All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands. The canoe show was great!

Greeted with Aloha and smiles.
We have been many times to this luau. We enjoy it every time. Food is good, and if you don’t get full it’s your fault. Plenty of alcohol too. Every thing included in price. You learn a little history at the show.
The Smith family is very attentive. They are the definition of Aloha!

Beautiful property, wonderful food, and a very entertaining show.

I attended with my husband, his mother, and our two children, making a total of five of us. It was a wonderful show featuring hula, songs from Disney movies that the kids know, as well as music from Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, fire dancing, and more—something that the whole family could enjoy! They even took pictures with us, making it a very memorable experience. I definitely want to recommend it to everyone! ^ ^

主人の母、主人、子供2人と私の5人で参加しました。素晴らしいフラに加え、子供も知っているディズニー映画の歌や、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、ファイヤーダンスなどなど、家族みんなが楽しめるショーでした！！
一緒に写真も撮ってくれたりと、とても思い出に残るものでした。
ぜひぜ皆さんにもおススメしたいです^ ^

I felt that the fireworks were a bit far away, but overall it was good. My feet were completely bare. Marine shoes were also not allowed.

花火が少し遠いと感じましたがおおむね良かったです。
足は完全素足です。マリンシューズも不可でした。

It was more fun than I expected. The quality is high. The dancing and fire performances are excellent. I think it's great that the audience participates and helps create the stage.

The duration might be a bit long, around three hours.

Alcohol is all-you-can-drink, but there's a long line for general participants to order. The VIP priority counter is empty, but it's clearly distinguished. However, this is Hawaii after all. Staff members come around to take orders. You can order for about $1 each time. You'd be missing out if you didn't know this. Feel free to order and drink as much as you like. It was a great time.

イヤー予想を上回る楽しさでした。
完成度が高いですね。
踊りやファイヤーダンスも最高です。
客が参加し一体となってステージを作り上げるので良いと思います。

時間は若干長めかな？正味３時間くらい。

アルコールは飲み放題ですが、一般参加の注文する場所は大行列。
優先ＶＩＰ窓口はガラガラですが区別されています。
しかし、さすがハワイです。
席を回るスタッフが注文を取りにきてくれます。一人1回＄１程でオーダー可能です。知らなきゃ損です。どしどし注文して飲んでください。
良い時間でした。。

Well done. We loved the show and would do it again. We highly recommend this show.

There is guidance in Japanese from the pick-up onwards (including broken Japanese). They are punctual, and the buffet food is delicious. However, it may be a bit shaky on some days.

お迎えから全て日本語案内あり（カタコト含む）
時間に正確で、ビッフェのお料理もおいしいです
ただ、日によっては揺れるかもしれません

Since the trolley doesn't operate at the start time in the morning, we took a taxi from our hotel in Waikiki. We arrived in about 20 minutes. After checking in at the counter, a Japanese staff member named Miho gave us a 30-minute tour of the museum. From the garden plants to the history of Hawaii, it was a short time, but I learned a lot. Both the building and the garden were wonderful.

The hula lesson started at 10 AM. Since my daughter and I were the only students that day, it was a private lesson. We began with some basics, and the teacher's husband played the ipu heke, making it a luxurious lesson for beginners. The song was "Hale Maumau." I had done a little hula in Japan, but it might be a bit difficult for complete beginners. However, it felt like the lesson was tailored to the students. By the end of the one-hour lesson, we were able to dance one song, and we received a certificate at the end of the hula lesson. After that, we learned how to make a lei using ti leaves, which took about 30 minutes to complete. I wore the lei until the evening, and I received compliments while shopping.

After the program ended, we explored the museum, looking at things like the bird capes that Miho had shown us, and we returned by trolley.

Although it's a distance from Waikiki and there are no trolleys at the start time, I think it's a place worth visiting. If I have the chance, I would love to go again.

