All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

It might feel a bit long, but you can enjoy not only hula but also various types of dance. The guide was really informative and taught us a lot, which was fun. The food was decent as well.

ちょっと長い気もしますが、フラはもちろん色々な種類のダンスが楽しめます。行くまでのガイドさんもすごく色々なことを教えてくれて、楽しかったです。食事もまあまあでした

Had a great time the food was good as was the entertainment an extra plus for us was it was a short walk from our condo that we stayed at.

Our first visit to Maui...our first ever Luau and we were not disappointed!! The entertainment was excellent and the food was amazing!

Since I participated on Friday night, I was able to enjoy the sunset as well as the Hilton fireworks from the boat, which was wonderful. The staff were all cheerful, and I was able to have a fun time throughout. There was plenty of time, and I was satisfied with being able to leisurely enjoy both the sunset and the night view.

金曜の夜に参加したので、サンセットに加えてヒルトンの花火も船上から見ることができ、とてもよかったです。スタッフの方が皆陽気で、終始楽しい気分で過ごせました。時間がたっぷりあり、夕陽も夜景もゆっくり楽しめて満足でした。

I have visited Hawaii many times, but this was my first time at the Polynesian Cultural Center! It was about an hour and a half from Waikiki, which was a bit far, but I was able to see wild seals along the way, which was great! The show was impressive, and I loved being able to take photos with the dancers on stage at the end! I would like to visit again!

何度もハワイに来ていますが初めてポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに訪問しました！
ワイキキから1時間半ほどで遠かったですが、途中野生のアザラシなど見れてとても良かったです！
ショーも迫力があり、最後ダンサーたちと舞台で写真を撮れたのが良かったです！
また伺いたいと思いました！

My husband and I were looking for a night out and this fit the bill. Our service was the best of the several excursions we have taken while here. The food was good and was cooked at our request to my personal liking. The show itself was very good which continually moved forward with good timing. The only negative I found was we sometimes lost the vocals, my husband thought is was probably due to our location in the room, which was on the floor directly in front of and below the stage. Dispite this it was an excellent show.

We enjoyed the trip and the experience, and the driver Jason was wondeful! Thank you!

While waiting to depart, I got completely soaked from the waves hitting the shore! If you don't like getting wet, I recommend avoiding the seats in front of the left-side railing. At first, I felt a bit seasick from the rocking, but I gradually got used to it. By the middle of the trip, the wind felt pleasant, the music was uplifting, and interacting with people from different countries was enjoyable. It was really great!

出港待ちの間に、岸に当たった波で、全身ずぶ濡れ！
濡れるのが嫌な方は、左側 手すり前の席は避けた方が良いと思います。
はじめの内は揺れで酔いそうになりましたが、だんだん慣れてきて、中盤を過ぎた頃には、風が心地良く、音楽に心踊り、異国の方達との交流も楽しく、とても良かったです‼︎

I was looking forward to the fireworks viewing event on this trip. The ship was mostly filled with foreigners, just like in other people's experiences, but since the purpose was cruising and watching fireworks, I was able to enjoy it without worrying. There were reviews saying the fireworks themselves weren't that impressive, but considering the context of watching them in Hawaii, I think they were on par with Japan's large fireworks festivals.

この旅で楽しみにしていたイベントである花火鑑賞。
船内は他の方の体験談同様、ほとんどが外国人でしたが目的はクルージング～花火だったので逆に気にせず楽しめました。
花火自他は大したものではないとのレビューもありましたが、ハワイで見るというフィルターを考えれば、日本の大きな花火大会にも引けをとらないと思いました。

THE EXPERIENCE WAS BEYOND GREAT AND ME AND FAMILY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME

I sailed with 15 family members and that made the experience very special. The open bar was less than we expected but the staff was very nice and pretty entertaining.

It was well organized and everyone was very friendly. The singer Leilani was amazing she is a talented musician and told great stories. The food was better than expected. I would recommend to anyone.

