All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I experienced my first sunset cruise in Hawaii. The waves were calm, and I could see the cityscape of Waikiki, Diamond Head, Kahala, and even Coco Head in the distance from the sea. The Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink and delicious! Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset because it was cloudy, but we were lucky to see a beautiful rainbow along the way. After getting off the boat, there was a shower nearby where I could wash my feet, and I was able to go straight to dinner. I definitely want to participate again next time I go.

初めてのハワイ、サンセットクルーズを体験しました。波も穏やかで、海からみるワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、カハラ、遠くにココヘッドも見えました。
マイタイは飲み放題、美味しかった！
残念ながら綺麗なサンセットは雲がかかり見れませんでしたが、途中、きれいな虹が見れてよかったです。
船を降りてからも、シャワーが近くにあり、足を洗うことができ、そのまま夕食に行けました。
今度行った時も是非参加したいです。

My family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The MC was fantastic and funny. The flower and anniversary leis were a wonderful touch. The activities were fun. The show was very entertaining, impressive, and the food was good too! The waterfall and hike were fun before too. Thank you for a fantastic day and evening! Mahalo!

I participated alone. This show is spectacular and definitely worth attending. We gathered near hotels in Waikiki and took a large bus to the Polynesian Cultural Center, which took about an hour. The meal before the show had a wide variety and was good, but I thought the portion of steak was a bit small. I reserved seats quite close to the stage, and many performers showcased traditional dances one after another, energizing the venue. The fire dance, in particular, where they weaved through flames multiple times, was moving. The show had plenty of time, and you could feel the performers' dedication. The arrangements for the return bus and the timing until departure were also precise. The price and content are very well balanced.

ひとりで参加しました　このショーは圧巻です　参加する価値大です　ワイキキ内のホテル近辺に集合し送迎の大型バスでポリネシアカルチャーセンターまで移動 約1時間くらいでしょうか　ショーの前の食事は種類も多く良かったのですが　ステーキの量は少なかった思います　ショーはかなり前の方の席を予約しました　ステージ上で多くの出演者が次々に伝統の踊りを披露し会場を盛り上げてました　特に火の中を何度もかいくぐるファイアーダンスは感動ものでした　ショーの時間も十分あり出演者の本気度が伝わってきます　帰りのバスの手配や出発までの時間も正確です　　料金と内容はとてもバランスが良いです

Last year, when I went to Hawaii, I saw it and wanted to try it this year, so I signed up. It was really cool and wonderful to see a woman at the helm. I participated with a friend, but my friend got seasick and regretted not taking motion sickness medication beforehand. Other than that, it was really fantastic. Thank you very much.

昨年ハワイに行った際に見かけて今年は乗ってみたいと申込みをしました。
女性が舵を取るのがとても格好良く素敵でした。
友人と参加しましたが、友人は船酔いをしてしまい酔い止めを飲んでおくんだったと後悔していました。
それ以外はとても素晴らしかったです。
ありがとうございました。

It feels like you can enjoy your meal while watching. The variety and amount of food and drinks are just right. With Alii Seat, you get priority entry and can grab the buffet first, and the staff at your table quickly ask for your drink orders and bring them to you. The show isn't flashy, but you can enjoy it casually while eating and drinking. If you don't understand English, you'll just have to enjoy the atmosphere.

食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。
Alii Seatだと優先的に入れてブッフェも先に取れるし飲み物もテーブル担当の方が直ぐに聞いて持って来てくれます。
ショーは派手さはないですけど飲み食いしながら気楽に楽しめる感じです。
英語がわからなければ雰囲気で楽しむしかないですけど。

Food was OK, performance not so good, singing was awful. Nice that there is a space for children to run around

We were a couple with Japanese people, and it was an easy-to-understand, enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful time with some Japanese mixed in. We even got nicknames, which made it fun to participate. I also received magic goods as a souvenir, for which I am grateful.

日本人は、我々の夫婦一組でしたが 日本語を交えてわかりやすく、楽しく、参加型で有意義なひとときでした。
あだ名もつけてもらい、面白く参加出来ました。
お土産で、マジックグッズも頂き　感謝です。

Good time overall! We enjoyed the dinner and show package.
Upon arrival we assumed we would be provided with the traditional lais (flower garlands) so didn't bring/wear our own, but we were told that is an additional cost...a little disappointed to come to a luau type event and not see everyone in hawaiian lais/ flowers.

