All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

This trip is very organized. We arrived at the grounds and were driven on a tram to the gardens (not sure why the tram, completely walkable). We were then left to wander the gardens for a half hour or so. The gardens are beautiful, the whole setting is lovely. The next event was the ceremony explaining how the pig is prepared and cooked, which was somewhat interesting. Next we were ushered into the dining area for cocktails and dinner. The pork was delicious, the rest basically typical buffet fare. Dinner felt like we were at a big wedding reception and didn't know anyone. If you like buffets and big feedings, you'll love this. Not our family's cup of tea. After dinner we walked to the theater for the show. The show was fine, the dancers were fine, it was entertaining. We didn't really know what to expect from a luau when we signed up and now that we've experienced it, we'll never feel a need to go back. Glad we saw the dancing but this is the one excursion we regret having spent our time and money on during our week in Kauai.

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

It's a bit far from Waikiki, but the experience can vary depending on the guide. If you have a good guide, you can hear various stories and enjoy sightseeing from the car window. I always opt for the more expensive meals, and they're not bad. The show is enjoyable even if you know what to expect. The vendors sell ice cream along the way, but it can be messy, and I worry about getting dirty if you're sitting on the aisle.

少しワイキキからは遠いですが、ガイドさんによって当たりハズレがあります。良いガイドさんなら色んな話が聞けて、車窓で観光が楽しめる時もあります。お食事は毎回高い方にしています。まぁ悪くはない感じです。ショーは内容を分かってても楽しいです。売り子さんが途中アイスクリームを売るのですが、ボタボタ落ちて通路側に座ってたら汚れそうでヒヤヒヤします。

This dinner cruise was very entertaining and relaxed. We came away at the end of the night thoroughly impressed. The staff on board were very nice, they talked to us personally about Hawaii and what to do while we were staying. The dinner was buffet style and the food was very tasty. Be sure to take warm clothing, as it got later into the night there was a cool sea breeze. The fireworks were impressive, however even without the fireworks the dinner cruise would still be just as good. The boat was in lovely condition and fit lots of people easily. The 2 free drinks was an extra bonus! Overall, we had a lovely night out and would highly recommend as a lovely night out on the water in Honolulu.

I was completely satisfied with this thrilling experience! I was looking forward to the show in Las Vegas, and it was on a different level compared to Japanese impersonations. It was pure entertainment. I now have another wonderful memory from our spring break trip with my daughter. The backstage tour was a super VIP experience with welcome champagne and a warm greeting from the performers, allowing us to have a great time. Elvis was so cool. Michael was there too. And Lady Gaga! There was a reveal, and we even got to take pictures together, which was fun. The food was surprisingly delicious, especially since I went in with no expectations for the dinner show. I enjoyed lobster, steak, and dessert, which I rarely get to eat in Japan. We had front-row VIP seats. During the show, the performers came to our seats singing and even gave us a kiss on the cheek as part of the VIP service, making it a fun experience. Overall, the VIP treatment was astonishing, and it was a rare experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.

ドキドキの体験に大満足！！
本場ラスベガスのショーとあって楽しみにしてました。
日本のものまねとはレベルが違いますね。
エンターテイメントでした。
娘と二人の春休み旅行の楽しい思い出が1つふえました。
バックステージツアーはウエルカムシャンパンと出演者のかたたちのお出迎えでチョーVIP待遇で楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
エルビスがかっこよかったです。
マイケルもいましたよ。
ガガ様もね！
タネあかしあり、一緒に写真も撮れて楽しかったです。
料理はディナーショーの料理とあって全然期待せずに行ったのが良かったのか結構美味しかったです！！
日本では食べる機会のないロブスターもステーキもデザートもおいしくいただきました。
席は一番前のVIP席。
ショーの途中歌いながら席に来てくれてほっぺにキスのまたまたVIPサービスに、楽しく観れました。
とにかくびっくりするほどのVIP待遇、めったにできない体験で楽しめました。

we wanted a luau that wouldn't cost the earth and this was great. Only one that does show and drinks as an option, which was perfect for our young daughter. Great family atmosphere, she loved going on stage and learning the hula

I participated at the recommendation of my sister. It was more moving than I had expected. The seats were also quite good. Thank you very much.

