Well worth the money. I love the food. Everybody was very courtious and helped every way they could. All the staff was so helpful to us. My fiance is in wheelchair and they helped in every possible way. We got to have captain help us up to top floor to see fireworks. What an experience I couldn't tell u anything bad about this. They let u smoke on top of ship which is a good nerve helper. I would totally do it again

There was no lava erupting nor flowing. We had Door closed Ride. What Open Door Tour will experience ? Prior to our arrival at Hilo, I was told , " YES " you can see Lava , etc. Your office should give real truthful information. Some tourists come from too far away, like we came to Hawaii from Michigan, ( Main Land ) ... ... 1 ! !.

First time to visit Ko Olina. The place was awesome. It was beyond my expectation. I was expecting a lower standard but the ambiance was truly Hawaiian, staff was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the Luau, food was also beyond my expectation. Overall, we had a wonderful time. My kids were impressed and it's one of their favorite memories in Hawaii.

The luau show was impressive and enjoyable. However, I couldn't understand the explanations since I don't speak Japanese. I felt it was unkind that it wasn't clear that the drinks were not included and that you could only use up to $16. I had the impression that Japanese would be understood in Hawaii, but it seems that there are many English-speaking guests.
ルアウのショーは迫力があってよかったです。日本語が通じなくて、説明が全く分かりませんでした。ドリンク二杯つきではなく16ドルまで使えるものとか分からないので、不親切に思いたした。ハワイだから日本語が通じる感覚だったのですが、英語圏の方の利用が多いのですね。

When you come to Hawaii, you must visit. It's a luau at my favorite Ko Olina.
The staff member who guides the shuttle bus is a wonderful DJ, making the ride enjoyable. They explain how to enjoy the luau in English. There are also restrooms available, which is great since the air conditioning can be quite strong. A thicker jacket is recommended.
As soon as you enter the venue, you are handed a punch. This alone lifts your spirits. Then, you receive a lei and take commemorative photos, posing with the dancers.
You are shown to your table for dinner, and until the meal begins, you can freely explore the venue. This time, I rode a canoe. Even if you don't paddle, the paddler does all the work, so it's fine. I'm satisfied with the friendly approach of the paddler.
While taking photos of the sea behind the stage, I encountered a mongoose. This is one of the fun aspects.
The sunset over the sea is beautiful, and the event is enjoyable (you can have fun for just $1 in tips). The stage is wonderful, and the dancers are of high quality. Even if you don't understand English, you can still enjoy it. There is a dance time, so couples might find it memorable to dance together in the dark shade of the trees.
When you enter, you receive a card with $12 worth of drinks. Since drinks are $6 to $11 each, you might be able to have two glasses of wine or beer. The meal is a buffet, so you need to get your own food. It seems like there are fewer options than before, but it's delicious. Drinks can be brought to you.
Water, coffee, and tea are free, but since the event ends early, it's best to get them early.
To have a fun time, I recommend dressing up in a muumuu or an aloha shirt. If you want to feel the Hawaiian breeze, I think you should definitely visit.
ハワイに来たら必ず訪れます。大好きなコオリナでのルアウです。
送迎バスの案内係りの方が素晴らしいDJで盛り上げるので、バスの車中も楽しく過ごせました。
どんな風にルアウで過ごせばいいか、などを英語で説明してくれます。
トイレも付いていました。冷房がきついので、これはありがたかったです。
上着は厚めの方がいいです。
会場に入るとすぐにパンチが渡されます。
これだけで氣分は盛り上がります。
そしてレイを掛けてもらい、記念撮影。
ダンサーさんに挟まれてポーズです。
食事のテーブル席に案内されて、食事が始まるまで自由に場内を遊びます。
今回はカヌーに乗りました。
焦げなくても、漕ぎ手の方が全部濃いでくれるので大丈夫。
漕ぎ手の方の優しい接し方に満足です。
舞台裏で海を撮っていたら、マングースに出会いました。
こんなことも楽しみのひとつです。
海に沈む夕陽も美しく、イベントも楽しくて(チップ制なので$1で楽しめます)
ステージも素晴らしいし。ダンサーのレベルが高いです。
英語が分からなくても堪能できます。
ダンス・タイムがありますので、ご夫婦で行かれる方は、暗闇の木陰でしっとりと踊られると思い出になると思います。
飲み物は入場するときにカードが渡され$12分入っています。
一杯$6~11なので、ワインやビールなら2杯飲めるかも。
食事はビュッフェなので自分で取りにいかないといけません。
以前より品数は少なくなったような氣がしますが美味しいです。
飲み物は運んでもらえます。
お水やコーヒー、紅茶は無料ですが、終了時間が早いので、早めに取っておくのがいいと思います。
楽しく過ごすために、ムームーやアロハ・シャツでドレスアップをおすすめします。
とにかく、ハワイの風を感じたい方は、訪れてみたらいいと思います。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time seeing this show. I chose the buffet, and the taste was quite good! It's one of the better buffets I've had! During the meal, there were live performances with ukulele music and two hula dancers that really livened up the atmosphere. I was surprised by how wonderful the venue was when I entered! Elvis and Gaga were amazing, but Michael was the best of all! As I watched, he started to look real. Haha!
ハワイには何度も行ってるけど初めてこのショーを見て見ました☆

