All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The uncovering of the pig was very interesting, and it tasted so very delicious, as well as everything else. The Smith family kept everyone well entertained. I would definitely see it again.

This was my fourth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first time experiencing a full-fledged dance and dinner show. I think the concept was "traditional Hawaiian cuisine," so I can't honestly say it was "delicious," but it was a good experience.

I had allergies, so I contacted the address listed on the website in advance, but I received no reply. Even after sending a reminder, I still got no response. However, on the day of the event, when I mentioned, "I have allergies," they responded with something like, "I know, leave it to me!" and brought out dishes that accommodated my allergies. To be honest, I would have appreciated a reply if they had seen my email.

Also, it was disappointing that the scallop dish turned into a salad mainly consisting of baby greens (and without any dressing at all), which felt like a significant downgrade in the menu.

That said, the show itself, including the dance, was wonderful, and I was glad I paid a little extra to secure seats closer to the front! (The venue is quite large, and if you're at the very back, you're pretty far from the stage.)

After the show ended and we finished our meal, we left, but there were others taking photos with the dancers, so I think it's a good idea to speak up if you want to take pictures.

4回目のハワイ旅行でしたが、本格的なダンス＆ディナーショーは初めてでした。料理は「ハワイの伝統料理」がコンセプトだったと思うので「おいしい」とは正直言えない感じでしたが・・いい経験になりました。

アレルギーがあったので事前にHPに載っていたアドレスに連絡するも返信なし、リマインドするも返信なしでしたが、当日「アレルギーがあるんだけど」と伝えたら「知ってるよ、任せて！」みたいに言われて、アレルギー対応された料理が運ばれてきました。メール見たなら返信欲しかった、というのが正直なところでした。
そして、ホタテがベビーリーフメインのサラダ（しかもドレッシング等いっさいかかっていない）になるなど、かなりランクダウンなメニューになってしまったのも残念でした。

ただ、ダンス含め、ショー自体はすばらしく、数千円上乗せして前の席を確保してよかったと思いました！（結構会場は広く1番後ろだとステージから結構遠いので）

ショーも終わり、料理も食べ終えたところで私たちは帰ったのですが、ダンサーさんたちと写真を撮ってる方もいたので、撮りたい方は声をかけてみるといいと思います。

We were a tarty of 4 (two couple) from California:
1. Overall impression is okay but not great because the steak was served cold and chewy.
2. Dancing activities are great!

There is a bit of a wait from when you are seated until you can go get your food. However, I didn't feel that the meal time was insufficient, so I don't think it's a big issue. The food was not only plentiful but also delicious, with flavors that are easy for Japanese people to enjoy. The roast beef, in particular, was excellent. The hula performances and lessons during the meal were also fun. And the show exceeded my expectations! The dancers were sharp, and before I knew it, we were at the finale. I'm glad I participated.

席についてから料理を取りに行けるまで、待ち時間がそれなりにあります。
でも、食事の時間が足りないとは感じなかったので、それほど問題ではないと思います。
食事は量はもちろん、味も日本人が食べやすい味で美味しかったです。特にローストビーフが美味しかったです。
食事中のフラ演技やフラレッスンも楽しかったです。
そしてショーは想像以上でした！！踊りは皆さんキレキレであっという間にフィナーレでした。
参加して良かったと思いました。

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.

This was absolutely amazing and so much fun!!

Everything was okay, the server forgot to bring the welcome drink to us for more than 30 mins until we reminded him.

I ended up feeling really full with just three dishes, including dessert! Haha.
The last dessert was about twice the size I imagined, and I was surprised—this must be the American size!
All the flavors suited my taste, and I enjoyed everything deliciously. ✨

デザート含め全部で3品なのにめちゃくちゃお腹いっぱいになりました！笑
最後のデザートが想像の倍くらいの大きさでこれがアメリカンサイズか…！とビックリしました
味はどれも自分に合っていて美味しく頂けました✨

I booked the show and dinner course. The variety of dishes was plentiful, and there were Japanese staff members, which made me feel comfortable while dining. The taste was neither particularly good nor bad... but there were local flavor menu items, which was nice. The show was story-driven and absolutely fantastic! It's worth seeing at least once. However, this plan does not include the admission fee for the Polynesian Cultural Center, so if you want to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, there will be an additional charge. It's a somewhat reasonable amount (I was surprised when I paid, haha), so if you have time to spare, it's fine, but considering the meal time in this tour, you won't be able to fully enjoy all the areas... Still, it was quite fun.

