All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

They were in contact with us the entire time. Their communication was spectacular! They were there before we got there, waiting with the sign and made it extra special to start off our anniversary trip!

It was a concentrated tour that allowed us to enjoy pineapples and various sightseeing spots in Hawaii. I signed up for the tour because I wanted to visit the Dole fields and factory, and I felt it was at a satisfying level, providing even more experiences than I expected.

From our hotel in Waikiki, we took a car, and the guide, who was alone, had an incredible amount of knowledge about the various famous spots in Hawaii along the way, including the Dole fields and factory.

It seems that Dole is a different company from the Dole Plantation, which is a tourist attraction across the street. I mistakenly thought that if we went to the Dole Plantation ourselves, we could have the same factory tour. Since we wouldn't have been able to visit the fields and factory without signing up for this tour, I believe it was a valuable experience. (After the factory tour, we had a little time to visit the Dole Plantation, where we could also buy souvenirs.)

At the fields, we were able to see the harvesting and had fresh pineapples cut right there. After the factory tour, we enjoyed cold cut pineapples and straight pineapple juice produced at the factory, which made me very happy. (They also offer coffee and chocolate tastings, and there are some small souvenirs for sale.)

After that, we went to Haleiwa for some free time, and later at the macadamia nut souvenir shop, we could taste many samples and buy souvenirs. Additionally, we visited two coffee shops where we had restroom breaks and could taste a lot of coffee.

On the way back, we took photos of King Kamehameha and, even from the car, we could see Hawaii's Izumo Taisha, Chinatown, and wall art while listening to the guide share a lot about Hawaii's history, which was educational.

I think it was a very fulfilling day.

パイナップルづくしと各所のハワイ観光ができて濃縮したツアーでした。
ドールの畑や工場見学がしたくて、申し込んだツアーでしたが、満足できるレベルでしたし、それ以上の体験ができたと感じています。

ワイキキのホテルから車に乗って、道中の所々のハワイの名所からドールの畑や工場の案内まで、お一人でされていたガイドさんの知識量は凄かったです。

ドールは畑・工場と、向かい側にある観光名所のドールプランテーションとは違う会社のようで、自分たちでドールプランテーションに行けば同じ工場見学ができると勘違いしていました。今回のツアーに申し込まないと畑と工場の見学はできないので、貴重な体験だったと思います。（工場見学後にドールプランテーションにも少し行く時間があったので、そちらのお土産も買うことができました。）

畑では収穫の見学時に畑のパイナップルをその場でカットしていただけて、工場見学後も冷たいカットパインと工場で製造しているストレートのパイナップルジュースをいただけてパイナップルづくしで幸せでした。（コーヒーやチョコレートの試食、ちょっとしたお土産も売っています。）

その後、ハレイワに行って自由行動と、その後、マカダミアナッツのお土産屋さんではたくさん試食ができてお土産も買えました。
その他にも二か所コーヒーショップに行けてトイレ休憩もコーヒーの試飲がたくさんできました。

帰りはカメハメハ大王の写真を撮ったり、車中からでも、ハワイの出雲大社、チャイナタウン、ウォールアートを見ながら帰れましたし、ガイドさんのハワイの歴史をたくさん聞きながら勉強にもなりました。

とても、充実した1日になったと思います。

I enjoyed the powerful performance from the middle of the fourth row. I was worried about what kind of seat I would have, but they quickly prepared a good seat for me, and I’m very glad I asked.

前から４列目の真ん中で、迫力の舞台を楽しみました。
どんな席で見るのか不安でしたが、すぐに良い席を用意して下さって、お願いしてとても良かったと思います。

Pros: pig roast being done onsite, got to witness uncovering and presentation of the pig. (my son hated this portion!). menu and performances were both great! I liked different island nations being represented in music and dance and a little bit of story telling/history to tie it together. performance was good length and sunset was gorgeous! desserts and beverages were also delicious.

