「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合!有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内>

Please enjoy while taking infection control measures. 感染症対策して楽しんでください

Reviewed by: まさひろ

I only attended the show without dinner. The staff were all wearing masks, but most of the guests were not, so I made sure to wear my mask and used hand sanitizer before and after the show to minimize risk. I also prepared extra masks just in case, as I was a bit concerned about droplets from the outside.

As a note, as of August 2022, a negative PCR test certificate is required for entry into Japan, so I acted a bit cautiously, but I think it's definitely possible to enjoy the experience if you take the necessary precautions. Of course, I was able to return home safely with a negative test result.

ディナーなしのショーのみに参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんはマスクをしていますが、鑑賞しているお客さんはほとんでどマスクしていないので、リスク回避のためにしっかりマスクして、携帯用の消毒薬でショーの前後で消毒するなどの対策をして楽しみました。マスクも一応外側の飛沫が気になるくらいではあるので、替えを用意しています。
前提として、22年8月時点で日本入国にはPCR陰性証明が必要になるなど、すこし注意深く行動しましたが、対策をとっていれば十分楽しめると思います。
勿論、検査結果陰性で無事帰国できています。

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau in Waikiki - Oceanfront Dinner Show with Hula & Fire Knife Dance

A great show in a beautiful setting.

Reviewed by: Kate

A great experience for the whole family. The show had a variety of dances and songs; and the performers were great. Also, being right on the beach with the sunsetting over the water and the lights of the cityscape in the night sky, it made for some beautiful pictures. We would definitely do it again.

Hawaii Loa Kohala Luau & Dinner Show with Open Bar at Fairmont Orchid Waikoloa

Great luau..

Reviewed by: Melissa

Overall a great evening. Missing pig ceremony is the only regret.
Dancers and fire workers were all very good.
Wish they would have had table appetizers like a few years ago. They did not offer Lei for purchase. When we asked valet for a Lei they were rude and said for guests only.
Location was pretty but no view of ocean.
Food was nicely presented and tasty.

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance

Good

Reviewed by: Val

I think more variety of food, the free alcoholic needs more alcohol. The guy who goes around collecting trash missed us not once but twice. We waved at him several times but he still missed us.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Val, I'm sorry we didn't have enough of a variety of food to your liking. We couldn't serve you a completely authentic Hawaiian food buffet because you probably wouldn't eat it. We had to do more of a local variety of island favorites to have more of a Hawaiian/American buffet. We offer baked fish, grilled boneless chicken, kalua pork(cooked in the imu, or underground oven), and teriyaki beef along with a fruit salad, macaroni salad, pineapple cole slaw, white rice, plus lomi salmon,& poi(a hawaiian staple)....sweet rolls, and couple desserts. Truly that is quite a variety of food. Not sure how much alcohol you expected,...but we have had some feedback about certain drinks being too strong, so I'm surprised. I'm not sure why the guy collecting the trash missed you, but I apologize for him. Thank you so much for your feedback, and hope that you will one day return to our island and our luau again!! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Melinda Kennedy

My daughter and I had a wonderful time at chief’s luau. The Chief was so funny and they all put on a great show! You could really feel the warmth of his personality shining through his speech and his humor made everything great. Tons of fire dancing, singing, story telling, and more dancing all around. Great food and great people to share the experience with. Felt like you were still in paradise. Definitely recommend purchasing close up seats and the lei package so you can get the full experience. Especially if it’s your first time in Hawaii. Totally worth every penny.

カニ・カ・ピラ・グリル  食事券&事前予約 カジュアルダイニング  お子様メニューあり<昼・夕/アウトリガー・リーフ・ワイキキ・ビーチ・リゾート>

It was delicious. 美味しかったです

Reviewed by: ななし

We went there as a pair. I showed the receptionist the screen from Veltra to communicate that we had a reservation, but she didn't seem to understand well. We were guided to our seats, but I was looking forward to seeing the live performance, and from my position, I could only see part of the instruments at the edge of the stage due to the building's wall.

