Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Pacific Star - Star of Honolulu

Reviewed by: Cheyenne Klein

It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.

Pacific Star All the Way!

I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!

My friends and I have experienced the beautiful Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and it was the most memorable event ever. To begin the night was a graceful performance of the hula performers who greeted us aboard. We enjoyed songs of a live band and our favorite cocktails as we were seated to our table. The interior of the boat was elegantly decorated with special lighting and table settings, perfect for setting the mood of any occasion. As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course. Throughout the rest of our tour, we watched an entertaining act of Polynesian dancers of different cultures, like Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and Tongan performances done by professionals with great aloha sp

Some friends and I got together to attend the Royal Hawaiian Luau at the large beautiful pink hotel of Waikiki and it was great. We were greeted with beautiful orchid flower leis at the entrance of the luau by the performers and immediately served a welcome mai tai. The whole setting of the feast was decorated with class and Oh-My-Goodness, the beach and the sunset was perfect to capture a photographic memory.

The host of the show did not waste anytime in welcoming all the guests preparing us for a wonderful feast and show. The food was delicious. There were several isles of Honolulu's most popular food and desert and lets not forget the huge roasted pig that everyone looked eager to taste. The Polynesian performers were brilliant. They were graceful, energetic, and very entertaining. They got the audience involved and let visitors get an experience their first hukilau and Tahitian dancing. The Polynesian performers were awesome and very energetic. They really put on a great show.

First of all, may I just say YUMMM!? If there is one thing that this luau does well, it is the food! The buffet lines were groaning under the weight of all of the delicacies and the tables were laden with a bounty of food. There were tossed, macaroni and shrimp salads, an incredibly yummy fruit salad mixed with haupia, a perfect lomi-lomi salmon (not too salty like how a lot of places make it), some kalua pork which was insanely juicy, of course there was some of the ever-popular mahi-mahi, and my favorite, teriyaki beef that just melted in my mouth! I kept going back for more and even though I was stuffed, I still had enough room for dessert, and thank goodness for that. The guava cake was to-die-for and the macadamia nut cream pie was a little slice of heaven. Yes, it was really THAT good!

キラウエア火山 ヘリコプター遊覧　水～土曜日10:30限定で日本語パイロットのリクエスト可能＜フライト100分／英語パイロット／ワイコロアヘリポート＞

Experience the vastness of the Big Island of Hawaii! ハワイ島の広さを実感！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was picked up from the hotel in Waikoloa, and although I was told that a confirmation couldn't be made, I was able to ride in a helicopter piloted by the only Japanese pilot (Mr. Mochizuki) whom I had requested via email in advance. Mr. Mochizuki provided explanations in both languages to the American couple accompanying us and to us, which made it very enjoyable.

It was my first experience in a helicopter, and there was no vibration, with glass all the way to the floor. I was able to see the lava flowing into the ocean at Kilauea Volcano, and it was amusing to see the cows grazing on the vast Parker Ranch appearing as tiny dots. I was surprised to hear about the elementary school that was affected by a tsunami, located on top of an 800-meter cliff in Waipi'o Valley, and we got very close to a waterfall that has a drop of 1,000 meters, allowing us to fully enjoy the majestic nature.

Waikoloa is a dry area with brown lava land, but as we got closer to Hilo, we experienced sudden rain and saw much greenery, making for a wonderful experience of the vastness and climate differences of the Big Island in a short time! (Driving around takes a whole day, right?) Additionally, on the way back, although we had to wait for a few minutes, we could purchase the video from that day that was on board the helicopter.

