An unforgettable engaging experience! The whole crew was personable, entertaining, helpful, just good people that really love what they do!

I enjoyed a buffet featuring local Hawaiian cuisine. They also serve lovely cocktails. The quality of the food is high, and everything is delicious. If you want to get the popular desserts, you should go for them early, as there’s a bit of a scramble! The dining experience lasts about two hours, during which hula dancers and hosts keep the atmosphere lively. After that, there was a show in the theater featuring local singers and performances that recreated famous artists. The authentic dance, singing, and music blend very well together. The performance engages the audience, making it enjoyable without getting boring. There were also small children in attendance. Since they performed Disney songs, I think it can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.

ハワイの現地のご飯をビュッフェを楽しみました。ドリンクも素敵なカクテルがサービスされます。ご飯のクオリティーが高く、どれも美味しいです。デザートは早めに取りに行かないと人気なものは争奪戦です！ご飯の所要時間は２時間内ぐらいで、その間にフラダンサーの方やホストが場を盛り上げてくれます。その後のシアターでのショーでは、現地のシンガーや有名な歌手を再現したショーなどがありました。本格的なダンスと歌、演奏がとてもマッチしています。観客を巻き込んだパフォーマンスで飽きずに楽しめます。小さなお子さんも見にきていました。ディズニーの曲も披露していたので、幅広い年代で楽しめると思います。

This was a unique and fun activity! It was just the right amount of time and no big crowd. We would definitely do it again!

The show only had a little hula dancing, and the meal was simple. At 25,000 yen per person, it’s way too expensive. I thought there would be a stage, but they just danced a little between the seats. From our seats, we could only see the back of the dancer. I won't come back again.

ショーが少しフラを踊ってくれる程度で食事も質素。あれで1人25,000円は高すぎる。
舞台が　あるのかと思っていたけど　客席の間で少し踊るだけ。
私達の席は踊ってる人の後ろ姿が見えるだけ
もう2度といらない。

This place made me sound like a broken record…I was lost for words and kept saying “wow”. My husband and I really enjoyed this part of our trip to Hawaii. We had so much fun! Our guides Lee and Matt were amazing at giving us the experience of a lifetime, they were professional, funny, and perfect for the adventure!
We recommend wearing a face cover and dark clothing/change of clothing because of the dirt buildup throughout the drive! They have a wash station right after the tour so no need to worry.

After experiencing many luau all across Hawaii, I can happily say that Mauka Warriors is one of the best I have had the pleasure of attending~

Pick-up from Waikiki was hella convenient, and even though we hit traffic on the way to the luau, the guide was great about keeping everyone informed and telling us interesting facts, history, and stories about Hawaii.

Once we arrived, we were greeted with a fresh flower lei (get the Mo'i Experience y'all!) and were escorted to the front row!!! WHOOO! With so many activities to do, and being able to order drinks from our phone made it a great start to the whole evening.

The food at Mauka Luau was pretty tasty too, and I loved that they had both poi and lomi lomi salmon, but their fish was the highlight of the menu for both me and my friend.

But the main event was def the Mauka Warriors Luau show, and omg...it was amazing. The fire knife dancing was some of the best I have seen in all of Hawaii, and even the kids were literally fire on stage, but I really loved that they incorporated Hawaiian and Polynesian warrior culture and history into a story rather than just a bunch of random songs and dances.

10/10 would definitely recommend!

There was soooo much to do at the park we couldn’t even do it all. I wanted to see the birds and the sharks the most. I think the program was geared towards kids...so I let my inner child out to play. The sea lion of course was my favorite part. He was super smart and it was clear that him and the trainer had such a great relationship, almost like a little puppy eager to please. He did show more interest in the trainer than any of us, but that’s to be expected we even still got to pet him!

My first experience flying in a Cessna over Oahu was filled with satisfaction that surpassed both tension and anticipation, lasting about an hour.

During the shuttle ride to the hotel, we enjoyed fun conversations in Japanese, and I felt reassured by the presence of a Japanese interpreter during the briefing with the pilot at the office.

