All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I went by rental car.
If you take the shuttle bus, it costs an additional $30 per person.
The meals are served buffet style.
I was satisfied because I could eat a lot of vegetables, which are often lacking.
The meat dishes were all a bit bland, but I enjoyed them nonetheless.

Along the way, a staff member from Japan kindly spoke to us.
There was also a balloon art gift for small children during the meal.

The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding the language.
I was overwhelmed by the group dance performances.

Since it was my first time participating, I had various concerns, but I was very satisfied.

As a side note, I signed up for a plan with immediate reservation confirmation, but I felt a bit uneasy when the confirmation notice came four days later.

レンタカーで行きました。
シャトルバスだと１人30ドル別途掛かります。
食事はブッフェスタイルです。
不足しがちな野菜をたくさん食べられたので満足です。
お肉料理はどれも大味でしたが、それなりに美味しくいただきました。

途中で日本のスタッフが優しく声を掛けてくれました。
小さい子どもにはバルーンアートのプレゼントも食事中にありました。

肝心のショーは、言葉が分からなくても十分に楽しめます。
大人数で踊るダンスには圧倒されました。

初めての参加だったので色々不安はありましたがとても満足です。

補足として、即予約確定のプランに申し込みしましたが予約確定の連絡が４日後に来たことが少し不安に感じました。

We participated as a family! I was worried about seasickness, but I took some medicine and was totally fine, enjoying the cruise for about an hour and a half! We saw whales several times, which was exciting. I will definitely join again when I go to Hawaii!

家族で参加しました！
船酔いとかも心配だったけど薬飲んでたら全然平気で約1時間半ほどのクルーズを楽しめました！
クジラも何回も出てきてくれて盛り上がりました。
又ハワイに行くときはぜひ参加します！

This time the waves were high, so it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't go out far! But my friend, who was there for the first time, was happy and enjoyed it.

今回は波が高く あまり沖に出てもらえなかったのが少し残念‼︎でも初めての 友達は喜んで楽しんでました。

The show was amazing. Everyone in the venue was applauding enthusiastically. Some foreign guests gave a standing ovation. The food was mediocre, but the shrimp was delicious.

ショーは最高でした。会場全ての人が拍手喝采。一部の外国人はスタンディングオベーションでした。
食事はイマイチですが、シュリンプは美味しいですよ。

I had so much fun last year, so I'm participating again this year!
You can enjoy it as many times as you want!
This time, there were mostly Westerners, and the spontaneous singing of birthday songs and the lively atmosphere were so much fun that I ended up getting a bit tipsy.
It seems like this will become a tradition in Hawaii!

昨年とても楽しかったので、今年も参加！
何回でも楽しめます！
今回はほとんどが欧米人ばかりでいきなりのバースデーソング熱唱やノリが楽しくてついつい酔ってしまいました。
ハワイの恒例になりそうです！

It was cloudy in the morning, but we were able to see the sunset beautifully! On top of that, we got to see sea turtles and a mother whale with her calf. Thanks to the enthusiastic crew, we had a great time! However, the waves were high, and my pants got soaked while getting on and off the boat...

朝から曇り模様でしたが、サンセットはしっかり見れました！
おまけに、ウミガメ、クジラの親子まで見ることができ、盛り上げ上手のクルーさんのおかげで、とても楽しかったです！
ただ、波が高く、船への乗り降りでズボンがベチャベチャに…

Following last year's Sandbar, I had an activity on Oahu that was even more enjoyable than I expected.

Above all, being able to see Waikiki town, the beach, and Diamond Head from the ocean was a rare experience, and it was thrilling to see dolphins swimming alongside the boat up close.

The taste of the Mai Tai I drank while being blown by the sea breeze on the boat was exceptional, and the lively movements of the cheerful crew made for a pleasant time.

I would appreciate it if the check-in location were a bit easier to find.