ショーとディナーのコースを申し込みました。
料理は品数も多く、日本人のスタッフもいて安心して食事できました。味は可もなく不可もなく…でもご当地の味付けメニューもあり良かったです。
ショーは物語仕立てで最高でした！一見の価値有りです。
ただ、このプランにはポリネシアンカルチャーセンターの入場料は含まれてませんのでポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを見たい方は別に料金がかかります。まぁまぁな金額なので(払ってビックリw)、時間に余裕のある方はいいですが、このツアーで食事の時間など考えるとすべてのエリアを十分に楽しむことはできません… でもなかなか楽しかったです。

I booked a tour for the day I arrived in Honolulu. The feeling of sailing out and catching the wind was amazing. We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a wonderful sunset. The staff was friendly and immediately checked in when our drinks were running low. As the tour was coming to an end, someone stood up and started singing and dancing to the background music. I had a truly wonderful time.

ホノルル到着日のツアーを申し込みました。
沖に出てからの帆を張っての快走は最高の気分です。
天気にも恵まれて素晴らしい夕日を見ることが出来ました。
スタッフもフレンドリーで飲み物が無くなりそうになると直ぐに声掛けしてくださいます。
ツアーが終わりに差し掛かった頃、誰ともなく立ち上がってBGMに合わせて歌い、踊りだしました。
とても素晴らしい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

The Sunset cocktail cruise on the Ke Kai was awesome! 100% worth the price, which covers 3 drinks (more than enough)! We loved the boat and the crew and had a great last night of our Hawaii trip. Highly recommend!

Great experience! Even my snarky teens loved it! The food was very good. Lovely and engaging atmosphere. Great staff! The performances were impressive and high caliber. Definitely recommend!

Gorgeous views, fun crew, great music. Was an added conus to our trip and happy we got to attend. Would definitely go again next time we’re here.

This is a cruise where you can enjoy a leisurely sunset. It sails from Aloha Tower to the area around Diamond Head and returns while you enjoy the sunset. From the sea, you can see the hotels of Waikiki and the sunset illuminating Diamond Head. The climax is the beautiful sunset. All the passengers went out onto the deck to enjoy the sunset. There is also live music on board, creating a fantastic atmosphere. You can also purchase light snacks, making it easy to enjoy the experience.

ゆっくりサンセットを楽しめるクルーズです。
アロハタワーから、ダイヤモンドヘッド辺りまで航行し、サンセットを楽しみながら戻ります。
海からみる、ワイキキのホテル群、西陽のあたるダイヤモンドヘッド。
クライマックスは美しいサンセット。
乗客は皆デッキに出て、サンセットを楽しみました。
船内には生演奏も入り、雰囲気抜群。
軽いおつまみも購入できるので、気軽に楽しめます。

We had an amazing time, sailing out, the views from the sailing boat for the fireworks Was great .we could sit back and jjoy , with cocktails and beers ,dinner was provided as well , the team T’bat took us we’re great at looking after everyone on board , a lot of fun , we are a family of 3 ( hubby myself and 10 year son , best part it wasn’t overcrowded. So you could move around , well worth booking , amazing time , thank you all for a fabulous night

We participated as a couple in our thirties. By chance, the receptionist was Japanese, and after handing over our voucher, we were guided to our seats. Since it was a VIP buffet, we received a drink service voucher and had priority in the buffet line. The seating was at a long table, and for pairs, we were seated next to each other, while the opposite side was a different group. Since we couldn't speak English well, it felt a bit awkward. However, the food was very delicious, and we were satisfied. During dinner, there was also a hula dance performance, and although we didn't participate in the dance lesson that took place, we enjoyed it to some extent.

The Rock-a-Hula show featured professional dancers performing hula, which was of impressive quality and enjoyable until the end. I recognized many parts of the Michael Jackson impersonation, but I was not familiar with Elvis, which made me feel a bit out of sync with those around me.