This was my second time participating, and it was so much fun that I brought a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

At the Terrace Luau, there was a whole roasted pig, and all the Hawaiian dishes were delicious.

It seems that the content of the show is constantly changing, so I never got bored.

About 90% of the participants seemed to be Japanese, but Katy Perry wasn't very well-known among the older audience and didn't get much of a reaction.

Michael Jackson and Elvis were, of course, very well-known and received a great response.

We got to see both hula and fire dancing, and everyone in my group was very satisfied. They said the one-hour show flew by.

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time.

Overall our experience was excellent. The food was delicious. The show was good. We really enjoyed the games before the show too. It was fun to learn the hula with my girls. I loved learning about the Hawaiian culture.

I could see the Hilton fireworks very well.
The pitch-black Waikiki cruise was mystical.
The all-you-can-drink option was quite difficult to enjoy.

ヒルトンの花火がよく見えました。
真っ暗なワイキキクルーズは神秘的。
飲み放題は中々飲みづらいなあ

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time attending this show. First of all, I was surprised at how close the audience was to the stage! Until I saw it, I thought it would be just another typical Hawaiian show, but it was completely different! While it may not be on par with Las Vegas shows, it was quite similar. The fire dance was also very impressive due to the proximity to the stage.

I signed up for the dinner package, and the meat was delicious. Above all, the staff's service was outstanding! The entire experience, including dinner, lasted about three hours, but I enjoyed it without getting bored. I would definitely recommend it to someone.

There were drinks available in the waiting room, and the service was good, so I recommend arriving a little early. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lobster...

I have added more memories of Hawaii!

ハワイに何回か来たことがありますが初めての今回のショーでした。
まず客席が舞台にかなり近いのがビックリ！見るまではハワイによくありがちなハワイショーかと思いきや全滅違いました！
ラスベガスのショーとまではいかないですがかなり近いものがありました。
舞台に近いせいもありファイヤーダンスも迫力満点でした。
ディナー付きで申し込みましたがお肉が美味しいかったです。そして何よりスタッフの方の対応が素晴らしい！ディナーも含めて3時間程度でしたが飽きずに楽しめました。
誰かにオススメしたいと思います。
ウェイティングルームのドリンクもありサービスもいいので少し早めに行かれることをオススメします。
ただロブスターが少し残念でした…
またハワイの思い出がふえました。

The LDS church does a great job with this activity!

The hula dance and fire action were beautiful, powerful, and very entertaining. The food and drinks were quite ordinary, but I think the service was pretty good. If you have the time, I recommend arriving a little before the meeting time. Seats are assigned in the order of arrival, so this time we were in the front row. Because of that, we were able to enjoy a spectacular show.

フラダンスとファイアーアクションは、きれいで迫力があり、とても面白いです。
食事とお酒はごく普通の内容ですが、サービスはかなり良いと思います。
余裕があれば集合時間の少し前に行った方が良いと思います。席は並んでいる順番で前から案内されるため、今回は一番前の席でした。
そのかいあって、迫力満点のショーを楽しめました。

Amazing staff! The trip was amazing! The ease of changing a reservation was also a huge plus.

Booked the Holokai Catamaran for the first night of our trip. Was relaxing cruising up and down Waikiki beach. Great views of Diamond Head as well. Plenty of photo opportunities. The night we went the ocean was calm and we were able to stand up on the deck the entire time. No chance of getting sea sick. The captain even let my wife steer the boat (great photo opp). Complimentary alcohol, but a healthy tip makes all the difference. Be sure to know where the pickup location is (on the beach), because you don't want to be late and "miss the boat". Perfect excursion to start off our trip. Cruise returns just in time for dinner. I'm returning to Waikiki in November and will be booking this cruise again.

The highlight of the tour is the fireworks on Friday night. Everyone can enjoy them from the deck with an unobstructed view. Thanks to Captain Josh, Crew Corinne, and Lisa, we had a great time. For some reason, we were encouraged to drink plenty of alcohol (what was the two-drink limit about?).

