All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I had a wonderful time from start to finish. The performance and Hawaiian music were absolutely fantastic, and the female duet performing Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley was very exciting. The dancers' movements were sophisticated, and I was so captivated by the final fire dancer that I forgot to breathe.

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude not only to the dancers and singers but also to the table service staff. Thank you for the excellent hospitality; it was thanks to you that I was able to enjoy this memorable time in Hawaii. Mahalo.

最初から最後まで、素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。演奏・ハワイアンミュージックは最高に良かったし、女性のデュエット・マイケル・ジャクソン・エルビスプレスリーを演じた方は、とてもエキサイティングでした。
ダンサーたちの動きは洗練されていて、最後のファイヤーダンスのダンサーは息をするのも忘れるくらい見入ってしまいました。
最後に感謝を伝えたいのは、ダンサーや歌手の皆さんだけではなく、テーブルサービスされているスタッフの方たちもです。最高のもてなしをしていただき、このハワイの思い出深い時間を過ごせたのもあなたたちのおかげです。『Mahalo』

It was great to have only Japanese and Asian participants, which gave it an international feel. I became friends with the Riana couple, who live in Arizona and have a vacation home in Hawaii, and we had a lot of fun joking around together. It might be difficult for those who are not good at English at all, but if you can speak a little, you'll definitely have a good time.

日本人、アジア人の参加が自分たちだけで、海外感が良かったです。アリゾナに在住でハワイに別荘を持ってるリアナ夫妻共お友達になり終始ジョーク言い合って楽しかったです。英語が全くダメな方には難しいかもしれませんが、少し出来れば十分楽しめる感じですよ。

Check-in at the Outrigger Reef beach tent is at 5:00, and we regroup at 5:20 to board the boat barefoot and set off. There is space behind the bench for bags and sandals. The all-you-can-drink options include Mai Tai, beer, sparkling drinks, and wine. We head out further into the ocean. It can get boring sitting down, so I stood at the front. The boat rocked a lot, but it was fun! Those who are prone to seasickness might struggle. There were only my husband, a girl, and me, the only Japanese people on board. Even without speaking English, we had a great time. Along the way, we saw a rainbow toward Diamond Head! It was so beautiful. The front of the boat gets splashed by the waves, so you will get wet. I was having so much fun that I lost track of what time the sunset was… I didn’t pay much attention since there were a lot of clouds. I recommend this for those who love the ocean and drinks and are okay with being on a boat.

ｱｳﾄﾘｶﾞｰﾘｰﾌの砂浜のﾃﾝﾄで5:00受付、5:20に再集合して裸足で船に乗り込み出発。ベンチの後ろに荷物とサンダルを置くｽﾍﾟｰｽあり。飲み放題の飲み物は、マイタイ、ビール、スパークリンク、ワインなど。沖に向かってどんどん進んでいきます。座っていてもつまらないので、前の方に立ってました。するとものすごく揺れます。でもそれが楽しかった！船に弱い人は無理かも。日本人は私たち夫婦と女の子一人だけ。英語が喋れなくても十分楽しめました。途中ダイアモンドヘッド方面に虹が！すごくきれいでした。先端の方は波が来るので濡れます。楽しすぎて何時夕日が沈んだか分からない位…雲が多かったのであまり気にして見てませんでした。海とお酒が好きで船が大丈夫な人にはお勧めです。

The Polynesian Cultural Center was truly wonderful and moving. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit here. I thought it was a bit expensive, but I believe it was worth even more than that. Next time, I would like to participate in a tour of just the gardens. The transportation was also efficient and comfortable.

ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは、大変すばらしく、感動しました。ハワイは何回か行っていますが、こちらは初めて行きました。少々高いかと思いましたがそれ以上の価値があると思いました。次回は園のみの観光があれば参加したいです。送迎も手際よく快適でした。

The venue is on the rooftop of the 6th floor, and every visitor is given a fresh flower lei, which you can take back to Japan. Upon entry, you can take commemorative photos with the dancers, and during the show, seats are sold for $50. Once seated, the buffet starts in order of table rank, and then the show begins. There was a sudden downpour, but the venue staff, who were older gentlemen, distributed raincoats to everyone. The content of the show was stunning, with a different level of excitement compared to Spa Resort Hawaiians in Fukushima Prefecture.

