We stayed in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and this was attended the night of our very anniversary and all I can say is that the Luau was amazing. When everyone celebrating and anniversary was asked to go on stage, given flowers, torches came out and they shut off the lights and had the couples dance under the stars, it made our night. We could not have asked for a better experience. We had a great time, the staff was amazing and the event was more awesome than I could have ever anticipated. Highly recommend.

This was our second time attending the luau at the Sheraton and it was excellent once again. The entire luau is run efficiently and the food and entertainment are top-notch. While waiting for the food, you can participate in some ancient Hawaiian and Polynesian games and then you get to witness the unveiling of the kalua pig from the imu.

As the reviews mentioned, there were hardly any Japanese people. Most of the audience was made up of Australians and tourists from the mainland United States, with a few Koreans as well. The bus and the show were entirely in English, but I think those who have a little English ability can understand it. The host of the show spoke slowly, so I was able to understand most of it. However, there were some typical foreign show jokes that might be a bit embarrassing if you're going with children of a certain age, but the host was skilled and entertaining.
I participated in the Royal Plan, but our seats were towards the back even within that plan. Since I had my timid 4-year-old daughter with me, I think the front row would have been too overwhelming, so it was just right. Children under 4 are free, so I thought she would sit on my lap, but they provided a child’s chair. I was looking forward to the short guided tour mentioned in the plan, but it didn’t happen. There was a turtle tank on the way to the venue, so we could see that, but everyone could see it regardless of the plan. I didn’t quite understand the lomi lomi salmon & poi tasting either; I don’t think it happened.
Each person received three drink tickets, but the bar closed before the show ended, so I couldn’t use them all. There was a waiter, so it seemed like you could ask for drinks. Since the seats at the edge of the Royal Plan are right next to the Standard Plan, I think the Standard Plan isn’t too bad either.
The activities started without me realizing it, and you have to actively participate. There were so many people that I could only experience a couple of things.
I haven’t seen other shows, but this one was very good. However, I felt a bit unsatisfied. There was a lot of talking from the host and interactions with the audience on stage, and I wished I could have seen more hula. But the final fire dance was spectacular. My daughter stayed seated without getting bored, and it wasn’t too far from Waikiki. I was very satisfied with our last night in Hawaii.
口コミ通り、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。大半がオーストラリア人とアメリカ本土からの観光客で、少し韓国人の方もいました。
バスもショーもずっと英語ですが、少し英語のできる人ならわかるかなといった感じです。特にショーの司会の方はゆっくりとした英語で話されていたので、大体理解できました。ただ、外国のショーでありがちな下ネタがよく入るので、お年頃のお子さんと行くのは少し恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、話も上手で面白かったです。
ロイヤルプランで参加しましたが、席はロイヤルプランの中でも後ろでした。怖がりな4歳の娘もいたので、最前列では迫力がありすぎてダメだったと思うので、ちょうどよかったです。4歳までは無料なので、ひざの上だと思ってましたが、子供いすを用意してくださいました。このプランではショートガイドツアーがあると書いてあり、楽しみにしていましたが、ありませんでした。会場に行く途中でカメの水槽があったので、見れることは見れましたが、プランに関係なく皆さん見れます。ロミロミサーモン&ポイ試食というのもよくわかりませんでした。なかったと思います。
飲み物も一人3枚付いていましたが、ショーが終わる前にはバーが閉まっており、全部使いきれませんでした。ウェイターさんがいるので、頼めば持ってきてくれるようでした。
ロイヤルプランの端っこの席だと、スタンダードプランのすぐ横なので、スタンダードプランでもそんなに悪くはないのかなと思います。
アクティビティは、いつの間にか始まっていて、自ら積極的に参加しなくてはいけないです。人も多いので、2つほどしか体験できませんでした。
ショーは、他のを見たことありませんが、とてもよかったです。ただちょっと物足りなかったです。司会の方のトークや観客をステージに上げてのトークも多く、もっとフラを見ていたかったような気もしますが、最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。娘も飽きることなく席に座っていましたし、ワイキキからもそう遠くなく、ハワイ最後の夜に、大変満足でした。

