All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Such a fun evening. Great food, drinks, entertainment, and service! Would highly recommend.

Was entertaining,a good family show to see. Performers had awesome voices.

Awesome luau! Probably one of he best I've seen on all the islands! Would definitely recommend this luau to anyone!

What a fun night. From the running commentary on the way there to the Chief who is hilarious, what a great sense of humour! My daughter and I loved the way the luau incorporated songs and dance from all of the Polynesian islands. Really well done. The whole audience were involved throughout. The location was fabulous with the cliff face on the one side, the ocean and Rabbit Island on the other. Beautiful.

So much fun! You enter and receive a shell lei and then take a ride on a tour through the beautiful botanical gardens. We watched as they dug up the traditional kalua pig steamed beneath large banana leaves. The buffet was delicious! don't hold back on the fried rice!! All you can drink mai tai's too! The botanical gardens were even more enchanting as dusk set in and you can walk across bridges to small islands on the grounds. Through dinner we were entertained by the Smith Family singing island music and hula dancing. Also sang happy birthday and the wedding song to all those celebrating honey moons and birthdays! Afterwards we all headed to the outdoor theater to watch many different traditional island dances and songs. It was beautiful, including a fire show! Highly recommend the entire experience. Well worth the cost. WE even paid for the $20 picture that they took for us when we entered with some of the crew members. We have it hanging on our wall!

The Lei was beautiful! Lasted for days! I hung the Lei on our balcony! It looked lovely hanging.

The lie was beautiful and the greeter was very pleasant. I am glad I booked one.

This catamaran sail was great! The crew made us all feel comfortable and safe. Drinks were free and the MaiTais were very tasty. The Captain moored us in a great place to see the fireworks and then sailed towards Waikiki to see a beautiful moon rise. Great tour all the way around.

I had a great time watching the various island dances! If you choose the Twilight Deluxe option, you'll have a seat in the middle, and during the intermission of the show, you can exchange for a generous selection of fruits and ice cream, which I highly recommend.

さまざまな島のダンスが見れてとても楽しかった！トワイライトデラックスにすると、席も真ん中ですし、劇の途中の休憩で盛りだくさんのフルーツとアイスも引き換えられるのでおすすめです。

I recently booked a Lei Greeting for my daughter and son-inlaw. They were so impressed with the service. The greeter was extremely friendly and went out her way to help with luggage and shuttle service. They also received many compliments on beauty and quality of their Leis from total strangers.

I finally got to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, which I had wanted to go to for a long time.

I have been learning HULA in Japan, and I splurged on a deluxe reservation to enjoy the evening show from a good seat.

In the end, I was really glad I chose the deluxe option.

During the day, you will be walking quite a bit under the blazing sun, so it's essential to prepare with water and a hat.

Thanks to a brief rain shower, I was lucky enough to see a beautiful rainbow.

ずっと行きたかったポリネシアンカルチャーセンターへやっと行くことができました。

日本でHULAを習っており、いい席で夜のショーを満喫したく奮発してデラックスを予約。

結果、デラックスにして本当によかったです。

昼間には日差しが照りつける中、かなり歩くことになるので水分と帽子などの対策は必須です。

にわか雨のおかげで素敵な虹が出て幸せでした。

I cannot recommend the regular course in the afternoon. I just walked around the park and got tired. The free bus tour involves religious solicitation, so it's better to avoid it. It was boring. The theater had a Japanese show at 5 PM, so if you have time, please check it out. Overall, everything was boring except for the night show.

昼からのレギュラーコースはオススメ出来ない。ただ園内を回っただけで、疲れた。
無料のバスツアーは宗教勧誘されるので、行かないほうがまし。詰まらない。
シアターは日本語が17時からだったので、時間があえば見てください。
全体的に夜のショー以外は詰まらなかった。

Excellent luau. The food was delicious and the show was very spectacular. The performers all seemed to love what they were doing. Loved the historical storytelling - very interesting! The seating was great and the venue, near the ocean was really a bonus since we were able to see some whales.
I would definitely recommend this luau and would attend it again on our next trip.

We got married here 5/6/88. It was so beautiful then, and is now also. Everyone there was so nice, smiling, and so helpful. Our son wanted to propose to his girlfriend as a surprise during the Luau. We came ahead early to help prepare for this to happen. Everyone was so helpful in setting this up, and it went so perfectly and beautiful!! Other visitors there said it made them cry also. They made it very special. Thank you to them all for all their help and TLC. Thanks to Dee, Nancy, and the MC during the Luau. I can't remember his name......last name Smith. They were all wonderful. Becky and Dana

We loved the chief's Luau. We have been to several and this was our second time to attend Chief's. The food is very good, my husband loves the poi..., the setting is great and the highlight is the Chief. He is just a wonderful entertainer!