6階屋上が会場で、来場者の全ての方に生花レイをかけてくれて、日本に持ち帰えることも出来ました。
入場するとダンサーの方と記念撮影、ショーの最中に50ドルで席まで販売してきます。
着席するとテーブルランク順にブュッフェスタート、そーするとショーもスタートします。
途中、スコールがありましたが、会場スタッフのおじいちゃん達が一人ひとりにカッパを配ってました。
ショーの内容は圧巻、福島県のスパリゾートハワイアンズとは違った迫力がありました。

Excellent food and entertainment. The show was outstanding and the buffet style was great to be able to try several new foods

The last time I went to Hawaii, I enjoyed a dinner cruise where I could relax and savor my meal while cruising, but this sailing experience made me feel even closer to the ocean. It was truly wonderful to be splashed by the waves and to connect with nature! I could feel the ocean's blue up close, the wind on my skin, and the pleasant buzz from the Mai Tai and beer added to the sense of freedom. The sailing staff were very friendly and even danced with us, which made it so much fun! I definitely want to do this again when I go back to Hawaii!

前回ハワイへ行った時はディナークルーズに乗りゆっくり食事をしながらクルージングを楽しみましたが、このセイリングはもっと海を身近に感じ、特には波しぶきもかぶり自然と対話する素晴らしいものでした！
海が近く海の青さを実感でき、風を直接肌で受け、程よいアルコール（マイタイとビールを頂きました！）で更に開放感
そしてセイリングスタッフとダンスを踊っていただき、とてもフレンドリーな方達でとても楽しかったです！
またハワイに行ったら乗りたいと思います！

Perhaps due to the large number of attendees, the weather was not particularly bad, but the event was held in an indoor facility adjacent to the outdoor venue. However, the indoor space was equipped with better lighting and facilities, which made the show even more enjoyable than it might have been outdoors.

Additionally, the fire dance was performed in a small courtyard area just outside the indoor venue. We were able to stand up from our seats and surround the performers, allowing us to see them up close and truly enjoy the experience.

人数が多かった為か、特に天候は悪くなかったのですが屋外会場でなく隣接する室内施設での開催でした。
ただ、屋内の方がライトアップ設備等が充実しており、むしろ屋外よりもショーを楽しめたのでは、と思っています。

また、ファイアーダンスのみは室内から少しだけ出た中庭のような場所で行われ、席から立って演者を囲む形で見学するのですが、とても近くで見ることが出来、楽しむことが出来ました。

From the land, it was once. Last year, I was too busy eating on the dinner cruise, and by the time the fireworks started, it was already too late, resulting in a disappointing outcome. This time, I chose this tour that I previously boarded at sunset. Although there were changes in the captain and crew, the friendly atmosphere remained the same, and the all-you-can-drink option made for a pleasant fireworks viewing experience. When the captain shouted "SAKE NOMIHOUDAI" in Japanese, several Japanese people applauded.

陸上からは1回。昨年はデイナークルーズで食べるのに忙しくて花火の歓声が上がった時には、既にとき遅し残念な結果となりました。今回は以前サンセットで乗船したこのツアーにしました。船長やクルーの変更はあったけど、フレンドリーな雰囲気はそのままでドリンク飲み放題も効して気持ちよく花火鑑賞ができました。船長が日本語で「SAKE　NOMIHOUDAI」と叫んだときは数人の日本人が拍手しました。

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

I arrived a little earlier than my reservation time, but I was smoothly guided to a great seat right in front of the band. The music was pleasant and the atmosphere was perfect. Unfortunately, the deluxe pupu platter we ordered was enormous, and there was no way we could finish it. We ended up leaving some behind, even though we wouldn't eat it as takeout. I'm sorry to the staff for that. It was so good that I visited again the day before my return home. This time, I ordered just one pupu dish, and it was just the right amount.

予約時間より少し早くつきましたが、スムーズにバンドの正面の良い席に案内されました。音楽も心地よく雰囲気もバッチリ。残念なのは予約のデラックスププメニュー。凄い山盛り盛り絶対に我々は食べきれない。テイクアウトしても食べないので残しました。お店の方ごめんなさい。良かったので帰国の前日に又、訪れました。今度はププを一品だけ注文して丁度いい感じでした。

It was my first show. I didn't have high expectations, but it was surprisingly fun and a great show. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

初めてのしょうでした。きたいはしていませんが思った以上にすごく楽しくて良いショーでした。また機会があれば行きたいです。

Michael's dance show was amazing. The hula show was also authentic and powerful. Everyone is saying it was great to have the VIP seats.

マイケルのダンスショーが最高でした
フラショーも本物で、迫力ありました
ＶＩＰ席でしたがこちらにして良かったとみんな言ってます

I was able to enjoy the sunset, fireworks, and all-you-can-drink at a low price! Since snacks are not provided, I brought my own nuts.

There was a Japanese couple in their 50s who were loud and rude, having already been drunk before boarding. Their daughter and son-in-law, who were traveling with them, said, "Mom, you're being loud and it's embarrassing, so let's pretend we're not related." I wish their family had intervened.

