All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Beautiful location, great food and fantastic performances of Hawaiian culture! The entire evening was very well organized and the people so gracious and accommodating. We Loved it and recommend it highly!

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to see the sunset from the ocean, so I booked this tour. It's a yacht rather than a large boat, so it sways more than I expected! I think it's better to be out on the deck and feel the wind rather than stay inside.

As soon as we set sail, drinks were served, and after a while, there was a buffet-style dinner. Although no one spoke Japanese, the staff was very friendly, so I didn't have any issues. We set sail at 5 PM, and by before 6 PM, the drinks and dinner were finished. I thought to myself, "Do I really have to stay in this sway for over an hour?" but on the way back, the swaying stopped due to the direction of the waves, and I was able to enjoy the much-anticipated sunset and relax.

It may depend on the day, but I think those who are not prone to seasickness will enjoy it even if it sways.

せっかくハワイに来たので海からのサンセットが見たくこちらのツアーを予約。
大型船ではなくヨットなので思っていた以上に揺れる！
室内にいるよりデッキに出て風に当たる方がいいと思います。
出航してすぐドリンクが提供され、しばらくしてバイキング形式のディナー。日本語は全く通じませんがスタッフはとてもフレンドリーで困ることはありませんでした。
17時に出航して18時前にはドリンクとディナーが終了、まだ１時間以上もこの揺れの中いるのかぁ、、と一瞬挫けそうになりましたが戻りは波の向き的に揺れがなくなり期待のサンセットを見たりのんびり過ごせました。
日にもよると思いますが揺れても大丈夫な船酔いに強い方は楽しめると思います。

A pleasant sea breeze and a speeding yacht.
We’re feeling tipsy with Mai Tais.
The two beautiful women next to us synchronize with our toast.
We hit it off and enjoy a fun dinner together.
Italian food at Waikiki Beach.
The best night until late into the evening.
Thank you.

心地よい海風をうけ、疾るヨット。
マイタイでほろ酔いかげんな僕ら。
カンパイの音頭に隣りの美人二人連れがシンクロ。
意気投合して、楽しい夕食を伴に。
ワイキキビーチのイタリアン。
夜が更けるまで最高の夜。
ありがとう。

We had not been to the Polynesian Cultural Center since our honeymoon 26 years ago. I'm so glad we decided to go back. It is a magical place that takes you on a journey to many different cultures and lands. It's fun, it's exciting, and it's educational. You meet so many interesting and wonderful people along the way that love to tell you about their traditions and their lands.

The food was fabulous and then came the finale show of the evening. It was well thought out, magically produced and choreographed and told a very valuable story.

This is definitely a do not miss event for anyone visiting Oahu!

Great captian and crew. Free pick-up and return from Waikiki, didn't have to be concerned about drinking too much. Fun evening and great fireworks.

We participated as three generations of our family. The sunset was very beautiful, and the Mai Tai was delicious! My clothes got a little wet from the splashes, but that's also a nice memory.

親子三世代で参加しました。夕日がとても綺麗で、マイタイも美味しかった〜。水しぶきで服も少し濡れたけど、それもいい思い出。

I felt uplifted when I was given a lei upon entry! The all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink options, along with the show, were fantastic!

入場時にレイをかけてもらって、気分が上がりました！
食べ放題、飲み放題でショーも見れて最高でした‼︎

I had the most moving moments during this trip. It's not often in life that you experience something that makes you want to cry just from seeing the scenery. I would definitely recommend it to others, and if I have the chance to come back to Waikiki, I will make sure to include it in my schedule.

今回の旅行の中で、最も感動する時間を得る事が出来ました。景色を見て泣きそうになることなど、人生の内でそうそう体験出来るものではありません。他の人にも進めると同時にまたワイキキに来ることがあれば、必ずスケジュールに入れたいと思います。

The hospitality from everyone at the luau was outstanding! I was surprised by the bright and cheerful service. It was an incredibly fun time. Also, it was my first experience with a whole roasted pig. And once I tried it, it was exquisite; I've never had such delicious pork before. The show exceeded all my expectations and was incredibly lively. It's also convenient to be able to see it in Waikiki.

フラの皆さん、ホスピタリティ高過ぎ！　明るく楽しいおもてなしでビックリです。最高に楽しい時間でした。それから、ブタの丸焼きも初めての経験。しかも食べてみれば絶品で、こんなに美味しいブタを食べたのは初めてです。ショーも期待をはるかに上回る盛り上がりでした。ワイキキ内で見られるのも便利ですね。

I made a reservation for pickup at the Ala Moana Hotel, but when the pickup time came, no one showed up. After 30 minutes, I called the tour company but couldn't get through, and 45 minutes later, I had to take a taxi to the location and barely made it onto the ship just before departure.