昨年のサンドバーに続く、オアフ島でのアクティビティーで、思っていた以上に楽しかったです。
何よりも海からワイキキの町、ビーチ、そしてダイアモンドヘッドが見られたのは中々できない体験であり、船と並行してイルカが泳いでいるのを間近に見れたのも大興奮でした。
船の上で潮風に吹かれながら飲んだマイタイの味も格別で、陽気なクルー達のキビキビした動きも心地よく、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
願わくば、もう少し受付場所がわかり易いと有難いです。

It felt like I was watching an old Hawaiian tale, and I understood it very well. I thought it was just Hawaiian dance, but it actually had a proper story, and I really enjoyed it! (^o^)／

ハワイの昔ばなしを見ているかのようにとてもよくわかりました
ハワイアンダンスだけかと思ってたんですがちゃんとストーリーになっていてとても楽しめました(^o^)／

This was my 4th time here but 1st time for my girlfriend. Just as entertaining the 4th time as it was the first. Very educational and beautiful at the same time. My package included the Luau and that was good too. Not like the other ones I've been to but still was good. The evening show was excellent and very well performed. I highly recommend going to the Polynesian Culture Center to everyone who comes to Hawaii.

My family and I had so much fun on this cruise! I wish I could remember the staff's name because they were so nice! It was the Captain's birthday and the bartender was a tall blond. My daughter was on crutches at the time of the cruize and the bartender put her on her back and carried her all the way from the boat to the sidewalk where she could walk with crutches again. Truly a great experience. And the fireworks were amazing!

The sunset sailing was amazing! I was torn between a dinner cruise and the yacht sunset cruise, but the sunset cruise was the best! We felt the wind, enjoyed the sea, took photos with fellow guests, and it was a perfect conclusion to our trip with four families from work (nine people in total). The crew was friendly and even took photos with us. I definitely want to do it again!

サンセットセーリング、最高でした!
ディナー付きのクルージングと迷いましたが、ヨットのサンセットクルージング、最高でした!風を感じ、海を感じ、お客さん同士で写真を撮り、職場の仲間4家族（9名）での旅でしたが最高の締めくくりとなりました。
クルーの方もフレンドリーで一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
また乗りたいですね!

It was a family trip and we truly enjoyed ourselves. The singing and dancing was amazing! I recommend it to all who want to experience a luau. We will definitely go again.

The tour guaranteed front-row seats, so I was able to see everything up close and was extremely excited! Since the entire show was in English, those nearby who didn't understand English seemed to have a bit of trouble, but I think the content was relatively easy to understand. The dancers were all absolutely wonderful; the graceful hula of the wahine was beautiful, the men's dance was really cool, and the fire dance was truly exhilarating! There were also many comedic elements, so I believe it's a show that anyone can enjoy, even if they're not familiar with hula or Hawaiian culture. Time flew by, and I wanted to see more and more! I will definitely use this again!

中央前方席確約ツアーだったため、とても間近で観られて大興奮でした‼︎
全編英語でのMCだったので、お近くにいた英語が分からない方は少しご苦労されていたようですが、比較的理解しやすい内容だったと思います。
ダンサーの方々がみなさんとてもとても素敵で、ワヒネの優雅なフラはもちろん、カネのダンスはとってもカッコよく、ファイヤーダンスは本当に盛り上がりました‼︎
コメディな要素も多くあり、フラやハワイの文化に親しみがなくても、誰でも楽しめるショーだと思います。
時間があっという間に過ぎてしまい、もっともっと観たかったです‼︎
また利用します！

I was very satisfied with the authentic cuisine and dance. It was wonderful to watch the show while listening to the sound of the waves at the seaside venue.

本場の料理とダンスで大変満足しました。海辺の会場で波の音を聞きながら、ショーを見られたのはとても素敵でした。

There were fewer Japanese people, but that was nice in its own way. I really enjoyed the sunset sailing, feeling closer to the sea than on a dinner cruise. I was able to see dolphins up close, and I will definitely book again.

