The granddaughters thoroughly enjoyed the shows featuring Hawaiian dance, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and more! The reason is that Elvis appears in the animated movie Lilo & Stitch, which is currently very popular among kids, and many of his songs are featured in the film. So, the 6-year-old and 3-year-old granddaughters were overjoyed to see an Elvis impersonator right in front of them. Of course, the hula dance was also wonderful! This event was great! Thank you very much.
ハワイアンダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン等々のショーを堪能して、孫娘2人は、大満足でした!
その理由は、今、ちびっ子の間で、大人気のリロ&ステッチのアニメ映画の中に、プレスリーが出ているし、プレスリーの歌う曲が映画の中にいっぱいでているんです。だから、6才と3才の孫たちは、そのプレスリーのそっくりさんが目の前に出てきて、大喜びでした。
勿論、フラダンスも素晴らしかったですよ!本企画、良かったです!ありがとうございました。

The voucher issued states that the check-in location is "Hilton Hawaiian Village - Mid-Pacific Conference Center Rooftop." I heard that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I planned to arrive early and wait on the rooftop for a good seat. However, even after the scheduled time, no reception staff or anyone else showed up, and the local contact number was unreachable as the business hours had ended. In the end, I just had to go down to the venue and check in directly after the scheduled time. Unfortunately, I ended up at the back of the line and couldn't get a good seat, which was very disappointing. The luau show itself was good.
発行されたバウチャーには、チェックイン場所が「ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ - ミッドパシフィック・コンファレンス・センター屋上」となっています。
席は先着順と聞いたため、良い席を取りたいと考え予定の時間より早く屋上に集合して待っていましたが、予定時間を過ぎても受付スタッフも誰も現れず、現地連絡先の電話番号も営業時間が終了しておりつながらず。結局時間を過ぎて会場まで下りて行って直接受付すればよいだけでした。おかげで列の最後の並んでよい席は取れず、大変残念でした。
ルアウショー自体はよかったです。

It was an exotic experience centered around a luau show and Polynesian cultural experiences.
First, regarding the luau show, it is entirely in English, which is to be expected. I think other luau shows are not much different, so you should accept that.
The show features fire dancing and audience participation, making it enjoyable. The meal is a buffet and the taste is decent. I'm happy there are plenty of vegetables. Water and coffee are free, while alcoholic drinks are charged.
The audience consisted of only one family from Korea, not to mention Japanese or other Asian attendees, which added to the exotic atmosphere.
Depending on the plan, you can receive a $16 gift card, which you can use for drinks or souvenirs.
Before the show, you can enjoy activities like making flower crowns, experiencing body painting, and trying out Polynesian games. There was no aggressive tipping, and I had a great time.
ルアウショーとポリネシアン文化の体験やショーがメインの異国情緒漂う体験でした。
まず、ルアウショーですが、全編英語です。当たり前ですが。他のルアウショーも大差ないと思うのでそこは諦めてください。
ショーはファイアーダンスあり、観客参加ありと楽しいです。食事はビュッフェで味はまぁまぁ。野菜が多いのが嬉しいですよ。ドリンクは水とコーヒーは無料。アルコール類は有料です。
観客は日本人どころかアジア系も韓国の家族連れの方が一組のみ。とっても異国感です。
プランによっては16ドル分のギフトカードが貰えます。お酒でもお土産でも好きなものをどうぞ。
ショーまでは花冠を作ったり、ペイントの入墨体験があったり、ポリネシアの遊び体験があったりで色々と楽しめます。チップにがっつく様子もなく、楽しく過ごせました。
If you understand English, you'll enjoy it even more... For now, let's remember the bus number if there is a shuttle service.
英語が分かればさらに楽しめるでしょうが…。とりあえず、送迎ありの場合はバスの番号を覚えておきましょう。