The show was fairly good. However, being outdoors, it is affected by the weather. When I went, it started to drizzle, making it hard to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The show had impressive elements, like the fire display, but the food was lacking. Since it's a buffet, everyone lines up at once, and some items run out if you're at the back of the line. The taste was also mediocre, so I feel like once was enough for me.
ショーはそれなりによかった。
が、屋外なのもあり、天候に左右される。私のときは、小雨が降ってきて、ゆっくり楽しむところじゃなかった。
ショーは炎のところなど、見応えはあるのだが、
料理がいかんせん、いまいち。
ビュッフェなので、みな一斉にならび、モノによっては後ろの方だと品切れに。
味もいまいちなので、一度行ったらもういいかな、という感じ。

This was my first stay at Hilton. Since I wanted to see a traditional show during this trip, I experienced the Luau & Hula Hawaiian Show. I reserved a premium seat, and I had the best position right in the middle of the front row! The show included traditional performances, unique acts, and fire dancing, and I was very satisfied with the content. The food was delicious too. I definitely recommend it if you're staying at Hilton.

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Although I had a standard seat, it was close enough to the stage and very impressive. There were scenes where guests could participate, which was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of being in a foreign country. To be honest, the food was a bit disappointing, so I think it's better to consider meals separately. Also, since there is no shade, some seats are exposed to the blazing sun even in the evening. Hats and sunglasses are a must!
初めてのハワイ旅行です。スタンダードシートでしたが舞台には十分近く、迫力満点でした。ゲスト参加のシーンもあり、非常に楽しく、異国感を味わえました(=´∀`)人(´∀`=)食事は正直微妙でした、、食事は別で考えたほうがいいと思います。また、日除けがないため、夕方ですが席によっては炎天下に暫しさらされます。帽子やサングラスなど必須です☆

After reading everyone's reviews, we decided not to upgrade our seats and lined up in front of the reception about 30 minutes early to wait for it to open. Naturally, there weren't many people lining up that early, so we were first in line. As a result, we were guided to the best seats in the general area, which had a great view. The food was just okay.
This might be true for shows everywhere, but even though this is Hawaii, I was a bit disappointed that there were more revealing Tahitian dances than elegant Hawaiian hula. However, the final fire knife dance is always a highlight, no matter how many times you see it.
皆さんの口コミを見て、席のグレードアップはせず、30分くらい前から受付前に並び、開くのを待ちました。当然こんなに早く並んでいる人たちはおらず、私たちが1番。なので一般席の中でも1番前の見やすい席へ案内してもらえました。料理もまあまあかな。
どこのショーにも共通して言えることなのでしょうが、ここはハワイなのに、優雅なハワイアンフラよりも、露出度の高いタヒチアンダンスの方が多いのがちょっとだけ不満です。
でも、最後のファイアーナイフダンスは何度見ても良いものですね。

the package includes 4:00 pm late admission, followed by the ali'i luau (dinner and show), then about an hour break before the start of "Ha" (the night show). there's a lot to see at the PSC and unfortunately you don't get to enjoy much of the park with a late admission, so if we'd had it over to do again we would've tried to get a package that let us enter earlier. the luau was really enjoyable, and the food in the buffet was surprisingly tasty! there's an hour between the end of the luau buffet and "Ha", so we went to see the Hawaiian history movie (sorry, can't remember the name of it), which involved 15 minutes of watching gorgeous scenery. "Ha" itself reminded many of us in the group of a polynesian version of "Lion King the musical", but the fire dancing finale was spectacular--definitely the highlight.

