All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I wanted to see the fireworks from the seaside on Friday, so I participated. The ship was fully booked, and the buffet guests and lobster dinner guests were on the same floor. Buffet guests could quickly grab their food and leave, but those having the lobster dinner had to wait for their meals to be served, which took quite a bit of time.

The ship isn't that large, so even without a window seat, there was plenty of opportunity to see the outside scenery, which was nice. I was told that the window seats were fully booked, so I couldn't request one, but I was lucky enough to have a window seat.

When asked if I would go again, I think I would prefer to go to a restaurant at the Hilton to watch the fireworks instead. I think once is enough for me.

海側から金曜日の花火が見たいと思い、参加しました。船内は満席で、ビュッフェの人とロブスターディナーの人が同じフロアでした。
ビュッフェの人は早く取って、食べて出ていけるのですが、ロブスターディナーの人は料理が運ばれてくるのを待つしかなく・・・結構、時間がかかります。
船はそれほど大きくないので、無理して窓側指定しなくても十分、外の景色が見えて、良い感じでした。うちは窓側が満席ですと言われて指定できなかったんですが、運良く窓側の席でした。
次また行くかと言われると、ヒルトンのレストランに行って、花火を見る方がいいかなと思っています。
1回行けば満足かなと思います。

Got a second email to do a review !! Lmao had a great time would totally do it again

The cruise was very nice. On time arrival. Great seating. Amazing bartender!! captain dave was a fun!! Really enjoyed the take home cups!!

It was so beautiful when the fireworks started on the water.We had a great time on boat.

FANTASTIC!!!It was so nice when arriving and she was there greeting us.

This was for my oldest sister when she arrived to meet up with our other sister who is working in Hawaii for two weeks.
I had gotten this lei greeting when I visited and it made me fall in love with the islands.
I wanted to share it with her too. The smile on her face in the picture I was sent was magical. The happiest smile I've seen on her in 20 years.
Mahalo for granting her that happiness.

Excellent! There were 12 of us in our group & we all enjoyed it . The food & entertainment were superb.

I had high expectations, so I was left with a somewhat disappointing impression. However, I recommend it for those who have seen regular Hawaiian shows several times and want to experience a slightly different atmosphere. Even from the second-floor seats, you could see everything up close with the naked eye!

あまりにも期待しすぎていたのでイマイチな印象でしたが、普通のハワイアンショーを何度か見ていてちょっと違った雰囲気を味わいたい方にはオススメです。２階席でも十分肉眼で見ることの出来る近さでした！

My wife and I went for our anniversary and loved every minute of it. It's great to get out on the water in the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. The crew was very inviting and polite and friendly. The food was great and the drinks as well. Will be coming back to experience it again on Friday so we can see the fireworks as well!

This time, Celine was there. It was so wonderful that I was moved to tears. Michael was smaller than the person who appeared last time. The quality is high, but unlike the impersonators in Japan, the scale is different. It was moving.

今回はセリーヌがいました。とてもすばらしくて感動して涙が出ました。マイケルは前回出ていた方より小柄になってました。クオリティーは高いですが。
日本のそっくりさんと違ってスケールが違います。感動です。

Beautiful garden and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very welcoming and made our experience very pleasurable. The food and drinks were exquisite, enjoyed the beef teriyaki! They put on a great show at the end! Thank you and would love to visit again!

Very nice Luau. Very entertaining. They provided activities for children. The food was very good.

Great food and show. The fire knife performer was our favorite!

The view of Waikiki from the sea was great. The sunset was perfect. There were more foreigners than Japanese people, and everyone was really lively. On the boat, we all felt like friends together.

良かった海から見るワイキキ。夕陽もバッチリ。日本人より外国の方の方が多く、とってもノリが良かったです。船の上では一体感で皆お友達でした。

Among the many optional sunset tours, we chose this catamaran to fully enjoy the sunset. During our previous dinner cruise on a passenger ship, we couldn't fully enjoy the sunset due to the meal and show, so this time we decided on this without hesitation.
On the boat we boarded, there were mostly foreigners, with only two Japanese people. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and while we mostly talked as a couple, a group of students engaged us in conversation, creating a very friendly atmosphere thanks to the effects of the drinks. We felt the sea breeze all over and thoroughly enjoyed the sunset.
I would love to take this tour again when I visit Oahu.

