All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I was anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, especially since the guide couldn't speak Japanese, but I had no problems and enjoyed myself completely! The night view and fireworks were wonderful! Since it can be a bit chilly, it's definitely a good idea to bring a jacket!

初めてのハワイで不安、しかもガイドさんは日本語が話せない…と不安でしたが全く問題無く楽しめました！夜景に花火素晴らしかったです！
肌寒いので必ずアウター持っていくといいです！

Best cruise we have been on. Great staff, very helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for an affordable dinner cruise.

Beautiful and fun. The crew was awesome! Such a great way to end the day!!!

On my first trip to Hawaii, I was looking for a spot to watch fireworks since the first day was a Friday, and I found this cruise. I boarded the ship feeling excited about my first time in Hawaii! Shortly after departure, the fireworks visible from the sea were amazing. The fireworks lasted about ten minutes, and then the sailing cruise began with the sails up! It felt wonderful to sway gently in the wind. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and I had a few beers while my friend, who doesn't drink alcohol, enjoyed pineapple juice, which was also very delicious. Perhaps because we departed later than other boats, the sea in Hawaii felt like it was all ours after the fireworks ended. (Other boats seemed to have left early and returned after the fireworks.) The night view was beautiful, and it was a truly moving moment. I would love to board this cruise again the next time I visit Hawaii. Thank you!

初めてのハワイで初日が金曜日ということで花火観賞スポットを探していて見つけたクルーズでした。
初ハワイでウキウキのまま乗船！
出発後まもなく海から見える花火は最高でした。
花火は１０分ほどでしたがその後に帆を立ててヨットクルーズがスタート！
ゆらゆらと風に乗ってとても気持ち良かったです。
ドリンクも飲み放題で私はビールを何本かいただき、お酒の飲めない友人はパイナップルジュースを飲みました。パイナップルジュースもとてもおいしかったです。
出発がほかの船より遅かったからか花火が終わった後は
ハワイの海が貸し切り状態でした。
（ほかの船は早くから出港して花火が終わったら帰港のようでした）
夜景もきれいで何もかもが感動のひとときでした。
次回ハワイを訪れた時はもう一度乗船したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to see the dances of each island in the Pacific, learning about their similarities and differences. There were also efforts made to ensure participants enjoyed themselves, such as celebrating birthdays and cheering together.
The meals offered a considerable variety, and even taking small portions resulted in quite a large amount. As mentioned in previous experiences, the order in which you go to get food is determined by your seating, so it’s not an all-you-can-eat situation from the start time. It might have been tough waiting and getting hungry (laughs).
If you don’t have the opportunity to see traditional shows (or have never eaten traditional cuisine) during your stay, I think this is a great option.

太平洋の島々のそれぞれの踊りを見せてくれて、似たところ違うところを知ることが出来ました。参加者の誕生日を祝ったり、一緒に掛け声をかけたりなど参加者が楽しむための工夫もされています。
食事は結構な種類があり、少しずつ取ってもかなり大量になります。前の体験談にもあるように席によって食事をとりにいく順番が決まっていますので、スタート時刻から食べ放題と言う訳ではありません。待っている間におなかへってツラかったかな（笑）。
滞在中に伝統的なショーを見る機会がない（または伝統料理を食べたことがない）なら、いいとおもいます。

This was my second time on the Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was great again. Unfortunately, the sunset was hidden by clouds, but the night view of the Waikiki hotel district from the ocean side was very beautiful. The last-minute reservation went smoothly, and there were no issues at all. I think it's a recommended tour.

サンセットディナークルーズは二度目でしたが
今回も良かったです。残念ながら夕日は雲に隠れて見えなかったけど海側から見るワイキキのホテル街の夜景はとても綺麗でした。急遽の予約でしたが送迎もスムーズでなんの問題もありませんでした。オススメのツアーだと思います。

27 years ago, we enjoyed a show at the same place with my 5-year-old daughter. This time, we visited Hawaii for her wedding and went to see the show again, reminiscing about the past. The emotions from back then came flooding back, and we were very satisfied.

27年前、今と同じ場所で公演されていたショーを当時5歳の娘を連れて家族でショーを楽しみました。
今回はその娘の結婚式でハワイを訪れ昔を思い出し再びショーを見に行きました。
昔の感動が再びよみがえり大満足でした。

We took our son to the show for his birthday and truly enjoyed every minute. I would recommend this show over any of the other Luaus we have been too. The staff was very entertaining and actually seemed to enjoy themselves. We will go again if we get a chance to return to Oahu.

Outstanding food helpful staff and the show was amazing.

