All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

This is an experience you don't want to miss !
Crew and captain are definitely top tier !

We have been to other Luau’s on the islands and thought the food quality was not there. The biggest difference was the experience, we sat in the rear so the fire scene you were unable to view. The tables were modern and lined up in columns. Other Luau’s had character and activities for lesser money. The staff was very friendly and beach setting was awesome. It just didn’t feel like a luau and the food was disappointing

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

Open bar, Great mai tai's, beautiful sunset, great crew, good music.

It was more fun than I expected.
Go, Michael!
There was also a live band, which was great.
There was even Presley, so the genre was diverse and I wasn't bored at all.

予想以上に楽しかったです。
マイケルがんばれ！
生バンドもあったのでとても良かったです。
プレスリーもいたのでジャンルが幅広く退屈しなかったです。

Cheif's Luau is a MUST DO!!! This was our favorite thing we did on our entire trip to Hawaii. If possible, pay for transportation included. The ride to the luau was fun and informative - it was like a mini tour because the guide taught us some Hawaiian words, fun facts, gavw us cultural insights, and even made jokes! This was literally the best thing ever! This is perfect for everyone! Kid friendly, but also perfect for couples and families alike. In fact, the Luau was so great that I think mostly adults would appreciate all the effort made by Cheif and Tamatoa! Best fire show also!! 10/10

This tour was truly a full day adventure! I am so happy I visited the PCC and took the time to learn more about Hawaiian culture. The family and I loved the Luau!

The food was very delicious, and the show was a lot of fun. I definitely want to come again. Thank you to everyone who took care of us.

お料理も、とても美味しかったし、ショーもとても楽しかったです。
また、是非来たいです。
お世話をして下さった皆様、ありがとうございました。

Since we had an all-you-can-drink option, after heading a bit out to sea, everyone except those who couldn't drink was served a Mai Tai. It was sweet and easy to drink.

After that, everyone enjoyed their beers while swaying on the boat, gradually moving away from the shore, and we could see the beautiful Diamond Head in full view. With music playing, we sang together, drank, and enjoyed the sunset, creating a lovely atmosphere and a fun time.

The staff were also very lively, taking photos with us and letting us steer the boat, which was a lot of fun. We even saw a beautiful rainbow.

The sunset was stunning, but even on a cloudy day when the sun wasn't visible, it felt like we could still have a great time on the boat!

私たちは飲み放題だったので、少し沖に出てからまず、飲めない人以外に全員マイタイが配られました。甘くて飲みやすかったです。

そのあとはみなさん自由にビールなどを飲みながら船に揺られ、だんだんと海辺から離れ綺麗にダイヤモンドヘッドが一望出来てきます。
音楽も流れみんなで歌いながら、お酒を飲みながら夕日も見えてきて綺麗な景色と楽しい時間を過ごせました。

スタッフの方々もノリノリで一緒に写真を撮ったり撮ってもらったり、船の操縦をさせてもらったりとても楽しかったです。
さらには綺麗な虹も見えました。

夕日も綺麗ですが、曇って夕陽が見えない日ですら楽しく過ごせそうな船でしたよー！

The environment, dancing/entertainment and food was out of this world. The music was soothing and on point. The fire dancer, wow, you just have to see for yourself! We had a very large group,17 to be exact, they easily accommodated us and everything ran smoothly. Our waiter, Bula or “B”, had great energy and made our experience 1000 times more enjoyable! Would highly recommend this dinner.

I participated in June 2023. It was a night cruise with a fireworks viewing. I couldn't understand most of the explanations and safety instructions on the boat since they were all in English, but I could tell that all the passengers were really excited.

After the fireworks, we drifted at sea for nearly an hour, just drinking and having a good time. If you can speak English, I think you would be able to join in on the fun.

I was just trying to cope with seasickness and holding in my need for the restroom. I wasn't sure if there was a restroom on the boat, so I endured until we returned to port. Since drinks are unlimited, I think it's best to check on the restroom situation beforehand.

2023年6月に参加しました。花火鑑賞付きで夜からの乗船でした。船の説明や注意事項はすべて英語でほとんど分かりませんでしたが、乗客全員のテンションが上がっていることはわかりました。
花火後は一時間近く海を漂って、ひたすら飲んで騒ぐといった感じでした。英語が話せる方であれば一緒に騒いで楽しめると思います。
私は船酔いとトイレを我慢することで精一杯でした。トイレは船に設置されているのかわからなかったので、帰港までひたすら耐えておりました。ドリンクが飲み放題なので、トイレの確認はきちんとされたほうが良いと思います。

This luau was wonderful! Dinner was great, the service was well executed and we learned so much about the Polynesian culture. The show was awesome! Very talented performers who made it so much fun for everyone in attendance! This is a definite yes!!

Our service people were wonderful. They took care of us and were very kind. Also, the food and drinks were incredible. And the dancing, music, and story telling was all very good. All around, excellent.

After enjoying a buffet-style dinner, you'll be watching a show, so the time commitment will be longer. It’s better not to schedule anything else afterward. There is a roof, but since the dining is outdoors, there is no air conditioning. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere while watching hula dancing during the meal. I recommend this for your first trip to Hawaii.

