All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

I wasn't very confident participating because I don't understand English well, but the cruise while viewing the Diamond Head from the boat and the sunset scenery became a wonderful memory! The Mai Tai cocktail was also delicious! I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

英語があまりわからずで参加でしたので少し不安がありましたが、船から見るダイヤモンドベッドや、夕日が沈む景色を見ながらのクルーズは素敵な思い出になりました！カクテルのマイタイも美味しかった！ハワイに行った時はまた参加したいです！

We participated in the Thursday evening show after searching for various options at the request of my child who wanted to see a fire dance. There were some Japanese attendees, but the majority were foreigners.

The venue was about 60% full, and even though we arrived about 10 minutes before the show started, we were able to sit quite close to the front. The seating was not reserved, so it was first come, first served.

I looked into other tours as well, but since the fire dance itself only lasts about 5 minutes out of the total show time of over an hour, I chose this tour because it seemed to have a structure that would keep us entertained without getting bored.

In addition to the Hawaiian-themed show, the singing and dancing performances by impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were spectacular, and even though I wasn't a big fan of theirs, I enjoyed it very much.

There was also an announcement that photography during the show was allowed, and everyone was taking pictures and videos all around. After the show, the performers, including Michael and Presley, came out to the lobby for individual photos and handshakes.

Many young foreigners in their teens and twenties were also asking for photos and handshakes, which made me feel once again the greatness of Michael and Presley. It was an affordable show that was highly enjoyable even for those who are not fans, and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it!

ファイヤーダンスを見たいとの子供のリクエストでいろいろ探した上で木曜日夜の部に参加。日本人もいたが、大半の参加者は外国人だった。
会場内は6割くらいの入りで、開演10分くらい前の入場だったが結構前の席に座ることができた。席は指定ではなく、早い者勝ちの様子。
他のツアーも調べたが全体1時間超のショー時間のうちファイヤーダンス自体は5分程度なので、飽きることなく楽しめそうな構成のものということでこのツアーを選択。
ハワイアンなショーに加え、マイケルジャクソンとエルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんによる歌とダンスパートが圧巻で、特に彼らのファンでもなかったがとても楽しめた。
またショーの撮影もokとアナウンスあり、みんなそこかしこで写真や動画撮影をしていた。
終了後、マイケルやプレスリーら出演者がロビーに出てきて個別撮影や握手に応じてくれた。
外国人の10〜20代くらいの若者も多くが写真や握手を求めており、改めてマイケルやプレスリーの偉大さを感じさせた。
手頃な値段で特にファンでなくても大いに楽しめた、予想以上に楽しめるおすすめのショーだった。

Delish dinner with great view points out your window the whole night!

We loved the day, however we would consider bumping up to a private tour guide next time

Stay at King Kam so this evening was an easy evening on grounds. Show was really great, food was good too

I signed up for a dinner buffet tour, and I was able to enjoy a wide variety of dishes. Although I'm not good at English, there was a person from Norway sitting next to me, and we had a great time until the end of the show using gestures, broken English, and their broken Japanese.
The show featured performances that were incredibly impressive, resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The hula show was also captivating, with singing and dancing that were all perfectly executed.
I would love to participate again; it was a wonderful experience with the food and the show.

夕食ビュッフェ付きツアーを申し込みましたが、料理の種類が多く堪能できました。英語が苦手な私ですが隣の席にノルウェーの方がいて身振り、手振りとカタコト英語と相手のカタコトの日本語でショーの終わりまで楽しく過ごすことができました。
ショーもエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの物まねとは思えないほどの内容で堪能しました。またフラショーも見ごたえが有り、歌と踊り全てが完成されていて素晴らしかった。
また参加したい、見てみた食事、ショーでした。

I printed the voucher and headed to the reception desk, where the check-in process went smoothly without any issues. At the desk, I installed the QR code for the Japanese guide, and I was informed about the start time of the Japanese guided tour and where to wait. Although all the information was provided in English, it was explained in a way that was easy to understand, even for someone like me who struggles with English.

The Japanese guide was supposed to last 30 minutes, but it ended up being 45 minutes, allowing me to learn about Hawaii's history in an easy-to-understand manner. The exhibits were wonderful and very impressive. In particular, the decorations on the capes and hats used bird feathers, and it was interesting to learn that these birds are already extinct.

I believe the prices from Veltra were probably discounted advance purchase rates, which were much cheaper than the regular prices, and that was a great help. If you're interested in Hawaii's history, I definitely recommend visiting.

