All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Good experience at Hawaii. Can not miss it in your life! There is very good environments in the place. Everything is good taste there!

I had a great time with the activities, shows, and lures. Unlike the large lure shows, this one had a cozy atmosphere where the stage and audience were integrated, making for a really enjoyable experience. The host was a wonderful entertainer, which was fantastic! I highly recommend it!!

アクティビティ、ショー、ルアーととても楽しむことができました。大箱のルアーショーとは違い、アットホームで、舞台と観客席が一体になって、といぇも楽しい時間を過ごせました。司会の方がとても素敵なエンターテナーでそれもサイコでした！オススメです！！

I loved it! As a native to this island, the sight of the island from the ocean while the sunset was still able to take my breath away! If you can afford it, please buy the Sunset Royal Dinner with the Window Seating! If you're going to celebrate an anniversary like I did, it's extremely worth it! If you're a tourist, you will enjoy the local songs that they play and the events they set up.

As for the food, it was amazing. Make sure you perhaps call in advanced if you're going to substitute something on the menu!! They didn't have my grilled chicken. Instead, they gave terayaki chicken and were very apologetic!

If you want to take a picture in the front of the boat with the sunset, make sure you go at least 10 minutes early or else you won't be able to get a spot to take picture! It will be crowded!

DOWNSIDE:
THE WAITER SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! IF YOU LIKE HAVING A NICE SOFT DRINK BEVERAGE, DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO FILL THEM IMMEDIATELY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL IGNORE YOU TOO.

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ～って感じでした。

Overall, many of the staff are students, so they are very kind. Since it is a university affiliated with the Methodist Church, I felt a bit of a religious atmosphere. However, they accept many students from developing countries and expressed their gratitude for visitors, stating very politely that they appreciate the support for their scholarship funds. This part was quite moving.

As for the meals, there were comments on this site suggesting not to have high expectations, but I was very satisfied with the deluxe course. It was several times more delicious than the meals at the ultra-luxury hotel (in Maui) where I attended a dinner show last year, and I was extremely happy! In particular, I was thrilled with the crab legs. I ate until I was full. Regarding the show, this year marks the 50th anniversary, so it seems to be very lively. Everyone was working hard to entertain the visitors, and I was moved by their attitude more than the content itself.

とにかく、スタッフの大勢が学生さんなので
とても、親切。メソジスト系キリスト教徒さんの大学とのことで
多少、宗教的な感じも受けました。
が、後進国の学生を多く受け入れていて、奨学金の原資にも
なっているから、訪れてくれることを感謝していると
お礼の言葉をとても丁寧に述べられました。
このくだりは、ちょっと感動です。

食事も、ここのサイトで、あまり期待しない方が良いと
いう書き込みもありましたが、デラックスコースの内容は大満足。
昨年行った、超高級ホテル（マウイ島）の食事付きフラショーの食事よりも
数倍美味しく、大満足でした！！
特に、カニの脚には大興奮。お腹いっぱいいただきました。
ショーですが、今年は50周年と云う事もあって、盛り上がっているようです。
みなさん、来訪者を楽しませようと、一生懸命でしたので、内容よりも
その姿勢に感動しました。

it was great fun for the entire family (12 yo boy and 9 yo girl) + mother in law The shows/ presentations were cute at each "islands" but definitely the highlight was HA -- the fire show--- would definitely go back next time in Hawaii but would go straight to the show ----

We participated with a total of seven people. I wouldn't recommend it for those who get seasick, but for those who are okay with it, I definitely encourage you to join. The staff were very kind (they only speak English). Above all, the scenery is beautiful. It's only a few hours, so it's a fantastic experience that won't interfere with other schedules. I absolutely recommend it!!

総勢7名で参加しました。船酔いする方にはお勧めしませんが、OKな方には是非参加してほしいです。スタッフの方々もとっても親切（英語しか話せないスタッフですよー）。なんと言っても、景色がキレイ。ほんの数時間なので、他のスケジュールの邪魔にならないサイコーの体験です。ぜったいお勧め！！

It was very pleasant.
Since it was a catamaran, the sea water was right in front of us, and the sunset was amazing.

There were about 30 participants, with around 7 Japanese people.
There was also an elderly person (probably of American descent) who was using a cane.
Be careful as you have to climb a few steps up a steep ladder.
The instructions were only in English, but it was manageable even if you didn't understand everything.

During the sailing, it felt really nice.
I was sitting in the front row, but here the sea water splashed up from below,
and my T-shirt got completely soaked from the spray.
It's best to wear clothes over your swimsuit.
(The front half of the yacht has a net at the feet.)

Even in summer, it was cold when splashed with water.
A windbreaker or something similar is necessary.

