Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Cheif's is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!

Reviewed by: Natalie Gutierrez

Cheif's Luau is a MUST DO!!! This was our favorite thing we did on our entire trip to Hawaii. If possible, pay for transportation included. The ride to the luau was fun and informative - it was like a mini tour because the guide taught us some Hawaiian words, fun facts, gavw us cultural insights, and even made jokes! This was literally the best thing ever! This is perfect for everyone! Kid friendly, but also perfect for couples and families alike. In fact, the Luau was so great that I think mostly adults would appreciate all the effort made by Cheif and Tamatoa! Best fire show also!! 10/10

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞＋星空観測ツアー　1名～参加OK！グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり＜午後／日本語ガイド＞

Watching the sunset and stargazing from the summit of Haleakalā. ハレアカラ山頂から見る夕陽と星空観察

Reviewed by: 蓬莱山蒼龍

I was guided to Haleakalā by Mr. Yamauchi from Maui All Stars.

Before it got dark, I was moved by the stunning display of the setting sun and the sea of clouds below, painted in shades of crimson. As the sun set and darkness fell, countless stars began to shine in the sky. Thanks to Mr. Yamauchi's extensive expertise and equipment, I was able to easily identify the names of the stars and constellations sparkling in the night sky. This sight was something that couldn't be captured by a camera, so I etched the starry sky into my heart.

I was particularly excited to see both the Big Dipper and the Southern Cross at the same time, which are rarely visible together. I don't think such luck will come my way again, but I hope to create another opportunity to visit. If you ever go to Maui, be sure to visit for the sunset and starry sky at Haleakalā. And do it with Mr. Yamauchi as your guide... Kiba.

ハレアカラ山を「Maui All Starsの山内さん」に案内して貰いました。

暗くなるまでの時間は、沈みゆく太陽と足下の雲海がくりなす茜色の競演に感動しました。
陽が落ち暗くなると空に無数の星が輝き始めましたが、山内さんの豊富な専門知識と機材のお陰で、満点の空に煌めく星の名前や星座が手に取るように判り感動しました。この光景はとてもカメラには捉えられないので、心に星空を焼き付けました。
特に、滅多に見られないと言う「北斗七星と南十字星」が一度に見られ興奮しました。こんな幸運はこの先訪れないと思いますが、機会を作ってまた訪れたいと思います。
皆さんもマウイ島に行かれた時は、是非「ハレアカラ山の夕焼けと星空」を見に訪れてください。
それも、山内さんのガイドで........木全　拝

Reviewed by: DTS

The Pearl Harbor Guided Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri tour was so moving. The Arizona Memorial was very humbling to know how many lives were given up for the freedom we enjoy today. The Battleship Missouri was amazing, knowing all the history that transpired on it. The tour underneath with all the memorabilia brought us right back to the days that the letter were written, the bed that were slept in, the uniforms that were worn and so much more. It was so educational and inspirational!

Reviewed by: やまなんちゅう

We boarded the Star of Honolulu for a vow renewal to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Forty years ago, we also participated in a dinner cruise for our honeymoon. With the captain present, we renewed our vows against the backdrop of Diamond Head! We toasted together! The captain said, "Please come back in another 20 years!" The guide spoke in Japanese and took many photos for us. The weather was great, we saw a rainbow, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful. The complimentary champagne and food were delicious, and everyone on board was lively, making it a very enjoyable time.

Our family of 4 had an amazing time watching the sunset and stargazing with Yoshi! It’s a very special experience that we all enjoyed and won’t soon forget. Yoshi did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable and adapting to the high altitudes well. He showed us many stars and constellations and provided a lot of details about the island and vegetation. We would definitely recommend this tour!

This is a recommended tour if you go to Maui! マウイ島に行ったらおすすめのツアーです！

Reviewed by: KK-YK

I participated in the Haleakalā sunset and stargazing tour in June. I was thoroughly entertained by the guide, Yamapi, whose explanations I had seen in the media. The sea of clouds, sunset, and starry sky at Haleakalā were more beautiful than anything I had ever seen before. Additionally, the local food I was recommended to buy along the way was so delicious that I ended up going back for more during my trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Maui.