I'm afraid the whales were very shy during our particular trip. We did see two on 4/5 occasions but only briefly from a distance. In these circumstances I think it's best to look upon the trip as a pleasure cruise because we were treated to great views of the Western side of Big Island. The crew deserve a mention...always polite and courteous...they looked after everyone with complimentary soft drinks.

My husband and I were doing our 1 year anniversary during this trip. The crazy early hour was insane but well worth it. It was beautiful watching the sun rise as someone sang a native song. Our tour guide was amazing always had some new fact or funny story to say. He had us laughing quite a bit. Especially his jokes that would catch us off guard through the drive. "Men are from Mars women are from Visa" still makes me giggle. Now my husband is telling that to everyone! The breakfast was good at a local golf course. I'd go again only for our driver I think he was the best part of the entire tour. He was worth every penny. A great tour guide makes all the difference. Thank you!

The fern grotto is a piece of Hawaiian history. Originally the site of a huge waterfall, before the river was diverted for irrigation, and originally the site of hundreds of ferns, before being battered by cyclones, this place is not what it once was.
It would have been a very impressive tourist attraction in the early 1900s but unfortunately ferns need water to grow and as it is with the river not going through here this place will never be as impressive and at the moment the tourist operators are trying to flog a dead horse.
Unless they divert the river back through here and let the ferns regenerate I would not recommend it. Time to put this activity out to pasture!

The intense dancers were really impressive!

Forgot my jacket but bought some souvenir sweatshirts in the visitor center :) so remember your jacket.
We stood and watched the sunrise and it was worth being cold for an hour. What an experience. Will do it again for sure!

It exceeded our expectations! We initially planned to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center because we wanted to see a luau show that wasn't touristy. However, with a short stay of 4 nights and 6 days, the PCC was a bit too far. One of my friends suggested that since the luau show at the Hilton is at a hotel, we could expect good food as well, so we decided to participate in the Star Light Luau Show, prioritizing time efficiency. I think it was wonderful. The buffet-style meal was, of course, great, and the staff's welcoming attitude, service, and the show itself were all very satisfying and of high quality. The beauty of the sunset time was also lovely.
期待以上でした!
観光化されていないルアウショーを見たかった私たちは、はポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを当初予定していました。
しかし、4泊6日という短い滞在日程で、PCCは少し遠すぎます。
そこで、友達の一人が、ヒルトンのルアウショーなら、ホテルってこともあり、食事も期待できる?と提案し、時間短縮重視でスターライトルアウショーに参加することにしました。
いやぁ~、素晴らしかったと思います。ブッフェスタイルの食事はもちろんのこと、出迎えのスタッフの対応や、サービス、そして肝心のショーもとても満足のいくもので、質が高かったともいます。サンセットタイムの美しさもまた素敵でした。