妹に薦められて、参加しました。思ってた以上に感動でした。お席もかなりよくて。ありがとうございました。

I had a wonderful time.
Even though we couldn't communicate with words, everyone is here to have fun, so it's all good.
However, there is only one restroom, so it might be better to limit your beer intake.
The Mai Tai was also quite delicious.

とても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
言葉は通じなくても、みんな楽しむために来ているから大丈夫です。
ただし、トイレは一つしかないので、ビールは控えた方がいいかも。
マイタイも十分美味しかったです。

We didn't get up to Diamond Head as announced as we had to head back to port for a health emergency with one of the crew.
Otherwise food was great and atmosphere fantastic!

We had a great night! The food was good and the show was amazing! It was worth the beautiful drive and the money paid.

We enjoyed the luau so much! We even got to see several whale breeches in the ocean behind the stage just before the show began. BONUS! Seeing the dancers and all that talent on stage was a great way to spend our evening.
Dinner was good, show was fun and the setting and the way the involved everyone made it that much more fun.

I can't say enough good things about this Luau!
The food was good. The entertainment was outstanding!
The setting was great!
A real come backer!!!

This sail was very beautiful and relaxing. We were able to see the sun go down, ride the waves and have cocktails from the open bar. I would recommend this to anyone looking to relax on the ocean and have a drink.

This dinner cruise was truly spectacular. We checked in and seemed to be upgraded from the roast beef dinner to the steak and crab dinner. Love it! We were seated at an intimate table for two on the side of the stage and were able to start eating while the rest of the guests were seated with efficiency. It didn't take long for us to be on our way and dinner was served. The steak was medium rare and delicious and the crab (if not a little cold) was wonderful. Entertainment was superb! We enjoyed the beautiful sunset and even spotted a few whales in the distance and enjoyed the Polynesian entertainment. We were able to stroll all decks and since the 2nd deck was not occupied enjoyed a quiet moment before returning to the dock. Enjoyed every minute.

The PCC, dinner, luau, and show were fantastic. The Island Tour itself was the sad part. Our driver was late and then we had to rush through all the sites, having barely time for a picture or look before having to reload.

Everything was pretty good except tables were too close.

Being greeted at the airport by a delightful Hawaiian with the traditional orchid lay she had made was a perfect start to a much anticipated trip. Our greeter was so friendly and informative. I would recommend this to anyone making a Hawaiian vacation for the first time. We wear our leis to dinner each night and still get comments

We had a wonderful time on the cruise. We met some very nice people, enjoyed the scenery, and even saw some whales. The crew treated us like Kings and kept the drinks flowing. The ship was full, but had plenty of space to mill around and get a good view.

I was a little worried about attending a Luau on top of a parking garage. It turned out to not be a problem. They decorated the venue very nice and we were in the shade the whole time, which really helped. The food was wonderful, with a wide selection for everybody, even the kids. The acts were fantastic! I took a star away for the location not being by the ocean and the tight seating arrangement.

I visited the Bishop Museum with 15 members of my hula class and experienced a hula lesson. Although the hula teacher was absent and we had an assistant instead, I was very satisfied to receive an authentic hula lesson. Everything was explained in Japanese except for the hula teacher, which made it very easy to understand.

フラ教室メンバー１５名とビショップミュージアム見学と、フラレッスンを体験して来ました。
フラの先生は、先生が不在で助手の方でしたが、それでも、本場のフラレッスンを受ける事が出来て大満足です。
フラの先生以外は全て日本語でとても分かりやすかったです。

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon in Hawaii. It was a Green Room Monitor Tour, and I got to experience a VIP feeling in the Green Room!

I arrived about 30 minutes late for the tour, so I couldn't see the backstage, but they quickly brought me welcome champagne and guided me to my seat. The champagne was easy to drink and delicious! The lobster and steak were tender, and I enjoyed all the dishes!

In the Green Room tour, drinks are free for one per person, and there is a charge for the second drink, which I felt was a bit pricey at $10 plus tip. I had a seat in the front row, so I could watch the show right in front of me.

The impersonation show featuring Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, and Elvis had quite a few songs I recognized, and I had a great time! The authentic hula show was also impressive and overwhelming! The performers in the hula show were all beautiful.

There were many foreign audience members around me, and their reactions were lively, which added to the fun! I couldn't understand the English talk, so I was completely lost, but I found myself laughing along.

At the end, I was able to take a photo with someone who resembled Michael Jackson (laughs)!