The welcome drink provided was nice and there were a variety of food options available at the buffet.
We enjoyed the dancing and show during dinner... it made it more personable.
It would be great if there was more spacing at the table between guests (you're seated at a large rectangular table with other attendees) and if glasses were provided for bottles ordered (we received disposable plastic cups with the champagne we ordered)
The theatre show was overall great. It was nice to see music through time.
Wonderful singers, especially the host Chardonnay. The Chief fire dance was definitely my favorite part of the evening. You can see the work that goes into this production...it was a highlight of our trip and provided us with great memories for our hawaiian vacation! Mahalo!

This was an outstanding luau. I had read some reviews complaining that drive there goes through a industrial area. Who cares!? Once you arrive you are in a secluded, gorgeous property on the ocean.
The food and entertainment was outstanding. I went back for seconds on the pig, which they actually roast in the ground the traditional way.
This luau is the best bang for your buck on the island.

Once again this year, it was a five-star experience. The seats were spacious, and we enjoyed the live performance, the food, the scenery, and above all, the beaming smile of my partner. We had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.

昨年に引き続き　今回は5スター　座席もゆったり　ライブ、お料理、景観　そして何よりパートナーの満面の笑み　素敵な時間を過ごさせでいただきました
ありがとうございました

Whenever I'm planning to join a tour, I always wonder if it'll be fun for the kids too. Even though it's a bit pricier, choosing the Friday luau in the courtyard by the lagoon was a great choice! Even if the kids got a bit bored halfway through, they could play on the grass for a bit. And the best part was it was free for kids under 4, which was super awesome! What made me even happier was the kids buffet corner, with kid-friendly foods like Tater tots, Teriyaki chicken, and meatballs etc. We made some fantastic family memories in Hawaii.

The show was a blast, featuring dances from the various Polynesian islands.
There were even a few fire dancers, which the kids absolutely loved.

We were bummed we couldn't see the final fireworks from our seats, but watching them up close from right in front of the hotel was an incredible experience. Totally satisfied!

Great time with family. Amazing show. Good drinks. Great service.

This was our first experience on Hawaii (ever) and we were ecstatic at the outcome. This event is very well coordinated with scheduling and the showtimes. Since this was our very first time, we also opted for the VIP experiences. My wife, son, and I attended and because we booked online very early, we were at table 2 which was at the stage. Very nice combo of Hawaiian culture, language, meanings, and audience engagement. Food was excellent with multitude of buffet options. My only constructive feedback from this experience would be to reexamine how the check in process is done. Our check in was done in one lone single line and was also rather manual (paper verification and ticketing). Many other VIP ticket holders (ourselves included) found us at the front of the line (standing next to others) asking if we should wait in the line or if we should check in elsewhere. In summary, excellent event that is well worth the time and investment.

It was the best entertainment where I could enjoy the live performances of global singers Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson!

The show began by reflecting on Hawaii's musical history, starting with ethnic music and hula dancing, gradually building the atmosphere in the venue. After that, the two entertainers mentioned above appeared, and the audience reached a peak of excitement. Of course, it was an impersonation, but the concert show felt so lifelike right in front of me that even I, usually quiet, became enthusiastic! As a Michael Jackson fan, it felt like I was seeing Michael, who can now only be experienced through live DVDs, right in front of me.

There was also a fire dance, making it a content-rich experience to enjoy Hawaiian culture.

I signed up for a buffet plan before the show opened, and the food was delicious, making it a very satisfying experience.

世界的なシンガーであるエルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのライブを堪能することができる最高のエンターテイメントでした！

ハワイの音楽史を振り返るという形で、民族音楽とフラダンスから始まり次第に会場の雰囲気が高まっていきます。その後、上記２人のエンターティナーがそれぞれ登場し、オーディエンスが最高潮に達しました。もちろんモノマネではありますが、まるで生き写しのようなコンサートショーが目の前で行われ、思わず普段おとなしい私も熱狂！特にマイケル・ジャクソンファンの私としては、今やライブDVDでしかお目にかかれないマイケルが目の前にいるような感覚でした。

その他ファイアーダンスもあったりと、ハワイ文化も十分に楽しめる内容となっていました。

また私はショー開園前のビュッフェ付プランで申し込みましたが、食事も美味しく非常に満足のいく内容でした。

Amazing and warm welcoming staff on every corner; the performances are top notch, we were entertained to a great FINALE show, Buffet Dinner was overwhelming!

We loved and enjoyed learning a lot of things about the Polynesian culture! All the performances were just by fat the best. I love the activities in each country that you can participate in, hands on and fun too!

