All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

It was my first time watching a proper hula dance show, and the performance was wonderful and very enjoyable. Before the show, I was entertained by the performance of a whole roasted pig for the buffet, and Kamehameha the Great made an appearance on a raft, along with traditional games to enjoy.

However, I believe the plan included photography, but they asked for $20, so I ended up not purchasing it. I was also disappointed that the lei was not made of flowers.

きちんとしたフラダンスショーを見るのは初めてでしたが、踊りも素晴らしくてとても良かったです。ショーの前にはバイキングに出る豚の丸焼きのパフォーマンスや、カメハメハ大王がいかだに乗って登場したり、伝統的な遊びをしたりと楽しめました。
ただ、プランの中に写真撮影も含まれていたはずですが、お金を要求されて20ドルもしたので結局買いませんでした。レイも花ではなくて残念でした。

The sunset was great, the crew was great, and the Mai Tai was great! It was a tour that had all the right elements. I didn't get seasick on the boat, but I did get tipsy from the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai (laughs). It was really delicious Mai Tai. Cheers!!

サンセットよし、乗組員よし、マイタイよし！
三拍子そろったグッドなツアーでした。
船に酔うことはなかったけれど、飲み放題の
マイタイに酔ってしまいました（笑）。
ほんとに美味しいマイタイでした。乾杯!!

The price was a bit high, but I decided to go for the "Green Room" tour. Whether it was worth the price is debatable, but it was a valuable experience to be guided and explained by a friendly manager through the backstage, which I would never normally get to see. Plus, I got to watch the show from a good seat, and since it's something you rarely get to do, I felt it was worth it for me. The show itself was quite impressive, and I think the structure was well done. I really enjoyed it. The food was also quite tasty.

ちょっと値段が高かったですが、思い切って「グリーンルーム」ツアーに申し込みました。価格ほどの価値があったかどうかは微妙でしたが、普段は絶対にのぞき見ることのないステージ裏を、フレンドリーなマネジャーが丁寧に案内、説明してくれるのは貴重な体験でしたし、良い席でショーも観られるし、滅多に出来ないことなので、私にとっては行って良かったです。ショー自体は、なかなか迫力も有り、また構成もよくできていると思います。とても楽しめました。お料理もまま美味しかったですよ。

I was able to see a beautiful sunset.
It gets chilly when the sun goes down, and you might get wet, so a jacket and towel are essential.
When riding on the yacht, it's best to go barefoot, so I recommend wearing sandals.

きれいなサンセットが見られました。
日が沈むと肌寒くなるのと、濡れたりするので上着とタオル必須です。
ヨットに乗るとき裸足になるので、ビーにサンダルがおすすめです。

We bisited the Polynesin Cultural Centre in October and this was definitely the highlight of our 2 weeks in Hawaii.
The various villages and displays give a real insight into each country.The staff and students really make everyone feel welcome.
The centre was easy to get around and spotlessly clean.The paradeof canoes was one of the highlights of the day.
The best by far was the show,Ha,Breath of Life.
I highly recommend making this a must do on any visit to Hawaii.

Loved attending this with my family and friends. Have already recommended it to other people!

Great dinner nice show and fireworks. Worth it. And they held the ship because so many delayed because of trumps visit and traffic jam

I originally had low expectations, but the food was disappointing even for a deluxe option. The crab was extremely salty, and there were few varieties, with nothing particularly delicious. The show, however, was impressive. It was wonderful.

もともと期待してなかったのですが、デラックスでもイマイチな料理でした。
カニはとにかく塩辛く、その他も種類が少ないし、これといって、美味しいものもありませんでした。
ショーは、見ごたえがありました。素晴らしかったです。

On the way there, we had a Japanese guide. She was quite elderly, and while I want to commend her spirit of service, the content of her conversation was all over the place—talking about cancer treatment, her grandchild, how tough the meat is at the culture center, children dying on the farm, Alzheimer's prevention, young people, and life in general... it was like a grandma's gossip session. It seemed she hit it off with some guests in the front row of her generation, and she chatted with them through the microphone for a continuous 90 minutes, making it hard for me to sleep and quite exhausting.

We arrived at the center around 5:30 PM, hoping to catch some events in the village, but the grandma guide took her time explaining the souvenirs, which wasted unnecessary time, and by the time we got to the events, they were all over, which was disappointing. I recommend picking up your tickets and then ignoring the guide to head into the park.

Good points:
- The show was well done. However, I was satisfied after seeing it once.
- The prime rib and crab were delicious.
- After the show, several performers came outside and were happy to take photos.

Bad points:
- The guide on the way there.
- The number of dishes for dinner wasn't that many.
- The ice cream location was hard to find; it's next to the entrance.
- Since I upgraded to deluxe, I expected good seats, but they were at quite an angle from the front.
- The return bus was hot.

