All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Fun cruise. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunset Cruise on the Majestic. We picked a beautiful evening to experience the sunset and bonus was the whale. I was able to get a picture of the whale along with numerous sunset shots. The reception, music, and service was top notch. I would highly recommend this cruise.

Thanks to the very friendly and fun guys on and off board we had such an awesome time. The drinks and the view were also more then great. The catamaran isn't too packed, so everybody can have their own lil space. You guys made our day and we will def see each other next time I will visit your perfect island.

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.

Magnificent performance from all involved dealing with the history of the hawaiin islands and the Polynesian empire. The buffet was way too much to take in!!

Its a rain or shine experienced but its awesome...My 7yo son is biracial Filipino Taiwanese and cannot understand english but he clapped like an adult during the HA a breath of life show... the fire dance by the samoan made him amaze...the food at gateway was perfect...I've seen so many Filipinos in the buffet area assesting us... So many crew assesting in the tribes sometimes I felt overwhelmed yet its good...the missionaries were good too... the asked me both are approachable too...they all smile...I'm so proud that they have Filipino and other asian workers...Mabuhay
PS. I liked the bus driver Shaft so funny and informative

Last time I participated, I had a wonderful time watching the sunset from the boat, enjoying the views of Waikiki from the sea, and watching the fireworks. I wanted my children to experience this as well, so I joined again as a repeat customer. It was just as I had hoped, and my children seemed to enjoy it too, so I'm glad I repeated the experience. The staff remembered me as a returning guest and welcomed me, which made it another delightful experience.

前回、参加した際、船上からのサンセット、海側からのワイキキの風景と夜景、それに花火の鑑賞は、大変良い時間を過ごせた思いがあり、子供らにもぜひ体験をしてほしくリピーターとして参加しました。思っていたとおりの時間を過ごせ、子供らも満喫した感じもあり、リピートして良かったです。スタッフの皆さんも、リピーターとして覚えていてくれていて、歓迎してくれ、それもまた嬉しい体験でした。

When you go to the reception at check-in time, you are first seated at a long table outside. The spacing between the chairs is a bit tight, so it feels like you're crammed in among strangers.

You receive a complimentary welcome drink, along with two free drink vouchers (you can choose whether they include alcohol). The meals are served buffet-style, and there were also some light entertainment during the meal. The taste was average, but the drinks (cocktails) were delicious.

Before long, we were guided inside the venue to watch the show, and finally, it was time for the Hawaiian show.

It started with hula dancing, followed by impersonations of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, and there was also a fire dance. The quality of the show was high, and I really enjoyed it.

チェックインタイムに受け付けに行くと、まず外にある長いテーブルに座らされます。椅子の間隔がやや狭いので、知らない人の中に詰め込まれる感じです。

無料のウェルカムドリンク、それとは別にドリンク２杯の無料券がもらえます(アルコール有無が選択できる)。
食事はビッフェ形式で、食事中もちょっとした余興がありました。お味は普通かな。飲み物(カクテル)は、美味しかったです。

そうこうしているうちに、ショーを見るために館内へ入るように案内され、いよいよハワイアンショーです。

フラダンスに始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ダイアナ・ロスのそっくりさんショーがあり、ファイアーダンスもありました。ショーの完成度は高く楽しめました。

I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.

ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。

Choosing this activity on the first day of my trip was a great decision, especially considering the jet lag (I have snorkeling, surfing, and skin diving planned for the next day).

Since I was the first to arrive at the meeting point and there were no signs indicating the location for Veltra, I was a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. However, a staff member came out from the building, but I thought it would be nice to have some kind of flag or sign.

Fortunately, the meeting point was close to the Outrigger Reef hotel, and the check-in process went smoothly. However, there were other groups from different countries that arrived late, which made us wait quite a bit. It felt a bit frustrating since I had arrived early. But I guess that's just how it is internationally.

No one was wearing masks. The sense of freedom from not wearing a mask was incredible. At first, I wondered if it was really okay, but I gradually got used to it.

I couldn't understand the crew's explanations in English, but they were very considerate towards the Japanese participants, so there were no issues. It felt like we could enjoy ourselves even without a common language, as we shared beers and had fun together. However, I always feel that I should have studied more English. If I understood the language better, it would have been even more enjoyable. (I'm currently looking for a translation app.)

However, it felt like I was being welcomed by the sea, wind, air, scenery, and fireworks of Hawaii. This is a wonderful activity to fully enjoy the eternal summer of Hawaii's ocean. I highly recommend it.