I searched for a Japanese-guided tour with Sunrise Tours but couldn't find one, so I thought, "Well, anything I can see with an English guide is fine!" and decided to join this tour.
I was nervous about the reconfirmation once I arrived, but I completely replaced the instructions from Veltra on "how to reconfirm in English" with my own and managed to get through it successfully!
We were picked up at 2:20 AM and boarded a shared bus, listening to the guide talk about what I believe was the history of Hawaii as we headed to the summit. The other foreign passengers were surprisingly underdressed, but some started to bundle up as we gained altitude.
When we reached the visitor center near the summit and got off the bus, the strong wind was so intense that it felt like we could be blown away. It was hard to even catch my breath. Despite this, we made it to the viewpoint and waited there, enduring the cold and wind in the dark. Slowly, an orange light began to appear. The sun rose very gradually, coloring the clouds in a way I had never seen before. The moment the sunlight broke through, the locals began to sing. A truly sacred and majestic atmosphere filled the air. It was an emotional experience that I will never forget.
After watching the sunrise, we went to the summit and enjoyed the view from there. It was a 360-degree panorama. It wasn't the panorama of buildings seen from Tokyo's Tokyo Skytree, but a breathtaking natural panorama! I learned that the silver sword plant only blooms once every 20 years, but there were many in bloom.
It might have been better if I understood English more, but I managed to get by with a basic understanding. I definitely plan to participate again the next time I visit Maui.
サンライズツアーで日本語ガイドのツアーを探しましたが見つからず、まぁ英語ガイドでも見られるものは一緒!と思ってこのツアーに参加しました。
現地に着いてからのリコンファームからドキドキでしたが、ベルトラさんの「英語でのリコンファームの仕方」をまるまるそっくり自分に置き換えて伝え、無事にクリアできました!
早朝2:20ピックアップで混載バスに乗りガイドさんのたぶんハワイの歴史と思われる話を聞きながら山頂に向かいました。同乗の外人さんたちはびっくりするはどの薄着でしたが、高度が上がるにつれて着膨れしていく方もいました。
山頂付近のビジターセンターまで上がりバスを降りるとガイドさんもびっくりするほどの強い風で吹き飛ばされるほどでした。息を吸うのもやっとな感じです。そんな中ビューポイントまでやってきてそこで待機。じーっと寒さと風に耐えながら真っ暗な中待っているとオレンジ色の光がうっすらさしてきます。本当にゆっくりゆっくり日が昇っていき雲を染めていきます。本当に今までに見たことのない光景です。太陽の光が差した瞬間現地の方達が歌い始めます。本当に神聖な荘厳な空気があたりに満ちました。感動的な体験で一生忘れないと思います。
サンライズを見た後は山頂まで行き、そこからの展望を楽しみました。360度の大パノラマです。東京の◯◯ツリーから見る建物のパノラマでなく、自然のパノラマにも感動!高山植物の銀剣草も20年に1度しか花を咲かせないそうですがたーくさん咲いていました。
英語がもっとわかればもっとよかったかもしれないけれど、なんとなくわかる程度でも大丈夫。また今度マウイに行った時には是非参加しようと思いました。

I first visited the Caves of the Ferns 20 years ago, and this was my second time. Since I was participating alone, I had assumed that the tour boat would have an English guide. However, on this day, there was a boat with a Japanese guide, and I was able to join that one. It was a chartered boat for a group of Japanese tourists, so I was lucky. Unfortunately, I couldn't enter the Caves of the Ferns. A new observation deck was established, and I had to view it from there, which was disappointing. However, the explanations from the Japanese guide made the situation clear, and I understood it well.
シダの洞窟は20年前にはじめて行き、今回が2回目でした。一人参加のため遊覧船は英語ガイドになると観念していました。ところがこの日は日本語ガイドの船が出るのでそちらに乗せてくれました。日本人の団体のためにチャーターした船でした。ラッキーでした。シダの洞窟には入れませんでした。展望台が新設されてここから眺めることになり残念でした。日本語ガイドの説明で事情がよくわかり納得でした。
