All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I participated with my daughter, and there were only two Japanese people. It felt great to feel the wind more than on a big ship. There was also a couple dancing energetically, making it a really fun time.

娘と参加で、日本人は二人ボッチでした。(^-^;
大きな船より風を感じられて気持ち良かったです。
ノリノリで踊っているご夫婦もいて凄く楽しい時間でした。

It was my first time going to Oahu n I was really excited to go on STAR OF HONOLULU n I absolutely loved it so much That I am already planning to come back again this year...

I read in the reviews that there are few Japanese people and the explanations are in English, but it was a completely problem-free relaxing time. I go to Hawaii about twice a year, so I signed up for various optional tours, but this tour is one I can't miss next time. Since it was late January, it was indeed cold due to the strong winds. A light jacket is necessary.

口コミでは日本人は少ないし説明も英語なので・・とありましたが、全く問題なしのリラックスタイムでした。ハワイは年に2回ほど行きますので色々なオプショナルツアーに申し込みましたがこちらのツアーは次回も外せないです。１月下旬だったので、風が強いこともあり確かに寒かったです。羽織るものは必要ですね。

This is my fourth time.
Every time it gets better, and I've been able to create wonderful memories!
However, the photos are way too expensive!!! I want them for the memories... but they're so high-priced!! Why???
If it weren't for that, it would be a perfect score.

　今回で4回目です。
　毎回グレードアップしていて、大変楽しい思い出を作ることができました！
ただ写真が高すぎるわ！！！思い出で欲しいのですが。。。。。髙い！！なんで？？？
　それがなければ満点です。

I was considering a dinner cruise, but after referring to other people's experiences, I chose the cocktail cruise. I was a bit anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but it turned out to be a great decision. The sunset from the coast is beautiful, but watching the sunset from the cruiser while feeling the thrill of the ride was exceptionally stunning. Thanks to the cheerful and high-energy crew and the other foreign guests, the atmosphere was great, and I had a wonderful time.

ディナークルーズにしようかと思ってましたが、他の方の体験談を参照し、カクテルクルーズを選択しました。
楽しめるか少し不安でしたが、結果は大正解でした。海岸からのサンセットも綺麗ですが、クルーザーの疾走感とともに海の上から観るサンセットはまた格別に綺麗でした。陽気でハイテンションなクルーや他の外国人客のおかげて、雰囲気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。

The photo service was supposed to be included, but it was not reflected in the organizer's list, and I was asked to pay for the photos.

The parking ticket is paid at the end when exiting, but please note that the payment method is only by credit card.

The show was very nice and had a great atmosphere by the sea.

Photo service がincluded のはずなのに、主催者側のリストに反映されておらず、写真代を要求されました。

駐車券は最後に出庫時に払いますが、支払方法はクレジットカードのみでしたので注意が必要です。

ショーは、とても素敵で海の側で雰囲気もありました。

The luau is just average. The show portion of the luau is in a "theater" type setting making it seem removed from the luau. The food was ok. They did try hard to accommodate my food allergy and prepared a separate plate for me.

Great sunset sail. Music was awesome and views were even more amazing. Captain and bartender were also equally amazing which made out sail even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and do this again on my next trip. Worth every penny.

Had so much fun at this show and the good was great!

The itinerary includes departing, cruising towards Diamond Head for a while, turning back, waiting in front of the Hilton, and then the fireworks start. The fireworks last about 10 minutes. The sequence is as follows: beach docking. They say that "Mai Tai" is easy to make, and they keep saying "Mai Tai, Mai Tai!" The only soft drink available is canned pineapple. By the way, we were the only Japanese people there. None of the crew spoke Japanese. It might be fun for those who understand English.

内容としては出航→ダイヤモンドヘッド方面へしばらくクルーズ→折り返し→ヒルトン前で待機→花火開始　花火は１０分程度で終わり→船着きビーチの順です。飲み物は「マイタイ」が簡単に作れるらしく「マイタイ、マイタイ！」と言ってきます。ソフトドリンクは缶のパイナップルのみ。ちなみに日本人は私達だけでした。クルーも日本語は全員ダメ。英語が分かる人は楽しいかもね。

We had the best time. The crew was great and we met some good friends. We will definitely be doing this again.

Not like it was 28 years ago. You are distanced fron dancers by stadium seating. Imu pig was good but the rest of the food was jusr adequate. Show wasn't spectular either.

It was great. The food options were incredible. Vegan menu items were a bonus. It was a fun, entertaining evening in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed the family feeling.

