All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Das Waikiki Luau Dinner bestach durch sein überaus freundliches Personal und das hervorragende Essen, das traditionelle polynesische Geschmäcker gekonnt in Szene setzte. Besondere Höhepunkte des Abends waren die mitreißende Polynesische Show und die spektakulären Auftritte der Doubles von Elvis Presley und Michael Jackson. Diese Darbietungen brachten eine einzigartige Energie und Begeisterung, die das Publikum faszinierte. Die Kombination aus exzellenter Gastfreundschaft, kulinarischen Highlights und diesen hochkarätigen Performances machte unseren Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die einen Hauch von Hollywood in der hawaiianischen Kultur erleben möchten.

The food and atmosphere were great. I chose the 5-star option to watch the Hilton fireworks from the deck on Friday, but people from the lower floor started removing the chain from the stairs and crowded onto the deck before the fireworks started. After quite some time, the staff began to check if people were 5-star guests, but I thought it was too late.

お料理も雰囲気も良かったです。金曜日でデッキからヒルトンの花火を見るために5スターにしたのですが、花火の時間前から下のフロアーの人が、階段のチェーンを外しデッキに入ってくて混雑。
だいぶ経ってからスタッフが５スターかどうか確認を始めましたが遅いかと思います。

I visited here quite a while ago, and it feels like it has been upgraded. There are various shows centered around Elvis and Michael, as well as a fire show and other performances with things hanging from the ceiling. I might come back in a few years.

かなり前に一度来たことがありまたが、グレードアップした気がします。
エルビスとマイケルのショーを中心にファイヤーショー、また天井から吊らされたりといろいろあります。また何年か後に来ようかな

We visited for our family's first trip to Hawaii. The cheerful staff greeted us warmly, allowing us to start our meal in a fun atmosphere. While the variety of the buffet wasn't very extensive, each dish (especially the roast beef) was very delicious, and we were satisfied.

After the buffet, we went inside the building to enjoy a show. We were able to enjoy various types of music, including hula dancing, fire dancing, and popular songs from America. I highly recommend seeing it at least once when traveling to Hawaii.

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で訪れました。明るい店員が気さくに話しかけてくれて、楽しい気分で食事を始めることが出来ました。ビュッフェの種類自体はそれほど多くなかったですが、一つ一つの料理（特にローストビーフ）はとてもおいしく、満足できました。
ビュッフェの後は建物内に入り、ショーを楽しみました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンス、アメリカで流行った曲など、様々な種類の音楽を楽しむことが出来ました。ハワイに旅行する際、ぜひ一回見てみることをお勧めします。

We enjoyed our excursion from the bus ride to the Polynesian Centre to the bus ride back to our hotel. Our driver's name was Misi! He went above and beyond what was expected of him.

The walk through the Centre was incredible. Seeing the different islands and cultures. We took a canoe ride after walking around for about 4 hours. It was a welcome relief getting of our feet.

Our tickets included the dinner buffet. There was so much food to choose from which made it difficult to try everything. It was good.

After dinner we watched the The Breath of Life which was incredibly good. The performance was amazing. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

The buffet-style meal featured a menu that was very much in line with Hawaiian cuisine, and I was delighted to be able to try items that I probably wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy during my stay. Additionally, there were whole pineapples and a welcome drink service with Mai Tai, which made it a lot of fun. I also had the rare opportunity to see hula dancing up close during the meal, which was a precious experience. We visited for our honeymoon, and I was thrilled that there was a ukulele performance at each table.

The show after dinner was more authentic and spectacular than I had imagined, and it was truly moving! I had wondered how the combination of hula and rock would work, but it turned out to be a wonderful show where both styles matched beautifully, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. In particular, the performances that traced history evoked a sense of nostalgia and were wonderfully structured to captivate the audience. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

ビュッフェ形式のお食事は、ハワイらしいメニューになっており、意外と滞在中に口にする機会のなさそうなものを頂くことができ、嬉しかったです。また、まるごとのパイナップルや、ウェルカムドリンクでマイタイのサービスなどもあり、とても楽しめました。また、お食事中にフラダンスを間近で見ることができ、貴重な時間でした。新婚旅行で伺いましたが、席ごとにウクレレの演奏もしていただき、嬉しかったです。

お食事後のショーは想像していたよりも本格的で、華やかで感動しました！
フラダンスとロックの組み合わせはどんなだろう？と思っていましたが、両者の良さが見事にマッチした素晴らしいショーになっており、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。特に、歴史を辿るような演出は懐かしさも感じられ、人を惹きつける素晴らしい構成になっているなと思いました。
機会があればまた訪れたいです。

It was a lively and energetic performance by the Frat Show that really pulled you in.

