All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable Y la guía que nos toco sabia mucho del tema y nos atendió excelente

I got bored during the show.
There wasn't much to eat. If you miss the first round, there's nothing left.
The seating is arranged in two rows in a U-shape with the stage in the center. The front row seems to be reserved for guests, so you can't sit there even if you arrive early.
You have to wait until the people in the front row finish before you can go to the buffet.
It's expensive for what you get, but since it's the Hilton, I suppose that's to be expected.
It became a memorable family trip.

ショーは途中で飽きちゃいました。
食事は食べるのもがあまりない。最初に取り損ねるともうありません。
席は２列でコの字でステージが中央にある。前列は宿泊者専用なのか早くても座れません。
バイキングの取りに行く順番も前列の席の人が終わってからじゃないといけません。
値段の割には高いですがヒルトンなので仕方が無いと思います。
家族旅行の記念にはなりました。

I made a reservation because I wanted to see hula (since it feels like Hawaii). The food was quite delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. Additionally, it was fun to see various Polynesian dances, not just hula. The Tahitian performance was the most exciting, and my dad was invited on stage to dance, which made for a fun experience. Since we chose the standard seating, the stage was a bit far, but they danced facing different directions, so it was enjoyable even from the side. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was worth the cost.

フラが見たくて（ハワイっぽいから）予約しました。食事も結構美味しかったし、雰囲気も良かった。それに、フラだけではなくポリネシアンのいろいろなダンスが見られて楽しかった。タヒチは一番盛り上がり、うちのパパは誘われてステージにあがって踊らされ、楽しく過ごせた。スタンダードにしたのでステージは少し遠かったけど、いろいろな方向を向いてダンスしてくれていたので正面じゃなくても楽しめる内容だった。少し割高だけど、値段だけのことはあると思いました。

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable El servicio y la comida excelentes y no se diga los tragos recomendado 100%

The park is worth to visit, food just ok but the show at night is so good and make the day worth it.

My husband and I love the sailing cruise!! The rain was pouring down the day before and we were worried about our cruise, and it turned out the weather was just perfect on our cruise day. The staff are very friendly and make everybody comfortable. Dinner and two drinks are also delicious. We saw a very beautiful and amazing sunset in our life. The sailor girl is pretty cool when she pulls the two sails in wind. She also caught a large tree(not a big fish!) on our way back, which added to our trip another deep and funny impression. All in all, everything is great and we will definitely recommend this trip to our friends and probably try a second time!!!

We participated as a family of three. Unfortunately, due to the poor weather and high waves, some people became unwell. However, the boarding area was good, taking less than 10 minutes from the Royal Hawaiian Center. I think it's very nice that you can interact with other travelers since it's a shared experience.

Depending on the weather, it could be the best experience!

3家族で参加しました。天候が芳しくなく波が高かった為、体調不良者も出て残念でした。
しかし、乗船場もロイヤルハワイアンセンターから10分掛からずにＧＯＯＤ。乗り合いの為、他の旅行者とも交流ができる点は非常に良いと思います。

天候次第では最高になると思います！！

Overall we had a good time at the Luau. I felt the food was pretty good with the exception of the fish not being cooked enough but the wife felt the food was lacking a fair bit. The show was very enjoyable and entertaining. Met some great folks at the table with us and overall really enjoyed the show.

+ The sunset is beautiful
+ Drink as much as you want!
+ Crew was friendly and we stayed a bit longer
+ The extras: they take a nice photo of you

The tour guide was not that good, spoke in a soft voice and let the passengers talk too much so it was hard to concentrate on what she was saying.

Wonderful food, entertainment. Loved the dancing afterwards. Friendly crew, my daughter said our waiter Chad was a 'hottie'.

This was a great time! Enjoyed the show, the garden, the food & the river tour. Learning more about the authenic cultures of the area sure was fun. THanks for everything!! One thing to note is that there were terrible mosquitos. Wear some bug spray!! :)

I had decided during my last trip that I would definitely go see this next time, and my wish came true. The newlyweds who joined us were friendly and refreshing, which was great.

As for the show, perhaps my expectations were too high... ^^; Michael Jackson was amazing, but I thought Elvis could have been even more over-the-top.

I believe there was an announcement that photography was allowed as long as no flash was used, but I was taking pictures without flash and was still told off by a staff member. I wonder why that happened?

前回の旅行時点で次は絶対見に行こうと決めていて念願がかないました。
同席した新婚さんも気さくで爽やかな方達で良かったです。
ショーの感想ですが期待が大きすぎたせいか・・・^^;
マイケル・ジャクソンは素晴らしかったですがエルビスはもっとオーバーアクションでも良かったと思いました。

フラッシュを使わなければ撮影OKとアナウンスがあったと思いましたが、フラッシュ無しで撮影してたのに係の人に注意されましたが何故でしょう？

We started from Waikiki Beach and visited Hanauma Bay, Moanalua Gardens, Waimanalo Shopping Center, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa in that order. We arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM, where we spent the afternoon enjoying lunch, exploring the grounds, attending the dinner, and watching the light show until 9:30 PM. I think it was a very fulfilling tour.