Only the regular menu was left on the table, and we were left waiting. After a while, a male staff member came, and when I showed him the Veltra reservation again, he understood. I was asked which main dish I wanted, but nothing was asked about the appetizers, and they just brought two types without any discussion. For dessert, it was written on Veltra that we could choose from three options, but without being asked, two types were automatically brought to us.

All the dishes were delicious and the portions were generous.

In terms of location, it was by the poolside surrounded by hotels, and we could hear the voices of children playing, so it wasn't a quiet atmosphere with a view of the sea and live music.

2人で行きました。
受付の女性にベルトラの画面を見せて予約してある事を伝えましたが、よくわかっていなさそうでした。
席に案内されましたが、ライブ見られると楽しみにしてたのですが私の位置からは建物の壁でステージ端っこの楽器一部しか見えず・・

席には普通のメニューのみ置かれていてそのまま放置。しばらくすると男性スタッフが来たので
もう一度ベルトラのを見せると理解してくれました。
メインをどれにするかは聞かれましたが、前菜に関しては何も聞かれず、普通に2種類持ってこられました。
デザートもベルトラの内容には3種類から選べるように書かれていましたが、聞かれる事なく2種類が自動的に運ばれてきました。

料理はどれも美味しく量も多かったです。

ロケーション的にはホテルに囲まれたプールサイドにあり、子供達の遊ぶ声などもするので
海が見えてライブ音楽で静かな感じ〜とかではなかったです。

Feast at Lele Lahaina Luau on the Beach & Dinner Show with Open Bar

Excellent Everything

Reviewed by: Norm

Everything was excellent about this Luau:
- the location on the beach with the sun setting
- your own private table
- food brought to you instead of getting it yourself
- the variety of traditional foods presented
- the performers and their performances (especially the fire dance)
- the unlimited drinks
- the service staff
- the weather that day

OK, the only thing not so excellent was I had to pay $10 for parking across the street for the evening because I wasn't sure the 3-hour free parking about a block and a half away would be sufficient. Because we came an hour early (5:30 PM) to explore the area and the feast ended at around 9:30, you could say that was a most excellent decision.

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

A Hawaii "must do"!

Reviewed by: Stan C

A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.

The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!

Old Lahaina Luau - Maui's Most Authentic Hawaiian Luau Dinner & Show

Best luau!

Reviewed by: Chris G

I’ve been to three different luaus as I visited Maui 3 separate vacations . This one by far was the best. The food was excellent and they were aware of our dietary allergies. We had 2 children in our party and they enjoyed it also. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was fun and knowledgeable. The show kept us wanting more. The setting was gorgeous and the stage was in the middle so everyone could see. I would definitely go again but book it early! We tried the first 2 times and couldn’t get in. As soon as we knew we were going to Maui we book this luau first thing because we heard so many good things about it.

Good show but could be better...

Reviewed by: Heidi

The show was good. The host is very entertaining. Food is as usual, nothing spectular. Upon arrival, only adult received drink tickets which the description did not indicate kids and youth don't get ticket for drink. With the price, the kids deserve soda tickets. It will be better if there are more pre-show activities, such as more photo backdrops and more lighting.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Awesome Show

Reviewed by: Lydia

We had a really great time. From our bus host to the main event. Cousin Tao was our bus host and she made the 45 minute bus ride fly by. She educated us on the culture the tattoos and made us laugh. She talked about pearl harbour, the climate of the island, as well as some of her native language.

We enjoyed the food. The pork was flavorful, chicken was good. Like anyone, I stayed away from what I knew I wouldn't like. Drinks were ok, but we aren't big drinkers to begin with. The main show amazing. Chief was very entertaining. The dancers were authentic. They tell a story and explain each islands culture, while entertaining you. The finale was great with multiple fire knife world champions. I highly recommend this luau! Yeah it's not on the beach, but so what! I learned about the culture, and had great food.
Also at the end of the night we ended up with two drunk strays. Cousin Tao, even though she didn't have to. She could've just said sorry you aren't on the roster and made them get off the bus. She
Called her boss, asked him to come back to bring them back to Waikiki. I thought that was super nice of her. If you want a genuine luau experience go to Chiefs luau.