Points to note:
- Upon arrival at the center, the guide will collect everyone's tickets. The tickets have names on them, and seats are assigned. They also indicate the dinner time and menu, show time, and details about the crab gift during dinner. Once you receive your tickets, you won't need the guide anymore. You can explore the park or head to the dinner venue.
- The return bus is different from the one we took to get there. After the show, many buses will be lined up where we parked the bus on the way there. The guide will tell you which bus number to take back, so make sure to take notes. Also, the driver does not speak Japanese, and there won't be a guide on the way back. You won't hear someone say, "We've arrived, Mr./Ms. ○○," so be careful not to miss your stop (this applies to other tours as well).

行きの車には日本人ガイドがついていました。かなりご高齢の女性で、彼女のサービス精神は評価したいのですが、話の内容は、癌の治療が～、うちの孫が～、カルチャーセンターの肉は硬くて～、そこの農場では子供が死んで～、アルツハイマーの予防が～、若い人は～、人生は～...と完全におばあちゃんの井戸端会議。最前列の同世代のお客さんとは気が合ったようで、お客さんとのおしゃべりを車内全員にマイクを通して延々90分。眠ろうにも眠れず疲れました。
17:30頃センターについたので村内でのイベントを見れるかと思いましたが、おばあちゃんガイドがのろのろとお土産屋の珊瑚の解説をするなど余計な時間がかかり、結局イベントは全て終わってしまい残念でした。チケットを受け取ったら、ガイドは無視して園内へ行くのをおすすめします。

良かった点
・ショーはよくできていました。でも1度観れば満足です。
・プライムリブ、カニは美味しかったです
・ショーのあとに演者数名が外に出ていて、写真撮影に快く応じてくれます

悪かった点
・行きの車のガイド
・夕飯の品数はそんなに多くない
・アイスの場所は分かりにくい。入口の脇にあります。
・デラックスにしたので良い席を期待しましたが、結構正面から角度がありました
・帰りの車が暑かった

注意点
・センターに到着すると、ガイドが全員のチケットを受け取りに行きます。チケットには名前が書いてあり、座席も指定されています。チケットには夕食の時間と内容、ショーの時間、夕食でのカニプレゼントについても書いてあります。受け取ったらもうガイドに用はありません。園内を回るなり、夕食会場へ行きましょう
・帰りの車は行きの車とは別です。ショーが終わると、行きの車を止めたところにたくさんのバスが並びます。帰りに何番の車に乗ればよいか、行きのガイドが教えてくれますのでしっかりメモしましょう。尚、運転手は日本語話しません。帰りはガイドもいません。○○さん着きましたよーなんて言われないので、ぼやぼやしてると降りそびれます、気をつけましょう(他のツアーもそうですが)。

I arrived in Hawaii on Friday, so I participated to see the fireworks. Most of the attendees were foreigners, but there was music playing and the atmosphere was great!!

They also served non-alcoholic pineapple juice, which was nice!

I got to see the fireworks, and it became a wonderful memory (*^ω^*)

金曜にハワイに到着したので、花火をみるために参加しました。ほとんどが外国の方でしたが、音楽もかかって雰囲気もよかったです！！

お酒が入っていないパイナップルジュースも出してくれて、よかったです！

花火もみれて、いい思い出になりました(*^ω^*)

It is so worth paying to have them pick you up and our driver was both informative and funny. I would pass on the train ride. Too many kids were in our car and we couldn't hear the tour. Or get closer to the conductor. The food was plentiful and many buffets were available. The drinks for Muai Tais or Blue Hawaiians were all inclusive and if you like to drink, there was no maximum. The show was the spotlight of this Luau. The pictures are just a brief image or example of the spectacular event that draws you into the history of Hawaii.

The Viking plan has incredibly attentive staff! The number of dishes is a bit limited, but the friendly staff makes it all fine! You can enjoy the show even if you don't know the songs! I'm glad I participated in the show. Even without food, the seating is the same unless you're in a VIP seat, so I think you can be satisfied just with the show.

バイキングのプランですがスタッフの気づかいがもの凄く良い！料理は数も少な目ですがフレンドリーなスタッフで問題なし！
ショーは曲を知らなくても楽しめます！参加してよかったって思えるショーでした。
料理なくても座る席はVIP席じゃない限り一緒なのでショーだけでも満足できると思います。

We loved the whole thing! Only thing we would change is maybe including a printout of all the menu items with further detail such as ingredients and/or how the tradition cake about in ancient Hawaiian culture.