朝はトロリーがない時間にスタートなので、ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで行きました。
20分くらいで到着。
カウンターで受付後、日本人スタッフのミホさんが30分くらい博物館の案内をしてくれます。
庭の植物から、ハワイの歴史、短い時間でしたが、とても勉強になりました。
建物も庭も素晴らしいものでした。

10時からフラレッスン開始。
この日の生徒は私と娘だけだったので、プライベートレッスン。
始め少しベーシックをやり、先生のご主人がイプヘケを叩いてくれて、初心者向けには贅沢なレッスンでした。
曲はハレマウマウ。日本で少しフラをやっていたのですが、まったくの初心者だと少し難しいかもしれません。
でも生徒に合わせてもらえる感じでした。
一時間のレッスンで一曲踊れるようになり、最後に認定証を頂き、フラレッスンは終了。
そのあとティーリーフを使ってレイの作り方を教えてもらえるのですが、30分ほとで完成、その日は夕方までレイをかけていましたが、買い物先などで褒めてもらえました。

プログラム終了後は、ミホさんに教えて頂いた鳥のマントなど、館内を見て回り、帰りはトロリーで戻りました。

ワイキキからは距離があり、開始時間にトロリーがないので、タクシーなどで行かなければなりませんが、行く価値のある場所だと思います。
次の機会があれば、またぜひ行きたいです。

I thought it was over after watching the fireworks, but even after they ended, I was able to enjoy the peaceful sea out offshore. It was a lot of fun.

花火観賞で終わりとおもっていたが花火が終わった蹟も沖合いまで出て太平の海を満喫できました。楽しかったです。

The crew was great and the food was delicious. Advice for those who get sea sick: premediciate! The catamaran isn't huge, so riders definitely feel every wave. The evening we went the water was really rough and seasickness definitely puts a damper on an otherwise great experience.

I chose the King Kamehameha Hotel because I wanted to see the show.
We were supposed to gather at 5:30, but by 5:00, there was a long line at the meeting place.
We sit in the order we lined up for the seats in the show venue.
We go to the grassy area to get dinner and drinks in order.
The venue is very close to the ocean, near the home of King Kamehameha. The breeze was refreshing.

◎本ショーを見学したくて、キングカメハメハホテルを選択しました。
◎五時半集合でしたが、５時には集合場所が、長蛇の列でした。
◎並んだ順番に、基本　ショー会場の席に座ります。
◎芝生エリアに、夕食と飲み物を、順番にとりに行きます。
◎会場は海が直ぐ近くで、カメハメハ王の家の近く。風が清々しかったです。

Our family of four had a great time! Everyone was friendly and helpful. The event lasted 4 hours from start to finish, and is the best luau that we have been to so far. We would definitely go back!

Staying at Royal Kona was very convenient. I lined up early after reading the reviews and was able to get a spot relatively close to the front. As it started, the sunset was beautiful, and I was captivated by the stunning view. The meal was served in a way where we went to get it in order of seating, so it wasn't too crowded. The taste was good as well. The song "Number One Day of Christmas" was amusing and stuck in my head, and my family and I found ourselves humming it.

ロイヤルコナに泊まっていたので、とても便利でした。クチコミを見て早めに並び、わりと前の方で見ることができました。
始まる頃に夕日が沈み、素晴らしい景色にうっとり。
食事は座席順に取りに行く形でしたのでそれほど混むこともなかったです。
味も良かったですよ。
ナンバーワンデイオブクリスマスの歌が面白くて、耳に残り、家族で口ずさんでました。

Love the experience. Love the food. Will come back and visit again. We came with two small children’s 2 and 4. They love the show and the buffet. Love the boat ride and the theater show. Ac is very cold in the imax show. We took the boat ride and went the very back and visited all the villages back so it’s a one way trip to the buffet if the timing is right. And after the buffet we hang out by the market and listen to the live music.

We had a great evening. Only complaint is the seating is in the direct sun. They let us in at 545
Drinks good, food good. Main show started a 8 pm. They close down buffet pretty fast. We will do this again.

I previously participated in a luau at Hilton on the Big Island, but this was my first time on Oahu. It was a luau on a rooftop surrounded by hotels, and the show was wonderful. If I understood a bit more English, I might have grasped the explanations better, but I still enjoyed the stage performance. After the show, the dancers were also happy to take photos, and it seemed like the kids had a great time. Above all, it really felt like I was in Hawaii.

