All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Great lua, and the best food that I have had a a lua. The entertainment was outstanding.

Our guide was very informative. We loved learning more about each culture and participating in the activities. The food at the luau was fantastic and the entertainment was wonderful. The Horizons show was incredible.

I truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to all who come to Hawaii. Thank you so much for this experience.

I thought the center was enjoyable for the whole family. I definitely recommend the all day "Ambassador" package. It was great having a tour guide to take us to each village to ensure we didn't miss anything and arrived just in time to have perfect seating without having to wait. Our guide (Darrin from New Zealand) took our kids to do activities while my husband and I watched several pre-shows in peace and than he brought the kids to see the main show in each village. The dancing parade on canoes is a must see along with the Samoa village. My guide recommended the Prime Rib buffet dinner instead of the Luau Buffet. He said the food was much better, it was more quiet to have a break, and the show was just a mini pre-show to the one we were going to see at 7:30. I am definitely glad we did that and have to agree with him. The night show was spectacular and if you get the Ambassador package you get preferred sitting and ice cream during the show. Don't waste your money on the Super Ambass

The food was great, the show was amazing and watching the sunset with Diamond Head in the background was perfect! Much better than any of the other luaus I have been on!

Thanks for the wonderful greeting. It was great to see our sign when we first entered the airport. The flower choices and color were excellent!

I have been to the Smith's Luau many times as a couple and with family and friends over the years. As a child I went to the Fern Grotto with members of the Smith family on their private boat long before it became commercialized. I highly recommend these activities to anyone. The entire family makes everyone feel a personalized welcome and are anxious to make your occasion very special.

This luau was very nice. It was raining, so it had to be in doors. I think everyone should attend a luau in Hawaii, this was my third time and it has proven to always be a good experience.

A friendly person was at our gate to present my wife and my 2 boys with a lei greeting. Everything went just as planned.

This was a great way to start our stay in the Hawaiian Islands.. Mahalo!!!!!1

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the show.Every part of the show was first class.

It was a very nice experience! The flowers used for the lei were very beautiful and fragrant. The greeter was very friendly and gracious. I will definitely use the service again and again!

We visit Hawaii almost every year with my husband, but this time we participated in the Makani cruise for the first time.

It became a wonderful memory. The sunset was beautiful, and the night view of Honolulu while waiting for the fireworks was also great.

Just being out at sea, feeling the wind, and enjoying the cruise was a luxurious and lovely moment.

As time passed with the sunset and night view, the couples participating (including us) became more intimate, which was nice.

It was the best to feel like we were on a date again after a long time! |`・ω・)ノ

ハワイには旦那と毎年のように来ますが、今回はじめてマカニのクルーズに参加しました。

とっても良い思い出になりました。
夕陽はキレイだし、花火を待ちながら見るホノルルの夜景も良かった。

ただ海に出て、風を感じながらクルーズを楽しめるのはぜいたくで良いひとときでした。

夕陽、夜景と時間が経つにつれ、カップルで参加されてるお客様（私たちも）、親密ムードになり、なんか良かったです。

ひさびさにデート気分味わえてサイコーでした|`・ω・)ノ

I participated for the first time. I was looking forward to it because I heard great things from others.

I joined because it wasn't as extravagant as a dinner cruise, and I had participated in a dinner cruise before.

I prepared it as a little hidden gift for my girlfriend, and it was a complete success!!

Being out at sea and feeling the wind during the cruise was refreshing and helped me forget about everyday worries.

The sunset was especially beautiful after it had set, and we had a wonderful time together. While waiting for the fireworks with the night view of Honolulu, we relaxed.

I think the price is reasonable and I highly recommend it. I would like to participate again.

P.S. Taking motion sickness medication was definitely the right choice.

はじめて参加してきました。
他の方からの感想とか、スゴク良かったので楽しみでした。

ディナークルーズほど大仰なものでなくて、よかったんで参加しました。実際、ディナークルーズは以前にも参加したことがあったので。

彼女へのチョッとした隠れプレゼントで用意したのですが、見事に成功でした！！

海に出て、風を受けながらのクルーズはそれだけで何だか気持ちよく、日頃のこととか忘れ癒されました。

サンセットも沈んだ後が特に美しく、ふたりで良い時間が過ごせました。さらにホノルルの夜景を見ながら花火が上がるのを待ちながら、マッタリ~

料金もお手ごろでお薦めと思います。また参加したいです。

P.S.酔い止め薬は飲んでおいて正解でした。

We had a wonderful time. Not very please about the buffet. But we had the perfect view.... the shows are very entertaining. Mahalo!!!!!

I had an amazing time!
There weren't any staff who spoke Japanese, but the captain could speak a little, and there was another person who spoke broken Japanese and always checked in and talked to us, which made it enjoyable.

The boat was really rocking, and my friend got seasick, but I think it would be fine if you take motion sickness medication beforehand.

Everyone was friendly, and the wind felt great. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and the fireworks that started at 8 PM afterward were lovely!

The snacks were limited in variety, but they were quite tasty.

All the staff were friendly, and I had a fantastic time!

I definitely want to use this service again.

It gets cold at night, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket.

