This isn't normally the sort of thing my husband and I do, organised fun isn't really 'us'. However the Luau at Paradise Cove was absolutely brilliant. The food and entertainment were fantastic, even our hotel pickup was brilliant (Thank you Cousin Mo!)
I honestly can't recommend this experiment enough, a great night, we loved it!!!

The bus ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center was ok. The guide who spoke most of the way there was not very entertaining. He did pass on a few useful tidbits, but not many considering he spoke for almost an hour and a half. The guide we got at the PCC was difficult to understand and was apparently supposed to shepherd about 20 or 30 people around. Since you had to be very close to him to be able to hear and understand him, most of what he said was missed by most of his charges. He led us from presentation to presentation for 2.5 hours, then, as he sent us on our way to our dinners, he gave us maps of the place. It would have been nice to have a program or something to explain what it was we were seeing in these presentations. The Luau was just ok. Waiters were passing out drinks in pineapples to select people...I was unaware of any offer of those drinks. I assume there was a separate charge, but I have no idea. The food was mediocre and the show after dinner was not much better. Then we went to the main event...HA, breath of life. Once again, we were not given any explanation of what the performance was showing us. A brief one-page synopsis would have been extremely helpful. Overall, I was very disappointed with this tour!

I wolud recomend this to every one. The flower leis were beautiful and smelled so good. The lady that greeted us and presented us with our leis was so friendly and helpful. she gave us a warm aloha greeting and welcomed us to Hawaii. She offered to take picutres of us with our leis and helped us get our bags. She made us feel like friends coming to visit.

The view of the remote ocean that can only be seen from the sky is unique to helicopters. It feels like catching a glimpse of the primordial Earth, and it's wonderful.
Unfortunately, I ended up sitting on the inside of the back seat, but the person in the front row was almost in a tank top, so their skin reflected on the glass and appeared in all my photos. I would appreciate it if the front row passengers could be given black jackets, as other companies do, for consideration.
空からでないと見られない絶海はヘリならでは。
原始地球を垣間見たようで、素晴らしい。
運悪く後部座席の中側になってしまったが、前列の人がタンクトップに近い状態だったので、肌がガラスに反射して全ての写真に写り込んだ。前列の人には、他社が行っているように、黒色のジャケットを着せるなど、配慮が欲しい。

It was an entertaining intimate luau with crowd participation. We did the show and cocktail only option since we are not big eaters. It would have been nice to know they close the bar when the show starts so we were bamboozled on the drinks. Show was not very long but very good.

After having dinner, we watched the show.
The dinner started off with a fun atmosphere, thanks to a kind woman dressed in Hawaiian attire who adorned our heads with flower decorations and took photos for us.
To be honest, I participated with the show as the main focus and didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was surprised by how delicious everything was in the buffet! By the fourth day of our trip, I was getting tired of the heavy Hawaiian meats, but I was able to eat heartily. There were various performances during the meal, which made it enjoyable.
After the meal, we had dessert and felt great and full before watching the show. Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with the original material, but there were so many engaging elements that kept it interesting! The cast members were also very enthusiastic, which added to the fun. The highlight was definitely the Michael Jackson performance; despite a slight height difference, he looked just like the real thing! His dancing was incredible, and it felt like I was watching the real Michael. At the end, we took a photo together, and even up close, he looked just like him. I think anyone who knows famous rockers will enjoy this!
ディナーを食べてからショーを見る流れでした。
ディナーはハワイアンな格好の優しい女性が、頭に花飾りをつけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しい雰囲気ので始まりました。
実はショーをメインに考えて特にご飯には期待せずに参加しましたが、バイキング形式でどれも美味しくてびっくりしました!
旅行の4日目に行ったため、ハワイのお肉てんこ盛り&味のこってりしたものに飽きて来ていた中、ぱくぱく食べることができました。
食事中もパフォーマンスが色々あって、楽しかったです。
食事の後はデザートを食べて、満腹でいい気分になってからショーを観ます。
正直私が元ネタになっている人をよく知らないということがありましたが、それでも飽きさせない演出が沢山盛り込まれていました!
そしてキャストの方々がサービス精神旺盛でそれもまた面白かったです。
やはり特によかったのはマイケルジャクソンで、少し身長は違えど本人としか見えないぐらいそっくり!
ダンスもバリバリで、本人を見ているような気分でした 笑
最後に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、近づいてもそっくりです。
有名どころのロッカーを知っていれば、誰でも楽しめると思います!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.

It was an interactive show, so the performance itself was short, but I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fairly good as well. They made the drink I wanted (highball) when I asked for it. There weren't any noisy customers. I was staying at the Kamehameha, but I was glad I walked over here to experience a closer ocean vibe. Also, I arrived just in time and, although I had to wait a little, I was able to secure a seat relatively close to the stage.
参加型のショーなので、鑑賞するショー自体は短いですが、
雰囲気は楽しめました。ご飯もまぁまぁおいしかったです。
お酒も欲しいもの(ハイボール)を言えば作ってくれました。
お客さんも騒がしい人たちはいませんでした。
カメハメハに滞在していましたが、
より海に近い雰囲気を味わいたかったので、こちらまで歩いてきて良かったです。
また、時間ぎりぎりに行き、少し並んだものの、割と舞台に近い席は確保できました。

It's a special experience where you can feel the grandeur of the Big Island, including the appearance of the volcano, the flow of magma into the ocean, the townscape of Hilo, and the waterfalls in the valley. It's an experience that money can't buy. I highly recommend it! Although I wasn't a Japanese pilot, I could somewhat understand what was being said through the words.
火山の様子やマグマの海への流出、
ヒロの町並み、渓谷内の滝が流れる様子、
とにかくハワイ島の雄大さを感じることができるスペシャルな体験です。
お金じゃ買えない経験です。お勧めします!!

In front of the cave of the ferns, I was able to see a Hawaiian wedding song and a solemn hula dance. On the return boat, there were five Japanese people, so they provided a service of Japanese songs and performed hula dances. At the end, everyone had a hula lesson, and we all danced together in the small boat. I was really into the song we learned! It was a satisfying tour!

The cost was $100, and at first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but $100 is about 11,000 yen. Considering that you get to see a live traditional luau and Hawaiian show up close, along with an all-you-can-eat meal and drinks, it’s quite reasonable. There were hardly any Japanese people around, and everyone spoke only English. I was a bit anxious, but it was fun, and by the end, I was shouting in Hawaiian along with the host. After the luau, I took pictures with the dancers on stage. I even got a tattoo stamp on my arm, just like the Hawaiians (it was water-based ink, so it came off quickly afterward). It was so much fun!
費用が100ドルで、最初はちょっと高いかなと思いましたが、100ドルって11,000円ですよね。生の伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショーを間近に見て、おいしい食事とドリンクは食べ放題、飲み放題だったら、充分リーズナブルでしょう。ほとんど日本人が居ない中で、廻りは英語のみ。不安に固まりでしたが、楽しくて、終わりには司会者の声に合わせてハワイ語の叫び声を上げていました。ルアウ後、舞台で踊ったダンサー達と写真を撮りました。腕にはハワイ人と同じ入れ墨をスタンプ(水性インクなので後ですぐに落ちました)してもらいました。楽しかったなー。