とても気持良かったです。
カタマランなので、海の水が目の前にあり、最高のサンセットでした。

参加していたのは、３０人位で、日本人は7人位ですね。
杖をついている年配の（多分米国系）の方も参加されていました。
急な、梯子を数段上るので、注意です。
説明は、英語のみでしたが、判らなくても何とかなりました。

セイリング中は、とても気持よかったです。
最前列の座っていましたが、ここは下から海の水がかかり、
スプレーでティーシャツがビショビショになりました。
水着の上に服を着ているのが、正解です。
（ヨットの前半分の足元はネットになっています）

夏でも、水をかぶると寒いくらいでした。
ウィンドブレーカー等が必要ですね。

I was expecting a bit more of a mood-filled dance since it was supposed to be Hawaiian dance, but it was mostly intense dancing.

ハワイアンダンスとのことだったのでもう少しムード満点のダンスもあるのかと期待してましたが、激しいダンスばかりでした。

Your Cruise was the highlight of our trip. We had Nao as our waiter and he was great. He was so accommodating and everyone had such a great time. We were in and out of the dinning area taking pictures of the Sunset and later the Friday night fireworks. We had a great time, but in all the nights excitement we forgot one of our camera cases on board. The next day we received a call and asked if we had lost our camera case. We were already on the Big Island and could not physically get the case. Leslie told us not to worry, that she would have it sent to our place in Los Angeles. When I asked her if she needed my Credit Card to pay for the shipping, she said they would be glad to send it to us. Born and raised in Oahu, this made me proud of the Ohana and spirit of Aloha that was shared with us. We will never forget the feeling of Ohana and look forward to Sailing with you when we visit again. Oh, and the food was wonderful. See you soon. Mahalo

It was an absolutely fantastic show, more then I expected. The whole family, even the finicky teenager enjoyed the show. The history of the islands then dancers and the fire entertainers were top notch. The whole experience from the staff and the entertainers were the best.

Well there are no seats and you have to climb to get in and sit on floor, then they sail and you can move around. We thought there would be seats, but this only had benches. You have to be fit. We thought we could take my grandson, when we got there he couldn't possibly go. Also it's the Outrigger II, not the Outrigger. We showed up at Outrigger and were told it's a 10 minute walk. We are very unhappy. We bought 8 tix and 3 people didn't go and 2 who went got sea sick. There should be warnings as to what you are getting into.

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.

The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.

While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.

It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.

昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。

ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。

ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。

我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

I've been to other luau's on other islands, but none have been as organized with so much great food and free mai-tai drinks. The dining areas and the seating areas for the show are all covered to protect people from the possibility of rain. The landscape is gorgeous, with so many unique flowers, exotic trees, peacocks, chickens, and zebra doves running around everywhere.

I had a really good time on the Waikiki Rigger. Great staff, great drinks, fun folks onboard the boat, nice music! It was a little cloudy out at times and rained on us for a bit, but just looking at the city while in the water, the beautiful shots of Diamond Head Cater, other boats passing us make for a truly fun evening. I had a great time and something again that didn't tie up your whole evening. I hope do this again in a heartbeat!

Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park was definitely one of the highlights of my tour's while visiting Honolulu! The staff from beginning to end was just great. Chief was an incredible man and host and the music, the dancing, the ladies just made the evening something to never forget! The setting at Sea Life Park was great. You look in one direction you see the ocean, and another direction you have the mountain back drop. I totally enjoyed this show and food from beginning to end. Chief is the man, what he and the staff did with the fire torches at the end of the show was a nice way to conclude the program. I know there are a lot nice luau's being offered in Honolulu, but this one right here is right up there with all the others. Great show and I had a wonderful time and evening!

The food was delicious. The kids enjoyed it a lot. My child participated in a tattoo experience and got a shark drawn. They did it really well, and my child was very happy. The fire show was also amazing! The kids were super excited. Be careful with drinks when the wind blows. I wish I could have enjoyed it more if I spoke English.

食事はおいしかたです。こどももパクパクでした。タトゥーの体験に子供が参加してサメを書いてもらいました。とっても上手に書いてくれ、子供も大喜びです。ファイヤーショーも最高！子供も大興奮でした。風が吹く時には飲み物注意だよ。英語が出来たらもっと楽しめたのにな。

Before the show, my kids enjoyed getting their first Jagua skin art (similar to henna) from a local artist. Some of the show's performers had booths selling jewelry and crafts as well. The drinks were stiff, however, the food was on the mediocre side. The show itself was great and was enjoyed by all. The dancers were very friendly and welcoming. Overall great experience!

You might have to wait a bit from the meeting time until departure, but it feels like a good timing adjustment to see the sunset! There isn't anything particularly special about it, but enjoying the view of Waikiki from the catamaran and having a drink on board (of course, I'll have a refill) is fun.

集合時間から出発まではちょっと待たされるけど、いいタイミングでサンセットが見られる時間調整って感じ！特にこれと言った特徴があるわけではないけど、カタマランで海側から見るワイキキの街並みや船上での一杯（もちろんおかわりしますが）が楽しいです。

Most of the staff here work about 19 hours a week to receive tuition assistance, and I was most impressed by how hard everyone was working. The show was moving, but the restaurant staff and the guides were very friendly, making me want to come back and support the students again.

I highly recommend the drum show at Tonga Village during the park tour! It made me laugh a lot.

