All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The charm of this show is, without a doubt, the mystical hula and the powerful fire dance! I could watch it over and over again. The food is also plentiful and delicious, and with such a wonderful show at this price, there's nothing to complain about. For those wondering what to do on a night in Hawaii, definitely consider the luau show. You’re sure to have a memorable evening.

このショーの魅力は、何と言っても神秘的なフラに迫力あるファイヤーダンス！何度でも見たいくらいです。
食事もボリューム満点で美味しく、この料金でこんな素晴らしいショーなら言うことなしです。
ハワイでの夜は何して過ごそうかなと考えている人は、ぜひルアウショーを。きっと思い出に残る夜を過ごせるはずです。

The guidebooks often feature luau shows, so I had been curious about them for a while. During my third trip to Hawaii, I finally got to experience a luau show for the first time. The show was wonderful, and I was truly moved. I regret not having seen it before... I definitely want to see it again next time.

I believe that enjoying delicious Hawaiian cuisine along with traditional songs and dances at a luau show is an essential activity when traveling to Hawaii.

ガイドブックにもルアウショーがよく取り上げられているので、以前から気になっていたのですが、今回3度目のハワイ旅行で初めてアウショーを鑑賞しました。ショーは素晴らしく、本当に感動しました。今まで見なかったことが悔やまれるくらい・・・次回もまた見たいです。
美味しいハワイアン料理に、伝統的な歌やダンスが楽しめるルアウショーは、ハワイ旅行ではずせないアクティビティだと思います。

When it comes to Hawaii, the luau show is a must-see. I've seen a few luaus before, and this time the performers showcased incredible dances. The hula dances ranged from slow movements to powerful performances, all of which were fantastic. Of course, the highlight, the fire dance, was also amazing! If you haven't seen a luau show yet, I highly recommend checking it out at least once.

ハワイと言えば、やはりルアウショーですよね。
何度かルアウを見た事があるのですが、今回のルアウショーも、出演者が見事なダンスを披露してくれました。
フラダンスは、ゆっくりした動きのものから迫力あるものまでどれも良かったです。もちろん見どころのファイヤーダンスも最高！
ルアウショーをまだ見た事ない人は、ぜひ一度は見てみてください。

We went to a luau show as a family. Before the show started, we enjoyed delicious food and a beautiful sunset, and when the show began, I was impressed by the stunning and powerful performances. I am learning hula in Japan, but the authentic hula was truly amazing. I thought to myself that I want to be able to dance as beautifully as that. It became the most memorable day of our trip to Hawaii.

家族でルアウショーを見てきました☆
ショーが始まるまでは、美味しい食事や美しいサンセットが楽しめ、ショーが始まると華麗で迫力あるパフォーマンスに感激でした。私は、日本でフラを習っているのですが、さすが本場のフラは素晴らしかったです。私もあんな素敵に踊れるようになりたいなと思いました。
今回のハワイ旅行で一番思い出に残る1日になりました。

I watched the luau show for the third time. I am always amazed by the wonderful performances, and I feel moved every time I see it.

The traditional Hawaiian food was delicious, and I had a satisfying meal. After my stomach was filled, the torches were lit, and the show started. I was captivated by the beauty of the hula and fire dance, and it was a show that I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. I want to see it again. It seems I never get tired of the luau show.

3度目のルアウショーを鑑賞。毎回素晴らしいパフォーマンスには驚かされ、いつ見ても感動します。

ハワイの伝統料理も美味しく、満足のいく食事ができました。お腹も満たされたところで、たいまつが点火されショーがスタート。フラやファイヤーダンスのすごさに魅了され、最初から最後までとっても楽しめるショーでした。
また見たいです。まだまだルアウショーは飽きないようです。

It was a wonderful show! I was captivated by the singing and dancing, and I also appreciated learning about Polynesian culture throughout the performance. It made me love Hawaii even more.