Visited for first time. Upgraded to ambassador level and it was worth every penny. Would have missed so much without a guide. Can't see all in a day so we will return again in the future.

I had a very enjoyable time on this occasion.

At first, I was guided to the green room, and although I felt a bit nervous about the reception, I was excited and thrilled about this first-time experience.

The photo session with the performers was also a very exciting moment.

I was taken behind the scenes and to the dressing room, places that are usually hard to see, and the manager provided clear explanations. I was deeply moved to be able to experience something that is not normally possible. The staff were all cheerful and beautiful, which was also very impressive.

The dinner was delicious, but it was a bit too much for us (including my friends), and we couldn't finish it. I felt a bit rushed as I was falling behind the pace of those around us. By the time dessert came, I was so full that I couldn't enjoy it, which was disappointing.

The highlight of this tour was definitely the showtime. Every song was very familiar to me, and both the singing and the talk were wonderful. I was so moved by the singing that I almost cried. The dancers around me were also fantastic, and I was completely captivated by their performance. I felt surprised and laughed, and time seemed to fly by.

The photo session after the show was fun as well. If I could wish for something, I would have liked to take more photos with the dancers.

It became the best memory of our trip. Thank you very much!

この度は、とても楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました

始めはグリーンルームに案内していただき、丁寧な説明と、接待に少し気後れしながらも、初めての体験にわくわくドキドキしました。

ショーの出演者との撮影会もとてもわくわくできた一瞬でした

舞台裏や化粧室など、普段なかなか見られないところを、支配人から案内してもらい、わかりやすく説明していただき、普通では体験できないことができて、とても感動しました
スタッフの皆さんもにこやかで、綺麗な人ばかりでとても感動でした

ディナーは、おいしかったのですが、私たち（友人を含め）少しボリュームがありすぎ、食べきれませんでした。周囲の食べるペースからも置いて行かれぎみで焦ってしまいました。。デザートの時にはおなかいっぱいで、おいしくいただけなかったのが残念でした

このツアーの中でやはり、一番、良かったのはショータイムでした
どの歌も、とてもよく知っている歌で、歌声も、トークも素晴らしかったです。歌声を聴いてつい感動で涙が出そうになりました。合わせて周りで盛り上げているダンサーの方たちのダンスも、とても素敵で、目を奪われてばかりでした。びっくりしたり、笑ったり、時間もあっという間に過ぎたように思えました
ショー後の、写真撮影会も楽しかったです。
欲をいえば、周りのダンサーの方たちとももっと、写真を撮りたかったです

私達の旅の最高の思い出になりました。ありがとうございました

As this was my wife's first trip to Hawaii, we visited the center. I'd never been before either.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and our guide. We paid for the Ambassador level and it was worth every penny as you are guided through the center with a personal touch.
The center was very informative and the luau was very good.
We'll be returning again as there is so much to see and learn that it can't be covered in ine day, even with a guide.

This was my second time participating. The last time (two years ago) was really great, so I joined again. Unfortunately, due to bad weather, it was held indoors, which was a bit disappointing. The fire dance was the only part that took place outside, but the wind was strong, and it was unfortunate to see the dancer getting the flames on their body and face. Since it was my second time, and almost everything was the same as last time, I don't think I want to participate again. However, it did create good memories in Hawaii. I go to Hawaii every year, so I hope more new shows will be added.

今回二回目の参加です
前回（二年前）がとっても良かったので、再度参加
あいにく悪天候で室内での開催となってしまい、少し残念でした
ファイアーダンスだけは外でされたのですが、風が強くて、ダンスをする方が
炎が体や顔に当たって、見るのが気の毒でした
二回目だったのですが、前回とほとんどしていることが同じだったので、もう再度
参加したいとは思わないです
でもハワイでの良い思い出にはなりました
毎年ハワイに行っているので、新しいショーがもっと増える事を願います

This time, I went on a company trip. Even though it was my first time overseas, let alone Hawaii, it was a place where I could lead the employees. Even if I arrived early at the meeting point, I could pass the time at the hotel's café or souvenir shop, and the show itself was fantastic. At the climax, several guests were invited on stage to dance! Our staff was also called up (laughs), and we made great memories (*^o^*). The food was delicious in a buffet style as well. I want to go again! Thank you very much ^_^