Were initially concerned when we saw the cat and number of people going on the cruise however once on board there was ample room. We both had great time the cruise was smooth and fireworks excellent, the crew entertaining and efficient certainly looked after everyone on board. Would recommend it if you want to experience something a little different and have some fun. May not appeal to everyone as there was a bit of drinking but nothing offensive. Well done!

I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.

いろいろなルアウショーを体験しましたが、ここのルアウショーはちょっと寂しかったです。間延びした構成で、フラの合間のバンド演奏が多かった。食事は６０点。途中で帰ったので、もしかしたら後半で盛り上がったのかもしれないですね。

The sunset sail was a great way to end our week on Oahu. Fun crew, great drinks, beautiful sunset and gorgeous views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. They gave us a great suggestion for dinner after the sail as well. Thanks for the making our final night so memorable.

Saw the chief in 1985 at PCC. Loved his wit & charm then. So glad he has come so far. Still as great as ever. Was touched by the couples dancing & Make a Wish kids. Would recommend this smaller luau to everyone!!
Thank you, Chief!

I had originally booked standard seats, but on the day of the show, I was able to upgrade to better seats for an additional fee. I'm glad I did, as it was great to see the performance from a good spot. The story was easy to follow, and I thoroughly enjoyed the various dances. The buffet was delicious too! Next time, I hope to spend a whole day here.

スタンダードの席で申し込んでいましたが、当日ショーの座席だけ追加料金でアップグレードすることができました。せっかくなので、良い席で見れて良かったです。
ストーリーも分かりやすく、いろいろなダンスが楽しめて大満足でした。
ビュッフェも美味しかったです！次回は丸1日こちらで遊びたいなと思いました。

I experienced this on the same day I arrived in Hawaii.

First, the meeting point was hard to find (there are quite a few similar boats), so I walked quite a bit on Waikiki Beach. You enter the water when boarding. There is a risk of sandals without heels being swept away (a child's sandal was lost).

With unlimited drinks and loud music, I thought it might be a young crowd, but families with children were also there, and other guests were friendly and chatted with us (though it might depend on the boat). We had a great time. There were no other Japanese people besides us.

Although it's always summer in Hawaii, the night cruise was cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.

I was hesitant to use the restroom, but I couldn't hold it due to the cold and ended up using it. It's an interesting restroom that you enter by going down a ladder. It's very cramped, and I didn't know how to lock it. It wasn't too dirty, and the smell wasn't bothersome.

The fireworks viewed from the sea were exceptional. The night view was also very beautiful, but the ocean was pitch dark.

Next time, I would like to try the sunset cruise as well.

ハワイに到着したその日に体験しました。
まず、集合場所がわかりづらく（同じような船がけっこうある）ワイキキビーチをかなり歩きました。乗船する際に海に入ります。かかとのないサンダルは流される危険ありです（子供のサンダルが流されました。）
お酒飲み放題で音楽がガンガンかかっていて、若者のノリかとも思いましたが、子連れファミリーでもほかのお客さんが気さくに話しかけてくれたり（その時の船によるでしょうが）、とても楽しめました。日本人は私たち以外にはいませんでした。
常夏のハワイですが、ナイトクルーズは寒かったです。上着を持つことをお勧めします。
トイレはなるべく使用したくないな～と思っていましたが、冷えのせいか我慢できず使用しました。梯子を下りて入る面白いトイレです。とにかく狭い。鍵のかけかたがわからない。それほど汚くはなくにおいも気になりませんでした。
海から見る花火は格別でした。夜景もとてもきれいでしたが、海は真っ暗です。
次回はサンセットクルーズも乗ってみたいです。

I thought my aunt, who teaches dance, would really like this, so I signed up. The meal was a buffet, so I didn't have high expectations, but it was actually quite good. They piled a lot of big crab on my plate, but I couldn't finish it.

The show was mesmerizing, with a handsome guy and a lovely woman. The dancers had beautifully toned bodies. The story was easy to understand, and my aunt was so moved that she teared up.

I'm really glad I participated, and I would love to see it again if I have the chance. However, next time I will dress warmly. It was incredibly cold while watching the show, and I was shivering. I couldn't even enjoy the complimentary ice cream...