I recommend caution for those requesting a pickup. It was the worst experience. I would like a refund for the taxi fare.

Later, I received a contact from VELTRA, and they coordinated with the tour company to refund the taxi fare. Since I received the refund, I will revise my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.

アラモアナホテルお迎えで予約しましたが、ピックアップ時間になっても来ないため、30分後にツアー会社に電話かけても繋がらず、45分後に急遽タクシーで現地へ向かい出航寸前の船に飛び乗りました。
お迎え頼む方は注意された方が良いです。
最悪でした。
タクシー代返金して欲しいです。

後日 VELTRAから連絡があり、ツアー会社と調整いただきタクシー代の返金がありまた。
返金いただいたので評価を見直し⭐️１から３に変更します。

We arranged our dinner plans through Veltra for a great luau experience which was spectacular.
We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
Everyone at the luau were very friendly in greeting everyone and keeping us posted on the weather which ended up being nice vs pouring rain.
I hope we can come back again with our kids.

I participate every time I travel to Hawaii. This time, I joined on the first day of my arrival. The waves were a bit high, and it swayed like an attraction, but everyone was fine! Haha. We drank and drank, and our spirits were at their peak. Cheers to the healing journey that starts today!

毎回、ハワイ渡航中に参加します。今回は、到着日初日に参加。ちょっと波が高くて、アトラクション的に揺れたけれど、みんなへっちゃら！笑。飲んで飲んで、気分は最高潮。今日から始まる癒しの旅に乾杯！

If you are prone to seasickness, you might be a little worried. The atmosphere was very nice, and I felt it was worth participating. The drinks were sufficient. The meeting place was hard to find.

船酔いがある方は 少し心配かなとも おもいます。雰囲気はとても良く 参加して良かったと思いました。ドリンクだけで 充分でした。集合場所が わかりにくい。

Definetly do the 5 star....it was my wife's 40th Birthday and we had a great meal, beautiful views! Awesome sunset! GREAT music....the staff was wonderful and the setting was very romantic. I would do it again!!!

A university student near the Polynesian Cultural Center served as our guide on the bus, and they were very articulate, sharing various stories about Hawaii, making the approximately one-and-a-half-hour drive feel like no time at all.

The show itself was conducted in English, so the story was a bit hard to follow, but there were many dancers, and it was quite impressive.

ポリネシア文化センター近くの大学生の方がガイドとしてバスに添乗していたのですが、その方がとてもお話し上手で、色々なハワイの話をしてくれ、到着するまでの約1時間半のドライブがあっという間でした。

ショー自体は英語で進行するのでストーリーがいまいちわかづらかったですが、大勢のダンサーさんが出ていて迫力でした。

Wonderful luau!! Would highly recommend!! Came here with my brother who was visiting and we had a blast. Mahalo!

We liked it very much. The narratot, the history, the various outfits, the sincerity of all who performed. And yes, the food was good.

As mentioned in other people's experiences, the claim that this is "the only dinner cruise in Hawaii that can take you from Waikiki to offshore Diamond Head" was false. It followed the same route as Star of Honolulu and turned back well before reaching Diamond Head. It may have been due to high waves on the day, but there was no explanation provided. I had explained to other first-time visitors to Hawaii that we would go to offshore Diamond Head... The food was delicious. It was also nice that it wasn't as large as Star of Honolulu and had fewer people.

他の方の体験談にも記載がありましたが、「ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行くことができるハワイ唯一のディナークルーズ」というのは嘘でした。スターオフホノルルと同じコースを辿り、ダイアモンドヘッドのはるか手前で折り返し。当日は波が高かったのでそうなったかもしれませんが、その説明は無し。他の初ハワイの人たちに、「ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖まで行く」と説明したのに・・・。食事は美味しかったです。スターオフホノルルほど大きくなく人が少ないということも良かったです。

My wife and I booked this during our honeymoon and definitely enjoyed ourselves! The food was delicious, the view was spectacular and gave us plenty of picture opportunities at sunset on the back of the ship! We definitely enjoyed the on board entertainment with the hula dancers, the gentleman on the ukelele, solo vocalist, pianist and they even had a saxophone player who dabbled in the art of the jazz flute! What a great night out!!

This time, it was my third participation in two years. I always enjoy the wonderful show that has been enhanced each time. It's not just a simple impersonation show; I am moved by the high quality every time. I have seen similar shows in Las Vegas, but this one does not fall short at all. However, I felt that there were fewer performers this time and that the showtime was a bit shorter.

