All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Much to learn about all of Polynesian in 1 day! Would go again

There is a venue on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and I was able to find it without any trouble. As soon as I arrived and completed the check-in, I was able to participate in the lei ceremony right away. Since my spouse and I wore aloha shirts, we were able to take beautiful commemorative photos with the lei draped around our necks, which was great.

Because we had reserved VIP seats, we were also guided to the buffet with priority. The freshly made roast beef and whole roasted pig were juicy, tender, and very delicious! We also received two complimentary drinks, so we had more than enough to enjoy without needing to order additional ones.

After the meal, we moved to the theater room, which was about a 3-minute walk away, to watch the Hawaiian show. The authentic hula dance was breathtaking. Additionally, we were able to see sharp dance moves and a tribute to Michael Jackson up close, making it a very meaningful time.

Being able to enjoy both the meal and such a show, I think it was overall a highly cost-effective entertainment experience. I recommend participating at least once if you come to Hawaii!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に会場があり、迷わず行くことが出来ました。
到着して早々、受付を済ませるとそのままレイセレモニーをしてもらいました。
夫婦でアロハシャツを着用して行ったので、レイを首から下げて素敵な記念写真も撮ることが出来て良かったです。
VIP席で予約をしていたため、ビュッフェも優先的に案内してもらうことが出来ました。
出来立てのローストビーフや豚の丸焼きはジューシーで柔らかく、とても美味しかったです！
ドリンクも2杯まで付いてくるので、追加で注文しなくても十分楽しめました。
食後は徒歩3分ほどのシアタールームに移動して、ハワイアンショーを拝見しました。
本場のフラダンスは圧巻でした。
また、キレキレのダンスやマイケルジャクソンのオマージュも間近で見られて、とても有意義な時間でした。
食事とこれだけのショーを楽しむことが出来て、総じてとてもコストパフォーマンスが高いエンターテイメントだと思います。
ハワイに来たら一度は参加をお勧めします！
※【2人目無料】人数限定モニターを利用して参加しました。

If you want a fun trip out into the water this is the place to book very reasonable for what you get the fireworks was not that long of a show but it was still very nice with music and a finale the crew was also so nice and fun they made the experience great I really recommend if your considering!

This was my second time.
The pick-up bus was about 10 minutes late, and the vehicle was small and cramped. The guide made excuses, saying, "There was an accident..." but the driving was rough until we arrived at Polynesian, and the guide (driver) seemed to get lost, which made me very anxious.
After arriving at the site, the guide walked ahead quickly, gave a brief explanation, and then dispersed us. It was really a haphazard tour.
The show was good, but I was dissatisfied because I couldn't explore any other areas at all...
We also visited a nearby building that made no sense for free... (I don't really understand the connection...)
It would be great if we could explore other areas in the afternoon as well.
Anyway, I thought the show was better than last time!

今回２回目です。
お迎えのバス(小)が約10分遅刻。且つ車は小さくて狭い。「アクシデントがあったので…」とガイドは言い訳をしていたが、ポリネシアンに着くまで運転は荒く、道を間違えるようなガイド(運転手)だったので、非常に不安でした。
現地到着後もガイドは一人でどんどん歩いていき、さっさっと説明し解散。本当に雑な案内でした。
ショーは良かったのですが、それ以外のエリアの見学が全く出来ず不満です…
また無料案内で近くの意味のわからない建物
の見学をしました…(よく関係がわかりません…)
午後からの見学でも他のエリアの見学が出来ると最高ですね
とにかくショーは前回よりも良いと思いました‼️

The entertainment was superb!!! The food, however, was cold, undercooked, and no flavor. I do understand the institutional food prep, but it could have been better.

This was a great sunset boat ride for our family of five. The staff was freindly and helpful. They made sure everyone was taken care of. Beautiful views of the sunset!

First, we started with a welcome drink. We toasted with a drink full of Hawaiian flavor, and since it was the first night of our trip, I was really excited. After that, we enjoyed a buffet meal. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and each one was delicious, which made me very satisfied. In particular, the whole roasted pig was impressive and tasty. During the meal, hula dancers performed in the middle of the tables, adding to the atmosphere. There was even a mini hula lesson. If you wanted to eat, it was perfectly fine to do so. Afterward, we had a dessert buffet and moved to the show venue. The show lasted over an hour, and I was very satisfied. At the end, we could take photos with the performers. Overall, it was a highly satisfying dinner show.