Rockahula great show Elvis was amazing. Michael Jackson was fabulous. Katie Perry sounded like her. Your dancers were fantastic. Two were noticeable and made you want to dance. The two who did surfer girl song. Both of these dancers had high energy throughout show. She was a red head and he had a man bun. Fire dancer was awesome and put on unbelievable show. He danced like he enjoyed what he did. We were so close we could smell the gas Costumes were beautiful. The last show was amazing in the red and black with Elvis in his white suit. When Elvis came out the first time it was like looking at Elvis from the 60's and he did such a great job. Elvis sang the best songs and the guests and audience were thrilled when he came out and interacted with the guests. All performers interacted with the guests at some point. We had front row seats but there is not a bad seat in the place. Service was good. Lots of food , presentation was nice. Food was good, the salmon was a little too salty, steak was cooked to perfection. Evan our server was great , and very attentaive. Staff was attentive. We met Anthony the bartender at the end of the show continuex to offer us drinks and iffered great service. Can't say a bad word about the terrific service, we received the best service from all the staff. Performers met guests at the end and took pictures with many if us and chatted with us. Great overall experience.

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Very willing to take photos of you and provide information.

The best and funny emotional altogether...loved the show all of us did. Food was great missed this type since we came here...couldn't get enough would have exploded....lol....will come back again....first time here and looking forward to our next return.
Thank you a great evening money well spent.

There were three groups of Japanese participants, and about 30 foreigners. The explanations before departure and on the boat were all in English, so I was a bit anxious and didn't understand well. However, the captain and guide spoke fluent Japanese. After explaining to the foreigners, he kindly provided various explanations to the Japanese guests, mixed with jokes. The fireworks were beautiful. The best spot is at the back of the boat. The food was also delicious.

日本人3組参加でした。他は外人30人位。出発前と、船の中の説明は、すべて英語だったので、良く分からなく、不安でしたが、なんと、船長兼ガイドが日本語ペラペラで、外人に説明後、丁寧に、日本人だけに、ジョーク交じりに、色々説明してくれました。花火綺麗です。ベスポジは船後部です。食事も美味しいです。

子供たちと楽しい時間を過ごしました。ワイキキからホノルルを見渡す素晴らしいダイヤモンドヘッドの景色と共に、心地よい貿易風を楽しみました。クルージングは最高です！おすすめです。

had fun with my kids. enjoyed lovely nice trade wind with fantastic view of daiamond head through waikiki over honolulu.
good cruising!! recommended.

The two people on the sailing Mai Tai, the girls who saw us off, and the women from the returning photo team were all amazing! The content, service, and cost performance were very satisfying! Everyone around us had big smiles of satisfaction. Thank you for a wonderful time!

セイリングのマイタイ 号の中の2人も、見送りの女の子たちも、帰りの写真隊の女性たちも、みんな最高です！とっても満足できる内容とサービス・コスパでした！
周りの人たちも大満足の笑顔でした。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました！

I brought my friends, a couple visiting Hawaii for the first time, to this show, which I thought would be a great choice among many options. I've seen it several times, and every time I am moved by the dynamic performances. My friends were also very pleased. As a side note, on the shuttle bus back, we were the only Japanese people, but the driver kept talking in English non-stop and was quite cheerful, making jokes. It would have been fun if we could understand the content.

初めてハワイを訪れた友達夫婦を伴い、数あるショーの中でもまずここが良いと思いお連れしました。私は何度か見ていますが、何度見てもダイナミックな演出で感動します。
お友達にもとても喜ばれました。余談ですが、帰りのシャトルバスは日本人は私達だけだったのですが、運転手の方が英語でず～としゃべりっぱなし、ジョークをとばして陽気な方でしたが
内容が解ると楽しかったでしょうね。

I was fed up with the two Japanese girls who were having too much fun. They were walking around the ship, drinking heavily and making a scene. They didn't consider the inconvenience they were causing to others, and they ruined the beautiful sunset.

日本の女の子二人連れのはしゃぎぶりに辟易。酒をがぶがぶ飲みながら船内を歩き回って大はしゃぎ。他人の迷惑を考えず、せっかくの夕日も台無しでした。

The whole trip to the Polynesian Center was a great experience and it’s worth what includes. It’s a most to see every time you visit Hawaii.

I participated in this when I went to Hawaii before. I want to see that sunset again!! This is my second time in Hawaii. The catamaran allows you to feel the ocean more. It's more wonderful than a luxury boat. We sailed for a long time, and there was unlimited Mai Tai and Budweiser. There was also wine. My daughter had pineapple juice. If I go again, I will definitely use this service! 😊

以前、ハワイに行った時も参加しました。また、あのサンセットをみたい！！と二度目のハワイ。カタマラン号は海をより感じられます。豪華船よりステキ。長い時間航海し、マイタイもバドワイザーも飲み放題。ワインもありました。娘はパイナップルジュース。また行ったら、きっと利用すると思います(^^♪

I carefully selected this tour for my one-week trip to Hawaii. I participated with my children, aged 6, 9, and 12. There were quite a few moments of turbulence, and my middle child felt a bit seasick, but we enjoyed the views of Diamond Head from the opposite side of Waikiki Beach and the sunset over Waikiki. The Mai Tai was delicious, and we had the best time. I believe this tour will definitely satisfy you!