On July 19th, during our trip to Hawaii, my family and I (a party of 12) attended the Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip.
From the start, the event felt more like a tourist trap than a cultural celebration. The performers wore plastic grass skirts and danced on astroturf, which cheapened the experience and made it feel like a stylized imitation rather than a tribute to Hawaiian tradition.
The buffet was just as underwhelming. The meats were dry and chewy, and several of us left our meals half-eaten. We all ended up searching for food elsewhere after the show.
When purchasing tickets, we noted that they included premier seating for the show—something we specifically chose so the younger members of our group could engage and see the performance clearly. However, we were seated near the back with no explanation. The seating appeared entirely random, and there was no effort to honor the premier designation.
The show itself was bizarre. It was supposedly a journey through Hawaiian music and culture, but the execution was confusing. While we expected an Elvis tribute, it felt like a full concert with song after song. Then came a Michael Jackson impersonator performing Thriller and several other full-length songs. We learned during the show that he once performed at Aloha Stadium, but the connection felt forced and irrelevant. A few of us dozed off, while others sat in disbelief trying to make sense of it.
The performance dragged on far too long. With a tighter runtime and focus on authentic Hawaiian culture, it could have been enjoyable. The fire dancer was the highlight, but came too late to redeem the evening.
Overall, this luau was inauthentic, overpriced, and not worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

The content of the show was excellent! However, the service at the Hilton hotel was disappointing. When I checked in at Hilton's Kingsland, the concierge advised me to arrive early to secure a seat, but when I actually went, I couldn't enter until the scheduled time. Despite having reserved a premium seat, I was made to wait in the general line. There were people who were allowed to enter preferentially, while we were left waiting and then admitted as general attendees. The event was held at a completely different location than what the concierge mentioned. What is the point of having a concierge??? But the show was absolutely fantastic.
ショーの内容は最高でした!
が、現地ヒルトンホテルの対応はいただけない。
ヒルトンのキングスランドにチェックインの際にコンシェルジュに確認したときは早めに行って席を確保したほうがいいといわれたのに実際に行くと時間まで入れずプレミアムシートを予約していたにも関わらず一般の列に並ばされた。
優先的に入っていく人たちもいたのに我々は待たされた挙句一般で入場。
コンシェルジュの言ってた全く違う場所での開催でした。なんのためのコンシェルジュ???
でも、ショーは最高によかったです。
It's better to clearly communicate the details of the ticket.

The various workshops and experience events, such as lei making, really captured the Polynesian atmosphere and were enjoyable. My child was delighted to take pictures with a parrot.
The show was very authentic, featuring not only female dancers but also male hula dancers, and we enjoyed both traditional dances from various countries (hula kahiko and Tahitian 'ote'a) and contemporary dances (hula 'auana and Tahitian aparima). The dancers were very skilled, and it was not just a show dance but truly impressive. The hosts, singers, and backing musicians were also wonderful, and the food was delicious, making it a very memorable luau experience.
Although the entire presentation was in English and there was no Japanese support, I felt that using a translation app would solve any issues.
レイメイキングなどの各種ワークショップや体験イベントはポリネシアンの雰囲気がとても出ていて楽しめました。
こどもはオウムと写真を撮れて喜んでいました。
ショーはとても本格的で、女性ダンサーだけでなく男性のカネダンサーもおり、各国の伝統的なダンス(フラカヒコやタヒチアンオテア)と現代風ダンス(フラアウアナやタチヒアンアパリマ)どれもとても楽しめました。

Some comments mentioned that the food was not great, but all four of us were very satisfied. It's a buffet style where you can pick what you like, and since we had premium seats, we were able to get our food early while it was still available. The staff at our table frequently came to take drink orders. The show was enjoyable from start to finish. There were luaus, hula performances, and Hawaiian songs, allowing us to fully experience Hawaii. Although the exchange rate is poor right now, making it feel expensive, it was still a great way to create family memories.
食事が今一つというコメントもありましたが、我々4人は全員大満足してました。ブッフェスタイルで好きなものを取りにいきますが、プレミアムシートだったので、早めに空いている中で取りにいけました。飲み物はテーブル担当スタッフがこまめにオーダーを取りにきてくれます。ショーは、初めから最後まで楽しむことができます。ルアウもあればフラやハワイアンソングもあり、ハワイをたっぷり感じることができます。今は為替レートが悪いので高額に思いましたが、それでも、家族旅行の思い出作りにはよかったです。