とても素晴らしいショーでした！
歌にダンスとどれも釘付けでしたが、このショーを通して、ポリネシアン文化についても知ることができたのが良かったです。ハワイがますます好きになるそんなショーでした。

On the last day of our trip to Hawaii, we decided to make it a memorable night by attending a luau show! Four of us friends participated.

I love shows and have seen many in different countries, but this was the most impressive one yet. The graceful hula dancing and the powerful fire dancing were both fantastic performances. I was captivated by the show the entire time. Additionally, the food was delicious, making it a night where we fully enjoyed Hawaii.

ハワイ旅行最終日に、思い出に残る夜にしたいということで、ルアウショーを見に行くことに決定！友達4人で参加しました。

私はショーが好きで、今までもいろんな国で見てきましたが、その中でも最も感激したショーでした。
しなやかな動きのフラダンスや迫力あるファイヤーダンスなど、どのパフォーマンスも良かったです。終始ショーに夢中でした。また、食事も美味しくハワイをたっぷり堪能した夜になりました。

If you're in Hawaii, the luau show is highly recommended in every travel book, so I decided to see this show. The singing and dancing exceeded my expectations, and I was especially amazed by the fire dance! It was truly spectacular. The food and drinks were delicious, and I had a fun night that filled both my stomach and my heart. It seems that there are luaus happening in various places on the Big Island, but I would like to see one at a different location next time.

ハワイに来たなら、ルアウショーは絶対おすすめとどの旅行本にも書いていたので、今回このショーを見てきました。
期待以上に歌やダンスは素晴らしく、特にファイヤーダンスにはとても驚きました！ほんとに迫力満点です。
食事やドリンクも美味しく、お腹も心も満たされた楽しい夜を過ごすことができました。
ハワイ島では、いろんな所でルアウショーがやっているようですが、今度は違う場所でも見てみたいです。

This was my second time attending the luau show. I was so moved the first time I saw it that I wanted to see it again, and I enjoyed it just as much this time. The show was, of course, great, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. While the audience can enjoy the performance, it was impressive to see the performers genuinely enjoying themselves as they sang and danced. I believe it's a show that everyone can enjoy.

今回2度目のルアウショーでした。最初見た時にとても感動し、また見たいと思い参加したのですが、今回も楽しめました。
ショーはもちろん、食事も美味しく、スタッフも親切でした。見ている方も楽しめますが、出演者の方々が心から楽しんで歌ったり踊ったりしているのが印象的でした。
誰もが楽しめるショーだと思います。

During our family trip to Hawaii, we all watched this luau show and had a wonderful night. We sat in the middle of the front row, and it was incredibly powerful and moving. My daughter also enjoyed the show very much. I absolutely recommend this show to anyone going to Hawaii.

ハワイへの家族旅行の際、このルアウショーをみんなで見て、とても素晴らしい夜を過ごせました。
一番前の真ん中の席で見たのですが、迫力満点でとても感動しました。娘も喜んでショーを楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行く方には絶対おすすめのショーです。

This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.

今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした！！
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。

ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。

We could not pass up the opportunity to tell you Thank You for this Great experience! The group of people who put on this Luau need a giant pat on the back or better yet a big hug. They really put on a great show and it is clear they have fun doing it. Please tell them Thank you. By the way... we really adored the little pregnant hula girl. Aloha.

Seating began a traditional ‘Oli (prayer) in the hall of the Royal Hawaiian. It was nice to know Hawaiians stick with protocol nowadays. One could almost feel as if being present at a Royal ball, after all, that is exactly what this Hotel was built for in the first place; which made the atmosphere quite unique.

As you approach the lawn and with your first drink you are invited to spooned portions of fresh Ahi Poke, Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon, and Poi. Story-teller Joe starts by introducing himself and went directly into explaining what ingredients each spoon held and how it applied to Hawaiian post-western contact life. At the same time others from the hula halau demonstrated how kapa was made, inks were produced and designs printed. Ropes were intertwined by hand and foot and other chores were explained by docent-like-ladies-in-waiting. The Pupu platter was my favorite with the skewered chicken, crab cakes, and Butterfish that melted in your mouth.