Before and during the flight, they took free photos and videos, which they sent to me via LINE before I returned to the hotel.

The pilot's handling of the aircraft was meticulous, and he checked on my well-being several times during the flight.

If I have the opportunity, I would love to customize another flight with Lani Lea Flight School.

人生初のセスナでオアフ島周遊フライトは、緊張感と期待感を軽く飛び越して満足感の上空を約１時間に渡り味わいました。
ホテルへの送迎車内での日本語での楽しい会話、オフィスでのパイロットとのブリーフィングも日本語通訳が同席していただいて安心しました。
フライト前、フライト中にも無料で写真や動画を撮影してくれて、ホテルに帰る前にラインで送って頂きました。
パイロットの操縦も丁寧で、フライト中に体調の確認を何度も気配りしてくれました。
機会があれば今度もLani Lea Flight School のフライトをオーダーメイドしたいなと思います。

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

自分では、予約が難しいのでツアーに参加。ガイドさんが　英語でしたが、
一生懸命　翻訳してくれて　安心できました。ハナウマ湾は、５回目でしたが
浅瀬がサンゴ礁のため　熱帯魚とたっぷり遊べました。

The weather is awesome! I got to see a group of honu (sea turtles) and dolphins, which was amazing! I enjoyed plenty of Waikiki and also got to see Diamond Head, which was fantastic!

天気☀️もサイコー！
ホヌ、イルカの群れにも会え、サイコー！
たっぷりワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見れサイコー！

Please let me know what is necessary for horseback riding in Japanese.
The scenery description was in English.
The meeting time was around 8 o'clock, but there was a lot of waiting time, and we returned to Waikiki around 5 o'clock. You might want to think of it as a full-day activity.
During the waiting time, we were able to enjoy ourselves by going to a nearby beach and looking at souvenirs.

乗馬に必要なことは日本語で伝えてくれます。
景色の説明は英語でした。
8時ごろの集合でしたが、待ち時間が多く、ワイキキに帰ったのは17時ごろでした。1日かかると思た方がいいかもしれません。
待ち時間は近くのビーチに行ったり、お土産をみたり、それなりに楽しく過ごせました。

Last time it rained and it was a bit unsatisfying, but this time I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery under a blue sky. Even though it was sunny, it was cold, so I was glad I brought two beach towels. I think many people participate hoping to see the sandbar, but it seems you can only see it during a very low tide. (The tide level was -0.5, but the water was up to my knees.) You can see plenty of turtles and fish while snorkeling, so it's a lot of fun. They provide snorkeling gear, but there are no fins. The crew was kind and friendly, and it was clear they wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. This is definitely an activity I want to participate in again. I hope the exchange rate improves or that the prices become more affordable.

前回は雨が降って物足りなかったのですが、今回は青空の下できれいな景色を満喫できました。
晴れていても寒く、バスタオルを２枚持って行っていて正解でした。
砂州を見たくて参加する方が多いかと思いますが、よほどのLOW TIDEじゃないと見られないのではないでしょうか。
（潮位が−0.5でしたが膝下まで水位がありました）
シュノーケリングで亀や魚がたくさん見られますので楽しめます。
シュノーケルは貸してもらえますが、フィンはありません。
クルーが親切で感じの良い方ばかりで、楽しませてくれようとしているのがとても伝わりました。
是非また参加したいアクティビティです。
なので円高が進むとか、料金がお手頃になってもらいたいものです。

- That was a great show! Excited about every performance. Delicious food with plenty of choices. The staff is welcoming, adorable, smiles all around, and polite to every customer.
- I love the performance! The stage acts are fantastic, and every actor performs so well. The singing is incredibly beautiful
- A place near the accommodation, convenient to travel to, and easy to find parking.
- My husband and I will definitely come back to use the service again, and we'll bring our family along next time.

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. They provided beautiful live music and some ono doughnuts + beverages! The sandbar was absolutely beautiful!

