All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

The friendly staff and outgoing nature of the performers kept my husband and I engaged and satisfied the entire time! Great outdoor space for the little ones! Can’t beat the view!!! Definitely worth the trip to roam the legendary grounds of The Royal Hawaiian.

LOVED our experience. Everything was amazing! Due to no rainfall/drought the waterfall wasn’t flowing but the views were still Beautiful!

Had a great time the show was good and the food was great

Great drinks, great views, great company. We absolutely loved it. Lasting memories were made. 10/10 would go again and would recommend.

This was my families first Luau, and it didn't disappoint. The food was very good, and the show was entertaining. We were apprehensive about taking our 19-month-old to a 3-hour dinner show, but she loved it and only passed out just before dessert. We highly recommend the Feast at Lele.

After three years, I participated in a sunset cruise on a catamaran in Hawaii. It was so much fun. Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, the sunset, and the sky turning pink afterward was breathtaking. There was a rainbow over Waikiki. We laughed out loud while getting splashed by the waves, and we even started singing together. It was a truly enjoyable time.

Since you might get wet, it's best to wear clothes that can get wet and keep your valuables in a waterproof bag. There was storage available, but there's a chance of getting splashed by the waves.

I definitely plan to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.

3年ぶりのハワイで
カタマランでのサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
とにかく楽しかった。
海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、
サンセットとそのあとにピンクに染まる空。
ワイキキにかかる虹。
波しぶきを浴びて大笑いしたり、大合唱が始まったり、
とても楽しい時間でした。

濡れる可能性があるので参加には濡れていい服で、
貴重品は防水バッグに入れておくといいですね。
収納場所がありましたが波を受ける可能性もあるので。

次回のハワイでも絶対参加しようと思います。

The Luau is great! Many food options and authentic Hawaiian food too!! The show was very informative and exciting to watch during the Luau. We enjoyed it very much!

From the moment our captain greeted us we knew this was going to be a fun cruise. The staff was wonderfully accommodating, the views/fireworks were beautiful. We would definitely do this again!

We have been on at least five catamarans that offer Sunset Sails,and Holokai is our favorite. The Captain is super accommodating with an amazing bartender who manages to stay balanced serving drinks! We will be back in October for another awesome sailing adventure!

I had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. The Captain and staff were awesome. Those Maitais were delicious. I loved the cruise and the booze so much that I went on the Fireworks cruise right after. Met some amazing people which I believe will turn into great friendships. If you’re in Hawaii and looking for a nice evening activity check out Manu Kai Catamaran Waikiki activities. You will not be disappointed!

This luau was amazing. The food was great. The show/dance was great as well. The fire show was amazing. Im so glad i booked this Luau. Its right on the beach, at sunset.

The pre-show activities ? None of those happened.
I was really looking forward to experience their culture but NO. When we got there, we were welcomed (speech and all that) then lined up for food and drinks then the show started.

I paid for a VIP royal package expecting my experience will be smooth… The only distinction between VIP and non VIP is the table arrangement and priority line for food but doesn’t apply if you wanna get drinks… which was very inconvenient.

Bottom line, I didn’t get my money’s worth.

Hope this helps.

Our party of 11 truly enjoyed this Luau! The Chief Luau offers fun, entertainment,information and good food!! The performers were top notch and so much fun to watch!

This Lua was wonderful! We were treated like royalty and had a very perfect night!

I absolutely loved this Luau. The Chief was so funny and enjoyable. I highly recommend going to see Chief's Luau. This was my first Luau so I don't have anything to compare it to but I doubt it gets much better than this.

So much fun, so much culture and so much delicious food! My boyfriend and I left such happier people - well fed and high spirited. Everyone needs to experience the Chief's Luau. We can't wait to come back and enjoy it again. Mahalo!

My first sunset cruising!
I participated with excitement.
Sailing with both Japanese and foreigners is also a lot of fun.
The view of Diamond Head from the venue is absolutely stunning.
The sunset is beautiful, and it's definitely worth participating in!!

初めてのサンセットクルージング！
わくわくしながらの参加でした。
日本人、外国人入り交じってのセイリングもまた楽しいものです。
会場から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドは、また最高の眺めですね。
サンセットも綺麗でこれは参加する価値ありです！！

Service was great! We loved the show. Drinks are not weak! Lol
The food was good but not great in my opinion.