By the way, the tour is in English. I think it's fine even for those who are not good at English as long as you follow the people around you.

Staying at Hilton Village made it convenient. It's a 54-passenger catamaran yacht. To be honest, it does sway. Depending on the weather, it could get quite rough. I think this is a matter of personal preference. My companions were upset, but we were fortunate with the weather. Also, everyone had to board barefoot, leaving shoes in a box at the pier.

There is no cooler, but since we were on the water, it wasn't hot and was actually quite pleasant. It became a great memory.

肝心のツアークライマックスは金曜日晩の花火です。これはデッキで全員文句なしに特等席で見られます。
Captain Josh & Crew Corinne とLisaのおかげで楽しく過ごせました。なぜかアルコールもふんだんに飲まされました。(2杯のリミットはなんだったんでしょうか)
ちなみに英語ツアーになります。英語苦手な方でも周りの人に合わせてれば問題ないと思います。
ヒルトンビレッジ泊だったので楽でした。
双胴船の54人乗りのヨットです。正直なところ揺れます。天候次第ではとんでもないことになるかな。ヨットだから。これは好き嫌いかなり別れると思います。同行者は怒ってましたが天候に恵まれ助かりました。また全員素足での乗船となり、埠頭のボックスに靴は預けることになります。
クーラーもありませんが海上なので暑くなくむしろ気持ち良かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

We had an amazing time!! Unlimited Mai-Tai cocktail and drinks, great staff and nice music while cruising Waikiki beach!! What else to expect from this tour?
We absolutely recommend it to people that want to have an unforgettable Friday night at Oahu!!

If you are staying at the Royal Kona Resort, you can also watch the show from the hotel balcony, poolside, or restaurant.

ロイヤルコナリゾートに宿泊している方でしたら、ホテルのベランダ、プールサイド、レストランからも、ショーは見られますよ。

I was a bit drowsy at first due to fatigue from Hawaii, but once I woke up and started watching, my eyes were glued to the performance. Of course, Presley and Michael were amazing, but I was surprised by the dancers in the background who seamlessly performed not only hula but various other dances as well. It was even more surprising to realize that they were the same staff who brought us drinks during our first meal. Wow, it was incredible. It was very engaging, and I highly recommend it. The buffet meal might not be the best, so I give it four stars.

ハワイ疲れで最初はウトウトしてましたが、はっと目覚め見始めると、目が釘ずけになりました。プレスリーやマイケルはもちろん素晴らしいのですが、バックで踊っている方々がフラはもちろんの事どんなダンスでも次々とこなし、ビックリしました。それが最初の食事の時にドリンクを運んで来てくれたスタッフだとわかり、ますますビックリ。いやー、凄いです。見応えあって、オススメです。バイキングの食事はいまいちかも。で、星4つ。

Great experience, enjoyed by whole family, would recommend to others!

I was thinking about where to watch the fireworks at Hilton on Friday when I discovered this option and signed up immediately!

There were more foreigners than Japanese participants (when I went, it was about 30% Japanese). Before boarding, the people who had gone on the sunset tour returned, and everyone was super excited. I got on a bit apprehensively, wondering why they were so hyped up (laughs). The staff were very cheerful and kept recommending Mai Tais, and the foreigners were singing and dancing to the music playing in the background, getting more and more pumped up. In the end, we all joined in a big sing-along and had a blast! I finally understood why the people who boarded earlier were so energetic. I was worried I might get seasick, but I didn't feel seasick at all; I just got drunk (laughs). However, after getting off the boat, due to the alcohol, I still felt a bit wobbly as if I was still on the boat for a while.

It was so much fun that it has become one of the activities I absolutely want to recommend to anyone going to Hawaii, and I will definitely participate in it again the next time I go to Hawaii. It was June, but it was a bit chilly at night, so having a light jacket or something might be a good idea.