ワイコロアのホテルからピックアップしてもらい、確約は出来ないと言われていましたが事前に直接メールでお願いしていた唯一の日本人パイロット（望月さん）の操縦するヘリコプターに乗せていただき、望月氏が同乗のアメリカ人カップルと我々に2カ国語で交互に説明して下さったのでとても楽しかったです。
ヘリコプターは初体験でしたが、震動もなく足下までガラス張りなので、キラウエア火山では海に流れ落ちる溶岩を見ることが出来、広大なパーカー牧場では放牧されている牛たちがまるで点のように小さいのがおかしく、ワイピオバレーでは800ｍの絶壁の上にあった小学校が津波の被害にあった話に驚き、落差1000ｍもあるという滝のすぐ近くまで寄ってくださるなど雄大な自然を堪能できました。
ワイコロアは乾燥地帯で溶岩の茶色い土地ばかりですが、ヒロに近くなると突然の雨で緑も多くハワイ島の広さと気候の違いなど素晴らしい体験を短時間で出来ました！（車で周遊するのは1日掛かりですよね）
また、帰りには数十分待ちますが、ヘリコプターに搭載されていた当日のビデオを購入することも出来ます。

We searched for whales for about an hour and a half after setting sail, but unfortunately, we didn't see any. The explanations were only in English, and I didn't understand most of it. However, we finally found a pod of dolphins and spent quite a long time moving through the sea with them. Many dolphins swam around the boat, and we were able to see them up close. They jumped repeatedly, putting on quite a show. In conclusion, I'm glad I participated.

I attended a Christmas luau with my elementary school child. In the morning at the hotel, I tried to reserve a Hanohano seat (which costs $8 for adults), but it was sold out. However, I was told that if we lined up on the left side of the coastal path, between around 4:20 and 4:30 PM (the gathering time was at 4:45), we could get good seats. This way, we ended up right behind the Hanohano seats in front of the stage. Upon entry, we received a shell lei for free. Mai Tais and beers were unlimited. After enjoying making fish out of tattoos and palm leaves, we watched the Kalua pig being brought out and the king entering from the sea, followed by our meal time (which included Hawaiian foods like poi and haupia, and we were full). The show featured dances from Hawaii, New Zealand, Tahiti, and a fire dance from Samoa (which the kids loved!).

It was interactive, with hula dancing, shouting greetings from each country loudly, and even doing lomi lomi massages with the person next to you, which was a lot of fun. There were few Japanese people, and the family next to us was from Portland, but we got along well. Let's enjoy together with the foreigners!

It was a fleeting moment! あっというまの時間でした！

Reviewed by: MIKI

It was my first time on the Big Island of Hawaii. I absolutely wanted to experience a luau! I thought it might be a bit different from Oahu, so I joined this tour. It was more packed than I expected, and I wanted to experience various things, so the time flew by.

First, he bought me a fresh lei for a commemorative photo! (Even if you don't buy one, everyone receives a shell lei.) When we were shown to our seats, the men immediately got up to grab drinks from the drink bar. In the meantime, I greeted the people at the same table. Then we headed to the plaza where various events were happening. First, I got a tattoo-style painting on my arm. I requested my favorite honu (sea turtle)! I also joined a hula lesson that had already started nearby. They quickly taught us the choreography for one song. I learned how to crack a coconut and did some weaving with lauhala (though I wasn't participating, so I don't know what was being made). Then they showed us the kalua pig, which is the main dish for dinner (a whole pig cooked underground).

There was never a dull moment! As the sun began to set, a canoe carrying Kamehameha arrived from the shore. This marked the beginning of the show. When I returned to my seat to get food, various dances from different countries were performed on stage.

I was able to chat with a newlywed couple from California at my table, and it was a very enjoyable evening.

初めてのハワイ島でした。

その間に同じテーブルになった人たちとごあいさつ。
そしていろいろな催し物がある広場へ・・・。
まずは、うでにtatoo風ペイントをしてもらいました。私は大好きなホヌをリクエスト！
そしてすでに横で始まっていたフラレッスンに途中参加。
ざっとですが、1曲振り付けを教えてもらいました。
ココナッツの割り方を教えてもらったり、ラウハラで何か編んだり（参加してなかったので何を作っていたのかわかりません。）そうかと思えばディナーのメインでもある、カルアピッグ（豚を丸ごと蒸し焼きしたもの）の姿を見せてくれたり。
とにかく、暇がない！！
そして、日が暮れかかった頃、海岸からカメハメハを載せたカヌーがやってきた。
ここからショーの始まり。
席に戻って、料理を取りにいくと、ステージではいろいろな国のダンスが披露された。