My son is a typical “everything boring” esp by the wnd of the day, but as soon as the lights went off for the “HA” show he was mesmerized and totally enjoyed it.

We wanted to experience the LUAU dinner but I think we did not look through good enough with the package we bought. Buffet Dinner was not bad at all…just missed seeing a traditional lu’au

Next time!

Nice people, beautiful weather, and a great sunset!

This is my fifth time participating in the Mai Tai Catamaran sunset cruise, and I never get tired of it. Since it's a catamaran yacht, it doesn't heel, and enjoying the famous cocktails while watching the sunset is just the best. I plan to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

マイタイカタマランのサンセットクルーズには5回目の参加ですが、何度参加しても飽きませんね。カタマランヨットなので艇がヒールする事も無く名物のカクテルを頂きながらのサンセットは最高ですね。また次回ハワイを訪れたら参加しようと思います。

Since it was at the Royal Hawaiian Center, the location was easy to find, and even if you don't understand English, you can simply show your voucher at the reception and it goes smoothly.

You can enjoy local Hawaiian cuisine while watching hula dancing up close, and there was also a ukulele performance at each table. A welcome drink was included, and you could get an additional drink for free! The food was served buffet style, and it was satisfying in taste.

There was also a hula dance lesson, making it enjoyable for everyone from children to adults. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch the show, and it was just amazing! Traditional hula dancing, fire dancing, Michael, Elvis... it was packed with entertainment, and time flew by. After it ended, there was a time to take photos with the performers, which was a lot of fun! I was very satisfied to see an authentic show!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターだったので場所もわかりやすく、受付も英語がわからなくてもバウチャーを見せるだけですんなり出来ました。
ハワイのローカルな料理を味わいながら間近でフラダンスを見ることができ、席ごとにウクレレ演奏もして頂きました。ウェルカムドリンクが１杯ついていて、プラスでもう一杯無料でした！料理もビュッフェスタイルで、味も満足できるものでした。
フラダンスレッスンもあり子供から大人までみんなが楽しめる内容でした。
食事後シアターに移動してショーを見ましたが、とにかく凄い！伝統的なフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、マイケルにエルビス、、盛りだくさんであっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。終わったあと出演者の人達と写真が撮れる時間もあったのでとても楽しかったです！本場のショーを見ることができ大満足でした！

I think both first-time visitors to Hawaii and those who have been many times can enjoy it. I felt the history of Hawaii along with the music and hula, and I was surprised by the high quality of the impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson who performed in the second half. On the day of the event, there was also a group of students from America watching, so the whole venue was very lively.

As for the buffet before the show, it was organized so that each table was called to go get food, so if you were at the back of the line, it took a while to start eating. I think it's better to arrive early if you want to take your time enjoying the meal.

ハワイが初めての人も何回も行っている人も楽しめると思います。
音楽やフラと共にハワイの歴史も感じられたし、後半に出演するプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんもクオリティが高くてびっくりしました。
当日はアメリカかな？の学生の団体も鑑賞していたので会場全体が大盛り上がりでした。

ショーの前のビュッフェですが、テーブルの列ごとに声が掛かって取りに行けるようになっていたので、受付の順番が遅いとなかなか食べ始めることが出来ませんでした。
ゆっくり時間をかけて食べたい方は早めに行かれた方がいいと思います。

I booked Rock-a-Hula for my wife, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time on our honeymoon.

It was a great experience to interact with people from other countries while sitting around the table with others who had also reserved the same buffet.

At the buffet, we were able to enjoy a lot of Hawaiian dishes. Everything was delicious, and it made our time more enjoyable as we shared it with those around us. My wife particularly loved the pineapple and kept eating it (laughs).

The show after the buffet was very satisfying. It summarized the history of Hawaiian music in an easy-to-understand way by decade, making it very enjoyable.

Both the hula dance and fire dance were very captivating.

The shows featuring Elvis and Michael were so enjoyable that it felt as if they were still alive, which made me personally very happy.

My wife was also thrilled to see this show on her first trip to Hawaii, so I felt it was a great choice.

It was such an amazing experience that I would love to see it again if the opportunity arises.