今回は、社員旅行で行きました。ハワイどころか海外が初めてな私でも、社員を引率出来る場所にあり、早めに現地集合場所に行ってもホテル内のカフェやお土産屋さんで時間を潰せましたし、ショー自体最高でした。クライマックスでは、お客様を数名ステージに招いて、ダンス！ウチのスタッフも呼ばれて（笑）いい思い出が出来ました(*^o^*)
お料理も、ビュッフェ形式で美味しかったです♫また、行きたいです！ありがとうございました^_^

Basically, everything is in English. Honestly, we couldn't enjoy it much since we don't understand English. The show is very interactive, with a strong tendency to bring audience members on stage for fun conversations, which might not be suitable for those who want to see Polynesian dance. I think it would be very enjoyable for those who are fluent in English, have a good sense of humor, and are comfortable dancing in front of others. The staff was kind. There were several changes to the pickup location and time since the reservation, but they accommodated us when we informed them that there was a person in a wheelchair.

基本、すべて英語です。英語がわからない我々は正直あまり楽しめませんでした。
ショーも参加型のショーで観客を舞台に上げて楽しく会話をするといった傾向が強く、ポリネシアンダンスを見たいという方には不向きかもしれません。
英語が堪能でノリがよく人前で踊るのも平気という方にはとても楽しいと思います。
スタッフの方は親切でした。
予約時からピックアップ場所や時間が何回か変更になりましたが、車いすの人間がいることを伝えると対応していただけました。

This experience became the most valuable part of my trip to Hawaii.

I was guided from the VIP entrance to the backstage green room, and I was thrilled to be welcomed with champagne and light snacks.

The fresh fruit platter was very delicious, but the bacon-wrapped pineapple left the biggest impression on me.

The green room was a lovely space where I could relax comfortably.

The manager's tour of the backstage allowed me to see the stars getting their makeup done in the dressing room, and I was very happy to take photos and shake hands with them—experiences that are not possible in everyday life.

In the costume room, all the costumes used in past concerts were on display, and I was impressed by the intricate craftsmanship of each one. The costume worn by [name] weighed nearly 5 kilograms, and seeing them dance vigorously on stage in that heavy outfit made my heart swell.

During the stage tour, I was carefully shown the stage equipment, and at the end, we took a commemorative photo on stage, feeling like stars (laughs).

After the backstage tour, we were guided to our seats. And here’s another surprise! We had the best seats in the house right at the front (laughs).

The pre-show dinner was beautifully presented, like something from a top-notch restaurant, and each dish was outstanding—definitely the best food I had during my trip to Hawaii.

I felt a very strong sense of hospitality, welcoming guests without missing a single detail.

The show I saw after the manager's tour was even more entertaining! I believe the enjoyment of this experience is a hundred times clearer when you actually experience it rather than just reading about it.

There’s no doubt that all guests receive first-class hospitality and a wonderful stage experience.

If you take advantage of the green room, dinner, and show, the price is certainly not cheap, but I believe the satisfaction is incomparable.

I had a wonderful experience with VIP treatment, so I give it 5 stars. I am very satisfied.

今回の体験はハワイ旅行の中で一番価値のあるものとなりました。

ＶＩＰエントランスからバックステージのグリーンルームに案内され、
ウエルカムドリンクにシャンパンと軽食でお出迎えに感激でした。

新鮮なフルーツの盛り合わせも非常に美味しかったですが、
私はパイナップルのベーコン包みが、一番印象に残っています。

グリーンルームはゆったりとくつろげる素敵な空間でした。

支配人にバックステージの案内は
楽屋室でスター達がメイクをしているところを見せて頂いたり
一緒に写真を撮って握手をしてくれたりと
日常では経験出来ないが事が出来てとても嬉しかったです。

衣装室には今までのコンサートで使用してきた衣装がすべて残っており、
どれもこれも精密な作りで関心いたしました。
〇〇さんの衣装が上下合わせて５キロ近くはあり、
本番のステージであの重い衣装を着て激しく踊っている姿を見て、
とても胸があつくなりました。