サンセットのオプショナルツアーは、たくさんある中、サンセットを満喫したいとこのカタマラン号を選びました。前回客船のディナークルーズでは、食事とショーでサンセットを満喫できなっかたので、今回は、迷わずこちらにしました。
私たちの乗った船は、外国人ばかりで、日本人は、二人だけ。お酒は飲み放題で、夫婦で話をするばかりでしたが、学生のグループが声をかけてくれたりとお酒の効果でとても和やかな雰囲気でした。海風を全身に感じ、サンセットもバッチリ満喫しました。
又、オアフに行ったら乗りたいと思います。

Unlike large ships, my daughter was thrilled by the occasional splashes of waves. There was a rainbow, and she was so captivated by the scenery that she even forgot to drink.

On the way to the meeting point, we walked along the coast from the Outrigger Reef area, but we got soaked along the way. I recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting wet when participating.

大きな船と違い、時々くる波しぶきに娘が大喜びしてました。虹がでていたり、周りの景色に夢中で飲むのも忘れてしまいました。
集合場所に行くまでに、アウトリガーリーフ方面から海沿いを歩いて行ったのですが、途中で早くもずぶ濡れになりました。参加するときは濡れてもいい格好がおすすめです。

Sailing with the wind after turning off the engine, and the beautiful sunset was magnificent. A cruise while drinking a chilled beer is the best.

エンジンを止めた後の風に乗ったセーリング、そして美しい夕焼けは見事なものでした。
冷えたビールを飲みながらのクルーズは最高です。

Loved the cruise. The food was good and service was on point. My girlfriend had an allergic reaction to something in food. We were blown away by the response the crew had and they took care of us. Overall we had a great time and plan to do it again in the future.

Loved everything about the cultural center. The food was amazing at the luau and the show was breath taking. Our Veltra reservations were easy to make and worked perfectly

I participated at the recommendation of a friend who lived in Hawaii. From the moment we boarded, getting splashed by the waves was exciting. There was an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, Chardonnay, and beer. A cheerful and handsome guy served drinks and kept the atmosphere lively. It felt like a party with people of various nationalities enjoying the catamaran together. The beautiful sunset and ocean really elevated the mood. I highly recommend this for couples, families, or friends visiting Waikiki.

ハワイに住んでいた友達に勧められて参加。乗船から波に濡れてそれがまたワクワク。マイタイ、シャルドネ、ビール飲み放題。陽気でイケメンのお兄さんが飲み物をサーブして盛り上げる。色んなナショナリティの人たちがカタマランに乗ってひとときのパーティーを楽しんでる感じ。美しい夕日と海が気分を最高に盛り上げてくれる。カップルはもちろん家族でも友達同士でもワイキキに行くなら是非おすすめです。

We had the nicest man greet us at HNL, so helpful and friendly. It was the perfect way to start a nice Hawaiian vacation!

Perfect night! Great cruise ship, the crew was wonderful and entertaining. Also, the food was delicious!

It took a little time before departure, but more importantly, once we boarded the boat, the staff made it fun and enjoyable. Inside the boat, we took off our shoes and went wherever we liked to enjoy the scenery and the breeze. Drinks and food were provided, and until the fireworks started, there was background music playing. The staff frequently checked on our drinks and brought them to us, and they also came around with desserts. The fireworks lasted about five minutes, but the view of the star-filled sky against the dark backdrop and the pleasant breeze were wonderful.

出発まで少し時間がかかりましたが、そんなことより
船に乗りスタッフさんが盛り上げてくれ楽しく過ごせましたよ
船内は、靴を脱ぎ入ると好きなとこに行って景色、風を楽しみました
ドリンクと食事が用意されていて花火が始まるまでBGM が流れスタッフさんが
よくドリンクを聞いて持ってきてくれたり 、デザートも持って回ってきてくれました
花火は5分ぐらいで終わりましたが、真っ暗な空から満点の星、風が良かったです

The service from the dinner table attendant was great (^ ^) Thanks to that, I had a fun and delicious dinner time.