ダンスを教えている叔母が好きそうだなと思い申し込みました。
食事はブッフェなので、あまり期待せずにいきましたが、全然悪くなかったです。大きな蟹をお皿にたくさん盛ってくれましたが、食べ切れませんでした。

ショーは、イケメンのお兄さんと可愛らしい女性にうっとりしました。ダンサーたちの鍛え上げられた肉体はとても美しかったです。ストーリーは分かりやすく、感極まった叔母は涙ぐんでいました。

参加して本当に良かったし、機会があればまた見たいです。ただ、次に行くときは厚着していきます。ショーを見ている間、ものすごく寒くて震えながら見ました。サービスのアイスは食べられませんでした…。

We were told that going to Hawaii we had to go to a luau and we were not disappointed at all! The staff at chiefs luau were absolutely amazing, the food was fantastic but the overall experience is something we'll never forget. Thank you so much for a one of a kind and magical experience. I don't have enough good things to say, just do it!!

I was worried about the weather, but even if it rained during this time, it stopped quickly (raincoats were provided). The sunset behind the stage was very beautiful. There were many participants due to Christmas, but the seats were close, allowing us to fully enjoy the show. The show was authentic and very impressive.

天気が心配でしたが、この時期は雨が降ってもすぐにやみました（カッパが配られました。）
舞台のバックでは夕景が非常にきれいでした。
クリスマスで非常に参加者が多かったですが、席も近くショウを堪能できました。
ショウは本格的で見ごたえ十分です。

On our first trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, we went there on the night we arrived. It was a buffet-style all-you-can-eat and drink, so even with our limited English, we were able to enjoy the meal and the show without any stress!

初めてハワイ島旅行で、到着した夜に行きました。ビュッフェスタイルの飲み放題食べ放題だったので、英語が出来ない私たちでもストレスなく食事とショーが楽しめました♪

I'm glad we were able to visit all the main sightseeing spots on the all-day tour. The atmosphere at the Polynesian Cultural Center was enjoyable, with the students providing explanations.

一日中のツアーで一通りの観光スポットを回れてよかったです。
ポリネシア文化センターでは学生さんたちが説明してくれて楽しい雰囲気でした。

The sunset/cocktail cruise was a blast. Captain and ship mate were great. Made the trip fun and exciting!! Got some great shots of the beach from the boat and the sunset was AMAZING! So cool seeing it from atop the deep blue. Definitely recommend it for a fun night away from the hustle bustle of Waikiki. Great bang for you buck!! (try the maitai with champagne...but be careful...they are dangerous!)

If you don't have a rental car, I recommend a tour that includes transportation! I also tried to go by bus, but the hotel staff stopped me, haha. The guided tour on-site was great! The night show was also moving!! It was absolutely fun with no complaints!!

レンタカーなどがない方は送迎込みのツアーがオススメです！
私もバスで向かおうとしたところ、ホテルの方に止められました笑
現地ではガイドさん付きのツアーがよかったです！ナイトショーも感動ものでした！！文句なしで楽しかったです！！

We went to this luau with our two adult daughters. It was such a beautiful place to explore! We were able to walk around and take pictures. The dinner was good and nicely displayed. There was a little of something for everyone to like. The show was very good and entertaining. It got a little hard to sit for that long on the forward slanted seating though. I would recommend for a fun night.

The sunset was cool.
After dark I enjoyed the Hawaii skyline even more.
Need to figure out a better flow through the buffet line. The people were entering the buffet area form both sides which caused confusion and not a lot of area to move around in.

I had a blast. I would recommend this boat in a heartbeat and would do it again next time I come.

The atmosphere of cruising while enjoying the breeze on the rooftop deck was fantastic. However, the air conditioning on the second floor was too strong, making it quite cold and not very comfortable for a long stay, so I recommend bringing a jacket for those participating. I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. This time, I happened to choose the fireworks viewing plan, but there was over two hours between sunset and the fireworks, which made the waiting feel tedious and tiring. Ultimately, I think a plan without fireworks viewing would have been better. Next time, I would like to board with a plan that doesn't include fireworks viewing.

屋上デッキで風を浴びながらのクルーズの雰囲気は最高でした。
ただ、２Ｆフロアーはクーラーがききすぎて、寒く、とても長居できないので、参加される方は、上着持参されたほうが良いと思います。
料理はそんなに期待しないほうが良いと思います。
今回たまたま花火鑑賞プランを選びましたが、サンセットから花火までの時間が２時間以上あるので、途中時間を弄び、逆に疲れました。
結果的には、花火鑑賞がついてないプランの方が良かったと思います。
次回は、花火鑑賞付きプラン以外で乗船したいと思います。
