All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The pickup was great, and the Japanese staff (students) provided very polite guidance, making it easy to participate. The night show was dynamic, but the kids got bored halfway through, so it might be more suitable for adults. It's a tour you should definitely experience at least once when you come to Hawaii!

ピックアップから園内と日本人スタッフ（学生）さんが大変丁寧に案内をしてくれて安心して参加出来ました♪夜のショーもダイナミックでしたが子供は途中で飽きてしまうので大人向きのツアーかな⁉ハワイに来たら一度は行くべきツアー
です◎

Since it was my first time, I think it was good to see it at least once. The food was average, but it was served quickly. The fire show was the most impressive.

はじめてだったので、一度は見ておいてよかったかたかと思います。
お料理は普通ですが、しまわれるのが早かった。
ファイアーショウが一番見応えがありました。

Honestly, it could not have been better! Everything was perfect!!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!

The title is a little confusing when booking the Friday sunset cocktail sail ...... kinda sounds like you're getting the fireworks at the end. Unfortunately, that's a totally different sail, but would have been nice. The sail kind of just goes back and forth between the Hilton and the Westin until sunset then goes in. I wasn't fond of the run drink they served, but it comes with the price. All in all, the captain and 1 person crew/bartender were accommodating. I would recommend it.

I read the reviews and everyone had such great things to say that I really wanted to participate, so I joined the Green Room Dinner Show monitor tour. Since our hotel was Aulani, a Disney Resort in the Ko Olina area, I was very grateful for the transportation provided to this location.

We left the hotel at 3:50 PM and, despite getting caught in quite a bit of traffic around Waikiki, we arrived at the venue around 5:20 PM. Since the entrance was at 6:00 PM, we had to wait about 40 minutes near the VIP entrance, which left us with some extra time, but once we got inside, we had a wonderful time.

First, only three groups of ten people were guided into the Green Room, where we were served cocktails and some snacks and fruits. We took photos with an Elvis impersonator who came to greet us (this photo was included in the tour price, and we also got Elvis's autograph after the show).

After that, the theater manager gave us a fun tour of the backstage and dressing rooms, and we even took photos on stage. We then joined the VIP tour group for dinner, and our seats were right up close to the stage, allowing us to enjoy a very powerful show.

The meal started with lobster, and the meat was tender, with the mashed potatoes as a side being very delicious. However, the mashed potatoes might have been a bit too much in quantity. I ordered a non-alcoholic Blue Hawaii drink, which was also tasty. The chocolate cake for dessert was very good, but it was a bit too sweet for us Japanese, making it hard to finish.

The show featured Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga. All three were excellent singers, and the performance was fantastic. The luau that took place between their shows was also of very high quality.

From start to finish, I had a truly enjoyable time and was very satisfied. At 9:40 PM, we were guided to the shuttle and taken back to the hotel. The people who provided the transportation and the woman who guided us to the venue were all very friendly and kind, making for a truly wonderful half-day experience, for which I am very grateful.

Next time I visit Hawaii (even if it's not a monitor tour), I definitely want to participate again.