時差ボケなどもあるだろうからと、旅行初日に本アクティビティを選択し正解でした（次の日からシュノーケリング、サーフィン、スキンダイビングが控えています）。
集合場所に一番乗りだったため、ベルトラの集合場所という表示も何もないため、ここで本当に良いのか不安でした。担当員が建物の中から出てきてくれましたが、何かのぼり旗のような表示があればいいのになと思いました。
しかし、ホテル（アウトリガーリーフ）からも集合場所が近く、スムースに受付もできました。が、他国の遅れてくるグループがありだいぶ待たされました。せっかく早めに行ったのにという感じでした。が、それがインターナショナルなんでしょうね。
マスクをしている人はいません。マスクからの解放感は半端ないです。最初は本当にいいのかなという感じでしたが、次第に慣れていきます。
クルーの説明は英語で理解できませんでしたが、日本人にもクルーが大変気を使ってくれて何も問題はありません。ビールを飲んで一緒に盛り上がりましょうという感じで、言葉は通じなくても楽しめます。が、もっと英語を勉強しておけばよかったといつも痛感します。言葉がわかれば、もっと楽しいのになって。（今通訳アプリなどを探しています）
しかし、ハワイの海、風、空気、景色、そして花火で歓迎を受けているようでした。常夏のハワイの海を満喫できるすばらしいアクティビティです。おすすめです。

The booze cruise was amazing! It was on the beautiful waters that included a sunset. We had a DJ and bar on board. Double decker yacht-like boat that was a blast! The hosts/staff definitely join in on the fun and keep the vibe going. Plan to return on my next trip to Waikiki!

The entertainment was first rate and the food was surprisingly good. You don’t expect food served to hundreds of people at once to be hot and tasty but they have the logistics well organized and the buffet line moves fast.
The fire stick dancers were excellent, and the whole evening had a very authentic feel.

I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.

感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。

This was our first luau and it was exceptional! The staff was courteous, professional, welcoming, and overall delightful! The food was very well prepared and there was a wide variety of selections. The show was both entertaining as well as informative and all of the performers ( host, dancers, and musicians) were great!!

I would love to do this again some time!

This was a very beautiful night! The luau experience was everything we were looking for. It felt like a true traditional experience

Excellent Experience! Crew was outstanding and the drinks were generous, we had an amazing evening! Highly recommend! We went to celebrate my best friends birthday before having dinner. It was a fun way to enjoy a beautiful sunset in Waikiki..

We celebrated the night before our marriage on this event. We were a large group of 27. They accommodated us and sat us all together. The entertainment and the food were excellent. The servers kept everything flowing and joyful. Very organized and fun. I really enjoyed the dancers and singers. They performed in front of us and had them all over so everyone could enjoy them. The only bummer was that I specifically chose to go on the Friday sunset cruise for the firework show. However, it didn’t happen due to the winds. I was very sad. Other than that, I thought it was a fabulous experience.

I participated in January 2023.
The view of the land from the sea was incredibly beautiful. The sunset was also wonderful. However, as the day went on, the wind picked up and it got quite cold, so I spread out the beach towel I brought and used it to sit on and cover my shoulders. It might be a good idea to bring a jacket during this time. Although there was an all-you-can-drink option, it was too cold, and I could only have one drink at the start. When the catamaran set sail, everyone started dancing to the upbeat music and stood up to take photos, creating a very cheerful atmosphere. Although Japanese was not spoken, the vibe was very lively.

海から見える陸の景色は最高にきれいでした。サンセットもすばらしかった。しかしだんだんと日が暮れていくにつれて、この日は風も強くて、だいぶ寒くなり持参したバスタオルを敷いて座ったり、肩にかけたりしていた。この時期上着は持って行った方がいいかも。飲み放題だったけど寒くて最初の１杯しか飲めなかった。カタマラン号が出航するとノリノリの音楽に合わせて踊りだしたり、立ちあがって写真を撮ったりとみんなとても陽気に楽しんでいた。日本語は通じませんが、とてもノリの良い雰囲気でした。

This was a ladies night with friends. We haven’t seen each other over 3 years. This was perfect to get together.

It was held inside the hotel.
They welcomed us with leis, and it was a fun time.
The food was also very filling, and the show was impressive.

ホテル内で開催されていました。
レイでお出迎えしてくれて楽しいひと時。
ご飯もボリューム満点でショーも見応えがあった。

My wife and I enjoyed ourselves on the Sunset Dinner cruise. Have a fabulous time. Enjoyed the sunset and show.

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.

Michael Jackson was terrible.
He was overweight, danced poorly, and lip-synced.
I wonder what he was trying to do—was there a lack of talent?
There was no emotion or satisfaction.

マイケルジャクソン酷過ぎ
太めで、ダンスが下手で口パク
何がしたいのだろう　人材不足？
感動も満足感もなし

It was a wonderful show.
The performance was amazing, and of course, the singing and dancing were top-notch.
It was a fusion of hula and rock.

素晴らしいショーでした。
演奏も素晴らしく、勿論歌やダンスも最高でした。
フラとロックの融合です。

Good time! This was my first Luau, and it was very enjoyable. Very professional establishment and they put the dinner and show on without a glitch.

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.

Could have started earlier to have more time for cocktails and buffet but everything was very good.

we were so satisfied with everything from the food and to the show! customer service was great when booking and the show was super entertaining!

This was a lovely experience. The jazz singer was incredibly fun and talented. The food was excellent. The servers (Collin and Rob) were incredibly kind and attentive. The sunset was stunning. Finally, the Polynesian show was lovely and a great way to end the night. I would come again.