新婚旅行にて初めてハワイに行く妻の為に今回ロック・ア・フラを予約しました。

同じビュッフェを予約した方と対面してテーブルを囲む形式で他の国の方々と交流が出来、とても刺激になりました。

ビュッフェではハワイ料理を沢山味わうことができました。どの料理も美味しく、より周りの人と楽しみながら過ごすことが出来ました。
妻はパイナップルが特に美味しかったようでずっと食べてました(笑)

ビュッフェが終わったあとのショーはとても満足感のあるものでした。
ハワイの音楽の歴史を簡単に年代ごとでまとめてくれてありとても分かりやすく楽しめるものでした。

フラダンスもファイヤーダンスもとても魅力的でした。

エルヴィスとマイケルのショーはまるで本人たちがまだ生きていたのではと思うほど楽しめるもので僕個人としては嬉しかったです。

奥さんも初めてのハワイでこのショーを見れてとても喜んでいたのでここを選んで良かったなと思いました。

また機会があればもう一度見たいと思うような最高のものでした。

This is an entertainment experience recommended for both first-time visitors and repeat travelers to Hawaii. It was my first time participating, and the pre-show dinner exceeded my expectations in both quality and quantity.

The main show, while a tribute performance, was not at all trivial; it was a well-crafted entertainment experience with impressive stage production that left a strong impact. The setting kept everyone engaged, and the audience was united in enthusiastic applause for the wonderful performance. I believe attending this event is definitely worth it.

ハワイ初心者にもリピイターにもおすすめのエンターテイメントです。
　初めての参加でしたが事前のディナーも予想外に質量とも大満足です。
　メインのショーはそっくりさんのショーとはいえ、全く馬鹿にする内容でなく、完成されたエンターテイメントで舞台演出も大迫力の感激もので、全く飽きること無い舞台設定で会場の観客が一体化して大盛り大歓声で素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした、
一度参加しても損は無いと思います。

I've participated in various tours, but this one was among the top two I've ever experienced.

This time I joined the VIP course, and the variety and quantity of the dinner were incredible—so lavish that not even all the participants could finish it. It's a buffet style, and if you go about 10 minutes after the initial rush, it goes smoothly. The staff's performances during dinner were also engaging and kept us entertained.

After about an hour, we moved to the hall for the show. The fire dance unique to Hawaii and the performances by Elvis and Michael impersonators were breathtaking!

Next time I go with someone, I will definitely repeat this tour.

いろいろなツアーに参加してますが歴代1〜2位を争うほど最高なツアーでした。

今回VIPコースの参加となりましたがまずはディナーの種類や量が半端なく参加者全員でも食べきれないほどの豪華でビュッフェスタイルですが最初の混雑を10分ほどずらして行くとスムーズです。
ディナー中のスタッフの演出も飽きさせないものでした。

1時間ほどでホールに移動してショーが始まります。
Hawaii特有のファイアーダンスやエルビス、マイケルのそっくりさんのパフォーマンスには圧巻です！

次誰かと行く時はこのツアーリピします

The crew was great . Very welcoming , accommodating and friendly . The music was entertaining and the drinks were perfect ! The water became a little choppy , but the sunset view was still worthwhile and I'd definitely do this again sometime !

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

We had a wonderful experience & really enjoyed it!! Would highly recommend!

As soon as you check in, you head straight to the dining table. VIP guests have seats that are easy to access from outside. You can enjoy a buffet with steak, roast pork, and lomi lomi, among other dishes. The first drink is a fixed Mai Tai, and VIP guests can have another one. You can drink this at the dining table or later at the bar inside the theater. Other beverages like coffee and tea were available at the buffet.

The show is held in a different theater. There are no tables. VIP guests are seated in the front center. There are various performances including hula, singing, and Tahitian dance. The impersonator of Michael Jackson is the only one who appears, and this part is the most exciting.

After the show, you can take photos with the performers. It was a lot of fun!

楽しかったです

I wrapped up my last night in Hawaii by going here!

I signed up for the VIP course! With VIP, you get early guidance and other perks, which makes you feel like you're getting a good deal!

It's a buffet, and around the time we finished eating, they performed hula in the central aisle of the venue. However, it started to rain in the evening, and since some of the VIP seats had no roof, we had to move. The new spot had a pillar right next to it and was further back, so we couldn't see the hula at all. In fact, the general guests had a better view.

The food was delicious, but it wasn't extravagant enough to feel like it couldn't be enjoyed elsewhere.

The show venue was quite cold, so be careful. The show featured not only beautiful hula but also fire dancing, and Michael made an appearance, which was really exciting. Unfortunately, Elvis was off that day.

Also, it was mentioned that there would be a meet and greet after the show, but there was nothing, so we left.