レビューを読ませていただき皆さんの評判がとても良かったのでぜひ参加したいと思いグリーンルーム・ディナーショーのモニターツアーに参加させて頂きました。
今回私たちは滞在ホテルがコオリナ地区のアウラニディズニーだったのでこちらまでの送迎があったのもとても有難かったです。
さてPM3:50にホテルを出発して途中ワイキキ付近ではかなりの渋滞に巻き込まれながらもPM5:20くらいには会場まえに到着しました。入場はPM6:00ということでVIP入口付近で40分ほどの待ち時間があり少し時間を持て余してしまいましたが、入場してからはとても素敵な時間を過ごせました。
まずグリーンルームに3グループ10人だけが案内され、カクテルとちょっとしたおつまみ・果物のサービスを受け、挨拶に来てくれたエルビスのそっくりさんと各グループづつ写真を撮ってもらいました。(この写真はツアー料金に含まれっており、私たちはショー終了後にエルビスにサインもしてもらいました。)
その後劇場支配人がバックステージと楽屋を案内してくれてとても楽しく説明してくださり、舞台上で写真も撮ってもらいました。
その後VIPツアーの方たちと合流してお食事を頂きましたが、やはり席は舞台かぶりつきでとても迫力あるショーを楽しめました。
お食事はロブスターに始まりお肉も柔らかく付け合わせのマッシュポテトもとても美味しかったです。ただマッシュポテトちょっと量が多すぎたかな？
飲み物は私はノンアルコールのブルーハワイを頼みましたがこれも美味しかったです。
デザートのチョコレートケーキも味はとても良かったのですが、日本人の私たちにはちょっと
甘すぎて完食は厳しい感じでした。
今回のショーの出演はエルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソン・レディーガガでした。3人ともとても歌がうまくて素晴らしいショーでした。パフォーマンス最高です。
彼らのショーの合間に行われたルアウもとてもクオリティの高いものでした。
最初から最後まで本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来てとても満足しました。
PM9:40に送迎車に案内されホテルまで送ってもらいました。
送迎してくれた人たちも会場まで案内してくれた女性も皆とても気さくで親切な人たちだったので本当に素晴らしい半日を過ごすことが出来、とても感謝しています。
次回ハワイに行った折には(例えモニターツアーで無かっとしても)ぜひ参加したいと思っています。

Although my stay in Hawaii was short, it was my first trip to Hawaii, and I was overwhelmed by the various entertainment options. However, this live performance was packed with authentic live music, hula dancing, and Polynesian culture, and I was very satisfied. There were also many honeymooners from around the world.

今回、ハワイ滞在期間が短いものの、初めてのハワイ旅行ということで、色々なエンタメが魅力的で困っていましたが、このライヴは、本格的なライヴもフラダンスもポリネシアンもすべてがギュッと詰まっていて大満足でした。
世界中からハネムーンで来てるお客さんも多かったです。

We did the activity our first night and Hawaii and it started the trip off right. We had a wonderful time!

Since we took the bus, it was a bit of a long journey, but we were able to spend a very relaxing day. The hula lesson and craft experience were just for us, so it felt almost like a private lesson. The craft experience with the tea leaf lei work was fun, and the hula was taught with great care, which made me happy. The spacious grounds were pleasant, and the planetarium had interesting explanations. The guide in the museum provided thorough explanations as we toured the exhibits, allowing us to learn about Hawaiian culture.

THE BUSで出向いたので少し遠い道のりでしたが、とてもゆったりと一日過ごすことが出来ました。
フラレッスンもクラフト体験も私達だけでしたからほぼプライベートレッスン状態でした。
クラフト体験のティーリーフのレイワークも楽しかったし、フラは丁寧に教えて下さったし、嬉しかったです。
広い敷地内で気持ち良く、プラネタリウムでは興味深い説明で、博物館内も案内の方がしっかり説明して展示物を回ってくださるのでハワイの文化を知ることができました。

We took the sunset cruise on our last night in Waikiki. It was such a fun way to end our trip! The crew was great and took great care of us aboard the boat. It was such a relaxing way to spend the evening. If we lived closer, I would take this cruise all the time!

This is Hawaii!
It's incredibly refreshing!
The scenery is wonderful!
Last time, I watched the fireworks from Mai Tai on Friday night, but this time, I recommend the sunset!

これぞハワイ！
最高に気持ちいい！
素晴らしい景色！
前回は金曜夜の花火をマイタイからみましたが、今回のサンセットのほうがオススメです！

Was it because of the sunset? We waited over 30 minutes before departure, but we got to see a beautiful sunset. The crew was very friendly, and they kept refilling our wine, which made us very satisfied. It's a great tour for those who enjoy drinking.