As a piece of advice for those experiencing this, you receive two drink tickets (separate from the complimentary welcome drink), which can be used at either the dining venue or the show venue. When we tried to order, we were told that the ordering time at the dining venue had passed, so we had to use them at the show venue. The dining venue has a wider drink menu and serves drinks in proper glasses, which enhances the experience. At the show venue, you can drink while watching the show, but the drinks come in takeout containers and the menu is limited. Please be aware that the drink order cutoff time at the dining venue is quite early.

まず初めにウェルカムドリンクからはじまりました。ハワイ感たっぷりのドリンクで乾杯し、旅の初日の夜だったのでとてもワクワクしました。その後、ブッフェで料理をいただきました。ハワイの料理もたくさんあり、どれも一つ一つおいしくてとても満足でした。特に、豚の丸焼きはインパクトもすごく、おいしかったです。料理の中盤からフラダンスの人たちがテーブルの真ん中でダンスしてくださったりして盛り上げてくれました。フラダンスのミニレッスンがあったりもします。食事したい方は食事してても大丈夫でした。その後デザートブッフェをいただき、ショーの会場に移動。ショーはたっぷり1時間以上みれてとても満足でした。最後に出演者の方と写真も撮れます。全体的にとても満足度の高いディナーショーです。体験される方にアドバイスがあるとすると、ドリンクチケットが2枚（無料の乾杯ドリンクとは別）にいただけるのですが、食事の会場とショーの会場どちらでも利用できます。私たちはオーダーしようとした時には食事会場のオーダー時間が過ぎていたため、ショーの会場で使用してくださいと言われました。食事会場の方がドリンクメニューが多いのときちんとしたグラスにいれてくれるので気分が上がると思います。ショーの会場ではショーを観ながら飲めるのですがテイクアウトの入れ物になるのとメニューが少ないです。食事会場のドリンクのオーダーストップは結構早めなのでそこだけ気をつけてください。

After the end of COVID, it's been a while since I've been to Hawaii! This was my first time enjoying live music while having a meal, and I was very satisfied with the Hawaiian music that resonated in my heart, the people who jumped in to dance hula, and the delicious food. I plan to sign up again next time.

コロナあけ久しぶりのハワイ！食事をしながらのライブ鑑賞は初めてて、心に馴染むハワイアンミュージック、飛び入りでフラを踊る人達と美味しい食事でとても満足しました。また次回申し込む予定です

Great service and fantastic dancing! We loved the entire show and Dinner! Fire dance was great at the end!

Good: the performers and MC where good. Bad: Food and Drink where minimum. Selection was limited. All seemed a little cheap. No quality drink choices. Best tequila was Cuervo Gold, really! What decade are we in. Ugly: the setting terrible. On a roof at the conference center. No ambiance. A conference room on the roof. Hilton could and should do better. I will not recommend. I picked this Luau mostly because of proximity to our hotel. That was a mistake. It was the worst experience of our week stay in Oahu.

We had the best time with this crew! My husband and I have done several sunset cruises in Hawaii and this one was by far at the top of the list! The crew was very fun, attentive, knowledgeable and kept the drinks flowing! What a great way to start or end your vacation!

And, we saw a full rainbow!!!

I didn't receive the VIP treatment I was expecting, but I appreciated how kindly everyone was treated, regardless of their category.

The show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael was, of course, impressive, but the local female singers also showcased remarkable vocal talent, making it a worthwhile experience. Among them, the final act with the fire knife was thrilling; I was worried they might get burned, but it was executed perfectly—truly impressive! Good job!!

The show's progression followed the calendar year, and the deep admiration for 'Iz' from Hawaii, who appeared on the screen at the end, made the entire performance even more moving.