ワイキキビーチから出発、次がハナウマ湾、モアナルアガーデン、ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ドールプランテーション、ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターにたどり着き、ランチ、園内観光、デイナ、ライトショーを夜9時半まで園内で過ごしました。
とても充実したツアーだったと思います。

My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and were pleasantly surprised. I was a little apprehensive as the yacht looked quite small compared to the number of people waiting to board. But once we were on board, there was plenty of room for everyone. There was a bar on board with a wide range of drinks to choose from (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). I wasn't too crazy about the food; it was too bland for my taste and because I do not like BBQ chicken. Some normal American food (bread, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes) would have made me a super happy camper. The ride was smooth for the most part and I loved the fact that the captain turned the yacht around when we spotted Dolphins and we were able to get a up close and personal look. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time on the water and a beautiful sunset.

The day we participated, there was hardly any wind, so it didn't sway at all! However, since it's a small boat, it seemed like it would sway a lot on windy days. After the ride, the boat quickly heads back, so if you want to take pictures with the boat, make sure to do it beforehand or get off the boat early!

わたしたちが参加した日は全然風がなくて揺れませんでした！ただ、大きくない船なので風の強い日はすごく揺れそうでした。乗り終わった後はさっさと船は帰って行ってしまうので船とともに写真を撮りたい方は先に撮っておくか早い目に船から降りましょう！

The guide talked non-stop on the way there (which is understandable since they are a guide), so I couldn't sleep. I thought it was just a transfer service without a guide, which was a bit stressful. The buffet meal was also disappointing. On the way back, we were told not to go to the restroom and to return to the bus immediately! So, I decided to leave a little before the end. I wish I had a bit more time to relax.

行きのガイドさんがずーっと喋っていたので（ガイドですから仕方ないのですが…）寝れませんでした。ガイド付きではなく送迎付きだと思っていたのでちょっとストレス…。バイキングの食事もイマイチ…。帰りはトイレなんて行かないですぐにバスに戻るように！と言われたのでラスト少し前に出ることに。もうちょっと余裕が欲しかったです…。

The dance show features various costumes and dances from Polynesia, including not only Hawaii but also Tahiti, Tonga, and New Zealand, throughout its overall story. Above all, the quality of the dance is impressive! The large group performances are beautifully synchronized down to their fingertips. The men's fire dance was also powerful.

Since I participated in the standard tour, the meal was a bit simple, but the venue was magnificent, with a large painting covering the entire wall that was strong and emotional, leaving a lasting impression. Next time, I would like to participate not only in the dance show but also in the daytime tour of the park.

ダンスショーは全体的なストーリーを通して、ポリネシアン(ハワイだけでなく、タヒチやトンガ、ニュージーランドなど）の色々な衣装やダンスを見ることが出来ます。
何といっても圧巻なのはダンスの質の高さです！大人数の群舞が指先まで揃っていて綺麗です。男性の踊るファイアーダンスも迫力がありました。
スタンダード･ツアーで参加したのでお食事はちょっとシンプルでしたが、会場は壁全体に描かれた大きな絵が力強く、情緒があって、圧倒されるほど立派でした。
次回はダンスショーだけでなく昼からの園内ツアーにも参加したいと思っています。

My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The crew were attentive, and made sure we were good at all times. I would definitely do this again. Date night!

My entire family including my dad and sister's children really enjoyed the dinner. It was good start for our family trip in Hawaii.

This is an excellent idea and I'd highly recommend the lei greeting! As promised, the representative was waiting just outside our gate with our leis. The hospitality didn't end there as our rep walked with us to baggage claim, secured a porter for us and then found our hotel transfer van for us. She waited with us until we were on the van to our hotel. She would not accept a tip saying it was her pleasure to help. The leis come with a gift bag containing chocolates and care instructions for the leis. We kept ours in our hotel refrigerator and after 12 days we were able to take them home to show others....they still were beautiful and fragrant!

I participate every time I come to Hawaii. I've joined various optional tours, but this one is the most fun. This time, we were the only two Japanese people, and there was a newlywed couple and their family participating, so it felt like their party. Even in such a situation, I think we were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to the sky and sea of Waikiki. We had a great view of the sunset, but I ended up drinking too much, influenced by those around me. If you're staying in Waikiki and don't get seasick, I definitely recommend joining.

ハワイに来るたびに参加しています。いろんなオプショナルツアーに参加しましたが、これが一番楽しいです。今回は、珍しく日本人は我々２名のみ。新婚さんとその家族が参加されており、その人たちのパーティーのようにもなってました。こんな状況でさえ、楽しめるのは、ワイキキの空と海のおかげだと思います。夕焼けもバッチリ見えましたが、周りにつられ、飲みすぎてしまいました。ワイキキに宿泊される方、船に酔わない方はぜひ参加ください。

I had seen hula shows before, but this was my first time experiencing such a powerful performance. I was drawn into the story, and by the end, there was a standing ovation!! It was moving. The ice cream served during the show was also delicious. I definitely want you to pay attention to the staff who run to refill the ice cream!! They carry an incredible amount of ice cream on a tray, holding it with one hand... and run down the stairs!! The speed was amazing!! I want to see it again next time!