サンセットに、花火に、飲み放題が低価格で楽しめました！おつまみは提供されないので、ナッツなどを持込みました。

乗車前から酔っ払っていた50代くらいの日本人夫婦がうるさくて、マナーも悪く、同乗していたその家族の娘夫婦が、『お母さんうるさくて恥ずかしいから、他人のフリする』と言っていました。出来れば家族が注意して欲しかったです。

We loved the show it was amazing will do it again if we go to Maui. The food was amazing i ate a lot lol. Just need to get better looking girls and guys their aight but you guys can do a little better no offense

We enjoyed the Luau! The food was really good and the entertainment was excellent. I recommend the VIP ticket as it was really nice to have the waitress bring us our drinks. We also took a regally nice picture which provided a nice finishing touch.

With a variety of shows including hula dance, fire dance, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Presley, I thought this price was a great deal, especially with the large buffet included. You can also take photos as long as you don't use flash.

フラダンス、ファイアーダンス、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリーと盛りだくさんのショーに加えて、大ボリュームのビュッフェがついてこのお値段なら安いと思いました。また写真もフラッシュをたかなければ撮影出来ます。

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.

Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

Great dinner and show plenty to eat service was spectacular and show was awesome recommend it to others they start you off with cocktails and allow you to walk around the grounds also show you how the pig is roasted before the meal very informative

I was supposed to be picked up at the hotel, but since no car arrived at all, I called customer service. They said they left because they couldn't meet me at the designated spot. I was told to take a taxi, but I was informed that it was too late and asked if I could change the date instead. I was at a loss for words due to their attitude, especially since I was looking forward to the fireworks.

It's puzzling why we couldn't meet at the designated spot, which was just the hotel parking area and not that large. The hotel staff had also told me that it was fine to wait on this bench, so I wasn't late for the meeting time.

I was able to change the date and board the boat the next day. The scenery and the food were both very good.

ホテルにピックアップに来てくれるはずが、全然車が来ないのでカスタマーサービスに電話したら、待ち合わせ場所で会えなかったから行ってしまったとのこと。タクシーで来てください、あーでももう時間が間に合わないですね、日にち変更できますけど？と素っ気なく言われました。花火を楽しみにしていたのに、向こうの対応に言葉が出ませんでした。
待ち合わせ場所はホテルの駐車スペースでそんなに広い場所でもないのに、なぜ会えなかったのか不思議でたまりません。ホテルのスタッフにも、このベンチで待っていればいいよと言われたので、こちらが待ち合わせの時間に遅れたわけでもありません。
翌日に変更してもらって船に乗ることはできました。景色も料理もとてもよかったです。

I ended up lining up at the wrong meeting point for a different catamaran and was shocked when they told me just before boarding, "Your voucher is wrong! You're supposed to be at a different place!" I dashed barefoot across the sandy beach and just made it in time (laughs). The sunset was amazing, and there were few Japanese people on board, no children, so I was able to enjoy an adult atmosphere.

It was a bit nerve-wracking, but I definitely recommend the catamaran over the cruise!

違うカタマランの集合場所に並んでしまい、乗船ギリギリに「バウチャーが違う！私達が乗るのは違う場所だ！」と言われビックリしました。砂浜を裸足でダッシュして何とかセーフ(笑)夕日が素晴らしく、船内も日本人は少く、子供も居ず、大人の世界で楽しめました。
ハラハラしたけどクルーズより絶対にカタマランをオススメします！

This was our first time in Oahu and first time at a Luau. Highly recommend Toa
Luau. We arrived a few hours early since ticket includes admission to the Waimea Valley Gardens and Falls. Bring swimsuits and take a dip into the waterfalls at the end of the valley! We walked back to the Luau in time for the fun activities and 'pre-Luau' events includes crafts. We attended as a couple but this would be wonderful for families. The Luau then began with an amazing show complete with dancing and fire! Cousin Billy our host was entertaining and hospitable--the entire experience has a 'family' welcoming vibe. The food was good with a variety of choices. Because we were on our honeymoon Cousin Bill called up all the anniversaries/honeymoon couples for a special gift and blessing which was so special to us. We would definitely return this time with our family! Great job Toa Luau we'll be back!

The show was very enjoyable! The food was normally delicious, but the time to eat was short, and I ended up leaving a lot. It would have been nice to have a bit more space and time to enjoy the meal.

ショーはとても楽しめました^_^
ご飯は普通に美味しかったのですが、ご飯を食べる時間が短くてたくさん残してしまいました。もう少しゆったりしたスペースで時間をかけて食べれたら良かったかな。

I experienced sunset sailing for the first time this time! The staff were very friendly and had great energy. It seemed there was someone celebrating a birthday among the other guests, and we all sang Happy Birthday to celebrate! As sunset approached, we stopped the boat and waited for the sun to set while enjoying drinks. Watching the sunset over the ocean while feeling the Hawaiian breeze was truly wonderful and moving. I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii!

