All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The buffet had a variety of dishes from different countries, and I was happy to be able to choose my favorites. The performers seemed to be having a great time showcasing their talents, which made it enjoyable for us as well. I'm glad I decided to splurge a little and participate. Thank you very much.

ビュッフェ料理は色んな国の料理があって、自分の好きなものを選べて良かったです。
パフォーマンスは演者の方々がとても楽しそうに披露してくれて、こちらまで楽しくなりました。
少し奮発して参加を決めて正解でした。
ありがとうございました。

We had a great time. Good food and drinks and entertainment. It did take some time to get started but overall great experience!

Due to the rain, we couldn't see the fireworks and had a buffet inside the hotel instead. We had a family photo taken, which we could purchase, but it wasn't free. There was a welcome drink available. Unfortunately, we didn't receive any leis. It was disappointing since the kids were looking forward to it. We had drink tickets for three drinks, but we only had one. The cultural experience felt a bit lacking as well. The show was good, though. I thought we wouldn't be able to see the fire dance indoors, but we were able to, which was nice. The buffet had a limited selection, but it was delicious. The seasoning was suitable for Japanese tastes, and the kids went back for seconds. Overall, it was below expectations due to the rain, but I hope to participate again next time, praying for sunny weather.

雨のため花火は見れず、ホテル内でのビュッフェでした。家族写真を撮ってもらい、購入できます。無料ではありません。ウェルカムドリンクあり。レイはもらえませんでした。子供が楽しみにしていたので残念でした。ドリンクチケットが3杯分ありましたが、一杯しか飲みませんでした。文化体験も、今一な感じでした。ショーは良かったです。ファイヤーダンスも室内だから見れないと思っていましたが、見れたので良かったです。ビュッフェは品数少なかったですが、美味しかったです。日本人にも合う味付けで、子供達もおかわりに行きました。トータルして雨だったので期待以下でしたが、次回も晴れるのを祈って参加したいと思います。

It was pouring rain and cold, and the seats were cramped. The foreigner next to me smelled strongly of perfume, which was disappointing. However, the show was incredibly fun! One more disappointment was that even though I reserved VIP seats, I ended up at the edge. I think it's better to make a reservation without a meal for this show. I believe both Elvis and Michael were at a high level.

土砂降りの雨で寒いし、席が、狭くお隣の、外人は香水の匂いで、くさ〜いしで残念でした。
ですが、ショーは最高に楽しかったです。もう一つ残念なのはVIP席を、選んで予約したのにハジの席でした。このショーは食事無しでの、予約が良いと、思います。
エルビスもマイケルも、レベルが高いと思います。

Although the weather was bad during the meal, I was glad that the tent was well-prepared for rain and wind. The buffet menu was abundant, and I was able to enjoy a lot of local flavors in the food.

In the VIP section, there were seats where we could see the dance lessons up close, and it was amazing to practice while interacting with the dancers!

I was able to watch the show from the front row indoors. The lively dance and singing filled my heart with warmth.

After the show, the performers lined up at the exit, allowing us to take photos together. They were very kind and took the time to pose with us!

This became my best memory from my first trip to Hawaii!

食事中は悪天候でしたが、テントでしっかり雨風対策がされていて良かったです。
ビュッフェのメニューも豊富でローカルな味わいのご飯をたくさん食べることができました。
VIP席では踊りのレッスンも間近に見られる席が準備され、ダンサーと触れ合いながら練習できて最高でした！

ショーは室内で最前列で見ることができました。
心弾むダンスと歌で気持ちが熱く満たされました。

ショーが終わった後に、出口までずらりと出演者が並んでいるので一緒に写真撮影をすることができます。
とても親切で丁寧に一緒に撮ってもらえました！

初ハワイでの一番いい思い出となりました！

Really enjoyed the food and entertainment both while eating and fabulous Polynesian show afterwards. Even liked the poi. I ate it with the lomi lomi salmon and it was really great that way. The Polynesian show was one of the best saw here on the Islands. Had a great story line that really made the show. Great music all the way through.

I appreciate the guy who met us in the arrival area. Although it lacks enthusiasm and hospitality.

I participated again this year, just like last year. Since I have a family member in a wheelchair, I was unsure whether to reserve seats directly on the site, but because it was during the credit card discount period, it turned out to be more economical to book through Beltora, so I made the reservation.

Last year, I could only reserve seats in the seating area through Beltora, but this time I was able to reserve a wheelchair space, which was great. The staff scanned the QR code I saved on my phone. Since the venue is accessed via an escalator, wheelchair users are accompanied by staff who take them to the venue using the elevator.

The overall story was similar, but there were different performances compared to last year, so I think it would be enjoyable to go every year.