ステージの案内では舞台装置など丁寧に教えて頂き
最後にステージでスター気分での記念撮影(笑。

以上でバックステージの案内が終わり、客席に案内されました。
ここでもビックリ！私達は一番前の特等席です(笑

開演前のディナーは一流のお店で出てくるような美しい盛付、
一つ一つの味も抜群の料理、ハワイ旅行の中で一番美味しい料理でした。

何一つ抜かりなくゲストを歓迎する、おもてなしの心を非常に強く感じました。

支配人の案内の後に見たショーは、一層おもしろかったです！
このおもしろさは文で読むよりも、実際に体験いただいた方が
１００倍分かりやすいと思います。

すべてのゲストに一流のおもてなしと素晴らしいステージであることは間違いありません。

その中でもやはりグリーンルーム・ディナー＆ショーを利用されたなら、
お値段は決して安くないですが
その満足度は比べものにならないものだと思いますよ。

ＶＩＰ待遇の素晴らしい体験ができたので☆５つ。大満足。

We boarded in the evening on the day of arrival. I was fine, but my wife was a bit off due to jet lag, so it seemed to be a little tough for her. I was lying down on the internet, enjoying the quiet time. There were only two of us Japanese, and about 15 Westerners, so I could really feel the overseas atmosphere. It might be better to speak a little English. However, I personally liked the slow flow of time and the atmosphere without Japanese people. It might be better to avoid the day of arrival...

到着日の夕方から乗りました。
自分は大丈夫でしたが、嫁は少し時差で体調がいまいちだったので、
少ししんどかったみたいです。
ネットに寝転がり、静かな時間を感じていました。
日本人は私達2名だけで、欧米人が15名ぐらいでしたので、海外を感じることが出来ました。
少し英語を話せたほうがいいかもしれません。
ただ、ゆっくりと流れる時間と日本人がいない雰囲気は個人的に好きでした。
到着日は避けたほうがいいかもしれません。。。

I participated in February.
I saw the reviews and brought a fleece jacket just in case, but it wasn't necessary.
The weather was really nice, and the sunset was perfect!!
However, the small boat swayed a lot.
I got seasick and regretted not bringing motion sickness medication.
I had never gotten motion sickness on any vehicle before, so I let my guard down.

When getting on and off, my knees got a little wet.
Depending on the waves, I got soaked up to my waist.
I participated with my 4-year-old son, but there was no requirement for children to wear life jackets.

I got seasick, but I was able to see the sunset beautifully, so I was very satisfied!

By the way, before boarding, they took a photo of the boat with Diamond Head in the background, which you can buy for $15 on the way back.
The photo turned out really nice, so I purchased it♪

Also, the captain was a really cool guy, and all the announcements were in English.
He spoke quickly, and I didn't understand half of what he was saying (^_^;)

2月に参加しました。
口コミを見て、警戒してフリースの上着を持って行ったけど、必要ありませんでした。
とってもいいお天気で、サンセットもバッチリでした！！
ただ小さい船なので、とっても揺れます
私は船酔いしてしまい、酔止め持ってこなかったことを後悔しました。
船はもちろん、乗り物で酔ったことなかったので油断しました。

乗り降りの際に膝ちょっと上まで濡れます。
波のタイミングによっては腰までビッショリです。
4歳の息子を連れて参加しましたが、「子供はライフジャケット着用」ではなかったです。

酔っちゃったけど、サンセットはキレイに見られたし、大満足です！

余談ですが、乗船前に船とダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真をとってくれて、帰りに$15で買えます。
かなりキレイにとれていて購入しました♪

あと、船長はめっちゃカッコイイおじさんで、アナウンスも全て英語です
早口で、何言ってるか半分もわからなかった(^_^;)

THIS WAS ONE OF MANY TOURS WE BOOKED WITH YOU THRU OUR TRAVEL AGENT AND WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASED WITH IT. FROM START TO FINISH EVERYTHING WORKED PERFECTLY!

The shuttle service to the hotel was appreciated. It was great that a Japanese student provided various guidance. Above all, the fire dance was spectacular!! It was the best fire dance I've ever seen!! Since it was the cheaper dinner option, it might be understandable, but I hope there are a few more delicious options available.

ホテルまでの送迎付きなのが有難い。日本人の学生さんが色々ガイドをしてくれて良かった。
何よりファイヤーダンスが圧巻！！
今まで見たファイヤーダンスの中で1番でした！！
安い方の夕食だったので仕方ないのかもしれませんがもう少し美味しいものがあるといいなと思いました。

This cruise is very classy. From dinner to show Done it 3 time

The whole family enjoyed the music was off the hook This is a show u see in Vegas don't miss it

Several years I was scare to get on this. But the crew really take care of us. Safely. Is number. As you sail music is nice and loud. Crew pouring drinks
Don't miss out. We will. Be there next year

Didn't attend the dinner so I can't speak on that but the show itself was excellent. Very entertaining