Since we had no plans this time, I thought I’d join in to see the fireworks on Friday night. Although we couldn't catch the sunset, we thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks. With all-you-can-drink options and the chance to enjoy the night view, I think it’s a great way to participate casually. Since it was the end of September, there were only us and one other group of Japanese people. The staff were friendly, and it was nice to enjoy a cheerful Hawaiian night.

今回は何も予定なしだったので、金曜の夜の花火でも見ようかなーと参加してみました。時間的にサンセットは見られませんが花火は堪能できました。飲み放題だし、夜景観賞できるし気軽に参加できていいと思います。9月末ということもあって日本人は私たちとプラス1組だけ。スタッフの方たちは感じいいし、ハワイの陽気な夜を楽しめていいかと思います。

Fabulous show! Awesome food and wonderful staff! I would highly recommend and go again :)

First, we were welcomed at the entrance with a hula dance, and we had the opportunity to take photos with the hula girls. In the first room, we took commemorative photos with Elvis. The welcome drinks and snacks, including potato chips and pineapple wrapped in prosciutto, were very delicious.

After that, we were guided to our dining seats, but initially, there was one napkin missing, and the staff took a while to come. When they finally arrived and I ordered a drink, it seemed that the person at the next table received something different. The Kirin Ichiban beer I ordered had a much stronger bitterness than I expected.

The photos taken at the beginning are shown to you during the meal, but since there is no explanation in Japanese, you need to be careful not to casually say yes, as it will result in a $25 purchase.

I also found it concerning that the staff were silent when placing the food on the table. The taste of the appetizer salad and lobster, as well as the main dishes of steak and salmon, was very delicious, and I enjoyed the show featuring performers resembling famous artists! However, the MC's commentary, aside from the songs, was not easily understood by Japanese guests, and only those who understood English seemed to be having a great time. In addition to singing, there were also hula dances and fire dances, which were quite impressive.

It seems that you can take photos without flash. However, video recording is not allowed. I thought that if there were a few improvements in service, I would consider returning.

まず入り口でフラダンスでお出迎えしてくれて、フラガールとの写真撮影ができました。最初の部屋ではエルヴィスとの記念撮影をしてくれました。次の部屋でのウェルカムドリンクとポテトチップスやパイナップルに生ハムが巻いてあるものはとてもおいしかったです。
その後、食事の席に案内されますが、まずナプキンがひとつ足りず、店員さんはなかなか来ない。ようやく来てドリンクを頼むと、隣の席の方は違うものが来ているようでした。自分が頼んだビールのキリン一番は、苦味が強すぎて予想していたものと違う印象がありました。
最初に撮影した写真は後から食事中に見せに来ますが、日本語の説明もないので安易にはいと言ってしまうと25ドルで購入することになってしまうので注意が必要です。
店員さんが食事をテーブルに置く時に無言なのも気になりました。
前菜のサラダとロブスター、メインのステーキとサーモンの味はとても美味しく、有名アーティストに似た人が続々と出てくるショーも楽しめました！ショーの歌以外のＭＣは日本人にはよくわからず、英語がわかる人だけ盛り上がっていました。歌以外にもフラダンスやファイヤーダンスもあり、迫力は凄いです。
写真はフラッシュ無しなら撮ってよいそうです。ビデオはダメだそうです。
もう少しサービス改善があれば、リピートしてもアリだと思いました。

On the first day of our honeymoon in Hawaii, we participated in this show. The food before the show was delicious, including lobster, salmon, steak, and dessert. The mashed potatoes that accompanied the salmon and steak had a wonderful truffle flavor and were particularly tasty! Overall, there was a lot of food, and we couldn't finish it all.

The show itself was packed with content. Although I wasn't very familiar with Elvis Presley's songs due to my generation, I recognized many songs by Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, making it very enjoyable to watch. Since we had VIP seats, we were very close to the stage, and the fire dance was incredibly impressive!

新婚旅行で初ハワイの初日にこのショーに参加しました。ショー前の料理はロブスター、サーモン、ステーキ、デザートどれも美味しくて、特にサーモンとステーキの付け合わせのマッシュポテトがトリュフの風味が効いていて美味しかったです！全体的なボリュームもあり、食べきれないほどでした。
ショーの内容も盛りだくさんで、世代的にエルビスプレスリーの曲はあまり知りませんでしたがマイケルジャクソンやケイティー・ペリーは知っている曲が多く、とても楽しく見ていることが出来ました。VIP席ということで距離もとても近く、ファイヤーダンスの迫力もすごかったです！

High energy, beautiful location, great food. What a night!