金曜日のヒルトンの花火をどこで見ようかと考えていた所
このオプションを発見して、即申し込み！

参加者は日本人よりも外国人の方が多く（私が乗った時は日本人3割くらいかな）
乗る前に、サンセットツアーに行っていた人たちが帰ってきて
みんなめっちゃテンション高くて、なんであんなテンション高くなってるんだ
って若干引き気味で乗ったんだけど（笑）
スタッフはめっちゃ陽気でどんどんマイタイを薦めて来るし
外国人たちはアルコールが入ってBGMで流れている歌を歌ったり踊ったり
どんどんテンションも上がって、最終的には私たちも大合唱で大はしゃぎ！
先に乗ってた人たちのテンション高い意味がよくわかった。
船酔いするかも？って心配してたけど
船酔いは全然せず、ただ酒に酔っただけでした（笑）
でも、船を降りた後はアルコールのせいもあって
まだ船に乗っているようなフワフワ感がしばらく抜けませんでした。

とにかく楽し過ぎるので、これからハワイに行く人には絶対オススメしたいアクティビティの1つになりましたし、自分も今後ハワイに行く時には必ず参加するアクティビティの1つになりました。
6月だったけど夜は少し肌寒いので薄手のジャケット等があった方がいいかもです。

My wife and I attended the Smith Family Luau after the cruise to the fern grotto. The entire experience was amazing. The Smith family themselves were welcoming and gracious, the staff was easy to talk to and helpful. The food was out of this world good, especially for a large buffet. Even a downpour couldn't stop us from having a fantastic time. I recommend the luau to everyone and anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

We set sail from the beach while the sun is high, gently swaying with the pleasant breeze and waves as we round Diamond Head. While enjoying the scenery and sipping drinks, we gradually transition into dusk. It's always packed, but as we toast and chat, time flies by, so standing is perfectly fine. And finally, we witness the beautiful sunset sinking into the horizon. It's not an expensive tour with meals included, so it's easy to join. Enjoying the sunset while savoring a pre-dinner drink (all-you-can-drink♪), we then have a leisurely dinner at a delicious restaurant.

陽の高いうちにビーチから出航し、心地よい風と波に揺られながらダイヤモンドヘッドの向こう側まで回り込みます。
お酒を飲みながら、風景を楽しんでのんびりしているうちにだんだん夕暮れに。
毎回満席であふれてますが、乾杯したり、おしゃべりしたりしているうちにあっという間に時間が過ぎるので立ったままでも全然大丈夫でした。
そして最後に水平線に沈む美しいサンセット
お食事付きの高価なツアーではないので気軽に参加出来ます。
サンセットを堪能しながら食前酒（呑み放題♪）を楽しみ、その後美味しいレストランでゆっくりディナーです

There were Japanese participants, including our family and one couple. The rest were all foreigners, but the atmosphere was nice, and after a little while, we were asked to take photos. Even though I didn't understand much of the language, I had a great time.

When we raised the sails and cut through the wind, it felt amazing and was so much fun. We went quite far out, and I was able to see parts of Diamond Head that I usually can't, and the boat stopped so we could properly enjoy the sunset.

The captain and crew were handsome as well. I definitely want to join the sunset cruise again next time.

参加者に日本人は私達、ファミリーと1組カップルが参加されていました。
他は、外国の方ばかりでしたが雰囲気も良く、少し時間が経つと写真撮影を頼まれたりして、言葉があまり理解できなくても、十分に楽しめました。
途中で帆を上げ、風を切って進む時は最高に気持ち良く、楽しいです。
結構、沖の方まで出てくれてダイヤモンドヘッドもいつもは見ることが出来ない所が見れ、サンセットもしっかり見る事が出来るよう船を停めてくれます。
キャプテンもクルーもイケメンでしたよ。
また、次もサンセットクルーズに参加したいと思います。

It became cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I enjoyed the cruise itself. I opted for juice instead of alcohol because I was sure I would get seasick, but the sea breeze felt nice.

曇ってきてしまい結果的に夕陽は見れませんでしたが、クルーズ自体は楽しめました。お酒を飲むと確実にはきそうだったのでジュースにしましたが、海風が気持ちよかったです。