This tour is amazing. It keeps you happy from start to finish. If you want to learn about Hawaiian traditions, I believe this is the only tour to take. Last time I visited Hawaii, I participated in the tour at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which is well-known in Japan. While that might be good if it's your first time in Hawaii, I recommend this tour to truly experience the simplicity and village life of Hawaii, especially for newlyweds. The English commentary and jokes on the bus... even if you don't understand everything, you can just laugh along with everyone, and that makes it all worthwhile. If you get really into it, then that's a win for you. It might be an American style to just enjoy without overthinking it. Once you arrive, it feels like you've time-traveled back to the good old days of a Hawaiian village. You’ll find yourself wanting to do this and that, and before you know it, various shows start. Pay attention to the sound of the conch shell... I will definitely participate again next time. Thank you for such a wonderfully fun time.

このツアーは最高です。とにかく初めから終わりまで最高にハッピーにさせてくれるツアーです。ハワイの伝統を知るならば、このツアーしかないと思います。前回、ハワイに訪れた時は日本でもおなじみのポリネシア文化センターのツアーに参加しましたが、まあ、初めてハワイに行かれるならばここも良いかもしれませんが、本来のハワイの持つ素朴さや村を体験したり、特に新婚さんならば、ここをお勧めします。バスの中から英語の解説やお話し、ジョーク・・・これってわからなくてもみんなと一つになって笑っていれば何とでもなります。この乗りで最高に盛り上がってしまえば、こっちの勝ちって所でしょうか。あまりわからなくても追求なんてしないで味わうのがアメリカンスタイルって事かもしれませんね。到着してからはもう昔の良きハワイの村にタイムスリップしちゃった感じです。とにかくあれもこれもやりたーい・・って言う内に、いろいろな所でショーが始まります。ホラ貝の音に注目しておいて下さいね。。。次回もぜひぜひ参加しまーす。とにかく最高に楽しい時間をありがとう。。

On the first day of my arrival, I went to the show. I felt like it started before I really understood what was happening, probably because I'm not used to English, but I was quite moved by the appearance of the king. I was able to experience a ceremonial hula that you can't find in other dinner shows. Everyone there was very friendly, but since I couldn't speak English, I could only manage polite smiles. It seems that having better English skills is necessary to enjoy it more. As for the food... well, it was just average. I was happy to drink a lot of Kona coffee, though.

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

When you go to Hawaii, you definitely have to enjoy a dance show! However, it can feel a bit lonely if you don't understand English. The host will show you where to sit. After that, it would be a waste to just sit there not knowing what to do! You can go get a free drink and enjoy it, or before the show, you can learn how to open coconuts, get a tattoo, make angel fish from palm leaves, and learn hula dancing at two different stations. Even if you don't understand English, it's better to get up and explore rather than just sitting around.

The buffet-style meal is also guided to your table, so you just have to wait! The food is delicious, and it seems like it was tailored to suit Japanese tastes! It's really tasty! The dancing is fun, and the scent of the ocean and the sound of the waves are refreshing, which made me feel great.

However, it was a bit disappointing that it rained in Kona, which is quite rare!

やっぱりハワイに行ったら、ダンスショーを楽しまなきゃ！って思いましたね。ただ英語がわからないと寂しい思いもします。座る場所はホストが教えてくれます。その後はどうして良いか判らず座っていると勿体ない！。フリードリンクを取って来て飲んでも良し、ショーの前にココナツの剥き方や、タトゥー、ヤシの葉で作るエンゼルフィッシュ，フラダンスの仕方など２カ所に別れてやっているので、英語がわからずとも座っていないでどんどん見て回ると良いです。
ビュッフェタイプの食事もテーブル事に案内してくれるので、まっていれば良いだけ！。
料理はそれも美味しくて、日本人好みにしたんじゃないか！って位口に合います。それを食べても美味しいです！。ダンスも楽しいし、海の香りと波の音も爽やかで、いい気分でした~。