日の入りの関係か？出航まで30分以上待たされましたが、綺麗なサンセットが見れました。クルーたちも大変気さくで、ワインのお代わりもいっぱい注いでもらい大満足でした。お酒好きにはお得なツアーです。

My fiancé & I absolutely loved every second of this sunset cruise. The staff is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, & the views are just perfect. We have already decided on our next trip, we will for sure be doing this again. If you're smart, you'll take them up on the offer prior to boarding the boat. They offer a shaker with a house cocktail which you get before boarding to pregame but it also gets you on the boat before anybody else (plus the drink is so so good)

The guide lady on the way there talked a lot, which is understandable, but the driver was driving roughly with his elbow on the window and speeding. The car shook so much that it made me feel sick. The food and show were about what I expected. On the way back, they said they would check that everyone was on board before leaving, but the moment it was time, they took off without checking. As expected, someone who was supposed to get off at the Hilton wasn't on board. I wonder what happened... I might not go again.

行きの車内のガイドおばちゃんが良く喋るのは仕方ないが、
運転手が肩肘付きながらスピード出して運転が荒い。
気持ち悪くなるほど良く揺れる車もいまいち。
食事とショーはまあ予想通りのレベル。
帰りの車は全員乗車を確認してから出発すると言っていたのに
時間になった瞬間、確認もしないで急発進。
案の定、ヒルトンで降りる予定だった人が乗ってなかった。
どうなったんだろう。。。
次はないかな。

I participated in a tour during Silver Week. The sunset viewed from the catamaran and the Waikiki sunset were amazing. The Mai Tai was a bit weak in alcohol but still delicious. I switched to beer and enjoyed a few Mai Tais along with some beer. We encountered some rain and got soaked, but that was part of the fun. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

The only downside was that although the meeting time was set for 5 PM, when I asked the staff before 5 PM, they said, "We won't check in for another 20 minutes," and we ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes before departure. I wish I could have done more shopping during that time, so I deducted one star for that. However, it was such a fun tour that I almost forgot about that.

シルバーウィークにツアーに参加してきました。
カタマランから見るサンセット、ワイキキの夕日、　最高でした。
マイタイもアルコールが薄いけれども　おいしかったです。
ビールへの変更もでき、マイタイ数杯と、ビールを飲んできました。
途中で雨に会い、びしょ濡れになりましたが、これも醍醐味。
とても楽しい2時間でした。
ただマイナス点は、集合時間が5時になっていたのに、5時前に係りの人に尋ねると、「後20分くらいしないとチェックしない」と言われ、出航まで結局 30分近く待っていました。
それならもっと買い物したかったのに、、、と時間がすこしもったいなかったのでマイナス星１つです。
でもそれを忘れるくらいたのしいツアーでした。

On the evening of our arrival in Honolulu, we boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran. A nice breeze was blowing, and it was perfect cruising weather with big waves. We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful sunset with cocktails in hand, accompanied by a lively crew and great background music. I will definitely ride again!

ホノルル到着日の夕方にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗り込みました。良い風が吹き、波も大きなクルーズ日和。ノリの良いクルーとBGMでカクテル片手に素晴らしいサンセットを心行くまで楽しみました。また絶対乗ります！

Would thoroughly recommend this Luau. All you can eat and drink plus a great show put on by the dancers. A really great evenings entertainment and some great memories.

I was torn between Standard and Deluxe, but I'm glad I chose Deluxe!

I had a great view from the center of the third row. I could really appreciate the dancers' expressions, and I enjoyed the fire dance and the energetic hip-shaking dances. The stage was much larger than I expected, so I was happy to have a good seat. In the first half, various dances were performed in turns by several teams, and in the second half, it got even more exciting with fire dances. At the end of the show, the dancers came over to shake hands, and I was amazed by how muscular the main dancer was... Their palms were thick and hard, which surprised me. (laughs)

As for the food, I was able to enjoy a lot of meat, fish, salads, and desserts. The beef was thick yet tender, and I ended up going for seconds. I was wondering if I would get to try Kalua pig during my trip, but it was included in the buffet menu, so I unexpectedly got to enjoy it. The pork was light and delicious, with just the right amount of fat. The way my favorite dishes were piled high on a large plate felt like ordering from a restaurant, and I was very satisfied.