We recommend to bring water shoes if you want to snorkel…or in general, they come in handy! And don’t forget sunscreen! Also another tip is if you plan to use an Uber/Lyft as transportation that you pre book prior for pick-up especially! Because we were told that people sometimes waited hours to be picked up from that location. We pre-booked and waited probably 15mins.

I enjoyed both the buffet and the show from start to finish. There were some songs I didn't know, but the interaction with the audience during the show really made me feel like I was in a foreign country! I had a great time even by myself!

ビュッフェもショーも最初から最後まで楽しみました。知らない曲もありましたが、ショーでの観客とのやり取りとか、ああ外国に来たなぁという感じが満載でした！1人でも楽しめました！

I participated on Tuesday, and I had heard it was the most beautiful day, but the waves were high and the water was murky. There's nothing that can be done about luck, so it's unfortunate.

火曜日の参加だったので、一番きれいだと聞いていましたが、波が立っていて海中が濁ってしまいました。
こればっかりは運なので仕方ないですが残念でした。

Its our first time to travel to hawaii and attending a luau is for sure one of the things we want to try! I came across online this activity and booked it right away. We had it last night and all i can say was just WOW!!!!! LITERALLY WOW! Me and my husband did the Rock a Lua in the heart of waikiki, Just few steps aways from our hotel. We were greeted with sweet smiles of the reception and entertainers and sent to our table, The set up is good on the dining area, And come to the buffet set up it was all Gooooood!!! Also with the Roasted Pig? Omg! It was so goooooood especially the skin part! The welcome to dinner buffet and the performances in between was just really entertaining! We come to the performance time to the theater and its SPECTACULAR!!! we didnt expect that the show was like that, not the usual show but a lot of performances from singing to dancing with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Hahahahah that was the main show! Its kinda scary but at the same thing all of our jaw dropped! Its a jow dropping show and performances. The Dances were really good too, the band, the set up. Basically everything it was a lively and very entertaining show. Id do it over and over again if given a chance! THE WHOLE BUFFET AND SHOW WAS A SPOT ON!!! ITS WAS REALLY GOOD!

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

Alisha and Chloe were great. This was a lot of fun despite the rain. Be prepared to get muddy though.

The greenery was beautiful, and no matter how much we drove the buggy, the vast ranch seemed to stretch on forever. It was breathtaking to see the ocean as well.
We drove the buggy four times, with designated spots to switch drivers, but the last leg was quite hard, so I think it would be more enjoyable to let someone who loves driving take over then.
The neck warmer we received at the beginning, which fit snugly around the neck, seemed like a participant's badge, so I followed everyone else's lead and kept it around my neck. However, at the very end, when the dust was terrible, I covered my face to shield my mouth and nose, and it turned out to be a great safety guard, making it very comfortable. I thought if I had done that from the start, I wouldn't have gotten sand on my face, but looking back, I couldn't help but laugh at our completely blackened faces. The photos we took after returning home captured some funny expressions. (Sunglasses are a must!)
I was delighted when a cute female staff member took many photos for us at the photo spot. The Moai statue was great.

緑が美しく、バギーで走れど走れど、まだまだ先は長く続く、壮大すぎる牧場でした。海も見えて感動です。
バギーは4回、下車スポットがあって交代で運転しましたが、最後の4回目がハードなのでそこは運転好きの人に代わって貰うと、楽しいかなと思います。
最初にいただいた首にスッポリとかぶるネックウォーマーみたいなのは、それが参加者の印かなと思って皆の真似をして首に置いておきましたが、最後の最後に砂埃が酷い時に口元や鼻を隠すように顔を覆ったら、安全ガードとなってとても快適でした。最初からやっていれば顔に砂が付かなかったのにと思いましたが、終わってみると真っ黒な顏をした自分達を笑えなかったかなと、帰国して見た写真には面白顏の記録が残っています。（サングラス必須）
スタッフの可愛い女性が、撮影スポットで写真を頼むと、たくさん撮ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。モアイ像が良かったです。

First, we watched the sunset sinking into the sea from the boat before entering the water. That alone is worth seeing.
Then, when I actually jumped into the sea and held onto the float, I saw a manta ray swimming gracefully. With its mouth wide open... it was truly moving!
I was initially warned not to touch them, but there were moments when they passed so close that I was scared I might accidentally touch one. Although manta rays are not always visible, I was healed by watching them swim slowly with their bodies larger than mine.