バウチャーを印字しいざ受付窓口へ、何の問題もなくスムーズに受付終了、窓口で日本語案内のQRコードをインストール更に日本語ガイドツアーの開始時間や待つ場所を案内されました。すべて英語での案内でしたが英語が苦手の自分でも分かりやすいように説明され助かりました。
日本語での案内は30分間とありましたが、45分間案内されハワイの歴史などわかりやすく勉強することができました。
展示品の素晴らしく見ごたえがありました。特にマントや帽子の飾りに鳥の羽が使われているのですが、この鳥はすでに絶滅してをその理由も興味深かったです。
ベルトラさんの料金は多分前売り料金で正規料金よりだいぶ安かったと思います、助かりました。
ハワイの歴史に興味のある方是非訪れてください。

Outstanding! A great crew, wonderful vibe and energy. We loved seeing the fireworks from the Catamaran. Would highly recommend!

It can get very chilly.. be careful with the splash zone as well! Overall, the view was fantastic! We saw a full rainbow and everyone was all vibing together, enjoying the scenery. All of the members were very helpful and entertaining, they made sure everyone was having a great time. Drinks were pretty good, definitely hold onto your drinks, this booze cruise can get rocky!

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

Good food, good show. They kept things moving with no waiting. Still expensive though.

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.

ロックアフラに参加出来てとても感激です。
最初のディナーは、ハワイローカルの美味しい料理を味わう事が出来て、良い体験でした。
また、ウクレレの生演奏やフラダンスも楽しめました。ショーの方は、多様な歌や踊り、楽器演奏があり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。どの演目も迫力があり、プロフェッショナルのエンターテイメントに体全体が震えました。こんなに素敵なショーが見れたことに感謝しています。ディナーのサーバーのおもてなしも大変素晴らしかったです。
このような素晴らしい機会を与えて頂いた事に感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

Wonderful place to visit. Loved learning and hearing the different Polynesian cultures, the live interaction for each islands. The buffet was awesome and the breath of life show was exceptional, I would definitely visit again.

The reservations are easy - and complete. I was still recuperating from a surgery, so we secured a mobility cart, which is right at the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The bus picks up from several points in Waikiki; it is comfortable and also waiting right at the entrance-exit after the show is over. The day is extraordinary - the staff is so friendly and helpful, as we asked questions at the various Islands. There is a river cruise you can take - the Center is 40 square miles (think Disneyland) so prepare your walking shoes and attire accordingly. Terrific shopping before the Center actually opens. Take a poncho, because there is a lot of rain on that side of the island - rains quickly, dries quickly.

The buffet is amazing and delicious, and a real bargain if you're feeding starving teens! The show is exquisite. They help park the mobility cart everywhere, so if you have mobility issues - worry not!

Enjoy as much as we did!

The scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. The Mai Tai was very delicious and since it was all-you-can-drink, I had quite a few. Everyone was cheerful and having a great time. When boarding, you enter the water a little, so shorter clothes might be better. Many people wore shorts. It felt a bit chilly, so I think it's good to have something to throw on. It was truly a wonderful time. I plan to use this again.

景色も雰囲気も最高でした。
マイタイがとても美味しく飲み放題なのでたくさん頂きました。
皆酔っぱらって陽気で楽しかったです。
乗船するとき海に少し入るので、短めの服がいいかも。
ショートパンツの方が多かったです。
肌寒く感じるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
本当に素敵な時間です。
また利用しようと思います。

If you're looking to see a hula show, I had my mind set on the Aha Aina at the Royal Hawaiian. Of course, I signed up for the front row seating plan. Since the price difference between regular and front row seats is minimal, I recommend going for the front row.

The show itself was simply amazing! With mesmerizing dances, comedic performances, passionate dances, and powerful fire dances, there was never a dull moment—it flew by in no time.

The dinner included an appetizer, a main course, and a generous dessert platter, so much that I couldn't finish it all. As expected from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, everything was delicious. The ticket also included three drink vouchers, so I thoroughly enjoyed Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiis, and Piña Coladas.