スタンダードかデラックスか、迷いましたがデラックスで良かったです！

ショーは前から３列目の真ん中で、じっくり鑑賞することができました。ダンサーの表情もよく見えたし、ファイヤーダンスや激しく腰を振るダンスもしっかり見えてとても楽しめました。ステージは思っていたよりも随分広かったので、良い席にしてもらえて良かったです。前半は色々なダンスを数人のチームに分かれて順繰りに披露という感じ、後半は火を使ったダンスも交えて盛り上がりました。ショーの最後にダンサーの方が握手に来てくれましたが、メインダンサーの方のムキムキ具合がすごかったです…手のひらも厚くて硬くてびっくりしました。笑

料理も、お肉お魚、サラダやスイーツもたくさん食べれました。ビーフが分厚いのに柔らかくておかわりする程、カルアピッグは旅行中食べれるかな～と思っていたら、ブッフェメニューに含まれていたので予定外に食べられました。脂のおちたあっさり目の豚肉でおいしかった^^好きなメニューを大皿にどっしり盛りつけた感じは、レストランで頼んだメニューのようで、満足ｄした。

We booked this event last minute e.g. the afternoon before the event day and we're lucky that we got on. We enjoyed the trip. The food was ok perhaps average for the price of the event. 2 alcoholic baverages were included subsequent alcoholic drinks were 1$ (beer, wine) or 2$ (cocktails, mixed drinks) which is very cheap. So a good deal for people who can drink a lot. The crew was friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

We were a family of 8 people that included 4 young adult children looking for a fireworks cruise that included dinner and found this cruise on this website that was very well priced.
The fireworks are on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village every Friday night and the Hilton put on a fireworks cruise at a more expensive price but I wasn't sure if we would like the food so decided to go for this cruise that included BBQ buffet dinner at Shore Bird restaurant in the Outrigger hotel. We met the Holokai catamaran on the beach directly out front of the Shore Bird restaurant. The crew were friendly and we were able to purchase our drinks on board and got to keep our cocktail shaker that we bought our drinks in, nice souvenir! We sailed out to position in front of the Hilton Hotel Rainbow tower.
Such a lovely tour to do whether you are a small or large group and then return to the beach to make your way to a BBQ of fish,chicken or steak and help yourself to the all you can eat salad buffet followed by desert.
We had the steak and fish for dinner and we're happy with our meals, I especially liked their potato salad int the salad buffet as well.
The restaurant overlooks the beach and they also have karaoke. I would highly recommend this cruise as it is well priced and it gives you the option of dinner or no dinner if you would prefer to eat elsewhere.

We had an awesome driver named Allen who was hauling his way to get to the Polynesian cultural center even through the pouring rain. Even though we purchased the late night entry, we still had a great time with our tour guide and was able to go to a few of the more larger exhibits. Each land has their own exhibit, or a mini show varying from 15-30 minutes. My favorite was the Samoas. The dinner was a buffet style luau with the hula girls and boys, and the children. Half day is more than enough time to go through the park. There was also a canoe ride that operates every 15 min but we missed it since we were the last wave to enter the park. The show at the end called HA, the breathe of life was an amazing show!

The service was excellent, and the food, especially the truffle mashed potatoes, was delicious. The show was lively and enjoyable, with many non-Japanese audience members present.

