We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

I made a reservation the day before, recommended by a local resident. As soon as the reservation was completed, a voucher with a QR code for my assigned seat was issued.
The performance had a Hawaiian vibe with dances and atmosphere, and the immersive experience of Cirque du Soleil was very satisfying.
If you're looking to enjoy something on a Hawaiian night, I highly recommend this experience.
One surprising thing is that as long as there are no flashes during the performance, photography and video recording are allowed.
By the way, the photos were taken from the cheapest seat in the back.

This was our 4th trip to Oahu and we had did another luau the previous trip and decided to try out paradise cove. With mixed reviews we were unsure what to expect. But wow!! Once we arrived we already loved it. So many activities to enjoy and the drinks were great! We sat in the middle towards the back due to us having a stroller but it was perfect for us. The food was good, lots of variety. The sunset was absolutely perfect that day. I would definitely love to go back and do this again!

You can watch a live performance of Hawaiian dance while the history of Hawaii is displayed on the screen.
In my group, there was someone who really liked Elvis. During the event, there was a moment when Elvis walked around the audience while singing, and he gave me a red scarf. I was very happy about that. The scarves were distributed to several people, so if you want one, make sure to express your interest!
Overall, it was a lot of fun. The announcements were made in both English and Japanese, so even if you're not good at English, you can feel at ease.

I reserved a seat in the middle, not in the front row, about seven days ago. An elderly couple from California sat next to me, and we talked about Japan, the culture of Hawaii, and the connection of Okinawan immigrants. The show started with a guitar solo, and at one point, audience members participated in playing the theme song of Five O Hawaii, making it very exciting and enjoyable. Overall, the timing was appropriate, and it was a family-friendly show that also considered Hawaii's history, making it enjoyable even for those who don't understand English. I'm glad I could see such a valuable show on Kalakaua Avenue.
最前列でなく、真ん中の席を7日ほど前に予約していました。隣にカリフォルニアから来られていた老夫婦が座られ、奥様と日本の事、ハワイの文化に沖縄の移民が関係していることなどお話ししました。ショーはギターソロに始まり、途中は客席からもお客さんが参加しFive O Hawaiiのテーマ曲演奏ととてもエキサイティングで和やかなものでした。全体としては時間も適切で、ハワイの歴史も意識したファミリー向けのショーであり、英語がわからない方にも楽しめるものでした。カラカウア通りでこのような価値あるショーが観れてよかったです。
Many Japanese people also participate. If you make a reservation, you won't have to worry about seating.

The performance unfolds in eight chapters inspired by stories from Hawaii, and there are also interactive elements that involve the audience, which made me very satisfied.