Cons: attempted to check in entire luau at one time slot. made for a lot of time waisted waiting in hotel lobby check in line. check in inside and then second check in outside felt redundant. we arrived at 5:22, email confirmation had suggested 5:30 check in, but spent several (20+ minutes) waiting to check in. by the time we arrived in luau area, we missed the 'activities' portion of the luau. we also missed the royal entrance of the luau show. we did however have great seats so first-come-first-seated wasn't an issue.

brief meet and greet with performers after the show felt rushed -- they were spread along exit sidewalk and available for a quick picture but were ushering us along immediately, without any chit chat -- which is a huge difference compared to other luaus.

professional photography of your party was an additional $25 for digital download. fresh lei's were an additional $10 each, which in my opinion were reasonably priced but I've had digital photography and leis included at other similarly-priced luaus.

having dined at this marriott the night before and spoken to several guests in the week it seems this particular marriott has become quite overpriced for the level of service and age of property it's become. it has an outstanding location, but is overpriced for the level of service or hospitality i've experienced at other similarly priced marriotts in the islands. pool and restaurants were crowded and bonvoy perks were lacking/zero. kids meals were reasonable, but got charged $10 each for kids scoop of vanilla icecream.

The grounds are always fun to walk around and see, lots of nice photos areas to take with family members or loved ones. The Smith family is very welcoming and inviting. They give you lots of background information about the traditional ways of life. The food is all so delicious 😋. Always enjoy going there and would go back for sure. Thank you so very much ❤️.

It was smaller than other Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen, but it was great and full of Hawaiian charm. The song selection, especially from Hawaii Five-0, was excellent.

今まで見たシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユよりはこじんまりしていたが、ハワイらしさ満開で良かった。特にハワイ5Oの選曲は良かった。

It was my second cruise in 10 years. This time, the waves were a bit high, and depending on where you sat, you could get wet, but it felt like an attraction and was fun. I was also able to see a beautiful sunset. I would like to use this service again when I visit Oahu.

10年ぶり2回目のクルーズでした。
今回は少し波が高くて座る場所によっては濡れましたがアトラクションのようで楽しかったです。
美しいサンセットも見ることが出来ました。また、オアフを訪れたら利用したいです。

I have never seen anything like it before, and it was impressive! The performance was so intense that I wondered how much training they must have gone through. I want to see it again next time! ^_^

今まで見た事なく、迫力がありました！どれだけ鍛えてるかと思うほどの演技です。また次回も見たいです^_^

I always make it a point to see Cirque du Soleil when they perform in Tokyo, so I definitely wanted to see them in Hawaii as well. They used costumes and props from Hawaii, which added to the atmosphere.

There was a segment where a few audience members were picked to mimic dances and have fun, and this time was also very enjoyable.

The theater was small, but it was almost full. We had seats right in the middle, in the front row. There were five of us, and everyone had a great time.

I might be imagining it, but was the performance a bit shorter this time? I felt like it ended in about an hour and a half without any breaks.

I was satisfied.

シルクドソレイユが東京公演をする時は必ずみに行っていますので、ハワイでも是非とも思い見に行きました。ハワイの衣装や道具を使っていて雰囲気も楽しめました。

いつもの観客を数名ピックアップして踊りなどを真似させて楽しむ幕間？がありますが、今回もとても楽しかったです。

劇場は狭かったですが、ほぼ満員でした。真ん前の真ん中辺の席でした。5名で参加しましたが、皆楽しめました。

気のせいかも知れませんが公演時間はちょっと短いんですかね？途中休憩もなく、1時間半くらいで終わった様に思いました。

満足です。

Starting with Hawaiian music and dance from the 1920s, and moving through the historic concerts in Hawaii featuring Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, and Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s, you can enjoy a performance filled with song and dance. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in promotional photos, as they are likely double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.

1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。

The bus arrived 15 minutes before the meeting time, so I was relieved to recognize it right away. While looking for various activities during my free time, I found an event that piqued my interest and made a reservation. Since it was a new service, I boarded with excitement. The female staff member greeted us cheerfully in Japanese and explained the equipment very thoroughly. The device can be adjusted to fit each individual, allowing for a personalized setup. Once the video started, multiple power stones appeared. By using my palms to grab them, I could hear various explanations about Hawaii's history.

As a tip for grabbing, I was able to catch several by quickly and firmly grabbing them. My husband mentioned that it was difficult to react with long sleeves, so it might be better to roll them up. While listening to various scenery and explanations in the video, we quickly reached the final stop. The staff were very cheerful, and I was grateful that they took photos for us after getting off the bus.