The fire dance is impressive. ファイアーダンスは見応えあります。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

From 5 PM, you can either ride the electric tram for an hour or take a walk to explore the garden. If you're short on time, you just need to arrive at the venue by 6 PM. I was really looking forward to the sacred ritual of 'imu' (digging up the pig), but it turned out to be just two men digging in the ground, which felt a bit underwhelming. Most of the participants seemed to be Westerners. There were many tour groups, and after the imu ceremony, we moved to the dining area. As expected, it was quite crowded, making it difficult to find a seat. Seats were reserved for tour guests, so individual customers had to find their own, and with so many foreigners around, I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a seat. Once seated, it was cocktail time, and drinks like Mai Tais were plentiful. Beer and various cocktails could be ordered at the counter for free. After that, we went in line to get buffet food, but I didn't understand the English instructions at all, so I mistakenly took food before it was my turn. During the meal, there was live band music, which was nice, but since we had to move to a different area for the luau, I felt I couldn't relax and ended up moving to the next venue early. This moving around was a hassle and felt unsettling. The luau lasted an hour and featured a stage with elaborate lighting. The concept was to dance from various countries across the Pacific and promote friendship, and there was even a Japanese dance, but for some reason, the song title was "Ka~rasu naze naku no~," which was quite puzzling for Japanese people. The final fire dance was spectacular, and I wished they had shown more of that. It felt more like watching a show rather than experiencing a traditional luau.

17時から１時間は電動トラムにのってもいいし、歩いてもガーデンを散策する時間で、時間がない方は18時までに会場にはいればいいかんじです。神聖な儀式のイム（豚を土から掘り出す）をけっこう楽しみにしてたんですが､ほんとに男の人２人で土を掘るだけで別になんだかなという感じでした。参加者はばっとみたかんじ欧米人が大半でした。ﾂｱｰの人が多く､イムセレモニーの後、食事をする場所に移動するのですが､さすがに人気と言うだけあって、人が多く､席をさがすのに大変でした。ﾂｱｰのお客さんように席がとってあって、個人客は自分で探さないといけないし、外人ばっかりで、席とれないかとおもいました。席につくと、カクテルタイムで、マイタイなどはもうふんだんに作っておいてあって、ビールと各種お好みのカクテルはカウンターで注文して（無料）飲めました。そのあと、列ごとにバイキングの食事をとりに行くのですが､英語の説明なんかまったくわかんなかったので､知らなくて､まだ自分の順番でないのに食事を取ってきてしまいました。食事中はバンドの生演奏があって、いいかんじだけど、ルアウの場所も食事の場所から移動しないといけないので、うかうか食べてられないと思い、早々に次の会場へ移動しました。この会場移動がめんどくさいし、落ち着きませんでした。ルアウは１時間あって、照明を多用したこったステージです。太平洋をはさんで、各国の踊りを踊って､みんな仲良くしようねと言うコンセプトがあって、日本の踊りもあったけど、なぜか曲名はカ~ラスなぜなくの~で、日本人からするとかなりはぁ？っていう内容でした。最後のファイアーダンスだけはすばらしくって、これをもっとみせてほしいなぁと思いました。ルアウをみるというよりショーを見る感じ。伝統的なルアウの内容ではありませんでした。

We participated as two families. Since it was an English tour, I was a bit anxious, but with the voucher, there were no issues at the reception. Once on board, the staff was kind, which made me feel at ease. The boat anchored in about 8 meters of water. Although I started snorkeling feeling a bit overwhelmed at first, I gradually got used to it and began to see fish and even dive a little...

The kids boldly played by jumping into the sea from the second deck of the boat using a slide and diving from the deck (4-5 meters). The parents also returned to their childhood and jumped in as well.

There are two episodes related to the camera...
First, a friend's husband dove from the deck with a camera! When he came up from underwater, he had a cut on his forehead... the camera had hit him. Fortunately, the injury wasn't too serious, but the camera was broken. For some reason, we all ended up laughing... everything becomes fun when you're here.

