When you go to the reception at check-in time, you are first seated at a long table outside. The spacing between the chairs is a bit tight, so it feels like you're crammed in among strangers.
You receive a complimentary welcome drink, along with two free drink vouchers (you can choose whether they include alcohol). The meals are served buffet-style, and there were also some light entertainment during the meal. The taste was average, but the drinks (cocktails) were delicious.
Before long, we were guided inside the venue to watch the show, and finally, it was time for the Hawaiian show.
It started with hula dancing, followed by impersonations of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, and there was also a fire dance. The quality of the show was high, and I really enjoyed it.
チェックインタイムに受け付けに行くと、まず外にある長いテーブルに座らされます。椅子の間隔がやや狭いので、知らない人の中に詰め込まれる感じです。
無料のウェルカムドリンク、それとは別にドリンク2杯の無料券がもらえます(アルコール有無が選択できる)。
食事はビッフェ形式で、食事中もちょっとした余興がありました。お味は普通かな。飲み物(カクテル)は、美味しかったです。
そうこうしているうちに、ショーを見るために館内へ入るように案内され、いよいよハワイアンショーです。
フラダンスに始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ダイアナ・ロスのそっくりさんショーがあり、ファイアーダンスもありました。ショーの完成度は高く楽しめました。

The entertainment was first rate and the food was surprisingly good. You don’t expect food served to hundreds of people at once to be hot and tasty but they have the logistics well organized and the buffet line moves fast.
The fire stick dancers were excellent, and the whole evening had a very authentic feel.

I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.
感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。

My new wife and I celebrated our marriage by visiting this place. It was phenomenal. I suggest you pay the extra money and upgrade to the royalty package. We sat right in front of the stage, were served our food and drinks, no need to get in line, given two commemorative bags for hot or cold food, and enjoyed ourselves so much. The host on the tour bus, Sia, gets Five gold stars and 100 thumbs up. She was so entertaining. Even when coming back, she was interactive at an exponential level. We are so impressed and happy when we think of her and the luau.
We will certainly be doing this again. Hopefully soon.

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.

Michael Jackson was terrible.
He was overweight, danced poorly, and lip-synced.
I wonder what he was trying to do—was there a lack of talent?
There was no emotion or satisfaction.

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
Aloha Kris! We're glad that you had a great experience at the luau and had fun. Mahalo for this review, we greatly appreciate it! Hopefully you'd visit us again. Mahalo nui loa!

Everything about this experience was perfect! The grounds are so beautiful. The food was very good and plentiful, as were the drinks! The show was great and I like that it was presented separately from dinner in their amphitheater. Everyone was very welcoming in the true spirit of Aloha!
Over the years, I have attended several luaus in Hawaii, at different venues on 3 of the islands and the Smith Family Luau on Kauai was by far the best!! I’m so glad that when I was researching which luau to choose that I chose them! My husband, our son, our daughter and her fiancé, and I want to extend a huge mahalo to the Smith Family for a wonderful evening!

I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.
マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。

It might always be like this, but perhaps due to the year-end usage, it was very crowded. The atmosphere was a bit awkward throughout because various groups were mixed at the long table for meals. When seated, the pineapple set on the table gave off a vibe of "please share it among yourselves," which further intensified the awkwardness. The taste of the buffet was just okay. During the meal, cast members performing hula and playing the ukulele came around to each table, but if you're looking for something more substantial, this might not be the place for you. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch a show, which was probably of high quality (the American guests were really excited about the Elvis and MJ impersonations), but it felt more like an impersonation show and lacked the Hawaiian vibe, which was disappointing.
いつもこうなのかもしれないが、年末の利用ということもあったせいかとても混雑していた。食事がロングテーブルに色々なグループが混雑しているため終始少し気まずい空気。着席時にテーブルにセットされてたパイナップルはこの辺りの人で適当に分けてねという感じで気まずい空気に更に拍車が掛かる。肝心のビュッフェの味はまあまあ。食事中にフラ踊るやウクレレ演奏するキャストが各テーブルを回って来るがしっかりとしたものを見たい人はココじゃなくても良いかも。食事の後、シアターに移動して観るショーはクオリティは高いのだろうが(アメリカ人っぽいお客さんはエルヴィスとかMJのモノマネでとても盛り上がっていたので)モノマネショーがメインといった感じでハワイっぽさはあまりないのが残念。