フラのショーなどは見たことがありましたが、こんなに迫力満点なショーは初めてでした。
物語に引き込まれ、最後にはスタンディングオーベ―ション!!感動ですた。
ショーの合間にだされるアイスも美味しかったです。アイスを補充しに走ってくるスタッフさんにぜひ注目そていただきたい！！笑　　ものすごい量のアイスをトレーに乗せ、片手で持ち・・・階段を駆け下りる！！その速さったら！！
また次回も拝見したいです！

I highly recommend this event, particularly as a Super Ambassador. The private tour guide and reserved seating were definitely worth the extra pennies. We partaked in lots of activities, saw all the best shows in best seats and generally had an amazing day. I can't recommend this event enough.

It was a very good tour. I believe everything depended on the guide's skills. The final hula was wonderful. Since it's in a remote location, I think you can only go there through an optional tour.

とても、良いツアーでした。すべてガイドさんの、力量に、かかっていると、思われます。最後の、フラも、素敵でした。遠い場所に、あるので、オプショナルツアーでないと、行けないかなぁと、思います、

We took 20 people on this cruise as part of our pre-wedding, Welcome to Hawaii event. It was absolutely perfect. The drinks were flowing, the crew members were friendly and outgoing, and the boat was big enough that we didn't feel jammed in - we had plenty of room to spread out and mingle with the whole group. Would definitely recommend this activity to others. Totally worth the cost!

As my review title highlights, it is pretty much self-explanatory what I'm going to describe about this event that took place on August the 28th, 2015. It was one of the most exciting moments of our lifetime. Since we booked this event we have been looking forward to it. Finally when the time arrived we boarded Makani Catamaran with a wonderful reception from the crews. They were all very funny and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and well organized. We sailed on time and were at the fireworks at the right moment. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with beautiful music. On the top of that we were also given a free drink. Had a nice opportunity to view the sunset as well. It was everything that you can expect on your first event in Hawaii!

I participated because I wanted my parents, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, to experience what Hawaii has to offer. Starting with traditional hula, the spectacular fire show was breathtaking, and my parents were thrilled. I definitely recommend participating in the premium seating. You can really see everything up close!

The meal was served buffet-style, and we all lined up together to serve ourselves. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and they were very colorful. For drinks, I exchanged the drink tickets I received at the reception at the bar, but friendly waiters also came around to take orders at our seats.

I considered the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we had a great time here. Given the location and the food, I think I would choose this place again for my next visit.

ハワイは初めての両親に、ザ・ハワイなるものを体験してほしいと思い参加しました。
伝統的なフラから始まり、大迫力のファイヤーショーは圧巻で両親は大喜び。
是非、プレミアムシートでの参加をお薦めします。本当に目の前で見られます！
お食事はブッフェ方式で、みんなで仲良く一列に並び順番に取り分けて食べました。
ハワイアン料理がたくさんあり、とても鮮やかでした。
ドリンクは受付時に貰ったドリンクチケットと交換でバーでオーダーしましたが、お席へも気さくなウェイターさんが聞きに来てくれます。
ポリネシアンセンターのルアウと悩みましたが、十分楽しめました。やはり立地・お食事共に次回も参加するならこちらかなと思います。

Satoru, an international student, guided us with a ukulele in hand. He considered which activities would be enjoyable based on the members' countries and took breaks in the heat while showing us around. We learned about history and culture, enjoyed an exciting show, and experienced a humorous canoe ride before cooling down with a movie. After a buffet dinner, we enjoyed a magnificent show that included an impressive fire dance following a backstage tour. The souvenir shop was also of high quality, making the long trip worthwhile. A fond memory is when they made fish toys from tea leaves to keep the children entertained. I hope to visit again someday!

留学生のサトルさんがウクレレを片手に案内してくれましたが、メンバーをみて、どの国のどんなアクティビティに参加したら楽しめるかを考え、暑い中休憩をとりつつ案内してくれました。歴史や文化を知り、ショーで盛り上がり、冗談まじりのカヌーくだりを経て、映画でクールダウン。ビュッフェのディナーの後は、バックステージツアーを経て大迫力のファイアーダンスを含む壮大なショーを楽しみました。お土産屋さんのレベルも高いし、遠くまで遠征したかいがありました。子供が飽きないように、ティーリーフで魚のおもちゃを作ってくれたことも良い思い出です。またいつか行きたいと思います！

On March 6th, I participated in a sunset cruise. First, I was worried about getting seasick, but it didn't rock as much as I thought, so I was fine. It was a bit chilly, but I got to see a beautiful rainbow and sunset, which was fantastic. Also, the all-you-can-drink option was great. I did get a little splashed, but that was fun in its own way. I highly recommend it!

３月６日に、サンセットクルーズに参加させて頂きました。
まず、船酔いが心配だったのですが、思ったほど揺れなくて大丈夫でした。
少し肌寒ったのですが、きれいな虹と夕日が見れたので最高でした。
後、飲み放題ってところも、良かったです。
水しぶきも少しかかったのですが、それはそれで、楽しかったです。
おすすめですよ。