Had a great time once we arrived

Reviewed by: R Gaspar

Our arranged bus was 20 min late, but part of the blame was a nearby hit and run (so traffic staggered around the police and paramedics). This caused us to miss most of the pre-show. Can't really fault anyone for that - just wished we had experienced it.
They no longer separate parties by table, so no more actual COVID separation (on paper/signs, they ask people to wear masks when away from their tables, but hardly anyone did so and no one enforced it).
Food was great. Buffet style, both sides of 2 rows of tables. Pick what you want, go back as much as you want. Lines were quick.
Performance was awesome. I wasn't aware that they had world champion fire dancers in the troupe. I personally loved the stories and explanations of each dance.

Smiths Family Garden Luau in Kauai - Authentic Hawaiian Dinner & Show

Fun Night in Kauai!

Reviewed by: Anita

We thoroughly enjoyed the Smith Family Luau! Six adults and a an almost four year old, we all had a great time. The tram ride around the gardens was a nice way to start the evening, we enjoyed hearing the driver talk about the grounds and the tropical plants. We were a bit worried about the number of people in close quarters, but the staff did a good job of metering people as they went up to get their food. Our table, for seven, was actually outside, which was even better. The food was plentiful and everybody found something they liked. The variety of different tropical drinks was fun and easy to get more! The show was exciting, learned a lot about all of the cultures who make up Hawaii. Of course, our little guy LOVED the fire dancing! He said, “the Hawaii party” was the best night ever! If you are in Kauai, as a couple, with friends, or with family, be sure to make a reservation at the Smith Family Luau!

伝統ルアウ&フラ・ハワイアンショー ボイジャーズ・オブ・ザ・パシフィック(ロイヤルコナリゾート内)<月・火・水・金催行/ブッフェ夕食/飲み放題/シェルレイ付>

It's better to arrive early for the free seating at the Polynesian dance show with meals and drinks included. 自由席は早めに行った方がよい食事・飲み物付きのポリネシアンダンスショー

Reviewed by: Old Ballonist

I stayed at the Royal Kona Resort, which overlooks the show venue. As mentioned in the reviews, you can also see it from the poolside, but if you want to see the entire show, which lasts just under an hour, I think it's better to sit in the venue. If you expect good seating and service, the premium seats would be a better choice.

As I read in the reviews beforehand, I lined up 15 minutes before the reception started to get a good seat. Upon entry, we chose our drinks at the counter in order, and then we had to go pick them up ourselves. In the premium seats, they come to take your drink orders and bring them to you.

When the meals are ready, they guide each table. I didn't have high expectations for the food, so I took a small portion, but I was able to finish it all, so I think it wasn't that bad.

The show started earlier than I expected, before sunset, and it ended with the sun going down. The dancing included Polynesian dances, including fire dancing, which got the audience involved and excited. At the end, you can take a commemorative photo with the performers on stage in the background. You can also purchase photos taken of your group upon entry.

ショーの会場のロイヤルコナリゾートに宿泊して、たまたま会場を見下ろせる部屋でした。また、口コミ通り、プールサイドからも見えますが、1時間弱のショーを全部見るなら会場の席に座って観た方がよいと思います。席の位置やサービスを期待するなら上級席の方が良いでしょう。
事前に読んだ口コミ通り、良い席に座れるように受付開始15分前から並びました。入場時に飲み物カウンターで順番に飲み物を選んで手渡され、後は自分でカウンターへ取りに行きます。上級席では飲み物の注文を取りに来て、持ってきてくれます。
食事は準備ができるとテーブル毎に案内されます。もともと食事には期待していなかったので少なめに取ったのですが、残さずに食べられたのでそれほど悪くはなかったと思います。
ショーは思ったより早く、日が落ちる前に始まり、途中で沈みました。踊りはハワイ島というよりもファイアーダンスも含めたポリネシアンダンスで、会場から参加を募ったり盛り上がりました。最後には舞台上の出演者を背景にした記念写真が撮れます。また、入場時にグループ毎に撮影した写真を購入することもできます。