まず、海に入る前に船上から海に沈む夕日を見学しました。それだけでも見る価値があります。
そして実際に海に飛び込み、フロートを握りしめていると‥マンタが悠々と泳いでいます。口を大きく開けて‥それは感動物です！！
触らないように、と最初に注意事項を説明されたのですが、本当に目の前ギリギリを通ることもあり触ってしまいそうで怖かったです。常にマンタが見える訳ではありませんが、自分より大きな身体をゆっくり動かし泳ぐマンタに癒されました。

The boat and crew were great. The snorkeling, not so much. Make sure you check the tide before you book! It's a sand bar and reef, so if the tide is out it will be too shallow to snorkel. We lost an hour of our two hours snorkel time waiting for the tide to come in, and when it did, it was still too shallow to snorkel over the reefs. And with all the ppl walking around stirring up the bottom, it was too murkey to see much anyway. Pretty mush a loss.
But did I mention the crew? Great music, helpful crew saved the day

This was such a fun family activity. My 12 year old daughter, my wife and I had a blast and our guides Destiny and Khalil were very professional and fun. Highly recommended! Next time we're trying the atv's too!

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。

Upon visiting Hawaii for the first time, the first people I encountered were the staff of this shuttle bus. However, when I introduced myself to the person in the yellow aloha shirt, the only response I received was a pointed finger saying "go over there." I went in that direction, found the meeting place, and saw the bus, which made me feel relieved as I sat on a bench waiting. However, I was left waiting for quite a while. There weren't any particular troubles, so I have no complaints, but I think it would have been more reassuring if they had displayed the departure times and destinations.

初めてハワイを訪れて、最初に会う方々がこの送迎バスのスタッフさんたちでしたが、黄色いアロハシャツの人に名乗っても「あっちに行け」と指を差すだけの反応しかなかった。そっちに行けば集合場所があってバスも停まっていて、ここでいいんだと一安心してベンチに座って待っていたが、そこからしばらく放置プレイ。特にトラブルがあったわけではないので文句はないですが、出発時刻や行き先を表示するなどしておいてくれれば不安なく利用できたと思う。

I was worried due to the strong winds and the sudden reservation the day before, but everything went smoothly. We ended up fishing in shallow waters, but it was still quite enjoyable. During the trip, we were greeted by a pod of dolphins. The rental equipment was reasonably maintained, but there might be some inconsistencies. The captain spoke a little Japanese, so there were no issues. There was a delay in gathering participants, which caused us to set sail later, but well, it's Hawaii time...

連日の強風と、前日の急な予約で心配しましたが無事に遂行
状況に合わせた浅場での釣りになりましたが、それなりに楽しく遊べました
移動中はイルカ群れのお迎えもありました
貸し出し道具はそこそこの手入れで、あたりはずれがありそう
キャプテンは多少日本語も話せるので問題無し
参加者の集合遅れなどがあり出航が遅くなったが、まぁHawaiiTimeなので、、、

Food was great! They made enough for seconds for everyone. The boat ride and snorkeling experience was great. A lot of fun. I recommend this experience if you want to have a personalized trip with great people!

We really enjoyed the tubing adventure. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon and cool off.

Charismatic host and thrilling performances by men, women and children representing the different island nations/territories. Food is buffet style with many tasty options. Alcohol free options were also available and enjoyable.

This tour was so amazing! Our pilot was knowledgable and they played fun music during the ride. We saw all the areas of the island that you cannot access. So many waterfalls, Wamea Canyon and the NaPali coast. We plan to come back and to this again with our kids.