超楽しかったです！
日本語話せるスタッフはいませんが
船長さんが少し話せたし、もう一人片言の日本語が
話せる人がいて、いつも気にかけて話しかけてくれたので
楽しかったです。

船が超揺れて友達が船酔いしてしまったけど
最初に酔い止めを飲んでれば大丈夫だと思います。

皆フレンドリーでとにかく風が気持ちよかったです。
サンセット凄く綺麗でその後８時から上がった花火も
素敵でした♪

軽食は、種類は少ないけど結構美味しく食べれました♪

スタッフの人達が皆フレンドリーで超楽しかったです！

また是非利用したいと思いました。

夜は寒いので何かジャケットを持ってくと良いと思いました。

My wife loved the lei greeting. And the lei's were beautiful. We were greeted as soon as we walked out of the gate. I earned really good brownie points. Thanks again.

This was a great event. We enjoyed the tour, the food and the luau. We had a great time.

This luau was very nice. We throughly enjoyed the entertainment and the food. Very high class and would recommend to friends and family.
Will do again.

We had a great time on the Navatek. Met some really nice people. The problem was we were right in front of the entertainer's and some in the group complained the volume of the entertainment was too loud. Of course you really couldn't carry on a conversation during dinner because the entertainment was a bit loud! The service was great, the food fantasic, just the entertainment a bit too loud.

Had a really good time on the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise! The ride was real smooth and the dinner was good. I'll be making another trip aboard the Navatek when I return to Oahu!

Made reservations for the Twilight "Ambassador" package and the only difference I noticed between the "Ambassador" and the "Alii" package was probably just the seating assignment at the show, souveniers, and free ice cream desert during the shows intermission. Had a good time but I think the "Alii" package would have been a much better value considering there wasn't much of a difference between the two packages and I think I would have seen a much better overall view of the show. I wasn't able to see much on the other side of the stage because I was sitting to close to it.

What a wonderful way to start our Hawaiian trip -- with beautiful lei's placed around our necks at the airport, by a Hawaiian. Thank you so much!!

As the owner of an Ad Agency, I believe in the "experience" of each presentation. This was a great presentation and a wonderful suprise for my guest. I will do this again! Unlike the others, I noted our "greeter" was waiting direcly inside the gate exit.
Very Impresive! Thanks for making it extra special!

This was a great experience. Food was great service was great show was excellent over all this was a experience of a lifetime.

I initially hoped to book for Friday night, but as I relaxed, it filled up. When I reserved the morning tour, I received a cancellation email after they had already processed my registration. I felt frustrated and thought about canceling the tour altogether, but my desire to ride on a yacht was strong. I decided to go, accepting that the afternoon sun would be intense. Once we set sail, the captain's playful spirit made for a fun experience, and most of the people at the front ended up soaked. I had a great time! If I had managed to book the evening tour, I could have enjoyed the fireworks and sunset. Next time, I will book earlier. I definitely recommend it!

申し込みの時には、金曜の夜が希望だったのですが、のんびりしているうちに埋まってしまい、午前のツアーを予約したら一度は受付していただいたのに、突然キャンセルのメールが来て、何だ~詳しくキャンセルの事情ぐらい説明しろよ~・・・（プンプン）みたいな気分で一時はもうツアーは止めようか~みたいになったのですが、やっぱりヨットに乗ってみたい~というのが強くて、まあ午後からの日差しがきつくてもしょうがないから行ってみるか~程度で行ってみたんですが、いざ出航してみたら船長のいたずら心一杯の内容で前方にいた殆どがずぶ濡れになったりで、十分に楽しめましたよ~
これが夕方からのツアーが取れていたら、花火もサンセットも楽しめたのに~と、
次回は早めに申し込みますよ~。
是非お薦めします~

We have been to 3 other Luau's the food was the best here. We had 11 in our party Parents, Grandparents, and Children. We had all booked seperatly but the staff did place us together and were extremely helpfull and attentive. Last year we went to Paradise cove and for the kids it has a lot more to do. But this was close to our hotel and we all had a good time. It was money and time well spent.

It was amazing! Since it was Friday, we were able to see the fireworks. We were the only Japanese people there, and even though we had an 8-month-old baby with us, he slept well, probably because of the gentle rocking. So we took turns going outside to enjoy the scenery of Waikiki, the breeze, the ocean, and the fireworks. The light snacks were delicious, especially the wrap sandwiches, and there were also cookies and chocolate brownies. My sister tends to get motion sickness, but she was fine as long as she stayed on the outdoor deck. If you sit in the chairs inside for too long, you might feel nauseous... The wind was stronger and colder than I expected, so I recommend bringing a warm jacket rather than just a light cover-up.

最高でした！金曜日だったので花火もみれました。　日本人は私達だけ　８ヶ月のベビー連れでしたが、揺れが良かったのか　良く寝てました。なので交代で外に出て、ワイキキの風景・風・海・花火を堪能できました。軽食もラップサンドが美味しく、クッキーやチョコブラウニーもありました。　妹は酔いやすいタイプですが、ずっと外のデッキ部分に居たら大丈夫でした。中のイスにずっと座ってると、酔うかも・・・。　思ったより風が強く冷えるので、羽織る物と言うよりは、防寒着的な上着持参をオススメします。　

I surprised my wife and kids with the lei greeting. A pretty young lady was right there at the gate as we departed the plane. My kids saw their names first and did a double-take as they were not expecting the greeting. The leis were beautiful and it was a small but important start to our first trip to Hawaii.

Our family loved the whole day, the food
was as good as any cruise ship we have
been on. This is a must on our next
visit to Ohau.