1週間のハワイ旅行のツアー参加は吟味してこれだけに絞りました。6歳、9歳、12歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。結構揺れる場面もあり、真ん中の子は少し船酔いしましたが、ワイキキビーチより反対側からのダイヤモンドヘッドや海から見るサンセットに染まるワイキキの景色など堪能でき、マイタイも美味しく最高の時間を過ごせました。必ず満足できるツアーだと思います！

What a great night
A family run show and grounds
Well done
Really enjoyed the show and wowzers the meal
Outstanding
Gonna have to bump up my exercise program
This month
Mahalo
To many more

With music, drinks, and beautiful scenery, I was able to take the best photos of this trip. Everyone was relaxed thanks to the drinks, so we all got along well (laughs). At first, I was really flustered because I couldn't find the meeting spot, but it's near the catamaran sign, so you don't have to worry like I did (laughs). The ending time wasn't too late either, so it was nice that I could walk back to the hotel alone safely. I heard that sometimes it can be canceled due to strong winds or bad weather, but I definitely want to come back with friends next time.

音楽とお酒と綺麗な景色で、今回の旅行の中で一番良い写真が撮れました。
みんなお酒入ってるので、良い感じに打ち解けてくれます(笑)
最初待ち合わせ場所がわからなくてとても焦りましたが、カタマランの看板の近くです、私みたいに焦らなくても大丈夫(笑)
終わる時間もそこまで遅くないので、ホテルまで1人で歩いても大丈夫な時間帯で良かったです。
強風や悪天候で中止になることもあるそうですが、私はまた次回友人と来たいなと思えました。

The show was beautiful, the food was incredible, and my only suggestion would be to add more activity or interaciton with the culture. The show at the Polynesian Cultural Center provides a tour through replicas of old villages and different polynesian islands. Very cool.

I had a great time with the plantation owners package. Dinner at Gaylords was fantastic and the scenery was amazing. The show was breathtaking and entertaining

The half-day tour of Oahu included visits to Kailua, the North Shore, the Moanalua Gardens (the tree of life), and the Dole Plantation, which felt repetitive and led to a poor choice. The Polynesian Cultural Center was great as it offered an efficient tour led by Japanese students. The night show was impressive, especially the final fire dance, but the guide repeatedly emphasized the return bus time, causing several people to leave for the restroom before it ended. Since the departure wouldn't happen until everyone was present, I wished they had explained that we could enjoy the show without worrying about the restroom. Additionally, I had booked a deluxe seat in the front, but for some reason, I ended up in a seat at the back, so I rated my experience as unsatisfactory.

オアフ島の半日観光はカイルア、ノースショア観光とモアルナガーデン（この木なんの木）、ドールプランテーションの見学がダブってしまい選択ミスをしてしまいました。
ポリネシア文化センターは日本人学生によるセンター内の見学ツアーで効率的にまわれてよかったです。ナイトショーは最後のファイアーダンスは迫力があり良かったのですが、ガイドさんが帰りのバスの時間を何度も念を押すので、最後まで見ないでトイレに行く人が何人もいました。
全員揃うまで出発はしないのだから、トイレを気にすることなく最後まで見るよう説明して欲しかったです。
また、自分が申し込んだ席は前方のデラックスのはずでしたが、なぜか後方の席でしたので評価は不満としました。

We visited Maui for the first time with our family this time. I found out about this tour while looking for a luau show along the coast.

It was very close, just a 10-minute drive from our hotel in Kaanapali, and although the parking lot was small, it was convenient as we could easily find parking nearby.

Even before the show started, we enjoyed the atmosphere with unlimited drinks and poke dishes. The show seemed a bit subdued since the stage was a little far away, but I think it would have been more exciting with a fire dance. Overall, I highly recommend it!

今回家族でマウイ島はじめて行きました。
ルアウショーを海沿いでは鑑賞で来たらと思い探していたところこのツアーを知りました。

カアナパリのホテルからも車で10分でとても近く、駐車場は小さいが近隣にすぐ停めれたので便利でした。

ショーが始まるまでまでも、ドリンク飲み放題やポキのお料理等雰囲気だけでも楽しめました。
ショーは、ステージが少し遠かったこともあり、
やや地味に見えましたが。。ファイアーダンスもあればもっと盛り上がったように思います。
総合的にはかなりオススメです！