マウイ島にいらっしゃる方は、参加されるのぜひおすすめしたいです。

Enjoyed the show. The entertainment was very good. We paid to be picked up. I am so glad we made that decision. Traffic was bad but our driver Johnny handled it like a pro. Greg checked us in and then narrated the trip. He had a great sense of humor and made the ride very enjoyable. The chief also had a great sense of humor and made the stories very interesting. We were also surprised with flowers for our anniversary. They were all very courteous and made you feel like part of the family. We will definitely go again if we are ever back in Hawaii.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー＜ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内＞

The hula dance was overwhelming. ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした

Reviewed by: 旅はみちづれ

I reserved tickets for the show on June 4th (Sunday) the night before using my smartphone and attended. The luau dance was overwhelming. In particular, the fire dance was powerful and breathtaking. There was also hula dancing, and we enjoyed a packed show. The leader's talk was witty and engaging, and he was great at keeping everyone entertained for a long time.

Both my wife and I were very satisfied with the show itself, but we hope for some improvements in the dinner. However, I also think that unless it's a hotel luau dinner show on Oahu, one shouldn't expect much from the food. The dishes listed on the menu were indeed available, but they were served in the typical Hawaiian white plastic containers where everyone serves themselves (similar to the buffet style at Japanese hotel breakfast venues where you line up and walk while picking up food). The quality and taste of the food are best not to be expected too highly. Please consider the show as the main attraction and the dinner as just an addition.

6/4（日）のショーを前日の夜、スマートフォンで予約して参加しました。
ルアウの踊りは圧倒的でした。特に、火の舞は、迫力があり、息をのむほど。
フラダンスもありで、盛沢山のショーを楽しみました。リーダーのトークも軽妙洒脱で、皆を乗せるのがうまく、長い時間を飽きさせない人でした。
妻も私もショー自体にはとても満足しましたが、夕ご飯はもう少し改善してほしいところです。ただ、オアフ島では、ホテルのフラダンス・ディナーショーでもなければ、食べ物に期待してはいけないのだろうとも思います。メニューに書いてあった料理が確かにありましたが、ハワイ特有の白いプラケースに各自が取るスタイルで（日本のホテルのバイキング／ブッフェスタイルの朝食会場で列を作って歩きながら料理をとるパターン）、料理の品質・味は、期待しない方が良いです。あくまでも、ショーがメインで、夕ご飯は付け足し程度に考えてください。

ノバファイブスター サンセットディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル号 最上階の専用フロア＆プライベートテーブルでいただくプライムテンダーロイン付き5コース

It was a waste of money and time. お金と時間の無駄でした

Reviewed by: 特になし

I went on the 5-Star cruise. I made a reservation with the Celebration Plan (guaranteed window seat) and paid for it, but I was booked under the regular plan. While the manager was confirming my reservation, I couldn't eat the food in front of me for about 30 minutes after being seated. In the end, it turned out that the reservation from VELTRA to Star of Honolulu was under the regular plan, and I was treated as such until the end. I never expected something like this to happen. I'm very disappointed.

Also, it seems that the shuttle bus got caught in traffic, so by the time we arrived, dinner had already started, and other guests who arrived earlier were enjoying their meals.

I thought there might be a separate entrance for the 5-Star guests, but there wasn't anything like that. We all lined up at one entrance to board the ship.

The schedule mentioned that there would be a welcome reception by the captain on the exclusive deck on the top floor for 5-Star guests, but there was nothing of the sort. We were just guided to line up and proceed into the ship.

The food wasn't particularly delicious; it was average. It was mentioned that the meat could be cut with a fork, but it was more like something you could manage to cut with a knife.

I have been to Hawaii several times, and regarding the Hilton fireworks, I've seen them from various places, but sitting on the beach south of the Rainbow Tower is the best spot. Watching the fireworks from the cruise ship was an experience, but since it was from a distance, it lacked impact.

Additionally, guests from the lower deck were casually coming up the stairs to the 5-Star deck. There was a rope at the top of the stairs, but they seemed to know how to unhook it to get in and then rehook it. These were regular guests, not staff.

I was considering this might be my elderly mother's first and last overseas trip, so I regret spending a lot of money and time on this optional tour. I hope this review can be helpful to someone.