期待していたほどのVIP待遇は受けませんでしたが、どのカテゴリーの人に対しても親切に対応されていたのは好感がもたれました。

プレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんによるショーは、言わずもがなですが、地元の女性歌手の歌唱力も目を見張るものがあり、見応え十分でした。
中でも、最終演目のファイヤーナイフは、迫力満点で、やけどしてしまわないかとヒヤヒヤしましたが、完璧にこなされ、まさにあっぱれ！Good job‼︎

ショーの展開が暦年を追った演出になっており、最後にスクリーンに登場したハワイ出身の『イズ/IZ』に対する深い敬愛がひしひしと感じられ、ショー全体がより感動的なものに仕上がっていました。

We loved the interactiveness this luau presented, got even us old folks involved!

Very upbeat and friendly hosts and staff, the night was full of laughing :)

We are so happy that we got to experience Old Lahaina, after the break they had to take to recover, they are back and better than ever!

This was the most perfect event. We has a great time celebrating our honeymoon.

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and fire dancing. Before the show, there was a buffet-style dinner, but with the staff's signal, everyone rushed to get their food, creating a huge line. As a result, there wasn't much time, and it felt like we just made one round through the buffet. The roast beef was delicious.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by a medley of impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and songs from local singers, which was quite enjoyable. After the show, I was able to take pictures with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

Overall, I felt that just the show would have been enough.

今回ハワイの伝統フラダンスやファイヤーダンスが見たかったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。ショーの前にビュッフェスタイルの夕食がありましたが、スタッフの合図とともに皆一斉に料理を取りにいくため、すごい行列となり時間も無くなりビュッフェといっても一通り１周して終わりといった感じでした。料理内容はローストビーフが美味しかったです。
ショーはフラダンスから始まり、プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのメドレーとファイヤーダンスや地元の歌手？の歌などでまずまず楽しめました。終了後出演者と写真を撮っていただよい記念になりました。
総合的な感想は、ショーだけでよかったと思いました。

Im not sure what we were expecting, but this surely exceeded our expectations! The timing of everything was great, lots to see and do. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. We opted for the train and I would highly recommend- especially if you are with kids. It was a nice easy evening ride through the ranch, farm, and orchards.
The show at the end of the night was also a favorite! Lots of quick paced action and dancing. Got to hang in till the end for the fire dancing!
A lovely way to spend the evening. And a real treat at the end of a trip.

This was a brilliant adventure, from the moment you get in line to enter and get your lei, to when you find yourself on stage dancing the Hula. The activities are great with a number of free cultural classes in the “kitchen” and around the grounds. Great photo opportunities as the sun sets, with great shots of the ocean, the city if Honolulu, and the mountain ranges.

I would recommend this for any other couple, or family regardless if there are or are not children.

I felt there were many Polynesian dances. There were fewer hula performances, but the fire show was impressive. The food was very delicious. However, the location was hard to find. Even the staff at the Orchid didn't seem to know much about it. I think I should have asked the doorman at the front entrance from the beginning.

ポリネシアンダンスが多く感じました。フラは少なめですが、ファイヤーショーは見応えがありました。食事はとてもおいしかった。ただ、開催場所がわかりにくかった。オーキッドのスタッフに聞いてもあまり知らないようでした。正面玄関のドアマンに最初から聴けばよかったと思いました。

Had an amazing time and very interactive and informative and the whole experience was beautiful everyone was super nice!

We had a great time on the fireworks cruise. The crew was fun and energetic and made everyone laugh. The drinks were nice and strong and service was fast. Some folks seemed like they pre partied all day and got a little raunchy. Families with young kids should keep this in mind (this is also warned on their website). The view was great and the music was fun.
A nice way to end the day!

This was our great experience to view the show, we really liked the drinks and food was amazing.

A relaxed atmosphere where you can feel at ease. However, the performance took a while to start, so I would have liked them to provide a start time! The food was decent! The performance was good, but the children in the pool were a bit distracting (laughs).

気軽な雰囲気でリラックス。ただ演奏か中々始まらないので開始時間を提示して欲しい！食事はまあまあのレベル！演奏は良いがプールの子どもは気になった(笑)

First, we enjoyed a buffet together, and then we moved on to watch the Rock-a-Flash show! When Michael Jackson's song played, I got really excited (laughs).

最初にみなさんでビュッフェをいただいてから、移動してロック・ア・フラショーを鑑賞しました！マイケルジャクソンの歌がかかったときは、テンション上がりました（笑）

This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!