ディナーのテーブル担当ボーイの接客が良かった(^ ^) おかげさまで楽しく、美味しくディナータイムを過ごせました。

I stayed at the Courtyard King Kamehameha Hotel. The show takes place at this hotel.

We were supposed to gather at 5:00 PM, but when we arrived, there was a long line in the hallway next to the lobby. I recommend arriving early for check-in, as being late in line can affect your meal time later. If you pay a special fee, you can get seats closer to the front and don’t have to wait as long.

When you line up, they will ask if you want a flower lei or a shell lei. The shell lei is free, while the flower lei comes at a cost. We exchanged shell leis with each other. After that, we exchanged our vouchers for tickets and headed to the venue.

Once we arrived at the venue, soothing Hawaiian music was playing continuously. We waited at our seats until everyone was at their tables. Drinks are self-serve near the entrance. Adults can have beer or mai tais, while children only get red cranberry juice. My 10-year-old child was not allowed to have that. At the same time, there was an introduction to about five traditional games, where you could decorate your face and feet with stamps. Participation in these activities was optional.

Afterward, there was a hula dance lesson, and explanations about traditional dishes, such as meat wrapped in banana leaves and steamed, along with about 30 minutes of free time. Hawaiian music continued to play during this time. About an hour after entering, King Kamehameha finally arrived from the sea.

After that, it was finally time for dinner, but we had to go up to the buffet in order from the front tables. However, we couldn’t go up freely. They called each table, so we had to wait at least 30 minutes after the first table was called. My 10-year-old fell asleep without eating, despite being hungry, as it took a long time for our table to be called.

Desserts, coffee, and tea were available. Just when I thought we could return to our room after finishing our meal, the show finally began. The show featured Hawaiian dances and a fire show, which were quite good, but it took a considerable amount of time to get to the meal and to watch the show. You really need to have a relaxed mindset and plenty of time, or else you might end up feeling exhausted.

The Hawaiian music was very pleasant, and my two sons and husband dozed off, swaying their heads during the crucial part of the show. It ended at 8:30 PM. I think it’s a show more suited for adults. My 10-year-old ultimately didn’t wake up and managed to eat a packed meal of chicken nuggets, fries, white rice, and meat after we returned to the room. It’s a show aimed at older audiences rather than children.

コートヤードキングカメハメハホテルに宿泊してました。ショーはこのホテルで行われます。
１７:００集合でしたが、行くとロビー横の廊下に長蛇の列ができてました。
後のことも考えると受付には早くいくことをお勧めします。並ぶのが遅いと、後々食事時間に影響します。
特別料金を払うと前の方の席になり、あまり並ぶ必要もありません。
並ぶと順番に対応してくれますが、花のレイか貝殻のレイか聞かれます。貝殻は無料で花のレイ有料です。お互いに貝殻のレイをかけあいました。
その後バウチャーをチケットにかえ、入場する会場に向かいます。
会場につくとず～っとゆったりとしたハワイアンミュージックが演奏されています。全員がテーブルにつくまで、席に座って待ちます。飲み物は入口の近くに自分でとりにいきます。大人はビールやマイタイが提供され、子どもは赤いクランベリージュースのみです。１０歳の子供はそれがダメでした。それと同時に５種類くらいの昔の遊びや顔や足にスタンプのような飾りをつけたりと伝統的な昔の遊びの紹介があります。それに参加するかどうかは自由です。その後フラダンスのレッスンがあつたり、伝統的な料理、バナナの皮に肉を包んで蒸すなどの説明があったり、３０分くらいの自由な時間があります。その間もハワイアンミュージックがずっとかかってます。入場して一時間くらい経つとようやく海からカメハメハ大王が陸に上陸してきます。
それが終わるとようやく食事ですが、前方の席から順番によぱれ食事(ビュッフェ)を取りにいきます。でも自由には取りにいけないのです。テーブルごとによばれるので、とにかく最初のテーブルの人たちが呼ばれてからもさいてい３０分は待ちました。１０歳の子供は、ゆったりとしたミュージックと昼のシュノーケリングでとうとうご飯を食べずに寝てしまいました。お腹がへっているのに、なかなか順番は来ず、自分のテーブルの順番を待ってやっとご飯を食べました。
デザートコーヒー紅茶はあります。
御飯が食べ終わってもう部屋に帰ってもいいんじゃないのと思う頃にようやくショーが始まりました。ショーはハワイアンダンスにファイヤーショーがあったりなかなかよかったですが、とにかく食事にありつくのにも、ショーを見るのにも時間がかなりかかり、心と時間にかなりゆとりをもたないと、逆に疲れてしまいました。
ハワイアンミュージックはとても心地よく、息子二人と旦那もウトウト肝心のショーの時には、
頭が揺れてました。終わりは20:30。大人が参加するショーかなと思います。
１０歳の子供は結局起きず、何とかチキンナゲットとポテト、白ご飯とお肉だけをいただいたパックに詰め込んで、部屋に戻ってから食べました。
子どもより年配の方々向けのショーです。