フラのショーを見るなら、ロイアルハワイアンのアハ アイナと決めていました。もちろん、前列席確約プランで申し込み。普通席と前列席との価格差が少ないので、前列確約をおすすめします。
ショー自体は、素晴らしいの一言でした！うっとりするダンスやコミカルなお芝居、情熱的なダンスや力強いファイヤーダンス等々、飽きる暇もなく、あっという間でした。
ディナーは、前菜とメインにデザートの盛り合わせとボリュームたっぷりで、食べきれないほど。さすが、ロイヤルハワイアンホテル、どれも美味しかったです。ドリンクも3杯分のチケットが付いていたので、マイタイ、ブルーハワイ、ピニャコラーダなど十分楽しめました。

Tickets for the show only. The seats were towards the back, but it was still possible to enjoy the performance. After the hula dance, there was an Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson show. There was also a fire dance, and the audience from the West was really into it.

ショーだけのチケット。席は中間より後方でしたが、十分に鑑賞できます。
フラダンスのあとは、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンショー。
ファイヤーダンスもあり、欧米の観客のかたもノリノリでした。

the cruise itself was great, we went on a weekday so it was pretty empty in terms of other guests on board

on a side note: i lost my engagement ring and they located it and returned it to me. it was so kind of them and they went above and beyond to help me!

Wife and I attended the Luau on February 29th, which happens to be my wife's Birthday ( yes she is a leap year baby) The Hosts took time out to personally wish here happy Birthday and all attendees sang "happy Birthday to her. One of the Best birthday's she will have.

On March 15th, 2024, I went to PCC and participated in the Gateway Buffet package. This experience included admission to the park, buffet, and show. Each village was unique, and educational. The canoe ride was my favorite part of the park, a must do!

The buffet dinner was INCREDIBLE, they had everything you could imagine. From salad, sides, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and dessert. The presentation of the food, and dinning hall felt like something out of a movie! They really set the scene for local cuisine.

'HA: Breath of Life,' show was spectacular a must see! The dancers were truly amazing! I would definitely go see it again and again. Everything about PCC was so professional, engaging, fun, and educational. There is something for the whole family.

I would recommend PCC to anyone who enjoys learning about different cultures, and has a full day to spend away from Waikiki.

Beautful sunset view from the top deck; great food and entertainment. The best part by far was the Jazz Ensemble! At the end, the cast and servers did an amazing ‘hula hula’ version of YMCA. The group loved it.

Great crew! We had prime view of the fireworks and Waikiki all lit up at night.

We had the best time. Brought our grandkids ages 10 and 12 and they were entertained the entire time. I highly recommend this luau. The food was good much variety. It was a little chilly so bring a sweater. They had activities in the beginning also.

The upper deck was great for taking pictures. We started off with a charcuterie board that had tasty cheeses and fruit. The second course included lobster over a beet salad with a nice puree. My only reservation was the meat which was overcooked in my opinion, but to be fair, I'm sure many people prefer a medium-well filet. Taking pictures in between courses was a huge plus and didn't make us feel confined to the table. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time.

We had an Absolute Wonderful Experience.. We had a group of 8 Family members.
We all Really Learned a lot about the culture.
Had the entire day package.
Thanks to Each and Every One who work to give us such an Outstanding Day. Ending with a Magnificent Breath of Life Performance.
Outstanding.

It took a bit to get to the top of the building but it was worth it. We got there and they were very helpful. Greeted up with a lei and took us to our table. Gave us our drink order (non alcoholic) and took our picture. The line up of food was quite amazing! All kinds of food to please everyone's liking. They also had dessert. It rained pretty good so they were able to cover the side so we didn't get wet. After dessert we we inside to watch the Rock a hula. And it was awesome. Elvis and Michael Jackson preformed along with the amazing hula dancers. It ended with an amazing fire show! It was well worth it! Go see it

This was a full day activity. We stared on the canoe amd ended the one end. Walked to each village. At each village they are very informative on their culture. They have activities you can participate in or just watch their 15-20 min skits. The journey movies was quite amazing but moves a lot, but worth it. The buffet was absolutely the best I've ever been to! So much food to choose from. Plus there was live entertainment. We also stayed for the breath of life show, which was spectacular. Goosebumps for sure.

The dance and singing were of high quality and enjoyable. You can also enjoy meals and entertainment before the show. The impersonators of Elvis and Michael were so dedicated to their roles that it didn't feel cheap at all. I recommend going at least once.

ダンスも歌もクオリティが高く楽しめました。ショウの前の食事やエンターテイメントも楽しめます。エルビスとマイケルのそっくりさんもなりきり方が徹底しているので安っぽさありませんでした。一度は行ってみることをお勧めします。
