All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The show lasted about an hour and a half, but during that time, I didn't get bored at all; I thought it was genuinely fun. The food was all-you-can-eat, so there was plenty of it. I think the taste suits Japanese people as well. Japanese guests were in the minority, though...

ショーは、1時間半くらいでしたが、その間飽きたりせず、普通に(純粋に)楽しいと思います。食事は、食べほなので量は十分あります。味も日本人にも合っていると思います。日本人客は、少数派ですね…

The food to the show it was outstanding Hyatt Regency knows how to do it

I attended the Waikiki Luau Hawaiian Show! ✨ Since I had a VIP seat, I was very close to the stage and could see the dancers' powerful performances and expressions clearly, which made me very satisfied. The fire dance was particularly amazing and left the biggest impression on me during the show. The spins and the intensity of the performance exceeded my expectations, and the entire venue was buzzing with excitement.

The buffet didn't have an overwhelming variety, but each dish was delicious, especially the whole roasted pig, which was very tasty.

Additionally, the layout required us to pass between seats to reach the exit, and there were times when people sitting on the aisle were unaware and remained seated comfortably, making it a bit difficult to get through.

Overall, the staff was courteous, and I felt at ease enjoying my first Hawaiian show. Experiencing Hawaiian music and dance up close made for a wonderful time that will be a memorable part of my trip. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere in Waikiki! 🌺

ワイキキルアウ ハワイアンショーに参加してきました！✨
VIP席だったのでステージがとても近く、ダンサーさんの迫力や表情までしっかり見えて大満足でした。特にファイヤーダンスが本当にすごくて、今回のショーで1番印象に残りました🔥 回転やパフォーマンスの迫力が想像以上で、会場全体も大盛り上がりでした。

ビュッフェは品数が多いという感じではないですが、その分ひとつひとつが美味しく、特に丸ごと豚のローストがとても美味しかったです。

また、席と席の間を通らないと出口に出られない構造になっているのですが、通路側にいても気づかずにゆったり座ったままの方もいて、通りづらいタイミングがあったのは少し気になりました。

全体的にはスタッフの対応も丁寧で、初めてのハワイアンショーでも安心して楽しめました。ハワイらしい音楽やダンスを間近で体験できて、旅行の思い出に残る素敵な時間になりました。ワイキキでハワイ気分を満喫したい方におすすめです🌺

It wasn't very large, so I was able to explore it on foot.

There were things I wanted to try that I had caught a glimpse of when I had a guide before. I wanted to get a tattoo (there are different designs in Tahiti and Fiji, and sometimes they are not available when you want to do it later), try out an outrigger canoe (it was a smaller area than I expected), watch the haka at a New Zealand show, go fishing (no one caught anything, but it was still fun), and take photos with the villagers. I was able to do all of that.

I also went to a show in Samoa, and the fire knife performance seemed interesting, so I checked it out. The first 15 minutes inside the building was a talk (it was in English, so I didn't understand much), and then everyone was told to go outside! So, the juggling with fire sticks began in the garden, and it might be better to wait outside instead of rushing to get a good seat inside from the start.

It was peaceful, and everyone was kind; I had a wonderful experience.

However, regarding the video data worth $22.50, even after scanning the QR code I received, it just says "processing." I've inquired about it, but even after more than two weeks, it hasn't been sent, so I'm not sure what it is.

それほど広くないので徒歩で十分見て回れました

以前ガイドさんがついてくれた時にチラ見してやってみたいなと思っていたこと
タトゥー（タヒチとフィジーとで柄に違いがある、やっている時とやっていない時があるので後でやろうと思うとできないことがある）アウトリガーカヌー（思ったより狭い範囲だった）、ニュージーランドのショーでハカを観る、釣り（やっぱり誰も釣れないけど楽しい）、村人たちとの写真撮影　等全部できました

サモアでのショー、ファイヤーナイフも面白そうなので行ってみました
建物の中で前半15分はお話（英語なのであまりわからず）その後みんな外へ出ろ♪
ということで庭で火のついた棒のジャグリングが始まるので急いで最初から建物の中の
いい席を取ろうとしないで外で待っていた方がいいかもしれません

のどかでみんなやさしく、楽しい経験ができました

ただ、２２．５ドル相当のビデオデータというのが、いただいたQRコードを読み取っても
只今処理中というばかりで　問い合わせしていますが２週間以上経っても送られてこないのでどういう物なのか不明です

Everyone I met locally was praising it. Since this was my sixth time, including trips to Japan and abroad, I wasn't as moved as others, but considering the weather wasn't great, I still felt it was worth going. I think it would be better to include such fun activities at night, not just hula and fire dancing.

