I have experienced various luau shows, but this one felt a bit lacking. The structure was stretched out, with a lot of band performances in between the hula. The meal was a 60 out of 100. I left early, so perhaps it got more exciting in the second half.
いろいろなルアウショーを体験しましたが、ここのルアウショーはちょっと寂しかったです。間延びした構成で、フラの合間のバンド演奏が多かった。食事は60点。途中で帰ったので、もしかしたら後半で盛り上がったのかもしれないですね。

Saw the chief in 1985 at PCC. Loved his wit & charm then. So glad he has come so far. Still as great as ever. Was touched by the couples dancing & Make a Wish kids. Would recommend this smaller luau to everyone!!
Thank you, Chief!

We were told that going to Hawaii we had to go to a luau and we were not disappointed at all! The staff at chiefs luau were absolutely amazing, the food was fantastic but the overall experience is something we'll never forget. Thank you so much for a one of a kind and magical experience.

I was worried about the weather, but even if it rained during this time, it stopped quickly (raincoats were provided). The sunset behind the stage was very beautiful. There were many participants due to Christmas, but the seats were close, allowing us to fully enjoy the show. The show was authentic and very impressive.
天気が心配でしたが、この時期は雨が降ってもすぐにやみました(カッパが配られました。)
舞台のバックでは夕景が非常にきれいでした。
クリスマスで非常に参加者が多かったですが、席も近くショウを堪能できました。
ショウは本格的で見ごたえ十分です。

What a great day! Pros: The crew was friendly and helpful, the lunch was tasty and we saw a ton of fish. Our 5 year old had an amazing first snorkeling tour. The slide was a hit!
Cons : we didn't see any Dolphins or turtles but body glove can't control that.
Mahalo for joining us! We hope to see you again in the future!

We went to this luau with our two adult daughters. It was such a beautiful place to explore! We were able to walk around and take pictures. The dinner was good and nicely displayed. There was a little of something for everyone to like. The show was very good and entertaining. It got a little hard to sit for that long on the forward slanted seating though. I would recommend for a fun night.

Such a great experience- travel up the Wailua River, learn about history (Hawaiian and movie), visit the beautiful fern grotto, and learn the hula on your boat ride back to the dock. Easygoing and enchanting, photographic and peaceful.

So I decided to propose on this particular cruise, and I couldn't have picked a more romantic, thoughtful, and special cruise to do it. I was so incredibly nervous, but the customer service rep was extremely communicative and responsive for my specific request. John, the captain of the vessel, was so knowledgable in the marine life, that my fiance and I asked if he had majored in Marine Biology in college. He had a lot of passion for the marine life and he spent a lot of time speaking with us. Also, the wait staff was beyond courteous, they took pictures of my engagement, and they made us feel so special with their champagne toast.
I also set-up an original song to sing for my fiance, and the musician onboard actually learned my song before-hand, and played it perfectly as I sang it in front of 40 strangers! His tunes really bring that cool, Hawaiian vibe, and the MC was great with her meticulous tour and crowd work. I couldn't have asked for a better sunset, a perfect location, and the greatest staff that I have probably ever encountered. That's saying a lot as I had been a musician on several international five-star cruise lines in the past. I would HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a special event with incredible food.

The tour itself was really good, interesting and informing. All of the employees that took care of us were helpful and kind. The problem was the scheduling from Oahu to Kauai. We had to be picked up at 4:30 a.m. At our hotel. The plane left at 6:00 a.m. We got to Kauai at 6:40 a.m. And had to wait until picked up by tour guide at 8:40 a.m.. There were others that left our hotel at 7:00 and arrived to have guide pick them up on time. We also were told (on the tour guide was told) the wrong place at the airport to pick us up. All of that was very stressful. If they could correct the scheduling then it is a worthwhile tour.

I was surprised how accessible the tour was! I've never seen a motor coach with a wheelchair lift before. Our guide, Mike, was top notch! One important suggestion: call well in advance to schedule wheelchair transportation. I actually had to change our tour date, but it worked out perfectly. I also recommend the longer tour. We were only able to get through about 1/3 of the audio tour, which I also highly recommend. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

The first time was in mid-June last year, and the venue was fully booked, so we had to wait in line to get in. Our seats were standard and located at the back. This time, since it was January 3rd, I was prepared for even more crowds than last year, but it was quite empty. I booked good seats, so we were able to see the show right in front of us, and my daughter danced on stage, creating wonderful memories. I was very satisfied.
1度目は昨年6月中旬で満席状態で会場入りも結構並びました。席もスタンダードだったので後ろでした。今回は1月3日ということもあり昨年以上に混雑を覚悟して来ましたが、空き空きで席もいい席を申し込んだので、目の前でショーを見ることができ娘もステージで踊っていい思い出になり大変満足しました

I enjoyed both the hula dance and the impersonation show. Since it was Christmas, they also sang Christmas songs. The children seemed to have a great time, especially enjoying the Michael Jackson dance. The meal before the show was delicious, and the location at the Royal Hawaiian Center was very easy to find, which was great.
フラダンスとモノマネショーの両方を見れて、楽しかったです。クリスマスだったので、クリスマスソングも歌ってくれました。子供たちは、マイケルジャクソンのダンスがすごかった~とそれなりに楽しめたようです。ショーの前の食事も美味しかったですし、場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターということでとても分かりやすくてよかったです。

I participated in the VIP tour. The dinner with lobster and steak was delicious. However, there was some time left after finishing our meal before the show started, which felt a bit tedious. The show was enjoyable and well-paced. However, I found that the content might be a bit difficult to understand for those who are not of an older age group.

This was our first trip to Oahu therefore our first opportunity to visit the USS Arizona, Pearl Harbor and the USS Missouri. We were staying in Ko O'lina on the west side of the island and found very few tours that originated from the leeward side. We are so pleased this tour was offered with hotel pick up.
Our guide, a doppelgänger for Santa Claus, was funny an quite informative. The amount of time provided at each site was exactly enough for us. We feel like we got to cross a few things off our bucket list thanks to this tour.
We certainly recommend this tour.

I came to Hawaii Island for the first time. I wanted to see Kilauea Volcano, but it would take too long to get there by rental car, so I joined this tour. I was worried about whether the high cost of the tour would be worth it, but the experience was even more wonderful than I imagined. The pilot was Japanese and occasionally explained things in Japanese, which made it easy to understand.
However, be prepared for the possibility of cancellations due to weather conditions. We were able to go, but the next group had their tour canceled after checking in and had to go back...
初めてのハワイで、ハワイ島に来ました。
とりあえずキラウエア火山を見たいと思っていましたが、レンタカーでは行くまでに時間がかかり1日潰れてしまうのでこのツアーに参加しました。

パイロットの方が日本人で時折日本語を交えて説明してくださったので理解しやすかったです。
ただ、天候によって中止になることもあるので覚悟が必要です。