With a unique approach, each en

My parents flew to Hawaii for the first time and I wanted to make sure they were greeted the "Aloha Way" with a beautiful, fresh Hawaiian Lei.
Before they left, I mentioned to them to pay attention for their names when they land in Hawaii. Amazing! The lady was waiting and my parents LOVED IT!! It started their vacation on a great note. My mom was so surprised and thrilled. She wore her lei all week!! It's been 10 days and the lei is still full bloom, fresh and gorgeous. I drove over to their house last night and saw it myself. She brought it back! She was so excited and the one point she made, "my lei was much bigger and fuller than everyone else's". She felt special. It was very nice. Thank you so much!! A million mahalo's!!

I knew there would be few Japanese participants, but it turned out that my husband and I were the only ones. Since we had both been attending English conversation classes, it was a great opportunity to test our English skills. The foreigners we were on board with were all friendly, and we quickly became friends, especially as the fireworks started.

I think there's no need to worry since the captain speaks Japanese.

However, we had to make our own way to the Word Center, which might be a bit of a hassle, and the trolley service has limited hours, which is a downside...

日本人の参加者が少ないとはわかっていましたが、日本人の参加者は私たち夫婦のみでした。
もともと夫婦そろって英会話に通っていたので、英語力が試せるいい機会になりました。一緒に乗船していた外人さんたちもみんなフレンドリーですぐに仲良くなれ花火が出る頃には盛り上がりました。
キャプテンは日本語が話せるので心配ないと思います。

ワードセンターまで自分たちで行かなければならないのでそれが苦にならなければいいですが、行くトロリーも時間が限られていてそこがマイナスです・・・

I joined in the afternoon, but I wish I had participated a bit earlier because it was so much fun. The show had a storyline, and even though I didn't understand the English, I still enjoyed it. The only disappointment was the food... There was Japanese food, but it was a bit different from the taste of Japan... However, since we were in Hawaii, the cheerful atmosphere made it all okay! I attended with my family, and everyone was satisfied. I heard that the content of the show changes next time, so I would like to participate again.

午後から参加しましたが、もう少し早い時間から参加すれば良かったと思うぐらいに楽しかったです。
ショーもストーリがあり英語がわからなくても楽しめました。
残念だったのはやはり食事・・・日本食もあったのですが少し日本の味とは違う・・・でもハワイですからうきうき感でこれもよし！！です。
家族で参加しましたが、みんな満足していました。
次回はショーの内容も違うということで、また参加したいと思います。

Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.

I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.

The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.

ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。

開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。

I have been to Hawaii dozens of times, but this was my first time participating. The food was just okay, but the show was wonderful. My friends who were on their first trip to Hawaii were also very impressed. Thank you very much.

ハワイには、数十回と行っていますが、初めての参加でした。食事はまあまあと言うところでしたが、ショーは素晴らしかったです。初めてのハワイ旅行の友人ご夫妻も、大感激でした。ありがとうございました。

Honestly, I was not satisfied with the food. It's not that it was particularly bad, but it wasn't delicious either.
There were many mistakes in the show as well, so it wasn't perfect.
However, you can clearly see that it's not just Waikiki in Oahu, Hawaii, but also the old town and the not-so-beautiful coastline.
It's worth visiting once, but it's not somewhere you would go multiple times.

料理は、正直、満足できなかった。特別、不味いわけではないけど、美味しくもない。
ショーも、ミスも多々あったし、完璧なものではない。
でも、ハワイ=オアフ島のワイキキ。ではなく、古い町並み、キレイではない海岸がある事がよくわかる。
一度は行ってみるのもいいけど、何度も行くものではない。

I was considering what to do after moving from the remote island. I signed up for the Polynesian Cultural Center with a light heart, as it included dinner. Shortly after we started, the bus broke down... but a replacement bus was arranged quickly, and thanks to the driver, we arrived on schedule. This is also a good memory. The park is quite large, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly for the whole afternoon. The show exceeded my expectations. This was my third trip to Hawaii, and it was my first time visiting, but I definitely think it's worth a visit.