Second, my husband came down the stairs from the deck with ease. However, he slipped at the end! The camera he was holding disappeared into the sea. But the staff dove in and found the camera for us. We were so moved. Thank you very much.

子供たちは、船の２Ｆデッキから滑り台で海へ飛び込んだり、デッキ（４~５Ｍ）から海へ飛び込んだり、大胆に遊んでいました。親たちも童心に帰って飛び込んでみたりしちゃいました。

その１．友人のご主人は、カメラを持ってデッキからダイビング！！水中から顔を上げるとおでこに血が・・・・カメラが当たってしまったのです。けがは、それほどでもなったのですかカメラが壊れてしまったのです。でもなぜか大笑い・・ここにいると何でも楽しくなってしまいます。
その２．私の夫は、軽快にデッキから階段を下りてきました。ところが最後にツル！
手に持っていたカメラが海のそこへ~~消えていきました。ところが、スタッフのかたが潜ってカメラを探してきてくれたのです。もう大感激でした。ありがとうございました。

It was disappointing that we couldn't see dolphins, but the snorkeling was a huge hit with the kids. They especially loved the slide and diving from the boat, which were very thrilling, and they tried it multiple times. Although it was an English tour, my family, who only speaks Japanese, had almost no problems.

イルカに会えなかったのは残念でしたが、シュノーケリングは子どもが大喜びでした。特に船の上からのすべり台や飛び込みはとてもスリルがあって何度も挑戦していました。英語ツアーだけれど、日本語しかしゃべれないうちの家族でもほとんど問題なかったです。

野生のイルカウォッチング＆シュノーケリングツアー ＜朝食・昼食付き＞

Regarding the Body Glove snorkeling tour... ボディーグルーブのシュノーケルツアーに関して・・・

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Our family consisted of our youngest child, a 4-year-old girl, and two boys aged 13 and 15, along with my spouse. We had a decent time. I'm not sure if it was because it was a Monday, but there were about 30 participants in total. The breakfast pastries and fruits, as well as the ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, were plentiful enough that there were leftovers at the end. I thought the flavors were quite American and a bit bland, but my son really enjoyed the breakfast muffins, and my wife loved the vegetables served at lunch and went back for seconds. The deck was not crowded with that number of people, which felt just right.

After about a 30-minute sail, we arrived at our destination and started snorkeling. The instructions were only in English, but I assumed that the safety information was all that mattered, so I think as long as you have some common sense, you should be fine. The only warning was that "fins should not be worn until just before entering the water," and there were no other particular issues. My 4-year-old daughter, who dislikes getting her face wet, was floating with a life jacket. The three men dove down to about 4 meters to see the fish, but unfortunately, the fish were scarce... (this might have been specific to that day?). This was the biggest downside. I don't know how Hanauma is these days, but I don't think there's much difference (the water wasn't murky like at Hanauma). There was one more thing: the man steering the boat was completely unfriendly. The other crew members were all nice (no worries there). Also, if you're prone to seasickness, it's advisable to take medication beforehand. The ham and cheese sandwiches after snorkeling might be heavy for some people... but I still felt like I wanted to participate again.

我が家は一番下の子が４歳の女の子から上は１３、１５歳の男の子、そして夫婦で参加いたしました。それなりに楽しめましたよ。月曜だったと言う事なのかよくわかりませんが、参加者は総勢３０名くらいだったかな？朝食のパン類果物類、昼のハムやチーズのサンドウィッチも最後には余る位余裕でした。味の方は私はアメリカらしい大味だな~と思っていましたが、息子は朝食のマフィンを家内は昼食で出た野菜類を痛く気に入っておかわりをしていました。デッキはその人数だと混雑していず、丁度良い感じでした。
出航後、約３０分の航海で目的地に着きシュノーケルをスタートします。案内は英語だけでしたが、安全に関する話が全てだろうと思っていたので、ある程度常識が有ればOKだと思います。注意されたのは「足ひれは海に入る直前まで着けない」の１点で後は特にありませんでした。４歳の娘も顔に水がつくのが嫌いなくせに、ライフジャケットで浮かんでいました。男たち３人は４mくらいの所まで潜って魚たちを見に行きましたが、なにせ、魚影が薄い・・・（この日に限ってのことなのかも？）これが一番の欠点でした。最近のハナウマがどうか知りませんが、大差はないと思います。（ハナウマの様に水は濁ってませんよ）後もう一つありました。船の舵を取ってるおじさんが全く愛想がない。他のクルーはいい人ばかりです（心配なく）。それから船に弱い人は薬は飲んでおいた方が良い場合が有ります。シュノーケル後のハムやチーズのサンドは人に依ってはヘビーかもしれませんから・・でも、また参加したいという気持ちが沸いてきました。