アラサー夫婦二人で参加しました。たまたまなのか日本人の受付の方で、バウチャーを渡すと案内してもらえました。VIPビュッフェとのことでワンドリンクのサービス券と、ビュッフェに並ぶ順番が優先されました。席は長テーブルで、ペアの場合隣通しで案内されるので、正面は別グループの方でした。英語ができない私達は少し気まずかったです。ただ、食事は非常に美味しく満足でした。ディナー中もフラダンスもあり、途中行われたダンスレッスンには参加こそしませんでしたがまずまず楽しめました。
ロック・ア・フラショーはプロのダンサーたちのフラダンスはさすがのクオリティで見応え十分で最後まで楽しめました。マイケルジャクソンのモノマネは知っている部分も多かったですが、エルヴィスはほとんど知らず周りとはやや温度差を感じました。

Definitely the sun set cruise is one of the best , and most beautiful experience we had. Great food , great live music and great and delicious food .

First, we had a meal. The food was delicious. They guided us in order, so we could eat without feeling rushed. The show featuring Elvis was amazing. He came to the audience and was very engaging. The fire dance was also wonderful. I thought the hula dancer was fantastic, as she perfectly executed various other dances as well. However, the most impressive was Michael. He was a bit overweight, but his face resembled the original.

The location was hard to find. We were about 30 minutes late. I recommend checking the map thoroughly before heading out.

まず、最初に食事でした。食事はおいしかったです。順番に案内してくれるので、焦る事なく食べる事ができました。ショーはエルビスが最高でした。客席まで来てくれて、サービス精神旺盛でした。炎のダンスも素敵でした。フラダンスを踊るダンサーは、他の色々なダンスも完璧にこなして素晴らしい、と思いました。でも、1番印象的だったのは、マイケルでした。太り過ぎだろ、、、顔は似ていました。
場所が分かりにくいです。30分位遅刻しました。しっかり地図を確認して出かけるこおをお勧めします。

Staying at the Hilton made transportation convenient.
I had to wait about 30 minutes from the meeting time until being shown to my seat. There is room for improvement.
The prices differ between the stage area and other areas. The order for the buffet is also different.
Once you take your meal, it will be cleared away afterward, so it's necessary to take what you want at the beginning without hesitation. The show time has also become shorter than before.

ヒルトン宿泊だった為、移動は便利であった。
集合時間から、席への案内まで30分程待たされた。改善の余地あり。
ステージの周囲とそれ以外で価格が違う。ブッフェの順番も違う。
食事は1回取ると後は片付けられるので、遠慮なくはじめに取っておく必要がある。ショーの時間も以前より短くなった。

This was an outstanding dinner and show. Food was delicious and drinks were always being served. You never had to ask for drinks because there was always someone walking by with a tray full. The show was amazing and educational. The Dancers were incredible and the women were beautiful!
I highly recommend it!!

I knew the hotel where we were meeting, but it was difficult to find the boarding area, and I got lost and stressed. It would be helpful if you could provide clearer directions from the hotel to the boat boarding area! The fireworks on the boat were absolutely amazing and became a wonderful memory!

集合場所のホテルはしっていたのですが
乗り場までがわかりずらく迷って焦りました。
もう少しホテルに入ってからのボート乗り場までの行き方わかりやすく教えてくれると助かります！
船上での花火はとても最高で良い思い出になりました！

The sunset was, of course, beautiful, but just riding on the square boat and cruising through the sea was plenty of fun. Depending on the weather, there might be times when you can't see the sunset, but I think just taking a cruise around Waikiki Beach would still be a great experience. By the time the boat returned to the harbor, the night view was stunning, allowing us to enjoy both the sunset and the night scenery.

The only disappointing part was that I didn't quite understand the all-you-can-drink system. At first, they asked in English (probably something like "Who wants a drink?"), and those who raised their hands were given pineapple cocktails, but those who didn't raise their hands received nothing.

The staff would ask those who ran out of cocktails if they wanted a refill, but I wasn't sure if we could order drinks other than cocktails. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I ended up not having anything to drink from start to finish (laughs). I did see some people around me receiving drinks other than cocktails, but I couldn't tell if those were included in the all-you-can-drink or if they were extra charges... I think it would be quite tough if you don't understand English.