日本人は少なかったですがそれもまたよかった。ディナークルーズよりも海を近くに感じて本当にサンセットセーリングを楽しみました。
イルカもまじかで観れたしまた必ず予約します

It took quite a while to get there by bus, but the authentic dance was powerful and satisfying. It was a dance with a musical-style story, and it never got boring.

行くまではバスに乗って結構時間がかかりましたけど本場の
ダンスは迫力があり満足でした、ミュージカル調のストーリのある
ダンスですが空きませんでした。

This is one of the cruises where you can truly feel the light and wind of Hawaii. It's a catamaran, so it's extremely stable. Enjoy soaking in the light and wind of Hawaii with your whole body. The sunset is also incredibly beautiful. Don't forget your camera!

最もハワイの光と風を感じられるクルーズの一つです。
双胴船なので安定も抜群です。全身でハワイの光と風を浴びてください。
サンセットも最高に美しいです。カメラをお忘れなく！

Loved the show. Very talented performers will definitely recommend to friends

My daughter, who is now a middle school student, went on her first overseas trip to Hawaii. I wanted her to see a hula show and try kalua pork, so I signed up for this tour. It was also great that the venue was just a 2-3 minute walk from our hotel.

The buffet venue and the show venue were separate, so we had to move between them. The buffet was located in the garden space next to the 4th-floor corridor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, but it felt cramped with tables packed into a small area. There was a small hula show, which might have felt more intimate, but I think it would have been better to have a larger space or reduce the number of guests to about two-thirds for more comfort. The buffet style allowed us to fill our plates with kalua pork, roast beef, salads, and other favorites, which seemed to be enjoyable. The dessert sorbet was surprisingly sour, and both my daughter and I were taken aback by it.

As for the show venue, we were seated in the second-floor section, but it wasn't a very large venue, so we were really close to the stage and could see everything well.

中学生になる娘は初めての海外旅行、初めてのハワイでした。
フラショーを見せてあげたく、カルアポークも見て食べてみて欲しくて、このツアーに申込みました。
会場が宿泊していたホテルから徒歩２～３分だったのもよかったです。

ビュッフェの会場とショーの会場は別で移動が必要でした。
ビュッフェの会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階通路横のガーデンスペースですが、狭いスパースに詰め込んだ感満載のテーブル席でした。ちょっとしたフラショーがあり、身近に感じられてよいのかもしれませんが、もう少し広いところでするか、客数を三分の二くらいにしてゆとりがあった方がよいと思います。
ビュッフェスタイルでカルアポークやローストビーフ、サラダなど、好きなものを好きなだけお皿に入れるのも楽しかったようです。デザートのシャーベットは見た目よりすっぱくて娘と二人でびっくりしました。

ショーの会場は私たちは２階席でしたが、そんなに広い会場ではなかったのでステージまですごく近くてよく見ることができました。

It was good but wasn’t much to do other then go from Hut to Hut and a lot of them were full and did not get to see.

This was our second time attending this luau and it was wonderful again !! The food is delicious, the entertainment is awesome and the venue is beautiful. We highly recommend this if you are looking for a true luau experience !!

I decided to participate in the sailing instead of the dinner cruise because it had a higher review score and also goes out to Diamond Head. Choosing this sailing was definitely the right decision.

There was only one other Japanese group besides me. The rest were foreigners, and everyone was really lively. People of various ages were on board.

It was slightly cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to fully enjoy the process of the evening setting in and the night view becoming more prominent. It was romantic, and I savored the beautiful scenery.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and after toasting with Mai Tai, there were various options like pineapple beer (which wasn't sold at ABC Store), sparkling wine, and wine.

Since the weather wasn't great, there were times when the boat rocked like an attraction. It was fun, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to go on a nice day.

I enjoyed the sea breeze, the twilight, and the night view, and had a wonderful time. I would love to go again! I absolutely recommend it!