離島から移動してからの行動をどうしようか考え。まだ一度も体験していない、ポリネシア文化センターでと軽い気持ちで申し込みました。ディナー付でしたし。スタート間もなくバスが故障・・でもすぐに代わりのバスが手配され運転手のおかげで予定通り到着？。これもいい思い出です。園内はかなり広いく、午後一日十分堪能できました。ショーも期待以上でした。今回3回目のハワイで初めて行きましたが、ぜひ一度いってみるといいと思いますよ。

First timers in Hawaii. We booked the Ambassador package, which came with a tour guide. She was quick to get us from one village show to another, getting us good seats.
We learned some pretty interesting things from the different villages about different cultures.
The food was ok. Nothing to turn backflips over. The "Ha: Breathe of Life" night show was nice. My wife loved it, which was very important.
KAP TAFITI, THE SOMOAN GUY IS VERRRRRY FUNNY!
Overall great experience!
Save your tickets. You have 3 days after to return and revisit villages at no extra charge. We just had to see the Somoan guy.

This was such a unique and a culture learning experience. We had a great time celebrating the history of Hawaii and its main events that occurred in the past. The food was delicious and quiet filling. The appetizer and the entree were my favorites. YUM! As you entered the Aha Aina, you're welcome with the many smiles from the staff, with their signature drink and their delicious pupus of Kalua pork, ahi poke, or poi. The staff were friendly, and the service was excellent! We will definitely recommend this event to our friends and family. We will do this again on our next visit to Hawaii!

i wanted to do something special for my girlfriend's birthday during our stay in Oahu.... Turns out it was a success!!!!

I booked the 3 star dinner w/ special occasion feature for my girl and I. The food was great! loved the lobster and steak... our waitress Jasmine was great also! It didnt take very long for us to get our plates.... The view of diamond head was amazing... When it was time for sunset, we headed up to the observation deck, WHAT A SIGHT!!!! We took a couple of photos and one of the other guests offered to take a photo op for us.... After seeing the picture she took of us, we realized what that picture could be! "something much more." as in, a Save the Date type of photo..... My girlfriend has an idea of what I was up to to since i mentioned the photo as a save the date type of picture but shes gonna be surprised when I pop the question in the near feature!!!!! THEN she can finally say that we can use this photo for our SAVE THE DATE picture!!!


thanks for the g

This was nice after such a long flight. Seeing our names when we got of the plane and being escorted to the bagage claim was nice, the leis were so beautiful and everyone commented on them asking us where we got them. They were WAY WAY nicer then the ones they sold at booths in the airport. I recommend this if you are celebrating something special or if it is your first time in Hawaii. Loved it :) They lasted days!!!!

We had a wonderful time at the center and the lua was great. We had a tour guide with us that allowed us to probably see more things but at the same time we couldn't really wander off on our own to see things that interested us. Overall it was a great day and would highly recommend this activity to anyone.

Had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It was a fantastic setting to propose to my girlfriend!

I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.

会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか？食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか？まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。

It was the best time we've ever had. The food,the entertainment, the view was excellant.

Our trip to Oahu began beautifully when Amanda met us at the airport with the lovely Hawaiian leis and sweet Aloha. These are gorgeous real flowers and they lasted the entire week we were there. Amanda was very cheerful and kind, took us to get our baggage and made sure we knew how to get a taxi to our hotel. She chatted about some local area attractions and was a welcoming start to our vacation. Landing in a strange place for the first time, it was nice to see someone there waiting for us and welcoming us to their area. Makes the Hawaiian vacation authentic and what we all think of when we think of Hawaii. Thanks, Amanda!!

The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.

料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。