When I arrived before the opening time, there was already a long line, and everyone seemed to be eagerly anticipating the ball party.

The performances by the carefully selected dancers were impressive and made for a truly enjoyable festive moment.

Thank you very much.

ご機嫌のノリとグイグイ引っ張る熱量のフラ・ショーでした。

開場時間前に到着したところ、すでに大行列で、みなさん、お待ちかねのボールパーティーのようでした。

厳選されたダンサーの方々のパフォーマンスは見応え抜群、楽しい祝祭のひとときでした。

ありがとうございました。

The Cultural Center Island tour was full of amazing and helpful hosts and entertainers. I have never felt more welcome by so many people. To temper a few expectations some of the activities we expected to be interactive were instead demos by professionals only but we still had a blast doing the many activities that do allow participation and those alone filled a very full day of exploring the islands.

The Buffet was delicious had more foods than we could fit and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.

The HA Breath of life show was an amazing experience and some of the best fire spinning and hula and so much more you will get to see in Hawaii

Be warned: the gap of time between the closing of the cultural center and the opening for the final show is quite long (they do warn you about his on the bus and offer an early exit at 6pm if you decide before 4pm that you wont have the energy) but with that said it was well worth it and we were glad we stayed for the full show.

The entire experience was exceptional. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Would definitely go see it again. A job very well done.

This may have been the only time, but all the participants except for us were from the mainland United States. Therefore, there was almost no support in Japanese, and even for us, who are not too uncomfortable with English, we ended up not understanding much of the content. If we had knowledge of constellations, we might have understood better. However, I thought it was a valuable experience to be able to see Saturn and other planets through the telescope. Also, at the end, they gave us a photo as a gift.

今回だけかもしれませんが、参加者は私たち以外、全員アメリカ本土からの方たちばかりでした。
ですので、日本語でのフォローもほとんどなく、英語にそれほど不自由しない私たちでも内容があまり理解できずに終わりました。
星座の知識があれば理解できたかもしれませんが。
ただ、土星などは望遠鏡で見ることができて、貴重な体験だったと思いました。また、最後に写真をプレゼントしてくれました。

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great

Wonderful Luau show and food. The venue was beautiful and protected from any weather that might occur.

My wife and I attended the luau show. Before the show started, there were several events prepared, and we had a great time. At the same table, a couple from the mainland talked to us, and we had a nice interaction. The show was also very impressive and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

家内と2人でルアウショーに参加致しました。
ショーが始まる前に幾つかイベントも用意されていて楽しく過ごせました。
同じテーブルではメインランドから来たご夫婦が話しかけてくださり、良い交流もできました。
ショーも大迫力で楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

It was a great experience for the family and the buffet was amazing. We have been to Hawaii, New Zealand, and Fiji, and the shows were great. didn't expect
that much audience participation, but it made it enjoyable. Would love to go back if we weren't leaving.

I had never experienced such a rainy trip during the rainy season in Hawaii in December. Since the last day was also forecasted to be rainy, I made a last-minute reservation with Veltra the night before.

At the dinner buffet, we were seated near some Japanese guests, which allowed us to take photos and enjoy conversations together. It was amazing to see the hula dance up close during the meal.

Although we didn't have the top-tier tickets for the show venue, we were close to the stage and it was exhilarating! Elvis came right up to us, and we even got to shake hands. Unfortunately, the scarf was given to someone at the next table... Even though we aren't very good at English, we were able to enjoy the stage thoroughly and would love to come back.

It's definitely not a cheap option, but I think it's worth seeing at least once.

Thank you for the precious time!