At first, I honestly thought, "Is this going to be an old-fashioned show?" and didn't have high expectations. However, once I participated, I was completely surprised in a good way. This was not just a tourist event; it was a special experience filled with the essence of Hawaii—the air, warmth, and kindness of the people.
I attended the "VIP Waikiki Luau Buffet & Show." It starts with a buffet-style dinner. Each table is set with plates, and you serve yourself. The beautifully roasted pork and roast beef are cut carefully by the chef right in front of you, creating a lively atmosphere! There’s also a wide variety of fresh salads, yakisoba, grilled chicken, and more, which made my plate overflow.
Before the meal, we were served a welcome Mai Tai. It had a tropical aroma that perfectly matched the Hawaiian atmosphere. With a Mai Tai in hand, a naturally smiling time began.
Amidst this, a local woman appeared with a ukulele. She had the vibe of a lovely neighbor rather than a staff member, and she went around to each table, delivering gentle and warm live performances. Even though it was a short time, being enveloped by her singing and the atmosphere felt like my heart was melting away.
During the meal, hula dancers performed authentic hula right in front of us. Their vibrant yet graceful movements felt like the very essence of the Hawaiian breeze. The dancers were so close that it felt easy to take photos. Additionally, the "Hula Dance Experience Time" started, allowing anyone to join in casually. Invited by the dancers, both children and adults naturally joined the circle, laughing as they experienced the hula steps. The entire venue was wrapped in a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Afterward, we walked about 30 seconds from the dining area to the main show venue. This is where "Rock-a-Hula" truly begins. On stage, impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson appeared! Their singing and dancing were astonishingly high-quality, creating an impression of "living entertainment" that went beyond mere impersonation. Enjoying classic hits from legendary stars with the latest lighting and a powerful live band is truly a unique charm of this show.
Above all, what came through from the performers and staff was their genuine desire for the guests to have a great time. Their thoughtful attention and warm responses were felt in every moment, and before I knew it, my initial impression of "this might be old-fashioned" had completely vanished.
Rock-a-Hula is an experience that transforms a Hawaiian night into a special memory. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't been yet; it was a time filled with smiles and happiness.
はじめは正直、「昔ながらのショーかな?」とあまり期待していなかったんです。でも実際に参加してみると、それは完全にいい意味で裏切られました。これは、ただの観光イベントではなく、ハワイの空気や温かさ、人の優しさまでもがぎゅっと詰まった、とっておきの体験でした。
参加したのは「VIPワイキキルアウビュッフェ&ショー」。まずはビュッフェスタイルのディナーから始まります。各テーブルにはお皿が用意されていて、自分で料理を取りに行くスタイル。豪快にローストされた豚やローストビーフは、シェフが目の前で一枚ずつ丁寧にカットしてくれて、ライブ感満点! さらにフレッシュなサラダや焼きそば、グリルチキンなど種類も豊富で、思わずプレートが山盛りになってしまいました。
食事の前には、ウェルカムマイタイが一杯ついてきます。これがまたトロピカルな香りで、ハワイの空気にぴったり。マイタイを片手に、自然と笑顔になるような時間が始まります。
そんな中、ふと現れたのがウクレレを抱えたローカルの女性。スタッフというより、まるでご近所の素敵なおばあちゃんといった雰囲気の彼女が、各テーブルをまわりながら、優しくあたたかい音色で生演奏を届けてくれます。短い時間ながら、その歌声と空気に包まれて、心がふわっと解けていくようなひとときでした。
そして、食事中には目の前でフラダンサーたちが本場のフラを披露。華やかでありながらも優美な動きは、まるでハワイの風そのもの。ダンサーとの距離がとても近くて、写真を撮るのも遠慮なくできる雰囲気。さらにその場で始まる「フラダンス体験タイム」は、誰でも気軽に参加できます。ダンサーに誘われて、子どもも大人も自然と輪に加わり、笑いながらフラのステップを体験。会場全体がほんわかとあたたかい空気に包まれました。
その後、食事会場から30秒ほど歩いて本格的なショー会場へ。ここからが「ロック・ア・フラ」の本番です。ステージには、あのエルヴィス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんたちが登場! 歌もダンスも驚くほどの完成度で、ただのモノマネを超えた“生きたエンターテインメント”という印象。往年のスターの名曲を、最新の照明と迫力の生バンドで楽しめるのは、まさにこのショーならではの魅力です。
そして何より、演者やスタッフから伝わってくるのは「お客さんに心から楽しんでもらいたい」という思い。細やかな気配りやあたたかい対応が、すべての瞬間に感じられて、気づけば最初の「古いかも?」という印象はどこかへ吹き飛んでいました。
ロック・ア・フラは、ハワイの夜を特別な思い出に変えてくれる体験です。まだ行ったことのない人にはぜひおすすめしたい、笑顔と幸福感あふれる時間でした。
The venue is well air-conditioned, so it can feel a bit cold at times, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket. Other than that, just have a great time!!
会場内は冷房がしっかり効いていて少し寒く感じることもあるので、羽織り物を持参されると安心です。あとは思いきり楽しんでください!!

As someone who has seen Cirque du Soleil performances in Las Vegas and Japan multiple times, I found the show in Hawaii to be wonderfully stylish in expressing the essence of Hawaii. However, the venue was small and the performance duration was short, which left me feeling somewhat unsatisfied with the overall content. Given that I had a good seat and the price was accordingly high, I felt a bit disappointed, especially since my expectations were quite high.
本場ラスベガスや日本でのシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユの公演を何度も観てきた者として、今回のハワイでのショーは、ハワイらしさがスタイリッシュに表現されていた点はとても素敵でした。ただ、会場の規模が小さく、上演時間も短かったため、全体的な内容としてはやや物足りなさを感じました。良い席で鑑賞したこともあり、それなりの価格でしたが、期待が大きかった分、少し残念に思ってしまいました。