ビュッフェ形式の夕食を楽しんだ後にショーを観るので拘束時間が長くなります。
次の予定は入れない方が良いでしょう。
屋根はありますが野外での食事なので空調はありません。
食事中もフラダンスも観れるので賑やかに楽しめます。
初めてのハワイ旅行でオススメします。

This time, I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with a Diamond Premier seat. With priority entry, I was able to sit right next to the stage, and it was an impressive show filled with the spirit of Hawaii! The food was also available to us first, and both the taste and portion size were great. However, everything from the entrance announcement was in English, so I couldn't understand the MC's jokes, which was a bit disappointing. It was a moment that made me realize the necessity of English conversation at my age. If the budget allows, I think it's better to participate with a Diamond Premier seat. Regular seats enter after the Diamond seats, and since the seating is further back, you can't feel the dynamism of the show.

今回は、初めてのハワイ旅行で、ダイヤモンドプレミアシートで参加させてもらいました。
優先入場で、席もステージの横で見ることができて、迫力があって、ハワイ感満載のショーでした！
料理も優先的に取ることができて、味もボリュームも問題ありませんでした。
ただ、入場案内から全て英語なので、MCのトークで笑いが起きても、理解出来ずで少し残念でした。英会話の必要性を、この年で感じた1シーンです。
予算が許すならば、ダイヤモンドプレミアで参加された方がいいと思います。レギュラーシートは入場がダイヤモンドシートのあとで、食事を取るのももあと、座席も後方なので、ショーのダイナミックさを感じることが出来ないです。

Went on the Sunset Cruise mid week, spectacular! Was a little concerned about the ‘barefoot cruise’ advice, but all good, it made good sense.
Our Captain (also DJ) & bartender were welcoming, entertaining and inclusive.
We had such a good time, have booked for the Friday night cruise. ✅

Our family off 12 had a wonderful night. We especially liked the cultural experiences before dinner.

My niece and I loved it! Beautiful setting right on the beach! So much food- loved tasting it all. My favorite was the slow cooked pork. Favorite drink was the Lava Flow.
Beautiful talented entertainers! Fire show at the end - WOW he put on a show! Highly recommend this Laua!
Parking across the street was easy. But get there early!
Met a really nice artist painting whole we stood in line. Loved looking at his work.

Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.

The food was a buffet, so it felt about right, but the show was amazing! I thought the wait for the food was a bit long. The show was something you have to see when you come to Hawaii; it was truly fantastic!

お料理はブッフェだしこんなもんかなー、という感じでしたが、ショーが最高でした！
料理が出てくるまでの時間が少し長かったかな、と思います。
ショーは、ハワイにきたらこれは見なきゃ！という感じで、とても最高でした！

The staff at the Outrigger's Holokai Catamaran were very pleasant, and once we set sail, the crew's service was also wonderful. We enjoyed the swells on the yacht while sipping rum mixed with passion fruit juice.

Around 7:30, the fireworks from the Hilton began, and we got more cocktails from the all-you-can-drink option, which added to the excitement.

As Japanese people, we might be a bit shy, but we enjoyed the cheerful and lively atmosphere created by the Western guests.

It became a very good memory. Thank you!

アウトリガーのホロカイカタマラン受付スタッフの対応が感じ良くて、出航すると、船頭？さんたちの対応が、また、素晴らしく、ヨットで波によるうねりを楽しみながら、ラム酒のパッションフルーツジュース割りをいただきました。
7時半過ぎ位から、ヒルトンの花火が始まり、飲み放題のカクテルをおかわりして、盛り上がりました。
我々日本人は恥ずかしがり屋かもしれませんが、西洋人の方々の陽気で明るい、多騒ぎを楽しませてもらいました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

By far the best sunset cruise ever!!
Very kind and friendly staff, amazing service. Great vibes. Recommend to bring shoes that you can get wet.
Drinks were great!

Staff were good. Clean boat. Beverage ok. Tour was not interesting.

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.

Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.

6/4（日）のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで（日本のホテルのバイキング／ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン）、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!

The Starlight Luau changed locations since the last time we visited Hawaii, which made the experience more intimate and explosive. Our family felt like they were a part of the show. The food was exquisite, and the dancers were more than entertainers; they passionately expressed their culture and made you feel like family.

Great evening entertainment, with crowd participation, sing along and laughs. MC ‘Sam’ kept us entertained with jokes, songs and some interesting facts of Hawaii.

The grace of the dances made for a nice calming evening while the fire dances were mesmerising and a must see.

Great food and the free flow of drinks are always a welcome!

A Must if in Kona!!

It was a wonderful show that conveyed the performers' earnest desire to please the audience. It was breathtaking and moving. Thank you.

出演者たちの､客を喜ばせようとする懸命思いが伝わって来る素晴らしいショーでした。圧巻でした｡感動しました。ありがとう

The service was good, and the food was delicious. The pineapple brulee for dessert was especially exquisite. During the meal, there is usually live music playing, so you might find it a bit difficult to have a conversation.

サービスは良好で、料理も美味しかったです。特にデザートのパイナップルのブリュレは絶品でした。
料理中は基本音楽をライブ演奏してるので、話はしずらいと感じることもあるかもです。

This was amazing!!! We were greeted with fresh flower leis. The food was amazing, they kept us stocked on drinks, and the entire cast and crew were phenomenal! We had an amazing time.