I've been going to Hawaii every year, but this was my first time seeing the Rock-a-Hula show. This time, my wife and I decided to enjoy Hawaii at a leisurely pace, so we spontaneously chose to see this show. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from the impersonations, but once it started, I was amazed by the intensity, reminiscent of a Las Vegas show. The fusion of Hawaiian and rock music was something I never imagined, but it fit perfectly without any sense of incongruity, which really impressed me. The Michael Jackson impersonation was great, but I never expected to see fire dancing, so it felt like a great deal. If your wallet allows, I definitely recommend choosing the VIP dinner option to enjoy a nice meal before watching from the best seats.

毎年ハワイに行ってますが初めてロック・ア・フラショーをみました。
今回は妻とゆっくりハワイを楽しもうということで急遽このショーを見ました。
正直物マネに期待はしていなかったのですが始まってみるとラスベガスのショーのような
迫力にびっくりしました。ハワイアンとロックの融合とても考えつかないのですが、まったく違和感もなくむしろぴったりマッチしていることに感動しました。マイケルジャクソンの物まねもよかったですが、まさかファイアーダンスまで見れるなんて思ってもいなかったのですごくお得な気がしました。
もし財布に余裕があるなら是非ＶＩＰディナーを選んでゆっくり食事してから最高の席で見てほしいです。

Even with guaranteed front-row seats, guests are seated in order from the front according to a U-shaped arrangement, so it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be sitting in the front row directly facing the stage. However, during the show, the dancers perform facing all directions, so you can still enjoy it thoroughly. I entered about 30 minutes after the doors opened, and although I wasn't in the front area, I was able to sit about three seats from the front in the side area.

Upon entry, they place a flower lei around your neck. The meal is served buffet-style, allowing you to take everything from the main dishes to salads and desserts at once. The staff will come around to ask if you need more drinks. It was a bit disappointing that poi was not on the menu. The entire show is in English. There was a brief moment when it rained, which made me anxious, but it cleared up afterward, so I was lucky. Since it's on the rooftop, it's wise to be prepared for weather changes. I think it's a show worth seeing at least once.

前方席確約であっても、コの字型の配列に従って前から順番にお客さんを入れていくので、正面の前方席に座れるというわけではありません。しかし、ショー中はダンサーたちも全方位に向かって踊ってくれるので、十分楽しめます。開場時間30分ほど後に入場しましたが、正面エリアでは無かったものの、横のエリアの前から3席目あたりに座れました。
入場時に、花のレイをかけてくれます。食事はビュッフェ方式で、一度にメインからサラダ、デザートまで取ります。おかわりのドリンクは、係の方が聞きに来てくれます。食事のメニューにポイが無かったのが残念でした。ショーはすべて英語です。一瞬、通り雨が降ったので不安になりましたが、その後晴れたのでラッキーでした。屋上のため天候に左右されるものだという覚悟はしておいた方がいいかもしれません。一度は見ておくと良いショーだと思います。

2nd time out with the boys. Fantastic night service was amazing again. How they looked after the people that felt sick was incredible. You have amazing staff. Good to meet other people from all over the world

I saw a rock show for the first time!

Unlike the Polynesian show I saw in the past, it was very lively, and time flew by.

Of course, there were also Tahitian and hula dances.

I definitely want to participate again next time!

初めてロックショーを見ました！

昔見たポリネシアンショーとは違いとってもノリノリで、時間が経つのがあっという間です

もちろんタヒチアンやフラダンスもあります

次回も是非参加したいです

The fireworks lasted about 10 minutes, and after that, we were just on the boat looking at the dark sea. It might have been nice if we could enjoy the coastline and the sunset, but I can't recommend a cruise after sunset. My mother even said, "What was that thing yesterday?" which made me feel really bad since I was the one who arranged it (^^;;).

花火は１０分位で終わり、あとは暗い海を眺めながら船に乗っている状態。 海岸線や夕陽を楽しめる時間帯なら良かったかもしれませんが、日没後のクルーズはおすすめできません。
母からも、昨日のアレは何だったの？ と酷い言われようで、手配した私は立つ瀬が無かったです(^^;;

The buffet had so many options that it was hard to choose. I wanted to eat a lot, but I couldn't finish everything. The dance show was very powerful and wonderful! The child actors were cute, and I felt that the performance of the lead was top-notch.

ビュッフェも品数が多くて迷うほど、たくさん食べたかったけど食べ切れませんでした。ダンスショーはとても迫力があって素晴らしかった！子役がかわいく、主役の人のパフォーマンスは一流だと感じました。

It was a nice dinner cruise. Entertainer was beautiful. Just wish we had air conditioning, it was hot.