現地で知り合った人達のすべてが、絶賛してました。
私は日本や海外を含めて6度目でしたので、そこまでの感動はありませんでしたが、
天候に恵まれなかったことも含め、行って良かったと思いました。
フラとファイヤーダンスだけで無く、こんな楽しみも夜に入れたほうが良いとは思います

It was a very impressive and worthwhile show, just as the reviews said. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. I think the seats in the front and back offer a good view of the whole performance since the venue is quite small. It was completely full, showing how popular it is. I was seated to the side, so my neck got tired.

口コミ通り迫力のある見応えのあるとても良いショーでした。ぜひ一度は見る価値ありますね。前方後ろのほうが全体がよく見えていい席だと思います。会場はこじんまりしているので。満席でした。スゴイ人気なんですね。私は横前だったので首が疲れました。

The Te Au Moana Luau at the Wailea Marriott was a wonderful way to celebrate New Year’s Day in Maui. The oceanfront setting was beautiful, especially at sunset, and the premium seating gave us a great view of the entire stage and performances.

Chief’s Luau was an incredible and lively Polynesian cultural experience from start to finish, with the fire knife dancing as the highlight!

Each village offered something unique, with engaging demonstrations, performances, and friendly staff who shared their traditions and stories.

The buffet offered a good variety of dishes, and the Polynesian show was entertaining and lively, adding a fun cultural touch to the cruise!

The Mauka Warriors Luau was an incredible Christmas Eve experience and a great way to celebrate in Hawaii.

The Old Lahaina Luau was an unforgettable evening and one of the best cultural experiences in Maui.

The dinner had a good variety of traditional Hawaiian foods, and the staff was welcoming and organized from start to finish

Watching the sunset over Waikiki from the water was beautiful and relaxing.

The buffet dinner had a nice variety of food, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the Polynesian show was entertaining and energetic.

The buffet and the traditional hula and luau show were amazing. I went alone, so I was a bit worried at first, but everyone sitting next to me was Japanese, and we enjoyed the meal while watching the show together. It was a really great night!

ビュッフェと伝統的なフラとルアウのショーでは最高でした
一人で行ったから、最初はちょっと心配してましたが
隣に座っていた方は全員日本の方で一緒にショーを見ながら、食事を楽しんでました
凄くいい夜でした！

The atmosphere was nice and I had a great time! It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't see the performers from my seat. The food was average...

雰囲気が良く楽しめました！
演奏者が見える席ではなかったので、少し残念でした。
お料理は、普通です…

The buffet food was delicious, and after going around once, I was completely full and very satisfied, including the desserts. The hula on stage was wonderful, and the intensity of the fire dance was especially impressive. I felt that the power of the fire dance increased even more with multiple performers.

ビュッフェの料理はどれも美味しく、デザートも含め一周したらお腹いっぱいで大満足でした。
ステージのフラも素敵でとくにファイヤーダンスの迫力は凄かったです。複数人でのファイヤーダンスだとさらに迫力が増すなと感じました。

This was a new Luau experience for us. It was a buffet but set up like food trucks. the hands on activities were good and the entertainment was really fun. I like that there is a Luau available in the Ko'Olina area that is not affiliated with a hotel and walkable from the resorts.

As expected from Cirque du Soleil, the content is impressive. I've seen several shows in Japan, but Auwana offers a different kind of emotion. The venue is more compact compared to those in Japan, allowing for a great view of the performers' expressions from the golden seats. Plus, the location in Waikiki is fantastic!

流石シルクドソレイユの内容です。
日本での公園は複数回みましたが、アウアナはまた違った感動があります。
会場は日本に比べてコンパクトなため、ゴールデンシートは演者さんの表情まで良くわかります。ワイキキ内のため立地も最高！

Delicious meals that make your taste buds dance.
People from various countries participate, and you can enjoy the buffet without any issues.
Both the meat and desserts were delicious!

美味しい食事に舌鼓。
色々な国の方が参加されますが、
問題なくビュッフェを堪能できます。
お肉もデザートも美味でした！

I attended the show with my family of five, including my one-year-old grandchild. Fortunately, we were able to sit in the front row and fully enjoy the powerful stage performance. Even without understanding English, the atmosphere and the performance were more than enough. The excitement was so overwhelming that my grandchild's diaper was quite a mess, and I thought that once they are a bit older, I would like to take them again.

1歳の孫を含め、家族5名で観覧しました。
幸運なことに最前列に座ることができ、大迫力のステージを堪能することが出来ました。
英語がわからなくても、その雰囲気とパフォーマンスで十分でした。
あまりの迫力で孫のおむつが大変なことになっており、もう少し大きくなったら、再度、
連れて行ってあげようと思いました。

In addition to traditional Hawaiian hula and Polynesian dance, the show beautifully blends performances by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, creating a great balance of "culture + entertainment."

The fire dance in the latter half is particularly stunning and honestly the most exciting point of the show. The structure actively engages the audience, ensuring that everyone can enjoy it without getting bored until the very end.