今回初めてサンセットセーリングを体験しました！
スタッフの方もとても親切でノリが良く、他のお客様の中に誕生日の方がいらっしゃったようで、みんなでハッピーバースデーを歌ってお祝いしました！
サンセットの時間が近づくと、船を停め、日が沈むのをお酒を飲みながら待ちました。ほろ酔いでハワイの風を感じながら海の上でみるサンセットはとても素敵で感動しました★
またハワイに訪れた際には参加したいです！

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

We boarded the boat from the beach and set off!! Be careful of the waves, or you might get wet up to your knees. Inside the boat, it's barefoot. Flip-flops are recommended!
Most of the participants were foreigners, and the crew was also foreign. They kept the atmosphere lively in English, so as someone who's not great at English, I just enjoyed the vibe!
As for drinks, my English was a bit shaky, so I kept ordering Mai Tais.
The fireworks lasted about 10 to 15 minutes! After that, we cruised the night sea. The neon lights of Waikiki were really beautiful!

浜辺からボートに乗り込み、出発！！波に注意して乗り込まないとヒザ上まで濡れるかも。ボートの中では裸足。ビーサンがおすすめ！
参加メンバーはほとんど外人で、クルーも外人さん。英語で盛り上げてくれるので、英語が苦手な私は雰囲気だけ味わいました！
ドリンクも、英語がビミョーなのでマイタイばかりおかわりしてました。
花火は10～15分くらいでした！あとは夜の海をクルーズ。ワイキキのネオンがとてもキレイでした！

We were the only Japanese family there. Everyone else was a foreigner, and since I couldn't speak English, I didn't understand what they were saying, but I just went along with the flow. Sitting near the net at the front of the boat, I got splashed with water, and it was fun.

日本人は私達家族だけでした。
みんな外国人で英語が出来ない私は何を言ってるか分からずでしたが、ノリでついていきました。
船の先のネット近くで座ってると水しぶきがかかって、楽しかったです。

I was really looking forward to my first sunset sailing, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, and I couldn't see the sunset painted in bright red. However, I was glad to catch a glimpse of the orange sun peeking through the clouds. I recommend wearing easy-to-remove shoes since your feet will get wet when boarding. On the boat, you are first served a Mai Tai, and after that, you can order various alcoholic drinks at your leisure. The staff were cheerful and very kind, and there was a performance, making for a fun time. There is no restroom on board, but it seems quite narrow; however, I think it's still manageable. I would definitely consider doing this again next time.

初めてのサンセットセ―リング、すごく楽しみにしていましたがお天気が悪かったため、真っ赤に染まる夕日は見ることが出来ませんでした。しかし、ほんの少し、雲の切れ間から太陽のオレンジ色を見ることが出来て良かったです。乗船するときに足が濡れるため、脱ぎやすい靴がいいと思います。船上では、最初にマイタイを配ってもらえますが、その後は好きなタイミングでいろんなアルコールをオーダーできます。スタッフの皆さんは陽気でとても優しく、パフォーマンスもあり楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
トイレは入っていませんが、かなり狭いようですが入れないことはないと思います。また、次回もお願いすると思います。

I had a very enjoyable day! The most impressive part was the guide! She was a woman with striking eye makeup and a muumuu! Throughout the bus ride, she entertained everyone with various stories about Hawaii, and at the sightseeing points, she made sure we saw everything! Every place we stopped at during the half-day tour was great. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we had a Japanese student guide who showed us around. It was very spacious and surprising! It was a beautiful place. We also enjoyed the show! A hat is definitely a must!

とても楽しい一日でした！一番印象的だったのは、ガイドさんでした！アイメークとムームーが印象的な女性です！
バスの中ではハワイのいろんな話を、観光ポイントではしっかり見せてくれるなど、終始みんなを楽しませてくれました！
半日観光で立ち寄った場所は、どこもよかったです。
ポリネシア カルチャー センターでも学生の日本人ガイドさんがついて案内してくれました。とても広くてビックリ！！キレイなトコでした。ショーも楽しめました！
帽子が必需品ですね！

If you're looking solely for entertainment, it might feel a bit lacking. However, as a show that expresses the history of the local culture and allows you to experience the traditions of the people of Hawaii, it was a relaxed and very pleasant time.

エンターテイメント性だけを求めている人だと、少し物足りないかもしれません。
でも、ハワイの人の分化に触れる、現地の方々による歴史を表現するショーとしては、ゆったりと、とても心地よい時間でした。