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞＜現地集合可／コオリナ・リゾート内＞

It's a bit ambiguous. 微妙な感じ

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated on July 25th. As expected, there were very few Japanese people. The staff in charge of transportation could only speak Japanese for greetings and the meeting time. Even upon arrival, there were no brochures or maps. However, I managed to get by through observation. Making hair accessories with Lei, throwing spears, and bowling? Even without understanding the language, I was able to manage. I did give a tip for the body painting, but since others weren't giving tips, I didn't give any more. If you follow the crowd, you'll be fine. During the show, I couldn't understand the host's words at all; it seemed like they were saying things like "shake hands with the person next to you" and "let's say mahalo," but I just looked around. On the way back, there was some playful interaction between the buses, and I was impressed by the high energy. It was fun, but since I couldn't communicate, it felt like I missed out on some of the experience. I really realized how necessary English is. I wish there had at least been a brochure in Japanese.

7/25日に参加しました。わかっていたことですが、日本人は極少数です。送迎の係りも挨拶と集合時間しか日本語はできません。到着してもパンフレットも案内図もなくて。でも、見よう見まねですがなんとかなりました。レイ、ヘアアクセサリーを作ったり、槍投げ、ボーリング？も言葉がわからなくてもなんとかなります。肌にペイントをしてくれるのだけはチップ入れがあったので入れましたが、あとは、ほかの人たちも渡してなかったので渡しませんでした。人の波についていけばなんとかなります。ショーは司会の人の言葉がぜーんぜん聞き取れず、「隣の人と握手」「マハロを言おう」なんて言ってたみたいですが、これも周りをみながら。帰りのバスはバス同士でお遊びがあり、さすがハイテンションと感心。おもしろかったのですが、言葉も通じずなんか遊びきった感じがしないのです。やはり英語って必要だなーと痛感しました。せめて日本語用のパンフレットがほしかった。

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

Luau and dinner unique to the Big Island of Hawaii. ハワイ島ならではのルアウ＆ディナー

Reviewed by: sista

A unique space completely different from the glamorous dinner shows in urban areas... You can enjoy a relaxed luau and buffet at an outdoor venue full of mood, backed by the Huehue Heiau floating in Kamakahonu Bay in front of the King Kamehameha Hotel.

After a welcome with a shell lei (fresh flower lei for an additional $4) and a commemorative photo, you can enjoy drinks and take your seats. The entertainment begins with body painting and the Coconut Man, followed by the unearthing of the imu (the roasted pig) and the royal court entrance ceremony... There's over an hour of fun before the meal＾＾

Once you return to your seats, the buffet starts. Since seating is organized by table, there's no crowding, and the food is replenished continuously, allowing you to savor all the dishes. All drinks are free, and you can order at the drink stand. There were fruit punch, cola, Sprite, beer, red and white wine, and Mai Tai. The Mai Tai here is light on rum, making it very easy to drink and highly recommended♪

As your stomach is pleasantly filled and the sun begins to set, the main show starts. With the MC's sweet singing voice and introductions to the history of Big Island interspersed, there are hula, Polynesian, Hawaiian cowboy, tribal dances, and fire dances, all unfolding in a powerful display on a small stage. The Coconut Man also joins the dancers, adding jokes to the diverse program, which is understandable given that it was fully booked even on a weekday (Thursday).