サービスはとても良く、食事は特にトリュフ入りのマッシュポテトが美味でした。
ショーは観客にたくさんの日本人以外の方がいらっしゃったので盛り上がり楽しかったです。

My husband and I were on our first trip to Hawaii and decided to book the Makani Dinner Cruise for our first night in Oahu. The weather was beautiful and the boat was very comfortable. The crew was very fun, polite, and helpful. It was a little confusing though about the drink coupons, or maybe it was just me, but I thought that you got two alcoholic drinks with the coupons and then the nonalcoholic drinks were free, that wasn't the case tho, anything after the two were at a cost. I will say that the drinks were pretty strong. We didn't see any dolphins and I was disappointed about that, but I can't blame them for that. All in all we enjoyed ourselves very much and the sites were great. I would have given five stars if just water would have been included after the two drinks.

This is my third visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The stories from the elderly guide on the shuttle bus were interesting. The dance show has also been renewed and was great. Last time it was fully booked, but this time there were many empty seats, and I could tell the guide was lamenting the lack of Japanese tourists. It might be inconvenient because it's far from Waikiki? However, if you use a tour like this one, you can go there with peace of mind.

　ポリネシア文化センターへは、3回目です。迎えのバスの年輩のガイドさんの話が面白かったです。ダンスシヨーもリニュアルされており良かったです。前回は満席でしたが、今回は空席が多数あり日本人観光客が少ないとガイドさんが嘆いていたのがわかりました。ワイキキから遠いので不便なのが原因かも？今回のようなツアーを利用すれば安心して行けますよ。

Grounds are beautiful, food was great and the show is very impressive

I would highly recommend the Navatek Dinner Cruise. My husband and I both chose a chicken entree and it was fabulous. The staff was friendly and fun. The entertainment was awesome. This was our second time on board and we will definitely do it again. Thanks Navatek!!

This sunset cruise is very amazing, we book this trip as part of our honeymoon special memory. We got picked up from my hotel(Marriott) @3:30pm with nice Benz shuttle bus, got port @4:45 and start trip @5pm on board the lovely Makani ship.
The dinner start after 30 mins leave port, and really delicious(especially the chicken, my wife look a lot).
During the trip, we saw the nice Waikiki beach view and diamond head mountain, the sea is so deep blue and so pure. it feel different from what you see at the beach!
The exciting moment for this cruise must be at the sunset moment! and we are able to see it!(we stay there several days, but most sunset blocked by cloud, and we are so lucky that able to see the sunset!), in the attachment i attach few pics that i took at the sunset moment! Then we head back, we got back to port @7pm and ride shuttle bus back to hotel @ 8pm with nice memory.
At last, the Captain looks very nice and professional and thank you give us a nice sunset cruise!

First luau and a great one to attend. The performers were fantastic and the food was outstanding! Due to weather this one was held indoors and the show was great even in the closed in area.

I made a reservation for the premium seats and attended with my daughter. It seemed that the seats were predetermined, as we were guided to a seat overlooking the diamond bed at the front row of the stage when we handed over the voucher at the reception. We shared a table with a 50-year-old American woman who was attending alone and a large Chinese family, and it was enjoyable to communicate in broken English. The atmosphere of the oceanfront garden at the Royal Hawaiian was fantastic, and the buffet had a wide variety of dishes that were quite delicious. The price is high, but I recommend it for those who want to enjoy the show in an elegant setting.

プレミア席で予約を取り、娘と二人で参加しました。
席はあらかじめ決まっていたようで、レセプションでバウチャーを渡すと舞台最前列のダイヤモンドベッドを臨む席に案内されました。
一人で参加していた50代のアメリカ人女性と中国人の大家族と同じテーブルだったのですが、カタコトの英語で交流をしたのも楽しかったです。
会場のロイヤルハワイアンのオーシャンフロントの庭の雰囲気は最高で、バイキングのお料理も品数が多くそれなりに美味しかったです。
お値段は高いですが、優雅にショーを楽しみたい方にオススメです。

It seems that the cruise on Saturday coincided with a local anniversary gathering, resulting in quite a crowd. There was also a group of about eight Japanese people from a company trip in the Kansai area. The crew was all very friendly, and we had a great time. The boat goes quite fast. Since we departed in the evening, it was a great idea to bring a long-sleeved shirt. We were able to take some lovely sunset photos. Since there was an all-you-can-drink option, be aware that while there are restrooms available, my husband and son mentioned that it might be a bit difficult for women to use them.