5スターで行ってきました。
セレブレーションプラン（窓際席確約）で予約し、その分の金額も支払いましたが、通常のプランで予約されており、あちらのマネージャーに予約したプランの確認をしてもらっている間、席についてからも30分ほど、目の前の料理を食べることができませんでした。
結局、VELTRAからスターオブホノルルへの予約が通常プランだったそうで、最後まで通常プランとしての扱いとなりました。
こんなことが起きるなんて、思いもしませんでした。非常に残念で仕方ありません。

また、恐らく送迎バスが渋滞に巻き込まれたせいで、私たちが到着した頃にはすでにディナーは始まっており、先に着いていた他のお客さんは食事を楽しんでました。

乗船する際に5スター用の入口でもあるのかなと思ってましたが、特にそのようなものはなく、大勢で列に並んで一か所の入り口から乗船しました。

5スターだと「最上階の専用デッキでキャプテンによるウェルカムレセプションがある」というスケジュールが記載されていますが、そんなものは一切ありません。列になって船内に進むように案内されました。

料理も、特別おいしいものではなかったですね。普通です。お肉がフォークで切れるという記載がありますが、ナイフでがんばって切れるぐらいの感じでした。

私自身は何度かハワイに行ったことがあり、ヒルトンの花火については、いろいろな場所から見てますが、レインボータワーの南側のビーチに座って見るのが一番ですね。
クルーズ船から花火を見れたことは一つの経験にはなりましたが、遠くから見ることになるので、全然迫力はないです。

それから、下の階のお客さんが、普通に5スターのデッキに階段を上ってきてました。一応階段を上がった先にロープがありますが、手慣れた感じでフックを外して入って、またフックをかけてました。スタッフの方ではなく、一般のお客さんです。

年老いた母を含めた、最初で最後の海外旅行だろうと考えてましたので、このようなオプショナルツアーに大金と時間を使ったことが残念で仕方がないです。
誰かの参考になればと思い、口コミを残します。

I couldn't make it to the summit. 山頂に行けなかった

Reviewed by: Berlin

The stargazing, including the explanation, was great, but the summit was crowded, so we turned back and headed to the observation point. Last time we were able to reach the summit, so I was expecting to do so again this time. There were quite a few breaks along the way, so if you're going to list Haleakalā Summit in the title, please ensure that the schedule allows for a guaranteed ascent.

星空観測は解説も含めてよかったのですが、山頂がいっぱいで引き返して、観測地点に向かいました。前回は山頂に上がれたので、今回も期待していました。途中休憩が結構あったので、タイトルにハレアカラ山頂と記載するのなら、確実に上がれるよう余裕を持ったスケジュールをお願いします。

Maui All Stars Stargazing Tour & Haleakala National Park Sunset Experience

Wonderful guide, 100% recommend over other Haleakala experiences

Reviewed by: Kristin

Yoshi is an excellent, enthusiastic guide who takes great pictures! He provided a lot of neat information about Maui and Haleakala along with extensive knowledge about the stars. You are picked up from fairly accessible locations, and I'm glad to pay for someone experienced in driving the roads, which can get narrow and quite close to cliff edges. Three stops along the way before the peak to get accustomed to the gradual climb in altitude. The actual crater couldn't be seen due to clouds, but Haleakala was still quite beautiful to see. I chose the sunset tour because I didn't want to get up that early for sunrise, and I'm glad I did! I was well rested and the sunset was beautiful. Yoshi provided comfortable camp chairs, warm coats, gloves, and hot tea as we waited for the sunset. You need to bring your own dinner, so don't forget to pack it! It was great, super peaceful, quiet, and comfy! Once night fell, Yoshi brought out some high-tech telescopes and pointed out constellations. I got to see Mars! It was a very clear night and amazing to see all the stars filling the sky. Informative and quite the experience. Afterwards, he drove us back. I really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend!

Ride to the ship was ok. Getting onboard was good. Overall food on deck 2, roast beef menu was subpar. Not good enough to want seconds. Wife and I felt this excursion was way too long. Especially being on the water got boring and we love the water. Sorry but the entertainment was that exiting. We were just counting down the minutes to get off the ship. The staff was nice and accommodating but the overall feeling of wanting to stay on the ship died off after the first hour on board.

I participated with my wife and two daughters (ages 6 and 12). We were all very satisfied as we were able to see a stunning sunset along with many stars. They provided telescopes and binoculars, allowing us to observe closely, and thanks to Yamapi's guidance, we had a very enjoyable time with his rich knowledge and storytelling.

They do lend out warm clothing, but it can still be quite cold, so I recommend bringing layers to wear underneath. The cold seemed to affect the children particularly.

防寒具は貸してくれますが、とはいえやはり寒いので下に着込めるものは持っていかれることをお勧めします。