It was a wonderful surprise for my daughter and husband! Our Greeter was so sweet!

I went on the Friday Fireworks Sail in August 2016. I'd been on two sunset sails before and wanted to try something different. When we set off after sunset there was still enough light to see the coast clearly and everything looked a little magical in the twilight. As darkness fell the clouds were illuminated with a golden glow from the last rays of the Sun. The twinkling lights from Waikiki shone brightly as the cooling ocean breeze wafted gently across the boat. It was a serene experience. The climax of the trip is the fireworks display at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It only lasts a few minutes but you get a perfect view from the catamaran.

There are other sunset cruises, but I chose this simple tour focused on the sunset. The boarding was just a short distance from my hotel, the Sheraton, and about 35 people boarded. Before and after boarding, the cheerful staff provided explanations mixed with jokes, but I couldn't understand the content since I don't speak English, which was disappointing. I had heard that you need to bring your passport to be served alcohol, but even without it, there was an unlimited supply of Mai Tais. At first, I quietly sat in my seat, but as the boat moved along, the atmosphere became lively, and it felt like a very cheerful buffet party with everyone enjoying drinks. The sunset over the ocean was, of course, breathtaking, but unexpectedly, it started to rain lightly, and on the opposite side of the sunset, we were able to see a magnificent semicircular rainbow with multiple colors.

It was fun to feel the sense of unity as everyone on board was moved by the experience. The staff was incredibly cheerful, and I had a wonderful time. If I come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to join this cruise again.

サンセットクルーズは他にもありますが、サンセットに絞ってシンプルなこのツアーに参加しました。乗船は宿泊先のシェラトンからすぐで、３５人ほど乗り込みました。乗船前、乗船後に明るいスタッフがジョークをまじえた説明をしてくれましたが、英語がわかりませんので、内容がわからなかったのが残念。パスポートを持ってこないと、お酒は出せないようなことを聞いていたのですが、所持してなくてもマイタイ飲み放題でした。はじめはおとなしく席に座っていたのですが、船が進むにつれ、船上は盛り上がり、お酒も入ってとてもにぎやかな立食パーティのようでした。海の上からのサンセットはもちろん感動的ですばらしかったのですが、今回急に雨がぱらついて、夕日と反対がわに見事な半円の七色の虹を見ることができました。
船上でも、皆が感動しているのが一体感があって楽しかったです。スタッフはどこまでも明るく素敵な時間をすごせました。またハワイに来たら、ぜひ乗りたいです。

The crew members was really nice. We were running late and they waited for us. We saw an amazing sun set. Wish they had more variety on the alcohol.

It felt like it was normal to be significantly late for the meeting time, which didn't suit me as a Japanese person. The ship's captain and bartender had a good vibe and were nice.

集合時間を大幅に過ぎてもそれが当たり前のような感じだったので日本人の僕には合いませんでした。
船のキャプテンとバーテンダーはノリも良くいい感じでしたよ。
