset and have a few romantic moments - or just some good atmosphere. We would absolutely go again!

Good points:
The night view of Waikiki from the boat was very beautiful and satisfying!

Bad points:
The meeting place was shared with other activities, which made it very confusing.
The fireworks are more beautiful in Japan.
The light meal course had few items and was simple. It wasn't enough for dinner.

良い点
船上からのワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で満足でしたよ！
悪い点
集合場所が他のアクティビティーと一緒でとても迷いました。
花火は日本の方が綺麗です。
軽食コースは品数もなく簡素でした。晩ご飯にはなりません。

Very entertaining show; we had a great time! Wonderful dancers!

The captain and crew of this boat were phenomenal! They created at atmosphere that was relaxed, fun and entertaining (no easy feat considering the diverse group on board!). The food was surprisingly excellent (we had low expectations and were quite pleasantly surprised) :) The drinks were quite good, generous and not watered down at all (again, something common on other cruises). The views were spectacular and the captain made sure that everyone knew what was coming and how / where to enjoy the sights. We would absolutely go out on this boat / trip again any time were on the island. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough.

I arrived about 10 to 15 minutes early, and there weren't many people yet. People started gathering around five minutes before the event.
I had a standard seat, but it was close to the stage and very easy to see! I think the seats themselves are not that different.
The food was delicious, and I had a really enjoyable time! The Polynesian dances from various regions were wonderful!

集合時間より10〜15分程早く着いたらまだあんま人はおらず。5分前頃から人が集まってきました。
スタンダードシートですがステージから近く、とても見やすかったです！座席自体はそんな大差ないかと思います。
料理も美味しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました！各地のポリネシアンダンスが素敵でした！

The food was delicious but very little time to eat! We were seated in a table where we were the last to be fed which was ok but thought they would give us more time to eat & drink. The garden is beautiful and enjoyable! The Smith's Luau was a great choice.
The Show was great too!

Compared to another cruising company, this one had a more subdued atmosphere without the wild partying. The combination of fireworks, sea breeze, and drinks was fantastic.

別のもう一つのクルージング会社に対してこちらはどんちゃん騒ぎせず大人しい感じ。花火と海風とお酒の組み合わせは最高だった。

I missed the meeting place and ended up passing by and going all the way to Waikiki, which made me anxious, but I managed to make it in time. It was my first time seeing the fireworks festival on Friday. After that, I went sailing for nearly an hour and was able to see the sparkling stars on the night sea, with the moon rising over Diamond Head, creating a magical view. Next time, I want to join to see the sunset.

集合場所がわからずに通り過ぎてワイキキまで行ってしまい、焦りましたが何とか間に合いました。金曜日の花火大会は初めて見ました。その後はセイリングで１時間近く夜の海を星の輝き、ダイヤモンドヘッドの上に月が上がり幻想的な景色を見ることができました。今度はサンセットを見に参加したいです。

The scenery was amazing, and the cheerful and reliable crew was also enjoyable. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate!!!!

景色も最高でしたが、陽気で頼もしいクルーも楽しかったです。また、機会があれば、参加したいです！！！！！！！！！！

We were a group of 13 and ready for a great time. We certainly weren’t disappointed! Ryan and Magic Mike were awesome we would absolutely recommend this cruise. The views were outstanding and I can’t wait to go back.

I was able to experience various activities, and the show was fun and enjoyable! It was a program that the whole family could enjoy, regardless of age. I would like to participate again next time!

色々な体験も出来て
ショーも楽しく良かったです！
年齢関係なく、家族で楽しめるプログラムでした、又次回も参加したいです！

The fire dance was the only good part.

However, there were very few drink options for the all-you-can-drink, and it took an astonishing amount of time to reach the buffet. Everyone entered early, so it felt like we wasted hours. (Originally, the meal was supposed to start an hour after the drinks, but there were delays and waiting in line.) This was surprising to the point that it couldn't just be brushed off as "because it's overseas."

The crowd was mostly Americans, and everyone seemed to be waiting reluctantly. An American lady next to me shouted, "I'm hungry!"

I went with my husband at the end of July, and since it was a venue that could hold hundreds of people, we left with a wry smile, thinking they must be making quite a profit. The seats I bought were $100 per person. The reviews were quite good, so it was baffling.

ファイヤーダンスのみ良かったです。

ただ、飲み放題の種類も少なく、ビュッフェにたどり着くまで、恐ろしく時間がかかりました。皆さん前もって早めに入るので、何時間も無駄にした感じでした。(もともと食事は飲み物のあと、一時間後開始ですが、遅れや順番待ちもあり)
こればかりは、「海外だから、、」ですまされないレベルで驚きました。
満席の客層はほぼアメリカ人でしたが、皆仕方なく待っているといった感じでした。横のアメリカ人のおばさまは、「アイムハングリー！」と叫んでいました。

7月末に主人と行きましたが、何百人も入る開場なので、相当の儲けだね～と苦笑いしながら帰ってきました。私が買った席は1人100ドルでした。口コミはなかなか良かったので、意味不明でした。

This is my second consecutive year enjoying the sunset sailing. I had a great time with people I just met today, cheering with drinks in hand, and I was moved by the fantastic view of the setting sun. I'll definitely come again next year!

２年連続のサンセットセーリング、お酒を片手に今日初めて会ったばかりの人達と陽気に盛り上がって、沈む夕日の幻想的な光景に感動しました。また来年も来ま～す！！

Crew was spectacular, the boat was clean and well maintained, and the ocean was well behaved. Couldn't ask for anything more :)

It was a perfect night on the ocean as it was my wife’s Birthday so I decided to take her on the dinner cruise every thing was perfect , from the Lady and crew who picked us up from the hotel to the cruise staff ,food was great service was great and entertainment was fantastic I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out

From the pre-show to the main event, the host uniquely kept things interesting and it was very entertaining. The luau show at Hilton was the best in terms of venue size, stage size, and the host's skills. The dancers in the luau show seem to rotate among the hotels, as I have seen them in other shows as well...

プレショーから本番まで、司会の方がユニークに飽きさせずに進行して、とても面白かったです。ヒルトンのルアウショー は、会場の規模、舞台の大きさ、司会の技量等、一番良かったです。ルアウショー の踊る人たちは各ホテル持ち回りのようで、ほかのショーでも見かけましたが・・・・。