以前はハワイ島でヒルトンのルアウに参加しましたが、今回はオアフでの初参加でした。
ホテルに囲まれた屋上でのルアウでしたが、ショーは素敵なものでした。
もう少し英語が分かれば、説明している内容も分かったのでしょうけど、それでもステージは楽しめました。
ショーが終われば、ダンサー達も気軽に写真にも応じてもらえますし、子供も楽しめていたようでした。何より、ハワイに来たな〜と感じられます。

I wasn't expecting much from the food or the show, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable and delicious! When Michael came out, it was the best! I didn't know they had shows like this in Hawaii. The hula dancing was also wonderful. It's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

食事もショーも期待していませんでしたが、これが結構楽しくて美味しかった‼︎
マイケルが出てきた時は最高‼︎
ハワイでこんなショーをやってるのを初めて知りました。
フラダンスも素敵でした。
一度は是非‼︎

We had such a fabulous night on this cruise. The fireworks were fabulous but more importantly the hosts were great, funny and made the experience even better. Loved going for a sail afterwards and the maitais were delicious. Thanks for an awesome night.

The view was absolutely beautiful. Upbeat background music was playing, and there was an all-you-can-drink option (including alcohol) along with some simple snacks. You can choose your seat in the order you lined up, but every seat offers a great view, and you can freely stand up or move around, so honestly, any seat is good. (For those who are afraid of seasickness, the back is the least bumpy.) If you're at the very front, you might get splashed by the waves! The sunset was stunning! Seeing the Waikiki beach hotels and Diamond Head from the ocean was also wonderful! The breeze felt nice! It was the best.

景色が非常に良かったです。
ノリノリなBGMが流され、飲物飲み放題（アルコールも有り）、簡単なスナック菓子付。並んだ順に席を選べますが、どの席でも景色は良いですし、好きに立ったり席移動も自由なので、どこの席でも正直良いと思います。（船酔いが怖い人は一番後ろが一番揺れません）一番前だと、波をかぶって濡れてたかも？
夕日がキレイ！ワイキキのビーチホテル群もダイヤモンドヘッドも沖から見るのもまた良い！風が気持ち良い！最高です。

We participated as a family of four and enjoyed wonderful sailing in great weather. We took in the stunning views of the hotels along Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the beautiful sunset sinking in the west. The captain and all the staff only spoke English, but they were very attentive with boarding, disembarking, and serving drinks. Also, the popular Mai Tai initially feels like juice, but be careful as the alcohol kicks in after a while.

家族4人で参加、天候に恵まれ素晴らしいセーリングを楽しみました。海からのワイキキビーチのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景そして西に沈んでいく素晴らしい夕日を堪能しました。船長はじめスタッフは全員英語しかしゃべらないのですが、乗船下船や飲物サーブもしっかり対応してくれます。また、人気のマイタイは最初はジュースのように感じますが、そのうちアルコールが回ってきますのでご注意を。

Staff were amazing. Helpful and fun. Had an awesome sail and saw the sun set capturing the most amazing photos. It was relaxing and chilled. People were friendly and we all enjoyed the music as we watched the horizon. Thanks for a great experience

I had a great time starting with the Polynesian Show, followed by Presley and Michael! I would like to see it again when I travel to Hawaii!

ポリネスアンショーから始まり、プレスリー、マイケルととても楽しめました！
またハワイ旅行の時には、観たいと思っています！

The grounds are amazing at the Smith Family luau! The food are delicious and the after dinner show is awesome, the best luau ever!

We arrived at the scheduled time and greeted by our NASA ambassador, astronomer, Greg.
He was so enthusiastic and pointed so many amazing things to see in the night sky. My favorite was seeing Saturn! The GPS telescope was very impressive.
It was a beautiful location to learn about the stars, planets, and our solar galaxy as the sun went down over the horizon.
We will be back!

By booking a premium seat, you can watch right in front of the stage. They also come to take your drink refill orders, which is convenient. The buffet food was delicious. The hula dance was wonderful, but the final dance by the man using fire was magnificent!

プレミアム席を申し込むと舞台の真ん前で観られます。ドリンクのお代わりの注文も取りに来てくれ楽チン。ビュッフェの食事も美味しかった。フラダンスも素晴らしいけど、最後の火を使う男性の舞踊が勇壮でした！

At first, I was worried about getting wet from the waves and the rocking of the boat, but it was fine. I held back a bit on the all-you-can-drink option since there were no restrooms, but the Mai Tai on board was delicious. There were no snack appetizers.

最初は波で濡れることやゆれる事を心配しましたが、大丈夫でした。飲み放題もトイレがないので少し抑え目にしていましたが、船上のマイタイはおいしかったです。おつまみスナックはありませんでした。

Love the food and show. Was disappointed with the garden areas..

Entertaining evening enjoyed by whole family. Plus bonus swim in waterfall during the day. Hard to beat.