今回、２年ぶり３回目の参加でした。毎回ショーアップされた素晴らしいショーを楽しんでおります．単なる物まねショーにとどまらずそのクオリティーの高さには毎回感動しております。
同様のショーをラスベガスでも見たことがありますが決して見劣りしておりません、但し今回は
出演者も少なくショータイムも少し短かった様な気が致しました。

It was very good. Thanks to a limited-time campaign, I was able to get a great seat at a low price and see a wonderful show. The food may vary for each person, but I enjoyed it deliciously. The atmosphere of the restaurant where I dined was also lovely. I wished I could have stayed longer.

とても良かったです。期間限定のキャンぺーンで、お値段も安く良いお席をとれて、すばらしい
ショーを見る事ができました。
食事は人其々でしょうが、私は美味しく頂けました。食事するレストランの雰囲気も素敵でした。もっと長い時間居たかったです。

The staff's talk on the bus that came to pick us up was great. They explained the meanings of Hawaiian words, history, and the lives of the local people in an easy-to-understand way. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, the dynamic dances and performances were just as impressive as I expected.

迎えに来て下さったバスの中でのスタッフの方のお話が良かったです。
Hawaiiのお言葉の意味、歴史、現地の方々の生活、などわかりやすく説明して頂きました。
ポリネシアン文化センターでは
思ってた通りのダイナミックの踊り、演出だったので圧巻です。

This was so much fun and our hosts amazing, Ryan and Felipe. Thank you so much for a great start to our honey moon.

I applied for the VIP dinner and cocktail show after seeing it featured in "In Love with Hawaii 2." I attended with my 75-year-old mother. The food was decent, but it seemed like there was too much for my mother. She also complained about the quick removal of the dishes (it seemed like the woman next to us was saying something similar). However, the show itself was absolutely wonderful, and my mother was very happy. The impersonation show was great, and the fire dance was very impressive. It was also a nice touch to be able to take a photo together on the way out. I would like to visit again if the opportunity arises, but next time, I think it would be better to have dinner elsewhere before attending.

ハワイに恋して2で紹介されて気になっていた所、VIPディナー&カクテルショーのモニター募集があったので申込みしました。75歳の母との参加です。食事の味はまあまあでしたが、母には量が多かったようでした。また、食事を下げるのが早いと不満をこぼしていました。(隣の女性もそのような話をしていたようです)ただ、ショーの内容はとても素晴らしく、母もとても喜んでいました。そっくりさんのショーもそうですが、ファイヤーダンスとても迫力がありました。帰りに一緒に写真を撮ってもらえるのも嬉しいサービスです。機会があればまた伺いたいと思いますが、その時は食事は他でしてきてからの参加でいいかなと思います。

I had a wonderful time. The food was also very filling! However, since I am learning hula, I participated with the image of the best hula dancers in mind, so I felt a bit unsatisfied.

楽しいひと時を過ごしました。ご飯もボリューム満点！
ただ、フラを習っているので、最高のフラダンサー達をイメージして参加してしまったので、少し物足らない感じがしてしまいました。

After entering, you can enjoy cocktails, chips, and fruits in the pre-show area. Once you enter the show venue, the meal will begin, followed by the show. The dancers make surprising entrances from the ceiling. I recognized the shows of Presley and Michael, but unfortunately, I didn't know the songs in Katy's show. The hula show was also more impressive and had more performers than the one on the ship.
The meal is not much different from the dinner on the ship. The content of the show is better here, so if you're not particularly interested in the sunset, I recommend this option.

入場後、前室でカクテルとチップとフルーツがいただけます。ショーの会場に入場後、食事が始まります。その後、ショーが始まります。ダンサーが天井から登場したり、意表を突かれます。プレスリーとマイケルのショーはわかりますが、ケイティーのショーは残念ながら曲がわかりませんでした。フラのショーも船上で行っているものよりも人数が多く迫力のあるものでした。
食事の内容は、船上のディナーと大差はありません。ショーの内容はこちらのほうが上で、サンセットに興味が強くなければこちらのほうをお勧めします。

We had a great day at Luau. It was loud in area while we eat maybe they don't need to

play and sing all the dinner time. Great food and drink.

I was worried that the clouds would obstruct the sunset, but I was able to see the sun setting on the horizon after all. The atmosphere was fantastic, and I felt very relaxed. I would love to ride again.

雲が多く夕陽か見えるか心配でしたが、何とか水平線に沈む夕陽が見えました。
雰囲気は最高で、とても癒されました。
また乗りたいと思います。

It was amazing, the good was great and entertainment was excellent

Very relaxing. Beautiful sunset, my husband & I enjoyed it very much!