I highly recommend this tour as you can enjoy delicious food and a show all at once!

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

I would love to participate in a similar monitor tour if I go to Hawaii again!

新婚旅行のハワイでこちらのツアーに参加しました(^^)
グリーンルームモニターツアーだったのですが、
グリーンルームでVIPな気分を味わえました！
ツアー開始時間に30分程遅れてしまい、舞台裏の見学はできなかったのですが、すぐにウェルカムシャンパンを持ってきて頂き席に案内されました。シャンパンも飲みやすくて美味しかったです！
料理のロブスター、ステーキも柔らかくて料理全部美味しくいただきました！
グリーンルームのツアーでは飲み物が1人1杯まで無料で二杯目からは料金がかかるシステムになっていて、
1杯10ドル+チップで少しお高いかな？と感じました。
一番前に席が用意してあり、すぐ目の前でショーを見ることができました。
マイケルジャクソン、レディーガガ、プレスリーのものまねショーは知っている曲が結構あり楽しめました！
本場のフラショーも迫力満点で圧倒されました！
フラショーに出ている方が綺麗な人ばっかりです^_^
周りの観客も外国の方が多くリアクションが大きく又それも楽しかった！
英語が分からずトークは何を言ってるのかちんぷんかんぷんでしたがつられて笑ってました輪
最後にマイケルジャクソン似？（笑）の方と写真が撮れました！

美味しい料理とショーも一度に楽しめオススメですよー！

楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！

又ハワイに行ってこのようなモニターツアーがあったら参加したいです！

There really isn't any better way to see the Hawaiian sunset than cruising off Waikiki beach - with only the sound of wind whistling through the sails...great food and good conversations. The crew are very friendly - sharing their sailing experiences and interesting facts about the island and Pacific ocean. The captain is very personable and experienced (having raced large sailboats). He set the sails just right for a comfortable cruise and even allowed some to take a try at the helm. In addition to the great panoramic view of Waikiki and sunset we saw a sea turtle and whales. If we had more time on this trip we would do this sailing cruise again...and most definitely will the next time we're on Oahu.

the food is delicious but choices are limited. There were wonderful view and music & performence

The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly. The sunset was beautiful too! Since only English is spoken, it might be better for those who don't understand to avoid this place. It was cold, and the restroom was dirty... that was disappointing.

景色は最高に綺麗で、ダイアモンドヘッドが綺麗に見えました(*^◯^*)
夕日も、綺麗です！
英語しか通じないので、分からない方は避けた方が良いですね〜
寒かった&トイレが汚くて…残念でした（≧∇≦）

We attended as a couple, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We did the Terrance luau style dining, and it was very good. All the food from the buffet were excellent, and the two hula dancers and a Hawaiian musician created a great atmosphere to enjoy our dinner.

Once the show began, the time flew by. Elvis started the show with some old classic rocks, then Lady Gaga came on. She was hilarious and I thought her piano performance was pretty good. But our favorite was Michael Jackson. Everyone loved him, and boy, he had some moves. He even got the side way moonwalk down to science.

Overall, it was a great night, and I highly recommend this show to anyone!

It was a good fun thing to do as a family. My only complaint was we were to be released by tables for the food but apparently the Japan folks didn't get that and we ended up having to wait a long time. The ship was clean and the staff we nice.

We had a nice time on the river boat cruise and the luau was exceptional. We have been to at least 5 other luaus over the last several years and this was by far the best. The food was great. The entertainment was great and it was very well organized.

Being on a quiet catamaran sailboat is a unique experience in comparison to a noisy motorboat. The buffet dish I like the most was the BBQ teriyaki chicken. The staff were experienced and friendly, starting off with a comical safety briefing and ending off with a friendly goodbye. The bartender was very knowledgeable about dealing with seasickness and different types of liqueurs. The drink special was a delicious tropical blend that fits perfectly with the environment. It was smooth sailing going out and back in, and we saw multiple whale spoutings in the distance. Listening to the relaxing music with the rhythmic movements of the ocean made a relaxing trip.

The flowers were perfect! We loved them!
We would recommend these Lei's!
They smelled so good!

We looked around at a lot of luaus but then we luckily got recommended for chiefs from our front desk lady. The food was amazing, the stuff before was a lot of fun. The show was incredible and the chief was a blast and very funny! Would defiantly recommend it to anyone looking for a great luau at a pretty good price!