I reserved a front-row seat. The host only spoke in English, so I couldn't understand anything they were saying... but I knew this in advance and could get the vibe, so I accepted that. The problem was the food.

After the drinks were served, the appetizer? It was served in a bento box-like container, and it was bad. Then we were served a plate with a mix of chicken, beef, and pork. Not many people around me finished their meals. We paid nearly 100,000 yen for this meal. What a letdown. The show itself was only good during the last 15 minutes. I was glued to the fire dance, but before that, it was a bit dull.

I booked this hoping my kids, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, would feel the essence of Hawaii, but I'm not sure if it was worth the hefty price.

前列席確約を予約。司会は英語オンリーだったから全く何を話してるか分からない…でもこれは前もって知っていたし雰囲気で分かるから良しとしても…問題は食事。
ドリンクがでたあと前菜？弁当箱みたいなので提供されますが、これが不味い。そのあとに提供されるのが鶏肉&牛肉&豚肉？の3種盛みたいなプレート。回りの人も完食してる人はあまりいなかった。3人で10万近く支払ってこの食事かぁ。がっくり。ショー自体は最後の15分間だけ良かった。ファイヤーダンスは釘付けで見てましたが、それまでは少々眠たくなるくらい。

ハワイ旅行がはじめての子供達にハワイを感じてほしくて予約したけど大金はらってまで行く価値があるかは微妙。

We had a great time on this boat tour! The staff is nice and the atmosphere was great.

I only attended the show without dinner. The staff were all wearing masks, but most of the guests were not, so I made sure to wear my mask and used hand sanitizer before and after the show to minimize risk. I also prepared extra masks just in case, as I was a bit concerned about droplets from the outside.

As a note, as of August 2022, a negative PCR test certificate is required for entry into Japan, so I acted a bit cautiously, but I think it's definitely possible to enjoy the experience if you take the necessary precautions. Of course, I was able to return home safely with a negative test result.

ディナーなしのショーのみに参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんはマスクをしていますが、鑑賞しているお客さんはほとんでどマスクしていないので、リスク回避のためにしっかりマスクして、携帯用の消毒薬でショーの前後で消毒するなどの対策をして楽しみました。マスクも一応外側の飛沫が気になるくらいではあるので、替えを用意しています。
前提として、22年8月時点で日本入国にはPCR陰性証明が必要になるなど、すこし注意深く行動しましたが、対策をとっていれば十分楽しめると思います。
勿論、検査結果陰性で無事帰国できています。

If you’re in Hawaii and you don’t do this cruise, then you’re missing out!! Such a perfect event to end the evening. So relaxing, the staff was awesome, and the boat was amazing. We end up doing it again.

The captain and co-captain/bartender made this nighttime sailboat tour a super fun time. The fireworks were awesome to watch. I enjoyed the old school tunes. My drinks only made this venture more enjoyable. This was a lovely way to close-out my week in Honolulu.

A great experience for the whole family. The show had a variety of dances and songs; and the performers were great. Also, being right on the beach with the sunsetting over the water and the lights of the cityscape in the night sky, it made for some beautiful pictures. We would definitely do it again.

Amazing . The food was awesome along with the music and vibe

Incredible views and fantastic crew! Highly recommend

Great night and something fun for everyone, including our six year old. We loved the atmosphere, the hospitality, the thoughtfulness that was put into the evening's program and food. The servers were attentive and accommodating. The dancers were amazing. We had a wonderful time and we highly recommend!

Seeing Waikiki from the boat and experiencing the fireworks for the first time was wonderful. The breeze was pleasant, and it became a very nice memory. Since the boat was large, there was little rocking.

船上からみるワイキキ、花火は初めてでしたが、風も気持ちよくとても良い思い出になりました。
船が大きいため揺れは少なかったです。

The food is ok, the show is extraordinary! Totally worth it!
I’ll purchase again when revisiting Hawaii

This was an amazing experience definitely a must see show the chief was so funny and the dancer were really good, will definitely recommend to other! The show was very organized and the food was great!