Also, since you are exposed to the wind for two hours, it was quite cold in short sleeves. I think having a jacket would be better. Especially depending on the seat, some people got splashed with seawater, and my husband, who got soaked, looked cold the whole time. The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you want to enjoy the view more, I recommend sitting at the ends, and if you want to avoid getting wet, choose a seat in the middle.

夕陽はもちろん綺麗でしたが、四角い船に乗って海を進んでいくだけでも充分楽しかったです。天気によっては夕陽を見られない事もあると思いますが、船に乗ってワイキキビーチをクルーズするだけでも良い体験になると思います。
船が港に戻る頃には夜景が綺麗で、サンセットと夜景の二度楽しめました★

唯一残念だったのは、飲み放題のシステムがよくわからなかった事です。
最初に英語で質問され（恐らく「お酒いる人ー？」のような感じ）、手を挙げた人はパイナップルのカクテルが配られるのですが、手を挙げなかった人には何も配られませんでした。

カクテルがなくなった人にはスタッフさんがお代わりはいるか聞いてくれるのですが、カクテル以外のドリンクが頼めるのかどうかわからず、お酒の飲めない私は最初から最後まで何も飲めませんでした(笑)
周りの方でカクテル以外のドリンクをもらっている人もいましたが、それが飲み放題に含まれているのか別料金なのかわからず…英語がわからないとなかなか厳しいと思います。

また、2時間風を浴びるので半袖だとけっこう寒かったです。上着があった方が良いと思います。
特に席によっては海水がかかるので、背中がびしょ濡れになった夫は終始寒そうにしていました。
座席は先着順なので、より景色を楽しみたい方は端の席、濡れたくない方は中央の席を選ぶと良いと思います。

We almost didn't make it but they held for us....by the skin of our teeth and the evening was just a blast after that. The food was good, the entertainment was funny and got the audience engaged. The views were spectacular. Had a lot of fun

So much fun! Thank you guys for an awesome time! The crew was outstanding

Great greeters, buffet. Dinner entertainment and show! Beverages were bad. The Mai Tai didn't taste like a MT. Sdas watered down or missing half required syrup at $5 each. Excellent value. My teen son loved it. We all did. Thank you.

The show was really amazing. We were able to interact with our hosts and learn how to make the head pieces. The dancing was great, but the firing knife throwing was so good . Totally worth it.

I booked a plan without meals that includes photos. I chose this because the reviews for the meals weren't great, but I think the plan without meals was sufficient. It felt like being in a movie theater where I could order drinks and enjoy the show while sipping on them. The seats were closer than I expected and easy to see!

2回席食事なし写真付きプランで予約しました。
食事の口コミがよくなかったので無しにしましたが
食事なしのプランでも充分だと思います。
映画館の様なところでドリンクを注文して、飲みながらショーを楽しむことができました。
席も思っていたよりも近くて見やすかったです！

When boarding, it's better to wear sandals and shorts as your feet might get a little wet. There’s no roof, so you can enjoy the open air, and the ride is a bit wild with loud music playing, allowing you to fully experience a sense of adventure. When the fireworks are going off, there are no lights or sound inside the boat, but for a short time, you can enjoy the fireworks from the deck. You might want to bring a small towel, as your feet will get wet and sandy when disembarking.

乗船の際に少し足が濡れるので、サンダルでショートパンツで行った方が良いです。
屋根が無いので開放感があり、運転も少しワイルドで、音楽もガンガンかかってて、非日常感を十分味わえると思います。
花火が打ちあがっている時は船内の照明や音響もなく、短い時間ではありますが船上の花火を楽しめました。
下船時に足が濡れて砂まみれになるので、小さいタオルなど持参した方が良いかもしれません。

My fiance(who i proposed there in the Luau)and i just love the party so so much!!! Everything were amazing! All the workers were so nice, incredible shows and tasteful food!!! We recommend 100% for everyone!

The HA breath of life show was a hit!! we really enjoyed culture center a lot. On the way, the scenery is great also.