For those with small children (and those who are impatient), I recommend reserving the front-row HANOHANO seats to get to the buffet quickly, as the wait for food can be long and everything is conducted in English. Reservations can be made at the hotel luau desk on the day (before entry). (On weekdays, it's $10 for adults and $8 for children.)

I participated on the night of my arrival on the Big Island, and despite the busy departure from Japan, flight fatigue, and a bit of jet lag, I was able to relax and unwind.

This time, thanks to ALAN's "It's expensive! Alan-chan (lowest price guarantee)," the adult participation fee was changed from $65 to $60!

伝統ルアウ＆フラ・ハワイアンショー　アイランド・ブリーズ・ルアウ（キングカメハメハホテル内）＜ブッフェ夕食／飲み放題／シェルレイ付＞

Island Breeze Luau アイランドブリーズルアウ

Reviewed by: alohaspirit

I just returned from my 11th trip to Hawaii after a year and a half. This was my second time on the Big Island. As for the Island Breeze Luau, my impression is "just okay."

From a show perspective, I prefer the grand performance at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu. There were six male dancers and four female dancers, if I remember correctly. One of the female dancers wasn't that great. Maybe she was still inexperienced?

Regarding the food, the basic luau dishes like kalua pig, lau lau, lomi lomi salmon, ahi poke, and haupia were all very delicious. However, the buffet serving area was quite small for the number of guests (only two spots), and each table had to go up at staggered times. Unfortunately, the table I was seated at was the last to go, and while I didn't have to worry about food running out, I ended up waiting a long time and got really hungry.

As for the location, I stayed at the King Kamehameha Kona Beach Hotel, which made it easy to get there. It was nice to have the ocean right in front of me.

One more thing that caught my attention was the commemorative photo at the entrance. At the Paradise Cove Luau on Oahu, the dancers joined in for a very vibrant photo, but at the Island Breeze Luau, they just had the guests stand there for a picture. The background was just a hedge, making it look like an amateur digital camera shot. Of course, I didn't buy that photo.

So, for those who have never experienced a luau and are only going to the Big Island, I would say it's "worth a try." However, if you're also visiting Oahu, I highly recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center or Paradise Cove Luau.

1年半ぶり、11回目のハワイ旅行に行ってきました。ハワイ島は2回目です。アイランドブリーズルアウ、私としては「まぁまぁ」という感想です。

ショーの観点からは私はオアフ島のポリネシアカルチャーセンターの壮大なやつの方が好きです。ダンサーの構成は男性6名、女性4名だったかな。その中の女性一名の踊りがちょっとイマイチでした。まだ歴が浅かったのかな？

料理についてですが、カルアピッグ・ラウラウ・ロミロミサーモン・アヒポキ・ハウピアなどの基本的なルアウ料理はそれぞれとてもおいしかったです。しかし客の人数に対しバフェをサーブする場所がとても小さく(たったの2箇所)、各テーブル毎に時間差で取りに行かされ、よりによって私が着席したテーブルは一番最後に食事を取りに行くはめになり、食べ物がもう残っていない！という心配は全くないのですが、待たされてとてもお腹がすいてしまいました。

ロケーションとしては、私はキングカメハメハコナビーチホテルに泊まったので、行くのが楽で良かったです。目の前が海というのも良かったです。

あと一つ気になったのが、入場時の記念撮影。オアフ島のパラダイスコーブルアウの時はダンサーの人も一緒に写真に入ってくれてとても華やかな仕上がりだったのですが、このアイランドブリーズルアウはただ客を立たせて写すだけ。しかも背景もただの垣根。素人のデジカメ同然でした。もちろんその写真は買いませんでした。

ということで、ルアウを体験したことがなくハワイ島にしか行かれない方には「まぁ行ってみるのも良いでしょう」程度のお勧め度ですが、オアフ島にも行かれる方は是非ポリネシアカルチャーセンターかパラダイスコーブルアウをお勧めします。