We had Cousin Elaine and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and enjoyed our tour. She taught us a lot about the culture and history of the islands. She made the tour more personal by remembering our names and by calling us her ohana. This was one of the best tours I’ve been on, we got to stop and see a lot of the northern part of the island.

The Royal Hawaiian Center is quite spacious, so I struggled to reach the fourth floor, but I managed to arrive a bit early. Since I had made a reservation in advance, I showed my passport at the counter for identification and completed the check-in. Communication in Japanese wasn't very smooth, but I was somehow guided to my seat at the buffet-style dining area. I received a welcome drink and was greeted with Hawaiian dance, allowing me to feel the atmosphere of Hawaii.

As it was buffet-style, participants were called in turn to serve food onto their plates and then return to their seats to eat. Being a buffet, I could choose as much of my favorite dishes as I wanted. The roast beef was cut by the chef from a large chunk of meat. All the dishes were delicious, but the pineapple served at the table was the best. To enjoy the tropical vibe, I ordered a Chi Chi drink. The dining time was set longer, allowing me to finish my meal comfortably.

When it was time for the show, the staff guided us to our seats, and the show began. The stage was spacious, and the lighting was professional. The venue was lively with performances by impersonators of Elvis and Michael, hula dancing by dancers, and ethnic performances involving fire. Elvis even came down to the audience during the show and shook hands with us, which made me laugh because he looked so much like the real Elvis. He brought laughter to the audience with his talk at various points. Although I didn't understand much English, the enjoyable time flew by, and it was a very satisfying show. This is not just a hula dance show; it incorporates advanced Hawaiian elements into the entertainment, so those participating should keep that in mind.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターは広い為、4階にたどり着くのに苦労したが、何とか時間前に到着。事前予約していたので、カウンターで本人確認の為パスポートを見せて受付完了。日本語でのコミュニケーションは、あまり上手に伝わらなかったが、何とかバイキング形式の席に案内され着席。ウェルカムドリンクをもらう。ハワイアンダンスの歓迎を受け、ハワイの雰囲気を感じることができた。バイキング形式の為、参加者は順番に呼ばれて料理を皿に盛り、席に戻って食事。バイキングなので好きな料理を好きなだけチョイス。ローストビーフは大きな肉の塊からシェフが切ってくれた。どの料理も美味しかったが、テーブルに出されていたパイナップルが一番だった。南国気分を味わう為ドリンクはチチを注文。食事の時間は長めに設定されていて、余裕をもって完食。ショーの時間になると係の人が席に案内してくれてショーがスタート。ステージも広く照明も本格的。エルビス.マイケルらのそっくりさんによる歌、ダンサーによるフラダンス、火を使った民族的な出し物などで会場は大いに盛り上がった。エルビスはショーの途中、観客席まで降りて来て握手までしてくれた。よく似ているので、笑ってしまった。所々トークで会場に笑いをもたらしていた。（自分はあまり英語の理解ができなかったが）楽しいひと時はあっという間だったが、大満足のショーだった。フラダンス主体のショーではなく、先進的なハワイ要素を取り込んだエンターテイメントなので参加される方はお間違えなく。

I participated in the fireworks viewing on Friday. Since it was said that we would get wet while boarding the boat, I went in shorts and sandals. I had seen fireworks before on the Star of Honolulu, but there was nothing obstructing the view this time, and since it was a catamaran yacht, we got close to the fireworks, making it much more impressive. Everyone was drinking Mai Tais, but I requested champagne or sparkling wine. They served us baby-sized bottles, one each. I drank quite a bit and honestly don't remember how I got back to the hotel—definitely a reminder to be careful not to drink too much!

金曜日の花火鑑賞に参加しましたボートに乗る際濡れるとなっていたので半ズボンとサンダルで行きました花火は以前スターオブホノルルでも見たことがあったのですが遮るものがないのとカタマランヨットなので近くまで行ったのでこちらの方が迫力があります　皆マイタイを飲んでいましたがシャンパン？スパークリングワインを所望しました　ベビーサイズのボトルを1本づつ開けて出してくれていました　結構飲んでどうやってホテルに帰ったのかわからない位でした→飲み過ぎ注意ですね

Overall outstanding!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome view!!!!!!!!!!!!!