12月雨季の中のハワイ旅行、こんなに雨に降られた旅行はありませんでした。
最終日も雨予報だったので、前日夜にveltraさんで急遽予約をして参加しました。

ディナーブュッフェでは、日本人の方を近くに配置していただいたので、お互いに写真を撮ったり会話を楽しんだり出来ました。
食事中には間近でフラダンスを見れ最高でした。

ショー会場も最上ランクのチケットではありませんでしたがステージに近く大興奮！
エルビスが目の前まできてくれ握手もできました。残念ながらスカーフは隣の席の方にプレゼントされましたが…
英語がそんなに得意ではない私たちでも十分楽しめるステージで、またきたいと思いました。
決して安くないオプショナルですが一見の価値はあると思います。

貴重な時間をありがとうございました

This time it was a trip with my wife, but during the last company trip, we stayed in Waikiki to participate in the Honolulu Marathon in 2017. We enjoyed the show back then, so I made a reservation to show it to my wife. On the day of the show, we added the buffet, but we were seated at the edge, and since it started to rain a little, we got wet. When I looked towards Sky Waikiki, I saw a big rainbow, and it was a very lucky day.
The show was consistently enjoyable, but I felt that MJ seemed a bit tired and chubby, and his movements lacked sharpness. Haha.

今回妻との旅行でしたが、前回会社の旅行で2017年のホノルルマラソンに参加する為、ワイキキに宿泊。その時に今回のショーを見て楽しかったので、妻に見せたいと思い予約をしました。当日ブュッフェをつけましたが端っこの席で、少し雨が降って来た為、濡れてしまいました。ふとスカイワイキキの方向を見ると大きな虹が見えて、とてもラッキーな日でした。
ショーは安定の楽しさでしたが、MJが少し疲れたのか、ぽっちゃりしていて、動きにキレがなかったように感じました。笑笑

My friends and I had a blast on the Ke Kai Waikiki sunset cocktail cruise, and seriously can't wait till we can go again!

The boat's brand spanking new and seriously comfy, and the drinks? Tasty and on tap! Props to the crew for keeping the glasses full and snapping awesome pics. Heads up, though, the nets mean splashes if you're cruising to Diamond Head. I got totally soaked, but it was part of the fun!

Sunset views? 10/10. Oh, and don't forget to wear sandals or flip-flops since you have to take off your shoes and walk through water to get on board the boat :)

Hella chill vibe, perfect sunset, and a splashy adventure, and I totally recommend it!

The food wasn't very delicious. The guidance wasn't very good either. It felt like a conveyor-belt type of service. I felt a bit left out. I understand that the dishes are served on one plate, but it was disappointing that everything was mixed together. The show was good, though.

食事があまり美味しくなかったかな。案内があまりよろしくなかった。流れ作業で案内。ちょっとおいてけぼり感がありました。料理もワンプレートはわかりますが、みんないっしょにごちゃ混ぜ状態になって残念。ショーはよかったよ

I really enjoyed both the hula and Elvis, as well as Michael, but my companion was not as impressed... Especially the first-year middle school student kept fiddling with their smartphone. I think the evaluation can change quite a bit depending on whether one understands the original material or the English MC, and whether they can keep up with the atmosphere of the venue.

フラもエルビスもマイケルも私は非常に楽しめましたが、同行者はイマイチ…
特に中学1年生はちょくちょくスマホをいじる始末でした。
元ネタや英語のMCがわかるか、会場のノリについていけるかでかなり評価が変わると思います。

Everything was great. The hosts of the boat were all very personable and very friendly with a good sense of humor! Their mai tais were GREAT, I don't care for mai tais because of the dark rum but they do theirs differently and i loved their drinks. Very calming, good music and great drinks. I would definitely do this again

I wasn't sure which restaurant to choose, so having this kind of guidance was helpful. The food was delicious as well.

どこの店を選べば良いか分からなかったので、こういう案内があると助かります。
食事も美味しかったです。

The fireworks at the Hilton on Friday lasted about 10 minutes. The Mai Tai cruise offered unlimited cocktails, and I had three cocktails, but they made them without a hint of annoyance. The night view was great, and since it was the end of the year, it was a bit cold, so you might need long sleeves.