ディナー・クルージングよりも、セーリングの方がレビュー点数が高いのと、さらにダイアモンドヘッド沖まで行くのでこれに参加する事に決めました。このセーリングにして、大正解でした。

日本人は私以外は一組だけ。外国人ばかりでノリノリです。幅広い年齢の方が乗船していました。

薄曇りだったので、日没は見る事ができませんでしたが、夕暮れて行き、夜景が際立っていく過程を充分に見る事ができました。ロマンチックで、美しい景色を堪能しました。

ドリンクは、飲み放題でマイタイで乾杯の後、パイナップル・ビール（ABCストアでも売っていませんでした）、スパークリングワイン、ワイン等、様々ありました。

天気が良くなかったので、アトラクションの様に船が揺れた時もありました。面白かったけれど、船酔いし易い方は、天気の良い日に乗船なさった方が良いかも知れません。

海風と夕暮れと夜景を味わい、すてきな時間を過ごせました。また乗船したいです！　絶対にお勧めです！

Since I participated on Friday, I watched the fireworks from the Hilton instead of enjoying the sunset. The crew members were very fun, but there were free Mai Tai cocktails being served, and the boat was quite crowded and chaotic. On the day of the event, there was an announcement that the sea was relatively calm, but there were people who got sick from the alcohol and seasickness, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

金曜日参加だったので、サンセット鑑賞ではなくヒルトンの花火を船上から観ました。
クルーさんがとても楽しい方でしたが、フリーのマイタイカクテルが振舞われるのと船内が人いっぱいでカオス状態でもありました(^^;;
参加日当日は、割と海が静かだというアナウンスはありましたが、お酒と船酔いで吐いていた人もいるので、乗り物酔いをされる方は、酔い止めを服用されることをオススメします。

We all had a great time. My kids mentioned that it was a good ending to our trip with food and activities.

Unfortunately the weather gods were not on our side and we had high winds and very rough ocean.

However the boys who run this trip make it fun for everyone - the unlimited bar is just an added bonus.

Even though we didn't see the sunset due to weather I can imagine what it would be like on a perfect Hawaiian day.

We will definately go again on our next trip.

Never ending tropical drinks, shopping pre-show, great dinner buffet and really nice show! What more can you ask for? The area is covered as well in case it rains. This was a fun evening! The show production is top notch. They fit a lot of people into the building but to their credit, it doesn’t feel like it. Don’t let them trick you into thinking the poi is good though! ;)

Fantastic experience.
Plenty to do and see during the whole day.
Enjoyed the shows in each country.

The boat and crew are awesome! Highly recommend! Me and my girlfriend and roommate have a blast. All you can drink and it’s all inclusive. I lived in Hawaii for 18 years and every time I go back to visit I try and go on a booze Cruze.

the show was great and the sunset right off the beach was incredible. the food was delicious and we all had a wonderful time.

I participated in a honeymoon trip. If you're staying at Outrigger Reef, the meeting place is close and I recommend it. The sailing time was quite long, and I really enjoyed the cruise.

It was great to see the diamond head clearly. Since it was March, the wind was stronger than expected, and it got quite cold in the second half. Since you'll be taking off your shoes, I think it's better for those who get cold easily to dress warmly.

There was a wide range of participants, from young to old. Most were Westerners. There were various cocktails and alcohol available, making it a very enjoyable cruise.

新婚旅行で参加しました。アウトリガーリーフに滞在の方は集合場所が近くてオススメです。航海時間も結構あり、クルーズを満喫できました。
ダイアモンドベッドがしっかり見れてよかったです。3月でしたからか予想以上に風が強く後半はかなり寒かったです。くつも脱ぎますので、寒がりの方は着込んだ方がいいと思います。
老若男女という感じで幅広い方が参加されてました。ほぼ欧米人でしたが。
カクテルなどアルコールも色々あってとても楽しいクルーズでした。