集合時間の15分前にはバスも到着しており、このペイントなので直ぐにわかり安心しました。
スキマ時間に色々探していた所、未体験で興味を持ったイベントを見つけて予約しました。まだ新しいサービスとの事でワクワクしながら乗車　スタッフの女性は日本語で明るく接して頂き、装置説明もとても丁寧に教えていただきました。頭に装置をセットし個々に合わせてサイズ調整も可能な為、自分サイズでセット出来ます。映像が流れだすとパワーストーンがいくつも現れます。自分の手のひらを使ってグッとつかみゲットするとハワイの歴史や色々な説明を聞く事ができます。
つかみ方のコツとして私は素早くグッとつかむ感じでいくつもゲット出来ました。主人は服の袖口が長いと反応しづらいと言ってたので袖口はまくってた方が良いかもしれません。映像で色々な景色や解説を聞きながらアッと言う間に終点。
スタッフの方がとても朗らかでバス降車後に写真も撮って頂きありがたかったです。

We had an amazing time at the Luau! The atmosphere, food, staff and entertainment were amazing. I highly recommend you throw on your favorite Hawaiian dress and attend this Luau!

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

The show was just fabulous with such talented dancers, drummers, and a fire knife performer!

Old Lahaina Luau lives up to its reputation - beautiful oceanfront sunset views on top of delicious cuisine, and a fabulous show!

VIP treatment was so worth it with excellent seating close to the stage and personalized services!

The food was delicious and the Polynesian show was lively and captivating, perfect for while I was staying inside the Sheraton!

Dinner was delicious with a good variety of Hawaiian favorite dishes. We had rear seating, but still had a clear view of the stage and all the action!

The performers at Mauka were truly amazing—especially the thrilling fire knife finale!!

The buffet had a decent selection with carved roast beef, chicken, and sides. It’s not a luxury gourmet meal, but for the price it was solid and filling.

The fireworks we paid for were only 4 minutes long. The food was alright. The staff was friendly.

Great experience! Our bartender was Cole and he was great! We saw a proposal and had some awesome drinks

"AUANA" can only be described as wonderful! I couldn't take my eyes off the performances, with no time to catch my breath between each stage. I stay in Honolulu for about ten days once a year, and I definitely want to participate again next year.

「AUANA」素晴らしの一言に尽きます‼
各ステージごとのperformanceに息つく暇も無く目が離せませんでした。
年に一度10日間位Honoluluに滞在しますが、来年も是非参加してみたいと思います。

Excellent service, beautiful grounds, interesting authentic Hawaiian foods, great show with historical stories. Drinks delicious too! Good vegetarian options.

Of course you can’t predict rain in Hawaii but you can have spots to seek cover. The event did pass out rain plastic but only once at the beginning and we did not get any.

Once the rain passed there was no attempt to wipe chairs so even if the rain stopped you were still soaked.

The hurried the show to see a quick fire dancer set but that was not that good.

Even without the rain you couldn’t see. The tables in rows made it difficult. The food was ok. The drinks didn’t not taste like any alcohol was in them just super sweet drinks. Overall I was not happy with the event.

I had experienced Rock Aloha once before the pandemic, but I wanted to experience it again, so I participated. Even the second time, I had a great time. Both Elvis and Michael Jackson were a lot of fun, and the Hawaiian atmosphere was really nice. I plan to come back to see it again.

ロックアフラは、コロナ前に一度体験済みでしたが、今一度体感したく、参加しました。二度目でも、大変楽しく参加出来ました。プレスリーもマイケルジャクソンもとても楽しかったし、ハワイアンの雰囲気もとても良かったです。また見に来ようと思っております。

It was unexpected like a circus.
There was a story, spectacular performances, and it was truly moving throughout.
The only disappointment was that there were no brochures or videos for sale.

サーカスと思わぬこと。
ストーリーがあり、スペクタクルな演技、感動のしっぱなしでした。
パンフレットや映像の販売がされていなかったのだけがちょっと残念でした。

The fusion of Hawaiian culture and acrobatics.
That's absolutely true.
Everyone, please make sure to see it.
It's moving.
You can see well even from the back seats.

ハワイ文化とアクロバットの融合。
ほんとにその通りです。
是非皆さん、観てください。
感動します。
席は後ろでもよく見えます。

I bought a VIP seat and was in the front row, but honestly, sitting in the middle might be better. The show was powerful and really great.

VIP席を買って一番列でしたが、正直中間ぐらいのほうがよいかもです。ショーは迫力がありめっちゃよかったです。

Loved visiting each village and getting to learn about the unique traditions they hold! Fabulous put on.