This was my first time visiting Kauai, even though it was my ninth trip to Hawaii. It was the most enjoyable luau experience I've ever had.
First, after checking in, we were guided on a tram through the beautiful Smith's garden, which features peacocks and more. After that, we watched the imu ceremony and then had our meal.
During the meal, there was a band performance. A tall man who greeted us spoke to us in broken Japanese. He helped guide my husband and me, who were participating individually, to our seats. I later learned that he was Kamika Smith, the organizer. He went up on stage and sang beautifully, leaving us mesmerized. Mrs. Smith also welcomed us. After finishing our meal, we took a nice walk to the stage, which was just the right amount of exercise after eating. There was even a garden that resembled a Japanese garden. It was a beautiful garden.
I had read in the guidebook that the show included not only Hawaiian and Tahitian dances but also dances from other countries, such as New Zealand, Korea, China, Japan, and the Philippines. However, I discovered something when we got there. There were no Chinese or Korean guests that day; my husband and I were the only Asians. The Asian dance presented as a foreign dance was actually the Tokyo Ondo from Japan. I couldn't help but feel that the Smith family must have chosen the music based on where the attendees were from. Instead of Chinese or Korean dances, we had the Tokyo Ondo. I was deeply moved.
The food was delicious, and above all, I was so happy to have had a conversation with Kamika Smith himself and to experience the warm hospitality of the Smith family.
ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。今まで体験したルアウ・ショーの中で、一番楽しめた体験でした。
まず、チェックインしたあと孔雀などのいる美しいスミスさんの庭園をトラムで案内していただきます。そのあと、イムの儀式を見て、お食事になります。
食事の間には、バンド演奏をしていただきます。声をかけてくださった背の高い男性が、片言の日本語で話しかけてくださいました。ツアーの人が多く、個人参加の私たち夫婦を彼が、席に案内してくださいました。日本に帰ってから知ったのですが、彼が、カミカ・スミスさんでした。主催者さんだったのです。彼は、ステージに上がり、歌われたのですが、うっとりするほど、お上手でした。スミス婦人も歓迎してくださいました。食事が終わったあと、ステージまで、歩いていきました。ちょうどいい食事の後の散歩タイムでした。日本庭園のようなものもありました。美しいお庭です。
ショーは、ハワイアンやタヒチダンスだけでなく、他の国、ニュージーランドや韓国、中国、日本、フィリピンなど多国の踊りもあると事前にガイドブックで知っていましたが、行って初めて知ったことがあります。それは、当日のお客さんに中国や韓国の人はおられず、アジア人は私たち夫婦二人だけでした。外国の踊りとして披露いただいたアジアの踊りは、日本の東京音頭だったのです。スミスファミリーさんは、出席者がどこから来てるのかを見て、選曲されてるとしか思えなかったのです。中国、韓国の踊りでなく東京音頭だったのです。感激しました。
食事も美味しかったし、何といってもカミカ・スミスさんご本人とお話しできたこと、温かいスミスファミリーのおもてなしに幸せな時間を過ごさせていただきました。
My husband wore an aloha shirt, and I dressed up in a casual yet long dress. I was glad that most people were dressed nicely, so we didn't feel out of place.

This is my first time visiting Kauai, even though it's my ninth trip to Hawaii. It's the filming location of Elvis Presley's movie "Blue Hawaii." Memories of my youth come rushing back. I've always wanted to visit here, so I'm overwhelmed with emotion.
I came with my husband, and we are a couple aged 70 and 69. It's said that couples who visit here will find happiness. We took a boat tour that lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes round trip. At the fern cave, we landed and enjoyed hula dancing and music.
There were only two other families of Japanese couples and their daughters who were around the same age as us. Although everything was in English, we had no trouble communicating.
It was a romantic and sacred-feeling place. I tried to upload photos, but unfortunately, I couldn't.

This is absolutely a bucket list trip that everyone should take. It’s an amazing place with the USS Arizona Memorial and the tragedy of WWII. Finishing with the USS Missouri.
Aloha and mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you had an excellent experience on our Pearl Harbor tour with lunch. It truly is a meaningful journey to learn about the beginning and end of WWII and to honor those who were impacted by the war.
Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure — we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian experience and hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure.
Warmest aloha,

The audience and performers were very close, and the impact was incredible. If you go to Hawaii, you definitely should check it out. It was my first time seeing Cirque du Soleil, and now I'm curious about their other shows.
観客と演者がとても近く、迫力が凄かった。ハワイへ行ったら、絶対に足を運ぶべきです。初めてのシルクドソレイユでしたが、他の公演も気になりますね。
It's definitely worth the money.
お金を出す価値、大有りです。

I was excited to share the Lei Greeting with my family, since I recall it was a great way to start off the trip when we did it years ago. However, the Greeter just sort of handed you a Lei and Bracelet and said welcome. There was no big greeting, she was too busy to offer to take a picture, never looked us in the eyes and looked like she was overworked and just trying to hand out meals to 50 small school children as fast as possible. I ended up pulling my family aside and asking a stranger to take our photos and then explained how this is a great way to start off our family vacation.