金曜日ヒルトンの花火は10分くらいで終わりました。マイタイ号はカクテル等飲み放題でわたくしはカクテル3杯飲みましたが、嫌な顔ひとつせず作ってくれました。
夜景がいいのはもちろん年末だったので、少し寒いので、長袖は要るかも。

How amazing, my kids really loved every island and all the work put in.

What an awesome show, it hits everything you want to see, fire dance, pig roast, games and hawaiian activities!

What an evening to celebrate an anniversary! Fabulous food and performers.

Lots to do, ending show was fabulous, and dinner all there was a great day in full!

The show was very good, particularly the chief. He is a talented entertainer who interacted very well with his audience. The dancers were also very talented.
The buffet dinner was okay, nothing special.

This was my first experience in Hawaii. The food was a buffet with a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and there were even desserts. There was also a performance during the meal, which was fantastic.

After the meal, we moved to watch a show, and it was very moving. I think it's worth experiencing at least once if you come to Hawaii. Lastly, we were able to greet the performers and take photos with them, which was fun.

Time flew by, but I believe it's a tour that can be utilized effectively.

初めてのハワイでの体験です。
ご飯はビュッフェでハワイのいろんな料理が食べれてデザートまでありました。
また食事中にパフォーマンスもあって最高でした。

食事後移動してショーを見ましたがとても感動しました。ハワイにきたなら一度体験してみる価値があると思います。
最後にグリーティングもできて出演者と写真も撮れて楽しかったです。

時間があっという間に過ぎましたが有効活用できるツアーだと思います。

As for my impressions, I think it's good for those who want to experience entertainment like in Las Vegas or Los Angeles while in Hawaii. I was looking forward to the shows in Hawaii, so I was a bit disappointed in some aspects, but since I enjoy entertainment, I was able to have a decent time. Given the weak yen, I thought the prices were quite high. However, since it was Christmas Day, the venue was nearly full with a capacity of 750.

First, after checking in, we were guided to the buffet area. The VIP guests started their meals first. It was crowded, which made it a bit cramped, but they guided us patiently in order, and we were able to enjoy plenty of food. The park, beef, and tofu were all delicious.

We watched a light hula dance and listened to ukulele music, and there was also dessert time. After the meal, we moved to the hall where the entertainment show began. The show could be seen beautifully from any seat, so I don't think it's a problem if you're not in a VIP seat. I was a little envious that VIP guests received fresh flower leis.

Overall, the meal was delicious and enjoyable, and with the show included, I was able to spend a fun time.

感想としては、ハワイでラスベガスやロサンゼルスなどのエンターテイメントを観たい、体験したい方には良いかと思います。私は、ハワイのショーを楽しみにしていたので、少しガッカリな部分もありましたが、エンターテイメントは好きなので、それなりに楽しめました。円安ということもあり、かなりお値段も高いと思いました。でも、クリスマスの日だったとこもあり、750定員満席に近かったです。
まず、受付をするとビュッフェ会場に案内されます。ビュッフェ会場は、VIPの人が先に食事を始めていました。満席だったので、窮屈感もありましたが、順番に丁寧に案内してくれ、料理も十分に食べれました。パークもビーフも豆腐も美味しかったです。
軽いフラのダンスを観たり、ウクレレを聞いたりして、デザートタイムもありました。
食後、ホールに移動して、エンターテイメントのショーが開始されました。ショーは、どの席でも綺麗に観られるので、VIP席出なくても問題ないかと思います。
VIP席だと、生花のレイが貰えてちょっぴり羨ましかったです。
全体的に食時も美味しく、楽しく、ショーも付いていて、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。

I made a reservation for 33 people for Christmas. Since there were so many of us, we considered chartering a boat, but having a DJ definitely made it more exciting! The food was allowed to be brought in, and there were Japanese staff members who were very accommodating. I'm glad we chose the DJ cruise! Please be careful as you can't bring in soft drinks.

クリスマスに33人で予約しました。人数が多かったのでチャーター船にしようか迷いましたが、やっぱりDJが居た方が盛り上がりました！
食事も持ち込みOKで日本人のスタッフさんも居て柔軟に対応して下さいました。DJクルーズを選んで良かったです！
飲み物はソフトドリンクも持ち込み出来ないので気をつけて下さい。