Moreover, the venue is centrally located in Waikiki, making it easily accessible. The opportunity to take photos with the cast after the show adds to the overall satisfaction of the experience. It's impressive how the show is designed not just for viewing, but to create lasting memories.

ハワイ伝統のフラやポリネシアンダンスに加えて、エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのパフォーマンスが融合していて、「文化＋エンタメ」のバランスがかなり良いショーだった。

特に後半のファイヤーダンスは圧巻で、正直ここが一番テンション上がるポイント。
観客をしっかり巻き込む構成になっていて、飽きずに最後まで楽しめる。

また、会場がワイキキ中心でアクセスが良く、ショー後にキャストと写真が撮れるなど、体験としての満足度も高い。
単なる鑑賞ではなく「思い出として残る設計」がされているのが印象的。

The dancers and musicians were fantastic! Food and service was great!

The wind was strong inside the boat, and it was cold even with a jacket on, but the night view, the moon, and the fireworks were very beautiful. It was worth participating, and I would like to ride again.

船内は風が強く上着着用しても寒かったけど、夜景や月や花火はとてもよく見えて、参加して，価値があった。また乗りたいです。

My wife and I, a couple with a combined age of 145 years, had our first experience at the luau in Ko Olina. Since we participated from Waikiki, we requested transportation. On the bus, there were six of us in total: my wife and I, along with two other couples. The staff member who accompanied us explained everything using the live translation device that my husband had brought, which was reassuring for us since we don't understand English.

The meal was served not as a buffet, but rather we received one plate at a time from the staff, which we placed on our trays. We finished every dish, and the flavors were gentle and delightful. After finishing our meal, the luau started right on time, and it was completely different from any luau we had seen before; it had a storyline. I was a bit busy following the text with the live translation while watching the performance. I saw a female fire dancer for the first time, and time flew by so quickly. Lastly, thank you to the female driver for your safe driving!

It was an experience that you can't easily have in Japan, where you could witness the action right in front of you and feel the breath and sharp movements up close. Moreover, it was just a five-minute walk to the hotel after the show, which was a unique aspect of being in Hawaii.

なかなか、日本では体験できない、目の前でのアクションで、息遣いやシャープな動きを目の当たりで体験できました。
なお、ショーが終わって5分で、ホテルでしたので、ハワイならではでした。

First off. This was an adult only, open bar sunset cruise. I have been on quite a few of these in the past. This cruise they didn’t even play the music up at all and there was little to no energy from the crew. And they ran out of white claws… Would not book again from this company.

The sunset itself was incredibly beautiful and had an extraordinary feel to it, but it was different from the sunset cruise I had imagined.

On the day we participated, as we headed out to sea, the waves and wind were intense (I didn't feel it when I was by the beach; the weather was clear), and the boat rocked so much that I thought it might capsize. The splashes were just overwhelming! Those at the front of the boat were getting drenched from head to toe (there was a prior announcement warning that the front would get wet), and even those of us sitting further back got splashed several times and ended up completely soaked.

Although drinks were unlimited, the rocking of the boat and the splashes made it hard to enjoy them after a while.

Thanks to the loud EDM music (?), it turned into a crazy experience typical of overseas adventures, but it was a far cry from what I had envisioned; it felt more like a tough pirate experience. I would recommend it for younger, party-loving people. Those who get seasick, are looking for a romantic atmosphere, or are with children or seniors might want to skip it.

I believe it also depends on the weather and the captain's driving, so I hope this can serve as a reference as a personal experience. Thank you!

サンセット自体はすごく綺麗に見え、非日常感もありましたが、イメージしていたサンセットクルーズとは違いました。。

私たちが参加した日は、沖に出ていくにつれとにかく波風がすごくて(海辺にいた時は感じませんでした。天気も晴天です)、船が転覆するのでは？というくらい揺れましたし、波飛沫がとにかくすごい！！！船のヘッドにいた方たちは頭から絶えず水をかぶるレベルで濡れていましたし(ヘッドは濡れるので注意してね！というアナウンスは事前にありましたが)、前の方に座っていた私たちも何度か頭から水を被り全身びっしょ濡れに、、、
飲み放題ですが、船の揺れと飛沫がすごいので途中からそれどころじゃなくなりました。

EDMがガンガンに流れていたおかげで(？)、海外らしいクレイジーな体験ということである意味思い出にはなりましたが、イメージしていたものとは程遠い過酷なパイレーツ体験でした。
おすすめは若くてパリピな方かな。
船酔いする方や、ロマンティックな雰囲気を求めている方、子供連れやシニアの方はやめておいた方がいいです。

当日の天候や船長の運転にもよるとは思うので、一体験談として参考にしていただけると幸いです。ありがとうございました！

The venue was compact, so I could see well. The performance was very Hawaiian and I was moved. I would like to see it again when I come back to Waikiki.

会場がコンパクトだったので、よく見えました。ハワイらしい演目で感動しました。
またワイキキへ来たら見たいです。