こちらのスタッフさんはこちらで週に１９時間ほど働くと学費補助が出る学生さんたちがほとんどで皆さん一生懸命お仕事をされている姿が一番印象的でした。ショーも感動的でしたが、レストランのスタッフの女の子や園内ガイドをしてくださるスタッフさんはとても親しみやすくまた来園して学生さんを応援したいと思いました。
園内ツアーではトンガ村のドラムショーがお薦めです！たくさん笑わせていただきました。

I thought the cultural center was very good. Our tour guide was amazing and would recommend having one. The only bad thing was not being able to take pictures during the breath of life show and no air movement. Show was great but very warm. Wish I could have taken pictures.

Great trip through the bay at Waikiki! The people make or break your experience, but everyone is there to have a great time, and you do, especially with the great musical accompaniment. Be sure to bring some extra cash for the picture at embarkment, and the special glass for your rum drink. Wonderful experience!!!

Great food, nice facility. A little too much waiting in line and then sitting around once inside. Good show.

I participated in the VIP plan! It was so much fun from start to finish that I didn't want to leave!

There were impersonations of well-known artists and a Hawaiian show. My seat was right in the middle and up front!

It was incredibly impressive.

I want to go again next time!

VIPのプランで参加しました！
最初から最後までとても楽しく帰るのが名残惜しぃ位でした！

誰もが知ってるアーティストのモノマネやハワイアンショー。
席も真ん中で前！

迫力満点でした。

次もまた行きたい位です。

It was the most fun show in Hawaii. Michael, Elvis, and Madonna were all spot on. Michael was perfect in dance, face, appearance, and singing. Although Elvis didn't resemble him in the face, his singing and appearance were very similar, and I enjoyed it. The singer who performed "Satisfaction" was wonderful. After the show, there was a photo time, and I was thrilled to hug Madonna and take a picture! I got to know a couple from Washington sitting next to me, and we promised to meet again in Hawaii next year.

ハワイで１番楽しかったショーです。マイケル、エルビス、マドンナそっくりでした。マイケルはダンス、顔、容姿、歌全て完璧。エルビスは顔はにておりませんが歌、容姿はそっくりで楽しめました。サティスファクションを歌った歌手の方は素晴らしかったです。ショーの後フォトタイムがありマドンナとハグして写真撮影していただき感激！！隣の席にいらしたワシントンのご夫婦と知り合い、来年もハワイで会う約束をしました。

This was my second visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center in 15 years. Last time, the guide on the canoe tour was very entertaining, and we had an incredibly fun day.

I attended this time with similar expectations, but I was moved in a different way. The show itself depicted the story of a couple who escaped a volcanic eruption to a new island, where they gave birth to a child who would eventually become a king. Even though I didn't understand the English, I was deeply moved unconditionally.

ポリネシアン・カルチャー・センターは15年ぶり２回目の参加でした。前回はカヌーツアーでのガイドがとても面白おかしく説明してくれて、とにかく楽しい一日を過ごしました。
今回もそれを期待して参加したのですが、別の意味で感動しました。それはショーそのもので、島の噴火を免れて新たな島に非難した夫婦が子供を出産しやがて、その子が王様になるまでのストーリーを演じてくれたのですが、英語が解らなくてもとにかく無条件で感動させられました。

The entertainment was wonderful. The food was a disappointment. in fact, the cheaper tickets that went through the buffet had it better because they got as much as they wanted. Also, there wasn't much difference between our seats and theirs. I would do it again but would buy the cheaper tickets.

We used it as a group of 40-60 people. There were many people from countries other than Japan, and everyone forgot their age and had fun dancing. The food was decent, but we enjoyed the tropical cocktails outdoors, which added to the Hawaiian vibe.

40－60　男女のグループで利用しました。
日本以外の国から来てる人が多くみんな年齢を忘れて踊ったりして楽しかったです。
食事はそれなりですが屋外で飲むトロピカルなカクテルもハワイらしさを楽しめました

We had a wonderful time. If you wanted to have plain good time knowing the Polynecian culture this is a must! You will be spending most of your day in a ALL IN ONE package,from activities, education, culture, music, language. I don't know about other people but there is nothing to complain about the Luau and this place, the food was good,the show was great, the evening show was spectacular! For those who expect to get drunk and expect a Las Vegas type of show, please do your self a favor go somewhere else, BUT if you wanted to have a clean entertainment and wholesome environment for you and your family and appreciate custumes,culture, pretty and handsome islanders don't think twice of going here. Several reviewers expect a Las Vegas show and almost bear all, I'm a Islander I find those reviews very insulting to the culture of our people, this is a paradise Island, so please leave your mind set behind before coming here. PCC does the best to preserve the culture and their ancestry.

We had a blast!, great food, all you can eat crab legs. great service and great show! If you're still deciding what dinner cruise you should take, here's your answer! You can't go wrong! My suggestion take this event as your grand finale of your vacation, probably on the last day of your trip. Thanks so much hawaiian activities, they added Hanauma Bay trip as a extra bonus at no cost( but you need to pay for the entrance fee)which you can not missed! My family and I had a wonderful time.