土曜日のクルーズと言う事と、地元の人の記念日の集まりにも重なったようで、かなりの人出でした。関西方面の会社の社員旅行の8名ほどの日本人のグループもご一緒でした。クルーは全員大変にフレンドリーで楽しめました。船はかなりスピードが出ます。夕方出発と言う事もあり、長そでを一枚持って行って大正解。素敵なサンセットの写真も撮れました。飲み放題と言う事もあり、飲み過ぎてしまうとトイレもありますが、女性はちょっと入りにくいだろうと、主人や息子の感想でしたのでご注意を。

Last year, I attended the "VIP Dinner & Cocktail Show," and both the food and the show were excellent, so I was determined to end my last night in Oahu here. This year, I upgraded to the "Green Room & Dinner Show." Unexpectedly, I was able to participate through a monitor tour.

Before entering the venue, I handed over my voucher at the reception and received a neck strap pass. At that moment, I felt like Cinderella. A charming and elegant prince guided us to the Green Room. There was drink service, but there wasn't much time to relax and enjoy. On that day, there were three other participants besides us. We sat on the white sofa indoors and took some photos.

After that, we were guided through the stage setup, lighting, costumes, props, and dressing rooms with clear explanations. I felt like a star on the empty stage and took a snapshot there too! Thanks to the backstage tour, I found the show I usually watch casually even more interesting, with quick costume changes and surfboards crossing the stage.

The dinner featured tender steak and mashed potatoes, which were delicious. The tasty bread was available for seconds. The salmon and lobster had a slightly fishy taste. The dessert was quite sweet, but it paired perfectly with the coffee.

The show featured Elvis, Michael, and Little Richard. Since I had familiarized myself with the lyrics beforehand, I was even more moved than last time. The dancers, including those performing Tahitian hula, delivered sharp performances that transported me to a dream! Especially the fire dancer's powerful and beautiful dance is something words can't express. You must experience it for yourself.

昨年参加した≪VIPディナー＆カクテルショー≫が食事、ショー共に内容がとても良かったので、オアフ最後の夜は絶対ここで締めようと思っていました。
今年は≪グリーンルーム＆ディナーショー≫にグレードアップ。思いがけずモニターツアーで参加出来ました。

会場に入る前に受付でバウチャーを渡し、ネックストラップのパスを受け取ります。この瞬間からシンデレラに変身？上品で素敵な王子様がグリーンルームに案内してくれます。ドリンクのサービスが有りますが、のんびり楽しむ程の時間はありません。当日は私達の他に３人の参加が有りました。室内の白いソファに腰掛け写真を撮ってもらいました。

その後、舞台装置や照明、衣装、小道具、楽屋などを分かりやすい説明を交え案内してくれました。まだ誰もいない舞台でスターになった気分でここでもパチリ！スターの早変わりや舞台を横切るサーフボードなどバックステージツアーのおかげで普段何気なく見ているショーが一層、面白く感じました。

ディナーの柔らかいステーキとマッシュポテトが美味しい。これまた美味しいパンはおかわり
できます。サーモンとロブスターは少し生臭い気がしました。デザートはかなり甘いのですが
珈琲とベストマッチです。

エルビス・マイケル・リトルリチャード３人のショーでした。前もって代表的な歌詞の内容を把握して行ったので、前回以上に感激しました。
タヒチアンフラを含めダンサー達の切れの良いパフォーマンスにしばし夢の中！特にファイアーダンサーの力強く美しいダンスはとても口では表現できません。是非ご自身で感じてください。