The journey was a bit long, so most people were sleeping. The guide was quietly explaining the scenery with consideration for everyone. The buffet was deluxe, and each person had a crab shoulder. There were no explanations at the venue, so it's better to look for things yourself. There was ice cream by the entrance, and I realized it when leaving, so I missed out on it... what a shame. The show was impressive and good.

移動は、少し長いのでほとんどの人は寝ていました。ガイドさんが、気を使い小声で

ショーは、迫力があり良かったです。

We came to the polynesian center on the last evening of our Hawaii trip, and it was definitely a full day event. We saw shows and performances basically non stop from Noon to 5:30 PM and got to the buffet dinner on time. The only negative thing I’d have to say is the dinner is so-so quality and not polynesian themed (as we had hoped), and the guy serving the roast beef is probably the most silent and angry server we’ve ever met lol... also true to another review mentioned, food was basically near shortage or out completely after ~45 minutes of the scheduled start time even though it’s supposed to go for another 45 minutes.

The shows in general were very informative and entertaining, some extremely humorous. We also had tickets to the night show Ha, and that was a huge highlight.

My Lei greeter was absolutely wonderful. Very kind and knowledgeable. My shuttle was running late & she stayed with me until it arrived.
This was my 17th time to Hawaii and in previous years I used a previous Lei Greeting Company & an elderly man was my Lei greeter. He was so rude I had to change companies. I'm very pleased with this company and I highly recommend them. I recommend them to all my friends who visit Oahu.

I had high expectations because of the great reviews, but it was fairly average. The Mai Tai was delicious. It was quite rocky, and there were a few people who got seasick.

クチコミ評価が高いので凄く期待して参加しましたが割りと普通でした。
マイタイは美味しかったです。結構揺れます、船酔いした人もちらほらいました。

The sunset is of course breathtaking, it was amazing to see Oahu island at dusk, and the crew is fun and engaging. I would love to do it again.

I was told by a friend that the show has an incredible scale, so I signed up for a tour that allows you to watch the show from the central front row seats. The tour included bus transportation, and a veteran female guide happily introduced us to various landmarks along the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Once we arrived, we had our meal right away. We opted for the deluxe meal, which had a wide variety of dishes and exceeded our expectations, especially the crab and roast beef, which were delicious.

As for the show, we had seats right in the middle of the front row, making it very easy to see, and the stage was incredibly powerful. Since there was a bit of distance from the stage, even from the front row, we could see everything well, and I was glad we chose those seats.

There was a little time between the meal and the show, so we were able to visit the souvenir shop as well. It was a pity that we couldn't go to the village, but I had a great time!

友人からショーはスケールがすごいから絶対に観た方が良いと言われたので、ショーを中央前列の席で観られるツアーで申し込みました。
バスの送迎付きで、ベテラン女性が、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターに向かうまで、途中の道にある名所などを楽しく案内してくれました。
現地に着いてからはすぐに食事。
食事はデラックスの方で、この食事が種類も多く、予想以上で、特にカニとローストビーフが美味しかったです。
ショーの方は、ちょうど真ん中の前の方の席で、すごく観やすく、大迫力のステージでした。
ステージから少し距離があるので、前列の方でも全体がよく見えて、前の席にして良かったなと思いました。
食事からショーの間は少し時間があり、お土産屋さんも回れました。
村には行けなかったのが残念でしたが、すごく楽しめました！

Beautiful lei and a great way to be welcomed to Hawaii. The lady was lovely and gave us some information and took our picture. Recommended and will use services again.

The meeting place is the designated gathering spot for each company's tour, and at first, I was confused about which bus to take, but the guide actively reached out to us, allowing us to board the bus smoothly. As for the food, it was a bit disappointing. There were few dishes, and the taste was mediocre. The show was impressive and enjoyable. However, it lacked comedic elements and exciting moments, which might make the second half a bit dull. Previously, I participated in a similar tour in Guam, where the food was delicious and the show was highly entertaining, so this time I felt it was a bit overpriced.

集合場所は各社のツアー集合場所になっており、最初はどのバスか迷いましたが、ガイドの方が積極的に声をかけてくれ、スムーズにバスに乗れました。料理については、少し期待外れでした。品数が少なく、味も平凡でした。ショーについては、迫力があり、楽しめました。ただ、コミカル要素・盛り上がりポイントがあまりなく、後半少し飽きるかもしれません。以前、グアムの同じようなツアーに参加しましたが、料理がおいしく、ショーもエンタメ度が高く楽しかったので、今回は少し割高に感じました。