We recently attended the dinner show and overall, it was a very decent experience—definitely worth checking out at least once. It came highly recommended, and while parts lived up to the reviews, I did leave feeling slightly underwhelmed in a few areas.
The food was decent, but my family and I were hoping for more traditional Hawaiian dishes. I was especially looking forward to laulau and Hawaiian mac salad, which weren’t on the menu. While the meal was fine, it didn’t quite match the authenticity I’ve experienced at other luaus on different islands. That said, the piña colada was excellent!
The pre-show, including the unearthing of the pig, wasn’t quite what I expected, but the grounds were absolutely beautiful—immaculately maintained and fun to walk through, especially with the live animals.
Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. The Smith family did a great job hosting, and the main host was especially entertaining and engaging. Their humor and hospitality were highlights of the evening

Pros: pig roast being done onsite, got to witness uncovering and presentation of the pig. (my son hated this portion!). menu and performances were both great! I liked different island nations being represented in music and dance and a little bit of story telling/history to tie it together. performance was good length and sunset was gorgeous! desserts and beverages were also delicious.
Cons: attempted to check in entire luau at one time slot. made for a lot of time waisted waiting in hotel lobby check in line. check in inside and then second check in outside felt redundant. we arrived at 5:22, email confirmation had suggested 5:30 check in, but spent several (20+ minutes) waiting to check in. by the time we arrived in luau area, we missed the 'activities' portion of the luau. we also missed the royal entrance of the luau show. we did however have great seats so first-come-first-seated wasn't an issue.
brief meet and greet with performers after the show felt rushed -- they were spread along exit sidewalk and available for a quick picture but were ushering us along immediately, without any chit chat -- which is a huge difference compared to other luaus.
professional photography of your party was an additional $25 for digital download. fresh lei's were an additional $10 each, which in my opinion were reasonably priced but I've had digital photography and leis included at other similarly-priced luaus.
having dined at this marriott the night before and spoken to several guests in the week it seems this particular marriott has become quite overpriced for the level of service and age of property it's become. it has an outstanding location, but is overpriced for the level of service or hospitality i've experienced at other similarly priced marriotts in the islands. pool and restaurants were crowded and bonvoy perks were lacking/zero. kids meals were reasonable, but got charged $10 each for kids scoop of vanilla icecream.
go earlier than confirmation email suggests if pre-show activities or royal entrance are important.

You can enjoy songs and dances based on the historical concerts held in Hawaii, starting from the music and dance of the 1920s, through Elvis in the 1950s and 60s, to Michael Jackson in the 1980s and 90s. After the show, you can interact with the performers and take commemorative photos. The two lead roles may be played by different artists than those shown in the promotional photos, as they might be double or triple cast. I believe even those who are not familiar with that era will find it enjoyable.
1920年代のハワイ音楽とダンスから始まり、1950〜60年代のプレスリー、1980〜1990年代のマイケルジャクソンと、ハワイで歴史的なコンサートを行なった事実をベースに歌とダンスで楽しめます。ショー終了後は出演者たちとの触れ合いや記念写真が撮れます。主演の2人はダブルキャストかトリプルキャストだと思うので宣伝の写真とは違うArtistが出演する場合があります。当時を知らない世代の方でも楽しめると思います。
There are set tickets that include meals, but personally, I recommend purchasing just the show tickets as it allows you to choose your meals freely.
食事付きのセットチケットもありますが、ショーチケットだけ購入して観覧するほうが、自由に食事を選べるので個人的にはおすすめです。

Of course you can’t predict rain in Hawaii but you can have spots to seek cover. The event did pass out rain plastic but only once at the beginning and we did not get any.
Once the rain passed there was no attempt to wipe chairs so even if the rain stopped you were still soaked.
The hurried the show to see a quick fire dancer set but that was not that good.
Even without the rain you couldn’t see. The tables in rows made it difficult. The food was ok. The drinks didn’t not taste like any alcohol was in them just super sweet drinks. Overall I was not happy with the event.
Look for a smaller venue.