ハワイ最後の夜の締めくくりに行ってきました！

VIPコースを申し込みました！VIPは案内を早めにして貰えたりと優遇されているので、お得な気分になります！

ビュッフェなのですが、食べ終えた頃に、会場の中央の通路でフラを踊ってくれます。ですが、その日は夕方から雨が降り出したので、一部のVIP席は屋根が無いため移動することに・・。
移動した先はすぐ横に柱がある上に、奥側だったのでフラが全然見えなかったです。むしろ一般客の方が見やすい。

料理は美味しいですが、豪華と感じる程ではないので他所で食べてもいいのかなと思います。

ショーの会場は、結構寒いので注意です。ショーでは素敵なフラだけでなく、ファイヤーダンスやマイケルが出てすごく盛り上がりました。
エルビスは残念ながらお休みでした。

また、ショーが終わってからミート＆グリートがあると記載がありましたが、何も無かったので帰りました。

Upon arrival, I was shown to my seat and enjoyed a welcome drink. After a little while, I was taken to the buffet with priority access for VIPs. The chef served a generous portion of roast beef, and I had another drink while enjoying a hula performance. At the show venue, I was seated in the second row from the center for VIPs, allowing me to experience an impressive performance that is rarely seen in Japan. There were about half Japanese attendees overall, and I was able to exchange information in a friendly manner with an elderly Japanese couple seated across from me.

到着すると席に案内され、まずはウエルカムドリンクを一杯いただき、少ししてから、VIPのため優先的にブッフェに案内されました。ローストビーフはシェフが大盛りで盛り付けてくれ、さらにアルコールを一杯いただき、フラの実演も観ながら楽しく過ごしました。ショーの会場ではVIPのため中央最前列から2番目の席に案内され、日本ではなかなか観られない圧巻の迫力満点の演技を観ることができました。全体に日本人が半分ぐらいいて、たまたま席が向かいにになった日本人の高齢のご夫婦とも和気あいあいと情報交換できました。

This was our first trip to Hawaii as a couple. We searched for delicious food and hula shows and participated in the Rock-a-Hula event. After gathering in the evening, we enjoyed hula dance performances, live Hawaiian music, and hula dance workshops without getting bored.

The buffet-style meals were all delicious, and the whole roasted pig was even more tender and tasty than the roast beef. The fresh pineapple was also delicious.

The post-dinner show was enjoyable, as it introduced the history of Hawaii and hula dance along with the dances of that time. Being able to enjoy an entertainment show that combined hula and rock from the front row was truly a wonderful memory.

夫婦二人で初めてのハワイ旅行です。
美味しい食事とフラのショーをいろいろ探してこのロック・ア・フラに参加してきました。夕方に集合してからは、食事会場でのフラダンス鑑賞、ハワイアンソングの生演奏、フラダンス講習会など飽きることなく楽しめました。
ビュフェ形式の食事はどれも美味しく、中でも豚の丸焼きはローストビーフよりも柔らかくてとても美味しかったです。新鮮なパイナップルも美味しかったです。
食後のショーは、ハワイとフラダンスの歴史が当時の踊りと共に紹介され楽しかったです。フラダンスとロックが一体となったエンターテインメントショーを中央最前列で楽しむことができ本当に良い思い出になりました。

I arrived at the Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor at 17:15, and as soon as I checked in, I received a lei service and was shown to my seat with a drink service. The drinks were large, so two free drinks were more than enough.

While enjoying my drink, they entertained us by singing with a ukulele and dancing between the tables. The food was served buffet-style, with several types of salads and a variety of meats including chicken, pork, beef, and fish, making for a satisfying main course.

The show seating was in the second row from the front, right in the center, providing an incredible view! The content was engaging for older guests, featuring performances reminiscent of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and the Tahitian dance and fire dance were truly impressive.

On the way back to the hotel, I was still immersed in the afterglow of the show. Experiences like this really make you feel like you're in Hawaii.

17:15ロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階に到着して受付するとすぐにレイサービス、席に案内されてドリンクサービス、ドリンク自体が大きいので2杯無料で十分すぎる量。
ドリンクを飲みながらウクレレで歌ってくれたり席の間に来てダンスをしたりとずっと楽しませてくれました。
食事はビュッフェ形式でサラダ数種類と肉類もチキン、ポーク、ビーフ、魚とメインも充実です。

ショーの席は前から2列目の正面なので迫力満点！
プレスリーやマイケルジャクソンなど年配の方にはハマる内容でタヒチアンダンスやファイヤーダンスも凄い迫力でした。
翔の余韻に浸りながらホテルまでの帰り道ずっと余韻に浸ってました。
このようなショーを見るとハワイに来てるって実感します。