昨年に引き続きの参加です。
車椅子の家族がいるので、直接サイトで座席指定しようか、迷いましたが、クレジットカード割引の期間だったのもあり、ベルトラさんで予約した方がお得になったので、予約しました。
昨年はベルトラさんでは、座席部分でしか予約できませんでしたが、今回は車椅子スペース座席の予約ができたため、よかったです。
携帯に保存したQRをスタッフさんが読み取ってくれます。会場はエスカレーターであがっていくため、車椅子ユーザーはスタッフさんに連れられエレベーターで会場まであがる感じになります。
大まかなストーリーは一緒でしたが、昨年と違う演出もあり、毎年行っても楽しめると思います。

With the unique acrobatics that only Cirque du Soleil can offer, along with an invitation into the world of artistic painting and hilarious performances that involve the audience, it feels like an experience on a thrilling ride. Time flies by in an instant, and every moment is so precious that you wouldn't want to even blink. It's undoubtedly a valuable life experience.

シルクドソレイユならではの、手に汗握るアクロバットの連続に加えて、芸術的な絵画の世界への誘い、そして会場からの参加者を加えての爆笑パフォーマンス。そして最後は絶叫マシーンに乗ったような経験・・・。
あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまうのだけれど、一時も無駄に出来ない、瞬きするのも勿体ないような場面の連続、人生の貴重な体験になること間違い無し。

I had a reservation, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries. The server was very pleasant. As mentioned in other posts, it seems there is no consideration for anniversaries. (I informed them in advance that it was my parents' wedding anniversary, but there was nothing special.)

予約してあるので気軽に楽しめました。
サーバーの方の感じが良かったです。
他の投稿にもありましたが記念日についての配慮は無さそうです。
（事前に両親の結婚記念日にあたることを伝えましたが特に何もありませんでした）

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

​The evening began with a warm welcome as guests boarded the catamaran around 5:00–5:15pm, accompanied by live music at the dock. Light snacks were available and an open bar offered a variety of tropical cocktails and local beers, creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. The boat was quite full, which led to long lines at the bar and limited snacks at times. The sail departed around 5:30pm and lasted about an hour. Ocean conditions were still a bit rough following recent storms, but we were still able to spot a few whales, which added a special touch to the experience.

​After returning to shore, we headed straight to the luau and arrived while dinner and entertainment were already in progress, so we likely missed some of the pre-show activities such as hula lessons and cultural demonstrations. Dinner was described as a buffet, but it was actually set up more like a series of food trucks, kiosks, or booths, where guests visited different stations to receive plated items. While this setup provides a wide variety of options, it can also lead to using multiple plates per person.

​The food​ was catered by Moani Island Bistro, which was flavorful and well-prepared. Seating was first-come, first-served for this event, ​but even though​ we were seated in the back, we still had a good view of the stage. The show itself featured engaging storytelling, Polynesian dances, and impressive production elements like lighting and visuals, giving it a polished, theatrical feel.​

Overall, the combo offers a unique way to experience both a sunset sail and luau in one evening. However, timing overlaps may cause guests to miss some activities, and those sensitive to motion may find the boat portion challenging.

The meal was in the rain, which diminished the enjoyment, but the food was delicious. I hope to go again on a nice day.

雨の中の食事となり、楽しさが半減してしまいましたが、ご飯は美味しいかったです。
天気の良い日に、また行けたらと思っています。

Summer was one of the best tour guides you can have for this great tour. She was so warm and knowledgeable about many things on our tour, as well as a lot of Hawaiian History. Made the long tour going around Oahu wonderful.

I want to see it as many times as possible; it was a series of wonderful performances. The venue isn't too large, which adds to the sense of unity. It's the most memorable part of my trip to Hawaii, and I truly recommend it.

何度でも観たいくらい、素晴らしいパフォーマンスの連続でした。会場もそこまで大きくない分、一体感があります。ハワイ旅行で一番思い出に残っています、本当におすすめです。

This has been our 17th visit to the Old Lāhainā Luau and although it changes from year to year love the experience.

Food was delicious and dancing was amazing. Hostesses so friendly and welcoming
The only disappointment was , they asked if we were celebrating anything and we shared it was the 30tj birthday for our twin daughters (very special) & they only highlighted another older woman’s birthday and disregarded the other birthdays & celebrations. I’d say do all or none!
But overall we were satisfied and had a great time.

We enjoyed the performance combining traditional hula, music and dance with contemporary lighting and video. The food is great. Staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Beautiful setting. A few tweaks to the overall experience will likely be coming as they work through these opening weeks. Waiting in lines at the "food trucks" takes some time, and the hot food was getting cold by the time we got to our tables. Perhaps the sweet bread and cold food could be plated ahead of time and more personnel added to the hot food stations. The "welcome drinks" could also be poured as guests were arriving and served on trays to speed up entry. Perhaps different colored wristbands (or stickers) on arrival could designate drink eligibility rather than adding another wristband. We got there early, but did not have time to visit any of the activities--would have liked to visit the drumming, etc.

Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

We had a wonderful time this was 2nd time for my wife and myself. We were at luau last year and we had my wife’s sister join us for Hawaii vacation and brought them. They had a great time food and entertainment great. We will see you again

Thanks Mahalo

On est vraiment plongé dans l’apprentissage sur l’histoire des îles polynésiennes.

Le souper était à nouveau excellent et le spectacle HA le souffle de la vie est majestueux

It had been a while since my last trip to Hawaii. I always made sure to schedule a dinner show on the last day, but this time it coincided with the fireworks on Friday, so I decided to change the date. Since it was only the second day and I had an early morning tomorrow, I planned to keep it light and not order any alcohol. However, I ended up chatting with a Japanese couple at my table and joined in on their drinks.

I believe one of the joys of traveling is being able to hear stories and recommendations directly from those who have experienced various things. Anyway, the show was very entertaining. If it had been purely a Polynesian-style show, I might have dozed off due to jet lag and the early wake-up, as the music was quite soothing. However, the cast provided an entertaining performance that felt like a mini concert.

I particularly enjoyed the Michael Jackson segment, as I belong to that generation but had never been to one of his concerts, so I purely enjoyed the dance and singing. The couple I sat with seemed to be from the Elvis Presley generation, and they enjoyed it just as much.

The VIP package included drinks during the show, which was a nice touch. The food was also quite suitable for Japanese tastes, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Although the buffet offered additional servings, it was so plentiful that I could hardly finish anything other than dessert.

I received a lei at the hotel and got another one here to take home. The scent of the flowers lingered in my room, and since it was only the second day, I kept it on display until my return.

久しぶりのハワイでした。ディナーショーは必ず最後の日に入れていましたが、今回は金曜日の花火と重なるので日にちをずらしました。まだ2日目で明日も早い為、お酒など注文せずに軽く過ごす予定でしたが同席の日本人ご夫婦とお話が弾み御相伴に預かる事になりました。

旅の醍醐味は色々経験された方からのお話やおススメスポットを直に聞ける事も含まれているのでは無いかと思います。
話はそれましたがショーはとても面白かったです。純粋にポリネシアンスタイルのショーだと、時差ぼけと早起きが続いて、音楽が穏やか過ぎて寝てしまいそうですがエンターテイメントなキャスト達が繰り広げるプチコンサートの様な形相もありました。
特にマイケルジャクソンは世代ですがコンサートに行った事無い為、純粋にダンスや歌を楽しみました。同席させて頂いたご夫婦はエルビスプレスリー世代だった様で、こちらも同じ様に楽しまれていました。
VIPのコースの予約にはショーの間のドリンクも用意されていたのでこちらも楽しみました。お食事は日本人にもあう内容だったので美味しく頂きました。ブュッフェは追加で頂く事も出来ましたが
種類豊富でデザート以外はおかわり出来ない位充実してましたよ。
ホテルで頂いたレイと、こちらでもレイを頂いて帰りましたがお花の香りがお部屋に漂ってまだ2日目の為帰国まで飾ってました

We went during our family trip to Hawaii. The theater was compact, but the content was very enjoyable. As expected from Cirque du Soleil!

家族でハワイ旅行中に行きました
劇場はコンパクトでしたが、とても楽しめる内容でした
さすがシルクドソレイユです

Show was great! Chief and his family put so much positive energy into the whole event! Food was very good!

The Old Lahaina Luau topped anything else we experienced in Maui. The setting was so perfect and peaceful right along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Such beauty, talent and grace throughout the performance. The historical narrative was so interesting too. And they fed you well! Don’t miss out, book today.

ホノルルの夜に、最高の時間でした。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンなど似ているかどうかは、別として、楽しい夜を過ごすことができます。

Very friendly team. Highly recommend. Thank you very much

Friendly staff. Good drinks. Clear directions and information.

We enjoyed a tram tour through the gardens prior to the Imu ceremony, explaining the cooking process of the Kalua pig. Everyone on the property was welcoming and made out experience great. Food was typical luau fare, and seconds were offered after everyone had been through the line once. Bar was open for drinks, and we were allowed to take them over to the show at the pavilion for the show. The show provides some history, different cultures that melded in to current Hawai’i. It was very interesting. Overall a lovely evening.

I was looking forward to the Polynesian dance, but aside from the last performer who used fire, the atmosphere was greatly diminished by the presence of mostly Western and Chinese-Japanese performers. After all, Polynesian dance should be performed by those who embody the Polynesian spirit... Other than that, I was satisfied.

ポリネシアのダンスを楽しみにしていたのに、最後の火を使った演技者以外は欧米系、中華日系で雰囲気が大きく損なわれた。
やはりポリネシアダンスはポリネシアンの雰囲気を持った方が踊らないと…
それ以外は満足です

It was interesting. The audience joined in for a fun entertainment experience. It was great to watch from a good seat. I was able to enjoy it without getting bored.

おもしろかったです。
観客も一緒になって楽しいエンタテーメントでした。良い席で観られて最高でした。飽きずに観れました。
